Current book I’m reading: The Talisman
by Stephen King and Peter Straub. I saw a third book is coming in the fall so I better get reading. I’ve read most of King’s most famous books.
The cast for The Hunt For Gollum looks interesting. I assume Kate Winslet will play a hobbit. I am stoked to see Gandalf again on the big screen.
Ever since Ozzy Osbourne died I’ve been listening to a lot of heavy metal or hard rock. (Metallica, Iron Maiden), Tom Morello’s guitar gymnastics in that Bruce Springsteen concert got me into Raging Against The Machine.
I got the NBA league pass to distract from the events of the world. Man, oh man, wish I got it sooner…
The President of the United States has lost all of his marbles. The 25th Amendment must happen. What is going on is completely unacceptable and spiraling out of control and dangerous to the whole world.
The Ghost Of Tom Joad by Bruce Springsteen with Tom Morello was one of the more memorable performes I ever seen.
I’m a fan of the Harry Potter books and looking forward to the new HBO series. But it’s too bad they’d didn’t have all the scripts written to shoot it annually. Because the kids are gonna be 40 by the time they finish. 🤣
I didn't have Stephen Colbert co-writing a Lord of the Rings film on my 2026 Bingo card. I read the outline of what Tolkien had in mind after LOTR, it didn't look good enough and didn't feature Hobbits. This sounds like it could work, as it deals with Halflings. But... it is a TALL order.
Project Hail Mary rocketed off with a $80.6M box office opening. The cinema business is alive and well.
RIP Chuck Norris.
Luka got a half dollar plus a dime. 60 piece. Luka is killin' it this year. If the Lakers had a more consistent 55-win or better season, he'd be the clear MVP.
New Spiderman movie trailer dropped. I assume there is gonna be 6 films with Tom Holland and Venom will be in the 6th. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbeZ...
It is ridiculous that Bernard Hill, who was in Titanic and The Lord of the Rings, did not get any Oscar Memoriam. #oscars
I’m happy that Paul Thomas Anderson finally won. I really think he should’ve won a couple Oscars right now. Especially for There Will Be Blood. #Oscars
I only saw a few Oscar nominated films this year so far. But for me, One Battle After Another was the crème de la crème. #oscars
I have been burned out on superhero movies since Avengers End Game. But, the new Superman movie and Fantastic Four revitalized my interest in the genre. Supergirl might be a classic.
The Lord of the Rings on VHS. I am trading in my iPhone and will go back to rotary dial, too.
Harrison Ford was my favorite actor as a kid. I loved Indiana Jones. I must’ve watched the third 100 times as a kid. I got the hat, I got a whip, got the posters, soundtracks, couple figurines, and the movies in every format outside of laserdisc. Hats off to him and his career.
My love for horror began with the Alien movies and the Resident Evil games. I’m looking forward to play Resident Evil Requiem. ign.com/articles/res...
I'm not the only one who has seen special effects in movies have been either getting worse or the same in the last 20 years. The only exception for me: Avatar movies. www.creativebloq.com/3d/vfx-cgi/i...
Well, I got tickets to Bruce Springsteen's Land Of Hope And Dreams tour. I'm stroked. I might check out the Iron Maiden tour too.
One VHS to rule them all. I now own The Lord of the Rings on VHS. I own it in all formats now.
One of the most memorable lines in movie history was delivered by Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now.
RIP Robert Duvall. I have the poster to The Godfather right by me as I type this. The greatest film of all time that only gets better with age.
The new series format for the NBA All Star game was dope. It was actually competitive and not a snooze fest like other ones in the last ten years. Great to see Anthony Edwards win MVP.
I read that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is going to get a second season. I am looking forward to it as I think it was one of the better SW shows. Goonies meets SW.
Happy birthday to the great John Williams. I’m looking forward to that new Steven Spielberg movie, Disclosure Day to hear his new score.
For all people who don’t agree.
