Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Taking today for some retro movie viewing. Batman and Robin is an undisputed trainwreck

This particular disasterpiece made it really difficult to accept that a ‘good’ Batman movie could rise from its ashes

Fortunately Nolan and Reeves showed they were up to the task and understood the assignment

In the middle of a meltdown rage fit, my 8y/o demanded his markers and paper to make a Christmas list. Wanna guess what happened after being informed gifts were already bought and wrapped?

If you guessed he raged on some more, you win!

Merry Christmas (I guess??) 🤷‍♂️

I just re-watched Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Everything about that movie was a masterpiece. It was a touching tribute to Chadwick Boseman and his film legacy as the Black Panther.

Nothing F’s up watching free MCU movies on YouTube like some fool inserting homemade sounding electro-pop ‘music’ into them, over the character dialog/ruining scene(s). Worse off, their music sucks. So I can’t even say it was at least a good track.

It’s actually quite funny that my 8y/o actually thinks he needs to agree to the consequences he receives before they can be applied. 😆

Christmas time doesn’t officially begin until you’ve watched ‘National Lampoons Christmas Vacation’ for the first time in the season.

Just saw the first 8 mins of the upcoming ‘Kraven’ online and I have to admit that I now have less reservations about seeing thus Spider-Man adjacent film than I did before. It’s actually looking pretty good based on what I saw. youtu.be/i-nAetWvYa8?...

Still haven’t figured out when someone says “fun family vacation,” when the “fun” part actually begins. I can’t speak for anyone else, but traveling with my kids means they act the same towards each other, only the location has changed.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get a little nervous about getting pooped on when a huge flock or birds flies over you?

I always knew my 8y/o son was a bit weird, but the tuna on a buttered roll with cinnamon sugar pretty much cinched it.
