Just a boring guy sharing his opinions which are based on nothing but the thoughts in my head. Take them if ya want. Ignore them if they don't matter. Call them out if they come across hateful, ignorant, or dangerous. For my part, I do try to be mindful.

Anaconda Review. Enjoyable. Still don't like snakes but love Jack Black. Review is below, if interested.

A ★★★ review of Anaconda (2025)
Jack Black may be the most bankable star for any film that is looking for hilarious ridiculousness. This movie isn't trying to be more than it is. It is a "spiritual sequel" to the original which does...

My particular blend of quick wit and ADHD means I have a well constructed and thought out joke in my head that becomes completely unrecognizable coming out of my mouth.

Fortunately, ADHD also helps me overthink and fixate on the gaff for the next several days so, there's that.

"We have almost a responsibility to figure out how we can continue this universe." - Universal's Chief Marketing Officer, Michael Moses

Just curious what others think of this idea? Personally, I don't think the Wicked story demands further exploration.

Got around to watching Predator: Badlands. I think Dan Trachtenberg may be the best thing to happen to this franchise in a long time.

Starting to watch Fast Times at Ridgemont High (for the first time) and it has sparked an idea. I'd love to watch "high school" movies through the decades to see what stays the same and what changed. Anyone have any suggestions of good movies going as far back as ya can?

#moviesky #filmsky
Poster for "Fast times at Ridgemont High" features a man sitting at a school desk with two women on either side of him. There is a surf board behind him. The title is in various fonts with red and white text on a purple and yellow background.

Is it wrong to go from one of the greatest films ever made to, well....something else. We all make decisions in life.

The poster for Parasite. Features a nice lawn and house with large windows. 4 people can be seen with black bars across there eyes. A pair of legs are in the lower left foreground. The poster for Hubie Halloween features Adam Sandler in front of the moon dressed in a collared shirt with a "monitor" sash. An array of characters are lined across the front with the title across the bottom.

Just finished listening to the very good book, "The Apothocene Reviewed" by @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social.

Sorry, John I would have used a different scale but, it is 2025 and I'm pretty sure anything other than the 5 star system is illegal.

Definitely an off month. 4 audiobooks and no book books. Now that I've taken that break, time to get back to the reading. Also, Katabasis is very good.
