Giving Thanks

 It's that time once again boys and girls! Thanksgiving month is here and (as always) I have a lot to be thankful for! I'm going to try to mention different things from last year but there's a lot of things from this year I can be thankful for as well. 

For a lot of folks, Christmas season is in full effect, but in my house, no decor goes up until after Thanksgiving. From now until that day, I'm going to be thankful for everything in life. 

So let's kick this off to say Happy Thanksgiving Season everyone!

I hope you have as many things to be thankful for as I do. 

Fall 2 (review)

 I couldn't believe they made another one of these.

But when I realized how cheap they were to make, I knew exactly why they did. 

This is a generic sequel, that introduces the trope "little sister" (we never heard about in the first film) which attempts to tie the stories together. They threw in flashbacks or her with her big sister, but mainly for foreshadowing what was to happen later in the film. 

I knew that immediately after the first 20 minutes.  You have to follow an incredibly thin plot, padded with little reason as to why all the characters are doing  what they do in the film, added with tense moments of them about to fall in-between. Which is expected in a movie called "Fall 2"

How many of these movies will they make? Depends on how much money they continue to bring in. 

Overall, the movie's ok. If you're bored and looking for something to watch I guess you could do worse. 

Have a good weekend folks!

Ziploc Bags

I don't why, but lately my wife has decided it's better to keep leftovers in ziploc bags rather than tupperware. 

Everything. Soup, spaghetti sauce, veggies. You name it, it's in a ziploc. It's annoying. When have tons of tupperware, easy to dispense out. I feel I'm squeezing a tube of food paste every time I get something out of one of these bags. And to take it with me? I put it in tupperware. 

Don't know if this is just my wife or all women. But it's another question I thought I'd ask you. 

 

Women and the seat belt

 I don't know what it is about women and putting on their seat belt when they get in the car but they NEVER want to do it. 

It's not just my wife either. Last week I had 2 different woman from work drive with me for functions and they took forever to put the belt on. My car kept chiming over and over for about 10 minutes before they finally put one on. 

They couldn't hear it?? I don't get it. Why is this such a big deal? Is this most women or just the ones who ride with me?

I don't know and I don't get it. 

Lanterns (review)

 Finally finished this a few weeks ago, thought I'd give my thoughts. 

Truth be told, I used to collect Green Lantern back in the day. Hal Jordan is my favorite Lantern so I was interested in what this series had planned for his character. 

Boy was I stupid believing in hollywood. 

This is bad. Hal acts more like Guy Gardner from the comics than himself. Guy is wise cracking, doesn't care about who gets in his way of who he offends along the way. 

But for some unexplained reason they made that Hal in this show. 

John Stewart is a great character in the comics, but you wouldn't know it from this series. He was terribly written and uninteresting. 

And the "twists" just aren't that good. 

Oh and not that many costumes for a super hero show, but I already knew they weren't going to do something exciting and fun like that. 

Pass.

Normal (review)

 Wow. 

Fun stuff. 

Action with a dash of comedy included. Not a bad movie. From the team that brought you John Wick (which is why I watched it in the first place) you can see some moments of action inspired from those films. 

This is nothing like Wick, though it is pretty good. Worth a try if you're looking for something to watch. 

Done with movie review for now. (boy I miss my board game nights)

Feshen Up gum

I remember trying this gum, once. 

The center was so strong a choked on it. Very overwhelming, then the gum went tasteless after that. No wonder it didn't last very long. The gooey center was supposed to be where the flavor was kept but since it didn't keep, I'm sure that's why the product failed. 

Have a good weekend folks!
