I'm really late to the game, but I've been binge-watching Vikings. I just finished Season 5 last night and let me tell you, this has been an emotional roller coaster ride.



I enjoyed Vikings so much that I have every episode on DVD up to S.6 Ep.10. I have been waiting for what seems like forever for the second half of season 6 to air.

So there's no doubt who I'm supporting.

I just resubscribed to Disney+ so I could watch Loki and Winter Soldier. Haven't seen WS, but Loki is SO GOOD! Watching Owen Wilson and Tom Hiddleston banter is really fun. I love the way they are expanding out the Marvel universe.

I loved WandaVision, even if it made me sad all over again. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier was brilliant and I love Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan's connection.

So far, I'm enjoying Loki as well. I have so many theories and it's been fun trying to remember all the comics I read as a kid.

I just finished 'Sweet Tooth.' It was entertaining and emotional. A rating of 8 of 10 for me. I have only rated one movie a ten. I am a tough scorer.

Working my way through Godzilla Singular Point on Netflix. It's an anime that seriously reimagines the whole Japanese monsterverse. Rodan, in particular, gets a major makeover, becoming a species of large pterosaur instead of single giant bird (no spoiler there, this comes out right in the first episode). Huge flocks of them attack major cities all over the planet. I am generally enjoying it, though there is an odd amount of expository material building up a weird science origin for the monsters. The art work is a big strange, with the humans being rather typical cartoonish anime figures while the monsters, especially the rodans, are more artistically drawn. And there's nice little Easter eggs here and there for anime and kaiju fans (e.g. the look of a Mcguffin in this series is modelled on the Oxygen Destroyer from the Godzilla movies).

Halloween looms and my annual story is here. Is it a trick? Or a treat? Let me know.

How have I not seen this? I'm actually pretty ignorant of the anime flavors of Godzilla, other than Shin Godzilla. I'll jump into this.

Watching Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It's okay, but after the explosion of creativity with Loki and Wandavision and even Spiderman: Into the Multiverse, Winter Soldier seems a little lackluster.

It's brand new. Just dropped last month, I think, though they were promo'ing it for a while before. One thing I didn't mention in that post but that might interest you: Jet Jaguar is back, first as a piloted mecha, then as a robot.

And Shin Godzilla is live action, not anime. Also, it's the best Godzilla movie since the 1954 Gojira (though the 2014 Legendary has its merits, too) but that's another conversation.

The only movie I have ever rated a 10.0 is a movie most people have never heard of, 'The Man of Earth.' It is a small independent film written by Jerome Bixby, who died in 1998. His son, Emerson, brought together a group of well-known co-star type of actors to film it in 2007 on a $200,000 budget over six days. It won a Saturn award that year and several other awards at various film festivals. It had a very limited release and was then released on DVD in 2007.

Its ratings are high on most sites, but due to its static nature and religious connotations, it did receive some low votes. It was filmed in and around a single rural house. Much as '12 Angry Men' was filmed in two rooms during a jury's deliberation.

IMDb's summary is, 'An impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman becomes a mysterious interrogation after the retiring scholar reveals to his colleagues he has a longer and stranger past than they can imagine.'

I highly recommend it as my all-time favorite movie. I believe it is currently on Hulu for free.

Wow, that got really good scores on Rotten Tomatoes! It looks good. My favorite quote: "I can give you the ten commandments in ten words: Don't. Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't."

I am fading on the Falcon/Winter Snowman thing. It's good, it's just not grabbing me. Still loving Loki.

Were you watching the original Charmed or the remake?

So far, the three Marvel mini-series seem to be formatted like a movie cut into pieces rather than a standard mini-series, where each episode is formatted as a single show. This makes some episodes harder to enjoy singularly. I think the best way to watch them is to wait until the entire series is completed and then binge-watch them. I just can not wait that long myself. I thought the first two episodes of 'Wanda-Vision' were so dull, but they played an essential part in the whole story when taken with the entire mini-series. With 'Falcone and the Winter Soldier' had the same problem with a couple of its middle episodes. I have only seen the first three episodes of 'Loki,' and they seem alright, but once I have seen the entire mini-series, I believe (hope) that all of them will become more understandable and interesting. It seems to me like movie trilogies. The trilogy's second film is usually considered the worse of the three because it does not have the beginning or the end of the trilogy.

I have started rewatching an old TV series. It was Aaron Sorkin's first TV show, 'Sports Night.' It has a good cast and was well-produced, but Sorkin's scripts are fantastic. The pacing and rhythm are like listening to poetry or music.

I know quite a bit about Wauconda. I live only a few miles north of the village. However, I am always disappointed when we travel through Wauconda. I have yet to see those beautiful buildings or even a single flying car. As a matter of fact, the population does not seem to be primarily black. I guess they must be using some holographic technology to hide these things from sight.
