Way to go Showtime. What a great way to commit telecast suicide!

Showtime is launching a new series in honor of Black History Month that marginalizes and demeans people of the Caucasian persuasion.

“everything’s gonna be all white” is a docu-series that will explore the history of race. Based on the trailer released by Showtime, it is definitely anti-white.

“What annoys me the most about white people is when they pretend they are the victim,” one performer said. “What’s also annoying is when they kill us.”

The program features a who’s-who of bigots including Dr. Ibram X. Kendi, Dr. Nell Irvin Painter, Jemele Hill, Amanda Seales, Favianna Rodriguez, Tamika Mallory, Styles P, Margaret Cho and Dr. Nick Estes, among others who dissect the many causal effects of race-based decisions and policies on people of color.

. . .however, I felt compelled to watch the movie Atonement.

T'was my first time, watching the film, which I found to be heart-wrenchingly sad.

The beautiful thing about films, is when the writer's of the script and the actors are so
damn good at their performance, that it's convincing enough to have you despise certain
characters for their behavior. Makes me miss writing.

I'll be so happy when I can afford a new desktop, so I can complete the novel I started
back in 2010.

The one thing I truly enjoyed in this film, was the bassoon. Gawd, I f*cking love that
instrument. There's something so haunting and enchanting about that sound in a
love story. It's foreboding. It's like you can sense impending tragedy. Wasn't enough
to tip me off what was to come.

I felt it would be more like the movie The Piano, which has so much moody bassoon
compositions in it. Now, THAT is one of my favorite movies.

I adore Holly Hunter. She was fabulous in that movie, and so funny in Home For The
Holidays; which is the best movie anyone from a dysfunctional family could appreciate.
It's not actually funny to be in one, and to experience the anguish of bullshit that those
who you grow to trust can do. No one on Earth can wound you deeper than family,
because they know all your weaknesses and buttons. However, that movie paints
a comical picture of a family riddled with issues, and people that genuinely hate
each other - well, at least one of them does. The writers and acting was brilliant
on that one too.

Eh, it's 5:34 now. I should go crawl in my hammock, and softly sway to sleeping
in my striped cocoon of dreams.

I have decided to jump into the horror genre. There are a lot of good ones out there, but there are also some VERY boring horror films.

Let's start with the good ones:

The Alien franchise! The movies that cemented my love for the horror genre! Absolutely fantastic movies, that really deserve a place in history. Claustrophobic, disgusting and so amazing, with some kills that will make you squirm! Collective score: 10/10

The Predator franchise! I remember seeing the original with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and once I saw that sports hunter in the flesh, I was sold! I even liked the latest one, which was hated all around. They are making a new one, which I am very excited about! Collective score: 10/10

The Fear Street trilogy. The best horror of 2021, by far! The first film takes place in 1994, and it's very much a Scream homage, which I love! The kills are brutal and messy. One kill this one made me go "Oh damn, wow! Awesome!". It has just what a slasher needs: blood, gore and a well crafted story. The second one takes place in 1978, and it's very much a Friday the 13th film, which manages to be itself throughout, which I love. The kills are again bloody and brutal. Some might even say savage. The final film takes us all the way back to 1666, where we see the origin of the curse that is shown in the first film. This time, however, it's a slow burn, but the third act is where it really becomes a Fear Street film. My verdict: 9/10

It - Chapter I and II

I have never seen the original mini series, but I have heard it's where peoples fear of clowns began, so when they were announcing they were making a remake in TWO parts, I knew I had to see them both. Part I was surprisingly fun, while Part II was SIGNIFICANTLY more darker than part I was. But I had a lot of fun watching both films. Not as gory as I would have liked, but the story was great. Part I had some great kid actors, while Part II built on the suspense and the fun from Part I. Collective score: 8/10

The Hills have Eyes (2006 remake)

Now this was my first in-your-face horror film I saw, and I loved every minute of it. It starts as a regular off the mill classic road movie, but ends up being one of the goriest films ever. It has everything: From heads being blown off, a person semi-melting to full on blood fest. The design of the mutants is also very good. I need this movie in my collection - soon! My verdict: 8/10

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

Five kids pick up a hitchhiker, but ends up getting followed by a chainsaw wielding cannibalistic maniac and his family of psychos. This film has the scene that I hate to watch - nails being RIPPED OFF in slow motion.. It still makes me squirm. Other than that, it's a solid Texas Chainsaw film, and it's highly recommended from here. I showed the film to a bunch of people, and one of them got sick because of what she saw, so it's not for the faint of heart.

Now, it's time to name some of the bad horror films I have watched. Note: This is my opinion. You can have your own, which is fine. I will not go into detail about the films, but just list the names of them. Okay, here we go:

Saw 3-8. The first two were great, but it went downhill from there. Fast.

The Paranormal Activity franchise. I watched the first one, and I was bored. It kept me from watching the rest of the franchise, and by the sound of it, I haven't missed a lot.

Crawl. It was hailed as a modern day masterpiece, but my god it was dull and predictable. I was so bored, that I scrolled through my phone. Easily the worst film I have ever seen.

Army of the Dead. Zach Snyder is a hit and miss. Usually, his films are fantastic (take his version of the Justice League, for example), so when I heard he was making a zombie film with Dave Bautista in the lead, I was intrigued. The trailer looked good as well. Then I saw the movie.. I really wish I hadn't. Absolute trash!

I went for many years without a TV in the bedroom. One woman I dated insisted on it as she couldn't fall asleep without some distraction. She brought over a small screen that had a timer. If I recall, her favorite channel was Oxygen. TV shows for and about women. The late night format was stories about women who were abused by the entire world, not to mention disgruntled ex's.
Oh, I mentioned it.
I'm a believer that when you sleep your subconscious is still absorbing your surroundings. That said, a few times I jumped out of my sleep to hear a woman shrieking when a man holding a knife was approaching... Sorry, no more TV when I'm sleeping.
That forced her to buy a clock radio that also played the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the shore! I was glad when that relationship was over... and take your stinkin' TV with you.
Fast forward 15 years. There is a TV in the bedroom now. It doesn't get used very often. In the past 3 months, a few evening news reports and on Sunday mornings, it's seen some Kung Fu martial arts and one Chinese comedy with English subtitles. That's it. No more chic channel.

I have always wanted to see Midway, ever since I saw the trailer for it, so I reached out to K to hear, if she wanted to go see it tomorrow. "How about we do it today? I will arrive in Copenhagen at 5.15 pm". I checked the time for when the movie began, and it said 6 pm, so I texted her back, saying "Let's do it". So off I went to meet up with K, and watch the film.

The movie stars Ed Skrein, Patrick Wilson, Woody Harrelson, Luke Evans, Mandy More, Luke Kleintank, Dennis Quaid, Tadanobu Asano, Aaron Eckhart and Nick Jonas, and it follows the supposedly true tale, about what lead up to the attack on Pearl Harbor, and the aftermath of the attack.

Directed by Roland Emmerich, this 100 million dollar explosion is VERY entertaining. From the acting to the story to the effects, this movie just delivers. It's easily one of the best movies I have seen this year, and I have seen a lot.

At one point, during a huge action scene, K looked at me with the biggest smile on her face, and her eyes just lit up with excitement and awe, over what she witnessed. And I agreed with her, because it was just plain badass.

As you would expect, in a big budget war film, there are a LOT of explosions. Like.. A metric asstonne of explosions. They are all done beautifully, and I love just how loud and bombastic it is.

On the journey home, we both agreed, that this movie was extremely well made, and we both wanted to watch it again. We felt the same way when we watched Terminator: Dark Fate. We wanted to watch that again instantly.

So all in all, this movie deserves a 9 out of 10. It's really exciting, full of explosions and noise, and it's just pure entertainment and fun to watch!

Did anyone else watch that?

What a cute little young lady. Until you realize she is a murderous psychopath anyway..
