Overthinking It: Robin’s Suit in BvS

My wife and I had a big Batman movie marathon recently. I didn’t think to start with the original Batman movie from 1989, I actually forgot I owned it to be honest. I don’t own any of the other Batman movies until we get to Batman Begins, which made me feel a bit old when … Continue reading Overthinking It: Robin’s Suit in BvS

Overthinking It: Over-Sized Movie Construction

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love movies. I have no problem suspending my disbelief, overlooking problems, and just enjoying myself, but every now and then while watching something an idea will pop into my head, and I just gotta write it down. Which leads to this episode of "Over-Thinking It". … Continue reading Overthinking It: Over-Sized Movie Construction

Overthinking it: Tony Stark in Iron Man 2

I re-watched Iron Man 2 the other day, and was thinking about the scene where Tony Stark sets up the particle accelerator in his house to invent a new element; and I was thinking about the backlash about the scene. I liked it. I am a Journeyman Cabinetmaker, Red Seal Certified; which means that (theoretically) … Continue reading Overthinking it: Tony Stark in Iron Man 2

“Down to Earth”

I love shows about nature and space. Learning about our planet and others; about space exploration, and the technology that does it. Its addicting to me. I've spent whole weekends watching everything I could find on Netflix. I binge watched Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, and the BBC Planet Earth series. I've watched shows on the … Continue reading “Down to Earth”

Justice League: Snyder vs Whedon

Zack Snyder (L) left directing Justice League and Joss Whedon (R) took over for him. Seems like Joss Whedon has taken a bit of a beating on social media and in the news the last few days. Most of the talk is due to hype of the Snyder Cut of Justice League being made and … Continue reading Justice League: Snyder vs Whedon

On the field of the Self stand a Knight, and a dragon. You are the knight. Resistance is the dragon.-Steven Pressfield"Do the Work" I’ve hit the block that I usually hit with my blogs. Its happened with every blog I’ve started over the years. I have a bunch of ideas, I write, and then after … Continue reading Vs “The Dragon”

Celebrities, Stalkers, and Social Media

I follow a bunch of celebrities on social media. Probably not as many as a lot of people though, because I have a special rule for which celebrities I follow: Who would be cool to sit down and have a beer with? Of course this is highly subjective, not everyone would like to hang out … Continue reading Celebrities, Stalkers, and Social Media

Joe Rogan & Cancel Culture

I saw a news article the other day about Joe Rogan and some controversy over things he and a comedian friend said on a podcast years ago, and I rolled my eyes. I figured it was online backlash about something stupid he tweeted, on the lines of James Gunn’s and (more recently) Hartley Sawyer’s, that … Continue reading Joe Rogan & Cancel Culture

On the Importance of Music

Music is important to me. REALLY important to me. I’m not sure I could live without it. My musical tastes vary quite a bit. My iTunes has everything from classical, to heavy metal. I’ve got 80’s pop music, and modern hip-hop; Techno, and a smattering of country. I collect it everywhere, and it isn’t always … Continue reading On the Importance of Music

Overthinking it: Everett Ross in Black Panther

I love Marvel movies. We own them all. In preparation for the release of Avengers: Endgame last year, my wife and I watched 11 Marvel movies, back to back. I've watched all the movies multiple times, and I tend to notice things that only hardcore fans notice; and I tend to (over) think of things … Continue reading Overthinking it: Everett Ross in Black Panther
