Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 🍿
I saw this movie last night. Today I still overflow with superlatives and hyperbole. Sometimes a film moves the goal posts, skews the grading curve. Do you want to taste dreams? Surely this was somebody’s dream captured and distributed for consumption. 5/5
Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart the series finale movie that concludes The Venture Bros 📺
Just saw the trailer to the direct to video movie that concludes the animated show The Venture Bros. I pre-ordered the digital copy which comes out on July 21, 2023. GO TEAM VENTURE
Was listening to a podcast who was under the impression that people with airpods had some need to always listen to music. That is not why I frequently use them – sometimes I just have them in my ear to block out the noise of the world.
“He’s failed to complete The Winds of Winter.” - Logan Lucky, 2017. 🍿📚
Six years ago a film pointed out that George RR Martin was overdue on completing the next book in A Song of Fire and Ice. It goes without saying that the two books the inmates requested for their library remain incomplete.
Plotter Pop Up ✍️
I drove out to Westwood for the Plotter pop up at Flax Pen to Paper. And there were dogs! I wish I had longer to explore the line but right now I am convinced the mini size is what I want. Quite a step up from the spiral bound notebook in my pocket.
Lou Gehrig Day NYY @ LAD ⚾️
Today is a special day, where the Yankees (who suck) are celebrating Lou Gehrig Day at Dodger Stadium. This special day is dedicated to raising awareness about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
Singing in the Rain 🍿
Oceans Eleven used to be my go to background noise film. But recently it’s changed to Singing in the Rain. I think it might be a perfect film, even surpassing Paddington 2. Moses supposes his toes are roses…
Happy Pride Y’all 🏳️🌈
June is Pride Month, in case you didn’t know. Corporations will temporarily adopt rainbow logos, the LGBTQIA will parade down the street, and I will consume plenty of food coloring in special promotional items. 🌈💩
Garv Running for Senate ⚾️🐘🗳️
Dodger legend Steve Garvey is considering running for Senate to replace Dianne Feinstein. He would be running as a Republican and has the appropriate questionable credentials: no experience, infidelity, and a history of endorsing ineffective weight loss products.
Slow Horses 📺
I binged the end of this moist british MI5 drama. Well the first series. I see it took me so long that there’s already a second series. And that Oldman fellow, he’s quite decent. I imagine the second series will feature Jack Lowden running around some more…
Call Me Kat 📺
I didn’t realize it but I just finished watching the entire series of Call Me Kat. Three seasons, 53 episodes, a lot of fluff and some awkward parts but I enjoyed what they were doing. Enjoy Tahiti, Phil.
Dodgers apologize and invite Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to Pride Night
LA Times Apple News
I’ve wanted to say something about the confusing past week when the Dodgers lost the point of Pride and the support of the local pride organizations. Looks like they realize it was a mistake.
The Color Purple 🍿
The trailer for the film adaptation of the musical adaptation of the Alice Walker novel has been released and I am seeing stars. Perhaps it lacks robot cars fighting robot animals, but it’s now my most anticipated 2023 release.
May 9, 2023 HOU 3 @ LAA 1 ⚾️
There is a significant difference between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Going to Dodger Stadium you can tell the fans are passionate and loud about it. Going to Angel Stadium and the people are … quiet, maybe not paying attention to the game.
Teaser: A Haunting in Venice 🍿
I did not realize that a teaser trailer for the upcoming Branagh Poirot film A Haunting in Vegas was released. Michelle Yeoh is a … medium? September 15 in movie theaters…
Proper Good 🥣
I saw this company on Shark Tank called Proper Good hawking shelf stable easy to prepare soup. I was curious so I ordered from them. While I do enjoy the soup, the rest of the experience has been … not great. I assume it’s growing pains.
Phi 1 Lad 13 ⚾️
As I recall going into this series the Phillies and the Dodgers had similar records. But the scores make me think that maybe the Dodgers are better than they started the season. Star Wars night, Taco Tuesday, and a quality outing for Julio Urias.
Late night confession: Lamb
I was not a child when I found out that lamb was by definition a juvenile sheep. Somehow I assumed they were different species. No, they are either under one year old or at least have not grown permanent incisor teeth.
