CoLA

I've been to Arizona to visit relatives and it was awful in the summer. I think it was hotter at night than the daytime, it was like the heat just emanated off the pavement! Dry heat, my butt! Doesn't matter if it's like 100+. It's finally cooled off here, only in the 70s and not humid finally.

That one is on my list! I have a bunch of 80s movies queued up, amazing how many I have heard of but never seen. I just got crap from some older co-workers that I haven't even seen the old Friday the 13 movies. I think I only saw the Freddy vs Jason movie and the outer space one. Was deciding on a few at the moment, thinking of the OG F13, Rocky and Dead Heat. Might do Krull instead, now I have to add Excalibur because that looks good, too! I'll take all recommendations, no matter how bad!

Dragonslayer! This movie was old but is amazeballs! I really enjoyed that it seems like a typical fantasy movie but subverts a lot of what you might expect from one. Like the princess offering herself up after she discovers her name wasn't included in the lottery and that the hero doesn't save her in time. The boy who is revealed to be a girl in disguise to avoid the lottery. Also, it was nice that instead of other villagers being pissed about finding that out that they were all like "Damn, that was smart of her dad". Plus, the wizard! The way he says at the beginning that he isn't worried about traveling so far but it's revealed he let himself be Obi-Waned so he could be brought back to help later. That was great! And then the king takes all the credit for the kill LOL. Effects weren't great for the dragon flying scenes but they were good for the fight in the cave and when it would rise up in front of someone. Highly recommended if you have never seen it!

And what's the deal with these mutant kids being super strong when they grow up? The Barbarian movie had the same thing. I think in real life they would have all kinds of health issues LOL.

Saw Cobweb the other day. It was okay, first half was better but once the reveal happened toward the end it became a by the numbers monster movie.

I'm waiting for streaming but I do want to see it despite not being a Barbie fan.

Added to the list! So Miracle Mile...it wasn't bad! It's from 1988 but it feels like something that came out around 1982 to me. About a guy who randomly finds out from a phone call that nukes are about to start dropping and as more people find out, the city starts descending into chaos! So he spends the movie trying to save himself and a woman he just met. Overall I liked it but it's not a movie with a happy ending as they both end up in the La Brea tar pits after the helicopter they were in crashes.

Get a dashcam! I have one for my car just in case of situations like this. If you had one when this happened, you could have just showed the cops the video after to prove what happened right there.

So I've decided to check out some older movies that I've never seen but have heard of or at least seen a poster for. First up, Nightmares (1983)! Sooo...I like horror anthologies but this one was really bad. First one is just a woman goes out for cigarettes while a serial killer is on the loose and of course comes across him. But she didn't know as he was hiding in her back seat while she was driving! At least the gas station attendant was nice enough to shoot him for her. Also, she now no longer smokes LOL. Next story has Emilio Estevez as a kid obsessed with getting to the mythical level 13 of an arcade game, Bishop of Battle. He's so obsessed he breaks into the mall in the middle of the night to play it. Unfortunately for him, getting to level 13 means the game characters leave it and try to kill him for real. He blasts a bunch of them before getting away only to be caught in the garage by the Bishop himself! His friend, looking for him the next day, finds he is now stuck in the game to play it forever! Or until someone unplugs the game. Next is Lance Henrikson as a priest who has lost his faith! He leaves his parish with just his car, $100 and a can of holy tap water. This ends up being a good choice as the devil, driving a black pick up, runs him off the road and tries to kill him! Luckily, throwing a canister of holy water is enough to vaporize the truck. He ends up getting his faith back and heads back to the parish. Last we have the other woman from the first Alien movie as a wife with a jerk husband and a daughter in danger of being eaten by a giant rat living under their house. Major LOL at the "giant rat" effects, BTW. Anyway, the rat is terrorizing them since the dad set a trap that killed it's baby but fortunately all is cool after the dad gives the dead baby rat back to momma rat as it just up and leaves with it, presumably to now terrorize another house in the neighborhood. Hope they get the word out! Next up...Miracle Mile! I'll also take recommendations. No movie is too bad or cheesy for me!

AI art, AI videos, AI voices, these characters can keep looking the same forever! It'll be like comics where they never age.

I caught this on streaming this weekend. Really good movie, even if you're not familiar with D&D too much. I know some things, like the character classes and some of the creatures but none of this knowledge is needed to enjoy it. Highly recommended if you're just looking for a fun adventure movie!

Looks like a fun movie! But the people who didn't watch the Ms Marvel series will be wondering who she is.

Looks like it will be the best one yet! It even has Rocket's girlfriend Lylla from his miniseries in it! As a fan of that mini, I am happy.

Coming February!

What with Ezra Miller now having their third brush with the law in a single month. I mean, it's still over a year out but I think they should just end the movie with a new actor replacing them to avoid any future hassle.

And it's Natasha Liu Bordizzo! Never heard of her but she looks good for the part. https://deadline.com/2021/11/star-wars-ahsoka-natasha-liu-bordizzo-sabine-wren-disney-plus-rosario-dawson-1234877527/
