well, i finally got to the the marvels. my brother rejoined gamefly for this movie & a few others.

it was a nice movie, but i could see where it had problems. at one point my brother noticed that carol's tank top went from white to black in one scene. ( spoilers ahead )

disney/marvel should've waited a few more years before doing more MCU stuff, or just the tv series, and certainly not something where you have to watch EVERYTHING to understand what is going on.

unfortunately this move didn't make back what money was put into it and comic book bros will blame that fact that it was a female-lead & woman directed movie instead of marvel fatigue.

synopsis of the movie:a popular high school student decides to take a day off from school with his girlfriend & his best friend and goes to extreme lengths to pull it off.

starring Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara & Jennifer Grey.



the video is little more than 45 minutes & the charity is CORE (Children of Restaurant Employees ).

synopsis of the movies; 9 companions set out on an epic journey to destroy the powerful one ring and save middle-earth from the dark lord sauron.

staring; elijah wood, viggo mortensen, sean astin, dominic monaghan, orlando bloom, billy boyd, ian mckellen, sean bean, john rhys-davies, liv tyler, Et al.


one of the few non '80s movies in this series the reunion video is 50 minutes (there are 3 movies after all) & the charity is no kid hungry.

unfortunately this is as close as we will get to an official reunion. the 20^th anniversary of the trilogy has come and gone without being officially acknowledged by the studio that made the movies.
the harry potter movies that got a reunion for their 20^th anniversary. but i guess it's because they had a bigger cultural impact. it got kids to read more books, and people still talk about their hogwarts house, wand, patronus & quidditch.

the link to the list is over here.
the ones i like. warnings and such are on each post.

romeo + juliet (magnetic)
#teamofsue (taskmasker uk)
here is goes again (moby dick; multiple sources)
the hunted (prey '22 movie)
the adventures of priscilla, dancing queen of the desert (priscilla, queen of the desert)
didn't come to play (women's 100m sprinting RPF)
girls just wanna have fun (willow tv seires)
at the moving picture ball (LotR RPF)

i really thought this would be the year where i didn't find anything i liked at least a little bit. half of these in the past few years are not anything i've heard of, most of the rest i don't care about.
i wonder how many things started off as qualifying for a "small" fandom for festivids are too big now? it been since 2010 that i've known about this, i don't know how long it was going on before that.

synopsis of the movie; a group of young misfits, called the goonies, in a small town discover an ancient map and set out on an adventure to find a legendary pirate's long-lost treasure.

starring sean astin, josh brolin, corey feldman, ke huy quan, and martha plimpton.

the reunion video is a little more than 26 minutes & the charity is the center for disaster philanthropy.

had a dream the other day set in the world/plot of spider-man: no way home.
( spoilers for the movie )

in separate dream news; my brother had a dream that there was a new version of the match game hosted by craig ferguson. the questions/prompts were delivered by a model train. at one point it derailed, which my brother took as a metaphor for the show going off the rails.
i would watch the hell out of this.

already canceled hbo max (15th is the last day) and spent the week watching the extended LotR movies. we've never seen them before & figured "why not?" since we had the streaming service & wanted stuff to fill out the time after the last of us series.
the extended movies were OK. the theatrical releases loose nothing by not having the extra material, in our humble opinions. now that we've seen them, we can go bake to watching the theatrical releases whenever the paramount network show them on a random weekend.

watching the movies kind of make me want to go around in early middle ages or viking garb, or a nice cloak. for a day anyway.
i always kind of wanted to go to a ren fair, maybe not dress up though. but a ren fair would be the place to do it. because they seem more relaxed about accuracy. supposedly there are people dressed like stargate teams that go to some because the last two seasons they went to planets that looked like medieval villages.

an SCA event does not seem like the kind of place to do it. i hear they get a lot of "garb police" who will hassle you if your shoes are not the exact ones someone of your social rank & location would have.
i mean they have 14th century french royals, mixing with 10th century farmers from brittan & renaissance merchants, with a few romans in togas sprinkled in for good measure. but people get hung up on if someone's hairstyle is not 100% accurate.
i suppose they ignore eyeglasses & visible body piercings. although, depending on the culture, piercings are common.
