Wow movie from 2025 wrote on the blog I dont think that happens to often.
Havent wrote anything in a while so now its more or less start of the holidays have a bit of time do something different.
Just miss messing around on the blog and the structure , sometimes its like dont want to do Columbia playlist and take notes just wanna watch something you dont have to commit to..
Anyways thats just me. The film is better than i thought it might be so far.
Say the clichee thing, kinda reminds me of the Tom Cruise film Edge of Tomorrow in principle only, otherwise its a totally different story.
Some interesting clone space travel scenarios.
The ship is cool its moody, everything is like a hospital insanity sanitarium vibes.
Isnt this the dude from Twilight.. Cant even guess his name hahah gotta google it. Okay Robert Pattinson, ah he aint that bad. Can’t think of anything negative to say, I guess he just plays moody dudes cause he walks around the movie like he been lobotomized sometimes. Also plays the angle of multiple personalities within same close, I can see like the emo version and the more alpha stereotype. Movie aint too bad though, not sure how much replay value it has I think maybe the title of the movie and that winterized style hat draws in a bit of curiosity like wtf is this movie. Its like a humorous morbid. Oh yea another actor the guy thats like the ship commander, dont know his name but I think i have a favorable impression of whatever I seen him in lol, what a sentence.. Lol I remember when Twilight came out, i think I rented it at the blockbuster staying at the folks house, was fun getting a pile of movies so I was like why not. The sets are pretty good, its like a grungy poverty star wars. Ok Mark Ruffalo where have I seen him cant even think right now. Seen 54, Windtalkers. Neat he in a rendition of All the Kings men ’06 might have to try that one too, but would be hard to beat Broederick Crawford. Oh yeah hahah He’s Hulk duh. Haha thats so funny walked right into that one. Havent seen Marvel movie in a long time. Anyways he and his movie wife play some ideologue couple commander of the ship, he kinda controls the fate of the clone character(s)
Not much else to say. Its a dark comedy, I dunno some tragedy romance, but it could be interpreted in a few ways like a satire almost. And, of course the sci-fi elements. Okay those hates and goggle combo they look like AT-ST crew from star wars haha. Thats surprisingly accurate and funny. Minus the football helmet chinstrap. The rest of the cast is like some bad bitches, and everyone has their own little drama. Special effects, good got the 2 clone characters on screen often. Alien creatures, the tech . Um it turns kinda fantastical in the end but i mean this wild story has to conclude somehow. Even though the whole premise is infinite re-incarnation meat recycling lol. Man vs science, and ethics, environment, other man and aliens. Not chintzy on the alien scenes and watching them communicate is unusual. Yeah i guess if I had to choose a negative aspect, i think the first part of the movie is better, its more moody and monologues that and makes for a more disturbed mystery in the opening of the film.

The conclusion of the Col. Gerald R. Johnson book and more
Ok practicing some writing and real shit.
Its late at night at might house, cant sleep, got some burdens on the mind amongst other things. Cut the tension with a knife why dont you.
Dont care been on a mission lately The mission is learn about an ancestor. No one I knew but maybe friends of friends.
This one hits close to home cause, got got the one group of friends, enjoy Japanese culture, the I got the ww2 perspective of it, anyways, its 4:08 am im short tempered and Im going to finish this book. I knew last pages would be hard to drink. And by drink I mean drink. Im drinking one of my fave Japanese beers Orion. So at the moment it would seem like I am drinking a Japanese beer and i know the guy, I mean the Colonel about to die. I knew this beforehand, but you have to understand my Japanese friends fought on the Colonel side, on Dday even. So Its just a coincidence Id rather explain forefront. I feel guilt to drink this beer from the country that took away my book friend for the past few weeks, as i know he goes mia. However I love nintendo, I live my Japanese friends, I love this story I read about Col Gerard Johnson, felt like a friend and someone I admired. So heres to you tragic end I’ll play a little dinah shore drink a beer to you. Took the evidence picture and here we go
last part is so hard to read.
John R Brunning hit mew with a joke when I was supposed to be sad lol.
But I just keep thinking of my own family and I really got nothing to complain about when I think of Mr. Gerard, or Colonel Johnson I should say. I kinda feel like a wimp compared to him and thats being real. Theres nothing I done in my life thats on point or committed as this guy..
funny too Jerry the name of my comrade is the slang for the germans offensive racial slur so forgive me all offended, Its probably like a term like ‘cracker’ or something. Anyways sticks and stones break bones if you get hurt by words your a pussy, And I mean extenuating circumstances, every bully hopefully gets clapped. Im not worried about everyone feelings just since I chose this subject I intend to stay true, I think I’ll call him first name, he seems like a chill officer. Jerry or Gerard, whichever you prefer sir. Reading that letter to his wife after all that pretty tough.
Hasmburger story is the only thing lightening up the mood.
Jerry goes out to discipline them and they toss him in the ocean lol.
Instead of being mad he just ends up having fun too.
how he named his plane Jerry ay man Jerry made the best of it. Dude was 24 like cmon.
Boy that was a tough read near the end, not only I knew he was going to go mia but reading the personal letter was a tough one.
All I can aspire to be is as a good man like Jerry, that really was a roller coaster. I feel Like I got to live twice as much as he, but accomplished a tenth of a percentage as he. But to know that I knew someones relative that served under him is a warmth of heart. I feel it as a privilidge I got to read the book thx John R Bruning for the history lesson. I really say that book rocked my socks off, and dont have much else to say.
If Jerry was here right now, Id try to buy him a drink and ask him about his family and Eugene. But dont think I could ever fill the role of squadron or anything, thats some of the most hardcore shit I ever read.
The Son of Kong ’33

Little kong thats hilarious.
Little kong jumps in action, these scenes is the ticket price awesome, just uppercuts a bear, then get bamboozled himself. its like mma 1933 style.
The ol banana in the tailpipe and clobbered with a tree.
These are some wild scenes in the end, shoulda started the movie with this.
what was that hahahaha.
Thats a total flop picture abomination, but its not too bad ahahaha.
Hard to say was it better than the first, no but in some ways yes, its more b movie style lol.
Its just a rinse I bet the people wanted more more, so they gave it to him lol.
I’ll make sure to add this to my xmas movies.

Yeah glad I watched it, added some more lore.. some parts were brutal though but overall solid movie night. Enjoyed that. Had a couple chuckles, some good sets and scenes. Last scene was a bit hilarious but there she blows. Would watch again, will watch again..
Stooges references in popular culture.

___
Unrelated but Simpsons joke in the Sponge bob Season 2 Episode 17, Sponge bob gets american gladiatored off the sea needle and lands back first on a fire hydrant just like Homer and the big brother episode.
Crew 11
wow havent been here for a while. I mean to get to it but life things been taking over the priorities, and sometimes movie blog aint the priority, .
However watching the crew 11 arrival on the nasa youtube. Its a good time, listen to cjsw late night and watch the mission control.
That would be scary no doubt so its cool to watch the live streams and ceremonies as they present them, so far been enjoying the commentary and action shots.
I wish em the best and success in their experiments, i know the space station coming to the end of life cycle but always enjoyed learning about the astronaut activities.
I think if I had to choose top astronaut would be Chris Cassidy, Chris Hadfield, Bob and Doug, Jonny Kim, Christina Koch and Jessica Meir, Victor Glover, Gus Grissom, theres more but those are my favorite. Just hearing em talk and do mission stuff always fascinating. Gus Grissom had a bad one, watch the Right stuff 83 i think, good movie. poop in a bag and just get the wringer hardcore hahaha. Nah hopefully one day meet one of these people and shake their hand. Maybe capture ISS on my telescope something. godspeed crew 11 just awaiting the ceremony now. and the group photos and the remarks are always fun.
Japanese Business Men Night
Something I came up with my friends.
You role play as a Japanese Business Men from the 80’s.
The Latest hottest new video game came out, so youre home from work play that new nintendo game all night till morning and then lose your job cause playing video games all night.
need NES or SNES
a partner
Japanese beer
Play the desired game back, and forth between players till dawn.
Drink beers.
Rules are someone always playing Nintendo.
Take turns.
Then when its morning you say gee I lost my job because too drunk playing video games. Can’t come into work.
Dont actually lose your job, but set it up for the energy of all night gaming.
Sushi optional, recommended.
Beers; Orion, Sapporo
games played during Japanese Business Men Nights so far.
mario 3,
super mario world
FF3 snes
Shadowrun,
final fight 2
Arkanoid
This just a parody imagination of someone hooked on like ff2 staying up way too late back in the day to try and beat the game. And, what that would have been like nostalgia.Just to get to the next boss or beat the game sacrifice the job cause the game too addictive and want more. To the extreme for nintendo. I feel like the urge to keep playing is super powerful and try to wrap it in a nice experience.
Only recommend like once twice a year with a good friend.

March 2025
Short time for hobbies, doing well in my physics class so theres that.
Only one I seen recently that I thought to write down was ‘Evil under the sun’ ’82 was a good one Based of Agatha Christie and with character Hercule Poirot, it was a good movie, nice scenery character and story telling was above average for me. Couple good twists.
Played some Mario 3 recently, almost beat World 6. Gotta say after a while of playing its not that easy. I mean when you warmed up and prepared can beat it no problem.
Im talkin no warps and easy on the powerups.
Love the Ice Land theme too.
Also played some Double Dragon 2 Love that power move sound and the connect hit sound too.
Oh yea North By Northwest was good. ’59
Another one was Rock Hudson ‘Lover Come back.’ ’61 liked that
Ursula Le Guin The Left Hand of Darkness
Also like Piers Anthony the Incarnations of Immortality series, which inspired me to write science fiction, as well as his Diary of a Space Tyrant series.
Jerry Pournelle The Mote In God’s Eye
___
Watched a good one ‘Angels in the Outfield’ 1951 version.
Good movie little bit silly but I enjoy baseball and movie was entertaining to watch. Enjoyed the Ben Mankiewicz into. Paul Douglas was particular good. Again don’t see that type of character casting anymore. Its interesting he was in a TV movie ‘Born Yesterday 1956’ a little different than the 1950 version starring Broederick Crawford, thats kinda who he reminded me of.
Francis Carroll And the coquettes 1940 that was pretty cool from what I seen
___
Forgot to write about Broadway Melody ’29 and The Broadway Melody of 1936
Just watching these cause seen some on the TCM seemed interesting MGM films theyre pretty good if youre into that kind of stuff. I like it especially the tap dancing ahaha. Some of the other singing and dance numbers. ’36 was better. Anyways just first time watching these, Sometimes I miss parts here and there, homework and other things. Anyways wanted to write em down.
Just looking at the schedule now, theres MGM parade show, #24 so I guess theres a old show that just shows MGM clips like that. Oh nice its the MGM documentary from ’55 just interviews and clips. ok never heard of that till now. Still like Columbia but neat to check out some successes from other studios aswell. Oh Yea seen ‘Gino Corrado’ in the ’36 one. Recognized him from the stooges lol.
___

The Sea Hawk 1940
Pirate Party on Catalina Island 1935 thats a MGM one

Had another plan to make a list of all my favourite films from the beginning of film to present day.
Just a few films Ive been interested in lately Um
‘Sophies Choice’ ’82 Meryl Streep Peter Macnicol, Ghostbusters 2. Wasnt a fan of that actor growing up, as a adult I can say appreciate him way more.
Seemed like weird drama, was weird to see cause the guy from Ghostbusters 2.
‘It’s always fair weather’ ’55. Neat movie its a musical tap dancing and singing dancing. I like these kind of movies, post war. Gene Kelly. Sets are really good. Outdoor car scenes. Some comedy.
Probably could watch this one again.
___
Three daring daughters isnt that the opera singing from Micro phonies.. maybe not, apparently thats from Lucia Sextet.
___
HAd the chance to watch Mr. Deeds goes to town, I think that about covers most the Frank Capra Films. I like it, Like Jean Arthur. Havent seen much Gary Cooper. Doesnt ring a bell too much. Like this other guy Lionel Stander .. Lol guess he had some Issues with Columbia, got blacklisted. But I like him in this movie.
