Well, we’re getting to the end of July. So far, this
summer’s been fine. Outside of painting a living room and wondering about eye
pressures, things have been good. Right now, I’m just chillin’, yo’. Before I
head off to work, it’s time for some Random Thoughts.
“The thrill is gone/I’m burnt out/So…Much…Stuff!/Etc.”
Well, this had to happen eventually. For a while, I haven’t
been feeling like writing here. I’m not sure what it is. It’s not like I’m out
of things to talk about. I just recently posted that Planet of the Apes ranking.
I guess I just need a break more these days since I kind of felt like this last
year as well. There’s also the fact that is just so much to see and do out
there. I wonder what changed… oh yeah. There’s
a certain cool redhead named Liz to consider. At least my time away from here
is going toward the good stuff in life.
Another Mass Effect Playthrough… Oh Yeah!
Recently, I’ve been playing through the Mass Effect Trilogy
again. I think I’ve almost made it into a yearly thing. Even though I’ve done
this dance before, I still find it to be compelling and interesting. This time,
I’m Genevieve Shepard… that’s right. I refused to use any relatives' or current/former loves' names. FemShep’s been in the house and it has
been… nuts. I had to change it up not only with the gender but with big
decisions. I also upped the difficulty to hardcore. I unfortunately finished
Mass Effect 2 without two of my favorite companions. It was quite a sad
experience and one I don’t need to relive. Zaeed died too but I didn’t shed any
tears for that dull dude.
Movies
I haven’t been to the movies in a minute. The last one I saw
in theatres was Life of the Party with Liz. I haven’t even gone to see Ant-Man
and the Wasp… and I think I’m going to keep up with that for now. I’m more
interested in the new Mission Impossible movie and another movie called Sorry
to Bother You. Still, I got an opinion on a few I’ve seen recently:
- Avengers: Infinity War – Oh yeah, I was supposed to talk about this one! I’ll get more detailed when it comes out soon, but I have to say that it was pretty good. I had a couple of issues here and there, but I was glued from beginning to end. Thanos is definitely a villain that won’t be upstaged anytime soon.
- Solo: A Star Wars Story – I was worried about this one being a waste of time. Luckily, this one was good. I’m not going to call it one of the best SW movies, but it kept me entertained from beginning to end. I might have to do a look at the SW movies we’ve gotten so far because I may have some things to say about them.
- Life of the Party – I ended up seeing this one with Liz on Memorial Day. It was a comedy about a middle-aged lady going back to get her bachelor’s in… archeology? I guess I remembered more about this one than I thought. It was okay. I’m not the biggest fan of Melissa McCarthy, but she does make me laugh. She did that here, so mission accomplished.
- Heat – Yeah, I hadn’t seen this Michael Mann classic from the 90’s until a few months ago. It popped up on Netflix and I was interested. I remember someone saying this was an inspiration for The Dark Knight and I saw that here. While it was a long one (almost 3 hours), it kept my attention all the way through. The acting from the big guys was good, the story was interesting, and the action was sweet.
- Calibre – I saw this on Netflix with my sister and dad one weekend. It’s about hunting trip in Scotland gone completely wrong. I actually thought this was a suspenseful ride. I didn’t know what was coming and thought the acting was quite nice. It’s one that’ll make you wonder what you’d do in the protagonists’ shoes. Let’s just say I wouldn’t have gone hunting back there in the first place.
……………………………………..
Well, that’s all I got for now. Next, I may do something
involving the Dark Knight. I’m not even sure what it’ll be, but it’ll probably
involve a bunch of villains… and holidays. I might even throw in a crazy cult
or something. For now, Peace, God Bless, and be careful out there.
