2018 Movie #41: Murder on the Orient Express
I watched this classic on a whim. I was in the mood for something older (which happens sometimes -- I love old movies!), and this was streaming on Amazon. I grew up watching Hercules Poirot on PBS with my parents. There is a definite soft spot in my heart for that odd...
Day 1,703: Late Again!
Once again, it's late as I write this! And, again, it was because I watched a movie. This time, the movie was the old Murder on the Orient Express, which is from all the way back in the early 70s. I have to admit, I'm not overall that much a fan of the 70s style of...
2018 Movie #40: Incredibles 2
Okay, so the first Incredibles is one of my all-time favorite Pixar movies. For real. I remember watching that movie in theaters and being absolutely blown away by how fun and exciting and funny and just awesome it was to have a world where superheroes existed in the...
Day 1,702: Quickie
I have to be quick tonight, because it's already 12:30 in the am, so here we go: I wrote just over 3,000 words today. It was actually a tough writing day, because I realized just how out of sync I feel again with my manuscript after having a rough week last week....
Day 1,701: USS Enterprise
Guys! GUYS!!! ...I've hit 1701 days of posting a blog every day, and that's the registry number of my first, favorite space ship...the USS Enterprise. How crazy is that??? I'm such neeerddddd 🤓 I had a *decent* day today. The writing was okay. I got one hour...
2018 Movie #39: Hannah Gladsby: Nanette
THE comedy special of 2018, at the very least from all of the talk there's been about it. To be completely honest, I'd never heard of Hannah Gladsby before Nanette dropped on Netflix. I'm not sure I would have watched it were it not for all the buzz. I had no idea...
Day 1,700: Two Books?
There's a new idea floating around in my head, and to be honest, I'm a bit scared of it... I'm looking at the 136,000 words that my novel is right now, and I'm thinking "jesus, I have enough words for two books," and a light bulb is going off in my head that maybe I...
Day 1,699: A lot
I have so many thoughts right now about my day today, things happening in the political sphere of my country, how nice these fresh sheets are on my bed, the movies (yes 'movies' plural) I watched today that I need to write reviews for, a like, six others, I'm so far...
2018 Movie #38: The Cloverfield Paradox
So, the original Cloverfield was fun enough. It was an interesting take on the disaster film, mashing it up with the found-footage genre. The second movie was also decently fun; John Goodman! Can this one hold up to those two *decent* films? Not quite. Some stuff to...
2018 Movie #37: 400 Days
It's got a cool poster. It has a fun premise. Seems like it could be one of those indie-sleeper-type mind-bendy scifi movies like Cube was back in the day, or Existenz, or even Moon. It isn't. Not by a loooong shot. THE BLURB: While in a simulator to study the long...
