    Last night we watched Hayride to Hell and the new Salem’s Lot movie. The rest of the week was spent still trying to get thru Grimm.

    Watched Pink Floyd Pulse concert. Despicable me 4. Multiple episodes of Gilligan’s Island. Multiple episodes of Thundarr the Barbarian.

    Thunder had some next level writing for a cartoon.

    After Thundarr dispatches multiple enemies attacking a town… Townfolk ask.

    “What matter of man are you?”

    Thundarr answers

    “FREE!”

          Discovery is more about spectacle and fighting and violence and giving you a seizure with all the CGI effects. Just like the terrible Picard series. It’s not really Star Trek

            I’m actually enjoying a little more adventure. I’ve pretty much been watching them in order (almost, but I went Voyager > Enterprise, and did not watch DS9). I like that things aren’t just “problem of the week” and episodes are a big part of the overarching story. I don’t like how everything is so dramatic all the time (seems like a theme of modern-era shows, not just Star Trek), but I do love getting to see epic starship battles in a much more dramatic way than they’ve shown them in the past. I like the idea of the captain being like “x take out their engines, y find us an opening, z get ready to go to warp” - these are bridge officers, so they know how to do it, as long as they know what to do. I guess Voyager had some of that, but it seemed better executed on here.

            Also, I love the idea of a mycelium network going through space. It’s a cool idea and I like the departure from the simple warp drive cannon.

            It’s interesting because of the departures they took, especially with the technology looking as it does but being pre-TOS (or was it pre-TNG?) and the Klingons being completely bald instead of amazing curly locks, but it’s a refreshing take and I’m enjoying it.

                It’s not easily streamable anywhere we have, so we’ve been buying the dvds/bluerays and the DS9 one was either not available or cost too much. I’ll watch it eventually, my bff says it’s their favorite one.

                Ps in season 2 now and I’m glad to see the Klingons curly locks are back!

    Earlier this week I did 3 nights in a row where I watched a psychological horror film. I watched:

    • Longlegs - Creepiest role I’ve seen Nicolas Cage play
    • Midsommar - Absolute mindfuck that stuck with me
    • Us - Love Jordan Peele, so I found this one to be a lot of fun, even if the plot was a bit weird and not fully fleshed out (which might’ve been the point; Jordan Peele likes to leave some things vague)

    Longlegs was probably my favorite among the 3. I love dark pagan thrillers and stuff in the realm of Se7en.

    I’ve watched the first two episodes of Giri/Haji. While the story and most characters haven’t really click with me yet, it was a very pleasant surprise to see Kelly Macdonald in the second lead role. I loved her acting in Choke and Boardwalk Empire.

    My wife and I have been watching Columbo all week. It might be my wife’s favorite show. They have watched all of it multiple times.

    I rewatched Kingsman Secret Service earlier this week and holy crap I forgot just how good that film is. Brilliant pacing, great subversion of expectations and probably the most fun fight scenes of any film I’ve seen.
