Geek Mentality Fans Not Experts

Not since I talked about the first Dune in 2021 has there been a movie with this much sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere - wait sorry, wrong sci-fi franchise that has a thing called Spice. Herbert did it first!!

Tonight I close a chapter in the world of comic book movies. Is it a chapter that is fully closed for good? Probably, but will we ever see this actor and this character on a screen in a DC movie again? I think the chances are pretty good - even if the character is being played by someone new...And the actor is someone different.

It's not confusing if you follow this sort of stuff. Anyway, I think this is the end of the world that Zack Snyder put together - and now it's up to you James Gunn to kickstart my heart (wait that was in the other movie....)

Apparently, I love Patrick Wilson. Not only have I been a fan of all the Conjuring movies, but I also have now watched all of the Insidious films. I enjoy them all for what they are. These aren't high art, and some are better than others, but they know how to make a small horror movie with some fun jump scares. If they keep making them, I'll keep watching them....(unrelated, Go Celtics!)

Welcome back comic book nerds! I finally am catching up with all the Marvel movies and, while there have been varying levels of success of quality in some of the most recent batch, I can pleasantly say that this one was a home run for me. As much as I enjoyed this one, I hope I like James Gunn's next movie even more so....but today is not about that. Today - is mostly about Rocket. Rocket Raccoon.

For most of the last two decades, Marvel has ruled the box office. Things have cooled off a bit more recently, but they are still the kings of comic book movies. Me? I've always been more of a DC guy for two main reasons. Of of those reasons wears a red cape and the other one dresses as a bat. They're the reason I have a DC Comics Ultimate Ultra Super Duper Comic Subscription Plus.


And while Batman has had huge success on the screen, the rest of the DC world has hit more miss than somewhat hit - so when James Gunn was announced to take over DC Films, I was excited. A clean slate. A new beginning - except perhaps, for one character. One existing story that it would seems has a future in Gunn's vision. Today's movie is all about that character...

In June 2014, I accepted a mission. A mission that I made up for myself where I would watch a movie every single day and podcast (or back then, blog) about it. Part of that mission was so I could finally watch movie series that I keep hearing about but never got around to starting. This was one of those series - and I am so glad that I started watching them.


A few months back, I got my brother to start watching these movies and he had two thoughts. First, Tom Cruise is insane (in a good way, with the stunts he does). And second, these movies are awesome. He's right about both and I am thrilled to finally be seeing this latest one.
