Oh yeah. Those were the days.

Now, you can have a Megatron that is programmable (on an app on your smartphone) and self-transformable between robot and main battle tank mode, and can talk.

All for the low, low price of some $900.

But at least you won’t be mistaken for carrying a real weapon.

I think it has to be Miller. It was a great character and Thomas Jane really sold the part. I also really enjoyed Bobbie’s arc.
He certainly MADE that roll, but for me, i'd have to say either Amos OR Drummer.  Bobbie  comes in a close 3rd for me.


As for tonight's viewing pleasure, i just watched Gran Torismo.  LOVED IT...

Welp… a little over a month later, I’ve finished with the final season of The Expanse. My only regret is that I didn’t find the show sooner. I’m clearly going to have to track down the books to take care of the dangling plots, but it sounds like most fans of the series suggest starting from the first books

You can just jump from the show to book 7, they worked pretty hard to get the changes and plotlines original to the show to a point where there's minimal disruption.  Like, you should read all the books because they're great but you don't have to.

Out of the Roci’s crew, Amos was definitely my favorite. I really enjoyed the additional layers he received as the show developed. Drummer was also high on my list. Her rise and fall and rise and fall and rise was incredibly satisfying to watch.

I think I’m going to start from the beginning just to make sure I have everything covered. I’m the world’s absolute slowest reader, though, so it’s going to take me a bit until I get back to where the show ends, lol.

Watching Hellboy, 2019; it's well composed, and made, but, the script is side-quest after flash-back etc.

Edit: Some of the fight-scenes of monsters reminds me of White Wolf's games.

Watched Franklin on Apple+

Pretty good, some of the characters blend together, its kind of hard to tell which one does what.
I give it a 8 out of 10.

Finished the fourth and final season of Doom Patrol.

Honestly, I’m grudgingly impressed with how they made it simultaneously uplifting and immensely depressing at the same time.

Now, I'm midway though, watching Midway (2020). It doesn't appear to be too historically-accurate, and I'm glad my step-grandfather won't see it; he'll have a few things to say about it!

Way more accurate than Pearl Harbor.

Surrogates; so I grabbed it because Bruce Willis looked old in it, so I thought it was a recent-release; it turns out it's from 2009 and, I vaguely remember watching it in 2010, the last time I had cable or a TV-set.

read the comic surrogates its much more deeper than the movie....its hard to find now
always thought that it was a warning about how net lets us insulate to a point of actually having fear of another human being or fear of embarrasment
you sure cannot out run death...but sure as hell you can make that bastard work for it!

I felt like it and Looper were both movies with interesting ideas that rather squandered them by going with fairly generic plots.

I liked it for the action, but plotwise, i found Gamers more of a warning about tech than surrogates..

Shogun miniseries (2024) I watched the Richard Chamberlain version a few years back, so the storyline was familiar. This new version has some differences, like moving away from Blackthorne as the main POV, and adding in more of the subtle palace intrigue that was very important to the story. All in all I did like it, though it had some moments that I felt dragged a little. Rating 8/10

ok call me boring...but since i sleep little and rarely repeat watch anything...i descided to re watch mini series from 1967
the prisoner...
i find i still enjoy one episode the most hammer into anvil
not for action but for psychological warfare and possibly the best episode written for the show not to mention the performances were top notch and ahead of their time and i still judge movies and shows by the bar that episode set
