Now Watching...


Recommended Posts

Just finished watching a movie called Bokeh.  (netflix) Not sure why I watched it it was really random.   Basicly everyone disappears from the earth except this one couple... and its BLEAK. They are on vacation in Iceland at the time, which has geo-thermal automated electricity so they are good on that for (i think) the whole movie but other things start not working.   Much better than the reviews I read though.  Just don't expect a rockin good time movie.  Its moderately paced and very unusual.  Almost reminds me of one of them bizarre WTF japanese movies with lots of staring and music and your like ... damn do I like this or not?  Vaugely reminded me of Lost in Translation with bill Murray only more bleak (and that movie is pretty bleak).

Godzilla raids again on Elrey.  Although the original title was Gigantis, the fire monster.  My understanding is that Toho Studios didn't think they could continue with Godzilla since he dies at the end of the first movie.  So they did this movie using the Godzilla suit.  However fans so loved the Godzilla character and since this monster was the Godzilla suit, they decided to go with the premise that Godzilla is a species of dinosaur, hence in later movies they discuss that subject and refer to the Godzillasaurus species as to why it keeps coming back.  Now I can't say this is 100% accurate.  I am basing this on things I have read plus references made in subsequent movies lending credence to this theory.

I keep meaning to give Godzilla another chance, its been since I was maybe 20 that I last watched any godzilla stuff.  But right now I'm working on getting over my peer-pressured out of Star Trek so I can get back into ST.

Currently have a book that explains the "future" that the new movies have not covered and explains why Spock and Nero end up in the PAST to fix... something.  Leaving behind all Spocks buddies from TOS in the process and how spock gets emotional about it but has to do it.  For spock, none of it really happened apparently (TOS/TNG) it only exists in his memory.  Although the "core" timeline apparently is still in effect.  Not sure who nero is exactly.  Have a game of thrones book to finish before I get to it.   (also have a graphic novel by harlan ellison that tells the version of City on the Edge of Forever he wanted to tell but it didn't get filmed. )

    • No, especially now that you told me to.   I've been done for a while anyway.  Also healthcare is a joke and I just refuse to play that game. This is my form of "quiet quitting."
    • I'm not a doctor but that sounds like a major gastrointestinal problem and is one of this things that basically everyone says to get checked out immediately.   I don't know where you live but I will drag you kicking and screaming to get it checked if you don't go soon. If you die on us, I will dig up your grave and kill you a second time. Take it seriously.
    • I'm sorry they suck so hard.  I'm also sorry to say that it's very likely because of how you look with all the tattoos, piercings, garb, and whatnot.  They probably thought you were there for drugs especially if there isn't anything obviously wrong (and if there was something obviously wrong like a lead pipe sticking out of your leg they might think you did that to yourself just to get drugs.) But admittedly they're a bit jaded because SO MANY people do go actually just trying to score drugs. My mother was in constant pain the last ten years of her life, and even more when the cancer showed up.  She said it was the worst pain of her life.   Pain management is a fucking joke that just isn't  and never has been funny, but they keep telling it anyway. They also can tend to be super judgy on top of the general distrust because it's a religious hospital network.  I think we're lucky they're not still trying to use leeches at this point.     You should have sued their asses.  At least it didn't diminish her quality of life longterm.   Doctors are arrogant assholes too and think that the patient doesn't know shit.  While I admit that not having seven years of medical training doesn't make us regular plebs as qualified, no one knows what's going on with the patients own body quite like the patient.  The patient (or guardian) should always be informed and involved with what their medical team is doing.   There needs to be some type of legal medical bracelet that basically says "this person has a guardian and if you do anything without their  consent they will sue the everloving shit out of you."     All that said, I should probably go see someone about this blood I'm shitting.  But I really don't want to deal with them that much (also the lack of medical insurance doesn't help either.) On the plus side if I do die then it's not my problem anymore so I don't have to worry about it!
