Where were you even headed with that? 😍
By the way, the commander is a legend. The colonel is a dog. 🤣

Thunder again tonight. Even the commander gave up on trying to sleep out here. 🙂

+1, just so I'm not repeating what's already been said. 🙂

What a total waste of money. 🤦
After the credits rolled, I felt like someone had scooped my brain out, tossed it in a blender, and poured it back in. The beginning was actually intriguing—solid enough that I’d say the concept works—but by the end, everything just fell apart. It turned into this bizarre mess that leaves you staring at the screen wondering, "What the hell was that?"
A generous 2/10.

Rider is back in the saddle. 🙂
Where do I even start? Great story, sharp direction, and convincing acting. Throw in a soul-stirring soundtrack mixed with a dash of laid-back, subtle humor and a tiny pinch of political incorrectness, and you've got a really strong film. This isn't the Clint Eastwood of old (which makes sense, since he basically set the bar too high for everyone else), but he's still light years ahead of most directors working today.
7/10

^That little guy snagged an Oscar, then stripped it down. 😉
Lately, I haven't been watching much (barely made it through True Detective), mostly reading instead. It's that kind of season.
But over two nights, I sat through the two-part documentary Leaving Neverland. It’s controversial, just like the central figure at the heart of it all—Michael Jackson.
Hardly anyone would argue that MJ didn't give the world incredible music, but his artistic legacy creates a massive distortion when people try to perceive Jackson as a human being. The reality is that at some point, he clearly went through something that turned him into a monster—not just a predator, but a charismatic manipulator and a sociopath capable of enchanting even adults to serve his dark agenda.
The whole estate was basically a gingerbread house from Hansel and Gretel, designed so no child could resist him (and plenty of adults, too). You can feel that intense Stockholm syndrome throughout the doc. The parents wanted status, they got it, and they paid the ultimate price for it.
I once read an interesting take comparing Captain America and Iron Man: they are both personifications of America. The first is what she ought to be—an ideal of freedom, justice, and goodness—while the second embodies corporate interests, Machiavellianism, and arrogance (which we see far too often).
After watching Leaving Neverland, I'm convinced there's no better personification of America than Jackson. She offers entertainment and fame, she lives in a candy house, but despite the plastic facade used to maintain eternal youth, she is more decayed than a portrait of Dorian Gray, and her gift is nothing but devastation.

I’m more into massive crosses and Christ's sculptures, but fountains aren't half bad either. 👍

And you’d probably love getting baptized like that too. ☕

Back in January 2017, a man down in southern China stabbed 12 children to death simply because his life wasn't going the way he planned and he had some beef with a neighbor.
Fair enough. ☕
