I read an article about last night’s MTV Video Music Awards that lauded Lenny Kravitz performance of a three-song medley so I looked up the video on YouTube.

Seven years after the death by suicide of co-lead singer Chester Bennington, one of my favorite bands, Linkin Park, appears to be back together… for a longer haul.

I will never understand the mental process used by some artists when naming their songs.

Are you looking for a really enjoyable streaming TV series about royalty, drugs, mafia, and boxing? Look no further than Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen on Netflix, a spiritual spinoff of his film of the same name starring Matthew McConaughey.

With one day left in his summer vacation before starting back to school tomorrow, Nathan was none too humored by the ironic playing of Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out” on the radio while we drove to our dentist’s appointments.

This was Nate’s and my day today… FanExpo Chicago!

I’m not a fan of so-called “reality TV.” I just wanna get that out there. I don’t watch it unless it comes on after something I was previously watching and I either can’t or am too lazy to find the remote to change it.

Nate and I have continued down the horror movie route we started some months ago.

Oh. My. Gods. Star Wars: Outlaws looks like such an amazing game! I want to play it so badly!!

I started watching this new Apple TV+ series titled Sunny. I’d never heard of it before seeing it listed on the Home Screen just now. It stars Rashida Jones of Parks & Recreation as a wife and mother living in a near-future, yet oddly old-fashioned, Japan dealing with the aftermath of the “death” of her husband and son in a plane crash.

OLYMPICS!!!

That is all.

Vudu, the service that sells digital copies of TV and movies, gets it right on so many things.

Katie decided to kick me out of the house after dinner tonight to let me see Twisters since she and the SiL saw it last night. I did go out, but decided to check out A Quiet Place: Day One while it still had showings on the big screen.

Apparently at some point in the past, I signed up for Universal All-Access Rewards. It likely happened when registering for a free digital copy of a movie.

My favorite band, Japandroids, which has been on hiatus since around 2018, just announced their new album, Fate & Alcohol, will be released on October 18, 2024. They dropped the first single as well, “Chicago,” a title I wholly approve.

I swear that the three of us have gone to the theaters more often this year for Flashback Cinema presentations than new movies easily by a 3:1 ratio.

So this is happening.

A Funny or Die music video detailing how G.I. Joe and Cobra spend their downtime as sung by Dreadnoks?? How have I never seen this before??

We were looking into times to go see Despicable Me 4 tomorrow on the Flixster app and Katie noticed a pretty cool thing when you click through to the seating chart to see how many tickets have sold.

So I was taking a look for the first time at a graphic novel I picked up for $1 at my library. It was worked on by two brothers I really like named Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon as well as another great comic veteran in Becky Cloonan and I think just seeing their names on it was what sold me on picking it up blindly. And that it was only a dollar.

Katie and I were always fans of The Big Bang Theory. We watched it from start to finish and then on to the second finish (the additional two seasons that weren’t initially expected). It’s had its ups and downs but we really enjoyed it, generally speaking. And we even like to tune into the occasional rerun.

To be filed under “I’ve Really Got Nothing Better To Do” comes this gem of a fifty states breakdown of favorite “Dad Rock” bands.

Well I finished the third of my five book goal for this month today!

I am always 100% on board for new Alien lore. Not just any alien, but our big, black, acid-blooded, double-mouthed, elongated-skull xenomorph and her little face-hugging minions.

It was bad enough years ago when I started hearing music that I loved as a teenager playing in so-called “Classic Rock” radio stations. I could handle that despite it making me feel older.

You know the movie Blade Runner, right? Doesn’t matter if you’ve seen it, you have an idea what it’s about. If you have seen it, then you know it even better.

Last night, as I finally got around to watching The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, I realized I had watched two consecutive days of Henry Cavill films.

The first full trailer for Wicked is finally here and, dare I say, it looks wicked!

As noted in my April goals recap, I went to the gym to workout every weekday that month.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, stepmoms, mothers-in-law, guardians, and all the others I’m unintentionally leaving off the list. You’ll never understand how important you are to all of us.

Today, while building a Space LEGO set he just bought with some of his giftcards, Nathan announced that he wanted to watch a space movie.

As she promised, my wife kicked me out of the house to see Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Just me since neither she nor Nate have seen any of the original trilogy of films that came out from 2011-2017.

There actually is some value to commercials these days. Tonight, for example, I discovered the trailer to Apple TV+’s upcoming Dark Matter, the adaptation of Blake Crouch’s book of the same title that I read a couple years ago when I was going through a hard sci-fi phase in my reading.

A week or so ago, I re-upped Sirius/XM for Katie for Mother’s Day.

May the Fourth be with You!
