"I don't like the word master ... macerate." -- Cindy, at Catal

Somebody to Love

I was going to attend "Day of Days" today at Universal CityWalk, but needed to run an errand in the morning, so I wasn't able to do so.  Instead, I saw "Bohemian Rhapsody" in Dolby while it was still available in that format.

  • Nice instrumentation of the Fox Fanfare!  I was all smiles while it played.
  • I didn't know that Freddie Mercury was a designer until today.  Well, that explains the outfits.
  • Rami Malek's portrayal of Mercury was incredible.  Loved it.
  • I tried to figure out who was playing Deacon for the entire movie, because I recognized his face.  Then I saw his name in the credits and realized it was because I know his face as a child.  Joseph Mazzello of "Jurassic Park", you are all grown up now!
  • The scene with Mike Myers was great.  I loved the reference to kids not wanting to sit in their cars, banging their heads to "Bohemian Rhapsody".  Dude, that's WAYNE saying that!  Party on, Wayne.
  • Oh, Mary, I feel your pain.  I cried through that whole scene, probably because it hit too close to home.  
  • I cried a lot during this film. The first time was when the audience was singing "Love of My Life".  I'm glad the band talked about how that felt, because I have always wondered what it must feel like to hear thousands of people singing your song back to you.  I've always been amazed by anyone that can write an original song.  That is the height of creativity to me.
  • I absolutely enjoyed the making of "Bohemian Rhapsody", especially the editing with the rooster crowing.
  • "Who even is Galileo?"
  • "It's America.  They're prudes in public and perverts in private."
  • "You look like an angry lizard."
  • "I am the lead singer, not the leader of the band."
I'm glad I saw the movie in Dolby.  The drum beats made my chair shake.  I really enjoyed the film and will probably see it a lot when it gets aired on TV.  Now I need to get some Queen CDs.  How is it that I don't have any yet?!?!

Still Scary After 40 Years

My friends and I decided to see "Halloween".  I wanted to see it in the daytime because I don't like walking out of a scary movie into darkness.  I brought Gloomy Bear to have something to squeeze when I got scared.  I learned this technique from Cindy, whom brought her tauntaun.  Linda brought Frankenweenie to keep within the holiday theme.

Our Protectors


  • Dude, I don't know why people feel the need to antagonize serial killers.  Because they don't have enough reason to just up and kill you?
  • Just because someone is paranoid doesn't mean that nobody is chasing after them.  I mean, did Karen not think that everything actually happened?  I'm glad she got her training, though.
  • Why did he feel the need to drop all of the teeth in front of her in the bathroom?  I mean, were they a gift?  Eeewww.
  • I think that it would be perfectly reasonable in Haddonfield to cancel Hallowe'en if their serial killer was on the loose again.  
  • "No. He was not her brother, that's something that people made up."
  • "Send Dave first!"
  • So doctors just carry scalpels with them everywhere?  Even psychiatrists?  Hmmm...Maybe it's for protection during the therapy sessions.
  • Michael is still alive, you know. They didn't shoot him to death, lop off his head, stake him through the heart, AND burn him.  So he ain't dead.
...and now I'm wondering if I'll be able to sleep soundly tonight.

Man And Symbiote Combined

Last night, I finally got a chance to see "Venom" while it is still in theaters.

  • I like seeing Tom Hardy do humor.  I also like knowing that it's him before the ending credits roll.
  • I really enjoyed the scene in the restaurant.  "That's dead."
  • I don't think any kind of lawyer should give their laptop password to anyone else.  There is too much confidential material they use for their jobs.  So what I'm saying is that it's her fault that he saw the files.
  • "I'm really sorry about your friends."
  • Wouldn't the LIFE foundation have a ton of security cameras around?  How do they not know that it was Eddie who had the symbiote?
  • "Mask!" "Copy!"
  • So, when Venom eats a person, does Eddie taste that?  Because yuck.
  • "Outstanding! Now, let’s bite off all their heads and pile them up in the corner."
That was fun.  I don't know who Woody Harrelson is playing in that credits scene, but he reminds me of The Simpsons' Sideshow Bob.  I'm looking forward to "Into the Spider-verse" even more than I already was due to that sneak peek!
