The Briar Patch

 Damn you James Gunn! Damn you to hell! I wanted to sit and bitch about how you were killing the "hard" work DC had put into creating a shared universe. I wanted to say your Guardians series had gone downhill. Then I watched Guardians 3. If you take out the massive Avengers crossovers, it is a top 3 project probably. Top 5 for sure. I don't even know how many movies and shows they have churned out but this is among the best. So MAYBE you will make DC much better.... Anyways Guardians 3 watch it! IMO it is WAY better than the second and hell maybe better than the first that I still think was over rated. It has it all. A great plot, comedy, action and man does it hit the feels FFS. I am not a huge fan of some of the end, the new "team" meh but not sure if they will move forward with that or if it is more just giving characters a way to move on. Warlock should have had a much bigger role & I really thought the High Evolutionary would be a much bigger threat. I ...

So this entry is pop culture! It is the television I have been watching recently. I hate the fact that certain times of the year there is so much on I can't watch it all and others nothing to watch but re-runs...  Mayans sadly has been garbage this season. I think it is because they are just throwing a bunch of stories out hoping something will stick and trying to make us care about some of the background characters. Creeper did nothing until this season and now of course he brings in an undercover fed. Gilly was just a big who looked tough until we found out more about his ranger past. These are cool to know but it feels like we should have known this before. On the flip side did Hank to Taza have a story at all? Hank meets Alvarez one night and you think that would have been something, nah. Does any body even really care about Galindo or Emily. Emily has just been bouncing city to city on the greyhound and Galindo has been hiding, both brought nothing to the show. These PIs find ...

 It might be time for the Fear The Walking Dead AMC franchise to just die & not come back. The original was amazing back in the day. 2010 it was pretty ground breaking stuff. The fact was it had great source material and it was good! There were some slow seasons and some great ones. It was limping by until Negan showed up and saved it. I don't know if it is click bait but I see a ton of stuff people saying they quit watching after he came. Literally for me had he not come I would have been done. Even that got old and really it is probably good we are on the "last" season as it is slowly dying. (I "" last season because I think we all know it is building to joining titles and maybe movies into one SUPER walking dead thingy) The sad thing is I had so much hope for Fear and honestly it has never lived up..... I feel some of this is recycled from old blogs but lets talk Fear TWD. The original trailers had Nick running from zombies as a junkie. It looked amazing,...

 I wasn't starting a new blog post yet here we are.... This was going to be a tweet but it was way to long. AMC we need to have a chat..... First lets start with the Walking Dead Franchise. Fear just wrapped up another lackluster season. I am one of those goofs who watches a show until it ends. No matter how awful it gets like True Blood or Once Upon a Time. I may have to walk away from Fear though. Let me be SUPER honest here. Fear had an awesome concept and from the first trailer is looked like it would follow humanities downfall. THAT WOULD BE COOL. The original TWD was doing a good job of showing the world after but how interesting would it be to see what the world was like as it fell! Maybe it is my man crush but I thought Nick was the perfect character to tell this story. Hell the whole Clark family was perfect for this!! I get actors want to move on and in an apocalypse series people are going to die but does anyone even remember the Clarks? I guess this is my whole beef wit...

So what's good? I am constantly asking myself that. There are a million options now a days. Cable, which is going downhill, Disney Plus, Netflix and Prime are all the things we have. I could go on about a million shows I have watched over the years BUT I think I am going to say it has to have aired in the last 3. I also figure I need to keep it down two 1 or 2 per service or this will go on all day.  I have to start with Game of Thrones. I am not about to go deep into it because for 7 seasons it was the best show on T.V. Yes it had some slow moments and some gross moments but it might have been the best thing on T.V. I will go as far as to say ever. Then we had the final season, with no source material. Could we just redo it? I am not complaining because I didn't like it, that it wasn't an ending I wanted. I mean how often did that show do something fans didn't want. I rant because it really was awful. Arya killed the Night King. Sure that was awesome, but that's it...

I had such hope for Fear the Walking Dead. When it first came out I mistakenly thought it was going to show how the apocalypse started. The previews looked like it was going to show L.A and I hoped somehow it started all there. Well it didn't! We still have no idea how or why the zombies came. And to be honest the main show was getting a bit stale, so much hope rested on FTWD. (Negan did revitalize the main show for a bit but with that story over I also worry for the regular TWD) Fear flopped. That is a harsh judgement as they were only given 6 episodes to start. It is hard to write a decent season in six episodes but by the end of season 1 you know a few things Daniel is badass, Nick is the shows biggest hope and at this point Strand is mysterious and could be interesting. So came season two and I stayed watching. Season 2 starts again no hook. Alicia & Chris continue to be annoying, Strand shows he a rat and Daniel dies. They outsmart some pirates who originally outsmarted ...

So this is a fluff piece! The fact is I am starting 10 days off (Down to 8 now, started this 2 days ago!) and I really wanted to have a rough draft done for a kids story that a friend might do some drawings for. I hit the common stumbling block I often hit. I work on at least 3 stories in my head at a time. Then one over powers another and I want to focus on it. Well after thinking the kids story for weeks a different one has taken control. This week I NEED to focus on the kids story but cant, so hoping some fluff will put me in the right mind set to get back on that. So fluff time, then FOCUS! Firstly 10 days off! I have never had this much time off and not had something to do. Like last times we had weeks off we went to Disney. If only I could I would be on a plane there now! Before that we went to Victoria. Stay Cation it is, trying to find ways to not be bored. So I made a small list of shit to do. (Another update, list done.... 8 days to go) Some staining and painting around the...

So I think I am roughly 30000 above the Rocky Mountains right now. I need to write a fluff piece blog to get my brain in writing mood. I have been slacking on blogs or regular writing lately. On a flight to the happiest place on earth. Fuck I do NOT like turbulence. If you follow my twitter I have been counting down the days and the rides and it is finally here. The flight is behind cause of a de-icing delay. But West Jet has a sweet app were you can watch free movies or TV. We actually watched the Pilot of Lucifer before we took off. Good show by the way. Flight tips, get your pooping done before you board the plane. And download the West Jet App. Anyways, what’s new in the world? Well Trump is still an asshat. I mean that aint news but in the news he has said it is okay to grab women by the pussies. I don’t even think that happens in porn, unless it is some rough ass porn. And yet retards still support him! Like what the fuck were your parent’s brother and sister?? After all the...

So I have yet to win the lotto, gonna say that sucks. Still not rich and still have to go to work. Maybe it is western alienation but why are the lottos always won out east? On the flip side I cant wait till tomorrow as I  get better looking everyday! My littlest brother is moving to Edmonton next week. For his first year of University. Now I understand when people feel old. I remember the day he was born. Moving in with the ole lady and a friend. Let it be written record I don't think that is a great living arrangement. The whole third wheel thing never works. It was what I did when I moved here. When we moved apart there was some bitter feelings. But I do wish them BEST of luck and hope they end up better roomies than we were. I put that on my brother though to be a good roomie as it is more on the couple, they can make things awkward..... The biggest thing in my personal life recently is my poor puppy was sick. Canine Pancreatits. My buddy is a 1 year old blue Merle sheltie. S...
