Have a great day.

  • Not much on Saturday. Sunday was a planned trip to the Sister-in-laws. It was going to be a roast dinner, then it was a BBQ, and finally downgraded to jacket potatoes and salad.

    Both my sons are autistic, one more than the other. He was initially excited about the big temporary swimming pool that was going to be there. Sadly, it was a different pool to last time and the water smelt funny and to top it off, his brother pushed him in, which was the final straw.

    I had to take him home to calm down and left my other son and wife to enjoy themselves. It was only a few hours and I had to come back and pick them up as my other son had enough.

    And there’s this saying, “Autism Rocks!” 😆











  • Lost in Space was one of the first DVDs I watched from start to finish including all the extras. I borrowed it from a friend as I had only one or two discs myself.

    Its very interesting as there was an entire subplot cut out involving time bubbles on the planet. What fascinated me the most was that Jim Henson’s Creature Workshop built a massive animatronic creature about 8 or 9ft tall. Remember that annoying CGI space monkey thing the girl has, it was that fully grown. And sadly, the entire sequence was cut from the film.




  • Having watched Genisys and Dark Fate recently, the franchise really needs a kick up the arse.

    I think the problem is the John Connor factor. We need stories that somehow involve terminators but not John. I know the first comics did that I think but can’t remember how.

    I do remember a brilliant part. As we know, nothing dead comes through time. So a Terminator stuffed a future laser pistol into the stomach of an unwitting human and used him as a time “suitcase”.




  • Despite having no knowledge of the source material, I loved Arcane season 1, so really looking forward to Season 2. I think I read there’s another Batman Ninja coming. The first one is beautiful and, excuse the pun, bat shit crazy! As a Terminator fan, really interested in the upcoming Netflix animated show. What else?? Sony and Netflix have a new Ghostbusters animated show in development, but I think that’s quite a way off yet. I see posts below of the animated Watchmen adaptation. I’m interested to see this, although I find DC usual straight to DVD content quite cheap looking. I love the live action Watchmen director’s cut (the one without the animated Black Sails segments) and I wonder if they’re sticking to the original squid ending?
