DINOSAUR PRISON

I watched this movie at predawn today, Easter ๐Ÿ‡ Sunday ๐Ÿฃ, March 31st, 2024, while in bed ๐Ÿ›️, via my cellphone's TUBI Streaming App. 


Scene Commentaries:

Why would they wear makeup just to break into a lab facility? I guess that if you can't afford to use Camouflage Face Paint ( CFP ), Maybelline Mascara will have to do! ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

Safety precautions would suggest that an alarm ๐Ÿšจ of some sort be activated before opening a huge carnivorous dinosaur's enclosure!  ๐Ÿ˜’

That's quite a long 11-minute intro for such a short movie. ⏳ Enough with the foreplay and get to the quickie!  ๐Ÿ˜œ

What, no guard dogs?  What about CCTVs and motion detectors?๐Ÿคฆ‍♂️

In a cold, long hallway in the dead of night, echoes will travel further. But no guard heard them arguing with each other Loudly. WTF?!?!?! 

Big animals usually mean Big Poo-poos ❗๐Ÿ’ฉ❗๐Ÿ’ฉ❗They should have smelled ๐Ÿคข something strangely different about the place! 

"The whole site is built to keep anyone getting in or out." Ah, hello ...? Your light is on ๐Ÿ’ก but no one's home.  ๐Ÿ˜

Protocols shmotocols. Stop standing around and get going already! Hmmp, women ....  ๐Ÿ™„

So, be quiet! ๐Ÿคซ I'm trying to watch a movie here!  ๐Ÿ˜ 

Top ๐ŸŽฉ hat, bowtie guy, aren't you being too formal to run that joint? And shouldn't your guards be escorting you and your unwanted guests? ๐Ÿคจ

"Even in death there's no escape." Good one! ๐Ÿ‘

What do you mean there are no other copies? Don't you have a fax/copy/scanner machine? Every lab these days is equipped with such a thing, you know, Doc. ๐Ÿ˜’

If you walk with a cane, it might be a good idea to grab hold of the handrail as you walk down the stairs. Just saying .... ๐Ÿ˜‰

These Jurassic monsters must be the type of dinosaurs that the makers of this movie are trying to pitch as "genetically enhanced dinosaur"  variations to the Jurassic Park franchise. But the Big Guy ( no, not the DECREPIT Occupier of the White House ) and the 4 Raptors are pretty much ripped straight out of a Jurassic Park movie scene.  ๐Ÿง

Dinosaurs, even the genetically engineered ones, would still have prehistoric, primitive brains that are only wired for self-preservation!

Beau, the fire breather, is Le BBQ Chef of the Dinosaur World! He likes his meals well-done!! That makes him millions of years way ahead of the other dinosaurs!!!๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘

You know, since you're being chased by the Big Guy, it might be a good idea to turn off your flashlight!  ๐Ÿ”ฆ But, then again, the Big Guy could just as easily SNIFF you out in the dark❗๐Ÿคช❗

'See what happens if you don't close the door behind you❓ Didn't your mommy teach you that? ๐Ÿ˜•

They want to free all of the CARNIVOROUS Dinosaurs to roam around anywhere they please. That's ... kind ... of ... irresponsible ... really.  ๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ‘Ž

And Beau & Big Guy will go on a barbecuing rampage across the USA. They can start with Kansas or Texas, the BBQ Capitals, for all I care!  ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚

This movie sure laid a Big Egg! ๐Ÿฅš And just in time for Easter, too! ๐Ÿ˜ But, by the time that I will have posted this, it will already have been too late to keep your Brats away from the possible danger of going on an Easter Egg Hunt today. ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜

Tidbit:

I decided to have an Easter lunch at Selecta Pilipino Buffet Restaurant today. I wanted to see what they have planned for today's menu.  ๐Ÿคค

Clockwise from top left is HAM,
Salmon, Letson, and
Beef Steak.
The noodle bowl is
Pansit Palabok. 

The soup is called, Papaitan. It's made
with Small Intestines and the
Mesentery. The small
saucer plate has 3 kinds of desserts.
The 1 on the upper left is Puto, the
one on the upper right is
Sapin-Sapin. And the
one at the bottom
is Kutsinta w/
shredded Coconut.

๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ‘


The Puto can be eaten by itself. Or it can be used to eat with Dinuguan, i.e. Pig's Blood Stew, instead of Rice. Incidentally, Puto is made from Rice.  

I topped everything off with a Banana & slices
of Pineapple and Orange. And this small
bowl of Butter Pecan Ice Cream.
I haven't had ice cream in years since my
T-2 Diabetes diagnosis. It's just for 
today. I don't think that I'll be
able to eat anything else
for the rest of
the day! 
I'm so stuffed right now❗๐Ÿคญ❗
I could only eat half of the
ice cream and half of
each of the native
dessert pastries.

TANGO SHALOM

I watched this very early in the morning today, Saturday, March 30th, 2024, in bed ๐Ÿ›️ via my cellphone's ๐Ÿคณ TUBI Streaming App. 


Scene Commentaries:

I am quite surprised that someone actually came up with this Very Interesting Idea for a Dramedy Movie! ๐Ÿ˜€

My Persian Jew classmate ( who I mentioned in my blog on THE PERSIAN VERSION ) had a Mezuzah nailed to her apartment doorframe. That was the first time that I've ever seen one in real life. I wanted to get one to attach to my mom's house's front door but she would never have understood what it was for.  ๐Ÿ˜ Later on, I thought about getting one for my condo unit's front door but I don't know if it's a good idea to have one in my neighborhood.  ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

"Fernando Caliente, the hot Hasidic bullfighter!" ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚

The old-fashioned grandma at the dining table was melodramatically funny.

Okay, this is probably just for laughs. But I'm not sure ๐Ÿค” that businesses have doctors on the spot to do physical exams on potential new hires. But the Hernia Test requirement scene is very funny! ๐Ÿคฃ

As an aside, in the Old Testament of The Bible, whenever someone placed his right hand under another man's thigh to swear an oath that affects the future generations of both men, the man making the solemn oath actually had to cup the testicles of the other man that he was making a promise to! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I'm okay with just shaking hands, though. After all, some guys out there grab other men's hands Very Bone-Crushingly HARD---And I Don't Want Any Man Grabbing My Testicles In Such A Way❗๐Ÿ˜–❗

The 1st scene at the dance studio was charming! ๐Ÿ‘Œ

And I can't believe that the dance teacher actually chose Hava Nagila! ๐Ÿ˜ I think that I might have already mentioned this song years ago. I'm not too sure, though. But it's worth mentioning again! This song was played repeatedly on the radio ๐Ÿ“ป back in June of 1967, in my town of Kidapawan, Cotabato, Mindanao, Philippines after the end of the Six Day War, much to the chagrin of the native moslems. But it was played mostly for a devilish ๐Ÿ˜ˆ reason, as I pointed it out to my Persian Jew classmate when I spent time with her at her apartment studying for our upcoming exam. You see, media censorship was strict back then. But this song was an easy way for the DJs to get around the censorship issue. Imagine me as a puzzled little boy running around and asking others why the radio was playing a nasty song over & over! ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚  But all that was needed was for the listener to know how to speak in Tagalog & in Bisaya. Because the Hebrew words in the song actually almost sound like Pilipino words. To prove my point, I sang it to my Persian Jew classmate in what Pilipinos think that it sounds like and, finally, in how it translates to in English.

Here is what it sounds like to a Pilipino who speaks Tagalog and Bisaya:

Haba nang dila, haba nang dila, haba nang dila ne Mila. Haba nang dila niya, haba nang dila niya, haba nang dila ne Mila. Ooh ... malaki'ng bilat ne Mila, malaki'ng bilat ne Mila, malaki'ng bilat ne Mila, malaki'ng bilat ne Mila. Malaki! Malaki'ng ... bilat ne Mila .... 

And this is what it translates to in English, my apologies in advance:  ๐Ÿ™

Her tongue's very long, her tongue's very long, Mila's tongue is so very long. Her tongue is very long, her tongue is very long, Mila's tongue is so very long. Ooh ... Mila's got a big vagina, Mila's got a big vagina, Mila's got a big vagina, Mila's got a big vagina. It is big! It is big ... Mila's vagina ....

My classmate doubled-over laughing! ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿคฃ

I didn't know that Hasidic men go to bed with a Kippah on their head. This is a new one on me! ๐Ÿ˜

The Rabbi, the Priest, the Imam and the Granthi give Moshe their own religious advice. But the balloon ๐ŸŽˆfrom the Granthi who has such mysterious eyes was a very imaginative solution that really, really made me interested in this movie even more!

The curious pedestrians ๐Ÿšธ gathering outside of the dance studio to witness the strange spectacle ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐ŸŽˆ๐Ÿ•บwas very amusing to see!  ๐Ÿ˜„

To a Hasidic Jew, breaking a female stranger's balloon ๐ŸŽˆ barrier seems as bad as breaking a female stranger's hymen--heaven forbid❗๐Ÿ˜ฒ❗

Cyberspace fame's consequences: "Look, Moshe! Are my eyes ๐Ÿ‘€ crossing yet?" ๐Ÿ˜ Oy ๐Ÿ˜ Vey ๐Ÿ˜

If you see furniture stores closing and opening under another new name, they're really not going out of business. What they do is have people buy furniture on credit and once they have enough customers buying on credit, they turn around and sell the furniture business because they can get their initial investment back in the business PLUS the extra profit that the credit ๐Ÿ’ณ card buying customers financially represent to the "new" owners!  ๐Ÿค‘

You know, now that they made headlines, she could just establish a GoFundMe account for her daughter and get more money! ๐Ÿ’ฐ And Moshe can keep the prize money to share with his brother!! A Win-Win situation ๐Ÿ‘Œ❗๐Ÿ˜Ž❗๐Ÿ‘

Tango, the dance that brings together a religiously diverse community! Ahh ... such a "Feel Good" movie.  ๐Ÿ‘Œ☺️๐Ÿ‘

Here, go ahead. Have a banana! ๐ŸŒ
 

Shh ....  ๐Ÿคซ Here's how Hasidic Jews really party behind closed doors: ๐Ÿ˜‰


๐Ÿ‘‰ https://youtu.be/EGmXAu8geVg?si=73ZZSb4GY46aNrA0


I don't know why this funny movie wasn't shown on the Big Screen. ๐Ÿ˜• I would have gladly paid money to go and see it on such a screen! ๐Ÿฅค๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿฟ

The Granthi character actor should be cast in some really scary movie franchise! He'd fit right in!! I'd be scared to find myself alone with him in a dimly lit room and be forced to stare ๐Ÿ˜ณ into his eyes The Whole Time ❗๐Ÿ˜ฌ❗

FYI: If you're curious as to why I mostly stay up until the early morning hours, it is because of my diagnosed Heart Disease condition. Statistically speaking, most Heart Attack deaths happen between the early morning hours between 3 & 6. I make sure to hydrate and stay awake until around 5 a.m. before I take a 5-hour sleep. ๐Ÿ˜ด But I also sleep ๐Ÿ˜ช early in the evening to wake up around midnight. So that I can stay awake for the next 4 hours. ๐Ÿฅฑ

OPERATION: KICK-ASS

I started watching this movie during the witching hour of predawn Friday, March 29th, 2024, in bed ๐Ÿ›️ via my cellphone's ๐Ÿคณ TUBI Streaming App. 




Scene Commentaries:

A victim of sex slavery is rescued and recruited into a secret agency to go on deadly missions. But is it really such a good idea to send on a mission someone who is mentally unstable and gets easily triggered by traumatic flashbacks? Don't they have to undergo Psychological Evaluations first?  ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

This movie is in Chinese with no subtitles. But it has scenes which involve interactions with English speaking foreigners. It is only then that the Chinese speakers speak in English! Ya gotta do wat ya gotta do to save on Production Costs; even doing away with subtitles!  ๐Ÿค‘  Which is good, I guess ....  ๐Ÿ˜’

I mean, have you seen many cheap Chinese made movies with English subtitles? A good majority of them have stupid interpretations that are gosh-awfully funny to try and read through! ๐Ÿ˜‚  It's as if they have a talent scout wait patiently at the airport for any Chinese passenger from the USA or the UK to off-board and ask them if they are now conversationally competent in the English language. If the Chinese passenger says, Yes, he/she is immediately hired on the spot to write the English subtitles to the movie project that is currently in production! ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ 

The wirework in the fight scenes is too obvious! Fire the new guy SFX wirework team.  ๐Ÿ‘Ž

The way that the female assassins load their guns with just a flick of the wrist and with such an over-the-top precision & timing is awesome & sexy to watch! ๐Ÿคฏ

Charlie's Angels ... OR ... Chinese Angels?  ๐Ÿค” Your choice❗๐Ÿ˜œ❗

The shoot-out in the warehouse had a bad guy with the drop on her as she stepped out of the room. She had to turn to her left to see the bad guy already standing there before she dispatched him. Why couldn't he have shot at her first?  ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

The code is to enable one to hack Internet Access Profiles. But they already do quite a lot of that in China! ๐Ÿคฆ‍♂️ Their military loves to hack & spy on people, businesses and foreign militaries as other nations do, too! So, why doesn't the Bad Guy haggle down the asking price?  ๐Ÿ˜•

At least a half dozen automatic rifles ( plus a shotgun ) were shooting at the fleeing duo but neither one gets hit!  ๐Ÿคฆ‍♂️

Why did Merrill Lynch ( her alias ๐Ÿ˜ ), the computer tech, block the SUV? Her dumb move only managed to activate a Facial Recognition device which just easily identified her as an anti-DarkWeb agent ( something that she should have known & anticipated ) in a poorly written Agent Profile!  ๐Ÿ˜’ Why didn't they hire me, Cine-Man, to write the background profile on her, instead? ๐Ÿ™„ They wouldn't even have had to go and pick me up at the airport because I could've easily done the job remotely!  ๐Ÿ˜Ž  Social distancing and all that. ๐Ÿ˜ท Just P M me on this blogsite ....  ๐Ÿ˜„

"BPCALL, Highway Club." A strip club for truckers? ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜‚

Nothing else pisses off a Chinese stripper than to be called to Pole Dance when she's not even done slurping ๐Ÿ˜‹ up her Ramen ๐Ÿœ Noodles!

What the hell are "African horse monkeys"?  ๐Ÿคท‍♂️ I did a google search on it and came up with nothing! 

If you want to be considered as a female secret service agent, you must first strip down to your skivvies--and they've better be white & tight!  ๐Ÿ˜œ

You girls show me your legs, I'll show you mine❗๐Ÿ˜œ❗

Chicago Demons is a basketball athletic program for Grades 1 through 12 in Chicago, Illinois.

Their secret headquarters has the acronym of QWS and a chart that says "Base Map" on it. So, why is no one speaking in English? I submitted the notice for "Captions Aren't Working" 3X already. But TUBI hasn't fixed it yet!  ๐Ÿ˜•

At 32 minutes into the movie, I finally saw an English subtitle at the bottom. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ And quite by accident, too! It was barely peeking out. On a hunch, at a minute later, I put the screen back to its original size instead of in the Full Screen mode. And there they were, The English Subtitles❗๐Ÿคฆ‍♂️❗Well, at least this movie is only 1 hour & 9 minutes long. So, I won't mind seeing the 1st half of this movie all over again!  ๐Ÿ™‚  It will be over before I know it. ( I did rewatch the 1st half so that I could write down more funny comments. ๐Ÿคช )

The TUBI Tech Guy must have wondered, "How Stupidly CLUELESS is this Idiot to not notice the subtitles at the bottom of the screen after I already unlocked the function for him?  ๐Ÿ™„  He'd better not submit a 4th "Captions Aren't Working" notice or I swear ...."  ๐Ÿคฌ  

"Third time's a charm."  ๐Ÿ™ƒ

There should have been more blood spilled in the rooftop Knife-Fighting scene.  I'd better not get "moderated" for this ....  ๐Ÿ˜’

"Pension" seems to be the Taboo word in this line of work ....  ๐Ÿคซ

I was right about the English subtitles. They read like someone who was fresh off the plane, with an intermediate grasp of written English, wrote ✍️ them! ๐Ÿคฃ  Or just blame it on the Script Girl; as I believe that they don't have a scriptwriters' union! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I don't think 10 seconds will be enough for her ( after all, the hostage did touch her once before even though she doesn't like strange men touching her ) to slowly and deliberately walk up the stairs, kneel before you and then proceed to lick your toes! ๐Ÿฆถ ๐Ÿ˜› ( Athlete's Foot Fungus, anyone? ๐Ÿคข Blech! ๐Ÿคฎ ) Just shoot the hostage and be done with it already❗๐Ÿ˜‚❗So that you guys can all go home ๐Ÿ˜ƒ and, in my case, I can go to sleep ๐Ÿ˜ด.

The Good Guy vs Bad Guy fight scene at the end is pretty good! ๐Ÿ‘

Tidbits:

I wrote an e-mail to the Singapore Embassy last night. I would like their government to reinstate access to my blogsite for the benefit of my Singaporean readers.  ๐Ÿคž

-
And today, before having my lunch at Selecta Pilipino Buffet Restaurant here in Vallejo, CA, I swung by the Admiral Callaghan Lane Post Office to drop-off a letter to County of Solano, Health and Social Services Department for the renewal of my status.

I didn't know that I had to renew
every 6 months.
๐Ÿ˜•


After finishing my lunch at Selecta Pilipino Buffet Restaurant, I walked on over to the Dollar Tree Store to buy some more of the 40-watt Equivalent LED Light Bulbs. Why not, if it helps me to save lots of money on my Electric Bill?  ๐Ÿค‘

I bought two 2-packs for now.

GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE

I went to the Century 14 Vallejo on my way home from Regal Edwards Fairfield & I-Max to catch this movie. I had a choice between this 9:45 p.m. show and the 10:30 p.m. show. I chose the 9:45 show, instead. The price of admission was $6.50. I was too full to get something to eat and drink.

Auditorium 13, B-6
A few more people showed
up late for the show.


Scene Commentaries:

The comment about the spectre trying to escape from them as something that emerged from the Hell's Kitchen sewer trap got me laughing.  ๐Ÿ˜†

But the drone chasing after it flew across the path of the laser blast twice ( I think  ) but didn't get destroyed. ๐Ÿ˜’

The watch of her late husband is the same style as mine, only in a gold color. I have noticed this type of watch lately in a number of movies.

"Hammer gets the views!"  ๐Ÿ˜

And how the guests standing in the queue became apprehensive after they saw what happened to the watch got me laughing, too. ๐Ÿ˜…

The "Finger in the Dam" analogy sure was a bad omen.  ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

The new Paranormal Research Facility can only mean one thing: More is coming to the Big Screen! 

The Possessor Of Inanimate Objects is one entity that we will probably be seeing more of in the future.  ๐Ÿ˜

Why didn't the mother notice that her daughter was dressed-up in the Ghostbusters uniform even though she was supposedly grounded because of Child Labor Law?  ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

The daughter cut off about a foot ( 30.1 cm ) from near the base of the brass pole That Nobody Seems To Have Noticed!  ๐Ÿคฆ‍♂️

There's a Bonus Scene during the Ending Credits.

The poem by Robert Frost:

-

I took this shot before I entered the auditorium:

Auditorium 13 is the perfect venue
for a "scary" (?) movie!
Right?  ๐Ÿ‘ป

I had a co-worker about 13 years ago who came in dressed for Halloween in a short-shorts, sexy girl khaki Ghostbusters costume, complete with a mini proton backpack. I don't know where she got it from but, Gosh-Dang-It, She Looked Hot In It! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

P.S. As I didn't catch the last show, I didn't get around to asking a theatre staff member about their closing policy. But I did let the box office ticket seller know about my movie blogsite because I'm curious about the accuracy of my post on MIDNIGHT SCREENING. There were actually 7 different movies that were still playing as I left the cineplex about 10 minutes past midnight after my movie ended.

LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL

I saw this movie right after I saw the ONE LIFE movie. The price of admission was $5.50. I still had my flavored water to drink during this movie's runtime. I also had a 3.0 oz ( 85 g ) bag of Mariani Dried Apricots and 6 tablespoons of Dried Pumpkin Seeds for extra Fiber and for extra Magnesium & Potassium to counter the Sodium content of the popcorn that I ate in the earlier show.

I dropped my Digoxin tablet in the dark when it came time to take my dose and couldn't find it!  Ehh ....  ๐Ÿ˜•

Auditorium 2, C-9
The same as in
the last one.

Scene Commentaries:

This movie mentions "The Grove," a clear reference to the Bohemian Grove here in Northern California! It is a private club for the World's very Rich, Famous & Powerful Men. That's its Raison D'รชtre. It's not a secret hide-out. But you do need an invitation to be let-in if you're not a member. Otherwise, you're trespassing on private property. No Women Are Allowed. And a judge upheld this club's policy on membership and hiring practices! It's just a club!! There's nothing conspiratorial about it!!! Here are 5 screenshots on this subject:

This movie's period piece is quite accurate, I must say. ๐Ÿ‘ And the Jack Delroy character even mimics some of the late Johnny Carson's mannerisms. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Starting at around that time, psychics became a common media staple to appease the audience's desire for the Fringey Subjects. Most famous among them was the controversial, late Sylvia Browne who wasn't a psychic per se, but someone who was simply good at "Cold Reading," or GUESSING, If You Will! Even going so far as claiming that ๐Ÿ‘‰Amcat๐Ÿ‘ˆ cold calls are from the Dearly Departed❗๐Ÿ˜ก❗( Amcat is a robo-dialer that telemarketers use to hustle potential victims that sometimes have no one on the Transmitting End because the scammer is still busy duping another person; Hence, a "Ghost Call" ๐Ÿ‘ป ❗❗❗ )

Psychics such as her are termed 2nd Predators❗
They prey on the distraught families of the
victims, for ill-gained publicity
and monetary gains! 

-

"Who you gonna call?"

I bought one of Sylvia's audiobooks. It meanders throughout just to give it more "context" even though its core message is on how she starts each day with her own particular "prayer." Is it worth the money that I paid for it? No, simply not at all!

Here's the gist of her daily prayer:

Today, and for the rest of the day,

surround me with the Pure White

Light of your Spirit. And let this

Pure White Light be covered with 

spiritual mirrors that reflect all the

Bad Things and Negativity away

from me yet allow into me only 

the Good Things in Life at the

same time. Such as ... etc.

Amen

That's it! And I had to listen to a bunch of CDs before it got to the point. What a waste of

๐Ÿ’ณ $99.00!  ๐Ÿ˜  ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ

This movie's Live Show on ๐Ÿ˜ˆdemonic possession๐Ÿ‘ฟ is just the probable, eventual outcome of entertaining viewers with fringe subjects simply for the sake of TV ratings! It's daring and imaginative, I must admit!! I have to salute this movie on it!!! But will it happen in real life? Only time can tell ....  ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

P.S. I cannot say anything else about this movie because the Ending Scenes all lead to the same conclusion. And I don't want to spoil it for anyone of you. It's a good horror movie, though. ๐Ÿ‘ But it's not filmed here in the USA---THAT Is The Spoiler Alert❗

ONE LIFE

I went to see this today, March 26th, 2023, a $5.50 All Day Tuesday, at the Regal Edwards Fairfield & I-Max. The price of admission was $5.50. And I also bought a big tub of popcorn for $5.40. And I had a shaker container of spicy popcorn seasoning blend that I made myself. I had my iced bottle of 20 oz ( 591 ml ) Aquafina Water. I also had a stick of Zero Sugar PK Hydrate Citrus to flavor my water with. Plus, I had a Pure Protein Chewy Chocolate Chip protein bar to have as my lunch. 

Auditorium 2, C-9

Scene Commentaries:

This movie, based on a true story, is another attempt by Whollyweird to twist the narrative to promote yet another False Equivalency during this Presidential Election Year❗ Much like how CABRINI is about likening the plight of Lawful Italian immigrants to that of the ILLEGAL Aliens, this movie calls the ๐Ÿ‘‰unaccompanied๐Ÿ‘ˆ ( they had to throw-in this word on purpose ๐Ÿ™„ ) Jewish children in 1938 Czechoslovakia as "refugees of war" when there wasn't yet a war even after the Munich Agreement was formalized! The Jewish children were legally/lawfully expatriated as child foster care selections in anticipation of a war against Nazi Germany; at that point, they were not yet considered war refugees.


On the other hand, the DACAs ( Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ) ... 

and other ILLEGALS who claim refugee status Have No Legal Basis For Such Since What They Experienced In There Own Countries Are Civil Strifes which are mostly due to 1.) Gang Wars and 2.) Rampant Crimes and 3.) Political Corruption, and even 4.) Poverty❗ NONE OF THESE 4 QUALIFIES ANY PERSON TO CLAIM Refugee Status here in the USA ❗๐Ÿ˜ก❗๐Ÿคฌ❗We already have all 4 of these problems here in the USA and don't need anymore of SUCH❗๐Ÿ˜ ❗Do you hear any of us US Citizens claim "refugee status" because of such problems in our society❓

But this movie is crafted to PULL at the HEARTSTRINGS of Clueless Liberal voters so that their own politicians can welcome in more ILLEGALS and fast-track their "citizenships" in order that they can vote come November! Mind you, these ILLEGALS from South of the Border are mostly poor and illiterate who need ๐Ÿ‘‰translators๐Ÿ‘ˆ ( read: Left-Leaning Socialist/Communist/Globalist agenda-driven INTERPRETERS ) in order to be able to "vote"! If You Are A Newly Landed ALIEN ๐Ÿ‘ฝ To Our Way Of Life And You Don't Even Know How To Speak, Read, Write & Comprehend In English, YOU HAVE NO DAMN BUSINESS VOTING IN OUR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Because You Are Just A Handy Political Tool❗ This, EGREGIOUSLY, Is Election Cheating At The Utmost Level, Which Is The Only Way That DEMON-crats Can Win An Election❗๐Ÿ˜ก ❗ Do You Now ๐Ÿ‘‰SEE๐Ÿ‘ˆWhy The DEMON-cratic ACTIVISTS Claim That English Is Not The National Language Of The United States Of America❓๐Ÿคท‍♂️❓ IT ... IS ... ALL ... JUST ... FOR ... ILLEGAL ... VOTES ❗๐Ÿ˜ ❗๐Ÿ˜ก❗

At the end of this movie is the informative reminder that there are currently over 117 million war refugees in the world. But, Of Course, I Am Not Honestly Aware Of Any ๐Ÿ‘‰INTERNATIONAL WAR๐Ÿ‘ˆ That Is Happening Right Now In mexico, central america and south america❗My question is, again, why does a considerable number of these people who invade our country through the Southern Border claim "refugee status" ❓Why don't they just emulate us and have their own version of "war for independence"❓ And since we are actively being "soft"-invaded by nations HOSTILE to our own country, shouldn't we be the ones to rightly claim War Refugee Status❓๐Ÿคท‍♂️❓

Note: The 24-Hour Le Cine-Man's Race results will be included in the next post.

MIDNIGHT SCREENING

I watched this during the witching hour of Tuesday, March 26th, 2024, in bed ๐Ÿ›️ via my cellphone's TUBI Streaming App. 


Scene Commentaries:

There is a movie poster displayed in the lobby of the movie ARTEMIS FOWL; which premiered on June 12th of 2020. Is it safe to assume that this horror movie from 2021 was made sometime in the summer of 2020?

At the beginning of this movie, it shows this theatre:

There is only one theatre with a similar
name. It's in El Paso, Texas. So I
guess THAT is the theatre
used for this movie.

I was wrong! Here it is:
Mitchell Starlight Cinema 8
It is in Los Lunas,
New Mexico


I take my movie tickets ๐ŸŽŸ️๐ŸŽซ home with me as references. I never threw them on the floor at any movie house. There are trash receptacles for such. ๐Ÿšฎ

Likewise, I clean up after myself. I don't leave anything behind at my assigned seat. It's just disrespectful and inconsiderate to the theatre staff to leave garbage all around and force them to clean up after me. Some might say that it's part of their job to clean-up after others. I just don't think that way! The staff appreciates that I do what I do. 

And whenever there's something going on in an auditorium that I don't like, I usually go to the staff and/or the security to come and handle the situation. 

One of my managers from many years ago would hire a lot of beautiful females. But that was before #d.i.e. reared its fugly head! ๐Ÿ‘Ž

Finally, I learn why back in the day a film would burn and the movie would stop until the projectionist gets it fixed! 

That kind of 3-D glasses are way obsolete. They were already long gone by the time that this movie was made.

It took about 30 minutes for the 1st employee to get killed.

And speaking of employees, for an 8-screen theatre, there should be more than 4 in there along with the manager since showtimes almost always end within a span of 30 minutes. And all auditoriums need to be cleaned and thoroughly checked. Here in Vallejo, CA, a security guard makes the rounds after the employees have done their job of checking each auditorium and restroom ๐Ÿšป. And there is also another security guard that checks the parking ๐Ÿ…ฟ️  lot. And the registers need to be checked and balanced, a bookkeeper or the staff supervisor is in charge of that. And there should be no popcorn left in the popcorn machine! I repeat, No Popcorn Left In The Popcorn Machine ❗

The two male staff members sure are inconsiderately messy! 

How did the killer know about THE ONE particular job application? The killer had to have left the theatre to drop his date off AND return to the theatre. At which point, the doors would have already been closed and any movie patron would have to have the manager's permission to be let in if the excuse is something to do with leaving some personal stuff behind. And the patron would be accompanied in and out of the auditorium and followed back to the front door. Such a policy was enforced when a mass shooter opened fire at movie-goers during a midnight screening of a Batman movie in Colorado.

๐Ÿ‘‰  https://www.cbsnews.com/news/questions-remain-over-mass-shooting-at-batman-screening-in-colo/

Shouldn't there have been a big blood stain in that room?  ๐ŸŽฅ

The movie theatres near me all have janitors who come in after midnight to do the final clean-up.

I miss Midnight Screenings.  ๐Ÿ™  They don't do that anymore except in college towns on Friday nights.

This movie, although gimmicky enough to catch my interest, didn't really deliver ....  ๐Ÿ˜•

I'll have to ask some theatre staff tonight about their Closing Policy and whether or not the staff have midnight screenings of any new movie coming up. ๐ŸŽค

TREASURE HUNTERS

I saw this movie early this morning, Monday, March 25th, 2024, while in bed ๐Ÿ›️ via my cellphone's TUBI Streaming App.

Scene Commentaries:

Didn't I just mention something about a crowbar in my last post? Okay, it is getting so spooky watching these movies during the Witching Hour of predawn that link ๐Ÿ”— to each other!  ๐Ÿ‘น

Here's a heads-up. If you're a Westerner in the Philippines, your secrets won't be secret for long because there are a lot of Tsismis women ( Gossip Mongers ) loitering around.

Also, street vendors in the Philippines sell their items using the 2-Tier system: Cheap prices for locals and Expensive prices for Foreigners, especially the white ones. ๐Ÿ˜ Ya gotta haggle down the prices!  ๐Ÿค‘

In real life, if Pinoy kids see "whitey" out on the street, they will come & surround you begging for money because they believe that all white tourists are rich! ๐Ÿ’ต  Don't give them money because they are likely hustlers for abusive parents or "guardians" who want the kids to earn them money for drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and for gambling! Treat them to some food, instead. Lord knows how long they've been without water and some decent food. And most of them have never even eaten at a fancy western style fast-food joint! But always ask ahead before you arrive at your destination for any travel tips from the local authorities! 

How could they wear a shirt and an undershirt in that humid ๐Ÿฅต heat! When I went back to the Philippines in '82 to '83, I was sweating 24/7 for at least 3 weeks before I became acclimated---And I was born there and lived there 'til my early teens❗

Those soldiers don't look Japanese at all! And their hair weren't cut Japanese military style!! And there should have been more of them to guard the perimeter as they buried the gold!!!

Politicians and guns DO go hand-in-hand in the Philippines! Political assassinations are common down there.

If you're gonna go around digging for Gold, you'll need body armors, helmets, weapons and lots of ammo--and that's not even all of it! 

That sure was a short ride on the Jeepney. They could just have walked the distance instead of having to fend off some drunk guys in the Jeepney.

Jeepneys were originally surplus Jeeps
from WW2, the Korean War and
the Vietnam War.
My family's first vehicle was a 1-Star
General's Jeep from the
Korean War. 

-

I'd love to get a Philippine style sidecar someday:

There are actually much better looking ones
than this! They're mostly in the 125cc to
250cc range. Of course, you can get
a higher displacement engine if
you can afford it. And which
is a good idea because
these Trikes all get
really abused
by overloading them to
earn more money! ๐Ÿ’ฐ
-

Why didn't anyone tell that prima-donna that an electric fan, or 2, is better than having a fan boy at your beck & call?  ๐Ÿคท‍♂️ Better yet, buy an air conditioner. If you can afford such a house and have your own fan boy and your own cellphone retriever boy, you can afford to buy an air conditioner! And why don't you just keep your cellphone with you at all times? ๐Ÿคฆ‍♂️

₱300.00 is equal to approximately $5.50! A Pinay girl got herself cheated by a white foreigner for a change. Woo Hoo!  ๐Ÿ˜‚

Why would you go around in the jungle wearing your expensive jewelry? If you get yourself robbed in the jungle, it's because you were asking for it! ๐Ÿ˜’

The women were the ones digging the ground while the men just gathered around. There's one word that describes this odd social behavior: ๐Ÿ‘‰DOWNBLOUSE๐Ÿ‘ˆ ❗๐Ÿ˜œ❗And am I the only one who noticed the dozens of downblouse ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ‘€ scenes in this movie?!?!?! BUSTED❗๐Ÿคฃ❗๐Ÿคฃ❗

That doesn't look like a venomous snake! Neither does it look indigenous. ๐Ÿ˜• And that's also not the Philippine Reticulated Python. ๐Ÿ˜• I'm thinking that it's just some stock footage of a snake species that I'm not aware of.  ๐Ÿค”  But I'm guessing that it's some kind of a constrictor snake--I could be wrong .... 

๐Ÿ‘‰ https://youtu.be/NH0Vcv0DpnQ?si=pcT_ZnCNFnzOmtAb

"If I had a dollar for every time someone said that to me, I'd be in Fortune 500." 500 in Philippine Pesos, you must mean. In which case,

That ain't much of a "fortune" at
all, if you ask me.  ๐Ÿ’ธ

you only robbed 8 others at gunpoint before you completed this one ❗๐Ÿคช❗

Ya can't pick-up a brick of Gold and put it in your backpack ๐ŸŽ’ that EASILY!

-

Well, if it's any consolation, the spider ๐Ÿ•ท️ is actually native to the Philippines! I've seen a lot of them when I went exploring around a part of the forest in Kidapawan, Cotabato, Mindanao, Philippines, as a kid along with a friend or two. 

And, No, ya can't go swimming in the sea with that Gold-laden backpack either❗๐Ÿคฆ‍♂️❗

The boy said, "Lola, Lola!" The subtitle said, "Mother, mother!" Lola is the Pilipino word for Grandmother ❗๐Ÿคจ❗Duh ....  ๐Ÿฅด

The Mexican-looking senator sweats a lot. He must be a new guy citizen!  ๐Ÿ˜ ( The Philippines and Mexico have a centuries-long shared history through the Spaniards. Correction, he's from Argentina.  ๐Ÿง  )

Did the senator even have to tell his thugs twice to chase after the American women? ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

The movie poster is so Very MISLEADING ❗๐Ÿ‘Ž❗

Why didn't they hire my services as Cine-Man, the Consummate Perfectionist? If there's gonna be a part 2 to explain the movie poster about some white girl going native in the jungle of the Philippines, they should call ๐Ÿค™ me. I sure could use a Philippine vacation right about now ....  ☺️
