THE RESONATOR: MISKATONIC U

I watched this very early today, Friday, February 8th, 2024, via my computer's 💻 TUBI Streaming App, in my living room chair. 🪑

Scene Commentaries:

The Resonator, which looks like a Tesla Coil with 4 tuning forks around it, spells disaster for a science nerd, and his friends, as he continues on with his late father's research project. Which draws entities and "activates" one's Pineal Gland. 

This is another movie with a female character named Mara. 🙄

"Is there an afterlife?" asks the female professor. I would have to answer with a definite Yes, based on my lifelong supernatural experiences.

"You don't see God!" says Crawford. YOU can ACTUALLY see 👀 God's physical manifestation Every DAY, if you train yourself to do so! The New Testament's Evangelic Gospel of John 20:29 offers a hint. Also, in the same Gospel's chapters 14:16-27; 15:1 & 16:7-15, such a Great News is shared with the Apostles and the Disciples of Adonai ( Lord ) Yeshua Ha'Mashiach! 

A certain telekinesis exercise which I learned in the summer of '75 holds the key❗I always thought of it as just a "parlor trick" designed to impress others and to inflate one's ego with. Until I realized, quite by accident, in 2002(?) that its Primary Intention is to establish a connection with Adonai Ruach Ha'Kodesh ( The Holy Spirit )! Upon realizing such a Spiritual Epiphany, I cried tears of Humility because of my overwhelming sense of Insignificant Worthlessness before the Holy Presence of Adonai Ruach, the Spirit of God❗❗So much so that I begged to be removed from His consideration; to this day, I still beg of Him to stop considering me and to just turn away from me and find someone else worthy of His Gift. Because Spiritual Power can be both a Blessing AND a Curse! It becomes a 👉Big Ego Trip👈 if you cannot control it! Which is why I stopped my daily telekinesis training exercise.

But last week I sensed that it is the key to the Secret Prayer mentioned in The New Testament Synoptic Gospel of Matthew 6:6❗❗❗ Because Yeshua Ha'Mashiach did teach His Apostles in secret once the crowd had gone away for the day ( Mark 4:34 ). I will have to test my hypothesis on this one. 🧐 And I don't know what I'll do if His Holy Presence manifests Itself again. But if I'm asked once more what I'd like the most in Life, Spiritual Knowledge & Wisdom is what it shall be. It's what I've always prayed for, anyway. 

Crawford orders everyone, "Don't move!" But even he moves! 🤦‍♂️ Duhh ....  🥴

"Your parents have any guns?" 😄 😄 😄

That fist-sized Heart sure left a long trail of Blood! 😒

Why couldn't he notice the nebulous glowing orb hovering above him? 😕

Why didn't they just go ahead and shoot the Resonator?  🤷‍♂️

The professors look like academic rejects of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! 🪄

The ending implies that there's a reset. But with Crawford now having possession of Foreknowledge! Doesn't that only mean that he will be able to manipulate the past to his own liking? 🤷‍♂️ 

Hey, if I have that kind of power, I'd go to the future to write down the following week's winning lottery numbers for the Super Lotto, Mega Millions and the Power Ball games; and even for the Fantasy 5 game!  😜

The pot is big this week. Especially

the Power and the Mega!

💵👌🤑👍💰

Tidbit:

I couldn't go see DUNE: PART TWO today because I'm still waiting ⌚ for an important business call. ☎️  Then, I have errands to take care of after I get the call.  😐 Yes, I actually had the time to watch the movie and to write this movie review as I waited all day long for a phone answer to my urgent text messages which just got partially resolved.  👎   I'll have to text message them again come Monday morning! 😶

LITTLE BOY, PG-13 ( 1 hr & 46 min )

-

I went to see this on Thursday, April 23rd, 2015, in Richmond, CA, at the CENTURY HILLTOP 16, for the 9:50 p.m. advance screening in auditorium 6, 4th row ( counting from the front ), 10th column ( counting from the left ). The price of admission was $11.25. And I bought a 16.9 oz Dasani Water for $3.85 at the concessions counter. The trip back to Vallejo cost me an additional $5.00 at the Carquinez Bridge Toll Plaza.

THE LITTLE BOY THAT COULD

Quickie Review: A little boy who looks up to his father will do anything to bring his father home from the war alive.

Believing himself to be in possession of a super telekinetic power awakened in him by his comic book superhero, the one and only Ben Eagle ( Ben Chaplin ), "little boy" Pepper Flynt Busbee ( Jakob Salvati ) becomes obsessed with the idea that he has the power to teleport his father ( Michael Rapaport ) back to their ( fictional ) hometown of O'hare, California, during World War II. Especially after he hears the church sermon on faith the size of a grain of mustard seed ( Matthew 17:20 ). But Father Oliver ( Tom Wilkinson ) reminds him that such a faith can only be had if one is unselfish and cares for others. So, the priest gives him a list of things taken from the Bible ( Matthew 25:35-36 ) that he must do in order to acquire a mustard seed-sized faith. As he checks-off each task on his list, he befriends the town's pariah, gains the respect of the class bully and wins the admiration of everyone in town.

Would you believe it if I told you that I was the only one in the auditorium for this particular show? Well, indeed, I was! But I liked this charming movie. I especially liked how two "little boys" were interwoven into a seamless fabric of the movie's plot. This is a well-crafted movie ideally suited for the whole family. Go see this movie with your little brats.

**************************************************

Driving to the theatre and back home made me worry that my car's "check engine" light might come on again. It didn't. The last time that it came on was over a month ago before and after my brother-in-law passed away. Will the engine light come back on again? I don't know. I don't want it to, whether the reason be that of a bad omen or whether it be simply that of a bad engine.
