MEGA TIME SQUAD

Here's another TUBI Covid Lockdown Movie from 2018 ( released internationally the following year ). This offering from New Zealand caught my interest with its "clever" twist on the Sci-Fi's Time Travel genre. I watched this on my futon 🛋️ today, Saturday, December 30th, 2023.

-

The secret stash of money in his crotch for safe-keeping--'not safe to handle! 🤣

Meet the parents .... 😒

"'Cause it's made in China, right?" 😁

Why were the car's hazard lights kept on? And who turned them off? 🤷‍♂️

At least this movie shows that a bullet does

ricochet! 👌

Doppelganger time,🚶‍♂️🏃‍♂️ Chinese version. 

The bad guys should have heard him yell, given the short time gap. 😕

Dye pack. 🧨 They sure didn't see that one

coming. 😲

"What's with the PeDo shoes?" 😂

"Piss Chuggers." I thought that this is an actual place in New Zealand. Asking for a friend here .... 🤭

Again with a ( squirting  ) dildo! 🤦‍♂️

" Well, definitely legal age ...." 😏

"Boy, you no steal my shit again! Wanker." 😄

"Shut the f()ck up! 'Can't sleep." 😂

Finally blind! 🦯👨‍🦯😎

Wait a minute. Wasn't he already completely blind? 🤷‍♂️

I thought that tipping was not expected in New Zealand except for an Exceptional Service rendered.  😕

"You're a bunch of f()cking idiots!" 🤣

I expected to see more reaction from Little Sister. 😕

There are a couple of loose things at the end. 🤨

TIDBITS:

If he only went back in time to get the winning numbers of the lotteries, then he wouldn't have been in such a mess to begin with. 🤑

Supposedly, you can grow your nuts bigger if you eat Kefir Yogurt because of its probiotic L. reuteri. It must be why I have been having it for lunch since November 1st. 😉  I'll let you all know this coming March 1st if it really turns ⚾ 🥎 into  🏀 ⚽❗🤪❗

They had installed fully automated public toilets in San Francisco over a decade ago. But the city got rid of them because there were always long lines outside of such public facilities since some people used them for "other" things ....  🚬 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 💉 I tried using one once but couldn't because of the long wait in line. 👎

I have my own very unique sci-fi idea that I would like to enter in a sci-fi short story writing contest. Because Whollyweird actually hires people who do nothing but read short stories for fresh ideas as potential movie plot summaries. In this way, whether or not I win, I retain copyright©️ on my work and no one can steal it from me, and would then have to accept MY TERMS❗Unlike what happened years ago when some asshole writer, who worked for Spielberg, went to a Student Film Festival and stole my improvised scene ❗😠❗😡❗🤬❗I mentioned it in a blog pre-covid PLANdemic. You can use my site's Search Engine to locate it using Steven's name.

The contest is held quarterly. I won't make it in time for the January 1st or April 1st deadlines. I'm aiming for either the July 1st or the October 1st deadline. In the meantime, I need to do some not so Common Core Math and figure out some Astronomy facts, and research some historical figures and such.

In closing, here's a case of Doppelganger phenomenon that will make your jaw drop:

MIGRATION

I went to see this movie yesterday, Tuesday, December 26th, 2023, at the Century 14 Vallejo, in Vallejo, CA. The price of admission was $9.25! I brought a Jenny Craig Peanut Butter Bar & some unsalted Peanuts to have for lunch as I watched this show. I also had a bottle of Dasani Water. 

After being egged-on by his family, an overly protective papa Mallard 🦆 throws caution to the wind and takes everyone on a spontaneous adventure to the South, way down south! 

PG, 1h & 31m

Auditorium 13, B6

-

This is a good movie to take your little brats to go see. There's a Minion featurette before this movie starts that the brats will also enjoy seeing!

My favorite scenes are the ones with the old Heron couple. 👍

And my favorite line is Chump's, "It's you with à L'Orange on top!"  😄

Since it's a kid's movie, I will go easy on the criticism, save for two. When the Sord went down the duck farm's bulkhead basement entrance, near the entrance are vines with green leaves on them. I don't know how they could be green if they're not getting any sunlight!  Also, what happened to the chef?  😕

TIDBITS:

I got up early to be at an automotive shop by 8:00 a.m. Because the "Service Engine Soon" light on my Saturn's dashboard came on since it had just passed the 60,000 miles ( 96,561 km ) distance travelled. But the shop took the Holidays off and won't reopen 'til January 3rd, 2024! I just went home to take a nap 😴 to make-up for not getting a good night's rest. 

Then, I took a walk 🚶‍♂️ around Lake Chabot. Interestingly enough, there are Actually 3 ( yes, THREE ) lakes here in Northern California with that name! And they're all within a distance of just 40 miles ( 64 km ) from each other❗😮 The other 2 are south of this one where I took a walk.

There are water birds here at the lake. Some of them migrated south for the Winter. But a bunch of them have called this lake "home." Damn Canadian invaders! Where are the US border Eagles 🦅 when we need them?

There are Canadian Geese here that are regular and there are those that are migratory. The migratory Canadian Geese come here by the dozens between late Summer and early Autumn. You can tell them apart from the "Green Card" holding Geese because the migratory Canadian Geese poop EVERYWHERE, especially on the foot paths ❗💩❗💩❗I have to be careful where I walk around here during this particular time of year so as not to step on Canadian Goose poop! 😠 And I have to stop reciting my 40-minute long prayer whenever I navigate this Poop Zone! Because it's sacrilegious to pray & look at poop at the same time---Despite what they say, there's no such thing as "Holy Shit" or "Ach Du Schiesse!" 😁

This is one of 10(?) resident Canadian Geese

with "Green Cards" who live here. It's about

to show me its green card. What makes

this goose distinctive is that its right

wing can't press flat against its

body; so, it has a good excuse

not to migrate further down

south. But I think that it has

violated its temporary

residency status!

It must love all of the socialist

"free stuff" that this sanctuary

city is giving it, courtesy of

US Citizen Taxpayers! 

There are Canadian Mallards & White Ducks here, too.

There are a few more in the surrounding

area. Most are migratory ones.

This Mallard was waddling up the boat ramp

and was just minding its own business. I

greeted it with a loud, Quack, quack.

But how was I supposed to know that it's a call

used only by FEMALE Mallards during the

Mating Season?!?!?! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

The Mallard 🦆 glared at me and yelled, "Get

away from me, you Human Pervert! Go

'Choke a Chicken!"' 😜

-

Here's where I was at on my Map App, dotted in blue:

The yellow stuff that you see on the lake's

surface is some kind of lake scum. I saw

the park employees scoop out this scum

just once in all of the years that I have

walked around here! It took two or

three dumpster trucks to remove

all of it. I don't know why all of

the scum only happens on

just half of the lake. But

it's the area where most

of the water birds hang

around in. The birds'

poop may be the

reason why.

And people are no longer allowed to swim

in the lake because of toxic algal bloom

build-up because the city cares more

for ILLEGALS than it does for the lake

that needs to be aerated and dredged

so as to prevent such a build-up from

taking place! As far back as in the '70s,

historical photos show people swimming in

the lake. But by the mid-80s swimming was

starting to get banned! 🚫 In the early 2000s,

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, across the lake,

stopped doing their water shows because of

Lake Chabot's water toxicity! We have the

city's wrong prioritization to thank for it! 🤬

-

There are also Crows, Robins, Pigeons, Seagulls and Herons here ( and Hummingbirds, if you look hard enough ), too. Fortunately, I've never seen a Heron gulping down a duckling. And, a first time for me, I saw a Grey Heron! I think that it's the Heron from, The Boy And The Heron. It didn't like what I had to say about Miyazaki's anime movie and was planning to transport me to the World of The Dead to confuse me even further! 🙃

I saw a yt video once about a pair of Mallards waddling around in the Canadian snow. And a Lynx was stalking them. As it got within striking distance, it pounced on the pair. Strangely, the male Mallard flew towards the Lynx, sacrificing itself in the process❗ Chivalry is Dead; and it died along with that Mallard! 😕

While we're on the subject of ducks .... 

🤤

😋

When I checked back on the Baseball ⚾ & Soccer ⚽ Sports Field, I noticed that they had fixed the broken fence:

It was probably done earlier in the day.

And they put a new padlock on it.

We'll see how long it will last.

I went to CSAA to pay my annual membership fee. And some asshole employee pissed me off because he assumed that I was about to make a mess as I sorted out my stuff before exiting the building! He acted in a very condescending manner, assuming that I was going to leave trash behind!! I had to hold my tongue in check to keep from calling him out as the Prejudiced Racist that he is!!! I'm filing a complaint. 

When I finally got to the theatre's box office, I found out that they were not having a "Bargain Tuesday All Day" because a lot of patrons turned out to see movies❗ I had to pay regular price❗❗What a rip-off ❗❗❗

I should have gone to Fairfield, instead, since it's cheaper over there. But because of my car's service light coming on and because I wanted to show an employee here about the AQUAfinaMAN parody movie plot summary that I made for him, I decided to just spend the extra bucks here. 💸

And in my haste to get here, I forgot to bring my specially improvised pair of eyeglasses and my mini notebook to scribble notes in. I had to resort to using my car's travel log notebook--again!--to take notes with. 🙄

And as I've said it before, I wanted to 🥤🙂🍿 "popcorn" the Godzilla movie. I watched it after this Migration movie was over:

Auditorium 9, A6

I bought my ticket about 3 hours before this show

began. By the time that the movie started, it

was sold out! I like to think that my blog

on it helped it to sell more tickets! 😎

I bought a Medium Popcorn for $8.00!

A big Tub of Popcorn is cheaper at

the Regal Edwards Fairfield &

I-Max❗And just look at the

calorie content with and

without Butter. And

let's not forget the added Salt!

FYI: The difference between a Medium and

a Large Popcorn is about one cup of

popped corn---That's it❗The large

tub is designed to fool people into

thinking that they're getting a lot

more popcorn for their money.

But you only get your own

money's worth by getting

the Free refill, if you

don't OD on Salt,

First!  😵

I also used Snickers Shakers Chocolate

Seasoning blend on my popcorn. But

I used 2⅓ Tablespoons. A serving

is only 1 teaspoon ❗😧❗

And I ate some Dried Fruits along with the popcorn to counter the Sodium content of the popcorn. And I washed it all down with my Wyler's Light Island Punch Purple Berry Wave flavored Dasani bottled water. 

"Popcorning" the Godzilla movie made me catch the few nuances that I missed the 1st time around since I was too busy objectively scribbling notes down in the dark! 

I walked around the parking lot before I went home.

AQUAfinaMAN, BATTLE FOR CINEMATIC DOMINANCE!

Cinemas, the world over, are in fear of being monopolized by Black Fanta. But AQUAfinaMAN is here to save the Big Screen World❗

-

-

AQUAfinaMAN, aka Grayson Nonoa, Aquaman's skinny twin "brother from another mother" is sent in disguise as a mild mannered, gentle clerk at a local cinema. But behind that "customer service"  facade seethes a volcanic 🌋 rage against his own Arch Enemy, Black Fanta. AQUAfinaMAN needs to prove himself worthy of being accepted into the Atlantean world to rule as Co-Regent of the underwater domain. First, he has to prove his mettle by standing up against Black Fanta, who is possessed by the ghost of Adolf Hitler, and the minion army of Syrupy Sweet Nutsies ( SS Nutsies ) whose ghosts possessed the other Fantas!

The Evil Black Fanta!

And his demonic minions:

The SS Nutsies being loaded into their

transport vehicles to take them to

Sub-Antartica to wait and chill

until Black Fanta gives

them the order to

attack the

Kingdom of Atlantis❗

Black Fanta's nefarious plan is to convince the people of Atlantis that the only way that they can get rid of their 🐠 Fish 🐟 Breath is to chew on countless sticks of Trident Gum:

With so many flavors to choose from, how

can the Atlanteans resist trying to get

rid of their Fish Breath?

Soon, wads of used chewing gum litter the Kingdom. And not only are people blowing bubbles out of their butts but now are also blowing bubbles out of the opposite end! 🤦‍♂️ The Atlanteans' obsession with Trident Chewing Gum is tanking the economy by gumming-up precision machineries, reducing productivity, cutting the labor force and forcing citizens to do ANYTHING just to get a Chewing Gum fix, especially the pregnant ones who are expensively craving for thousands of Trident Chewing Gum, EACH, To Feed Their Hatchlings With❗

-

But AQUAfinaMAN comes up with a plan, the DASANILization plan, to stop Black Fanta's invasion of Atlantis! 😲 This DASANILator leaves a bad taste in the mouths of those who chew Trident Gum and turn their own Tongues black! 😛 This forces the people of Atlantis to stop chewing gum, Trident Gum in particular, for obvious reasons❗The people of Atlantis are saved, Black Fanta and his SS Nutsie army of Fantas are bound and put in Deep Freeze storage in Sub-Antartica to chill forever, Trident Gum is sold on the Black Market to fund Atlantis' Black Budget Projects and AQUAfinaMAN finally rules alongside his twin brother AQUAMAN & together play occasional practical jokes on their clueless half-brother Orm❗ 😁 🪳  😁 🪳 😁

This is Just A Parody Movie Plot Summary---Too Bad, Though .... ☹️

P. S. Fanta was actually the soft drink of choice of the Nazis in World War Two! A Fun(TA) Fact .... 🤷‍♂️

AQUAMAN AND THE LOST KINGDOM

I went to see this yesterday, Sunday, December 24th, 2023, at the Century 14 Vallejo, here in Vallejo, CA. The price of admission was $9.75. I didn't have any snacks because I was full from what I just had for lunch! 

Aquaman's nemesis, Black Manta, is back and is more powerful than ever with the help of the Black Trident. 🔱 He wants to kill Aquaman and his family. Aquaman convinces his incarcerated brother to help him defeat the enemy or it will be the end of Atlantis! 

PG-13, 2h & 4m

Auditorium 7, B-9

Okay, what's up with the seahorse neighing?

He needs a face shield for whenever he has to change the diaper. And my friend Soberund has the perfect one for such a task at

www.soberundgoodes.com

in the Building & Construction collection for all of you 🇺🇸 USA and Canadian 🇨🇦 fathers out there!

Those shoes are not meant for Sub-Zero temperatures!  🥶

You know, if you're standing in an active seismic epicenter, Why Are You Just Standing Around For?!?!?! The key words being ACTIVE ... SEISMIC ... EPICENTER .... 

"Global Warming".... Sorry, but I think that the Atlanteans would be more concerned about the Plastics Pollution in the Oceans!

Why did he sink fast to the ocean bottom when the density of the ocean water at depths get even more so the farther one goes down? 🤷‍♂️

At the inter-species council meeting, they would all have sounded like this, "Blub, blub, blub, gargle, gargle, gargle." Since it takes place underwater and AIR is needed to produce vocal sounds---Hello, is anyone there? "The light is on but no one's home."  If they can communicate telepathically, why didn't they do so and just have us movie-goers read the subtitles? 🤷‍♂️

What is Science Guy doing with an old mini-cassette recorder?!?!?! 🤦‍♂️

Does this movie really need to have a couple of scenes reminiscent of the Star Wars bar scene and of Jabba the Hut? 🤷‍♂️

Really, you talk to your reflection in the mirror 🪞 with your door wide open while people could be walking down the hallway past your room❓🤦‍♂️

How can you burn a kingdom to ashes if it's underwater?  🤷‍♂️

Essentially speaking, the Black Trident is just a Tattle-Tale device. Who needs Truth Serum if you have This!  😄

If you cut your lip like she did, you wouldn't be able to talk normally! 😐

Trust me when I say that a baby in a bag will feel different from how a solid, angular device would feel like!  🧐

If Aquaman could throw a super powerful punch, it should have been more than enough to knock off Black Manta's helmet. Or, at the very least, deform it at the base so that Black Manta wouldn't be able to take it off without resorting to the use of a can opener! 🙃

That "electric shock" should have also coursed through the baby's body❗

I wouldn't accept such a Gold 🪙 piece simply out of Ethical Consideration! I would inform its owner of his coin's True Market Value❗💰❗

The audience really enjoyed the two (2) Cockroach 🪳 Scenes!

There's a Bonus Scene during the Ending Credits.

If they in Whollyweird changed Kingpin from a fat, white guy to a fat, black guy and Nick Fury from a white guy to a black guy just to be more "inclusive," why didn't they change this bad guy to a WHITE Manta because "white man evil," according to those who suffer from Libertardism?

And I'm not even gonna mention how the Snow looks totally FAKE! Oops, I just did!  😬

-

THIS MOVIE SHOULD HAVE HIRED MY SERVICES AS CINE-MAN, Detail Expert! 🔎 🔬

Is Whollyweird even listening ...❓ You're losing out, Whollyweird, if you don't have me on board to help iron-out the sloppy messes that you pass along as masterpieces❗😎❗

-

TIDBITS:

Like the father wearing a knit cap while having emergency medical care, I, too, had the same during my Heart Surgery. It was either have Knit Cap and Socks 🧦 on or No Service! 😁 Never mind that they had my hospital gown wide open as they shoved a breathing tube down my Throat, cut open my Chest and pushed a Penile Catheter up my Mini-Me!  😵‍💫

- - - - - -

As I started my morning walk, an ambulance 🚑 and 2 firetrucks 🚒 came by to respond to an emergency call from a nearby apartment complex. I decided to go and see but, around the bend where homeless people encamp in their cars & RVs, a pitbull owned by a homeless man living in a lime green Hyundai Accent stood at attention looking at me. I couldn't walk further on the sidewalk because of it. I just turned around and decided to go see the emergency responders from the safety of the upper parking lot of the Sutter Solano Medical Complex. As I walked away, the damn dog started barking at me. I listened intently for an indication that it was charging at me. It didn't because it couldn't since it was restrained by its leash. But What I Did Was Wrong, TOTALLY WRONG--a big mistake in such a situation❗At the distance between us, had the pitbull charged at me, it would've been on me even before I could draw out my main knife❗ 🔪❗ Walking BACKWARDS slowly away from an angry dog while keeping an eye 👁️ on it Is The Best Defensive Way As It Gives You Up To 3 Seconds Of A DEFENSIVE Reaction Time Should The Dog Manage To Get Loose ❗❗❗

Why is it that homeless people's preferred dog of choice is the f()cking Pitbull❓🤷‍♂️ This aggressive and vicious breed accounts for over ⅔ of yearly serious and/or deadly maulings here in the USA alone❗As I've said it before, this damn breed is A DEADLY ASSAULT WEAPON ( now watch as the ai content "moderator" flags this particular blog because of this No-No term )❗🤬❗

They made this crosswalk into a yellow one on

Friday, the 22nd. I just noticed it last night

when I walked around this parking lot of

the Sutter Solano's Cancer Center

Medical Building. They did it so

that idiot drivers will have to

stop for pedestrians. I used

to walk around here in the morning but

decided that it was safer to walk here 

on weeknights and on weekends

instead. 

I proceeded to walk 🚶‍♂️ to the nearby park and saw this as I reached the Baseball ⚾ and Soccer ⚽ Sports Field:

When I walked by here yesterday morning, this

fence was still intact! It more than likely

happened sometime later on in the

day when park employees had all

left to prepare for the coming of

the🎄 Christmas 🎁 Eve❗

You can see in the picture a pair of vehicle tire tracks on the ground leading up to the fence that was rammed to break the lock❗ It probably happened in the afternoon ❗😠❗ And in this sanctuary city, we KNOW that it wasn't the baseball players ( who are never here daily ) but the 👉entitled soccer ⚽ players👈, from you-know-where, who vandalized, trespassed and accessed the sports field before its renovation is even completed ❗😡❗🤬❗ Because the damn government allows illegal 👽 👽 👽 to get away with ANY CRIME in sanctuary cities & in states❗😠❗😡❗🤬❗ I've talked to some out-of-towners who refuse to visit Vallejo now because the Libertard government has allowed it to turn into a socialist sh!thole to make the Invaders, Trespassers and Interlopers feel more right at home! 😒 As if we don't have more than enough problem on our hands with the burgeoning cases of crimes involving homeless people, drug dealers, prostitutes, thieves, burglars, assaults and murders! As well as those committed by race-baiting entitled ones clamoring for "reparations"! Yeah, keep "defunding the police," you politicians who forget that you're all in office To Serve And Protect Your Own Citizen Constituents Who Pay For All Of Your Salaries & Perks 🚓👮‍♂️🚨🙄 .... 

Feliz INVADED!👎

We need a Hard-Liner like Netherlands' PM Geert Wilders to prioritize the needs of the LAWFUL CITIZENS of this State👌❗👍 And For Pres. Trump To Be Back In Office ❗🤞❗

I went to the Selecta Pilipino Buffet Restaurant to buy some lottery tickets and to have lunch. It's only when I am here that I eat a piece of fried 🍗 chicken for its Collagen content mostly found in the skin. Yes, that's right. If you're getting on in years, you'll need to have more Collagen added into your diet for tissue and joint support. So, eat poultry, fish, beef and pork skins, as well as beef/pork knuckles and oxtails since they're all good sources of Collagen! 

To the right of my cup of water, resting on the napkins, is a clove of Garlic. I just cannot

eat lots of meat without having some

Garlic with it! I also have to have

a Lecithin capsule, too, since

it helps to keep the Blood

Vessels smooth after

such a meal!

Lecithin Granules work much faster than the

Capsules. But Capsules are much more

convenient to carry around.

No, the Altoids tin box is not for breath mints

because of the Garlic breath 🗣️....

It's where I keep my vitamins,

minerals and some food

nutrition tablets. 

I forgot to bring 2 slices of Keto Bread with me for some needed Fiber. And because I planned to make a sandwich with it using the patrons' favorite dish, Bistek:

What's a Bistek, you ask? Well, it's just the

Beef version of Chicken or Pork Adobo.

But, instead of using Vinegar, you use

Lemon 🍋 Juice. Try making it

yourself. It's super easy to

make. But it's easier for

me to just eat it! 😋

Since I forgot to bring 2 slices of Keto Bread, I made sure to eat plenty of Vegetables. And, for dessert, I had a small serving of the Bisayan dessert, Binignit:

The Tubers in this dessert are high in Fiber.

The one which was prepared is a simpler

version of this one shown on the left.

I avoided slurping the sugary stew.

Since I was only interested in

eating the Tubers. 🥣

By the way, the Rice that you see on my dinner plate 🍽️ is only there to separate the flavors. I don't like the flavors of my food mixing together BEFORE they get down to my Stomach. I keep the flavors separate on my plate by shaping the Rice in a cross pattern. I hope that Rey, the proprietor, understands that I'm "wasting" the Rice because I can't eat it since I have T-2 Diabetes.

Now, if only restaurants have dinner trays with separate, equal compartments for different dishes.😕 Then, I won't have to waste Rice. But the stainless steel ones that I've seen so far don't have equal size compartments!  🙁

Rey invited me to come back today, Monday, for Christmas Day lunch as his restaurant will be open from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. But I really don't like eating a lot. I literally have to force myself to eat each day. That's how it has always been with me. If I don't step out of the house, I'd have trouble with eating because I don't really have a big appetite for food whenever I'm at home. To me, eating is just another social construct. It's weird that I think of it that way; but what else isn't weird about me? 🤪

Yeah, neither of my 2 siblings here in California had a get-together for Christmas. Which means that I'll have to return the presents to the store for my money back. I don't mind .... 🤑 ( My eldest sister in Michigan went to spend the Holidays with her daughter and son-in-law in Georgia. )

And to cap-off my Christmas Eve, I went to the Cineplex to see this movie. After the movie was over, I decided to go for a walk around the block of Turner Parkway, Admiral Callaghan Lane and Plaza Drive. It takes a little over 3,000 steps to cover the block. I also swung by the Dollar Tree Store to buy a shaker jar of French Coffee Creamer and a pair of warm Gloves before I went back to my car in the Cineplex's parking lot 🧤.

The one circled in yellow is the Cineplex.

I forgot to use this Map App in my

earlier blog posts! 🤦‍♂️

I hope that all of you who celebrated this Christmas had a Wonderful and Merry one!

SANTA'S GOT STYLE

Here's another TUBI Covid Lockdown Movie offering from 2022 which caught my interest. So, it's back to sitting in front of my computer 💻 today, Saturday, December 23rd, 2023. This Chick-Flick movie's concept is catchy enough to merit a look-see. 👍

-

-

A new "Reason for the Season"? This Santa lends new meaning to, "DASHING through the snow." 

Security guy reminds me of Paul Blart, mall cop. A younger, skinny version! 🤣

"The term that best describes him is, 'Inappropriate.' That would be the appropriate term." 😆

Boyfriend "vision board." 🤨

"The IT Factor," sure is such a long list for such a short time. Especially with a "Friend Zone" hindrance in the way!

But the red Smoking Jacket/Robe that Rafe Hollifield, aka Stylin' Santa, is wearing gives off a Hugh Hefner vibe. 😕 So, why aren't any of the women allowed to sit on his lap?  😉

"You don't even know the half of it." 😏

Social Media Viral Trend .... 

"Cousin!" 😳

Wish List ....

In retrospect ....

- - - - - - -

I highly recommend this Chick-Flick movie! 👍

But, will the righteous virtue signalers claim that Rafe is the same as Rape?  🤷‍♂️ And spoil it for everyone else.

"They hate us, 'cause they ain't us!" 🙃

As much as I enjoyed this fresh, new approach on the Santa Clause character, I am sure that there are those who will cry out, " Fat Phobia!" Liberalism 👉demands👈 that we ENABLE those who are suffering from the deadly Morbidly Obese disease through "Fat Acceptance." 

Here Are Some Sobering Reality Checks ✅:

Yes, do the Math for each Extra

pound/0.45 kg of Fat that

you have in you!

8 kilometers X 100,000 =

800,000km/0.45 kg

TIDBITS:

So, I went back to the store yesterday, Friday,

to speak with the manager about being

undercharged for this item. He told

me that it was out of season and

was being shipped back to the

distribution center. He didn't know that

there were still a few left on the shelf.

I asked him if I could buy the two

that were left behind. He said

that I could, so I did! For

a penny each, how

could I refuse

such a deal!

🤑

I cooked the Quinoa today with Lentils. I Used 1 cup of Lentils, ½ cup of Quinoa and 3 cups of bottled water. I let it boil then simmered it with 2 tablespoons of Light Olive Oil, stirring occasionally. And I let it cook some more for 18 minutes without the lid so that all the extra liquid would evaporate. And it yielded 8 or 9 servings❗Plus, it came out tasting better than Rice! And I can always enhance its flavor with a sprinkle of Herbs & Spices or with chopped Garlic & Green Onions. 👌 I think that I'll stick with this Healthful Grain Combo substitute from now on since I've been eating harmful White Rice my whole life. 

Lastly, to my readers in Czechia, I offer my condolence to those who are personally affected by the SENSELESS mass shooting. You are in my prayers .... 🤲

NUTCRACKER MASSACRE

I watched this TUBI movie tonight, Thursday, December 21st, 2023, at my computer 💻, part of the 2022 Covid Lockdown Movie suggestions for me. This is a twisted retelling of the Prussian book about the Nutcracker. 

-

-

This movie is slow on the delivery. Let's blame it on the "door dash" guy who took about 20 minutes just to become Victim # 1. 😁

The woman's boyfriend either didn't get a speaking part for around the 25-minute mark or he forgot his line! 🙄

I've only used a pair of ice skates once, back in the winter of '77. And they didn't have razor sharp blades back then! I don't think that they've been made sharper since then.  😐

Am I the only one who knows that you don't need a tool to crack open a walnut? All you need is to put 2 in the palm of your hand then squeeze hard! One of them will eventually give.

That straight arm neck choke is actually very easy to get out of! 👎

It's a nutcracker, not a pair of scissors ✂️, at the 42-minute mark. And shouldn't Blood still be dripping?

James is missing. So, the Nutcracker also moonlights as a cleaning 🧹 lady?  🤷‍♂️

I wonder how well Soberund is doing

trying to sell these in 🇺🇲 & in 🇨🇦 a year after

this terrible movie came

out .... 🤔

-

At the 55-minute mark, don't pick something up from the ground and swallow it if it has been sitting there past the 5-second Rule!

Why didn't they hear her screaming?  🙉

'Can't really expect much of the Nutcracker in the gift wrapping department?  😏

The victims sure play the roles of Such Willing Participants In Their Own Demise with very little resistance. "The Life Force is not strong in these ones," says the Darth Vader-sounding Nutcracker. 😕

Earlier in the day, after a phone appointment, I went out for some errands. 

I swung by the Selecta Pilipino Buffet Restaurant to buy some lottery tickets and to eat lunch.

Rey, the proprietor, told me that, if I'm not spending Christmas with my siblings, I can just swing by for a Christmas dinner 🍽️. I'll wait and see because I also plan on seeing the Godzilla movie for a 2nd time to just "popcorn" it. 🥤🙂🍿

Afterwards, I walked on over to the Dollar Tree Store to buy some stuff. I later found out that I was only charged $0.01 for a small bag of Quinoa when I checked my receipt! 😲 

This is the one that I was really

undercharged for! 

I suspected that the total for my purchase seemed wrong all along. And I knew that it wasn't a present from good ol' 🎅 Santa❗ I'll have to go back tomorrow and pay the right price. Otherwise, this will weigh heavily on my conscience. 😇 Besides, I want God's witness, my appointed Guardian Angel, to know this 🎄Christmas Season ☃️ that I'm following His Son's commandment: "The Golden Rule"! 👼 The best present 🎁 anyone could ever get is from Heaven, not from Earth whether this Christmas or at any other time of the year. If God can not trust me with the little things, how can I expect Him to trust me with the big things? I'll just leave it at that. Amen .... 🙏

Then, I went to the Grocery Outlet Bargain Market to buy some groceries. 

Lo and behold! The pathetic BUD Light 

display just sold one item after

collecting dust for about 1⅔

months on the shelf!

Bwah, ha, ha, ha,

ha---Snort!

❗😂❗

Even at the discounted price of "Buy

One, Get One," the buyer just

Literally took ONLY one. 

🤣❗🤣❗🤣

No thanks to dylan mulvaney. 

I got home and then went for a walk at the park to burn-off some of the calories that I ingested. The callous on my left foot, where a Diabetic Foot Ulcer once was, felt painful enough to cause me to limp. I need to file it down a bit. But the good news is that I'm getting a sense of feeling in my lower extremities again! 👍

In closing ... 😉

A Christmas message from my friend Soberund:

I wonder if the RiffTrax team is hiring .... 🤞

SILENT NIGHT

I saw this movie, yesterday, an All Day Bargain Tuesday, December 19th, 2023, at the Regal Edwards Fairfield & I-Max, in Fairfield, CA. The price of admission was $5.00.

A man's son is killed in a crossfire between rival gangs on a Christmas Eve. He makes it his all-consuming mission to avenge his son's death a year later.

You know, for the sake of realism, the shoot-outs wherein people are spraying each other with bullets from automatic rifles--Especially In Close Quarters--should be able to hit each other SOONER THAN LATER ❗🤦‍♂️ One of the Rules of Writing should also apply to Movie Directing. And that is, GET TO THE POINT, ASAP❗🤨❗So what if it cuts out 20 minutes from the finished movie's length? 🤷‍♂️ Think of how much shaving-off 20 minutes from your movie project will actually save you money in production costs. 🤑 And let's not forget that doing so will also help to minimize the chances of potential accidents/injuries from happening on the set❗👌❗👍❗

So, the father goes to the police precinct, takes photos of The Most Wanted list of criminals, does his homework on google And Finds Out Where ALL Persons Of Interest Are Holing Out❓🤷‍♂️❓🤷‍♂️❓WTF, man❗🤦‍♂️❗🤦‍♂️❗What where the cops doing all of this time, scoping the neighborhood for the best Donut 🍩 & Coffee ☕ shops in town ❓❗

A 2016 used Ford Mustang V-8 for under $3,000.oo❓I know that they depreciate in value fast. But not at 160 mph ( 257.5 kph ) fast❗And even if I saw it wrong and it was actually a 2006 model, it would still be at least just half of its true resale value, based on Kelly Blue Book:

https://www.kbb.com/ford/mustang/2006/

Heck, I bought my used 2002 Saturn SC-1 for twice that amount back in 2015! Of course, it only had 30,427 miles ( 48,968 kilometers) on the odometer. And it finally passed 60,000 miles ( 96,561 kilometers ) yesterday on my way to the Cineplex. And 2 years ago, I saw another Saturn which was exactly like mine in year, model & color for sale with only 20,000 miles ( 32,187 kilometers ) on the odometer. But I deliberated and some lucky guy got it, instead!  ☹️

You know, if I was doing something illegal, not only would I be doing it behind closed doors with the lights turned low But Also With The Window Shades Pulled Down Or The Curtains Pulled Together!

Here's a quick reminder: Knives and Swords are designed for Slicing and Dicing; Arrows, Spikes & Spears are designed for Poking and Stabbing❗ Knowing the difference between them can help you win a do-or-die fight. So, instead of trying to push the knife in deeper, the bad guy who stabbed him in the left thigh should just have removed the knife in an arcing motion to sever more Arteries and make him die of Blood Loss. Which is what I did to the 2nd pitbull that tried to rip the left side of my face off!

Why were the cops ordered to Stand Down?

Why didn't the warehouse have smoke alarms?

Even with the music speakers blaring, why didn't anybody in the upper rooms feel and hear the explosion 💥 and gunfights happening down on the 1st floor?

Just double-tap the bad guys especially if you don't know if whether or not you have enough ammo to use on every single one of them! Instead of wasting time and bullets on a whole bunch of them. And Use Hollow Points, F❗C❗O❗L❗

And why didn't he kill the bad guy earlier when he had the chance? Maiming the bad guy is out of the question because he can do far worse to you than just killing you! He can sue you in court and win and garnish everything you've got, including your baby mama. And to add insult to injury, he'll rub salt in it by sending you periodic pictures of your hot, young baby mama's baby boy, but not your own boy but his own boy, As You Rot In Jail❗And he'll be sure to have your ex-baby mama pop out more of his bastards on your Dime as you do your Time ❗🤬❗So, spare yourself the unnecessary mental torture by just capping him dead permanently❗👌❗👍❗

The drug addicted woman shot more rounds than her magazine clips could ever possibly have!  😕

TIDBITS:

As he lay in his hospital bed, I thought of the movie, THE CROW. Then, the parrot appears on screen. Go figure .... 

There's another senior citizen man who comes here on Tuesdays to watch more than 1 movie. And I've shared the same auditorium with him a few times. You can tell that he's in the same auditorium with you by his distinct laugh. He's the self-appointed "laugh track" who laughs for everyone else in the auditorium. 😏  Even at some not-so-funny scenes. He's who I would refer to as someone who is easily amused! 😁

I caught the ai search engine

"content moderator"

in the act!

I checked on this after I got

home from my morning

walk around the park.

-

I finally tried for the first time my old pair of eyeglasses 👓 as I started to drive home. I was still in the parking lot just in front of the Best Buy when I stopped driving at the turn before the traffic intersection to switch glasses. Then I proceeded to drive my car up on the center island's curb. 🙄  It was the only mishap! The rest of my drive back home was flawless.  👌

I also used this same pair for watching the movies. They're much better than the newer pair because I modified it to address my double vision problem. I should market this invention, too.  🤔 I never got this tip from any of my eye doctors, I can tell you that right now ❗😠❗

You know what they say about prescription eyeglasses getting stronger each time. And that it's better for you to get a weaker prescription eyeglasses, instead. Well, why can't we just tell the Opthalmologist, Optometrist and/or the Optician to make as a weaker prescription pair? Or just save your old ones. Which is what I do. I have an older pair of eyeglasses in each car and I bring an extra pair with me whenever I travel 🧳. I learned the hard way to do just this. 

When I went to the Philippines in '82 to '83, I didn't bring a spare with me and the nose pad broke. I had to MacGyver-fashion a new one from scratch!

THE BOY AND THE HERON

I went to see this yesterday, A Bargain All Day Tuesday, December 19th, 2023, at the Regal Edwards Fairfield & I-Max, in Fairfield, CA. The price of admission was $5.00. And I bought a tub of popcorn 🍿 at the concessions counter for $5.65! Yeah, the large popcorn price went from $5.00 to $5.05 to $5.65 in the last 3 months ❗

I found this movie's plot too convolutedly confusing to follow along. Unfortunately, it gave me a sense of ennui. And, apparently, I am not alone in expressing such an opinion. I dozed off on a few times throughout this movie's 2h & 4m length, I'm sorry to admit. Come for the Animation, leave with some Confusion.

This YouTuber shares his opinion about this movie:

https://youtu.be/SIwePgzJ9cI?si=T-762SGtGwqFlJqU

Another confusing thing about this movie is the fisherman character. The character looks like a man but sounds like a woman. Talk about "gender confused"!  🤦‍♂️

It's honestly not my cup of Matcha Tea! 🍵

But there were those in the audience who were Miyazaki fans who obviously enjoyed this movie and woke me at times with their laughter. As I've said it before, I'm a light sleeper.

There are 2 scenes that caught my interest. The Japanese traditional wooden Geta sandals:

Don't stand at the edge of a cliff

when you have this thing on!

-

And also the assorted western canned goods that the grannies seemed to love during The War. I would think that such things would be banned at such a time, just like how the USA banned Japanese products during said time. They were smuggled into the country, perhaps ....

TIDBITS:

After finishing the DREAM SCENARIO movie and before watching this one, I decided to walk around the shopping mall where this Cineplex is located. The Best Buy that reopened for Thanksgiving is now a Best Buy Outlet store. All that I could see from the entrance are rows and rows of Refrigerators, Washers and Dryers! There's an interesting toy store right next to it, though:

Seeing all of these toys reminded me of the

late Verne Troyer. He bought himself a

Tesla! A toy one, that is ❗🤣

My friend Soberund has some ride-on toy vehicles to offer at

www.soberundgoodes.com

USA 🇺🇲 & Canada 🇨🇦

buyers only.

-

in the Toys & Novelties collection. 

In my rush to see 3 movies, I forgot to take my mini notepad with me. I'm talking about the notepad that's made of paper and is spiral bound! Old School Cool 😎❗So, I went back to my car in-between this movie and the DREAM SCENARIO one to fetch my travel log notebook 📒 to take notes with.

I went into the Men's Room to wash my

hands after paying the cashier

with some paper money. 

And, as it turned out, I didn't even need to take notes for this one! 🤦‍♂️ Because .... 😴.

I brought my own special blend of popcorn flavor. It's quite good, actually. I think that I should market it .... 🤔  I flavored my 20 oz ( 591 ml ) Aquafina Bottled Water with a stick of Wyler's Light Island Punch Purple Berry Wave.

-

I also had a bag of high Fiber and high Potassium dried Prunes, Apricots & Figs to help counter the popcorn's Sodium content.
