THANKSGIVING

I went to see this movie yesterday, Tuesday, November 21st, 2023, a $ 5.00 Bargain Tuesday All Day, at the Regal Edwards Fairfield & I-Max, in Fairfield, CA. The price of admission was $5.00. I also bought a Tub of Buttered Popcorn 🍿 for $5.05.

SPOILER ALERT: ( And Why Whollyweird Should Hire My Services )

This gory Slash & Chop horror movie could have been better had it not been for some slip-ups:

The cellphone 📱 should have had a numeric password as backup! All of the Dumpsters that I've seen have plastic lids, not metal lids. And even if the dumpster in this movie had metal lids, I don't think that the impact was strong enough to cut the victim in half; at best, the victim's Spine would have just been dislocated! Why didn't she head straight out of the front door where there were cops outside instead of engaging the killer in a labyrinthian chase? 🤷‍♂️ Why wasn't the mask banned from sale and/or use? Why was the intended victim able to activate the cop car's siren 🚨 right away? I wouldn't have known where to look for the siren's switch nor would I have even the time to do so, given the situation. Dead Bodies Do Tend To Turn Blue Because The Blood Is No Longer Oxygenated! And They Will Also Become Swollen! So, those dead victims were not SFX'd correctly!! Otherwise, the fake victims looked good! 👍  Why was the baked victim not tied up in the 1st place? 🤷‍♂️!🤦‍♂️ The baked victim would have taken longer to bake, when referencing the Stuffed Turkey Baking Guide ( and we know that the victim was "stuffed"  because the entrails and organs weren't first removed 🤢 )❗ Assuming that the baked victim weighed 135 pounds ( 61.23 kilos ), the baking time would have been 27 L-O-N-G hours ❗😯❗ Which means that by the time the victim was done being baked it would have been well into the late hours of Black Friday or even into the wee hours of Saturday, depending on when the victim was baked in the oven ❗❗❗This Is Why I Prefer Take-Out! 😁 Therefore, that Meat Thermometer popped Way Too Soon! 👎 And the baked victim wasn't even baked to "golden brown"  perfection!👌 Why were they able to get a Tunnel Map right away in such an emergency? The helium-filled Giant Turkey 🦃 balloon shouldn't have exploded because there was nothing incendiary about the Blunderbuss's projectile that hit it! The ending was stupid, as in Same Ol' Trope! 😒 👎

There's a Bonus Outtake Scene AFTER the Ending Credits. 🙂

If you're cooking Turkey 🦃 for tomorrow's Thanksgiving Day Celebration, here's a chef's tip on how to do it right:

The word play on Carver's name during this Turkey 🦃 Season is commendable, though.  🧐

TIDBITS: As I made a left to go to the multiplex cinema's parking lot, I noticed some foot activity in the adjacent parking lot of the Fairfield Best Buy Electronics & Appliance Store. For about a year, I thought that this particular Best Buy went out of business because it was totally gutted inside. But I talked to one of the theatre employees who informed me that it isn't closed, that it was just being updated. So, I guess that Best Buy is getting ready for Black Friday. I hope that its Black Friday Sale won't turn out as horrific as this movie's Black Friday Sale!!!🤞😬❗

I sprinkled Klim Kinder 1+ powdered milk on my Buttered Popcorn Lunch ( Yes, LUNCH! 😁 ) and had some chopped Macadamia Nuts ( for the Potassium & Magnesium contents ) to go along with it. I "washed" it all down with a single stick of Wyler's Light Island Punch Fruity Red Punch flavored 20.0 oz ( 591 ml ) water bottle of Aquafina. 

The proprietor of Selecta Pilipino Buffet Restaurant told me this last Sunday that he likes his Turkey 🦃 deep-fried. And that it only takes about 15 minutes to deep-fry such a big bird. 😮 If it's baked in the oven, an 8-pound unstuffed Turkey can take 3 hours to bake; and a 28-pound stuffed Turkey can take 5 hours to bake.

THE STARVING GAMES, PG-13 ( 1 hr & 23 min )

-

I saw this last night, just past midnight, Wednesday, December 11th, 2013, at home in my futon bed on my brand-spankin' new Samsung Galaxy Mega through movie4k.to.

Samsung Galaxy Mega is the one on the left. Samsung Galaxy Note is on the right. As you can see from the comparison, the Mega is bigger than the Note. And the Mega is essentially a Galaxy S 3, only much bigger and slightly faster.

Quickie Review: In a depressing post-Apocalyptic World wherein most people live a hard-scrabble life, two teens from each of 12 districts are selected to participate in a "kill-or-be-killed" competition in which only one is expected to survive and win a discount coupon for a foot-long sandwich, a half-eaten pickle and a ham to feed his/her family with for one meal. Yes, it's the 75th Annual Starving Games! And Kantmiss Evershot ( Maiara Walsh ) volunteers to take the place of her manipulative little sister while Peter Malarkey ( Cody Christian ) also volunteers himself just because he has a long-time infatuation on Kantmiss. And, so, the games take place with spoofs on recent movies, and funny references to pop culture characters and celebrities alike, with an interesting twist at the end.

I liked this stupid movie enough.

I liked the "Motorboat" scene ( I wasn't expecting it ), the "Cheerleaders" scene, the clever ad placements on someone's face, and the Outtakes.

Go to movie4k.to to see this movie--but be forewarned:

As I watched this movie, a "your cellphone might be infected with a virus, please do a quick free scan" pop-up appeared. And, later on in the day, when I revisited the website to watch a Hulk and Ironman movie, a note flashed on my cellphone screen, informing me that my cellphone was infected with a virus!

I private-messaged on Facebook my friend Hector's son, Isma, about it. He said that my cellphone could be infected. And I just bought it less than two days ago, on Monday!

Oh, swell, I said to myself. I should have known better than to visit the site. Now, I'm gonna have to shell-out more money just to get rid of the virus. I already spent around $500.oo on it and on some accessories for it!

So, I drove to the Best Buy store in town to see if they could get rid of my cellphone virus for me.

-

The bearded clerk at the service center told me that all it needed was a "factory reset", and that I should check with my service provider first.

I drove to the MetroPCS store, my service provider, at 3315 Sonoma Boulevard, Suite 70, here in Vallejo, CA, to have someone do a reset for me.

-

One of the two girls behind the counter did the reset for me at 2:22 p.m. It took her just a few minutes---Hell, it took me longer to re-add six ( that's 6, as in: only 6 ) 'phone numbers to my Contacts list, using my Tracfone "pay-as-you-go" flip-phone! I had the girl show me how to do the reset, just in case I get stupid enough to revisit movie4k.to once again to watch an illegally uploaded movie!!!

Boy, am I glad that a factory reset was an easy thing to do--and free!!! Whew ....

For her trouble, she tried to talk me into buying a case for my Samsung Galaxy Mega. But I told her that I already bought a blue case from them when I bought the 'phone two days ago. Then, she wanted to know if I'd be interested in buying a screen protector; but since the screen is made of "gorilla glass" it should be scratch-resistant. And, I added that I preferred to use the Nintendo hard case that I bought for it at another store because I could keep everything in it, including the charger and earphones.

These are Nintendo hard cases. I bought one in blue. I drove all the way to buy it at the Big Lots! Discount Store in Vacaville, CA, hours after I bought my new Samsung Galaxy Mega and minutes before I went to see THE BOOK THIEF's 8:50 p.m. show--which I liked, by the way--at the BRENDEN VACAVILLE 16.

-

But I did ask the girl if they were ever gonna carry a shock- and water-proof case for the Mega. She said that they might eventually do so.

Maybe, I should go back to Best Buy in a few days' time to see if they already have the shock- and water-proof case for it. At the same time, I will buy a Micro SD card for it.

Speaking of Samsung ....

I just found out last night that an Apple Store in Vancouver, Canada, had someone working for them by the name of Sam Sung! Ha, ha, ha. Now, isn't that just ironic?
