THE MERMAID ( 2021 )

I started to watch this "Wear Masks 😷 And Don't Mind Us Allowing ILLEGALS & JIHADISTS Into Our Country While We Tell You To Stay Indoors To Avoid Getting Sick During The PLANdemic And Be Sure To Just Mail In Your Midterm Ballots In Next Year's Selections For The Sake Of Your Health & Wellbeing" movie at predawn today, Monday, June 10th, 2024 in bed 🛏️ via my cellphone's 🤳 TUBI Streaming App.

Scene Commentaries:

Why are you so trusting of humans when 1 of them just tried to stab you a moment ago?  🤷‍♂️

Finally, a mermaid movie with mermen❗ Well, it's a convenient narrative to explain the movie script's plot summary & synopsis.  😕

Everyone of your clan dove underwater for protection but you decided to just make yourself a literal "fish-out-of-water" target! 🎯 

"You were running a fever all night. I fed you medicine mouth-to-mouth." 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨   Wow! 😍  "I think that I'm getting a fever all over again!" should be first and foremost in his mind.   😘

Xiaoyu is so desperate for a man because 14 years prior, China decided to encourage females to get married as a national obligation. Or suffer the shame of being labeled, "Leftover Woman!"  😧

These are women who put career first! And

not only are they mostly educated and

professional  but  they  also  have

high expectations of the men

who want to court them.

But time is running out for them so they're willing to stop waiting for Mr. Right but settle for Mr. Right Now❗ In other words, it's time to get one of those Chinese Mail-Order Bride Catalogues subscription❗😜❗Tell them that Cine-Man sent you❗😁❗😁❗

Who needs a shotgun wedding when you have all of these guys around❓

I don't honestly think that this boat

is even seaworthy at all!

Fire the apprentice Boatbuilder and hire Cine-Man as THE Replacement!  👍

How did he get back home to his house if he no longer had his house key with him? 🗝️ 

Why? Because I really need to go pee! 🙃

The merpeople take the i-Cloud data file to a whole different kind of level!  🧐

With today's technology, Him Guy could take that old photo, Photoshop it and enlarge it up to a poster size.  🤨

You just need a small sample to extract & study the subject's DNA. 🔍 🧫🔬

She's a visitor but I don't see a Visitor Badge on her. Neither do I see an escort. Are there even CCTVs in that facility?  One would think that they'd be more strict especially after the wuhan lab leak!  🧐

"The new species is likely to destroy the marine ecology." What "new species" are you talking about ❓ 🤷‍♂️❗🤦‍♂️

How in Hell did she get back in the fishtank so quickly AND chained down, no less❓😯❗

Who taught her how to use chopsticks? 🥢 

Just a thought. I think that mermaids might be Lactose Intolerant!  😕

The mother's favorite bracelet: It's somewhat like a wedding 💍 ring exchange.

The hospital, where a truth is revealed.  😯

The siren's song. 🧜‍♀️🎶 I never thought of this kind of explanation before ....   🤔 

The betrayal.  😐

They get to wear pajamas but I had to wear a hospital gown that opens in the back! 😲

A new daily habit ....  😶‍🌫️

Tidbits:

There aren't any movie worth seeing on the Big Screen this week. On a positive note, I get to go through some movies on my TUBI Watch List.  🙂

-------

I went to metroPCS today, Tuesday, June 11th to pay on my 'phone bill. And because I needed help unlocking my tablet. I couldn't remember the password for it, and I don't have it on file!  🤦‍♂️ The manager said that he couldn't help me because it was closing time and resetting the tablet takes about ½ hour!  🤷‍♂️ I'll just swing by either tomorrow or Thursday.

I went to the new Dollar Tree Store to see if they restocked the Men's Compression Socks. They still don't have any.  😕

Then I drove on over to the Tractor Supply Company to see what they have because I've never been to a farm/ranch/garden/outdoor supply store before.

They even have dune buggies 

& gas/electric trail bikes!

I'll have to swing by here some more later on. You can even order a street legal, CARB approved 150cc motorscooter through them---Sweet👌❗👍

I then crossed the side street to see about buying some stuff at the American Canyon Wal-Mart. They don't have the things that I needed to buy!  😒

I stopped at the Neighborhood Wal-Mart here in Vallejo on my way home. Some of the stuff that I needed weren't in stock, too!  🤦‍♂️

I'll have to go to Grocery Outlet Bargain 

Market tomorrow or Thursday 

to see if they have what

I need to buy.

I'm proud of the country where I came from. But this is ridiculous:

This is so very DISCRIMINATORY!

And this has been on display

for many months now!

This is just a lawsuit waiting to happen ❗😠❗ Because other "disenfranchised" groups will complain about this racial/ethnic preference❗ What's next, mexican flag? pride flag? antifa flag? blm flag? FAKEstinian flag? nazi flag? white power flag? The list goes on .... I should just stop right here before I give more ideas to be used by the socialists, communists, globalists, jihadists and illegals.   😒

There was a lot of people at the checkout line! And there was an argument between 2 women because one of them started a line for check-stand # 5, effectively cutting all of us off even though we were ahead in line of her and the other assholes who decided to cut us all off!  🤬

There were 7 customers ahead of 

me and about 10 behind me

when the bitch decided 

to start a line for 

check-stand 

# 5 and 

cut us all off!

The 2 checkers were of no help because they didn't enforce the "1st come, 1st served"  rule! And the idiotic wannabe cop Security Guard warned the 2 women that he was going to make them both leave the store if they didn't stop the argument! The woman in my line didn't do anything wrong by pointing out what the bitch did!

The check-stand # 4 checker was rude to me! I'll be filing a complaint with a lawyer soon for being wrongly prejudged by the asshole❗ Remember that there's a law against disrespecting senior citizens with disabilities❗😡❗

My total distance walked for Tuesday ....

5.03 kilometers 

The distance displayed should have been 

more because the pedometer was 

off for quite some time before 

I noticed that it was off!

The other pedometer showed

100  more  steps!  😕

3.06 mi/4.92 km

Still,  the  discrepancy  in  the 

distance measurement 

is quite glaring!

-------

And speaking of elections, the British want to identify as US Citizens so that they can mail-in ballots for Trump❗ 

👉 https://youtube.com/shorts/Gb8pTEPPpPM?si=sMR4w_Y33OTIYYaa

Why not? Even Australians want to vote for Trump! 

The DEMON-crats sure know how to turn the table against themselves❗ 👌 ❗ 👍❗

audience reaction:  The audience liked this movie.

recommendation:  I thought that it was stupid. The Premise was good. But the Acting and the Situations weren't. Go see this only if your taste in Comedy leans heavily on the unrefined side.

spoiler alert!  That little girl's chin looked so fake. Why did the nephew have to sport an old "Justin Bieber" hairstyle? Being a Pilipino, I would think that Bernardo would be "Lactose Intolerant" and shouldn't have drank all of that milk. Those fashion lines looked too garish to me. God, I've never seen a pizza pie that BIG ( yeah, but does it tastes Italian-style? )! I didn't know that they take the phrase, Roadside Stand, quite literally: That vendor's table IS AT THE CURB OF THE ROAD!

fyi:  When I was a little kid growing up in the Philippines, my father would discourage me from watching Pilipino movies. To him, such movies lacked quality and refinement and, as such, were relegatable to the "Bakya Crowd", people too poor to afford to buy shoes and must wear wooden sandals, instead.

Presently, this movie is the highest-grossing Pilipino film of all time. And I really don't see a reason why it should be.

One of the actresses in this movie, Ms. Gloria Diaz ( Miss Universe, 1969 ), is a first cousin of my late mother.

Totoy, in my Cebuano Language, means Breast(s).

It truly is inhumane the way they treat their servants in the Philippines. The abusively-exploited servants are more like slaves than anything else!

Vice Ganda bears an uncanny resemblance to the Chinese actor, Donnie Yen. They look like they could be identical twins separated at birth! Hey, they could do a movie along the "Good twin/Evil twin" line, something like: Kung Fu vs. Kung Fruit.

Donnie Yen, Martial Artist ( I found this on the Internet )

Vice Ganda, Make-up Artist ( I found this on the Internet )

word of advice:  "Revenge is a dish best served cold." ( STAR TREK: WRATH OF KHAN [ 1982 ] )

tidbits:  As I waited in line at the box office to buy my ticket for this movie, my sister ( the one who lives in Fairfield, CA ) came up to greet me. She was there with her daughter. They were in line to buy tickets for BULLET TO THE HEAD. I told them to go see WARM BODIES, instead, that it is way better than TWILIGHT. She said that she and her daughter will see it tomorrow. I hope that they do because I'm pretty sure that they'll like watching WARM BODIES.

Before the movie started, the audience was treated to a promotional short for the upcoming DESPICABLE ME, 2 movie. It's the one with the Minions changing a light bulb. When the Minion holding the light bulb said, "Eh, narito na." The mostly-Pilipino audience laughed because it is Tagalog for, "Hey, it's here." Ha, ha, ha. And the line, "Okay, dito tara" sounds similar to the Tagalog command, "Okay, dito ka na." ( English: "Okay, you stay here." ) Hey, wait a minute .... Are the minions just a bunch of Pilipinos in disguise ...?

After the movie, I went to the FedEx/Kinkos store in the Safeway Shopping Center on Admiral Callaghan Lane here in Vallejo to make copies of my Chiropractor's appointment to give to my manager because he keeps messing-up my appointments. I think that he wants me to miss my scheduled appointments so that I become permanently disabled.
