LISA FRANKENSTEIN

I went to see this yesterday, February 13th, 2024, a 5 Dollar All Day Tuesday, at the Regal Edwards Fairfield & I-Max, after I watched OUT OF DARKNESS. The price of admission was $5.00. And I bought a Large tub of Popcorn for $5.40. I brought a stick of Wyler's Light Zero Sugar Island Punch to flavor my Aquafina bottled water. I also brought my own special, secret popcorn seasoning blend that I made myself. It's savory 😋 and somewhat spicy! 🥵

Auditorium 8, C-12

SCENE COMMENTARIES: 

This movie, set in 1989, is somewhat like a Horror Comedy version of the 1985 movie, DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN.

I never saw this movie nor would I

want to! Because madonna had

a bad influence on two girls

that I know from around

the time when she

became famous.

The tanning bed reminds me so much of a Panini press sandwich maker. Towards the movie's end is when I realized that I was right. 👌

My friend Soberund has a Panini press for sale in his on-line store:

www.soberundgoodes.com

Prospective US 🇺🇲 and 🇨🇦 Canadian buyers can find them in the Kitchenware & Appliances collection. 

That was quite a distance traveled to the party! Did she, or did she not, walk back home? 

Why did Lisa have a closet full of men's clothes and shoes? 🤷‍♂️

How did the "creature" learn how to drive a car?

As for the other things wrong with this movie, let's just say that all of the science courses that I took in college makes it hard for this movie to suspend my disbelief--which is what movies are supposed to do❗ Attention, Whollyweird: You Only Have One Job And That Is To Suspend Your Moviegoers' Disbelief❗❗ That's it❗❗❗Why do you keep failing at such a simple, SINGLE Job❓🤷‍♂️❓🤦‍♂️❓

The Pinay American actress Liza Soberano, who plays the role of Taffy, Is The Only Reason Why I Went To See This Movie! I've heard of her but never saw her on the Big ( or small ) Screen before now. She reminds me so much of a classmate of mine back in elementary school in Davao City, Mindanao, Philippines. This girl, whose name is Joy, has the same kind of eyes as Liza's. She was also very beautiful with her twinkly eyes and dimpled smile. But knowing that I would be immigrating with my siblings to the USA soon made me obsess with all things--and girls--that are European American! Had I known then what I know now, I would have pursued and courted her; especially since I seem to have met with her mother's approval! Now that I've spent the better part of my life here in the States, I've come to appreciate what is meant by the proverb on unrealized love, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." And what is meant by Shakespeare's Juliete when she said, "Parting is such sweet sorrow ...." ☹️  But I should not even quote Tennyson's, "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all," since I never even got THE Chance to share joy with Joy at all!  😢💔😭 ( Did I just add a line to Tennyson's poem? 😏 )

Because the surname Soberano is the Spanish word for Sovereign, I asked Soberund if that is what his name means. He said that his father Mr. Goode Sr. gave it to him to uphold and to treasure. Mr. Goode Sr. was a verbally and physically abusive alcoholic at some point in his life. One day, he finally realized what he was doing to himself and, more importantly, to his pregnant wife so decided to quit drinking alcohol, Cold-Turkey❗ He never touched the stuff ever again so as to serve as a good role model to his own future son. So, he came up with the name of Soberund ( phonetically pronounced, Sew Bee Roond ) for his newborn son. It means, "Sober and ...."  It's a fitting name, I must say not only because my friend's last name is Goode but also because Soberund grew up morally upright, in keeping with his promise to his father! 👍

TIDBITS:

I went for a walk after watching OUT OF DARKNESS and before seeing this movie.

I was walking when I took this picture of a

parked car across the street from the

Cineplexes' parking lot. The car is

surrounded by 6 police cars. I

am sorry for the blurriness

of the photo because I

didn't stop when I

shot it.📱

🙄

I got the Blood Draw & Urine Test results back late this evening. My Thyroid, Prostate, Electrolytes, Cholesterol and Triglycerides are all normal. My Hgb A1C is at 6.9 which is 1.3 above normal; but it's going down because it was at 13.5 at one time in September 2020! 

My Albumin to Creatinine ratio is high. As well as my Protein to Creatinine ratio. But I suspect that it's because I don't really drink that much water each day! I usually have between 5 to 7 cups of water each day. I'll try drinking 10 to 12 cups between now and my next Lab Tests in May or June.

An Iranian doctor discovered that many

diseases can be cured simply by 

drinking plenty of water.

I'll see if it's really

true! 👌👍

The doctor's name is

Batmanghelidj.

I have an appointment with my cardiologist on April 3rd. I'm interested in knowing what my new BNP Score will be. I hope that it will be lower, if not back to normal!  🤞

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4, R ( 1 hr & 35 min )

-

I went to see this today, Sunday, October 21st, 2012, here in Vallejo, CA, at the Century 14 Vallejo for the 11:30 a.m. ( Extra Dollar Off First Show Matinee ) show in auditorium 7, 5th row, 9th column.

Quickie Review:  A weird and creepy boy, Robbie ( Brady Allen ) moves into the neighborhood with his single mom. When his mom gets taken to the hospital one day, and with no known relatives to look after him for the time-being, Alex ( Kathryn Newton ) and her parents take Robbie in, not knowing that he has a "connection" with Alex's little brother. Soon, strange nighttime occurrences take place at Alex's home, captured live by computer cameras set-up throughout the house.

I guess some people in the audience liked it because one man gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending and said, "That was the best one."

I would have to disagree. I think the third one was scarier than this. I would only recommend this to those of you out there who are fans of the first three installments of this horror franchise.

I liked how the computer cameras were set-up to monitor the house. 'Remember what I said back in August about webcams on my HIT AND RUN blog?

And I liked the night-vision scenes with the motion-capture sensors.

There is a Bonus Scene after the Ending Credits which is shot inside of a Mexican ( ? ) store.

Here are what didn't make sense in this movie:  In a situation where a child is left behind without adult care or supervision, the authorities usually have Child Protective Services take care of the child. If only Alex and her parents reviewed the videos each day, they would have had a better idea of what they were dealing with. Otherwise, it wouldn't make any sense for Alex to agree to have the computer cameras set-up to monitor her house in the first place!

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

After the movie, I went to the Best Buy electronics store across the street from the theatre to buy a top-up card for my "pay-as-you-go" Virgin Mobile cellphone. In a cordoned-off area of their parking lot, there was an old yellow school bus named, Bad to the Bone--with gigantic tires--giving "Kool Bus" rides to children and their parents in order to raise funds for Juvenile Diabetes. I would like to ride that bus someday.

After I topped-up my cellphone, I called Hector to let him know about what I saw in the night sky last night on my way home from my brother's house in Fairfield, CA.

While I was at the Starbucks coffee shop at 966 Admiral Callaghan Lane here in Vallejo blogging about this movie, two white ladies sat immediately to my right to try and figure out how to get someplace. Since they were obviously not from the area ( I asked ), I gave them my local map. And, later, I used my computer to find the place that they were looking for: La Strada Italian Restaurant in American Canyon, CA. I showed them the directions as well as the address and 'phone number of said place. They thanked me and called me an "Angel"--Hah! if only they knew what sort of kinky stuff goes through my mind each and everyday. Heh, heh, heh.

Anyway, I'm hoping that my "good deed" for the day will let me win the California Lottery BIG TIME!!! And soon, too. Hey, I just figured out that at my current rate of pay at work, it would take me close to 21 years to make a million dollars. So, if I win the lottery big time, I will be sure to take 20 years of vacation from work for each million that I win. It's wishful thinking on my part--for now! It only takes a dollar to win, as they say ....

I've kept you guys in suspense long enough. About that "thing" which I saw last night, I called and told my brother about it as soon as I pulled into my carport parking space; and, as soon as I entered my unit, I e-mailed my eldest sister in Michigan about it. And here's what I wrote to her:


>>>>  Xxx Xxx ( eldest sister ),

I went to ( my brother ) Xxxxx's house today, Saturday, October 20th,
2012, after work, for his infant son's baptismal celebration.

On my way home, on I-80, just about a mile away from the American
Canyon Exit, at 10:48 p.m., as I was doing my Zhunti Mantra while I was
driving, I saw out in the horizon a bright blue orb fall from the night sky
at a 30-degree angle from the perpendicular in front of my car. It was
approximately one-fourth to one-third the diameter of the Moon in size.
It was visible for only one second!

I fear that it is a repeat of the vision that I saw in December of
2004 just nine days before the Earthquake/Tsunami hit Asia. Of course,
back then, the orb that I saw falling from the sky was a combination
of red, orange, yellow and blue colors. So, I don't know what this
all-blue orb means. Only time will tell.

Anyway, just be careful when you and your family go about your affairs
during the next two weeks or so. Because I don't know whether the blue
orb falling from the night sky is a good omen or a bad omen.

What I do know about the blue color from my knowledge of Hinduism and
through my meditation practice is that it is the color associated with
the Hindu God, Shiva, the God of Destruction ( and, consequently,
Renewal ). I hope and pray that I am wrong because countless lives
will be in grave peril if I am right.

So, be careful, once again.

Xxxxxx ( Cine-Man )  <<<<

The blue orb fell in the same vicinity of the Pacific Ocean as the one which I saw in 2004. Please refer back to my blog on HEREAFTER which I posted on October 22nd, 2010--practically two years ago! I fear that Asia will experience another Cataclysmic Event within the next two weeks.

Before going to bed last night--rather, early this morning--I prayed to God to spare the lives of innocent little children and infants. But, who am I to go against God's Will? His ".. Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven" ( The Lord's Prayer ). If innocent lives must be lost, I asked Him to take care of their souls.

When I told Hector earlier today about my vision, I mentioned that the blue color is associated with the Hindu God, Shiva, The God of Destruction. He said that he doesn't believe in Shiva. And I told him that Shiva is to Hindus what The Holy Spirit is to Christians. And I further elaborated by saying that Brahma is God, the Father; Vishnu is God, the Son; and Shiva is God, The Holy Spirit.

Allow me to rephrase a famous quote from Shakespeare's play, ROMEO AND JULIET: A Holy Trinity by any other name would still be as Divine.

Please pray that I am wrong about my "End Times" vision. Thank you ....
