IRON MAN 3

Pain

The pain is getting to be a bit much. My brain is on fire, my tongue feels like it's wrapped in a tourniquet and my forearm really hurts, particularly my left side. I will ingest CBD and THC oil but we'll see if they work. Stay tuned, Dear Reader!

Go here for help!

DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS

SEINFELD

COBRA KAI

CARNIVALE

 I've seen it many times, of course. Another illo by Luce Reimer: 

THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS

Also: 

Magazines

I don't buy them anymore! I used to go for a long car drive to stand and ponder them for hours in front of the magazine stand, but not no more!

SNOWPIERCER

I didn't just watch the movie, I watched the Netflix show, too!

THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT

SEEING RED

Young Whisky

"Are you sure?" said my father. "That's an awfully busy background!"

Of course I was sure. It was 1982, dammit!

THE INVITATION

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

MINDHUNTER

Actually, Season 1 is better than Season 2. 

BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES

Actually, my Beautiful Assistant brought me the whole damn thing!

Contact Info

For some reason I have been locked out of my Yahoo email account. You may get me at dpreimer@gmail.com. But you already knew that, Dear Reader!

THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE

STAR TREK: VOYAGER

Joss Whedon

I was watching Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. And rewatching Firefly. Both of these are Joss Whedon products, but there can only be one Firefly, Dear Reader! In the Special Features of Firefly Whedon talks about how difficult the series was for marriages. Nobody is laughing now. 

"'Stick 'em up!"

AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.

Post-Hemorraghic Stroke Update

I don't read like I used to. If it were up to me I'd be blogging about the anniversary edition of A Year With Swollen Appendices  or Runaway College, but I don't (in the village there was a guy who would greet me with "The hippies have taken over Rochdale!"). 

But that's another story, Dear Reader!

GODLESS

I've seen it twice before, actually. 

NORM MACDONALD HAS A SHOW

Actually, I've seen it before. 

RIPLEY

The version with Matt Damon, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jude Law sucks! The version with John Malkovich rules!

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

MANIAC

STRANGER THINGS

Please only watch the first season. 

JUSTIFIED: CITY PRIMEVAL

THE LEGO MOVIE

The real Get Smart of movies! Except for the last five minutes with Will Ferrell. Those are kind of pathetic. 

LUTHER: THE FALLEN SUN

TROY

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: THE MOVIE

I'm seeing this again too, actually. 

TROY

STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE

I'm watching it again, actually. 

ELVIS

MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE

HEREDITARY

I actually saw this in a movie theatre... 

BROOKLYN 99

F IS FOR FAMILY

BIG VAPE

ALIEN: PROMETHEUS

THE MAN FROM UNCLE

"I can sing, I can dance, I can fly..."

THE BEAR

RIP, M. Emmet Walsh, 1935-2024

Long live M. Emmet Walsh.

Confession...

BABYLON BERLIN

Liv Lisa Fries is the very definition of, "Teutonic."

STAR TREK: SPACE SEED

I tell you Dear Reader, it's Comfort Food.

The first movie is good, of course. The second one is garbage. But after that the others are pretty good, too.

INDIANA JONES & THE DIAL OF DESTINY

GODFATHER OF HARLEM

FURY

BAND OF BROTHERS

THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT

BETTER CALL SAUL

In Better Call Saul Rhea Seehorn's Kim Wexler provides much of the show's energy. The truth is other characters are more alive when they are in Saul Goodman's immediate orbit. 

I don't mind admitting: I was affected for days after I finished watching the final episode of this show.  

Better Call Saul can be streamed on Netflix. Watch it -- if you dare. 

FOOL ME ONCE

BREAKING BAD

"I AM the the one who knocks!"

STRANGER THINGS

SICARIO

The film was directed by a French-Canadian, no less. 

THE MITCHELLS VS. THE MACHINES

Hey, that's me!
