The fun part about E3 Sunday

Is that Microsoft does their thing in the mid afternoon and I am trying to blog that(and as they dropped goo gobs of games it ain easy this year) and then of course I have to get ready for Bethesda. For the quick and dirty, Microsoft dropped the name of Project Scorpio Xbox One X, the release date 11/7/17 and the price 499.99. Yeah Microsoft got on it, they also dropped 42 games 20+ that were Xbox exclusives and many with Xbox One X enhancement.

So when I tell you I am hauling booty to try and put all the trailers some mini descriptions as well as some of my thoughts on all this graphical goodness I am. The problem is, I have laundry to do and Bethesda starts in about 20 minutes. And if you watched Bethesda's show last year you already know that when Microsoft goes ham, so do they. Like this is an all hands on deck situation, EA had to be nice on Saturday they couldn't spill any beans, but Bethesda is the school gossip who was just on the toilet when the head cheerleader admitted to how she passed her last class. It's about to go down.

So I hope everyone had a good weekend and I am typing as fast as I can, of course you can find all this over on Wonderful World

Hey Folks, Sorry for the delay

The weather has been crazy, stuff in the midsouth has been running rampant and I owe you a few blogs, I just posted the trailer blog for guardians vol 2, At some point in time today I will do the trailer blog for Wonder Woman, and after that I will work on the reviews for both movies, I know I need to get on it it was just a lot of work the last few weeks and we have all been really drained.

I'm back now, and no I wasn't going to do a cop out and not finish the trailer blog(even though I have been gone over a month but hey E3 is coming, which of course will be blogged over on Wordpress just in case I want to curse a few times) and just leave it as a throwback post, which I don't have as many old unfinished posts as I used too. which is good. Anyway I need to do a few blogs about new games I am playing, Need to do the reviews for those, talk about books I'm reading (American Gods, the show is good the book is better so far), as well as maybe a few Season Finales of some of my current favorite TV shows.

Anyway as I have dropped one hopefully I have a few more in me before I fall into another slump, hope you've been well, thanks for stopping by, oh and hey Leave a comment here and there, take a poll, have some fun, I know I will.

The trailers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2(delayed)

Yes, it is Friday. In case you are wondering we saw GotG V2 on opening weekend, I just was out of it this week. So yes, the trailer post is late, the movie review is late it's just a whole round mess. We are gonna get through this though.

Over there at the Malco Paradiso we got 5 trailers with Guardians, 3 sequels, on Tie in movie, and a period piece. The period piece looks crazy and depending on what else comes out around it I may or may not go see it but the other 4 are all on my list for 2017. Enough stalling, here are the five movies let me know what you are interested in.

Heavy Work month, Slow on the movies

I know I have been absent so far this April but work has been hell. Lots of driving, lots of crazy electronic mishaps, but haven't really gone to the movies. There really wasn't a "Gotta see it" I thought about going to "Ghost in the Shell" but the more I heard about the movie the less it appealed to me. From what I can tell GitS is apparently the most unselfaware but best example of exactly what every one is complaining about movie out there. It's basically White Washing, the movie. Scar Jo, plays the title character, has many of the scenes from the original Animated Movie that started the craze, when then sparked an animated tv show.

I'll probably watch it when it hits the streaming services. Then of course as my brother volunteered to go on the long distance trip this month we've got the munchkin for the weekend. And let me tell you this: Always buy a MOUNT for a TV Larger than the one you are trying to install. I mean I'm gonna spin the whole tale of Friday Nights hilarity, just not here, but when I tell you that if you ain got access to a young child's favorite digital distraction in this generation AIN NOBODY getting to sleep. Man that boy ran us all ragged, it was my fault I believed the box (NEVER BELIEVE THE BOX), the box LIED to ME. Smh and that boy refused to go to sleep in a quiet room. He had a tablet, his Lightning McQueen bubble shooter, a little Led wall light that we gave him as a night light and his own Dory Themed bed set. If I didn't know better I would swear his father gave him 24 hour delay no Doz he had so much energy. His bad butt Friday night seemed like vengeance for all the times I SUPPOSEDLY took him out to hang out with his uncle and POSSIBLY plied him with sugar. There is also an accusation of him drinking my coffee one time(never happened to MY knowledge, I think Eikichi just made that up to make me seem like a horrible older brother.

Yes I buy the munchkin Starbucks, BUT he gets the cookies(loves the snowmen, HATES the Brownies), is okay with the cake pops, and is agreeable to their Hot chocolate. What, I'm his uncle he hangs out with me from time to time. Anyway, HOPEFULLY lazy Sunday ahead.

Happy Friday all

The Power Rangers review just dropped. It is a stuffy day, with heavy sneezing, and light tearing(my folks with allergies will understand) it's mildly sunny and cool actually. I will TRY and get into what I was talking about yesterday afternoon with my post about anime and the slight westernization of the characters, I may have to head to Barnes and Noble first to do a little bit of research into how characters are drawn in Mangas, because I am not much of a manga reader. I understand HOW to read Manga, at the moment I just don't want to read that way fucks with my immersion I am not saying anything against Manga readers Eikichi loves Manga, I am just not with that "wave" at the moment.

But yes as an Anime fan and a fan of Super Hero movies it is an exciting time, it is also time to take a good look at our favorite characters/stories/franchises/media and critique them honestly when they tell bad stories, make bad casting decisions, make obvious cash grab movies, or possibly tell less than fulfilling stories with our favorite formerly counter and now popular culture icons.

You must protect the Zeo Crystal

Earth the Paleozoic era, a great battle has ensued because the Power Rangers have been betrayed by one of their own:The Green Ranger. Rita Repulsa has attacked her fellow rangers in an effort to capture the Zeo crystal of Earth and increase her powers, Zordon and his fellow rangers had attempted to stop her, but she was much too strong for them. In an effort to save the planet and the crystal Zordon grabs his fellow Rangers power coins, buries them, and has the dutiful Alpha 5 call down a meteor. This Meteor Knocks Rita into the proto ocean and obliterates all signs of the mighty battle that was fought.

Which brings us to a few weeks ago in Angel Grove, Jason the star Qb, Captain of the football team, and everybody's favorite guy is about to blow it all, for about 15 minutes of fun. That ladies and gentleman brings us to today's detention, Jason is dropped off by his dad, wearing and Ankle Bracelet and a knee brace as he is doing he is stuck paying for his crimes. On his way down to detention he passes Kimberly, a cheerleader and a cutie. When he gets downstairs he sees Billy a young autistic boy being picked on, he doesn't know Billy, really doesn't care he just doesn't truck with bullies. After backing down the young wanna be tough, he sits down not to far from Billy. Kimberly gets a text messages and asks to be excused to the bathroom, there she finds some of her cheerleader pals, who in what can only be described as a poor attempt at a mean girls impression tell her they are done with her and basically taunt her hoping she ends her life. She stairs at the scissors handed to her longingly and then makes a DRASTIC change to her appearance(well, only drastic because everybody saw her walk in with a different hair style). The three teens have nothing in common but detention, but as only fate could have it that was until this very Dark and Starry night

Dear Readers

Hey, this week has been a bear. Finishing up a large site at my day job so the Power Rangers review is coming. It's just gonna be a couple of days late, it was basically get home, fire up my laptop type a few sentences and crash, yes even the night owl is human. For those who want a quick synopsis: Go see it. It's a fun movie, it takes great care to balance the weight of the responsibility with the fun of first finding out you have super powers.

Yes there is teenage angst, yes THIS is the Power Rangers team Zordon ORIGINALLY asked for in the show. They aren't you perfect paragons, they are basically the breakfast club with super powers(yes that will be in the review). Some people had a problem with the Megazord (Eikichi, BUT I will back my youngest brother on this it's not exactly the classic) but the team was fun and the actors did an awesome job.

Next up SHOULD be Ghost in the Shell, I don't know if Smooth will be there, he kind of flaked on us last weekend(work related though) but we are all anime fans and Westernizing anime characters aside it will hopefully be a fun romp. And I may get into that in a later blog, because it does beg for a certain amount of discussion because if you have ever WATCHED an anime, characters tend to be Racially Ambiguous or else have features not regularly seen in Asians(Blond Hair, Blue eyes, Orange hair, Red Hair) but again that will be discussed later.
