Got billed by a plumber for services that never happened. Called them and they asked if I was sure no one was here. Like buddy I don’t think someone broke in and worked on my sink.

Saw Resident Evil last night. Incredibly shot. Cregger focusing on first and third person over the shoulder angles REALLY made it feel like a video game. Also using the snow as a blank canvas for lights will always look amazing. Short, action packed, and great overall.

Picked up a non working PS3 slim for $30. Figured I had the cables on hand so I took a crack at it. Got it cleaned, running, and playing games again. Also that boot count. 3700 times? This thing was powered on once a day for over ten years!

Haven’t shared this yet but last night we got word my stepdad died in a motorcycle accident. We’re doing fine and I want to be there for my mother. It was just so sudden. Hard to believe ya know.

It’s been a while. Time to hang another jersey in the bathroom rafters. After five consecutive minutes of generative AI scenes I knew they could do it. Congrats, Bone Keeper!

Top 70 #movies of 2025: 1/70 Bugonia Stunning. Exceptional acting. Soundtrack is perfect and elevates. Not a Yorgos fan but wow. Just wonderfully shot. Every twist makes you doubt yourself and what happens next. Ending night miss for some but landed for me. Is she? No…maybe? #moviesky #filmsky

It’s $2 Tuesday at the Indiana State Fair y’all! Already had a corn dog and a funnel cake! Plus watched them do the cattle contest AND a dog jumping competition. Those dogs really loved that water.

Top 70 #movies of 2025: 2/70 The Long Walk Incredibly grounded and real. Intrapersonal dialogue is great. Kids trying to keep busy. Even the rude ones are relatable. No lore dump. This is the world. Mile markers in disrepair and run down towns. Ending was sooo close to great. #moviesky #filmsky

Top 70 #movies of 2025: 3/70 One Battle After Another A complex epic that never feels confused. Audio and visual composition really does a lot here. Excellent shots and music. Great performances. One story piece to the next. Flows very well with memorable characters. #moviesky #filmsky

Top 70 #movies of 2025: 4/70 Weapons Told and laid out as a horrific fairy tale. Brilliant drama about people. Excellent character work. Very tense. Genuinely creepy. Great use of shadows and holding shots to build dread. Layers in shots and structure. Ending of the year. #moviesky #filmsky

Top 70 #movies of 2025: 5/70 Bring Her Back Gonna need a shower afterwards. Truly horrific movie physically, mentally, and emotionally. It scars multiple layers. Aussie Horror Rule. Teen cast; adults bad. Parts frustrated me but a solid one. Hard to watch. No reception? #moviesky #filmsky

How’s your day going? I just had someone try to explain to me honey is bad for the environment and actual real honey doesn’t exist. Anywhere.

Top 70 #movies of 2025: 6/70 It Ends Four characters in search of an exit. Micro budget that nails it by knowing what it can do. Mystery drives it but this is a character piece. Don’t expect scares. Just dread. When I realized what the movie was saying I just sat there, damn. #moviesky #filmsky

Top 70 #movies of 2025: 7/70 Superman A love letter to Superman. Not another origin. Just tells a story. Not a Superman fan but I loved it. The performances truly felt like a comic. Embraced the silly without making fun of it. Wouldn’t cut anything. Was paced out very well. #moviesky #filmsky

Superman “Look Up” movie poster.

What a 24 hours. Went and saw Weird Al and Puddles Pity Party with Alli. Then the next morning hospitalized for a kidney stone. Doing better now so no one worries. Just a very strange day.
