Starting to feel as though I waited to late to work on my physical health, resulting in aging counteracting any progress I might have otherwise made, a stalemate between the inexorable march of entropy over time and my efforts to stymie that process.

Not for nothing, but it's really starting to look like the only way I'll ever be able to afford to leave this job is death...and that's not even the least appealing prospect at the moment.

I hadn't given it much thought until you posed thos question...and the first name that came to mind was Fluffy, specifically after the monster from 1982 Creepshow's segment The Crate.

Found out yesterday that instead of my annual appraisal bonus, I'm getting an increase in pay. Which would be great if I was remotely planning at staying at this job. I was counting on that bonus to help finance my escape from this fucking dead-end death-trap of a job.

2007's "Pathfinder". It is a deeply flawed movie in its representation of both Indigenous Americans and the Norse, but I think the premise is very interesting in its exploration in the film and I find it hard to find fault in either Karl Urban or Clancy Brown's work.

Every single day that Labour doesn't reverse the puberty blocker ban they are signalling their subscription to an approach to trans healthcare that has irrefutably led to a dramatic increase in suicides of young trans people. That's what you voted for, if you voted for Labour.

People will make big noise about "encouraging someone to be their most authentic self is the best way to love them"... ...but then everyone complains when they have to eliminate witnesses, hide bodies and/or provide bail money. (some of us aren't our "authentic selves" to avoid prison)

I think the thing that frustrates me the most about The Hobbit Trilogy is that we almost got a full Guillermo Del Toro version of the Hobbit (which I think Goblintown and the Goblin King might have been leftovers from) and I would have loved to see how that would have played out in its entirety.

I think I personally would have gone 3 1 3...I really felt the second movie was a slog at times, particularly with the activity in Laketown, but I dug how the final film was basically one action scene after another, even if a lot of that was wonky CGI.

As you noted in your review, Martin Freeman and Ian McKellen carry most of this trilogy on their back, but I enjoy the various bits and pieces that stand out to me and there are some pretty good acting and fun action shots in these three movies.

Okay, with this in mind, I will speak my piece - The Hobbit Trilogy isn't nearly as bad as people give it credit for. It is over-long, the CGI tends towards a clunkiness that wasn't evident in the LotR Trilogy and there's a pointless romance jammed into it...but it isn't unwatchable.

The only reason I'm awake at midnight these days is because I've been working a night shift schedule for over a decade. Otherwise, I suspect I'd be the old fogey calling it a day at like 9PM at the latest.

I can't tell if bug season has just been really quiet here, if I haven't been outside enough to experience it or if climate change is just murdering all out local bugs, because I haven't really been effected by anything this season yet.

Some of the verses in there just go...very perpendicular away from the presumed premise of the song, which is jarring but also fascinating. Just like 90° into "Where are we going with this? Just out into ether, Luda? Okay, we ball, let's do this."
