What are you watching?

Jesus! ...Yesterday the Habs got beaten real good by the Rangers; two to seven!
I know why; in the Rangers' camp there is solemnity reigning right now, and that is a very powerful aura.
It is their sincere motivation coming directly from their heart and soul; the main key to success. ...Whoever has got the most of it wins!

Last night ::



Something solid "sound" in it; true consonance in the facts of war and peace between. ...Inspiring.
{Released in 1975}
 
Her was not available on Redbox, so my brother and I watched the Wolverine movie (second one) in 3D and The Music Man. It sounds silly, but the first thing I enjoyed was having my house back after construction. I might have been able to watch John Carter and be happy! The Wolverine was an OK movie, nothing special and I do love the Music Man.

I've got to turn you Canadian guys on to the REAL sport of baseball!!!!! :)

PS: Criterion just announced that All That Jazz will be released on Blu ray and 4K
 
I played baseball (in a league) for few years when I was a young dude. ...And later on for fun with friends at a local park (a fun league this time around, not as serious as the one from my youth).

I also went to the baseball games every weekend for few years; the big hitters league. ...Under the viaduc (bridge). ...Again, in my younger youth. ...With my bro, and friends. ...And checking on the girls too.

- 'The Wolverine' (Blu-ray, 3D) is much better than 'X-Men Origins Wolverine'
- 'The Music Man' (BD) - Right on!
- 'John Carter' (Blu-ray, 3D) has not much redeeming value.
- 'All That Jazz'; comin' on Blu - I knew that. ...But 4K, really?

* Another time you'll had the chance to see 'Her' ... She ain't going anywhere but remaining inside your PC. ;)

Cool that you pop up like that Barry; it is rather quiet here.

Sorry , Golf. A good friend of mine (DJ) is making a move at the Bryon Nelson.

A friend of mine (CB from back East) was a pro golfer; now he is a golf announcer (sport analyst) for a sport TV channel.
My Mum's boyfriend was a pro golfer; he is still working @ a golf course, organizing tee offs and all that jazz, and with a PC.

I spent all my summers @ my local golf course, caddying and playing once a week. ...I did that with my bro for about eight years. We were getting up in the morning @ 5:00 AM, making our lunch and riding our bicycles to roughly five miles.
One day I caddied 54 holes. ...On an annual tournament with the players from the Expos, the Alouettes, and the Habs.

I used to watch golf on TV, with Dad, and later on alone; because like baseball it's not a given for everyone having the patience. Tennis too I used to watch.

Today I watch more outside than inside. :)

Happy Victoria Day! ...Canadian holiday? ...Most likely. ...And who was she anyway?

Watching golf on TV is at best boring unless you play the game, but Tennis, the back and forth and standing in a box for hours ( and no cart girl) is a horrid affair, not to mention its gets weird watching the crowd at the event , heads moving back and forth for hours :weird:
 
The people who watch Golf, Baseball, Tennis, Soccer, Basketball, Ping Pong, Poker, ... on TV, are some of the best love makers on the planet. :heart:
{Hockey and Football and Boxing are different though.} -------------------------------------------------------------- ;-)

Revisited ::



Some people listen to music that they listened to before, some people do the same with watching movies.
Some people listen to new music all the time, and the same with watching movies.
Some people do both, with both music and movies. ...New (unknown, never listened to/watched) and old (known and previously listened to/watched).

I'm sure that you experienced situations in which you were well predisposed to listen to an album that you listened to before and with a renewed interest.
...Same for watching a flick that you saw before; in which the moment that you revisited it was ripe for a renewed interest (joy, reward, satisfaction, emotional value, new elements, etc.).

The human predisposition is probably the most important tool in audio (music listening), in cinema (movie watching), and in love (lovemaking).

And some of us we like this and that, and others like that and this.

* It was good to revisit; I was in the right space at the right time on/in the right mood (predisposition). And it's a good/fun/action flick.
 
"Casting BY" is a documentary film I saw on Friday. It is first about the history of casting directors in Hollywood and how their roles changed for TV in the late 1950s. I featured MANY stars, including Clint Eastwood and Dustin Hoffman all of whom got their starts in small roles on TV including The Naked City and Route 66. The film later becomes an advocate for greater recognition at the Motion Picture academy for their efforts. As an advocacy film, it fails a bit because I began to lose interest, although I support their cause. It was a fun film to see.
 
No spoiler alert needed.

I saw the new X-Men film and I hope this is not a very strange review. I enjoyed it and would give it 3 out of four stars. This movie is one of the most plot heavy super-hero movies I have seen, that is, is has a large and lengthy story to tell.

It could also almost be considered another Wolverine movie, Mr. Jackman’s part is so imposing. And Jennifer Lawrence is becoming a huge star, her part was very much enlarged and she remain at the center of much of this movie.

So not to spoil it, I cannot tell you the plot. More than that, I cannot tell you the cast because that would give away so much of the plot. I will mention that Quicksilver appears an d his scenes are a lot of fun.

I will say that it very much reminded me of the Star trek movie with Chris Pine that came out a few years ago. If you saw X-Men First Class, you know that they were trying to reboot the series by taking into the past and now they add new elements to that, not unlike Star Trek.

The special effects were special, although a bit overdone at the end. And the acting, all the way around, was just special.

And stay until the very end of the credits! Oh and Len Wein, co-creator of the Wolverine has a small part. I didn’t see Stan Lee.

The story was based on a two part X-men story from 1980, with a “future” shown of 2013, last year! The movie takes place in 2024. The movie takes important elements from the story, but as I said, gives the Wolverine and Raven (Jackman and Lawrence) the leading parts. The comic does not end as neatly as the movie.

The movie was fun, especially if you liked the first 3 X-Men movies.

Barry, Jennifer Lawrence; not a fan.

X-Men old series; ok. ...Newer rebooted X-Men; not really. But I'm sure that eventually I might get the Blu (#2 reboot) for cheap.
True, X-Men series (old and new) are a reminder of Star Trek, and Star Wars too (6 films).

Based on a true story.
 
Why not? Tom Cruise has made, IMO, some good SciFi movies.

Right now I am 'watching' my stereo. My poor HT is being so neglected now that I have my new stereo speakers. :)
 
Seems to be too "robotic" to me; even the music score.

I never watch my stereo; I listen to the sound (music) emanating from it. I use my ears and soul and imagination; not my eyes in those instances. :)
