I admit it: stuff went down, I had to set priorities, HOBBS & SHAW was not a priority. Sounds like I missed some primo popcorn time, though. That’s on me. Also: I keep wanting to write that out as ‘Hobbes.’

Not gonna lie, here. There’s one point in the HARLEY QUINN trailer (NSFW) when I laughed out loud when I realized what had happened. Can’t watch it, wouldn’t watch it, absolutely won’t have it around the kids — but I laughed. Because there’s some things you just don’t do in a super-battle, and what happened there was at the top of the list.

Soil of the Tarnished Bounty

Description: about a pound or so of soil, reddish-black in color, stored in a bag made from a dubious leather.  It is perpetually damp to the touch, leaving an unpleasant smelling stain that cannot be removed by any kind of cleanser.   Any stain that comes from casual contact with flesh will eventually fade away as new layers of skin form, but long-term users of Soil of the Tarnished Bounty can end up with a mark that goes all the way down to the bone marrow.

I know that a lot of services start out with clumsy launches, but that number seems kind of ridiculous. Also, after flipping through the list: I’m not really sure who wants to shell out a hundred and thirty bucks to access these games, particularly if they already have all of the ones that they want anyway. Sure, I get the idea of cross-platform support. But I guess that I just don’t care about it?

Well, Maybe my kids will when they’re my age. But for right now it just seems like the sort of early-adopter thing that you should let somebody else scream at the monitor for a change. It’s bad enough that I have to have Steam, GoG, and Epic.

I’m not sure that rebooting FANTASY ISLAND as straight-up horror — or, sure, rebooting it at all — was the way to go, but here we apparently are.

If I do see it, it’ll be because of Michael Pena. I like the dude. I think that he should get a suit or something else cool in the next Ant-Man flick*. Maybe give him a super-power, hey? Even limited flying would be the best thing ever for the guy.

*You realize, of course, that at some point someone will ask Luis what he did during the Snap. A hush will come over the theater when that blessed moment occurs. Because it will be sublime.

Back on the treadmill! Getting there, getting there. Probably gonna be some vampire sexin’ later this week, though, so never mind my self-shocked look. Snippet here.

Well. It does:

Yeah, I know: SCOOB! is for kids. And I am forever spoiled by [email protected]: MYSTERY INCORPORATED. And I don’t care.

Very complicated weekend, this should have gone up yesterday, we’re going to put up Bob Heinlein’s Glory Road with a reminder to myself that I should reread it. Because, yeah, it’s been complicated for the last few days. Ain’t getting into it otherwise, except to note that I am very lucky in my marriage.
