Speaking of Home Video

We got Crang!

It’s that time of year again when the tap water smells like fishy lake water. #RatherBeInFlint #TooSoon

I watched The Martian on home video again, for the fourth time. I’ve always said it was one of my top 5 favorite movies, but I think I might have to rethink that status . . . I’m really under selling it.

The new suicide squad trailer isn’t as good as the last one. But I’m glad they went “back to the well” for another Wayne’s World soundtrack song.

Self-lacing shoes in 2016. Rober Zemeckis is so stupid

I watched Everest with Jake Jillinhunk and then I was still jonesing for some authentic high-altitude mountain climbing action. Time to re-watch a little vertical limit. As I told leedog, it’s got the guy who plays Grandma Tarkin in the next movie in the “star wars story” series. A series I’ve grown very fond of, over the years. I also told leedog I just can’t take a movie seriously that includes Bill Paxon. I know, I know you say “What about the classics . . . Titanic, Aliens, Apollo13 or Weird Science?” Game over man.

By the way, Leedog was also very satisfied to correct me and point-out that Grandma Tarkin is not the same actor who played the bad guy from Vanilla Sky. They are just Dinglehoppers. And if your picturing the guy in your mind who played Bruce Wayne in Batman Forever, your wrong Kurt Russell was the “Good Guy” in Vanilla Sky. Technically the protagonist is the good guy, but you know what I mean. The guys from Real Genius was “a” good guy. I think.

#IHadADream I went to mass on Saturday evening instead of my usual Sunday morning. And good thing I did because I bumped into my old pals the Ghostbusters. The three original Ghostbusters were there. Of course I had been the fourth Ghostbuster, back in the day, not Ernie Hudson. The gang was getting back in business and they invited me over to the firehouse to see their new operation. They wanted to try it out on me. I said no way because of course ghostbusting means they hit you coming in the door with chloroform and then when you're in a state of semi-consciousness they hypnotize you and thinking you see ghosts. Then of course they go in and take care the ghosts, which never existed to begin with. So anyway, finally in the end I did decide to go and see their new operation and be a test subject because I'm a sucker for being involved with the gang.

Indy 5 . . . nuff said

2016. The year Stew bought his first mp3.  Yay for Stew, you’re not entirely stuck in the 90’s.

On a totally unrelated note . . . favorite new song (not new favorite song) is Impossible Winner. Jack White can sure knock them out of the park. He may be the new “king” we’ve been waiting for since Elvis and Michael died.

We don’t have to call them the Wachoiski “Siblings” anymore . . . I think

Antman riding a Jeremy Renner arrow like a horse . . . I’m all in. #CivilWar

Too bad Terrance Howard has to die though. You know what they say, “To make an omelet . . . “ #CivilWar

Homemade taco dog. Tasted even better than it looked.

I keep hearing radio ads for “God’s Not Dead Too” That doesn’t seem like proper grammar.

The problem I have when I find a new song that I totally love (like totally) is I listen to it about 50 times, #SuicideSquad style . . . then I hate the song forever. *dead inside emoji* #DeadWeather

I tried tartar sauce for the first time. Not a big fan.

The boys are watching the 6 previous Rocky movies in preparation for Creed. Just finished Rocky Part 4. I’ll stand by what I said before, Drago did nothing wrong but he was painted as such a villain in that movie. Lay off him. #iHeartDolph

I finally took Leedog up on his 18 year ago recommendation to watch “A Simple Plan”.

On a totally unrelated note . . . I’m on Prozac . . . Thanks Leedog *cue the trombone*

I finally took Noura up on her 18 month ago recommendation to watch “What We Do In the Shadows”.

On a totally unrelated note . . . I like Stew

On an even more totally (like totally) unrelated note . . . I like turtles.

#IHadADream that I got a new gun. I was so excited about it that I wanted to show it to everyone, so I ran around waving it in people’s faces as I approached them quickly.

Star Wars came out

I’ve never eaten a McChicken without regretting it afterward . . . except for maybe that time Kent went for a McChicken-run at 3:00 A.M. during a poker game at my house.

It’s definitely not an exaggeration to say that I’ve seen the Bohemian Rhapsody Suicide Squad Trailer at least 50 times. I think I could just loop it for 2 hours and I’d be content on the couch with popcorn and Juju Bees.

Maze Runner Part 2 was actually pretty good. I think I even liked it better than the first one.

Make that 51 times. . . I don’t think I even care about the new Superman Move. I wish Suicide Squad was coming out in March instead.

More like a small SMALL moon

Lara asked me what kind of pop to get at the store. I said any kind you want, as long as it’s name brand, caffeinated, no-calorie, non-pepsi and comes in a 12 ounce can.

Sweet, they are finally making a movie version of my favorite board game. #TomHardy

The third part of the planned Pee Wee Trilogy is coming out. I’m so excited, it looks great. How does Pee Wee actually look younger than he did 30 years ago.

If my mom ever knew that I owned one of those funny haired trolls as kid, she would have doused me with light fluid, set me ablaze and thrown me out a 5^th story window to cleanse my soul. #FlashBackTo1989

Ugh! Why do I always feel terrible afterword.

#IHadADream that I found a secret second floor in our single story office building. It turns out that my company condemned the 2^nd floor when they bought it. They destroyed the staircase so no one would ever know about it. But I was able to find it the 2^nd floor by crawling through the ceiling tiles, “Lee and Stew” Style. Once up there, I found some homeless guys who lived there, but it turned out that they were actually undercover homeless guys working for the drug cartel from Sicario. I got mixed up in a big turf war and Emily Blunt had to teach me how to protect myself with an M-16.

This week’s issue of Humpday Hoopla is not very good. I’m totally mailing it in. But it’s been a while, so I thought we needed one. (Sorry to break the 4^th wall).

I like to set the bar low.

What happened to November? #amiright

Jonah said, “I watched the beginning of Rocky IV, Uncle Paulie gets a pet robot . . . spoiler alert.”

I can’t believe the #Chiefs are going to win the super bowl in the same year the #Royals took home the series. I told Jason it’s like the time Utah had the first overall pick in Football and Basketball . . . oh snap that was Alex Smith . . . It was meant to be.

#FlashbackTo1996 Adam rolled his desk chair over his Tomb Raider CD-ROM disc and cracked it in half. Then he returned it to the store citing: disc defective due to giant crack.

#CountdownTo2012 The biggest movie event in history is here. It’s going to be spectacle like nothing else. Ever. #TheForceAwakens

Did you ever think that everyone in a galaxy far far away might actually be at a much different scale than us. A womp rat is said to be a little bigger than two meters, but maybe a meter is one astronomical unit to us. Which would make Darth Vader, like, I don’t know, 100 feet tall! (I’m no mathematician).  Or maybe a womp rat is like two angstroms, and therefore BB-8 might be a nano-bot if he were on earth. Maybe they’ve traveled here, but we can’t see them. Maybe calling a droid a bot is an insult to them. BB’s all like, “you can’t call me the B-word, only R2 and 3P can call me a bot.” And I’m all like, “It’s cool, I’ve got friends that are droids.”  . . . you just don’t go there.

#IHadADream it was mayfly season. The bathroom window had been left open. A whole bunch of mayflies came into the bathroom. It reminded me of one year prior, when I collected all the mayflies that flew into the bathroom and I fried them up in the skillet with butter and ate them for dinner. My dream was a lot grosser than it sounds. It so grossed me out, that when I finally awoke from the nightmare, I felt physically nauseous for the entire morning.

#IHeartTheLibrary

I saw #TheMartian again last night. It wasn’t any better than the first time I saw it.

#JupiterAscending was pretty good. I’d say the #ChanningTatem roller skates were pretty cool, but it was no hoverboard. #MartyMcFly #BTTFDAY #BackToTheFuture

I think #TheMartian might be the best movie I’ve ever seen.

Yeah, those are Lolo codes. #NES #80s

I know Wrath of Khan is widely regarded as the best (and it probably is), but for whatever reason, whenever I sit down roll on some Undiscovered Country, I always find it so gosh darn enjoyable.

I sometimes sit and wonder if #OffRoad is the best game of all time.

#WatchMojo didn’t even have #2001 as an honorable mention for best movie of all time #WTFMate

#WashingtonDC was great. I ate at #Popeyes three times! Oh, and I saw some other stuff

These were the best I could do, prior to the eclipse, holding my iPhone up to my binoculars. #Supermoon #SuperBloodMoon #CountdownTo2012

#IHadADream I was a major mob boss (think Tony Soprano). The FBI made a surprise appearance at my house to search the joint (they do this all the time). I smugly said, “feel free to look around all you want” as I pretended to not be interested and I sat on the couch reading the paper (do they still make “papers”?). Anyway, I always kept the place “clean”. They truly were never going to find anything, except . . . for the sledgehammer that I would always keep in plain sight, leaning against the wall, just daring them to examine (but they never did). The head of the sledge hammer was crimson in color, due to the dried blood that I intentionally don’t clean off.

I still remember seeing #Scream at the movie theater. I must have been about 15, the perfect age for the #WesCraven classic. #Rip

Ziggy, the supercomputer from the future in #QuantumLeap (10 years into the future which is now our past) could operate at a Trillion floating points per second, which is actually pretty right-on for where computing ended up being (although we are now way past that). But I found it funny that Ziggy’s Random Access Memory was one Jiggabyte.

Another one bites the dust

Why does my inbox keep getting cluttered with emails about something called clutter?

They guessed the date wrong in #IAmLegend . . . idiots.  I see now how #BatmanVSuperman will entangle with #SuicideSquad . . . clever DC/WB. #WillSmith

Every few years I see a movie that has me hooked in the first few minutes or even seconds. The last one I saw a couple years ago was #SoundOfMyVoice then this weekend I saw #ExMachina

My biggest beef with Back to the Future Trilogy was when Doc first poured the beer into Mr. Fusion, then dropped the can in. Why didn’t he just drop the can in there in the first place? #glaring #CompletelyRuinsFranchise

#IHadADream I was being chased by the biggest Transformer in the universe. Mark Walberg kept calling him “Biggie”. He called him that, not because he was big but because when said Transformer died, we were all sad, Puff Daddy Style. It turned out Biggie wasn’t really trying to kill me, because when he took human-form as Gary Busy, he tried to inject me with Sodium Pentothal.
