Tech: Threads and Why I Won’t be Using it

There is this new social media craze called Threads. It seeks to be an alternative to twitter or x as it is now known. Ever since twitter went to hell, people have been looking at something that they feel could best replace it. Is Threads that thing? Well, I won’t be using it myself. And I’ll explain why.

 

You see, the main reason that I hate twitter now is because they let Trump back on it. You know who else also let Trump back on? Facebook. Why would I get an account through another Meta based site (Threads) when I don’t even like using facebook as much anymore? I won’t get on facebook on Fridays ever again (unless Trump is banned for good or dead). Thus, I won’t be using Threads.

 

There are other alternatives that people are using to twitter. One is mastodon, which I plan to use, but have not yet used. Hive social is another, but I can’t use that as I don’t have a phone that has apps on it. Plus, I wouldn’t want to use something designed for phones anyways. The third one that I know of is called tumblr. But that seems to have too much nudity on it in my mind from what I’ve heard. I like to stay away from that.

 

And there you have it. Another new, well, thread is here. I will not be taking part in it myself. We’ll see just how big of a thing it becomes. And I don’t seem to care too much. I haven’t had all that much interest in a lot of the existing social media sites like Snapchat, Instagram, Vine, TikTok, and others that I can’t think of at the moment. So why would I care about this?

Tech: If I Gave up Blogging for Lent

While what I give up for Lent always changes from year to year and has increased from time to time, it is worth noting that something that I could do in the future is give up blogging for Lent. I might not give up all of my blogs, just some of them.

 

The most ideal year for me to have done this was actually back in 2021, but this didn’t happen. I do not yet know if I will give up all of my blogs. I could avoid doing some of my blogs during this time and point to this post as to why I did this.

 

A site that I often go to promoted Trump content. While this site does randomized ads, meaning that anyone and anything could be promoted, I still gave it up for the rest of that month and all of the next. I will also give it up for Lent next year.

 

This could happen with imdb, the internet movie database. I haven’t known them to promote this type of content at all, but it could happen. Since I rely on that site exclusively for cast updates, I will skip any blogs during that time and give them up for Lent as well. Some may have exceptions as they could still be updated, just not cast updates in them. Others, I’d just ignore then explain later what went on. If there are OCD reasons why I do a blog, then I’ll keep doing them until I can give it up.

 

Ultimately, I won’t know for sure if I ever give up this or any other blogs that I do during Lent. I think that regardless of if I’m able to tell blog readers about it in advance or not, I’ll point readers of that blog to this blog post should it happen until Lent is over.

Bean: the Movie Review

While there are a lot of movies that I have seen that feature Peter MacNicol in them, this is one that I was expecting to be a bit different than it was. I like this movie, but I was expecting something more like Mr. Bean’s Holiday and this is very different despite featuring the same main character. I will cover this movie and get to its big and good moments in addition to the bad moments as well.

 

We begin with Bean shaving. People at an art gallery want to fire him. He gets in a rush. The people at the gallery also want to have someone hired over the purchase of Whistler’s Mother, the painting, as there is a sabbatical of sorts with it. The leader of the gallery doesn’t want him fired and says that he would rather resign before Bean is dismissed. They instead decide to send Bean on the sabbatical.

 

David, an official at the California art gallery, is convinced that Bean is the best person despite not knowing who it is. He as curator is told that it is his neck on the line if things go wrong. He wants Bean to stay there with him and tells his wife and kids about the plan. They don’t like it.

 

Bean gets on his flight in first class. Harry is shown other things given for this occasion such as a poster that’s the actual size of the painting and an exact replica. When Bean gets to the airport, he pretends to have a gun upon seeing officer’s guns and is chased by them after having tried to get away from them going the wrong way on a moving sidewalk. When he is caught by the police, he reveals that his weapon is just his hand. He could use medicine according to a cop there.

 

We then see Bean at David’s house. David’s wife wants Bean gone. Bean shows off his skill where he throws candy into his mouth where his mouth catches it to eat it. He later takes his underwear that he was heating in the oven for some, unexplained reason, out of the oven in front of the others.

 

David takes Bean to the art place. Bean gets distracted in the bathroom and causes a mess. One of the people that he sees later sees him being weird. Part of the front of his pants get wet and he tries to hide it from others by putting stuff in front of that area as the meeting takes place. He then walks in front of a fan which people notice. Bean has tried to explain how he’s not a doctor as they think that he is, but this does not happen right away for a while. Bean is told that he will be giving a speech. David is also told that Bean was his choice for the museum’s most important moment. This is a reminder that David is the one who has his reputation on the line.

 

Back at his house, David wants to make sure that Bean doesn’t mess with a crystal swan. He tells his wife Ally that Bean is still here, claiming that he never had the chance to bring up the subject. She leaves with the kids for their grandparent’s house after the swan and a picture wind up ruined.

 

The next day, Bean and David go to an amusement park and he isn’t thrilled by the ride of doom. He then makes changes to the ride the second time around. Since this causes issues, he is brought into a room and David is told to take responsibility for it by a cop there.

 

David is back home that night wanting to talk to Bean until company shows up. Bean is told to make a meal and a turkey for Thanksgiving (as it must be close to it in the movie’s time?) is the only food that is there. Bean is left alone with the turkey and his watch winds up in the turkey. He gets his head stuck in there while trying to get it out. David helps get the turkey out with the watch coming out as well. The two of them put the turkey in the microwave and it explodes.

 

This is when the two of them sit down and David learns that Bean isn’t a doctor nor does he know much about art. The next day, David is in the shower and Bean winds up in there with him. There is a phone right outside the shower, which I don’t think would ever happen in reality. After some awkwardness, Harry learns that the painting, Whistler’s Mother, has arrived. David tells Bean to act rational since it is reminded again that David’s career is on the line.

 

Back at the art gallery, Bean only seems to admire the frame of the painting as it is shown off for the first time in front of others. Speaking of the others, they decide to leave Bean alone with the painting for a weirdly long amount of time. That’s when things go terribly wrong.

 

Bean stands too close to the painting and sneezes onto it. And this is why I don’t stand too close to paintings and always sneeze away from them. I’m serious. He tries to get the mess off of it, but winds up getting ink onto it instead. He takes it away where it seems like he fixes it with paint thinner, but then a lot of the actual painting gets messed up and not just the blue ink spots. He rubs at it and ruins the face part of it. He takes it back to the gallery where it hangs when Harry walks in on him. Bean reveals the mess and David realizes that he can’t just blame Bean for this. They hide the painting away.

 

Both of them wind up drinking at the bar and show up to David’s place drunk where his wife and kids are back with Ally thinking that she has to leave them. An offhanded comment from David’s son makes Bean realize that he can save the day. He takes the supplies that he needs and sneaks into the museum where he slips laxative into the somehow only night guard’s drink while he does his work.

 

The next day, David’s daughter rides off on a motorcycle much to his horror. He wants to figure out a solution to the problem of the painting, unaware that it was already solved by Bean that night. He sees what appears to be the painting in its normal state. Bean secretly reveals that it was a poster. This creates a bit of a plot hole as it makes you wonder how and when Bean learned about this poster.

 

Bean then delivers a speech that is actually quite funny and is liked despite the fact that he made it up right on the spot. This is when a police officer comes and tells David about his daughter Jennifer being in an accident. This officer stops on the way to the hospital to help with a shootout as Bean and David go on to the hospital.

 

At the hospital, the night guard from earlier is there in the restroom, still having issues. Bean is told to stay there while David checks on his daughter. Bean tries to return a stethoscope to a doctor and winds up put in scrubs and taken to a surgery. He sees the cop from earlier, now a patient with a gunshot wound. While the others in the room leave Bean alone, Bean tries to eat a piece of candy like he did earlier in the movie by tossing it into the air and catching it with his mouth. Since he is in a mask, this falls off of that into the patient. He takes the bullet out first, but puts it back in. He finds the candy which he then rinses off and eats. The others return and Bean takes out the bullet with his hand again, much to the amazement of the others there.

 

Bean is still mistaken for a doctor, this time, the other type of doctor, as he is taken to Jennifer’s room and continues to do weird things while left alone with her and the others oblivious to his real identity. He accidentally wakes up Jennifer from her sleep and reveals who he is when asked how he can repay them for this. He asks to stay for a week.

 

He does more in LA and winds up thinking that the middle finger is a good sign since he gave a man a thumbs up and was given that in return. He must be a fan of Farscape, then. He bids farewell to David at the airport and returns to his place in London, apparently much sooner than the sabbatical was. We see him with the original painting, now damaged and at his place somehow. We also see him talk to us for a bit at the end of the credits if we stay there far.

 

There’s not much to say as I finish reviewing this movie. I think that a lot of it is good and worth watching over and over again. There are some bad parts as well as some of it is just gross and other parts simply aren’t funny. But this is an overall good movie that I recommend. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing off.

Cast Update 8-5-2023

Well, I barely finished this post in time and don’t really care about updating all of it to include the trailer talk that I want to so I’m just going to get this done and hope for the best that I can cover more in the next post. Let’s get to the first complete cast update of this blog since November!

 

Patricia Arquette: The main star of CSI: Cyber has future projects mentioned on imdb right now. She does a lot, or at least did in the past. We’ll see what all she will do in the future regarding shows she does. A new project that I see her as doing is Severance. She also seems to be in High Desert. Another project of hers that she is now doing is a project called Gonzo Girl.

 

Severance: This is a TV show. It is out now. The plot is about a company that is trying to take work-life balance to a new level, according to the internet movie database. That involves splitting their minds into two in a way. Here is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTqlZkvbNVg

 

Thoughts on trailer: Maybe this is the only trailer or maybe there will be more. Anyways, from what I can tell of this, it might be trying to go for something, but also doesn’t seem entirely original, even though I couldn’t tell you what else this might be like. It could be an interesting show or it could be very confusing. Are they really doing this of their own free will? It seems otherwise. I hope for more clarification later. But this could be a good show that I might never see.

 

High Desert: This is out now. It is about a former addict who becomes a PI after the death of her mother. Sorry that this hadn’t gotten its own part of this blog before. Now it finally does as I understand it now and so does imdb.

 

Gonzo Girl: This has no release date yet or trailer. It is about a struggling writer having to work as an assistant for a novelist with a reputation. This seems similar to stuff that might already exist, but could be fine outside of that.

 

Peter MacNicol: I can’t find much ever, if anything, for this actor. I hope that I can avoid saying things about him in a paragraph that could easily wind up outdated forever as I’ve been known for doing. So I came up with this one until the next project he’s in. He will also be in Home Delivery.

 

Home Delivery: In this movie, apparently a fat model is expecting her first child. It might not sound too weird or whatever. There is no release date or trailer for this yet. I’ll have to see it to see if this might be good or not.

 

James Van Der Beek: There’s nothing to add for him. It’s interesting how things change. He went from having so many projects that I started cutting one project from this blog because of him and now he does not have any to cover in this blog at all.

 

Shad Moss: Since there’s no future known projects of his to keep track of for the foreseeable future, I’m going to cover one of his music videos in each of these blog posts for the next set of blog posts in this section until he does something worth covering in this blog again. I won’t do this in every blog post in case I don’t have time for it. I’ll try not to have that problem if possible.

 

She’s My: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gi5KuTfH2o

 

Thoughts on video: This wasn’t a bad song or a bad video. I do hate the fact that there is a glare because I never like that in videos or pictures. I am confused why it seems like he was singing throughout most of this, but it seems like he isn’t singing or even lip syncing when the song is being done in the background. I remember seeing what was supposed to be a character singing when the actor wasn’t even attempting to lip sync and that video was somehow nominated for a creative arts Emmy. Anyways, I like the song and probably could never freestyle my words the way rappers do even as I can sing and rap. I’m always impressed by that.

 

Charley Koontz: He will be in something called Eat Your Heart Out. He will also be in Long December. That’s about it for now. We’ll see if he has more in the future or not. But that’s all that I can see of his at the moment in time.

 

Eat Your Heart Out: This has an unknown date of release at the moment. The plot will be a bit complicated as someone literally gave his heart away and needs to get it back in order to marry someone else. Seems strange, but I might like it. Still, it is a short and I don’t know how I’d be able to watch any of those. There’s a trailer for it now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfJTMnCT7Ps

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks kind of weird, but I guess that it works as an idea of what they can do with a film like this. I don’t know why a heart would be in pieces and can only hope that the cat didn’t eat any of them. I guess I’ll see if I can see what the short film is like if I’m able to see it.

 

Long December: This has no trailer at the time. It also has no release date. The plot right now relates to a struggling music artist trying to succeed at what he wants to do as the year comes to an end. That’s all that I can make sense of right now regarding it.

 

Hayley Kiyoko: She’s finally doing something! She’s set to be in The Patience of Vultures. I’m not sure what that means. But I guess that I’ll find out in the future, hopefully, maybe, we’ll see… or not…

 

The Patience of Vultures: This has no release date or trailer just yet. It is about a man who is lured into a small town where everyone has secrets and is up to something. I swear, no one from Hollywood has ever been to a real small town. What happened to towns like Mayberry? Do they not exist in the movies?

 

Ted Danson: Surely his time off of TV means that he could be doing movies in the meantime, but we’ll see if that happens soon or not. It looks like he is doing more now that I can finally see. He is in Curb Your Enthusiasm and that’s about it for now.

 

Curb Your Enthusiasm: This is a TV show on HBO. There isn’t too much to add to this section other than the fact that I would like to see this if only to see what this is about and if it is as good as people think that it is. Ted has been on it ever since it returned.

 

Anthony E Zuiker: After all of this time wondering if the creator of one of TV’s longest running franchises is ever going to work again, I see him listed as the producer in a project. He is set to help make something called Spearfinger. And there is good news in that he will have involvement in CSI: Vegas so his franchise remains in his hands.

 

Spearfinger: This has no release date at this time. I think that it will be a movie. It is about a Native American legend regarding a woman with sharp fingers who would like to frighten people. There might need to be more to the plot than that, so we will see for sure what will happen with this project later as more information becomes available. This isn’t on imdb anymore.

 

CSI: Vegas: Not much is known or could be known about this right now other than the fact that it is going to be a new part of the CSI franchise after five years without a franchise in around the 21^st anniversary of the franchise. It is on hiatus. It is pretty good in some cases.

 

CSI: Vegas: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I’m a fan of the CSI franchise so I wanted to watch this new one as well. Noteworthiness- This is a continuation of the original CSI, largely focusing on a new team, but also bringing back people from the original team returning. Description- We return to characters from the original show solving new mysteries and dealing with potential issues of old teammates. Notable People- This has a lot of the original cast returning, including William Petersen, Jorja Fox, and Wallace Langham. It is also created by the same franchise creator as the four previous shows, Anthony E Zuiker. Pros- I felt that this was quite a good show and worth keeping up with. Cons- It can be too mysterious for its own good and also could ruin what’s previously part of the franchise. Note to Parents- Don’t let preteens watch this, but teens and older can. Recommendation- This is good and worth watching. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch every episode about this to blog about it. Prediction- I don’t know if this is going to last now. You’d think that it would, but the main thing against it right now is whether or not it is just a short term plan in the end. It is going to last 10 episodes this season so we’ll wait to see if there will be more episodes and/or more seasons. Reception: great. Grade: B+.

Carol Mendelsohn: I will tell you about anything she is a producer of since I want to see something in these updates for her. I have no idea if there is something that she will be in, but I plan to keep track of what’s going on with her in the off chance that she does appear in something new. It turns out that she’s a producer in CSI: Vegas.

Ann Donahue: I have no idea how I missed this, but she’s in the new CSI: Vegas as well. I should have all of the main three CSI creators in this as they are all involved in some way (although, maybe not as much Anthony, which is weird), shape, or form. Still, enjoy this section on her that you’ve seen before with other people.

William Petersen: He hasn’t done much outside of CSI in the world of television or movies as far as I can tell. I think that he’s busy with stage work, the likes of which I will never see, probably. It turns out that he is still a producer of CSI: Vegas.

David Caruso: This CSI: Miami actor has done nothing in terms of acting for movies on TV since the show ended. This is because he is retired from acting. I’ll still keep him in the updates in case there is a change and he does wind up doing something notable in the future.

 

Gary Sinise: He has projects in the works like No Better Place to Die. That’s all that I seem him doing right now currently. I guess we’ll see in the future what else he might do. It could be a lot still or not that much in the end.

 

No Better Place to Die: This movie is about part of a battle during World War II. It has no release date or trailer at the moment. To date, Gary’s role is the only one that is in the movie right now and even his is just rumored so we’ll see what happens.

 

Anthony LaPaglia: I don’t know much else he could be doing as that doesn’t show up right now. Maybe he will do more or maybe not. One can only hope that he does more, but maybe he doesn’t need to. He’ll be in Antibody Heat. He’ll be in Boy Swallows Universe as well.

 

Antibody Heat: This is a comedy about the pandemic because that storyline hasn’t been done to death after production on shows resumed. Didn’t Connecting try this already? Anyways, it has no release date or trailer just yet.

 

Boy Swallows Universe: I want someone to read the plot of this on imbd and see if you can make a lick of sense out of it. It appears to have an unknown release date at this time and has no trailer. It also doesn’t seem to have Anthony in it outside of for one episode out of at least eight. But it is hard to tell for sure right now, if ever.

 

Laurence Fishburne: He’ll be in a TV movie called Rendlesham. He’ll be in another thing called Blacksmith. Yet another thing he’ll be in is Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. More things that he is doing are John Wick Chapter 4, Sneaks, and Slingshot. A long delayed thing he might be in is Black Water Transit. And, since he cannot possibly be in enough things at once, he will also be in The Sterling Affairs. Other new things he will be in are Megalopolis as well as Frank & Louis. Another new group of things that he is doing are Transformers One, The Amateur, Cellar Door, The Astronaut, and The Little Bedroom. I hope that’s all for now.

 

Rendlesham: This has no release date just yet. The plot relates to probably aliens in the 80s in England. I have no idea what network it might air on just yet. Hopefully, I will find out more about this in the future. We’ll see if this really is aliens or is something else entirely.

 

Blacksmith: This has a release year of 2023. In it, a man becomes a fugitive when his lab is destroyed. Hopefully, more will be revealed beyond that in the future and I hope that we’ll find out more then in the future. It could be good.

 

Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: This is out now. It looks like it would be a kid’s show based off of these characters and would be animated. There is not much else to say about this as I don’t know what network or streaming service this will be on yet and too much of this is still unknown at the moment. There is a trailer for this that I will get into now. This may be out now, but I’m unsure yet if it is.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy49g1E9_Uo

 

Thoughts on trailer: What am I even supposed to make of this? I’d have to say that I’m not sure that I’d want to watch this, but am waiting for a better trailer to take this one’s place to see if that would work instead. This seems too weird.

 

John Wick Chapter 4: This has nothing much revealed about it other than being a film in this series. I have no idea what this series is about. I only know that it exists. This is out now. Maybe I’ll have to do more research into this franchise now and if I’ll even be able to see the first three movies if I even like the fourth one. (Of course, I have to make sure that I don’t judge a movie too much if I haven’t seen over movies in the franchise first, as I had that issue initially with The Bourne Supremacy, having not seen the first movie in the franchise when I saw it.) There is a trailer for this that I will get into now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27EF723ZDmI

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks like it could be interesting and exciting. I just hope that it doesn’t go too heavy on the action that there isn’t much of a plot and thus reason for all of the action. We’ll also see if this makes sense without having seen the rest of the films of the franchise just yet.

 

Sneaks: In this animated movie, we see to see sneakers try to return to their owners. The release date is unknown. What else is there to say about this for now? I have no idea, but hope that we will see a lot more of this in the future.

 

Slingshot: This is about a mission to Saturn’s moon Titan with issues going on in the space movie. Is there any space movie that doesn’t have issues going on with it? I know that there has to be some sort of conflict. There is no release date of this yet.

 

Black Water Transit: In this movie, lots of criminals and law enforcement meet in regards to a shipment of illegal guns that a man is trying to get to his family’s safe haven. It was mostly filmed a long time ago so hopefully it will finally see the light of day. It doesn’t have a trailer. And, true to it being part of development hell, has no release date. This is gone from imdb.

 

The Sterling Affairs: This has a release year of 2023. It has no trailer just yet. It is about the downfall of Donald Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. It feels like a lot of shows, like this one (a miniseries), are about the downfall of someone or something. It doesn’t feel like we get enough stories of people gaining good things, like the movie that exists called American Underdog.

 

Megalopolis: This has no release date yet or trailer. The plot of this relates to New York City suffering a terrible disaster and then someone wanting to rebuild it. Ted Mosby to the rescue! It better be him. Or maybe it should be the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

 

Frank & Louis: This has no release date or trailer yet. It does sound interesting and something that I’d like to see. In it, a prisoner serving a life sentence deals with people who are suffering from memory loss. The plot might get obvious from there, but it still seems like it could be a heartfelt film.

 

Transformers One: This is set for release on September 13, 2024. It doesn’t have a trailer yet. I don’t think that it is related to the live action franchise as it is instead animated. It is an origin story about the relationship between Optimus Prime and Megatron set on Cybertron.

 

The Amateur: This is set for release on November 8, 2024. It doesn’t have a trailer yet. It is about a man seeking revenge for his fiancée’s death. It sounds cliché, but could be good or otherwise interesting. It’s hard to know for sure yet.

 

Cellar Door: This has an unknown release date. It doesn’t have a trailer yet. It is about a couple that move into a house, but aren’t allowed to open the cellar door. I’m guessing that this will be a horror movie as I can’t see it being anything but.

 

The Astronaut: This has no release date yet. It doesn’t have a trailer yet. It is about an astronaut who thinks that an alien has found its way to earth by following her. But if Laurence and this woman are the only known people in the cast, are they implying that black people are aliens? That’s racist!

 

The Little Bedroom: Like other things, it doesn’t have a release date or trailer. I don’t know what all there is to say about it as it basically just says that an old guy’s son sells his apartment after he is recovering so he moves in with a nurse.

 

Melina Kanakaredes: She will be in a movie called Wake. That is all that I see her in at the moment. She has done a lot of TV roles, be it main or recurring, so I hope to see more of her in the future. Until then, I’ll report what I know of what she’s done.

 

Wake: This has an unknown release date at this moment. Its main focus is on a lie of some sort that tore people apart. Something interesting must happen beyond that. I just don’t yet know what that will be. I look forward to seeing it, hopefully.

 

Kristen Bell: She is doing a whole lot still. Let’s see if I can cover all of what’s she’s done since The Good Place ended. She will also be in a reboot of Gossip Girl. Yet another thing that I see now is called Molly and the Moon. She should also be in The People We Hate at the Wedding. Also, it turns out that Family Game Fight is back. She is in Zootopia+. She will also be in Frozen III and PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie.

 

Gossip Girl: This is an HBO Max reboot. I never understood the appeal of that show back then and am perfectly fine not seeing this on cable or anywhere else. I do not know if I know anyone whom I could borrow the original series from, although I will not rule that out. Also, didn’t they reveal who Gossip Girl was? Is there going to be a new person doing that in the reboot or are we just expected to forget what’s been revealed in this show already? This is streaming now.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhsV1gPVJMQ

 

Thoughts on trailer: Well, it seems like there are some aspects that could be interesting to me, but most of this is not something that I care for. I never liked the idea of the original show, but never actually gave it a chance in the end. This seems like it is focused too much on sex and other aspects of life that I’m just not that interested in seeing on this show that I wouldn’t care to watch anyways. It’s a good thing, then, that I won’t be able to see it.

 

Enjoy this review of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPQ4nuIe0ck

 

Molly and the Moon: This has a currently unknown release date. It is said to be a musical and appears to be written by the creators of How I Met Your Mother. (Do people still like them after they ended that show?) There is no known plot of this at the time. Maybe it will be a movie, but could be something else. Too much of this on imdb is vague right now.

 

The People We Hate at the Wedding: The title explains a lot of this as a family has conflict leading up to a wedding. I don’t think that there’s much else that one could say about that. It is out now on Prime video. It has a trailer now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXeS6ELErIs

 

Thoughts on trailer: I have no idea what to make of this. It could be good, but only if you are into or can tolerate dumb comedies. This seems to have elements of family drama and possibly romance as well. But it clearly has dumb characters in it. We’ll see if I see this or not and if so, whether or not it will be a quick review since it will be on a streaming site that I can actually watch on my own.

 

Family Game Fight: I’m not going to say much about this as you can check the archives of this blog until I have time to return to my TV blog which has the duplicate review of this that I can put back in this blog. Anyways, it is on hiatus.

 

Zootopia+: I don’t know yet if she will appear in more than one episode of this. What I do know is that this is a continuation of the movie of the same name (- the +). It is out now. I don’t know if I’ll be able to see it then or not.

 

Catch up on the Zootopia movie by watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERMgSbeGsnw

 

Counterpoint to the previous video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c8MOD9bzFw

 

Frozen III: This has no known plot at the time other than being the third installment of the Frozen franchise. It is set for release in 2025. There is no trailer for this yet so I’ll have to wait to see it to maybe figure out what it will be like…

 

PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie: This is set for release on September 29, 2023. This is about the PAW Patrol getting superpowers after a meteor crashes into the city. I have no seen the show or previous movie yet. There is a trailer for this:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDgjJ9XzgHk

 

Thoughts on trailer: This could be interesting or could also be cliché. I have no idea how good or bad something like this would be until I see it. I will say that it looks fairly good for someone like me who hasn’t seen the show as it could stand alone with it.

 

Marg Helgenberger: One of the benefits to missing stuff in the updates is that she was going to be in a pilot that was not picked up so I won’t have to waste time putting any of that in the blog and then taking it back out again. She will be returning for more of All Rise. She’s set to be in CSI: Vegas now.

 

CSI: Vegas: Not much is known or could be known about this right now other than the fact that it is going to be a new part of the CSI franchise after five years without a franchise in around the 21^st anniversary of the franchise. It is on hiatus. It is pretty good in some cases.

 

CSI: Vegas: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I’m a fan of the CSI franchise so I wanted to watch this new one as well. Noteworthiness- This is a continuation of the original CSI, largely focusing on a new team, but also bringing back people from the original team returning. Description- We return to characters from the original show solving new mysteries and dealing with potential issues of old teammates. Notable People- This has a lot of the original cast returning, including William Petersen, Jorja Fox, and Wallace Langham. It is also created by the same franchise creator as the four previous shows, Anthony E Zuiker. Pros- I felt that this was quite a good show and worth keeping up with. Cons- It can be too mysterious for its own good and also could ruin what’s previously part of the franchise. Note to Parents- Don’t let preteens watch this, but teens and older can. Recommendation- This is good and worth watching. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch every episode about this to blog about it. Prediction- I don’t know if this is going to last now. You’d think that it would, but the main thing against it right now is whether or not it is just a short term plan in the end. It is going to last 10 episodes this season so we’ll wait to see if there will be more episodes and/or more seasons. Reception: great. Grade: B+.

Rory Cochrane: It looks like he will appear in projects in the future. Something he is doing is Boston Strangler. Another thing that he is doing is King Ivory. I have no idea what else he might do in the future as of yet.

 

Boston Strangler: This is out now on Hulu. It has a plot of a pair of women who broke the story of, well, the Boston Strangler and report on this person. Since it is out now and I have no way of seeing it, I’m going to remove it from the updates.

 

King Ivory: This is set for release on September 30, 2024. It is about drug running involving fentanyl and may or may not be a documentary. There is no trailer for this yet so I’ll wait to find out how interesting this is. I doubt that I will like it since I hate seeing things depicting drug running.

 

Carmine Giovinazzo: He is now doing a project called Un$uited. Hopefully I’ll see more of what he’s doing in the future. That’s all that I see him doing at the moment in time. Maybe he’ll do more or maybe he won’t. I’ll have to wait and see.

 

Un$uited: This is a show about someone who wants to become a professional poker player before finding out just how much he sucks at it. It has no release date yet or trailer. I don’t know what network or streaming service this will be on.

 

Eric Close: He is set to be in Investors. And that’s it for now. I hope to find out more about what all he is doing in the future as time goes by. In the mean time, I’ll have to figure out what all to say in each different paragraph so it will be at least three lines long on my computer.

 

Investors: This doesn’t have a release date yet. But it does have a plot: an investor who cares too much about winning that he might lose more than just whatever the investments relate to. We’ll see if this is predictable or not. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: ***

 

Thoughts on trailer:

 

William Jackson Harper: He is doing something called Dogs in Space. He’ll also be in The Resort and Landscape with Invisible Hand. Two more things that he will be in are Jodie and A Man in Full. He is in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.

 

Dogs in Space: This is a TV show. It is available now. The plot of it relates to genetically enhanced dogs trying to find a new planet called home. It is a kid’s show that is animated. I wonder what lessons there will be to learn from it.

 

First episode link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4UqQc9Uz0U

 

Review: Show Description- Dogs are sent into space to find a new home for humans to live on. Behind the Scenes- This is a Netflix show. It stars William Jackson Harper from The Electric Company and The Good Place. My Thoughts- This is interesting and well done. It puts a lot of detail into world building and character development. I will admit, though, that it can seem cliché and a bit predictable in some places. Still, I give this four stars out of five. Long Term Prospects- I have no idea if this will last or not. Where to Find- This is a Netflix show, although the first episode is for free on YouTube as linked above

 

The Resort: This relates to true crime and a conspiracy to it relating to love. It is out now. This is on Peacock and is awaiting a potential review by me. Sorry that I haven’t been trying better to get this watched. I am considering it too late to watch a trailer for this anymore.

 

Review: (Coming later, hopefully)

 

Landscape with Invisible Hand: This is about teenagers who seek to save the world from aliens that control the economy. Stupid white people. Wait, these are from outer space. It has a release date of August 18, 2023. But it does sound interesting.

 

Trailer link: ***

 

Thoughts on trailer:

 

Jodie: This is a spin-off of the show Daria, of which I know little about. It does not have much of a plot beyond that right now. It has no release date at this moment. I guess that I will have to find out more about this later.

 

A Man in Full: The plot of this relates to a mogul facing a bankruptcy and defending his empire. There’s not much else to say about this until a trailer is released. There is set for release in 2023. I guess that I’ll have to see that in the future, if it gets made.

 

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania: This movie is on DVD now. It is about the characters of the Ant-Man universe exploring the quantum realm and see what all might be possible. What will happen? I’ll see at some point…

 

Enjoy this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKCtskhKl_M

 

Simone Missick: She will be in a project called Hanging by a Thread. All Rise was picked up for a third season by OWN after all. I’m still including her in the updates for now, but plan to skip All Rise in the rotation of new people added to this blog (outside of confirmed former cast members and maybe the original showrunner) to avoid confusion until it ends for real in the future.

 

Hanging by a Thread: This has no release date or trailer yet. It is about a bipolar man who wants to enforce his medicine free ways on his nephew who is also bipolar. This seems like it could have a lesson or just be really strange. Hopefully the lesson is not what the uncle wants to have happen. This is gone from imdb so it either isn’t moving forward as a project or doesn’t have Simone Missick in it anymore. I’ll see if that changes or not.

 

Gary Dourdan: He is doing a lot of projects. One of them is Zero. A second is The Lost Princess. A third thing that he’s doing is The Moderator. A fourth thing that he is doing is Thebes. A fifth thing that he is doing is Mnemonix. A sixth thing that he is doing is Desdemona’s Revenge. A seventh thing that he is doing is Bonecrackers. An eighth thing is The Forfeiture Clause. That’s all of his for now.

 

Thebes: This is a movie about a detective looking for a missing teen from a small town and learns that there are dark secrets there and she’ll have to face her past in some way. Now while this sounds interesting, it also sounds like the plot for plenty of other movies that already exist. This has no release date or trailer yet.

 

Mnemonix: It is about a virus that killed half of human life while also creating a new form of life as well. It is set for release on December 22, 2024. It could be interesting, even with the unoriginal elements to it based on what is out already.

 

Desdemona’s Revenge: Not surprisingly, this has no release date yet. It also had no trailer at this moment either. It is about a pair of thieves and the people chasing them with the plot on imbd possibly spoiling the entirety of this short.

 

Bonecrackers: The plot appears to be about a crime family of sorts. It has no release date yet nor does it have a trailer. I can’t tell what all to make out about this without going too much into the potential plot. But expect a lot of deception going on with the characters.

 

Zero: It doesn’t have a release date yet. It does not have a trailer, but it does sound very interesting. People have ten hours to find out why they have bombs attached to themselves. It could be an interesting thriller. I hope to see sometime.

 

The Lost Princess: This movie is about a person who is transported to the past through a vision and then leaves to find out about his past. This has no trailer yet. Its release date is currently unknown. I hope to find out more about this over time.

 

The Moderator: This is an Amazon Prime movie about a Russian blogger who wants to get revenge on the murder of her two friends. It is out already. I hope to be able to see it at some point sooner rather than later. But with my inability to see movies that I don’t already have and have watched already, I’m unsure when I’ll see it. There is a trailer for this that I will talk about:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHb-u7KvIZA

 

Thoughts on trailer: This seems like it could be an interesting film even if it goes into the whole revenge thing a bit too hard and who knows what else. Are the cops the good guys even when this woman is the protagonist and not good herself? It’s hard to know for sure. Whether or not I will see this or remove this again from the updates is unknown.

 

The Forfeiture Clause: This has a release date of November 23, 2023. It does not have a trailer yet. It might be a horror movie that says to be inspired by true events. We’ll see just how similar to that it might wind up being. Basically, newlyweds have a great place to live, but learn of something sinister that threatens them.

 

Sofia Milos: I’ll have to see what else she might do in the future. I look forward to covering what all she is doing next. She is set to appear in Astoria. That’s about it for her for now. But at least that’s something. She could be doing more.

 

Astoria: This has no release date yet or trailer. Set in part of Queens, it is about crime families dealing with drug running. I don’t think that I will like this and am better off without this. I don’t want to see shows or movies about drug running.

 

Vanessa Ferlito: She is currently set to be in Griselda. It is nice to finally see her now mentioned in something else since she hadn’t done anything for a while. So I guess we’ll see what becomes of this new project of hers. She will also be in How to be a Bookie.

 

Griselda: This has no release date mentioned yet. It also doesn’t yet have a trailer. But it does have a plot: Griselda Blanco created a profitable cartel. This would only be worth more of a story if this were true. Otherwise, it just sounds like bare elements of Breaking Bad but with a female lead (although it sounds very far from ripping that show off). Still, it can be hard sometimes to watch shows about criminals as I don’t like seeing terrible characters on TV.

 

How to be a Bookie: This has no release date yet. It also has no trailer. It is a TV show about a bookie struggling with different things in life. I need to find out more what a bookie is to better understand what this would be about.

 

Roselyn Sánchez: She is starring in Gringa. Another thing that she’s currently in is ‘Til Jail Do Us Part. Those are the only things that I see of her right now. She has also appeared at times on Home Economics. That’s about it.

 

Gringa: This could instead be called Halfway to Somewhere. It is a father and daughter coming of age comedy drama. I don’t know much about it. While there is a trailer for this, I won’t cover it. It is now. It might be on Prime Video. If it is not, I’ll remove it from the updates. Otherwise, I will plan to see it and review it sometime.

 

‘Til Jail Do Us Part: This is a TV series that sounds quite interesting. It is about a group of women who have to deal with their husbands all being arrested for potentially being in the same criminal organization. It is now available to watch on Peacock.

 

Review: Status- Currently on Peacock. Why I’ve seen it- I wanted to review it for this blog. Description- Women who are rich friends have to deal with their husbands being arrested and other issues. Notable People- Roselyn Sánchez, from Without a Trace and Fantasy Island, is one of the characters. Pros- It is Hispanic lead. Cons- This show was pretty dumb and didn’t have much to it. You couldn’t gather much from the pilot as there wasn’t much to keep you coming back to this later. Note to Parents- This was rated TV Mature for language, sexual situations, and other things. Recommendation- Don’t spend your time on this show. My Viewing Habits- I watched the first episode and wouldn’t see more of this if I could. Prediction- This won’t last. I’m not sure of any Peacock show lasting. Reception: good. Grade: F.

 

Jameela Jamil: There are four things that she’s currently in right now. The first is DC League of Super-Pets. The second is She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. The third is The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. The fourth is Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin. The fifth is Poker Face. The sixth is Safe Space. The seventh is Elio.

 

DC League of Super-Pets: This is on DVD now. It is about Krypto the Super-Dog having to save his master Superman after Superman was kidnapped. Is there a rule that all Illumination Films have to use the exact same animation style?

 

Enjoy this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yrXm3RaBWg

 

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: This is available now. The plot is that a woman, namely Jennifer Walters, gets Hulk like powers. Who is Jennifer Walters? I guess that I’ll have to find out or see The Hulk movie that I still haven’t seen yet if that even explains. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gim2kprjL50

 

Thoughts on trailer: It seems like it could be a better trailer and look better than what it could be in the trailer. Maybe it will be good. I won’t know unless I wind up with Disney+ again or otherwise see this sometime. I have no idea what is with the sexist line about all women being angry. I also have no idea what’s wrong with dating in your 30s. And must there be hints about sex in this? I feel like putting a woman protagonist in any sexual situation seeks to take away from her potential power.

 

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight: Now called just Love at First Sight, this is about two people who fall in love on a flight together. It is set to be released on September 15, 2023. It will be a Netflix film. It has a trailer now:

 

Trailer link: ***

 

Thoughts on trailer:

 

Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin: This is a TV show based on and continuing the movie series of the same name. It is out now on Peacock. It is about Bumper moving to Germany since one of his songs becomes big there. I guess that I might have to borrow any of the movies that I can to watch them so I know who Bumper even is in the first place.

 

Review: Show Description- After going viral in Germany, Bumper moves there and meets new friends while dealing with new rivals. Behind the Scenes- This is part of the Pitch Perfect movie series franchise, but a TV show focusing on one of the characters. My Thoughts- It is weird and unbelievable in some places while overall interesting and entertaining in others. I give it three out of five stars. Long Term Prospects- I have no idea if it will last, but since most Peacock shows that I’m familiar with don’t, then I’m going to guess that it won’t last. Where to Find- On Peacock

 

Poker Face: This is currently on Peacock. I hope to review more of it later at some point in time, but am way behind on watching Peacock shows. I have one that started last year to watch and then I’ll be watching all of them that started this year.

 

Enjoy this review in the meantime: https://www.tvguide.com/news/poker-face-review-natasha-lyonne-murder-mystery-series-peacock/

 

Safe Space: This has no trailer yet. It appears to be out now. It is about cringe worthy tales that guests tell people about. I’m guessing that this is like a talk show sort of? It’s hard to tell for sure since the description isn’t that good. Since it is out and I don’t think that I’ll be able to see it, then I’m removing it from the updates.

 

Elio: This is a Disney/Pixar film set to be released on March 1, 2024. It is about a kid who is chosen by aliens to be Earth’s ambassador while his mother tries to decode the messages that are going on.

 

Audrey Corsa: She is currently in two things. One is Poker Face. The second is Dear Edward. There’s not much that I can say about her work other than that. No idea why she isn’t back for more of All Rise, but this is her future career now.

 

Poker Face: This is currently on Peacock. I hope to review more of it later at some point in time, but am way behind on watching Peacock shows. I have one that started last year to watch and then I’ll be watching all of them that started this year. I’m removing this from this part of the blog since she is only in one episode of this.

 

Dear Edward: This is out now on Apple TV+. This is a TV show where a boy loses his family in a plane crash and how various lives are affected as a result. I don’t know what network this will air on, but am expecting this to be on streaming given its low episode count for a first season. I’m unsure if I’ll be able to see it or not.

 

George Eads: He hasn’t done much since leaving MacGyver. He may just not want to act as much anymore, although it can be hard to tell sometimes from people to people why they aren’t in much and how much of that is by choice.

 

Jonathan Togo: The last thing he acted in was a Christmas TV movie back in 2018. There has been nothing else that he has done since then that I can see. I guess this leaves me with one less person to keep track of while also including more people in this blog.

 

Hill Harper: He has been a regular in the show The Good Doctor since it first started. He is also set to be in Junction, The Requiem Boogie, and Modern Primitives. That’s all that I see him doing for now. He might do more in the future.

 

The Good Doctor: This show has been on ABC for over 100 episodes so far. I like it a lot, even if it goes beyond what it should sometimes in making medical sense. Anyways, if you want to know more about the show, read this review:

 

The Good Doctor: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- It looked like a pretty good show to me. Noteworthiness- This is an adaptation of a South Korean show. Description- A young doctor with autism starts working with other doctors and has to overcome stigma. Notable People- Hill Harper, from CSI: New York, stars on this show as well. David Shore, the creator of House, is also the creator of this show as well. Pros- This is wonderful with well written characters, plots, and overall believable medical situations. Cons- Not all the characters are nice people. I know that happens a lot and it can be needed at times, but it can still be a problem. Note to Parents- This is mostly acceptable for kids, but there are some problems with it in terms of what age can watch. I’d say that pre-teens and older should be good with this. Recommendation- I think that everyone should watch this. My Viewing Habits- I know that I have not seen every episode, but I have watched this as much as I can over the course of time and have been a fan of this from the first episode. I missed this show for a while due to work commitments. Prediction- This is getting good ratings for now so it will stay for as long as that lasts. Reception: mixed to positive. Grade: A+.

 

Junction: This is a movie that I’m guessing it made up that is talking about the opioid crisis from the perspectives of a pharmaceutical company CEO, a doctor, and a patient. It has no trailer yet and has an unknown release date.

 

The Requiem Boogie: This has no release date or trailer yet. The plot of this on imdb needs to be improved. From what I understand of this, a star is trying to mourn the loss of his famous father, but people just want to make a reunion show instead. Could this even be a good thing in the end? I don’t know about that.

 

Modern Primitives: There is no plot for this known yet. There is no release date yet. There is no trailer for this yet. There is no cast outside of Hill Harper for this yet. We’ll see if anything ever becomes of this or if it just stays in development hell for a really long time, possibly forever. This isn’t on imbd anymore. This might not be moving forward as a result.

 

D’Arcy Carden: She is also in the as of yet unreviewed (by me) The People We Hate at the Wedding, which won’t even get its own section later here, but will up there. I can’t tell what TV shows she might be in that are worth mentioning right now. But of stuff that is mentioned as still upcoming, she’s set to be in Rhona Who Lives by the River.

 

Rhona Who Lives by the River: This is set for release in 2023. It does not have a trailer yet. It is about a girl with a dull life who receives the ability to make her wishes come true. I’m guess that life lessons will be learned from this.

 

Former projects: In this section, I will keep track of shows that people in this blog used to be mentioned in as doing in some way. I might keep track of other things too. This will be used to keep track of what shows might still be on even after someone has left it in some way. Dancing with the Stars is one of these shows. Since Shad Moss’s time in it is over, I’m including The Masked Singer in this part as well.

 

Dancing with the Stars- This is currently on hiatus. I watched it at least once to see what it’s like and because James Van Der Beak was on it. This is a reality competition show where professional dancers team up with celebrities of sorts.

 

Review: Status- Currently on Disney+. Why I’ve seen it- I watched it since James Van Der Beek was in a season of it. Description- Celebrities team up with professional dancers to compete on a live show. Notable People- Carrie Ann Inaba, who was on The Talk, is a judge on the show. Pros- It can be better and more interesting than one might think, giving its genre. Cons- Too much time is wasted on this show due to set up to dances and other competitions. Note to Parents- Outside of sometimes inappropriate outfits, there might not be too much bad in the show, although you’d have to watch for yourself. Recommendation- This isn’t too bad, but isn’t outstanding either. The main reason why one wouldn’t want to watch it would be time commitment to other things. Prediction- This will probably keep lasting. Reception: good. Grade: B-.

 

The Masked Singer: I knew it was only a matter of time before someone that I covered in one of the cast updates was on this show. Thus, I’m going to include a review here. If I had to guess that anyone from any show I do cast updates of was going to appear on this show, I knew that it would probably be Shad Moss before it would be anyone else.

 

The Masked Singer review: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- It turns out that Shad Moss, whose career I follow for a blog, was on the show so I watched it to see what it was like. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from a South Korean show and is the first non Asian adaptation of the show. Description- Different celebrities in masks compete on a singing show where the loser gets unmasked. While all get unmasked at some point, the winner goes the longest without this fate. Notable People- Ken Jeong, from Community and Dr. Ken, is a judge on the show. Pros- This doesn’t have as bad a voting problem as other reality competition shows since what we see is always pretaped. Even if they aren’t professional singers, they can still be good. Cons- Some have complained that the results of voting is too random and can eliminate great professional singers from the game. Too much of this seems wasted on the banter between the judges and host or trying to guess the identities of the singers. Note to Parents- I haven’t seen enough of this to know if it is bad, but my guess is that this is something the whole family could watch. Recommendation- Don’t bother with this. My Viewing Habits- I saw this once in the third season before watching it a lot again in the fourth and fifth season. I don’t know yet if I will see it again due to scheduling conflicts. I probably won’t watch it again since someone was on it that I didn’t like at all to the point of wanting to give the show up forever as a result. Prediction- This will probably last quite a while since it is said to be the most watched show now. Reception: somewhat mixed. Grade: D.

 

In order to keep track of new people, this post will share the theme songs from CSI: Miami to the point where I need to share new people in either this blog or my one in Elementary again. I plan to do this until I’ve shared the remaining ones of them in this blog and I’ve caught up with it as a result.
