Happy 1st anniversary, Ghostbusters: Afterlife!

See the 38th Ghostbusters 1 anniversary for all the Afterlife news.

Also building up to today.....

-Ghostbusters 2 33rd anniversary.

-Ghostbusters: Answer The Call 6th anniversary.

So, I guess I'll add my new thoughts.

I've seen it a bazillion times on Starz now.

Sometimes I'm bored with it, sometimes I love it all over again.

Depends on my mood that day.

Hell, I can watch it twice the same day, and get different moods from it.

Spoilers ahead-

A few things make me cringe no matter what.

Like, virgin-shaming Trever, why did that have to be in there?

He's a kid, who's he supposed to be fucking? Y'know? Eeew. Jesus.

Can we please bury this weird shit next to "Hocus Pocus" and "Monster Squad" and be done with it? 

Yeesh, America.

And Gary and Callie remembering their possession fucking, and acting like it was them.

Um, identity problem there. Even if they had the memories, it wasn't their will.

Technically, sex under possession is rape of both participants.

This is the stuff you run into making a nostalgia sequel to an adult comedy as a family comedy.

Oh, America, you so crazy.

And....there's still no adequate logical character consistent explanation for why Egon was absent from Callie's life, and yet, why he had a bazillion photos of her whole life, and who was sending him the pics. I mean, obviously it was Callie's mom, but if he was in regular communication with Callie's mom, why didn't he just visit?

Or why Ray didn't believe Egon about Gozer. Ray believes everything.

Maybe the prequel comic will explain.

It shouldn't have to though.

These loose ends should be tied up in the flick.

It doesn't ruin the movie for me, I just imagine Basil Exposition from "Austin Powers" telling me not to think about it too hard.

And yet....they dangle these clues that force you to think about it...

Dammit, movie...

So, yeah it's not a perfect masterpiece, that would be the first one, but I still like it better than 2, and "Answer The Call".

I hope they hit it out of the park better with the sequel.

Anyway, that's year 1. We'll see if part 2 is out by year 2.

Well, we dodged doomsday.

Dems took the Senate, and if Repubs get the house, it'll be a slim majority.

And all of Trump's picks got kicked in the groin.

And all the anti-abortion measures got smashed, and the pro-abortion measures won.

So, the good guys finally got off their asses, and saved the country in our darkest hour.

The ending of "The Rise Of Skywalker" actually happened.

Holy shit.

And the one big Repub winner, Desantis, won by gerrymandering, and Trump hates him, and he's willing to burn the Elephant party to the ground to fight him.

And Garland has finally re-attached his balls, and is going to indict Orange Mussolini.

I'm mad at the allegedly liberal media.

CNN is dead to me.

CNN were the biggest doomsayers.

They were like "Red wave!!! Red wave!! Abandon all hope!! It's gonna be like the wind from a nuke that shatters your house into splinters!! There's nothing you can do to brace yourseeeeeeelf!! This is the end!! This is the eeeeend!!!! Here it cooooomes!!! Heeere iiiitt coooommess!!!! AAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!"

MSNBC had those doom-and-gloomers too, but they had optimists too.

And Biden was an optimist.

Cheers to Biden!

So, yeah.

The fight against evil never ends, but they took a big fat L this week.

Next up, let's get Trump in a cell already.

Let's get that to happen.

Halloween 2022!

Last year's theme was accidentally fascism.

Rising fascism is going to be a concern for a long goddamned time thanks to Trump.

Can't have every year be fash-aween though.

And, I already did corona-ween.

So....no theme, except for this year's horror news.

Which is what last year tried to be.

Previous years-

-Halloweens I-IX

-Halloween X

-Halloween 2021

All the horror stuff from this year...

-Hellraiser remake with novel-accurate Pinhead dropped on Netflix.

-Season 2 of Chucky is out.

-Evil Dead Rise is bumped out to fucking 2023.

-No word on the Toxie remake.

-"Halloween Ends" dropped, and I couldn't have cared less.

-"The Walking Dead" is finally ending, and frankly, I'm glad to see the back of it.

-Although, TWD is spawning a jillion spinoffs. But I'm not gonna watch any of them.

"Fear TWD" killed my favorite hero, and favorite villain, and I only liked season 5-6, so...kiss my ass, "Fear".

-"Interview With The Vampire" has started, and it's...interesting. "Interview" is my least favorite of the (original three) books. They're doing their best with it, but things should really pick up when they get to "The Vampire Lestat" and "Queen Of The Damned".

-"Nope" dropped, haven't seen it. People are arguing about it.

-"Stranger Things" season 4 dropped.

-Got "Clarice" on DVD.

-Got and read "Creature Commandos" and re-read ""On Writing".

-Got "Venom: Let There Be Carnage".

-Got "The Boys" seasons 1-2, and "Castlevania" season 4.

-Got "Multiverse Of Madness" "Morbius" "Dark Crystal" and "Ed Wood".

-"Werewolf By Night" dropped.

-Read "Sandman".

-Watched "Sandman".

-Started collecting "Sandman".

-Caught the 'rona.

And finally, song time!

-In Dreams (for Sandman).

-Carnage Rules (for Venom).

-Theme to "Witch's Night Out" (Cuz I just feel like it)

And, as always...

Merry Deathmas!

And a happy new candy! :-D

I've had the 'rona!

Started showing teensy symptoms the 15th (day of the She-Hulk and Werewolf reviews), got worse the very next day, and tested positive.

Day after that, maximum fever, puked, but things slooowwly got better from then on.

The barf was the absolute peak. Got better from that instant on.

Lotta fatigue and napping.

Lotta ibuprofen, and nasty-ass Vicks throat spray.

Felt better today, and tested negative.

Tomorrow will be exactly 2 weeks since showing first symptoms.

Having fucked up smell and taste was the worst part.

Glad it wasn't permanent.

So, there, I've had it, and the vaccine shielded me from being a corpse.

Except for the smell thing, it was just a cold-y flu-y kinda thing.

Wouldn't do it again if I could help it.

Star Trek: Lower Decks, season 3 review.

One day late, which actually isn't too bad for me! Read More......

Three quick things....

1. I'm not gonna review "Star Wars: Andor" cuz I'm not gonna finish it, cuz I don't like it.

I mean, it's beautifully filmed, acted, special effect-ed, it doesn't fail on any of those fronts.....but it's just a fucking downer.

I watch Star Wars for fun escape, not to be reminded of the looming doom on CNN every fucking day.

12 episodes of this shit? And it hasn't sunk its hooks in by 7?

Nope, I'm out.

2. During my read-a-thon, I back-logged a ton of media news shit. I went over that back-log, and asked myself "do I really care about this? Does this impending movie/show really make my life cooler?".

99% of that list was a fat "no". This was all that was left..... 

Lady Gaga is Harley Quinn. 

There.

You've probably heard about that. You didn't need my blog for that. Movie doesn't come out until 2024. We've got awhile. 

3. Only other media news was various release dates, but covid resurgence is making studios play musical chairs with that shit all over again, so why bother anymore?

So, yeah, that's it.
