Fee Fi Fo Fum


Today I’m going to highlight one of my many weird dreams that I’ve had.  I’m leaving it here for everyone to see.  Judge me how you may.  I just want to let you all know me a little bit more by sharing something that has taken over my mind while I slept.

I was a child when I had this dream.  Not once, but it was a recurring dream.  It has haunted me for a long time because I was only a child when I had the dream.  Of course this one would freak me out when I was little.  It’s just something that would happen with this kind of thing.

The dream was Jack and the Beanstalk.  I was Jack.  What happened?  Don’t you know the story?  I climbed a beanstalk and ended up in a giant’s castle.  The giant wanted to use my bones in or on his bread.  Either way, the bread would have my bones and he would eat them.  That’s what scared me the most.  A giant was trying to find me to eat me.  And to get my bones, he’d probably have me suffering in excruciating pain.  I didn’t want to go through that.

Maybe I should have started at the beginning.  I was in a fenced off area with a friend.  In the middle of this area was a brick block with something in it.  I think it was like a large building’s power generator runoff or something.  It doesn’t even really matter anyway.  I could be blowing smoke out of my ass with that assumption.  Anyway, there was a beanstalk.  Somehow my friend disappeared and the only way for me to get out of here was up the beanstalk, so I climbed.  That’s weird for me.  I’m afraid of heights.

I ended up in the castle of a giant.  And this is when I got scared.  I hid under a table as the giant tried to find me to eat me.  Like any dream, this felt real.  I feared for my life.  My parents were nowhere to be found.  My friend had ditched me.  He must have known what was going to happen.  I had to get out of there.

Then I woke up.  Lucky me, I could escape that easily.  The next time I had that dream, the same thing happened again.  By the third time, I realized something was up.  I had been here before.  Before I even climbed the beanstalk I managed to wake myself up.  This is something I haven’t done too often since.  I can’t control my dreams, but I’m not going to let them control me!

Anyway, yeah.  That was one of the dreams I’ve had that I remember.  It’s been a part of me since I was little.  It has helped to shape who I am.  Do you have any dreams that have helped to make you who you are today?

Is "Real Steel" Like "Over the Top"?

When I was going through my weekly movie binge a couple weeks ago, I stumbled upon two movies that I had never seen before that tackled a very similar story.   It was an odd thing to have happen because I didn’t know of any similarities between the two movies.   The first was Real Steel, a movie about a man who participates in robot boxing while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   The second was Over the Top, a movie about a man who participates in arm wrestling while bonding with the son that he had left years before.   Similar?   I think so. Let’s begin with Real Steel.   I watched this one because, why the hell not?   I quite enjoyed the movie and by the end I was rooting for Hugh Jackman’s character to help his robot, Atom, to a victory.   The thing to point out about Real Steel is how good the visual effects were.   I wasn’t expecting too much going in, but I thought they masterfully crafted each robot in a way that it entirely fit its surroundings and didn’t

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Season 2, Episode 8: The Power Stealer

Image
Last time we sat down with the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers , Tommy was going through some serious stuff.   His powers were running low because Lord Zedd was targeting him.   He felt hopeless.   His friends were comforting him.   There was also a Robo Goat trying to take a powerful sword and use it against the Earth.   There were fights all over the place and an emotional hook that was unmatched in any episode that wasn’t in a multi-part arc. This episode, there might be follow-up to the Tommy storyline.   It would be nice to see more of the struggle with his powers.   Right now, that’s the one throughline that has been playing out.   II hope this episode continues to have some sort of meaning to the overall story, instead of being a self-contained and meaningless.   The show needs to grow and evolve, with a storyline that builds to something significant.   Having episodes that keep the story at a standstill is boring.   The story needs to move forward.   Will this episode d

A Short Description of how Baby's Day Out (1994) is a Live Action Cartoon

Animated movies have been a large fixture throughout cinematic history.   There is currently an Academy Award category devoted entirely to animated features.   They are an important part of the cinematic landscape.   Movies would be completely different if not for the animated films that have been popular throughout the past century. Children have always been a large part of the popularity of cartoons.   This has not been solely a movie based genre.   Television also thrives on animated shows.   As a child, I can remember watching cartoons on Saturday mornings.   In the children’s cartoons, characters could be forced into dangerous predicaments, get injured or nearly killed, and continue on with their lives as if nothing ever happened to them.   This was the way of cartoons such as Looney Toons , where Elmer Fudd, Wile E. Coyote, Daffy Duck, and Yosemite Sam would always suffer great physical trauma, then return to their normal selves in the next scene. This is probably
