Let's Give This One More Try

I'm back.  Hopefully I can keep some sort of schedule going on where I can put up enough entries.  Someone asked me once if I could pull off being a blogger.  So far, I'd say I haven't pulled it off.  This is going to change.  I swear.  This time will be different.

What I am going to do is get at least one entry up per week.  At least.  If I have more, I have more.  Good for me, good for you, good for the blog.  It will be good all around.  That's what my plan is.  I don't know what the entries will be, or how long they will be.  I just want to have something.

Why am I trying again?  I need some sort of outlet.  Life gets kind of boring when it is work, home, school, and 140 characters to people online.  I need more.  I need to share more of what I have to say.  I need a bigger canvas upon which to inspect myself, the stuff I do, the people around me, and my life in general.  I need a way to get some of it out of me.  This seems like the perfect way.  It is kind of what I was doing before anyway.

This seems like it was a dead blog.  No longer shall it be that way.  From now on, this blog shall live.  This is the internet.  It's written in ink.  I must provide the strokes with which the ink imprints the paper.  The paper being the internet in this case.  That is what I am here to do.

Without further adieu, on with the blog.  Back to your regularly scheduled blog.  Um...one more time for the memories.  Let's get it done.

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
