Blog Update From Me To You



I’m going to get more into writing on the blog, outside of the marathon stuff.  I want to.  I don’t only want to be putting up stuff about the movies in the marathon.  In the next few days, a few new recurring things will be showing up.  I’m going to go over a couple of them here.  Ignore me if you want.  Read some of them when they come up.  I don’t care what you do.  I want to get more stuff up, and these are some of the ideas.

The first idea is sticking with the theme of movies.  And it’s pretty much going to be the same as a marathon, except not.  I’m sure it will evolve into its own thing.  Basically, I’m going to put up a poll with three movies.  Each movie is going to seem like a bad movie.  I’ll watch whatever one wins and get back to you guys on it.  Basically, you’re telling me which one you would want to read my opinion of.  And I’ll have to watch some horrible stuff, most likely.  Feel free to leave comments with suggestions, or tell me your ideas on Twitter @JurassicGriffin.  Oh, by the way, the first three choices are a Hasselhoff trio: Avalanche (1994), The Christmas Consultant (2012), or Starcrash (1978).

Second idea.  I live in a tourist town and work in the tourist industry.  I might as well share some stories of the things I see, or have seen.  Some are interesting.  Others are not.  You’ll be able to read some of the stories of things I have witnessed.

Idea number three.  I’ve done this one before.  I can do it again, I think.  I’ll sit down and type.  That’s it.  Anything that comes to mind, I’ll type it out.  What I type is what you get.  It’s a simple idea and could lead to some interesting things.

Those are three ideas of what you’ll be seeing show up here in the near future.  The marathons will still be going.  This change is for me, though.  I need some variety to what I’m writing.  It gets boring when I’m writing the same thing, day in and day out.

If you have any ideas of what you want to see me writing about, I’d like to read your ideas and then not do most of them.

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
