Care to comment on that?

Howdy, folks!  Blogger is not allowing for comments to post.  It seems to be unilateral across the platform.  I am away for the weekend, so hopefully things will clear up by early next week. Until then... Enjoy the blog, catch you all on the flip side.    

 
Back to the bar.

 Way back in the day, I had a dear friend, a rather naturally muscle-bound blonde lad a few years younger the me, who grew up on the Saturday cartoon, "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe"  I was just a generation or two past the fascination with the cartoon, but acquiesced as the 1987 big screen adaptation began gaining hype.  He and his "of like generation" peers wanted to take in the opening premier.  I went along; anything to be part of the pack.  They regaled in full fan-boy He-Man cosplay; my friend had NO problems embodying the titular lead character, in this release, featuring Dolph Lundgren.

 Sadly, the hype and excitement leading up to the movie just never manifest. On leaving the theater, the boredom and flatness of the film encouraged much of the cosplay gear to land in the trash barrels on exit.  
 
Enter 2026 and the "NEW!" remake of the feature.  The cobwebs and fog of my young adult memory lifted when I caught early visuals of Nicholas Galitzine in the title role. Honestly, a splitting image of my young friend from all those years ago! The husband and I sat down and fired it up Amazon Prime.  
 
We could not IMAGINE how this movie went to streaming after only a few weeks! 
 
And then the movie began...
 
I did not think they could possibly make a movie worse than the 1987 version, but someone must have said "Hold my beer!" and went for it.  Of the 2h20m run time, I was able to pare out perhaps all of 3 minutes of any scenes worth the effort. 
BTW: Dolph does have a cameo! 
 
For your enjoyment, I offer the glory and eye candy of Nicholas Galitzine so you don't need to suffer this fools journey back to memories from early adulthood.
 
 

 


[sigh]
I could look at those thighs and eyes all day. 
 
 
Yes, why I DO like movies about gladiators.

Morning Coffee Round-up - September 3

Chuckles while having my first sip of the morning.

Thank you, Wiley! 
 
 
Waiting for this joke to become reality.
 
 

 

Pretty much sums it up.

Well THAT was a momumental waste of time...

 
About 8 hours yesterday rebuilding my laptop
5 hours this morning rebuilding my Android phone to find that 
it IS a problem with the fucking Linux app that links them together.
 
 
The only upside is I now have two devices
with pristine and clean operating systems.
 
Oh, and I got a Crapple work-around for the 
iCloud Email that work just fine now on both 
PC and phone. 
 
 
 But to take my Tech Support hat off just long enough
for me to forget every step I went through to get this 
shit working again.  
 
Time for a drink.
