Rushmoras

Nah, I have the subs for the show. John asked whether she was on Earth when the Larry King interview happened. Kara answered that she was not, she was in her pod, but she watched the whole thing. Or either the screenwriters meaning got lost in translation. Either way... a sin in my book.

So far, witty remark No. 1 from me: (from the five minute mark) nice to see that Kryptonian pods have TV inside, so persons lightyears away from other planets can catch up on daily news of respective planets. [shakes my head]

Yes, I did. Huh, it's hard to imagine what the movie would have been like and the character's motivations without those scenes.

It could very well be that the screenwriters simply forgot what they wrote in dialogues for Mxy character. I would not be surprised.

Just recently had the time and mood to watch something, and decided to watch Kingdom of Heaven (2005), but since I did not know it was over three hours long, had to make a two-partite watch in a span of two weeks. Now, I think I saw it many years ago on TV, because I do remember the beginning of the movie or at least it was familiar But, overall, just like Gladiator prior, it was a new watch for me. And, speaking of Gladiator, since this movie's credits go after the last scene, I did not know who the director was, but I had an inkling suspicion that it might be R. Scott. And, lo and behold, it really was him. So, the movie is generally about a blacksmith, who is visited by his father, and offered to join him in a quest to protect the denizens of the Holy Land. Therein, he finds love, but also a huge load of political intrigues, and figures out that, hey, maybe they, who proclaim to be very religious, are in fact in there for the power and money the politics bring, and not for the people at all. And in the second half of the movie, we can see a bit from Salahadin's perspective, which to me was kinda nice touch. Overall, it was an interesting watch. I'd say 9/10.

I have nothing to say about this episode, except for this bull that caught my attention: so, destroying one totem on Earth (yeah, can't wait to see how this bites them in the ass during the remainder of the episodes) will somehow make the AllStone non-assembling? Yeah, let's just forget what Mxy said about each planet having them. Oh, wait, wait, I have another. So, the kid can copy others abilities like she's Kakashi Sensei from Naruto, huh? Neet. So, let's get her to work on them the first day of being in a new family for, as I assume, hours on end.

I'm just wondering what was more bullshit in this episode: the fact that William actually got "embedded" with the Super Friends and writing a story about how they operate or Super Friends plan on how to get humanity back to the victims from Nxly. No, I'm thinking the latter. Now I'm imagining how Batman, for example, is showing some reporter guy his batcave with all the gadgets and introducing them to his day-to-day activities. And what the hell is this sudden notion that the public doesn't trust the heroes and the heroes need more transparency. So, what we just going to throw out the window all of the development since S1? Well, since it is the last season, might as well go all in and shit on everything that was previously established. I know that I've been saying with each season that it gets worse and worse, but, damn, if last season I thought they are not even trying, then what the hell I should call this season? [ADDENDUM] Would have found funny, if Lena actually told William off by saying: "Will, with all do respect, doing magic is not making dishes, so shut the hell up, because you know as much as I do about this".

Yep, thought the same. I don't know, I prefer these type of quirky episodes rather than your special education episodes, although, I prefer they don't do either. Though, a bit of a dissonance in the beginning of the episode, if compared to the previous one where Kelly was bitching at everyone for not helping her out and not being there, so now, she is not helping them out and not being there (I know, towards the end she comes), because she has her own villains to deal with. I mean, pot calling kettle black, Kelly? No? OK... Since they treat science as pseudo-out-of-your-ass-whatever-the-plot-demands-tool, then why did I even think that Lena will have to train extensively to be able to use even remotely powerful magic? Of course not. This wont be the case at all. Also, harnessing lightning? Didn't in the real world it was deemed to be economically non-feasible? Oh, yeah, and Andrea, she's still Acrata, right? Why can't she simply visit every shadow or what not and spy on super friends herself instead of grilling a reporter to do that? I mean, the dude's got a point; he does not have the means to be their bosom buddy. You are asking this in a show where just in this season they extracted DNA from a hologram in pursuit to get Kara out of a Phantom Zone?

Kelly's outrage that no one of the hospital staff is rushing in to help the victims of the building collapse made me chuckle. Is this her first time of being in an overcrowded, under-staffed and under-equipped public hospital? I mean, sure, it sucks that people don't get help right of the bat, but it is what it is. Just be glad that, if you are capable of speaking, orienting in your surroundings, conscious and not out right dying, they don't make you wait for almost an entire day to go in to the examination room.

Damn, while listening through discographies on YouTube, somehow forgot that this was sung by Dido:

Probably, the most interesting episode so far in the season. Though, I do not like the out-of-nowhere Lena's mother is a witch and Lena is a witch too direction that the show is taking, presumably, to fight Nxly.

Dido "Odds and Ends" (1995). Demo album. I'd give it about 8 out of 10 as a demo album.

Random musing, so, seriously, why aliens flee to Earth in this show? I mean, take Dr. Raab in this episode; it was said that their race is highly technologically advanced. So, why they fled to Earth? For what purpose? Or, are aliens on their own respective planets powerless as humans, but on Earth they become x-men? Well, if that is the case, humans can try flying to other planets in the show to become x-men on their worlds :D

So, I finished up Linkin Park discography just recently with One More Light. And I've got to say... from hard rock ranging on heavy metal to pop with synthesizers... they might be the most changed band that I ever had the pleasure to listen to.

Nia is dumb as bricks. I mean, she basically said that her mom revered owls, the owl tried to warn her, some stranger (Nia acknowledged herself that she does not trust her) is going out of her way to shoo the owl off, and yet, in the end Nia accepts the offer. I hope she will be tortured by magic just for this. I really hope, man. On second thought, that's what happens when Kara does not speak to anyone about what transpired in the Phantom Zone. On the side note, oh, so the prison warden was corrupt? *Surprised Pickachu face* You don't say. Also, regarding Kelly as Guardian, well, at least they gave that one line in bypassing that she will be trained for that role, unlike Jimmy's out of nowhere karate-black-belt champion routine.

So far, three good albums in a row (though, the first two were a bit too edgy for my liking, though, teenager me would have swallowed them all up). Regarding Metallica's discography, well... Hardwired to... Self Destruct was probably their best "new" album, it was definately better than Saint Anger and Death Magnetic, whether it was better or on the same level as Reload? Hard to say...

Oh, look, we are back to environmental problems from S1. How original. And, no, Andrea, you cannot fire anyone within a month, if your paper will not be in top 2 or something position. That's not how this works.

Cause I'm listening to their entire discography on youtube. :D

Metallica "St Anger" Full Album. Help, my ears are bleeding from the god-awful drum and guitar sound. Its probably the worst album of Metallica that I have ever heard. 🤮

Zombieland (2009). A light zombie-flick that's supposed to be comedy, but I haven't laughed once (or maybe my sense of humour is non-existent now, but I did laugh at a couple of Wandavision episodes so...). It was sort of entertaining watch, but 6/10

Finishing up Colleen McCullough "The Song of Troy". Only a couple of chapters left. It's a novelization of Homer's "Iliad". The main difference in here is that there are no divine interventions and quite few heroes of the story are quite sceptical about gods intervening in to the war. Its all driven by human lust for new lands, economic power, greed and envy (as well as shattered pride). I think I swallowed the majority of the remaining story whole during my vacation time. It really was an entertaining read.

Yeah, that's one of their songs I was familiar with. Simply good. Now, I'm listening to the very first Eminem album (no, not Slim Shady LP, which came out in 1999); Infinite (came out in 1996). Fun fact, Em sold it from the trunk of his car to everyone, who were interested in. Let me tell you, its quite different from what you got from him since 1999-2004. Majority of the album is more of some kind of old-school rap, which predates gansta-rap (I don't know, reminds me of RUN DMC and the like). Em there is rapping slowly, the beat is unmemorable, but the flow is there. I'm kinda understand why Dr Dre saw potential in him, if this was that album, which Eminem gave to him to listen to. Also fun fact, in rare tracks section (1 through 9) - there's Slim Shady origins. I guess, Dr. Dre encouraged Em to risk it and take up this persona for Slim Shady LP album.

Was relistening to Bon Jovi's "Crush" album the other week, and one line in the chorus of "It's My Life" stuck out: <...> but Frankie said "I did it my way" <...> referencing Frank Sinatra's "My Way".

Decided to listen to something else for a change (not heavy music), and thought I'd give Dire Straits ago (I liked their Sultans of Swing and couple of other songs) thinking that they gonna give me good vibes... and... I was effin right. Their debut album is so chill its simply amazing. I think I found my new favorite music sound.

And with the third instalment of Rurouni Kenshin (The Legend Ends), which, surprisingly, came out in the same year the Part II came out, I finished the original trilogy. More or less everything's the same, but is probably the weakest out of three. And again with inconsistent deadly blows. I swear, the only reason why some of the blokes in the movie survive is because they are the main characters and nothing more, because other blokes are falling down left and right. 6/10. Maybe, one day I'll be in a mood to watch the continuation live-action saga, but not now, that's for sure.
