Currently doing my annual viewing of the film Sleepy Hollow starring Christina Ricci and Johnny Depp. I watch it every year on Halloween as for me, this film is the epitome of what the holiday is about: spooky fun!

I just finished watching a very fun B movie called Survivor. Since there are a lot of movies called that, it is the one made in 2014, with Kevin Sorbo in a supporting role. It also has the main character from the Mythica movies in a supporting role as well, which delighted me to no end. As I said, it is a fun, low-budget sci-fi movie about the crew of a space ship that crash lands on a planet, and runs afoul of the Raiders and Goblins that live there. There is lots of action and adventure, and a really fun ride. The main character is your basic hot chick, and a lesbian to boot. Of course they killed off her girlfriend. Because you got to Bury Your Gays. Then again, pretty much everyone else dies too, so that might be too harsh. It felt a lot like a video game, a Tomb Raider game in particular. There is a lot of running, and climbing up cliffs, even some semi-parkour when the Raider gang is chasing the protagonist through a warren of rocky outcroppings. When she gets her hands on a bow, well... But none of that detracts from the fun of the movie. It is just an observation.

UFC 244: Masvidal vs Diaz.
As much as I love the Diaz Brothers, I’m gonna side with the Miami Druglord on this one. While the pressure boxing / BJJ of the Diaz’ holds a special place in my heart, Masvidal’s slick boxing and punishing Muay Thai kicks’ll just rip Nate apart, particularly if Masvidal aims his kicks on Nate’s notoriously skinny legs, which is made further vulnerable due to his bladed boxer’s stance.
All in all, this is gonna be a violent 5-round war. I don’t see Nate KOing Masvidal with his attrition-style punches and it’ll take a substantial amount of fight IQ for Masvidal to knock Nate out, the Diaz Brothers’ infamous granite chin and endurance notwithstanding.
Ah, combat sports. We don’t deserve you.

Spent much of today watching videos from the YouTube channel of a professional painting 'restorer.' Very entertaining and informative. I'll link one. The painting in this video is actually in pretty good shape, compared to many of the paintings he deals with. About all it needs is very minor repair of damaged/missing paint, cleaning, and varnish replacement. The frame, on the other hand, receives a more heavy-duty treatment, in good part to undo changes made during a previous restoration. The Conservation of George Inness' "The Roman Campagna"In this video, on the other hand, the painting itself needs a hella lot of restoration.

QUOTE(Jacki Dice @ Dec 22 2019, 11:58 PM) I'm watching the Spartacus show that was on Starz. My boyfriend is super into historical type stuff and he suggested it. It's usually not my thing, but it was so messy! It's like a Roman novela! I'm on season 2 now
I enjoyed Season 1 (Blood and Sand) and Season 2 (Gods of the Arena), but it lost me in Season 3 (Vengeance). I don’t know if it was Andy Whitfield (the actor who played Spartacus in Season 1) dying and the guy who replaced him not being as likable, if it was because the show really suffered from the departure of the Batiatus household, or if it was because the actual war just wasn’t as interesting to me as the Gladiator stuff. Maybe it was a combination of all of those things *shrugs*. In any case, I hope you enjoy it!

It is. The main character looks like an average guy and he has some good qualities: he looks out for those in need, especially children and those younger than him such as a fourteen year old girl who’s hanging out with creeps and a young boy who’s being verbally abused by his stepfather. Having grown up a certain way he can sympathize.
On the downside.... he’s a sociopath. A very analytical stalker, a kidnapper, and a serial killer who has severe obsession issues. It’s an interesting take, since we usually see others trying to bring down the killer in mysteries but in this we get deep inside his head as he orchestrated himself into the life of the woman he’s stalking. It’s very psychological. But it does get VERY disturbing.
My wife hated the ending. She couldn’t rest well, it kinda threw her off a bit.
I have never watched any Power Rangers growing up and I really regret it!

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed. I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”

All this talk of sociopaths and serial killers has led me back to one of, if not the, best realistic portrayals of those type of cats in movie history. Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecktor in the ‘86 film Manhunter. He’s what you would expect of a monster wearing human skin; calculated, cold, hollow, empty, but *so filled with synthetic human warmth* as to disarm you the way an old, congenial University professor would.
He’s not too tryhard as Sir Hopkins’ interpretation nor is he an aristocratic snob like Mads’. Brian Cox’s Hannibal is just the sort of guy who would, as ghoulish as it is, probably thrive in our own real world.

I watched the first season. I love stalker movies and I got super into it. I was gonna buy the book and everything. Then the ending happened. I didn't see that ending the way it did and I was mad. Super mad. I'm not watching the second season. 😒
