No idea why, but I am so hyped for this movie. Robert Pattinson is one of my favorite actors to watch right now. Didn't see that coming.
Getting prepped for spooky season by getting a few Sherlock Holmes pastiche novels, including: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Holmes Sherlock Holmes Vs. Dracula and The Giant Rat of Sumatra Should make for interesting Sherlockin'.
Came across the show "Younger" while I was looking for more recent Hilary Duff work, and you know what? It's a really good show. Genuinely funny, witty, well-written, and the cast is solid! I am on the last episode of Season 1. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good comedy.
Was lucky enough to see Hilary Duff live with my sisters last night. Truly magical experience. That girl is giving back to her fans in a big way.
So, Digger. A new trailer dropped for this latest entry from director Alejandro G. Inarritu...for some reason starts off as a pretentious celebration of Tom Cruise, and then we get like one line from the movie...I guess they are building it as a career defining role? I'm still gonna see it but...odd
Listening to "Treasure Island" in Audiobook format. Very good storytelling. Lots of adventure.
Some pics from the Short Circuit 40th Anniversary. Such a fun experience
Road Trip! Heading to Astoria to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of this silly sci-fi comedy from the 80's -- SHORT CIRCUIT! Very excited to meet Steve Guttenberg, Ally Sheedy, AND Johnny Five!!
Got a fun night planned to see "Fat Ham" at Portland Center Stage. This show caught my eye when it was at the Ashland Shakespeare Festival and was making waves. It's a modern reimagining of Shakespeare's Hamlet with a BIPOC cast and set in a trailer park. Very excited to check it out...
"Is This Seat Taken?" Is a cute, cozy little puzzle-like game. Available on Steam.

Been over a year since my last entry, but it felt like it was time to return to my watchthrough of TNG... Star Trek: The Next Generation S3 Episode 13: "Deja Q"

Was so delighted to stumble across a modest little single-screen movie house in the city, and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite theater's just for their fun selection and screenings. Checking out a Kurosawa/Mifune double-feature with Yojimbo and Sanjuro tomorrow. They even host VHS nights!
What's your favourite behind the scenes picture? I'm cheating. It's a tie, but from the same movie!
Gotta give a shoutout to the movie Moonlight, which came out that year. Such a simultaneously heartbreaking and uplifting movie. And it is shot beautifully.
Funny thing is, Pressure Point isn't even a fighting movie but the movie poster makes it look like it. #LastFourWatched
The 1985 version of "The Night of the Meek" stars Richard Mulligan (who I recognize from the Babes in Toyland starring Drew Barrymore), and William Atherton as the typical unlikable executive-type. Mulligan makes interesting choices as "Santa" but overall I liked the update to the material.
