  • I went on a Disney cruise for a family vacation this past week, and we got to see Fantastic Four, Freakier Friday, and Tron: Ares.

    Fantastic Four was fun, but it’s kinda just another MCU movie.

    Freakier Friday I had literally zero expectations for, but I honestly found it very fun and endearing. It’s similar to the first one, but different enough to feel fresh and new, and there really wasn’t that much Millennial/Gen Z/Gen Whatever humor in the movie either, which I appreciated. They brought back all the actors who were in the first movie, including Lohan’s old band mates, and her old crush (who, imo, has probably the funniest parts of the whole movie). I’d honestly recommend anyone who was even slightly entertained by the 2003 one to watch this sequel.

    Tron: Ares was cool to watch, but a lot of the Jared Leto scenes made it feel painfully obvious that this was his movie that he wanted to make. Like it’s literally just Jared Leto talking about the stuff he likes like Depeche Mode (there are literally two scenes where they talk about DM, but the second one at least kinda makes sense imo). The action was cool, the effects were well done, it was cool to see programs interact with and be in the real world, and it had some very interesting mechanical ideas. The soundtrack was pretty good too, it felt kinda like a chunkier/grittier version of Legacy.


  • I liked the “magic fight” in the first movie, because it shows Dave Franco’s character is incredibly capable of turning/working for the government. Like the way he disguises his voice after hearing the other guy say a couple things or disappearing right in front of him, and the cards. Imo they should have used their magic for more espionage and covert shit than whatever the hell they ended up doing.

    The second one is dumb as hell, but still fairly entertaining if you actually turn your brain off for most of the physics and such.

    I don’t really have high hopes for this one, but I’ll probably watch it on streaming eventually one day when it comes out.










  • Getting back into Schedule 1 after a few months, it’s still fun and decently chill to just be a drug dealer for wacky cartoon drug addicts.

    I have almost all the properties - all I’m missing is the docks warehouse - I have all possible customers, I’m almost done taking out the rival drug cartel in the game, and I’m still only based out of the barn. I also finally got around to hiring my first few employees so I don’t have to constantly be mixing up new shit to sell or give to my dealers. I’m excited to see what else they add to the game (it’s still in EA).

    After I’m done with that, I’ll probably jump back into Abiotic Factor and try to finish the story of that one.
