Blog Update

Hey guys! How are all of you doing? I'm doing pretty well under the circumstances. I decided to do a weekly blog update for you to let you know what I'm doing on the blog as well as what's going on with me. Earlier today I put out my review of The Magician King by Lev Grossman. I hope you enjoyed that review because I enjoyed writing it. I also got my first VHS movie review out there on Sunday with Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. I loved going back and reliving my childhood with that tape. I spent the better part of Sunday going through all of my VHS tapes and rewinding the tapes that needed to be rewound and checking them out to make sure they work because that's going to be my source for movie reviews for the next little while. Some of the tapes I don't have much connection to because I didn't own them when I was a kid, but other tapes I own I do have a connection to. So that was a fun day.

As for other reviews that I've got planned for this week, I've got several that I'm going to do. Tomorrow I'll be reviewing another comic book from the remnants of my childhood collection. And that book is the comic book adaptation of 1992 animated/live action hybrid film, Cool World. I've never seen the movie before and I haven't actually read the comic before either. How I got it though was actually a special occasion, so I'll talk a little bit about that when I review the book tomorrow. I'm not going to have a review for you on Thursday, but Thursday is when the season 1 finale of Star Trek: Picard airs, so I'm going to do a season 1 review on Friday morning to get my thoughts out now that the season is finished. Finally, on Saturday I'm going to put out a review of The Terminator (1984). I've never seen this movie before and for my first viewing I'm going to be watching it on VHS so I'm looking forward to that. I'm hoping that the movie is just as good as everyone says it is and that I actually like it.

Aside from blog stuff, there's not a whole lot going on with me this week. I'm still in protective isolation so I'm at home doing my usual thing. Which honestly isn't that different from what I was doing before the Coronavirus hit us. The only real difference is that I can't have people over to hang out or go out with Brad or Katie. That's about it really.

Before I go I would like to mention something that I haven't talked about on the blogs before. Spoilers. Generally I don't like to give away very much in my reviews because I want you to experience these books, movies and comics for yourselves. But, for The Magicians and The Magician King I felt I had to give certain things away in order to talk about the characters. But I won't be doing spoilers in any of my other reviews except for some minor ones in my Star Trek: Picard review on Friday.

I think that's all I wanted to talk to you about today. I'll be back tomorrow with my review of Cool World: The Official Comic Book Adaptation. Take care.
