The Good, the Bad, the Weird

Certainly the best Korean "Western" if not the best Asian Western overall, it's a blast to watch. Be sure to watch the original (Korean/DVD) cut instead of the international (Netflix) cut. The international version leaves out a couple of scenes at the end which tell you what happened to some of the main characters.

If you were teaching a film class, this would be a good film to show.

Also known under the title "Killer Karaoke". I guess to not confuse it with another movie that was also called Premika. The actress playing the lead, Gena Desouza, had appeared as a guest at the New York Asian American Film Festival in 2018 when this movie screened there. I found it to be a fun and goofy movie. And let's face it, if you were to ask which country makes the highest percentage of horror movies that are also comedies, it is Thailand. If you see a horror movie from that country, there's a good chance it's also a comedy.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

In the comics, Namor is known as being the world's first mutant, his mutant ability being the wings on his ankles that enable him to fly. He also refers to himself as a mutant in this movie, making it the first mention of mutants in the MCU.

Thor: Ragnarok

We see Skurge the Excutioner using machine guns against Hela's forces, which is something that did occur in the comics, the cover of Thor# 362 shows Skurge doing this. The story arc this occurs in is after the one involving Malekith and the Dark elves as shown in Thor The Dark World where the elves invaded Earth and Assgardian forces stopped them. Another Assgardian, Harokin, got the firearms from soem U.S. soldiers and brought them to Assgard where they were given to Skurge so he could hold off Hela's forces.

Bride of Frankenstein

In the scene where the hunters find the monster in the home of the blind man, they yell that it's the monster created by Frankenstein, yet prior to this no one knew that Frankenstein was the one that created the monster.

Black Widow

The first scene takes place in 1993 and has Natasha as a little girl living in the mid west, Ohio. Her character has multi color hair which would be unusual for a girl of that age today, let alone one in the mid west during that time period, especially one who was supposed to be undercover and thus should not be drawing attention to herself.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea

I hadn't seen this movie since the late 1970's and didn't remember Barbara Eden and Frankie Avalon being in it. I did remember Walter Pidgeon and Peter Lorre being in it. Del Monroe was only actor in both the movie and in the series. Overall a good movie and it might be one of the earliest ones to later become a TV series. If I recall correctly the main plot this movie was also the plot of one of the TV episodes. I noticed that in both the movie and TV series characters would sometimes smoke cigars or cigarettes in the submarine which is not allowed in submarines today and might not have been allowed back when the movie came out.

Mothra vs. Godzilla

Note to people visiting Infant Island, radiation suits won't do you any good if you neglect to wear the included gloves and head gear. Also it looks like Godzilla gets to destroy the another castle as he did in King Kong Vs Godzilla, this time by tripping on it. the guy just loves to destroy landmarks.

I had seen it under the English title "Dead Bite", Trakt had it listed under it's original Thailand title, "Gancore Gud". Since I first wrote this they changed the Trakt listing to the English title, but now it's listed twice on Trakt. It's not meant to be serious so anyone watching shouldn't take it seriously and just enjoy it for the laughs.

So no one mentioned that the "Prime Directive" was violated in this story. And let's face it, Kirk has done this a number of times, forced Federation (aka Western) values on another culture.

I've noticed that Trakt only has 7 seasons listed while Netflix has seasons 7 - 10, having just recently dropped the first 6 seasons that
originally aired on FOX. Did Netflix make further episodes since I don't see them mentioned anywhere else?

So Hazel gives his and Cha-Cha's guns to number 5 so that Diego can get cleared of the murder of Patch, it doesn't seem to have occurred to him that the guns being in their home will just make the cops more certain the Diego killed Patch, and implicate his family as well.

I like how when a new pirate is introduced, they show that pirates wanted poster on the screen and then that pirate grabs or rips it off the screen.

Real smart dude, you enter a military base that has dead bodies all over the place, you see a locked room with something inside banging on the door and you open the door to see what's in it, not once thinking that whatever killed a bunch of armed soldiers could be the thing behind the door.

Moon Knight: 1x03 The Friendly Type

After the fight with the guys that Marc was trying to get info from, when Marc comes back and two of the guys are down, he looks surprised and Steven is saying from the mirror that he didn't do this, and since he lacks fighting skills, that would be true and there may be a possible third personality involved. In the comics Moon Knight does have a third personality, Jake Lockley, and that may be the case in this series as well and that Marc and Steven are not yet aware of this third persona. And the Egyptian Gods don't really seem that wise seeing taht they just accept Harrows claims without any proof when his people are digging up a site just a few miles away. Also, it's not the time for Gods, just for men, do they know that the Thunder God Thor is running around out there?

Note that this was the first time that a character in the series used the Haku ability as Shanks used it on the sea king. Also we're introduced to a former member of Gol D. Rogers crew and another member is mentioned but appears in the following episode, however them being former crewmen of Gol D. isn't revealed until episode 400 of the anime. And if you noticed, I called him Gol D. Rogers, not Gold Rogers which is what the navy and world government publicly calls him as the World Government doesn't want the rest of the world to know of the existence of people from the D clan and that they still exist.
