OPEN POST: "Project Hail Mary" (a review)

Image
I saw "Project Hail Mary" ( in the theater! ) last night and I loved all two and a half hours of it (it's even better than "Cats" )! I've been hearing about how good it is, but I had no idea what it's about (I hadn't seen any ads, probably because my tv's always on MeTv and most of the ads are for term-life insurance), but it isn't a religious film, it's sci-fi, but not drearily dystopian or aliens committing horrors. I can't remember any movie where I've smiled so much all through it. A brief precis: something molecular called astrophages are eating up the energy of the sun, which could lead to our planet's extinction, as well as other stars in our universe, except for one star. A ship has to be sent to that one star that hasn't been affected to figure out why, and to stave off our own destruction. Sounds pretty grim, huh?  Well, it ain't. Ryan Gosling is Dr. Grace, a professor at a middle school for brainiacs, and he...

Blunt wore a pearl-encrusted choker paired with a very voluminous Schiaparelli gown. Hathaway went for a rich red Louis Vuitton dress with matching platform heels. Meryl looks to wearing some variation of a Halloween costume I wore in fifth grade and Tucci, well, he's in a suit! What do you think of these lewks, Peckers?

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday (and Puff-Puff) With The Merry Marion Montgomery!

Image
Happy 4/20, music sloots, and welcome to another edition of Manor Music Monday, today with a little puff-puff or a gummy or two. Why? Because it's 4/20, silly, a holiday started in the early 1970s by a bunch of "burn-out" teens at San Rafael High School, the numbers being code for a time, or 4:20pm, when they'd secretly meet to smoke weed by, or all things, a statue of Louis Pasteur.  What does this have to do with music or DJ Li'l Scratch? Absolutely nothing, but then don't expect our furry DJ to make sense today as he's lit like a sparkler. Better still, he'll be busy tonight at "Richard Johnson's," the Manor's after hours club and vape lounge, where you'll hear tunes by a deceptively loony, yet supremely talented jazz songstress. Why look, it's none other than Marion Montgomery. If you live in the UK, you might know of her, since she was an American-born jazz singer who married a Brit and thereafter became a much-beloved f...

Open Post: The Kids Are Not Alright: Looksmaxxing. WTF Gen Z?

Image
What are these problem children up to now? Um…Nothing good so it seems. For those who haven’t paid attention because the “you in danger girl” meme silently distracted you from absorbing this knowledge with cute kittens and puppy algorithms, then I am sorry to be the one to have to drag you out of protective, blissful ignorance. I am sorry. I am.  To put it bluntly, Gen Z wins the most absurd generational trend category in a landslide. Just look at Gen X. Their entire youth was an exercise in survival of the fittest; Darwin’s theory was in full effect.  One friend remembers eating bowls of cereal and pouring milk from cartons with the faces of missing kids with "have seen me" on them. Basically, a latchkey kid is home all alone and decides a bowl of cereal sounds good, but some authority thought that advertising that bad shit happens to kids while kids make a bowl of cereal was an ace idea. Maybe the vulnerable child knew little Timmy before the bad man in the van got him....
