  1. From my FB review...

     

    Movie Review: Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire (2024). This sequel to 2021's Godzilla vs Kong more or less picks up right where the earlier film left off. Overall, this was much better than I expected (though my expectations were admittedly low). While the movie isn't deep by any means, it moves along at a brisk pace and is generally engaging throughout. I give extra credit for the decent amount of personality given to Kong and kin (and they also carry much of the movie). The only real negatives are the somewhat rushed ending and Godzilla mostly regulated to a supporting role. Better half guessed the extra guest star. I'm so proud. 🙂 Worth a rental at the very least.

  2. I think all of them have something positive in them. Enemies for Hire is probably the weakest of the bunch because both the ideas and writeups are so pedestrian. I'm a big fan of Horror Enemies, Allies, and Classic Enemies myself. Enemies 3 had a lot of villains who never returned.

  3. The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act is a proposed bill in the United States Congress. Introduced by representative Mike Gallagher and Raja Krishnamoorthi, the bill would make it illegal to facilitate the distribution or servicing of social media applications designated as being controlled by United States foreign adversaries, unless their operations are divested as to not be controlled by a foreign adversary.

    The bill explicitly targets Chinese internet technology company ByteDance and its video platform TikTok, and also provides for other large social media applications to be targeted under the bill if they are deemed to pose a threat to national security. It was passed by the House of Representatives on March 13, 2024.

     

    Am I the only one worried about how problematic this bill can potentially be?  :(

    I'd love to say I believe that this was a rare example of compassion and sense from Republicans in Alabama, but I suspect it was just recognition that this court decision is so wildly unpopular, it could cost some Republicans reelection even in deep-red Alabama.

     

    Nonetheless, the right thing for the wrong reason is still the right thing.

     

    We're taking every win that presents itself.

  5. Whoops....I forgot I intend to use SHIELD...

    I saw that. The wiki does point out he must have some memories of something because he is able to become Ultraman in later versions of the show helping other Ultramen save the day.

    I just assumed Ultraman was able to just assume his form in later series just like Ultras like Seven and Mebius had human disguises without literally merging with a person.. Maybe the OG Ultraman just uses that form as a tribute to Hayata. Anyways....way off topic here. LOL

    I am picking Shin Hayata, the first Ultraman, as my paragon. Despite being separated from his giant friend at the end of his own run, he has returned time and again to save the day.

    As a side note, the Japanese version suggests that Hayata has no memory of any events between episodes #1 and #39!

    The lion suit guy-  I have never been able to buy into that.

     

    I'm assuming you mean Kraven the Hunter? In addition to presumedly being great at his chosen profession, he also uses a lot of gear and a potion that increases his physical abilities to superhuman levels.
