The Cheese Stands Alone

 Tu 4/29/25- Gummy  720am (I took 1/2 of a 100 mg 'DAY DRIFT': 50 mg total). 735am (1-LB: Sativa Shake). 1010am (1-LB: Guavadew).  115pm (1-LB:  Sativa Shake). 235pm (3 hits-B: Guavadew). 430pm (1-LB:  Sativa Shake). 815pm (1-LB: Guavadew).  Up 615am: {restless night}. Threatening early (no rain), then mostly cloudy with temps to just over 70. Tax Bill was in the mailbox and payments are due June 6, 2025 and September 5, 2025. The paperwork is hanging on the inside of the kitchen cabinet door by the toaster. I wrote up 'POLYMATH' by John Brunner and 'VALIS' by PK Dick for the blog. Finished 'THE TERROR' (Netflix). The costumes alone made it 'must watch'. Watched a YouTube review of the series & learned that the show was based on an acclaimed novel by Dan Simmons. ***A 50 mg edible is the perfect compliment to the end of the series.  Watched 'KINDA PREGNANT' (Netflix).

What an odd film. It's about a 28 year old immature guy who goes to Denmark to deliver a letter from his recently deceased father to his grandfather. He's never met granddad and he learns that his grandfather was a Nazi during WWII and the letter was meant to sever all ties with granddad. The young man has met a sexy girl to help him translate but soon learns that the girl is only fourteen. Then he is faced with two dilemmas. How does he deal with the fact that both his father and grandfather were horrible parental models and how can he keep from having sex with a sultry and willing fourteen year old? Clearly difficult subjects, yet the film delivered. "71" Metas...

 Su 4/27/25 Up 650am {well rested}. Partly cloudy with temps to mid 60's. 810am (1-LB: Panama Punch).  1005am (I took a couple of hits from an ancient roach that I found in a kitchen drawer along with a prescription bottle of Buddy's and some hairball gel.  The roach was still potent and half an inch remains. The cat paraphernalia has left the building). 1250pm (the remainder of the roach & a hit of PERMANENT MARKER: B). 435pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 535pm (1-LB:  Panama Punch). 815pm (1-LB: Panama Punch). Weekly Cleaning Watched 'MURDER AT YELLOWSTONE CITY' (Netflix). Set  in 1881 in Montana, this film is the story of a local man who had just struck gold.  The man with the gold is murdered and the killing is blamed on a mysterious black stranger. He didn't do it and the local pastor and his wife took up arms to protect him. Lots of Christian bias in the film, although the black guy's knowledge of Shakespeare was quite impressive; with Isaiah Mustafa ...

However, at 1030am I noticed that the red light on the router is now 'on'.  Everything is running AOK, so what changed?   I hit the dandelions out front with the grass whip to marginal effect. They just won't stay down, but I'm learning to live with it.  Watched 'BULLET TRAIN EXPLOSION' (Netflix). There is a bomb on a Japanese bullet train and authorities try to devise a plan to save the passengers while the train barrels down the track at breakneck speed. It's the essence of 'cheeseball entertainment' and no new ground is broken. I was amazed that the monitoring equipment used at the high-speed control center seemed so ancient. You expected to see ...

Light rain this morning and a chance of rain this afternoon with temps to mid 70's.  Watched 'SENECA' (Hoopla). Seneca, a Roman philosopher and statesman, is a trusted advisor to the insane Roman Emperor, Nero. The narcissistic tyrant decides that Seneca must go and he offers him a gift. Instead of being tortured to death, he can take his own life. The film doesn't take itself too seriously and Malkovic is perfect for the role of Seneca. A German production directed by Robert Schwentke and filmed in Morocco..."What is wrongly gained, is wrongly lost".  Watched 'KNEECAP' (Netflix). An Irish high school teacher and a couple of hoods decide to form an Irish Rap Group and sing/rap in their native Irish language...

PREMISE: The president's daughter is kidnapped by a human trafficking operation while attending college in Boston. The president was visiting Boston to see a call girl and needed his daughter's secret service detail. Due to the lack of security his daughter was abducted. The administration releases a fake report that the president's daughter died in a boating accident fearing that it would come out that the president was a frequenter of prostitutes and he would lose the presidency. The script is sharp & military precise and feels 'hyper-real'; with Val Kilmer, Tia Texada, Derek Luke, Kristin Bell (as the president's daughter). Written and...

Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix).

Mostly sunny with temps to upper 70's.  Watched 'BORREGO' (Netflix- leaving soon). A female botanist is at work in the desert when she becomes involved in a failed drug smuggling operation. A plane drops out of the sky and the plant scientist becomes a captive of the drug running pilot. It's pretty tame and about what you would expect- 'The Perils of Pauline' miles from The Salton Sea.  The movie was filmed in Borrego Springs, California and the Tabernas Desert in Almeria, Spain. In Spanish 'borrego' refers to a young sheep or lamb  {less than one year old} and could also describe someone who is docile or submissive. Watched 'WE GROWN NOW' (Netflix).

A cloudy morning, then mostly bright & sunny & windy with temps to mid 60's.  Watched 'DEMON CITY' (Netflix). A retired Japanese hitman's wife and young daughter are murdered in front of him. The mayor is responsible and all of his henchmen wear demon masks when they get violent. The hitman wreaks catastrophic vengeance for the slaughter of his family and the film becomes a cartoonish bloodbath. Lots of choreographed fisticuffs (messy) and knife fights (messier) that could only exist in fantasy. It's far too silly to be believed, but about what you'd expect in this type of film.  The hero lives in Shinjo which is a city in the north central part of Japan. Watched 'RED FEVER' (Kanopy).

It's an improbable love story wrapped in the premise of the quest for the secret of Cold Fusion; with Val Kilmer, Elisabeth Shue, Rade Serbedzija. 1 win & 2 nominations. "50" Metascore and I would go to "78".   1015am: Flying high as the second gummy kicks in...nice... low anxiety.   Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix).

The film is a dire critique on the juvenile prison system of Thailand.  It offers no hope of rehabilitation and authorities sit back and watch while the inmates set the guidelines. These rules are arbitrary and contradictory and are particularly violent. The safety and security of the prisoners is zero and this makes the film almost too hard to believe... 'Abandon all hope ye who venture here'... I couldn't go any higher than a 'C-Plus'. The central character is from Phra Khanong which is a neighborhood of Bangkok, Thailand. 1015am: Tony called and he'll be over tomorrow morning at 10am. The drive belt is on order and he says he can clean the existing belt ...

A very different and poetic video biography of a young woman's life on Coney Island. Kota was born in the Dominican Republic and her boyfriend, Yuri must return to Ukraine to take care of his ailing father. This relationship ends when she finds out she's pregnant, she loses the baby, yet her life moves on. The film becomes a montage of the highs and lows in her life. It's very Arty & Dreamy and definitely a fresh take on autobiographical film making. Featured at Sundance Film Festival 2024 and inspired by 'Wildflower' by The Avalanches.  Watched 'MEAN GIRLS' (Kanopy). More clever than funny, but it adeptly manages to present a sharp & sa...

'Frost Warning' in effect until 8am. Watched 'COURT: State vs. A Nobody' (Netflix). The movie was filmed in Visakhapatnam, India which is on the central eastern coast of India on the Bay of Bengal.  "The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012 was enacted to provide a robust legal framework for the protection of children from offences of sexual assault, sexual harassment and pornography, while safeguarding the interest of the child at every stage of the judicial process." The film is about a nineteen year old Indian boy who is accused of rape because a video showed him entering a room with his seventeen year old girlfriend.  The girl's father is an important figure in the town and employs illegal means to 'pr...

Watched 'JUSTICE' (Netflix). I had seen this before and gave it 'two thumbs up' and it's a solid Police Procedural and although not excellent, it was well worth a second viewing. A Polish police detective who was kicked off the force after the fall of Communism is brought back to solve a bank robbery. Three innocent women were brutally executed during the robbery because they came to the bank early to have an office birthday party. The cagey detective is able to sift through the evidence, identify the crew and close the case.   Watched 'TALK TO ME' (Netflix). Another one that I'd seen before, however this was barely worth a second viewing. It's pretty much a standard 'Teen Scream' genre film without a ...

Watched 'HOW TO MAKE MILLIONS BEFORE GRANDMA DIES' (Netflix).  In working class Bangkok a young slacker becomes his  grandmother's caretaker, but he's really only in it for the inheritance. I guess the moral is that you can 'fake it until you make it', because, in the end, he understands and appreciates the love that they shared. Maybe it's just a Thai thing, but it seems that most relatives scheme to keep fortunes within the family and who gets what is highly cont...

Weekly Cleaning Watched 'YEAR 10' (Hoopla- borrowed yesterday).  Before the movie begins: "It was all over in a day. At first, the living ate the dead. By year 10, the living ate the living". This sounds like a premise for another movie because this film is about a man in a post-apocalyptic mountainous environment who is fleeing a group of villains (cannibals?) while trying to retrieve medicine for his wounded girlfriend (sister?). Relationships are unclear because there isn't a word of dialogue in the film. However, it is clearly conveyed that there is no fresh water, food, clothing, or medicine and, as if that wasn't enough,...

Watched 'HOLY SPIDER' (Kanopy). The film is set in Mashhad, Iran which is in the far northeastern part of the country near the border with Turkmenistan. It's based on an actual serial killer of prostitutes who operated in Mashhad between 2000 and 2001. While at trial the killer was very popular and many felt that he was 'cleansing the city of corrupt women'. The filmmaker (directed and co-written by Ali Abbasi) claims that he wasn't just making a film about a serial killer, but he was trying to describe a 'serial killer society' and he portrays the deep and fundamental fear and distrust of women that is always present in deeply fundamentalist Muslim areas of the world. {Odd...

Watched 'CLEMENCY' (Kanopy). A powerful drama about a black female prison warden as she deals with the emotional burden of 'the execution procedure'. It's slow paced, yet completely riveting; with Alfre Woodard, Richard Schiff, Aldis Hodge, Wendell Pierce (THE WIRE). Nominated for 1 BAFTA Award; 4 wins & 32 nominations. "77" Metascore and I would bump it to "84".   Watched '20 DAYS IN MARIUPOL' (PPS). Mariupol, Ukraine is on the Sea of Azov and in the far southeast part of Ukraine.

Watched 'LESSON PLAN' (Netflix). Some of the most unconvincing martial arts scenes that I've ever seen in a film, although the idea of a gang 'running' a high school is somewhat unique. The premise is that Fentanyl was fabricated in the high school lab (the principal was a gang leader) and a cop posing as a history teacher uncovers the clandestine drug operation. More than a little corny, yet an oddly appealing rap soundtrack. 'One Thumb Up'. 1015am: Springfield Clinic called. The nurse listed a whole bunch of things that were found in the MRI, but nothing substantial. Except, microscopic blood in urine and this is the reason for the cystoscopy. I told her that I was seeing Martinek o...

Was this why I loved it? Watched 'DEN OF THIEVES' (Netflix). Another superior bank robbery film. Premise: The Los Angeles branch of the Federal Reserve is also tasked with destroying old US currency. The serial numbers are erased from the system, but if they can get to the old bills before they are destroyed they will have untraceable cash. They stage another bank robbery to conceal the heist at the Federal Reserve. Some great gunplay and car chases, but the dramatic tension is mostly how the pieces of the caper come together.

'Freeze Warning' in effect tonight. Watched 'HEAT' (Netflix). It's a classic bank robber film about a successful gang of thieves who specialize in the biggest scores. Unfortunately, they come up against a police detective who is hip to their game. The chase scenes are classic. Directed by Michael Mann; with Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, Jon Voight, Tom Sizemore, Ashley Judd, Tom Noonan, and an extremely young Natalie Portman. "76" Metascore and I would go to "86".
