Endless Ends

[Endless_Night]

-It's raining!!!
-Why am I being inundated with political emails?
-Yale has free courses!

That first one is particularly important as it gives me an excuse to not do my planned yard work.

#slacker

 

[Seokrocks]

I’d love to be a slacker today but I got called into work

Oh! And today I learned there is such a thing as cow magnets.

Live and learn.

You mean, like, on the fridge?
Or actual cows that attracted each other through magnetic means?

Nope. And, nope.

Actual magnets that cows ingest.

Dairy cows, mostly. Seems it prevents Hardware Disease.

Something else I'd never heard of.

I grew up in a dairy farm. When cows graze the will eat anything. Almost every cow has a little metal in their stomachs. We used to put a magnet in each cow. That way it collects at one spot and doesn’t cause any harm.

That's what I was reading.

Specialized information.


And I have no memory of what circuitous rabbit hole got me to cow magnets.

I added lunges to my weight workouts last week.

Today I think I tweaked something in my quad.

Dang it!!

*wonders where the ice packs are*

 

[Endless_Night]

I know it's only Friday, but for various reasons I was wiped out early. Mentally and physically.

So.

Mindless movies!

This morning, Llamageddon.

(It is So Much Worse that I remember. )

Now, Sharktopus.

(There is no tentacles sex. So far.)

I keep meaning to watch Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023)!!!

Because, I mean, obvs.

 

[Endless_Night]

Welp. I did manage to do some work as well as exercise.

A couple of hours.

It's hot and I am tiiiiiiiired.

#whiney

 

[Endless_Night]

I now settle in for, you guessed it, another bad movie!

It was a toss up. WP: Blood and Honey or Little Dead Rotting Hood (2016).


I found Little Dead first.

Here we go.

 

[Endless_Night]

Oh! There is nudity!

That was, unexpected.

 

[hotwords229_A]

That was, unexpected.

I hope it was gratuitous and graphic. Those are my favorite kind of nuditys.

I can’t argue with that list.

I would suspect nothing less.

Totally gratuitous.

HOLY KITTENS

It's working!

*squeals*

 

[hotwords229_A]

Tonight I watched Alligator (1980). Love it!
I’ve been on a bit of a b-movie monster kick lately.
The Howling (better than a b-movie in my opinion, but others may not agree)
Piranha (1978)
The Blob (1988)

All great movies. Why can’t people make these kind of movies now? Why do they always try to make them bigger and more complicated than they have to be?

What are some others?

 

[Endless_Night]

I worked all weekend. Hard labor.

(I am too old for this. )

Naturally this called for mindless entertainment in the evenings.

Friday - Sharktopus (2010)
Saturday - Sharktopus vs Pteracuda (2014)
Sunday - Sharktopus vs Whalewolf (2015)

Imagine! That first cinematic gem spawned two sequels.

I think back on the 50's period for the early sci-fi/horror films . . . and the first films of a few future stars

Steve McQueen, of course, in the Blob (his first staring role) - 1958

Them - 1954 - with James Whitmore, Edmund Gwenn, James Arness, Fess Parker

Invasion of the Body Snatchers - 1956 - with Donald Sutherland, Jeff Goldblum, Leonard Nimoy, Kevin McCarthy - the scene where the girlfriend (Becky - Dana Wynter) wakes up in the abandoned mine and has been transformed - and the last scene with Sutherland.

The Fly - 1958 - "Help me! Help me!"

The Incredible Shrinking Man - 1957 - the cat and the spider scenes (not been a big cat or spider fan ever since)

Tarantula - 1955 - with Clint Eastwood's 1st movie role as fighter jet squadron leader.

This movie left an indelible mark on childish psyche.

That scene! Where the giant ants are on top on the ant hill and one of them rolls a human skull down the slope. All the while making that noise.



I had nightmares for an entire week. I can still picture that clip.

Note: Parents, monitor what your young children are watching. Eesh.

Saw this one a number of times, as a kid.

Yep. It was terrifying, but I kept going back.
