As I indicated in my latest update on AOS, Young and Beautiful, I am taking a bit of a break from posting.
I’ll be around Wednesday and Thursday, but will be working on something else for those days, and then I will be off on my wine tasting weekend in Paso Robles Friday-Sunday. Probably won’t have written anything to post until Tuesday of next week.
I think next up on the spreadsheet is Forever I am With You, so likely that is what I will update some time next week.
And speaking of upcoming vacations, as I think I have said, we are going to Yellowstone Park in June. Well next January looks like we are off on another Caribbean Cruise. The last one was fun and this time a group of us are going and we are getting rooms with Balconies and special spa access and privileges. I think most of the destinations are places we’ve been to but there is one we haven’t which is Amber Cove in the Dominican Republic.
In the meantime, myself and the great grand M are going to Morro Bay for the weekend of April 01. I cannot wait. We have a balcony room with a view of the ocean and bay. This is a favorite getaway of ours.
Last night we went to see Get Out and it turned out to be a pretty decent movie. I thought it was going to be horror but it was more a thriller where you ended up thinking, what is with these weirdos? I think next Tuesday (Tuesdays are cheap here so that’s why we go) we will probably see Logan. We usually wait until the following week to see popular movies until the crowds get a little thinner. Except Star Trek. I must see that right away always.
Speaking of, it seems like they are going ahead with Star Trek 4. I have mixed feelings about this. Of course I want to see Pinto in it and everyone else and the idea of having Jim’s daddy in the form of Chris Hemsworth is an intriguing one. But I don’t want to see more of the Spock/Uhura crap and I know I will and I just don’t want to go there yet again. Everyone but JJ Abrams agrees it’s a stupid, ridiculous plot point. It even made watchmojos list on youbtube of pointless romances in movies.
So yeah, I love Star Trek and I want to see them make more, especially since so many were convinced that Beyond was too much of a failure to make another, and I like to say, fuck you to all those critics and idiots who think you have to make 900 Million or you aren’t a success, but part of me wishes they would just let it go because I know Spock with Uhura will once more be shoved down our throats.
Well, that’s probably more than I wanted to say, but there you have it.

Back with more to say 😊
Hope you have a fun weekend away! Don’t go overboard on the wine LOL
Again, super jealous of Yellowstone trip. It’s on my bucket list so I hope one day I can go. Cruises are fun. I have only been on one before back in…honestly, I can’t remember. 03, 04? IDK. I was a kid 😊 It was a Carnival cruise and we went to Key West, Belize, and Cozumel. I liked Belize better because we went cave tubing down this windy river but had to walk like a mile to the start of the river through what felt like a jungle. Morro Bay looks so pretty 😊 Have fun!
I heard Get Out was really good. Its not the type of movie I like though but maybe when it comes out on DVD I’ll give it a try. Logan was really good! Super recommend it
While I am excited for another Star Trek movie, I agree that the Spock/Uhura thing needs to stop. Its not good and they’ve never shown their relationship in the movies in a good light at all. They’re always fighting or something but I definitely don’t want to see them in a romantic sense either. Just leave it.

I’ve been on several cruises so yep, they are
As I said it was not horror but a thriller so I was pleasantly surprised.
I hope Logan was better than the other Wolverines because I hated those. They were bad.
Based on what Zach and Zoe said during the press release for Beyond, they will definitely be still involved. It sucks.

I think we’ve discussed this before, but I don’t understand why actors can’t just admit that something is wrong with their movie. Clearly Spock/Uhura is wrong. There doesn’t need to be a romance in those movies.
I think you’ll enjoy Logan. I hope you do. I did, much better than Wolverine and the Origins one

I’m pretty sure most movie studios frown on their actors bashing their movies publicly. What they basically said was they thought their relationship at the end of the movie was very hopeful. That says yeah they are back together. All I can say is that I hope the focus is so much on Kirk and George Kirk that we barely see any traces of the so-called romance. It’s disheartening that they’ve been together that long nevertheless

I heard from a friend Logan was much better than any of the Wolverine movies. We’ll see. I plan on going to see it this weekend.
I am on the bandwagon to stop with this Spock/Uhura thing in the film. Her character (not the actress) just rubs me the wrong way in relation to Spock. I just don’t see a strong connection between the two characters. I can’t fathom why writers thought of this pairing between Spock and Nyota, it does not make sense to me. Let’s hope the focus is on the Kirk family and perhaps the trivium of Spock, Kirk and McCoy.
Enjoy the wine tasting!

Yeah I have no objection to Zoe, she’s playing the character as they wrote it,I just object to the way they’ve blatantly altered everything about the character of Uhura to turn her into a manipulative shrew who needs to have a boyfriend to be relevant in Trek. It’s BS and insulting to Nichelle Nichols in my opinion.

Yes I agree wholeheartedly that the writers of the first two went far and beyond shoveling a mouthful of that ship they call Spock/Uhura. It left a bad taste in my mouth.
I do not see the character of Uhura wrapping her arms around any man asking him “tell me what you need.” I have been married for over 18+ years and have never lower myself to my man. I have learned it takes two people to make the foundation of a relationship work. I just don’t see
any chemistry or a foundation of anything between Spock and Nyota.
Okay stepping off my soapbox now as I shout “Long live SPIRK!”

Trolling not allowed:
To the person who left the comment I have marked as spam (and will every one of your comments should you comment again).
This is my blog and I don’t need your offensive bigoted statements that Kirk and Spock are not a romance but Spock and Uhura are and you can’t wait for them to get het married in the next movie. I’m well aware there are plenty out there just like you and you can ship Santa and the Easter Bunny for all I care. I don’t have to acknowledge or recognize your point of view in any way on my personal space. You are wrong. I don’t agree with you, buttercup, deal with it.
And why you give a rat’s ass about my thoughts enough to write a big comment from a post 11 days ago I didn’t even finish reading before I got rid of it to spam, I can’t imagine. Grow up. Seriously. It’s not as though I have any power over what Paramount does. Go crawl back under your bridge and troll someone else.
