Just another lil place to post some fun stuff :) Also may contain 18+ material

[naughtygirl286]

So yeah we finally went to see Christopher Nolan's huge Epic The Odyssey. Now I can honestly say I never read the original stories but I do know the general things Now we went to the early like 6-6:30 showing being it was a 3 hour movie. We didn't want to be there late at night and we didn't see it in 70mm IMAX because there isn't one of those locally we just seen it at our regular multiplex I felt the picture was just fine I didn't feel that it was insanely cropped or distorted or anything it looked perfectly fine I didn't feel we were missing anything. Also when we went I would say the theater was probably have packed with people.

Now as for any type of collectable Yes they had the Trojan horse buckets at the theater I seen 2 on display but we didn't get one. I didn't really want one, they looked nice but still I passed on it.

Now as for the movie I'm going to try and not say too much about it I don't want to give anything away.

So what is this actually about? It is basically the story of Odysseus the king of Ithaca (Matt Damon) who leaves his home with his army to fight in the Trojan War after the siege of Troy he and his men go to head home and instead of taking the main route like everyone else they decide to take the "scenic route" and end up getting lost on the way which results in them having to face violent storms, mythical creatures/monsters and Gods as well as magical beings. They literally had to go to Hell and back in order to get home. Which in turn took 10+ years and when Odysseus returns he has to try to regain his kingdom from some underhanded people who want to usurp his throne.

I would honestly say the movie was was somewhat amazing it is big, its epic and it is something that you need to see on the biggest screen you can watch it on. and yes it is a 3 hour thing but when you are watching it it didn't feel like 3 hours. and it is not just the voyage of Odysseus the movie goes back and forth from what he and his men are experiencing and facing to what is happening back in Ithaca where his son Telemachus (Tom Holland) and his wife Penelope (Anne Hathaway) are trying to stop the take over of the kingdom by Antinous (Robert Pattinson) so you kinda of get this bit of mix of I would say political intrigue and these massive spectacle moments with really nice action and visuals.

The movie is very visual when it needs and wants to be. The sets and the shear scoop of the movie is massive and I do feel that it is going to be nominated for a bunch of Oscars.

All the stuff with the Cyclops was really cool and the scenes with Circe turning the guys into pigs was very neat and a bit disturbing at the same time. The land of giants was kind of a crazy action sequence but even though that was cool I was wondering why they attacked Odysseus and his men right off the bat? but I don't really think it matters I guess.. and the final action set piece with Odysseus fighting all the guys in the grand hall was pretty awesome.

I thought everyone did an amazing job as their character and I do feel this movie lived up to the hype and was worth the wait to see it.

The only really main problem I had with the movie was I felt so bad for Odysseus' dog through the scenes he was in and his final scene was so sad!!

Now I wanted to mention a bit about the controversies firstly I feel I missed the woke part of this? but then again what does woke mean anymore? It might mean something different to everyone at this point but I guess I just missed the parts that I would consider woke then?

As for the thing with ellen page no they do not play Achilles (LOL!) of course they play like I guess a scout type of character named Sinon and they are pretty much only in like 2 scenes for a few minutes each the part were the Trojan discover the horse and where Odysseus goes to Hell and talks to Sinon there. the way people were going on it was like they were the main character in every scene but personally I mean it was a good part for them and I feel they fit that role of that character I was pretty much "meh" about them being in there.

Now as for Lupita Nyong'o who was very controversial choice in this and in away I kinda agree with it. Now I have nothing against Lupita Nyong'o she has been great in things I remember seeing her in like the Black Panther movies and she was awesome in A Quiet Place: Day One as well as she had done some amazing voice work in Star Wars and The Wild Robot but in this I do feel like she was out of place as the character of Helen of Troy? I don't know if that is the best way to describe it? but that is just how it feels to me. She could have been Circe or Calypso and I don't think that would have had the same feeling about her but just as Helen like I said she seemed out of place and also she didn't get alot of screen time either so over all I don't know why people were having an absolute fit of these 2 characters.

but yeah I thought it was an excellent movie and I do feel it lived up to the hype and was exciting and interesting and if you want to go see it then I would go and experience it for yourself

[naughtygirl286]

Here is an intresting pick-up this week This came in the mail from Amazon. I usually look at the "deals" section to see if there is any movies or figures on sale and I was surprised to see this!! It was on sale for like $20 I looked to see if there was a Gunsmith Cats blu ray too but there wasn't so I just grabbed one of these. So it was a great find I didn't expect and you should always check the deals section you never know what you'll find!

[naughtygirl286]

More WWE stuff!! yes Wal-Mart was putting out tons more WWE figures! I don't think I seen the pegs here so full of things before so I did pick up a few of them we got Main Event Series 160 Kelani Jordan Main Event Series 164 Ivy Nile and Main Event Series 165 Sol Ruca! I don't think we ever got this many WWE figures at one time before but I guess they were clearing out the back of stock just sitting there and put it all out at once which was awesome for me! So I was happy to get them all.

[naughtygirl286]

you know you’re a geek when you get excited over stuff like this! Yes they had Mandalorian panties at the dollar store! did I buy a set? Hell yeah! you fucking right I did! 😁😄😄

[naughtygirl286]

Here is something. Wal Mart was putting out some WWE stuff this week and it has been a while since I got anything WWE related being the pegs and shelve space are usually empty or filled with ones you don't want. but they were putting stuff out just in time for SummerSlam! So we picked up none other then the SummerSlam Elite Collection Chyna figure! which I thought was awesome and it was great to see them finally getting in some new stuff.

[naughtygirl286]

Our pretty much only movie pick up this week is of course Mortal Kombat II on 4K! I know some will probably bemoan this pick up but actually I thought this was great I enjoyed the movie and that is what matters so yeah Mortal Kombat II!

[naughtygirl286]

So we went to see the new live action Moana movie. I'm not going to say to much about it being if you see the original animated version this is pretty much the exact same thing just in Live action.

Now yes there was a couple of collectable things I got one which you can see here.

Now as for the movie itself I thought it was great! I was also surprised that it didn't do the same amount of business that the Live Action Lilo & Stitch did.

I felt that they didn't change pretty much anything and I feel that they pretty much worked off the same original scrips form the animated movie. They did all the songs, and everything looked like it it did the original movie just done in live action.

Now if you don't know the story of Moana its this: The adventurous teenager Moana (Catherine Laga'aia) leaves her island home and sails out on a daring mission to save her people. On the way, Moana meets the once-mighty demigod Maui (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who reluctantly at first then agrees to help her in her quest. Together they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage,encountering monsters and impossible odds in order to restore balance to her people and her world.

like I said I thought this movie was great! I would have to say it is visually amazing I was very impressed with the level of production design for this and how they recreated everything from the original animated movie in live action. I can probably see this getting nominated for stuff like production design and costumes next year.

Also I thought the visual effects and all that were excellent. they had the characters of Heihei, Pua the lil coconut guys as well as the Crab guy Tamatoa as 3D characters and of course the ssentient ocean waves and such all brought to life. Even on Maui they had the little tattoo Maui doing stuff just like in the animated movie and the Rock was talking to him through the movie which was of course funny.

and like I said they did all the songs "Where You Are" and "How Far I'll Go" and of course The Rock performs "You're Welcome" in live action which I thought was both amazing and hilarious. and of course they did the song "Shiny" with the Crab guy Tamatoa which I thought was a really weird song but yeah they did them all and they even did a really nice song at the end credits called "along the way" which features both Auli'i Cravalho (voice of the animated Moana) and Catherine Laga'aia (Live Action Moana) singing along with The Rock which I thought was absolutely wonderful.

I thought this was also well acted everyone was great in their part. I especially thought Catherine Laga'aia was excellent as the live action Moana. I felt that she really captured the adventurous spirit of the character and did an amazing job.

As for the Rock reprising his role as the demigod Maui I thought this was both great and hilarious with him wearing the long Maui curls and then he starts singing "You're Welcome" and going through the actions its funny and awesome. I thought he did a amazing job breathing actual life into this character even more so then he in in the animated movie. I also thought he had a great chemistry on screen with Catherine Laga'aia's Moana.

like I said I thought it was great! I enjoyed it and I would say if you love the original movies then give this a watch and see how they recreated alot of what they did in the original animated movie.

Now in closing I want to talk about some stuff I heard online. I feel this is one of those things where it shows that the general audience doesn't know what it actually wants because I seen people complain that is movie "isn't original enough!" but at the same time if they were to change anything about this movie or story or anything people would be up in arms and complaining that it was changed or ruined and complained that they changed things and they should have just left it the way is was. like for example Snow White they went and changed the entire story of Snow White and it became an original story different from the original and people had a total fit! So in comes Moana and they didn't really change anything it pretty much the same as the original animated more and.. people have a total fit and complain its not original enough? you basically get what you want and you still complain. I just find that so crazy.

but anyway like I said I thought the movie was great and I liked it and again much like Supergirl I thought it was good and the people I went with thought it was good and everyone seemed to have enjoyed it. So the best thing I can suggest is don’t listen to people who most likely haven’t seen it tell you its awful and watch it and make up your own mind.

[naughtygirl286]

Now yes there was stuff for the live action Moana! We did have a bit of a problem with one of the things which I talk about below. So As Usual we went down opening night we didn’t get there early as I would have liked but we went down and grabbed stuff before it became sold out and of course it will go quick thanks to resellers and all that.

Now they just had buckets and no cups they had 2 different buckets the first one was a dark blue bucket and had some of Moana's village artwork on it it looked alright they called it the "Ancestors popcorn tub" and the second one was this one which was called the "Double Wall Sea popcorn tub" and I thought this one looked way better and was way cooler the the other one so that is what we got!

It is made of plastic and has this like soft like sea water type of blue to it. its a really nice color I really like it and on the outer wall it has the movies logo on it and like an animated print of Moana and the waves and inside between the 2 walls it has the beach scene with the sand and ore and Maui's fish hook which is just really cool.

Also this one lights up as well! and when you turn it on it give this interesting almost like a bioluminescence glow to it, like something you would actually seen in the ocean. So I think this is a really nice and very neat bucket.

[naughtygirl286]

More Masters of the Universe Merch! I finally got the Teela I wanted which was awesome! and I also picked up Ram Man as well who looks amazing!

[naughtygirl286]

So we did go and see the rather beleaguered Supergirl movie. I am a Supergirl fan and Superman and related fan in general. I'm from a "Super Family" my Dad is a big Superman fan and the person I live with is a Superman fan as well. So I'm a fan of Superman and related. So I was pretty excited for this and to go see this I did enjoy 2025s Superman and was interested in in going to see this.

Of course there was just one collectable thing here for Supergirl which you can see here.

Now as for the movie itself honestly I thought it was pretty good, I enjoyed it. I know people are not going to want to hear that and be all angerly screeching. but that is the honest truth I didn't really have any problem with the movie itself.

Now what is this movie about? It is loosey based on the 8 issue series called Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow from 2021. In the movie after the destruction of Krypton and the demise of the Argo city Supergirl comes to Earth. but she is having a hard time adjusting to Earth being she did not grow up there like Clark/Superman did and she is carrying the emotional burden of the ghosts of Krypton with her so she decides to take some time away from Earth and enjoy her birthday with Krypto out in space but she ends up not have a quiet time with just her and her super dog and ends up in the middle of an adventure that spans the galaxy!

Now like I said I thought the movie was pretty good It had some really nice action and some I thought really nice character moments. I thought it was very visually interesting and like all the crazy creatures and aliens. It was very Sci-Fi in that aspect. I thought the production design was awesome in this the whole flashbacks of Krypton and Argo when the dome (or forcefeild in this case) goes up gave me literal chills. It was exciting but at the same time kinda sad because as a comic person you know what is happening next.

I thought the movie was very dramatic and at times emotional and really leaned into the aspects of grief and loss and trying to over come thoughts and stuff like running way does not solve the problem.

I thought the scenes with Superman were very good he is trying his best to help her the best he can and the flashback when he meets her I felt that was very human and very endearing. It kinda sets up how they are different with him being raised on Earth with the Kents and her on Krypton. I guess that will be a cultural difference that I hope they display more in later movies.

I thought Milly Alcock was pretty great as Supergirl I had no complaints with her at all as this character. she is a bit more pessimistic in this as she works through her issues during the course of this movie and I feel that she becomes more brighter and more optimistic near the end of the movie as she works out her issues and comes to terms with the loss of Krypton and agrees to stay with Clark on Earth and help him as Superman.

Eve Ridley as Ruthye was pretty good and just as good as Milly Alcock as Supergirl. I also feel that she to me also resembles the character from the comics she is of course a little different then the comic version of the character but I do feel that the character from the comics is presented extremely well in this movie and I do feel that the 2 girls have an amazing chemistry in this movie and they work so well together to bring this story to life.

As for Jason Momoa as "The Main Man" Lobo I thought he was absolutely perfect!! I knew he was going to be amazing as this character. He was born to be Lobo! he looked like him, acted like him, and sounded like him he was all "Frag" / "Fraggin'" and he was calling people "Bastich" I was getting a good giggle out it. he was just so good at that role I hope we do get to see more of him. The only odd thing that I thought was strange was when Kara put her suit on he doesn't recognize it? So does that mean he hasn't been to Earth yet and hasn't met Superman? Its not a huge thing but it was just something that stuck in my head.

Now as for Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem I thought he did a great job as this character. I know people complained about his change in look being the one in Woman of Tomorrow looks completely different. but I think this look in the movie fits it way better. In the comic Krem looks like a pirate, like a classic swashbuckling pirate he is a shirtless white guy with wavy red hair and a a pirate beard with mustache and even wears the baggy-legged pirate pants so I think having a comic accurate Krem in this would look out of place. So I thought the movie design looked great and fit more in this universe the movie design makes him look more sinister, more villainous pretty much more evil. I was wondering tho all the dots on his face were they for each person he killed? that would make sense to me.

As for everyone else they all looked awesome like I think I said above the production design and costumes and everything were great visually its a very cool movie and it one of those where you do want to pause and look at details of stuff lol.

Now with all that said I want to address some things people complained about in regards to this movie.

I seen alot of people complained that it wasn't a shot for shot/panel for panel 100% recreation of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in live action I don't believe that was ever what you were going to get. You weren't going to get the long monologues from Ruthye because in the comics the story is told from her perspective like she is telling you what happened. you weren't going to get the monologues from Krem you weren't going to get Supergirl fighting Space Dragons or her hammering lead plates into the ground of Argo or the whole thing about magical orbs or her and Ruthye fighting dinosaurs on the world of Barenton or all the stuff with Comet the Super-Horse. also you weren't going to get alot of the subplots like the time they spent on the planet with the little blue creatures and the whole genocide thing with Krem and the Brigands. It wasn't going to happen and if that is what you thought you were going to get then you were going to be disappointed regardless. This was a loose adaption of that story tailored to fit into the larger DCU film narrative. If you read the 8 issue Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow you would recognize alot of that in this movie The way I see it this adaption was similar to something like V for Vendetta where there was alot of stuff cut out of that but it was still very familiar to someone who had read the original series.

Another thing was music especially the song at the end of the movie where Supergirl is fighting all the guys on the ship. I had no problem with that song but I do wonder is every DC movie from now on going to have catchy pop songs in them?

I seen some say it's extremely ultra feminist. how is it extremely ultra feminist? is it because she is a small girl and able to beat up and throw around all these big men? If that is your argument then you know nothing about the character.

Also the "they didn't understand the ending?!? They did not kill Krem at the end of the books!!" what did they not understand? the whole story in the comics was to show Ruthye that revenge isn't the answer.. In the movie Supergirl does not let Ruthye kill Krem she does it to keep Ruthye's hands clean of blood and her conscious clean from killing this person. ALSO!! in the books and the movie Ruthye tries to hire someone to kill Krem! is that any better?

As for killing Krem is general they do kill him at the end of Woman of Tomorrow! they technically kill him TWICE! at the end of the story Supergirl and Ruthye banish Krem to the Phantom Zone for something like 300 years? now I have been reading Superman and related stuff and watching Superman related media the majority of my life and in all my year of reading/watching Superman and related stuff being put in the Phantom Zone is a punishment worst then death. Then at the very end of the series an older Supergirl and a elderly Ruthye release him from the Phantom Zone and when he comes out he is a shell of the man he was and he is extremely repentant and Ruthye cracks him over the head with her walking stick and he slumps to the ground. This death in my opinion is far more brutal then in the movie. In the movie he is stabbed twice by Supergirl with Ruthye's sword once for killing Ruthye's family and putting her through this and 2 for shooting Krypto. Thats far less violent then in the actual comic I think. So what is the ending that is "misunderstood" in the movie?

So in the end I personally enjoyed the movie. Yes it is a little darker then the previous Superman but I think it is to handle the subject of things like grief, loss and revenge and the emotional turmoil that those bring with them. I think when we see Supergirl again in the Superman sequel "Man of Tomorrow" she will be a bit more upbeat. all I can say is this movie does deserve better then what it received. I thought it was good and the people I went with thought it was good and everyone seemed to have enjoyed it. So the best thing I can suggest is don't listen to people who most likely haven't seen it tell you its awful and watch it and make up your own mind.

[naughtygirl286]

Now there wasn't much in the way of collectables for Supergirl not like there was last year for Superman but as Usual we went down opening night and grabbed what they had before it became sold out and of course it will go quick thanks to resellers and all that.

Now the only thing they had here was the "Grippr Cup" that is very similar to the one we got from Superman has the rubbery texture to simulate the look and feel of the suit she wears the main difference with this one is it also has the brown jacket on it like she wears instead of the cape like the other one has. Also this one doesn't have any character topper which was kinda sad. also people were saying that the cup looks like one of those fleshlight things..? I don't know? I'm not seeing it? I'm not seeing what other people are seeing. To me it just looks similar to the Superman cup instead of the cape it has the jacket that is all I see..

[naughtygirl286]

Our one and only movie pick up this week was of course Obsession on 4K! If you haven't seen this yet you should! it is one of the best horror movies we seen this year so far. I was also lucky to get it being when we did pick this up there was only 2 copies left! so I got one of the 2. but yeah its a wild movie I'd say say give it a watch if you haven't.

[naughtygirl286]

MORTAL KOMBAT!!

Yes our one and only pick up this week is the all new Mortal Kombat Kollection which is both movies the original Live Action Mortal Kombat from 1995 AND its sequel Mortal Kombat: Annihilation in 4K!

[naughtygirl286]

So yeah we finally went to see Toy Story 5 I honestly can't believe that there is a Toy Story 5 to begin with. I believe I said that for Toy Story 4 also but I truly cant believe there is a filth one. I 'm a fan of the series and have gone to each one and have them on blu ray (i think we have 4 on on 4K) but I do love them all and thought each one was great and this one is no exception.

Also yes there was some collectable which you can see here.

Now as for the movie itself I feel it tackles the real issues of tech dependence in young kids and how it affects them. The movie is basically this: I continues to follow the character of Bonnie (voiced by Scarlett Spears) who is a little older now and is happy doing her own thing and playing with her toys but at the same time is having problems making friends and the toys have been trying to get her to make friends with the kids across the street to no avail. Her parents have noticed this too and they end up getting her a "Lilypad" which is a popular tablet like device in the world of the movie. They think it will help her be a bit more social but in actuality it doesn't and just seems to cause more problems. not just for Bonnie but for the toys themselves as it tries to get rid of Jessie, Buzz and the rest to the point that Jessie has to call woody back for some help. While on this adventure Jessie learns that not all tech is bad and Lilypad also learns the error of its ways as in that real friendships are better then online friend requested ones after it sets some up through social media with girls from Bonnie's dance class that ends up in disaster. After this hurts Bonnie Lilypad changes its opinion on the toys and begins to start to help Woody, Jessie, Buzz and the rest foster a friendship with a girl Jessie finds named Blaze (voiced by Mykal-Michelle Harris) who is very similar to Bonnie and when tech and toys work together the 2 girls become best friends.

Like I said the movie was great excellent in fact. I feel it has a nice message about dependence on devices and on the power of real connections and friendship.

It did feel very emotional at times. the scenes were Jessie sees and realizes the "tech takeover" was rather heart breaking. I would have to say my eyes did well up a few times. while watching this being I could relate to both Bonnie and Blaze at various moments being I would say as a kid I was a odd or different lil girl and didn't have many female friends it was mostly boy friends. I didn't necessarily fit in with the majority of the girls as a kid. Now don't get me wrong I would say I was generally popular as a kid I went to plenty of sleepovers,birthday parties, played with and hung out with plenty of other girls but it was like I had a very small core group of female friends and then there was everyone else. That might seem contradictory to what I said prior to this but I feel it still is true. So I could relate to the issues these characters where having at times but also thats the thing don't try to fit in just be yourself and you'll find your place were you belong.

Now as for the story I thought it was great I thought they handled the kids being zombied by screens was handled perfectly I fell that this was true to life in all the moments you seen with Bonnie becoming obsessed with the Lilypad tablet. It in a way reminded me of the first movie when Buzz showed up and Woody tried to get rid of him and in this its the two of them teaming up to try to get rid of Lilypad. Also you get some subplots the one about the army of Buzz toys was kinda funny. Also there was a bit of finality for Jessie's story that started back in Toy Story 2 which I thought was great.

As for the animation it of course perfect you wouldn't expect anything less from this I also like how the style changed when it did things like how the kids played like how they seen it in their imagination I don't know if it would be called "play vision" or "toy vision" when they did these sequences the animation went from 3D to almost like this soft, pastel 2D animation which I said i thought was a great way to distinguish between the main look of the movie and how Bonnie and Blaze see things in their minds eye. but yeah the voice acting and character designs and everything were great.

So yeah in the end the movie was excellent and I would say if you loved the others I think you would love this one too! So give it a watch!

Also There is a mid credit scene for this so don't get up to go to quickly! also there is a bit of a end credit thing but that one is not super important.

[naughtygirl286]

Now yes there was stuff for Toy Story 5! We did have a bit of a problem with one of the things which I talk about below. So As Usual we went down opening night we didn't get there early as I would have liked but we went down and grabbed stuff before it became sold out and of course it will go quick thanks to resellers and all that.

but anyway yeah! first we picked up the Toy Story 5 Popcorn bucket. It is the standard metal popcorn bucket It has a nice like dark yellowish orange color and a very faint pattern of cowboy hats and sheriff badges on it and it is raised/embossed on the images as usual on one side it has the "Lilypad" with the movies title on its screen and then on the other side it has the toy characters of Woody,Buzz,Jessie, Hamm and Rex. The bucket is nice and does come with something different from the usual metal buckets which is a cover in the shape of Woody's hat It is made of hard plastic and its not a full size hat just big enough to fit over the mouth of the bucket.

Now the cup is interesting and is what I kinda had a problem with. Where the bucket is mostly Woody related the cup is very Buzz centric and the cup was the most popular thing and was selling out quickly! This was the last one they had and I got this completely for free! The reason I got it for free was someone stole the cover with Buzz topper off it!! I don't know why someone would do that but they apparently did? so the Manager who is a friend of mine gave me the cup for free. so it was a bit of a win loose situation some asshole stole the top off it but at least I got it for free lol but then again if I was able to go down earlier I probably would have gotten a intact cup but oh well, I guess. anyway the cup (what part I have at least) is nice and is kind similar to the bucket it has this nice blue color to it and has a very faint pattern of planets and "Space command" logos on it. It has a nice glossy and smooth texture on it and on one side it has the "Lilypad" with the movies title on its screen and then on the other side it just has a nice image of Buzz. Its a nice cup but would be better if it had its lid and topper.

[naughtygirl286]

Some second hand finds this past weekend! and just in time for the up coming live action movie! We picked up both Moana and Moana 2 on blu ray The first one is used but the second is brand new and unopened, Also I got both for $20! which I thought was good. So i was happy with this.

[naughtygirl286]

Our second Prime Day packages arrived yesterday I was going to be home but again I missed the delivery person being I had to run to town quickly and it had already been delivered when we got back. Now what we got is this box of awesomeness!! The Kung Fu Panda: 4-Movie Collection in 4K its a box set of all 4 of the Kung Fu Panda movies! we got this for $50 thanks to amazon prime days! I thought the price was perfect for this so I didn't want to turn it down especially since its all the 4K ones so I grabbed one up!
