BAD Keanu, BAD !!!!!!

Keanu Reeves Returns for ‘Constantine’ Sequel

Variety can confirm that Warner Bros. will make a sequel to the 2005 supernatural action film “Constantine” starring Keanu Reeves. The blockbuster star will reunite with original director Francis Lawrence, best known for taking over the “Hunger Games” franchise after the first film.

I generally dislike sequels.

I really enjoyed the “Constantine” movie and thought is was a great idea.  I did not know that it had been a comic book series.  Apparently fans of the comic did not like the movie.  One of the problems with trying to make a 90-120 minute movie of a long series is that you have to leave out a lot of details or condense too much to make it fit.  Having not read the comic, I don’t know what the difference is but I enjoyed the movie.

 

Movies with Good Sequels:

Naked Gun

The Road Warrior

Terminator II

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Dawn of the Dead

Movies with Bad Sequels:

Rocky

Lethal Weapon

Die Hard

Airplane

Vacation

Matrix

John Wick

Fast and the Furious

Planet of the Apes (original)

 

There is a difference also with “sequels” and “series”.

Toy Story

Harry Potter

Hunger Games

James Bond

To me, a great movie is one that has a great “original premise”.

That worked really well in “Lethal Weapon.”  After the first movie, it was just a series of “buddy cop” movies.

The original premise for the first “Joh Wick” was fantastic !!!

Then it turned into a “Jason Stratham” action movie series.

Technology Update………….

So I finally switched out the “new” Win 10 for the old Win 8.  What was holding me back was not having “Office”.  It looks like Open Apache will do just fine for me.

My collection of retired laptops:

 

That’s 20 years of laptops.  I like to use them until the complete end of life.

They all work and in fact, the one on the lower right was my first laptop and I still get it out once in a while to play a couple of cool games on it.

A number of years ago I had to go through an employee’s internet history and I came across some really nasty porn. (Nasty porn is a sliding scale depending on your kinks) but the “Two Girls And A Cup” stuff was disturbing.

I’m thinking about loading up each of these laptops with the worst, nastiest (legal) porn I can just in case the feds ever want to roll up here.  Would love to see the psychological  evaluation of the sucker that would have to go through all of it.

Next.

Ring cameras were $80 at Home Depot and I got one.  I have one on the front of the house and the side of the house and I’d like to see what’s going on in the backyard by the garage.

The new camera was easier to set up than the first ones I installed.

BUT !!

I was not getting a great wifi signal where I had it placed.  I did some speed checks and it showed there was a weak signal there which should probably be expected since this location was on the far side of where the router is and the last point was going through a corner of the exterior brick wall of the house.

So, I got a wifi extender.  The instructions said to go online, sign up for an account, log into the router…….. “or just press the “wps” button !!  That was easy and I have the signal strength that I need.

I also just cleaned out the repulsive and disgusting comments that were being held in moderation from those Disney Troll Patrol Freaks and Losers.  Copies have been retained in the event further action needs to be taken. Sick, sick, sick, sick mentally disturbed humans.

A big shout out to all y’all that send traffic my way:

Irish, Woodsterman, Phil (CederQ), Doug and everyone else

I don’t have ground breaking numbers, but I do appreciate each and everyone that visits here.
