Wakefield

91MhpwfEfiL. SL1500 724x1024 Wakefield

Successful suburbanite commuter Howard Wakefield (Cranston) has taken a perverse detour from family life: He vanishes without a trace. Hidden in the attic of his garage, surviving by scavenging at night, he secretly observes the lives of his wife (Jennifer Garner) and children. But soon, he realizes that he has not left his family … he has left himself. Also starring Jason O’ Mara and Beverly D’Angelo, Wakefield is “one to definitely seek out”, (The Hollywood News).

This is a one man show for Bryan Cranston, starring Jennifer Gardner’s sideboob. Much like other movies that are primarily one person (Buried is the first to come to mind), the entire movie hinges on the abilities of the primary star, which in this case are fantastically and readily apparent. The entire concept is one that most people are familiar with and have likely played around with in their heads: What if we just gave up on our lives and went somewhere else? Only in this case, he didn’t go anywhere, he just lived in the detached garage watching his family move on.

The ultimate resolution left me feeling weird, but honestly I feel like what would happen in the 30 seconds after the final scene would be perfect content for another full movie and I’m happy to leave it where they left it.

It’s great fodder for discussion at least, so if you’ve seen Wakefield, how do you feel about his decision to detach, and how do you feel about that final scene?

    This is the best I’ve ever seen for live action Titans. The series thus far has been ok to great, with some weird pacing issues that happen from time to time. There was a curious pocket pilot episode for another entirely different show, and while yes it got us Beast Boy, it still felt out of place.

    The CW is still killing it with their shows, but Titans is a bit better than anything they’ve offered so far, but only just.

    2018 TGIOKDI Year In Review

    This is a first time thing for me, I’ve never done a year in review on my own personal site before, but I figured with all the books, games, and movies that I’ve been posting about, I might as well do one.

    In 2018 I have:

    • Read 37 books
    • Finished 26 games
    • Watched 308 movies

    I’m counting the comic books that I listed on the site, they were large enough and of enough importance to make a post, so they’re getting counted.  Obviously a few of the movies were watched more than once (mad max: fury road was watched like 10 times!).

    I built some cool LEGO, my kegerator froze over, I had a horrible stomach bug, and Hurricane Michael caused a week long power outage that I survived by using my grill and reading a lot of books.  At the beginning of the year, I dug my comic books out of storage in the closet and re-bagged and boarded them, then just a month or two ago, I completely redid my home office. It has a ton of shelving now, all of which is in use.  Went to MegaCon and met a bunch of celebrities.  There are pictures somewhere.

    There’s times where I feel like I don’t do much, but then looking back, there it is.

    My plans for the next year:

    • Have kids
    • Make more better money from my side gigs
    • Pay off debt
    • Replace the carpet in my house
    • Unhook myself from all corporately owned social media, I think all I have left is facebook, but I want to save all my content to my own personal website, so that’s going to be a project in of itself.

    Star Trek Fleet Command

    maxresdefault 1024x576 Star Trek: Fleet Command

    A mobile game that uses the way overused “timers” method of gaming, in which the players have multiple countdown timers that they manage and get time reduction tokens by completing mundane tasks. As you might imagine, you can purchase an in game currency to in turn purchase those same reduction tokens. It’s all very boring, very repetitive and a complete waste of time. Here’s an ingame screenshot, in it there’s a “winner” countdown with 4 counters inside, a lootbox count down with 3 counters inside, then on the left is a wrench that has the two upgrade countdowns.

    Here’s the trailer that sold me on trying the game out.

    The trailer is a complete lie, at no point is there FPS space combat, it’s all automated and pretty damn boring.

    It’s a great trailer though, mad props to studio that made it.

    2018 my[confined]space year in review

    For the first time ever, an official End of Year, Year in Review!  Three weeks early too, so I wonder if any of these stats will change in any meaningful way in the next 20 days!

    In 2018, there were over 21,889 posts (down from 2017’s 23,001), which received 3,320 comments (down from 2017’s 4,873).  Traffic was sorta stable at 2,163,753 page views for 2018, slightly down from 2017’s 2,321,227 page views.

    We had several theme days!

    Obviously it’s my blog so I’m the most talkative person here, but I do miss the days when people would talk amongst themselves.  Is there a barrier to commenting on the site that I’m not seeing and can address?
