Thank F*CK That Nonsense Is Over!

 Choose a nonsense. I'm open for suggestions. But most of the nonsense is over so it's all good.

Meh... not really. Just the parts that don't matter in the grand scheme of things. 

So, what did we do for the holiday yesterday?

Not one damn thing. Seriously. There's no money for presents. So I didn't present anyone. We had steak for dinner last night. And some pie. 

Finally watched Deadpool & Wolverine. I guess I was saving the guy in the red suit for the other guy in red suit day. All I have to say about it, is how the everlivingfuck did Disney allow that to even be made? I spent most of my time wondering how in the hell this wasn't rated NC-17 at least. Did I hate it? No. Did I like it? Also no. But it has been watched and shall never be mentioned again.

And then I watched Twisters for the fifth time. Because... I just don't know. It's not a great movie. It's a subject that, as a person who lives in tornado prone areas, I tend to avoid. But... it's got an almost great soundtrack. It's fun. Considering the subject. But I think the main two reasons is, that it reminds me of the 80s and 90s blockbuster adventure movies and how good they were, even when they were bad. And the female lead is the actual hero, not the smart girl who the hero has to save. I like that it was a romance. With no romance. I like that there was no villain. It was just young pretty people doing overly dramatic, probably, most likely less than believable things in a place that wasn't New York or Los Angeles and there was an implied HEA. I just wish they hadn't packed the soundtrack so full that you only heard two second snippets of most of the songs. That was too much. It was Romancing the Stone for modern times.

Which brings me back to Fall Guy and why I didn't like that movie. Same premise. But... I watched the original theatrical release on a borrowed library Blu-ray the first time. And I hated it. I'd like to say, that as a person who watched the TV series it was based off of, that I hated it for nostalgia reasons. Not saying it did the series justice, it could have been named anything else, and he could have had any other name, and it would still have been... I don't know. I loved the cover of the KISS song through out. But... okay, there's this style of dialogue that I see a lot lately where the awkward bantering talking over each other thing happens. They did that. I hate it. It feels too ad libby. It irritates my second-hand embarrassment issue. And they did it, and they did it, and they kept doing it. The action scenes were pretty good. The ending was decent. When they all shut up and stopped jabbering nonsense dialogue. I hated that the female lead was petty and took revenge for hurt feelings and punished the male lead because he understandably had (SPOILER STOP READING NOW) he broke his back in a stunt gone wrong and while dealing with that pushed her away. Was it wrong of him to push her away? Of course. But it was doubly wrong for her to not understand that kind of injury does something to a person. And then decide to continue to abuse and humiliate them for it... that's why I hated that movie. They made the females all screeching shrews. And then I watched the director's cut on Peacock. I'm not going to say the issues I had with the theatrical release were fixed by that, no, the jabbering was still there, but some of the stuff that didn't make sense in the theatrical was fixed with the extended scenes. That made it at least watchable. Not five times watchable. But if you're going to watch it, watch the director's cut, at least the major plot problems are sort of fixed. But honestly, I think I really just don't like the two main actors and that might just be the only reason.

And on Monday, it was sunny and warm so we drove to Pensacola to get out of Mobile, just to do the same things we do in Mobile, with the exception of stopping at Barnes & Noble because we don't have one, and at Buc-ees on the interstate. Now if my husband does not go back to work soon, I will...

Uh, in other news, all but five of my books are now available at Apple and Kobo. You can read all of those free with your Kobo Plus subscription, and if you really want to support me, you can buy them with a one dollar discount in my Payhip Store.

Hoping you had a lovely last week.

I'll see ya in the new year.

Peace,

Mercy

PS: If I wrote fan fiction, which I don't, I'd totally write the ending of Twisters as a thruple and be very happy with the whole outcome of that... just sayin' watch the meaningful glances, y'all, watch the eyes.
