Heidi's birthday week / The Dark Tower with memories of her

Happy birthday Heidi. Another birthday we didn't get to celebrate for you. I couldn't remember what did I do last year, I suppose I might be watching (or kept it till then) 11.22.63 to reminisce your fond memory, then. With the heavier schedule (well, mine. and also the slew of S.King's movie /series adaptation) this year, I've been constantly reminded how great it would be to go through these favorite adaptations and general releases and of course, what the family has been going through.

And with the new seasons of the Arrowverse (and the amazing part is Harry has started Arrow all by himself this week too, will wait a bit to let him know that we watched it on your final few months) coming back this week as well; I need to get around to watch at least one of the following that I've been keeping about when I am in a proper mode (aka distractions nada mode)  

Thus far I've been keeping your much-awaited Pirates of the Caribbean 5(or 4 if you prefer to call it) and the much-surprising The Dark Tower. Well, it was fortunate of me to be blessed with a screening of IT earlier the month, and it was superb indeed and I am sure you would be happy with the new adaptation of splitting the 2 timelines apart, as I did.

I finally watched The Dark Tower, amidst the negative reviews online and various bashing and those click-baitey '10 Worst Movies of 2017' nonsense that almost always has a thumbnail of this movie.
That's why we can't have nice things, eh?

Fantastic cast for Roland (I mean, Idris Elba is a joy to watch, and never failed like EVER!) and certainly Matthew McConnaughey (bah, sorry hard to spell and can't be bothered to check) exudes the sexiness of Marten/Randall Flagg/The Man in Black(okay too many names right?), and certainly the 'extra' flashback scene of reciting the gunslingers' creed with papa gunslinger sent goosebumps to finally hear it on a beautifully sequenced movie. Oooh! (good thing the blue-lit bullets/sandalwood guns were only added to the awesome trailer, and not for the movie HA!)

As I was watching it, my mind's eye (ear) did recall and re-imagined you pausing between scenes to check or say something is missing from this adaptation as with any other in the past, and most certainly "where is Susannah & Eddie" even I do admit I felt it when I look at the screen time of hour and a half.
Nevertheless, I am sure you will enjoy it too, as we know most definitely a bullet to Walter O'Dim would only keep him/it down for a while, and I am sure (hopefully there are sequels) the ka-tet would be complete on the next few movies.

I am sure, too, that you would beam when I'd tell you there will be a TV series prologue based off our favorite Wizard & Glass with the same cast (wow) ,well, only Idris Elba haha!

Until then, I say thankya sai and Happy Birthday up there, A Chi

CW-verse | Arrow-verse Mega Crossover 2016

My, goosebumps all over when they assembled. and many times over too! Then it was Arrow's 100th episode that assembled various casts that has been 'dead' to the timeline that paid homage to the comics (plus 2 cast members that looks a weird yet passable CG; must be scheduling I think) and then tying most of the lingering subplots from all 4 (well, 3 to be exact, nothing from Supergirl I think, except the few easter eggs) for an awesome finish to the best crossover ever.

Tonnes of popular references, and some were pretty meta (ie: Superman, and Tommy being a doctor in Chicago) and they sneaked in Princess Bride, yet again.
Earlier this year when Barry crossed over to Supergirl; it was pretty apparent those 2 had chemistry; (Grant Gustin is just that charming and complements everyone else in almost any scene, right?)but this time around I suppose Melissa Benoist gels with everyone she shares screentime with. and it is indeed a welcome addition to get bit-cameos from the other characters, both on their own show and every bit involves everyone someway or the other. Now that's some level that the showrunners achieved (or in their words, level of insanity every year for crossovers), so you DCEU executive jackrabbits should be smart to learn something you know. I am waiting eagerly for the stink to hit with your next few slated releases, and its companion Full Versions video releases.

Of course, it would've been more of a global scale if every other unaccounted heroes/vigilantes and or villains showed up for the final fight with that world threat..but I suspect we might get that trick later on with the years (or at least DC would stay the eff away from having a say about CWverse)

Can't wait for next week when they resume with the new repercussions of this week moving on.
