So last week, which ended with one of the let’s call it boomier of US holidays, we indulged in our annual tradition of finding something noisy to watch so that Lulu (and, to a much lesser extent, Bean) wouldn’t notice and/or be disturbed by all the popping and whooshing and whizzing and banging going on outside. This year, the selection was Captain American: Brave New World, AKA the one with the Red Hulk1:

Not A Review Of “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”
So this week we (meaning I) watched Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which, as you may have guessed from the name, is the sequel to Beetlejuice. Presumably in another 30 years or so there will be a threequel called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and then we’ll really be in for it.
Not A Not A Review Of “Paris, Texas”
So if you’ve been around here for a while, you might have seen that “Myth” by Beach House is one of my favorite songs.
What you may not be aware of is that, for some reason, people seem to like to take Beach House songs and make their own music videos out of them, including one that sets the song to scenes from the 1984 film Paris, Texas. (Normally I would embed the music video, but since playback is disabled on other sites, you can click here to view it on YouTube instead.)

Why Are You Wearing That Stupid Man Suit?
It’s been a while since I did a “Not A Review” post, mainly because we’ve mostly been watching things my wife actually wants to see.

So last week, as everyone in the United States is no doubt aware, we celebrated Independence Day. This involves fireworks. Lots and lots of fireworks. These fireworks may be shot off by your town or municipality, your local businesses, and, of course, your neighbors, and many pets find the noise stressful, including our dog Lulu (the rest of our animals, including former street dog Bean, don’t care that much). We planned ahead for this by getting her a quick-acting prescription medication for her nerves that can be applied half an hour before fireworks are expected to start, and also by lining up a noisy movie for us to watch during festivities. But which one to choose?

So not long ago, the Academy Award-winning* kaiju film Godzilla Minus One made a surprise appearance on Netflix**. The astute reader will not be surprised to learn that we (meaning I) watched it as soon as possible.
Not A Review Of The Trailer For “Godzilla x Kong”
So the other day, I happened to catch the trailer for the upcoming film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Whaddya think? Does it look like something I would watch?
Teaser Tuesday: “New Watch”
So recently (well, by the time this appears, probably around a month) ago, I was reading New Watch, the fifth book in the “Night Watch” trilogy*, by Sergei Lukyanenko, translated from the Russian by Andrew Bromfield:

Who Was That Fast Man?
