Since last time - I did not do very much on my vacation besides write (I had grand plans to do a lot of house cleaning but let's be honest here - I can only clean about one thing before I'm wiped, and should probably look into hiring someone to do actual cleaning one of these days), and I am even more into The Pitt.
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning was very fun - not my favorite of the series, but had some moments I really enjoyed, some moments that broke my heart, and some moments that I could have done without. (And some moments that should have been in there but McQ and Tom have this thing about only including the things they think are absolutely necessary to entertaining the audience.)
We are short-staffed at work yet again but so far it hasn't been too bad (knock on wood), unlike the last time we were down the third shift position - we have enough part-timers to fill in right now. Tomorrow we're interviewing people for the job so hopefully someone will be in that slot sooner rather than later.
1) SCREAM, Joshua Jackson looks so good, that was 90% of what I thought about the whole time. There is an entire sequence where the New Kid trains him for a boxing match and he doesn't have a shirt on for some of it and I might be as ace as it gets but I might also make an exception for middle-aged Josh Jackson.
2) Ming-Na Wen, I love you and I'm sorry you didn't even get a first name, that's disrespectful.
3) Ralph Macchio does age, just VERY slowly.
4) The New Kid's love interest (Joshua Jackson's character's daughter) looks almost exactly like young Jennifer Lawrence, to the point where I was looking her up sure that I'd seen her before until I figured out that was what I was seeing.
5) The Villain Teen is so hilariously one-note that it had to be on purpose. His entire point is to be the villain and his face doesn't ever seem to move. At the end, after he's been beat and then tried to jump New Kid but failed, he just walks off the mat like "okay adios". And there isn't even a good/weirdly homoerotic Villain Teen/His Coach moment like when Martin Kove grabbed William Zabka's face to wipe the blood from his nose in original TKK. Lame.
6) One of the kids from the IT movies is there but more grown (he plays New Kid's SAT tutor) and he gets more characterization than the Villain Teen. (I love you, Alan!)
6) Did I mention Joshua Jackson?
7) Absolutely no one else from Cobra Kai is there until the very end, when New Kid has a frozen pizza delivered to Daniel in California and Johnny is also at the dojo just drinking a beer and is like, Daniel, we should open a pizza shop and call it Miyagi-Dough, and then proceeds to come up with like five potential slogans for said pizza shop in thirty seconds. Clearly they are married in this universe.
