    Now that I live in Hawaii, I see Tesla all the time. The old sedan as well as the new suv. They're fucking everywhere. Probably encounter a dozen or more per day, every day. It helps that every single shopping center has lots of free electric car battery charging parking spaces.

    The green Mercedes looked good. I had a motorcycle that color 10 years ago. It was beautiful.

    Ok, it seems that I'm watching a lot of shows this season, compared to only 2 or 3 last season. Fortunately, they come out throughout the week, so it's not too weekend heavy. Sunday: Alice to Zouroku - Third episode was much better than the 2nd, in my opinion. They're introducing some more...

    The newest Hero Academia was pretty great. I enjoyed it.

    Fast 8 (2017)

    Both 1 and 2 were complete hunks of shit. 3 was "mostly" shit as well, but they changed the narrative from a stupid movie to at least a stupid movie trying to do some cool shit. It wasn't until 4 that they really took off on the new plot of being a group of criminal crime fighters. At the...

    Aiz is out now. That's the new DanMachi show. I'm not a fan of whoever did the subtitles. Here's what the episode looks like, sub-wise. Almost every line has a | put in there. I"m sure they meant that should be a line break, but it looks bad.

    Baby Driver (2017)

    The first trailer was a lot better. This doesn't really say anything else. But I guess this isn't really a movie that needs a trailer. Aspy kid drives well, but listens to his ipod. Bad guys use his driving to pull off crimes. Kevin Spacey is his "boss" and organizes the bad guys. That's...

    Ha. The picture on the front of the trailer looked really dumb, but you guys convinced me to watch it. This does look pretty good.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    He would be great for that. Plus, he's already on a TV show, so appearing in other TV series won't hurt his acting ego the way it might with RDJ or the rest of the Avengers.

    It probably had something to do with the Druggie baker guy. He was very "cool" when the news spread, almost as if he was expecting it.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    There's so much shit that happened in this season. Can you believe it actually started with Ghost Rider? That story arc feels like it was so long ago.

    Well, the latest episode was a good one. I really enjoyed it overall. Lots of shit went down. Very full episode. I liked it a lot. So much shit has happened. There are quite a few new plots for season 3. And I think there's still one more episode for the finale, but this one could have...

    I liked Axe's tear down of Chuck. It was good. But Chuck was right, it's Axe being thrown off balance. This is bad.

    Well, Alice was looking for the shade in one of the alternate realities. So maybe they'll get lucky. And hell, maybe the dragon can send them back a second time for Julia's real shade.

    I haven't watched this yet, but I've heard good things. I might get a chance tomorrow. The director did a nice background release to make it popular in the hood. He would drive somewhere and drop a VCR tape that had blood on it. People would pick it up, thinking some shit went down...

    I didn't like it anywhere near as much. I'm wondering if #3 will be decent, or if I'll we'd up dumping this show all together.

    Ok, suit. I've seen him perform a dozen times, and he ONLY wears a black t-shirt. This was a unique appearance for him.

    That was Jlaw's entire goal. She was going to fly out. Then live there for a year before returning to earth. Then be a journalist about her experiences.

    Just finished watching Tsuki ga Kirei. It's cute. An awkward high school guy likes an awkward high school girl. The animation style reminds me a lot of Hai to Gensou no Grimgar. Maybe that's why I like the show, even if the plot isn't Grimgar at all. Still a decent one.

    I just watched Re:Creators. Wow, that was pretty cool. It wasn't the greatest show ever, but I really like the idea behind it. And the animation style was excellent as well. Think of it like EVERY "stuck in a game" anime that's out there, but reverse it. The plot is there's a really popular...

    Based on the Boruto show, Naruto got killed really early. Boruto was like 15-16 tops. And how did that weak bitch he was fighting actually kill Naruto when all of the previous Naruto shit didn't take him out? It's like Roy returning to the Carpet store after beating Cancer.

    I don't read the manga, so the story of Boruto was completely new to me. As such, I liked it. It has a very "early Naruto" feel. EDIT: Ok, just watched Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism. Bad. It has a "Prison School" type of vibe, without the sexuality. This high school is "ruled" by 5 girls...

    Ok, Koda 01 was good as well, just a different kind of story. But now the character from 00 is going to shine. It appears that he's the best negotiator in Japan, and suddenly this "alien" cube thing wants to talk to humanity. I'm just guessing at this point, but I'm sure the negotiator guy...

    I'm enjoying Kado: The Right Answer. Episode 00 was pretty great, but took a HUGE left turn suddenly at the end. I just started episode 01. I'll give you my review in a little. Boruto was decent. Not amazing, but it kept my interest. Renai Boukun was REALLY strange. Boy and strange girl...

    That Dragon has a potty mouth. Bleeped twice for saying fuck, yet Quentin is able to say it without a problem moments later. Is a Dragon someone's trigger?

    Ok, I just left the theater. Wow, that movie was fantastic. They did a damn good job with pretty much everything. I realize it isn't a 10/10 movie, but the source material wasn't 10/10 either. But as far as this genre, it's easily an 8/10. I loved how they meshed technology with real life...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I wonder what website they're using... In other news, I legitimately PAY for HBO via my cable bill. And I still torrent the new episode, just so I can have it forever (until buying the bluray and deleting said torrent). I don't even watch the torrent. I just like "having" a copy if I want it...

    Last night's episode of showing the "common man" that Axe is indeed a chaotic neural protagonist. Granted he didn't officially do anything wrong with his closing actions, but he wouldn't be in that boat in the first place if he didn't get some insider trading type information. I still prefer...

    Episode 5 has been my favorite so far. It was great. Between the new Ford GT, the guest, the off road challenge between Chris Harris and Sabine... this show was firing on all cylinders. I really enjoyed it.

    Rick and Morty

    I would say no for the sole reason that this is a fantasy show that is make believe. So there really isn't any truth in anything. But truth for the show, I'm sure that might be Rick's legitimate back story. Just with a different calculation. It was nice seeing that Rick had more of a family...
