Very Normal Thoughts, From A Very Normal Man

DYODM: Da Flammys

As you might have noticed, I watched a decent amount of new releases in 2025. I also haven’t checked anything out in December, so to cap off the year we’re doing a best of list: Da Flammys! It’s like the Oscars, get it? Please ignore that it sounds way closer to The Grammys, that’s just…

DYODM Notes: Lord Of Da Rings

I watched the entire LOTR trilogy over the past few days, and started taking notes shortly into Fellowship. Some of them are chuckle worthy, so I figured I’d post em. Happy Thanksgiving! The Fellowship of the Ring Stoner Gandalf communicating exclusively via grunts is a vibe  The close ups on faces is such a fun…

Da Year Of Da Movie: October

Howdy gamers, welcome back to DYODM! To be transparent, October was a bizarre month for me. I saw three new releases in theaters but can barely remember most of them, so sorry in advance if this is a weird post. It doesn’t help that I’m almost certain that none of the people reading this will…

Da Year Of Da Movie: September

Hold on to yer butts, we’re speed running this one. I saw two movies last month and only one of them is really worth mentioning. So in the interest of not wasting anyone’s time, let’s hop into this! #3 – The Trailer for Tron: Ares I’ve had to see this gross little creep’s face before…

Da Year Of Da Movie: August

Guys, gals and non-binary pals, we officially made it through the Summer. We’re days away from a wonderland of autumnal delights. It’s a great time to be alive. I have once again seen 6 movies this month, with 5 of them being in theaters. And my biggest takeaway from August is the following:  I’m one…

Da Year Of Da Movie: July

Howdy gang, welcome to Da Year Of Da Movie: July Edition! For the low cost of 24 bucks a month, I can now see up to 3 movies per week at my local theater. As a result, I checked out a whopping 6 new releases in July, so we’ve got a lot to talk about.…

DYODM: Sinners

DYODM SINNERS Okay so I didn’t watch anything new last month. In fact, the only thing I saw was Sinners. This marks my 3rd viewing; once in IMAX, then in a normal theater, and finally at home with subtitles.  After these three viewings, my opinion on the movie hasn’t changed. It’s still an absolute blast,…

Da Year of Da Movie: April

Howdy, and welcome to the April edition of DA YEAR OF DA MOVIE. I checked out 4 films last month, and 3 of them were recent releases that I ventured out to a theater for. Some were good, some were great, and one of them was… #4 – The Shining I absolutely hated this. It…

Da Year of Da Movie: March

Remember last month when I said I was going to try to outline my thoughts on movies directly after I watched them? That way I’d have an easier time writing these??  Well jokes on me, because not only did I not do that, I also watched a grand total of 3 movies this month. Plus,…

Da Year of Da Movie: February

Howdy, and welcome to another riveting edition of Da Year Of Da Movie! This entry is going to be a bit on the shorter side as I watched 8 films total this month, but only 3 of them will be covered in this post. The other 5 are going to be part of a separate…

Da Year Of Da Movie: January

In 2024 I saw a grand total of 2 films. The first was an inebriated re-watch of Nick Cage’s myopic biopic, The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent. The second was the absolute pinnacle of modern cinema, Sonic The Hedgehog 3, seen in theaters with 3 of my closest friends. Now obviously it’s all downhill from…

Bone-In Wings

A Journey Of Discovery Recently, the evergreen topic of Wings came up in a relatively laid back meeting at work. The details are hazy, as it was a fairly calm conversation. The exact kind you have on a Friday when you don’t really want to focus on work, so instead you shoot the shit. However,…
