And the rocket’s red glare

The military says it does not have a plan to shoot down the Chinese rocket even if it will hit the United States

The forecast for when the out-of-control rocket from China will re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere is around 7:13pm ET tomorrow, although U.S. Space Force says it could happen +/- 18 hours from then due to the out-of-control nature of the rocket.

The Pentagon has said they have -no- plan to attempt to shoot it down, even if it looks like it’ll hit the United States. For now, their plan is one of “hope”.

No better way to go back to the movies than with horror!

No better way for a return to box office than with a horror movie!

The Oscars never credit the genre.. The critics ignore it.

But so often horror unites us together.. we can scream together.. laugh together.. get angry together. And be scared together.

And after the past year, we have sure been scared. So why not do it together again in a movie theater..

A QUIET PLACE II is promising to do just that..

Emily Blunt And John Krasinski’s is paving the way for film to return to the theater.

The trailer has dropped in:

From the press:

Picking up after the chaotic events of A Quiet Place, the Paramount sequel sees the surviving members of the Abbott family leaving the comfort of the farm they called home. As creatures still stalk the wilderness, Evelyn (Emily Blunt,) Reagan (Millicent Simmonds,) and Marcus (Noah Jupe) venture into uncharted territory. With the family’s latest addition of a newborn in tow, the danger factor is just a little higher this time around, in a world where sound could equal death. The sequel also introduces some new humans (Cillian Murphy and Djimon Hounsou,) who are still rather mysterious, but look to be forces of good, as Evelyn tries to convince them that finding other survivors is the only way to stay alive.

We have not seen numbers like this in months, but there are some indications that A QUIET PLACE II may earn as much as $60 to $80 mil Memorial Day Weekend.

After a year of shuddered theaters and closed down box offices, that is immense cash.

It will be fascinating to see how many head to theaters. Some are banking on a gigantic return on investment.. others ponder the possibilities.

But regardless of the venue, filmmakers want to makey the money.. that’s the name of the game.

So in that light, 45 days after opening A Quiet Place: Part II will be headed to Paramount +…

They have you covered. . .

Stranger Things gets stranger at 6am! New trailer drops

Excitement today after a new trailer drops

Hit Netflix show Stranger Thinbs has dropped a new trailer, as promised at 6 AM. The big theme of this one shows us that “11, are you listening“ could be a theme. And also, Dr. Brenner is returning to give the children a “less than“Hit Netflix show stranger things has dropped a new trailer, as promised at 6 AM. The big theme of this one shows us that “11, are you listening“ could be a theme. And also, Dr. Brenner is returning to give the children a “lesson.”

There are a number of Internet sleuths who are trying to figure out if this trailer somehow has a hidden meaning, perhaps even the 2022 release date. Thus far no official word from Netflix or the gang from Hawkins Indiana, but it’s really cool to think of the amount of prelude footage that could’ve been filmed prior to the original show that might be utilized in this.

And don’t forget one more important player that will be in the puzzle, Robert Englund will be appearing in this season as well.

This is gearing up for one of the most anticipated release dates and programs in Netflix history and will undoubtedly cause a stir amongst those desperately trying to find every clue in every trailer that gets released.

Wednesday weirdness: NEWS ROUNDUP FOR WEDNESDAY MAY 5 2021

WEDNESDAY MAY 5 2021

UFO PROBE!! The Department of Defense Inspector General issued an announcement yesterday that it is opening an evaluation into “the extent to which the DoD has taken actions regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).“ Importantly, the announcement specified an evaluation rather than an investigation, likely framing the inquiry in terms of policy instead of specific allegations of wrongdoing!

President Biden’s 21 gum salute

A gaffe worth a post..

Politics sure has gotten boring.. so boring that Judicial Watch is entering into a lawsuit against the Secret Service for secret information on Joe Biden’s dog attack in the White House..

And another set of Biden gaffes..

The President was touting his vaccine plan.. instead of giving the right website, a little snafu introduced it as Vaccines.Gum.

The official White House transcript corrected the matter after the press event.

If Willie Wonka was real, it would be sure fun to see if he would be involved with the Vaccine Gum making ..

This story has overall little importance in the scheme of things. But it has equaled a few hours of Twitter trends with jokes about vaccine gum.

I guess the gaffe could have theoretically been worse…………..

The FULL event:

Don’t you wish your vaccine was hot like mine

Move over classism. Welcome to vaccine-ism

Earlier we reported on how it looks like the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was virtually crippled by the pause..

Everything is political. Even .. yes.. even vaccines.

Apparently you can gleam a lot into the personal political choices of someone by their vaccine they get? Or at least this is what ‘pop culture’ is telling us. So it has got taaaa bee true, right!?

x x x

The latest vaccine rage online apparently consists of which vaccine is hottest. Prettiest. The most alluring and gratifying …

And the winner is Pfizer!

You see this shot get hot
Every antibody comes through..
When I step up in the spot (are you ready?)
Make the vaccine sizzle like a summertime cookout
Prowl for the best shot, yes I’m on the lookout (let’s dance)
Slow banging shorty like a dancer with the RONA
Smell good, pretty skin, so gangsta with it (oh, baby)
No tricks only diamonds under my sleeve
Gimme the number, but give me the T cells before you leave…

RNA is king

The Atlantic published something we quite honestly were not aware of.. a certain rage of vaccine envy is taking place on the socials. Apparently, as summarized by author Kaitlyn Tiffany, the internet as a whole has decided that Pfizer is the best of all! The hottest for the summer sex season!

From the report:

 At the moment, the internet is full of jokes about all the things you still can’t do after you’ve gotten vaccinated—like taking my hand and dragging me headfirst, which is part of a Taylor Swift song from 2008; removing the green ribbon from around your neck, a reference to a disturbing children’s story in which a woman named Jenny does that and then her head falls off; or emerging “from the soil after 17 years to shed your outer cuticular layer & scream into the ether in unison,” which is a subtweet of cicadas. I’m laughing, but what are we talking about? Weirder still, one vaccine in particular—from Pfizer—has somehow become the cool vaccine, as well as the vaccine for the rich and stylish. Slate’s Heather Schwedel recently discussed the “Pfizer superiority complex” at length. As one source told her: “One of my cousins got Moderna, and I was like, ‘That’s OK. We need a strong middle class.’” On Twitter, the vaccinated are changing their usernames to reflect their new personal identities: There are Pfizer Princesses and Pfizer Floozies and Pfizer Pfairies and at least one Portrait of a Lady on Pfizer. “Pfizer is what was available when I signed up,” Jagger Blaec, a 33-year-old podcast host told me, “but it’s no coincidence every baddie I know has Pfizer and not Moderna.” Isn’t it a coincidence, though?

The TikTok culture has solidified the notion that only hot people get Pfizer.. or that Pfizer makes you hot.

This is not science of course.. but we don’t care about facts in 2021. The last decade has proven that facts are just opinions in your own windmills of your mind.

Don’t cha wish your vaccine was hot like me?
Don’t cha wish your vaccine was an RNA freak like me?
Don’t cha?
Don’t cha?
Don’t cha wish your vaccine was raw like me?
Don’t cha wish your vaccine
was fun like me?
Don’t cha?
Don’t cha?

The ATLANTIC article continues:

Pfizer elitism seems to have originated on TikTok, where the vaccine hierarchy has been most concretely outlined. I wondered if it might have something to do with the particulars of that platform, so I reached out to Shauna Pomerantz, a TikTok scholar and an associate professor at Brock University, in Ontario. She suggested a much simpler explanation: The idea of a rich-hot-bougie-elite-status vaccine comes out of American culture, she said, in which everything is extremely competitive and organized around “winners and losers rather than support and kindness.” Yikes.

This world sure is a mad, mad world.

Move over classism.

Welcome to vaccism.

2021 gets wild!! Where will the Chinese Rocket fall!?

The out of control rocket will hit somewhere on Earth around May 10!

Here is what we know: An out-of-control spent rocket originally launched by China  on April 29  is racing back towards Earth and what’s left of it is expected to impact Earth on May 10.

Here is what we do not know: Where it will hit.

Forecasts show if an impact were to occur in the United States, the eastern U.S. would have the highest odds of seeing impact. Chicago, Buffalo, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Dover, Atlantic City, Richmond, Gainesville, and  Jacksonville are among the eastern U.S. cities the rocket is expected to pass over and perhaps crash into..

World governments are watching closely.

BUT… with re-entry speeds of over 15,000 mph, it may be too late to warn people of the impending impact zone when someone actually knows where it will strike…

Developing soon…..sooner rather than later.

The Power of Scalpers beats the Power of Grayskull

We feel bad for any new HE-MAN collector to the fold.. toys are not being found anywhere.

It is getting frustrating for a HE-MAN fan to find the new 2020 and 2021 toy lines..

Did Mattel falter in making the action figures?
Did scalpers strike in their finest fashion?

Either way it is clear: You can hardly find HE-MAN toys anywhere!!

There are two schools of thought..
1) The company just did not make enough. Walmart was alone in selling, and all you can find was He-Man and Skeletor with a random Man-At-Arms thrown in for the mix.. but the rest off the line, regardless of the wave, was hard to find. Impossible in most places.

Facebook pages have popped up informing fans where some of the newer figures and items have been located nationwide.

2) Scalpers and adult collectors have ruined things for kids.

Yes. Scalpers online have been selling action figures for dozens of dollars above what stores have them for.. And that just plain sucks.

I remember as a kid, with family driving me to the local mall and me being hopeful of finding the newest action figure I wanted. I always lucked out, thankfully.. But if there were new He-Man fans in the younger age bracket trying to find action figures, they are completely out of luck in our modern age.

You just cannot find them…

Plain and simple.

And for any newcomer to the fold, that just is terrible. Dreams of new toys are dashed.

Instead you have to go to eBay to find the $80 figure…

Terrible..terrible…terrible…
