sol_se and I are back on our Godzilla bullsh**t, working through the Millennium series. Godzilla 2000 is a perfectly serviceable entry with no great highs or lows.sol_se and I took a little mini-vacation to Santa Monica for her birthday. We got a fancy-schmancy hotel room with a balcony overlooking the ocean. We spent like 90% of our time in that hotel room because it's still a scary world out there, but we did make it to the pier and the ocean proper. Went to the comic book shop and swapped opinions about Black Widow and Loki. It's nice to get out and be social in limited quantities.
Here's the movie list:airawyn's place for a small gathering. It was a lot of fun and I didn't forget how to talk to people! I think.sol_se and I watched Ghost of Frankenstein because it was the only film in the Frankenstein series she hadn't seen yet. Not a great film, but it does have some good moments.sol_se and I pulled it up on HBO Max and watched it in anticipation of the third movie. It's pretty good, but I think The Conjuring 2 is probably better.sol_se's favorite, so it seemed like a good time to break it out. It's definitely more kid-oriented than I was expecting. They snuck a Ghidorah on me despite saying Ghidorah several times.sol_se and I finished up the Heisei/Versus Godzilla series with a very meh entry. The series started pretty strong and went downhill about midway through. At least this one doesn't feel like it was edited by an amateur.sol_se hadn't seen Ginger Snaps, so I was into it. Still a great werewolf film with a lot of fun layers. The faux suicide aspect is... a lot, though.sol_se was watching them. Her viewings of those seasons is what swept me into everything. I've been able to watch Season 1-8, 14-16, as well as All Stars 1 and 5-7. It's been a great coping mechanism during the pandemic, even if I spent way too much acquiring the out-of-print DVDs. I wish whatever issue is preventing them from selling pre-17 seasons on Amazon is resolved. I would like to give them so much money.sol_se and I celebrated the third anniversary of our first date. I took the day off and we ate Cheesecake Factory and watched movies and Project Runway All Stars.sol_se so I watch Rifftrax and catch up on Twitter. Sometimes it's more Twitter than Rifftrax, as when I slogged through The Amazing Mr. X. Sometimes I'm practically stapled to the Rifftrax though, as with Radical Jack. Overall, the Rifftrax Friends subscription is paying for itself.sol_se has seen the Showa series of Godzilla movies, it's time to work through Heisei! This series has a very strong continuity, so we're working through in order, instead of piecemeal like we did with Showa.
