Tunesday - Relax

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

Having seen Wonder Woman 1984, like most of you have. I noticed the distinct lack of any music from the year it's set, in the movie. "Yes" none of those great songs from 1984 were included. My guess is because it was thought they would take you out of the film and trigger memories of the song instead.

Well here is a blast from the 1984 past! Although it peaked at a mere 67 on the charts Frankie Goes To Hollywood Relax has become a song that has been used in many films and TV Shows. Most notably Brian DePalma's Body Double, where it was featured appropriately and prominently. Given that the song is about as they put it "shagging."

Seriously though, what song isn't?!

This could have been fun played over the montage where Steve is trying on clothes for Diana IMHO. "No" you say, well come up with a better song idea from 1984, and place it within the context of WW84. I double dog dare ya!

The Morning After...

Tis the morning after Christmas 2020, I bet it isn't what you thought it would be last January 1st. But I'm sure we all made the best of it, right???

Well mine was rather low key as I am sure most of yours were. Breakfast with a friend then I streamed Wonder Woman 1984. What did I think of WW84? Hmmmmmmm...that's a multi-layered question.

The first WW was so bank, this one was not as good (which is usually the case with sequels) but it had it's moments and bigger ideas like it's predecessor. My main issue is it was a pretty disjointed film. 

Do I think it's worth seeing? Overall "Yes" - there are many things about the movie that make it still worth your while. Notably Kristen Wiig as Cheetah (except for the crappy CGI they did for her in the action sequences.)

Patty Jenkins, like in the first WW, makes sure there is heart to this epic. That's what ultimately made the original a home run, and saves this one from being a total disaster.

But make no mistake, overall I thought this outing was hit and miss.

It's "National Comic Book Day" Woot!

Yee Haw!
Wonder Woman

When I was growing up I used to be an avid Comic Book fan. As I got older not so much, but I still have fond memories of the hours of escape they provided me from the world. (given the current state of it perhaps I should go back to reading them) - My two favorites were Batman and Wonder Woman.

Thus you are bequeathed an image from the upcoming Wonder Woman 1984 to celebrate today, Yay! 

If you can't figure out why Wonder Woman read what I wrote above. It was supposed to come out in June but because of the pandemic it has bee postponed until Christmas day this year. Fingers crossed that it does not get bumped yet again, but I have a hunch it will 😟

That being stated I can't wait for it to actually premiere it's the only movie based on a Comic Book I want to, and will see coming up. As I stated I outgrew my fascination with them and thus I see few films based on them. "Yes" I am discerning.

T.G.I.F. Minions!

Just Because...Cheetah

It's Cheetah Time!
Kristen Wiig

Just Because it's Sunday, Just Because there is a whole lot of buzz on the Internet about it & Just Because it's a whole lot of fun, here is Kristen Wiig as Cheetah from the upcoming Wonder Woman movie! Yay!

That's correct Minions, Wiig's Cheetah ensemble was revealed recently at the DC FanDome event to enthusiastic fans.

While I enjoyed the first Wonder Woman, word on the street is this one tops the first. Rarely do I get excited about seeing a movie, but for some reason this one has managed to make me shiver with anticipation.

Here's hoping the release date does not get pushed again due to the pandemic!!!

Have a "Wonder"ful day 😎
