Finally after many years I have watched the 1988 "They Live" film from legendary director John Carpenter("Halloween") and the story of the film was a little far out different and somewhat of an alien tease. Set in L. A. a drifter, loner and unemployed guy(played by late wrestler Roddy Piper at the height of his "Hot Rod" "WWF" fame) is looking for a job only he stumbles upon some strange things and sees crazy stuff. As thru the TV aliens are transporting and gaining control even luring humans to a deadly fate! Many don't know it, as senses and control of human life hangs in the balance, in a subplot and wild card like theme can a unique pair of sunglasses save the human race? Nothing super great still it's a nice little late night sci-fi watch.

The year 2020 is in hindsight, it's like we all remember it with "COVID-19", the killing of George Floyd, racial protest, political differences, and the backlash of social media. With this film "Eddington" writer and director Ari Aster captures and has all of us reliving those 2020 moments, in this long in depth and complex western drama. Set in Eddington, New Mexico a yes man and political veteran town mayor Ted Garcia(Pedro Pascal) wants to enforce the mask and mandate restrictions on the town, however the go against the grain local sheriff Joe Cross(the super great Joaquin Phoenix) challenges him and stands up against him and the establishment and starts a maverick campaign against him. Thru it all drama, and protest is felt in the form of George Floyd, and Donald Trump with racial and political protest. The film is a roller coaster and heart pounding edge of your seat journey with emotions as the standoff between Cross and Garcia feels like one of legendary rivals that both will bend and break the rules to get ahead and fight for what they believe in. The supporting cast helps the film along too with Emma Stone as Louise the scorned angry wife of Joe and Austin Butler and Deirdre O' Connell both give good turns as odd and wild yet likable wild card like characters. The action, blood, and gunfire is a treat to watch as that made the western theme feel more real. Overall excellent film one of the better one's I've watched in sometime as it feels real and contemporary as viewers could relate to the story as the movie showcased real happenings of the pandemic year supported by social media. And the characters of the film were blunt, brash, and stood up for what they believed in. "Eddington" is one raw outspoken film that one should not miss.

This "B@B" episode which originally aired on Thursday July 3, 2025 is one full of heart pounding suspense and dangerous drama. As Luna still crushed over the fact that Finn wants nothing to do with her develops a plan she baits and lures Steffy into a cat and mouse game at Hayes's school. Luna is one girl that's scorned hell have no fury as her wrath is to be felt and the poor innocent sweet Ms. Dylan(Sydney Bullock) is used as bait as the art teacher becomes a damsel in distress as Luna ties up and gags her and Ms. Dylan is locked in a side closet away from Steffy as the two argue and discuss Finn and Hayes overall heart pounding drama filled episode that would later lead to more dangerous things. It was nice to see the work of Sydney Bullock hopefully we see more of her as Ms. Dylan on the soap.
