I have audio and video that I like to watch multiple times.

There's movies:

  • Rudy
  • The Shawshank Redemption
  • A Few Good Men
  • My Cousin Vinny
  • The Star Wars movies
  • The Lethal Weapon movies
  • The Die Hard movies
  • The MCU movies (not The Incredible Hulk, not Thor, not The Dark World, not Captain Marvel, but most others
  • Any movie I've mentioned on another post on this blog, but not in this list

There's music:

  • The Bayside albums
  • The Metallica albums (including St. Anger, excluding Lulu)
  • Count the Stars' Never be Taken Alive
  • The Shinedown albums
  • Dream Theater's A View from the Top of the World - probably the newest album on my list of repeatable albums

And now, I'm adding videos on YouTube


Today, I'm adding these videos to the above list

Not a War Movie Fan but...

I don't like the "great war movie" genre. For example, while I realize movies like "Platoon" and "Saving Private Ryan" - the movies that popped into my head after writing "great war movie" - are considered "great movies," war is just not a subject I want to watch in a movie. I'm not unpatriotic; I'm not delusional about what "war" is in the "real world." I just choose to not immerse myself in that specific genre. I'd rather watch a "Lethal Weapon" or a "Die Hard" or a "Indy Jones" or a "Star Wars" or "The Shawshank Redemption" before I watch a movie about war. And if the "war movie" is rated R, there's a less than zero chance I will be willing to go. That all said, I like the trailer for this movie - which is about war - and if I read the reviews and they're not describing gory battlefield scenes, I might consider going to see "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk."

WM XXIV

I didn't want my post re: the Sueppels to be my only post, so I'm adding this one.

Wrestlemania XXIV is tomorrow. My friend BSS asked if I wanted to come over and watch it. I'm considering it - my knee seems better. I think it will be an interesting PPV, but I refuse to go match by match. I will say that I don't think Cena will win. I think it has to either be Orton or HHH. Cena is no longer the crowd favorite - in my ears - so it doesn't make sense to put the title back on him.

As I mentioned, my knee is better. I worked a 1/2 day yesterday and came home and took a nap. I was going to watch "Live Free or Die Hard" again but gave up, pulled a blanket up, and snoozed for a couple of hours.

Got 3 CDs last night for me to review @ DV - 16 Second Stare, Whitesnake's new release, and Everclear's comp of the covers they've recorded over the years. 16SS and Everclear were the two I wanted to hear first, and now I'm spinning the 'snake. The first track "Best Years" has a good groove. Coverdale has Reb Breach and Doug Aldrich playing guitar and drummer Chris Frazier in the lineup. I've always liked Breach's riffs, so it will be interesting to hear how this release progresses in my mind.

I signed up for a meet and greet with one of my favorite bands but since I don't want YOU to win, I'm not revealing how or where to sign up - I WANT TO WIN! I'm not even saying when the concert is or even in what state it is in. NO CLUES!!! Sorry for the selfishness, but I deserve it, no?

Editor's Note: these are the results of WM XXIV: WrestleMania XXIV
