Talkie Tuesday: The Princess and the Pirate

 

"Long live Sandokan!" 

 
Hello everyone!
 
Boy, do I have a treat for you tonight.
 
An oldie but a goldie, so to speak.
 
Every once in a while I lean into the nostalgia factor and vibes here on this blog, especially and particularly because I tend to like diving into it myself personally as well.
 
So that's what I did with tonight's movie choice.
 
I also find it incredibly pointed to be talking about a movie from the nineties that was actually really good in comparison to some modern stuff circulating nowadays, while we all talk about Nolan's upcoming Odyssey, which looks ... well, the scope sure looks epic, but the individual details aren't what reaches the OG Troy, even a little bit.
 
We'll see about that, eventually.
 
God knows what that's going to look like. 
 
For now we're headed into the land of piracy once more, with The Princess and the Pirate!

Talkie Tuesday: The Land Before Time

 

"Some things you see with your eyes, others you see with your heart."

 
Hello everyone!
 
I hope you're ready with your Kleenex and your chocolate, because tonight's post is going to be a doozy.
 
That's right, I'm on an old cartoon animation kick.
 
And what better way to keep going ... than by going for what, it has been said before, is probably ranked among the top ten saddest movies of all time?
 
Yes, I watched it voluntarily. 
 
Yes, I recognize this is probably insane.
 
But anyway!
 
Without further ado, let's check back in with the land of ... dinosaurs. You guessed it. It's back, way back we go, and we'll hopefully not lose all hope along the way.
 
That's what sometimes happens if you're watching The Land Before Time.

Talkie Tuesday: Major League

 

"Well then I guess there's only one thing left to do: win this whole f-ing thing." 


Hello everyone!

And welcome to the randomest choice of movie for the review ever.

See, this is what happens when my family decides we're going to have a movie night, and ends up watching something as old as I am.

Oh yeah, this movie came out in 1989.

And by the way, they still made movies you could actually call movies back in those days. What I mean by that is that they FEEL realistic with the vocabulary people use, the actions taken, and the fact they're legitimately focusing on the plot rather than any political machination in the background.

I'm sure there were agendas even back then, but there's certainly none of that WOKE stuff.

I'm telling you, that's the worst that could ever happen honestly.

So forget about it for a second and grab your baseball caps, because we're headed back to Major League and trying to figure out how the circus won the cup.
