(S7) - Weekend PT 3 - Movie Night

[Toasty]

Us Pythons have a Saturday night ritula. We either go to the movies and watch what is airing or we bring in all of our Playstation 4s and X-boxes and we play video games all night. We play Fortnite, Madden, NBA 2k, Fifa, and any game someone brings in. We game share on the X-boxes which is really good. All f the games it is like a Tournament. It usually comes down to Mark Grau, Zach Skinner, Cole McCoy, and Mason Brown. The funnest game we play is probably drunk Madden or Drunk Fortnite. If we go to the movies we end up at a bar til closing time. The one with the most alcohol tolerance would have to be our old man of a GM @speculadora. But we don't drink and drive we always have a shit ton of Ubers waiting to bring us back to our loving Wives.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop saved save my marriage.

We were in a rough patch. We were arguing all the time. The bedroom was dead. We hadn't been on a date in weeks. We started acting real petty towards each other. I remember staying out with people who weren't even really my friends just because I'd rather be out with strangers than at home.

One night after another argument I decided to blow off some steam and watch some TV. She wanted to watch the Bachelor. I was pretty mad and feeling petty so instead I clicked some random movie on Netflix. It was Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

It turns out it was the best decision I'd ever made.

We watched the movie in complete silence, astonished by what unfolded before our eyes. By the time Paul Blart uttered the line "If you remember one thing from today, it's this: the mind is the only weapon that doesn't need a holster," we were in tears.

We hugged. We cried. We hugged some more. We cried again.

And just like that, in the blink of a moment, we realized that our marriage was so much more than we had treated it. We could do anything we put our minds to. And that included having a beautiful marriage - one that we had always dreamed of.

I asked her what was something I should appreciate more about her. She said "I know a lot about sharks." She asked me what I was thinking. I said "Nobody wins a headbutt."

That night, we rekindled our marriage in a way that I had never dreamed possible. Now, we couldn't be happier.

Never give up hope. There is light all around us, we just have to know where to look. And for me, that light was Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

I really love PUBG. Battlegrounds is a fantastic video game that essentially kickstarted the battle royale genre and inspired a lot of other games like Fortnite to completely change their games to get on the hype train. PUBG really does it well though, the experience of a Hunger Games type event, searching for weapons and having to be in a specific zone on a huge map. I love the game even if I suck at shooters. Essentially I turn the game into hide and seek and get killed, but by playing a ton I actually improved a lot already. It's an incredibly fun game and I really love playing it. I think it is even more fun playing with friends or such, because you get the interaction part down as well. It's been one of my favorite games in recent memories and I am really happy I get to enjoy it especially on weekends! I have even won some games, so really it has been amazing.

You know what. It seems there's new superhero movies coming out every month now. And I'm all for it. I love superhero movies. Watching all the characters that I read about in my childhood suddenly appear on the big screen is great. There are some classic movies that have really made me enjoy the genre. Obviously, the first Iron Man is iconic and it started the entire MCU. It was a pretty darn good movie as well. The first Spider-Man was incredible as well. The Tobey Maguire Spider-Man has a special place in my heart. Recently, I've found less and less hype about these movies though. The all seem kind of repetitive. They're all origin stories with love interest, a bad guy that beats them by exposing a character flaw, and then the hero kills the bad guy which forever closes that arc. Even Black Panther, which everyone says is the greatest superhero movie, has that same arc. Never again will we see anymore development from the villains in that movie. Black Panther now moves on and will probably never mention any character development gained in the first movie ever again. On the other hand, Thor (which most people say is the weakest franchise) has seen some of the best character development because of his long term, consistent battle with his villain, Loki. That being said, Infinity War might change the formula. And for that, I'll be forever entertained by this upcoming movie.

Choose Your Own Adventure stories are a blast. They can be found on Steam, usually a couple of bucks per story. You might remember (if you are a member of the Old People Unite movement) Choose Your Own Adventure novels, where you would be presented with a choice on which action to take and a page to turn to whichever one describes your action. The problem with this was that this meant that at the times you were supposed to be most drawn in and on the edge of your seat, you stepped out of the story. With the computer-based ones, though, the moment you click your decision, you see the results. In addition, you can develop your character much like in a table-top RPG. In a way, these are a lot like those, only with a much better focus on story.

Naturally, a Choose Your Own Adventure should be about choice, but different authors take different spins on this. Some pre-determine your goals and story and let you choose how to accomplish it (which I find very unsatisfying) while others offer complete freedom without any form of structure (the best of these is Choice of the Vampire, the most freeform story I’ve seen). The best ones maintain structure while allowing choice on development (Sabres of Infinity, Zombie Exodus, A Study in Steampunk). Enjoy!

Your ife cannot just be filled with sports. There is obviously other stuffs out there in this world that is more than sports and that is entertainment. Now there is a lot of entertainment out there like movies and video games. But what about books? Books are also fabulous and something people these days do not hang around with.

Books not only is entertaining but it also makes you smarter and more gathering. Now Roenick loves fiction books because they are more outstanding. Maybe science fiction or fantasy or horror. One of those genres and it is enjoyment. They can be long or short whatever but the bottom line is that books are so entertaining and truth is movies which lots of people watch these days come from books so coming up with ideas. Now there are some good books but also some crappy books, whatever if it's enjoyable it's enjoyed.

One of Carlito Crush’s favorite forms of entertainment is actually watching hockey. He’s a huge fan of the NHL in general, and while his favorite team didn’t make the playoffs (The Buffalo Sabres, for the record), he’s still watching as much hockey as he can. He was rooting for the Los Angeles Kings, but of course they ended up getting swept in the first round. Crush likes to watch the games, especially when they go into multiple overtimes. You can really judge a person based on how hard they’re still going in an extremely important game when they’re completely exhausted. The NHL playoffs are easily the most exciting thing in sports. Crush is partial to Vegas and Tampa Bay right now, and truly hopes that the plane chartering either the Boston Bruins or Toronto Maple Leafs (or both!) has engine failure and dives right into Lake Ontario or something. Those teams are the worst. Even if you don’t like hockey, give the playoffs a chance. It may change your mind. (170)

Brock Weathers is definitely one of the biggest movie watchers around and that is no secret. If you ever ask Brock whether he's seen a movie, nine times out of ten he will say he has. It definitely helps that he doesn't have a favorite movie genre and will watch literally anything; yes even the 999 movies Nicholas Cage has on Netflix. Well, that isn't entirely true. If he had to choose only one genre to watch it'd have to be psychological horror movies. There's just something about that genre that grabs him, probably the fact that it makes your mind twist and bend and try to figure things out. His current favorite movies that he's recently watched in this genre are Ex Machina, The Gift, and Enemy. Don't let this fool you though, I bet if you were to take a peek through his movie collection a majority of them would be chick flicks....because who doesn't love a good chick flick every now and then?
