My movie updates are going to
be confusing if they are out of order in the future. This should be the post
that solves any confusion potentially starting here in case you were wondering
how different movies wound up on the list or if more choices were added
entirely. I don’t know what will be happening regarding March Madness, but that
could put more of these episodes on tape. I just know that we’ll see what
happens each year as it happens. There was at least one movie I was wanting to
rent, provided that I can find it and have time to watch it. That, and I’ll be
wanting to add new movie lists for more than just Saturdays and Sundays. What
are these updates? Well, let’s see.
The first weekend, I’m able to
watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Now, while I normally don’t like seeing the
same movie twice in a year, I am planning on watching all seven main Star Wars
movies again this year. I just have to borrow them from my brother first.
Speaking of borrowing movies, a friend lent me Prometheus to watch sometime, so
that will replace Star Wars on the list. Meanwhile, I’m borrowing another movie
series from my brother to rewatch that isn’t on my list just yet. As for
Sunday, I watch The Treasure of the Sierra Madre with commentary, having
previously watched it normally. Now, let’s go into a history of my movie
watching lists before I mention its replacement.
I’m not going to start at the
very beginning as that would take too long. It was two years ago that I
received from my aunt and uncle a box of various movies on DVD as a birthday
gift during the summer. This affected all of my movie watching lists. At the
time, I had two lists: one on Saturday and one on Sunday. I didn’t know how all
of these movies would affect the next lists considering how I already had a
bunch of movies that I could watch. There was also the complication of
underlined choices which are choices that, for one reason or another, I want to
watch again. Also, since I normally don’t want to watch the same movie twice in
one year, this created a whole potential of underlined choices for the
beginning of 2016. Ultimately, I had finished watching all of my Christmas
movies on time in December, so I was unsure of how to move forward at the
beginning of the year.
I ultimately decided that I
would add a new list for Friday at the beginning of the year that mostly
contained underlined choices I had been unable to add the previous year. I also
made it so that only five underlined choices would appear on the list of
replacement choices. I had also crossed out, for the moment, any choices that
weren’t their old movies unless they were unlined or there were no replacements
under the rules that I used. During this time, I moved Friday’s list to first
Thursday then Wednesday so that it would be at the same time as updates to my
Survivor blog. Thus, I was able to juggle these three lists between the other
choices without much confusion. By the time summer shows started, I had time on
a Friday to watch movies due to the lack of shows on that particular Friday
night. So I used the declining list of underlined choices to add on Friday. The
lists continued to be done and I finally had it so that only one of their movies
wasn’t watched yet so I underlined it and finally added any and all choices
that I couldn’t have added before to the options. This was a lot of movies to watch again.
Regardless of their being a
bunch of new options available, I wound up having to get rid of old lists as I
wasn’t able to replace them using the rules that I use. Getting rid of a list
isn’t as easy as adding one and it involves moving the old choices to other
lists. I got rid of Sunday’s list and dissolved it while moving Wednesday’s old
list to Sunday in its place, no longer needing a movie option when I planned on
doing Survivor blog updates. It wasn’t long after Sunday’s first dissolved list
was fully moved to the other days when the current Sunday list also got
dissolved. I moved Friday’s old list to Sunday in its stead and worked on
dissolving Sunday’s second list. There is still one movie left to transfer that
I’m currently unable to move just yet. Once it is moved, I have a lot of movies
to add and plan on creating new lists for them all.
Stuff that was on the second
dissolved Sunday list were Indiana Jones, that wound up on Saturday’s list, and
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which can only be moved once either
Hancock is removed from Saturday’s list or The Hobbit series is removed from
Sunday’s list. With Sunday’s list, it has the original Friday choices of The
Hobbit and Back to the Secret Garden on it. It also has the options from
Sunday’s first dissolved list of Front of the Class and, now formerly, The
Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Only the Treasure of the Sierra Madre is now
replaced by Vantage Point, the only choice of my aunt and uncle’s old movies
that hasn’t been added to a list yet. The other choices on Sunday’s current
list are movies that have replaced old choices.
A show called Training Day is
airing in this show’s old timeslot. I saw the first episode, but won’t be
watching it again. Now an interesting thing happened with it. The lead of the
show died. He filmed all of his appearances in it for all of this season before
his death. The show is lowly rated and was leaning towards cancellation before
his death. Now, while they might be more likely to air all of these episodes, I
don’t see them renewing the series without him.
There might not be many or any
updates regarding the five books in the rotation that I’m reading. (There are
two others, outside of the rotation, that I’m also reading. But I won’t tell
you much, if any, about them.) There is a change to the reading rotation. A
book in it, Lights, Camera, Fiction, is being taken out of the rotation for now.
I have to see a movie before starting a new chapter so I am setting it aside
for that reason until I can watch a certain movie.
Now, as for the next weekend,
I watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I originally had the first three
movies on VHS tape and the last on DVD. One of the movies I got from my aunt
and uncle was Raiders of the Lost Ark. I decided to get the other two Indiana
Jones movies on DVD and I have gone a long time between rolling the choices. Indeed,
Indiana Jones was the choice that was the longest on what was once Wednesday’s
list as it was one of the items originally on it when it was first added. This
is over a year later and I just now am watching this DVD for the first time
having finally taken it out from its packaging.
The next day might be crazy
and I have family planning to visit soon. And I roll one of the Lord of the
Rings movies: The Fellowship of the Ring. I guess that if I don’t finish it
before they come, then I’ll hopefully get it done once they leave. I also hope
that I’m able to watch or record this at a good time, but I might have to watch
it later online.
It turns out that my family
didn’t arrive until Monday and they stayed until Friday. This made me glad that
I had already decided to delay this episode being posted in the blog. I just
hope that you are glad that older episodes are finally posted before I get back
to this one. I would not have been able to post this on the Thursday in
question because I hadn’t been able to see it that quickly. I also might not
have posted another blog that day after all and, indeed, had scheduled
preplanned posts for other blogs ahead of time so I wouldn’t have to worry
about them. Hopefully things are back on track in the future as I don’t even
know when you will be seeing this post yet.
Today’s episode is brought to
you by no delay. We begin with a recap of Kitty who was on this show back in
the third? season. She returns at the burial of a person whom she believes was
murdered. Sherlock wants Marcus to get some sort of evidence or confession from
a suspect regarding what seems to be an unrelated murder.
The second act has some of
what Kitty has been doing the past two years revealed: she was helping victims
of human trafficking. What we don’t know is if she will be charged with the
assault or whatever thing she did to that one victim from earlier. She talks to
Tommy who is glad to see her. Only she is mostly antisocial this time around.
She gives theories as to why she thought that three deaths were actually
murders. Sherlock talks to a sociopath in a wheelchair. One of the potential
victims had two shoes that were tied differently when he was found dead. The
newest dead person was found to have his grave plot dug out and then burnt
relentlessly, thus making it difficult to prove that the cause of death could
be changed if wrong.
The third act has more of the
burnt corpse. Watson and Kitty feel that the ME did a bad job while the ME
appears to have thought that she didn’t need to do that good a job when the
victim had all the heart problems that he did. Watson follows Kitty to her
apartment or wherever she is staying and gets attacked by someone who turns out
to be the nanny of a baby.
The fourth act continues this
mostly confusing episode. Kitty explains to Watson the story of her son. She
wants to tell Sherlock about it, but he gets called away to a meeting. The ME
from earlier is brought into the police headquarters and questioned. It also
appears as if the wheelchair guy whose name I can’t remember has killed someone
for sure.
The fifth act clarifies things
for me. The wheelchair guy was the victim who fell onto a car, not the person
who might have been doing the killing. Sherlock and his team wonder how they
are so wrong about things. The team does learn based on evidence that it’s
unlikely that this guy killed himself. There are now four victims of strange
crimes. When Sherlock gets back to where he lives, he is arrested.
On the next Elementary, a
rogue killer is after Sherlock. It looks like a lot of interesting things are
happening. What could wind up happening next? I guess that I will have to wait
until next time to find out for sure. For now, this is Adam Decker, signing
off.
