Looking for help from the RT gang.

My fam will probably catch a movie or two in the theaters over the next few weeks. I have a list of them that I think I'd like to see, but none of them are really giving me that "I can't wait to go see this" kinda vibe.

Has anyone seen any of these that wants to voice an opinion:

Aquaman - reviews have been surprisingly promising, was initially meh, but have been reconsidering

Mary Poppins Returns - daughter loved the original, I like Emily Blunt, it seems like a good fit. I just wish a sequel would never have been made.

Spiderman (into the Spider-Verse) - another one that I was only moderately considering, but I have heard really good reviews from everyone I know that has seen it

Mortal Engines - daughter really wants to see this one, I have a feeling it will play out like a Maze Runner-type movie where everything (acting, plot, dialogue, CGI) is just sorta ok and I'll leave the movie thinking "I've seen worse, I've seen a lot better"

Welcome to Marwen - The idea intrigues me, but it's been getting hammered by reviewers. I don't want to talk myself out of a good movie just because some reviewer wants to be a douchecanoe to get noticed.


Spiderverse got good reviews from the people who do reviews on NPR. Welcome to Marwen looked good to me. The movie that is gone already that I wanted to see was Bohemian Rhapsody.

Well guess my family won't be getting cherry pie this yr. I was sure I had all the ingredients, needed almond extract not vanilla. I guess bacon wrapped smokies and salad will be my contributions this yr.

Thus is the stuff of family stories and fond memories, at some point in the future of course.
We’re watching Snapchat videos of our 2-yr-old and the first visit from Santa that he might remember. Pound puppies everywhere! Grandma also is sending some PP things, but saw no duplicates, so I chose well. Or lucky.
Oh Lordy,pound puppies was DD’s stuffed animal craze. GS is in love with Paw Patrol. Still no duplicates. Maybe I’d better go back to bed.

Merry Christmas RTT gang!

May @BCClone find love somewhere other than weird dating sites.
May @cyrocksmypants and @ISUCyclones2015 also find love, probably not with each other but hey I won't judge.
May @ImJustKCClone find many grand-pongids to spend time with this holiday season.
May @cowgirl836 find many cuddles with little man and minimal bad humor from DH.
May @CycloneErik, @cyrevkah, and Z find only baking supplies and encyclopedias and no flush letters under their tree.
May @coolerifyoudid find a suitable movie to watch with his family.
May @SaraV get to watch a sporting event without having to run around like a chicken with her head cut off for once.
May @Cyclones_R_GR8 have a real day off and not have to answer any work calls.
May @NWICY have a day where he isn't living out of his truck on a work trip.
May @cmjh10 make it through the holidays with only a couple new puppies.
May @wxman1 spend lots of time flying with LittleWx.
May @VeloClone make it through the holidays without calling someone an egotistical, condescending tool.
May @CloneLawman, @jcyclonee, and @SCyclone learn from their more mature offspring, but still retain some of their juvenile humor.
And finally, may @BoxsterCy never find the bottom of the wine bottle.

And to anyone else I missed (there are a lot more regular RTT posters than I remembered!), I hope you have a wonderful holiday season filled with peace, love, joy, and a Cyclone bowl victory!

traipsing thru the treetops
Got home late last night, had trouble going to sleep. Woke up about a half hour ago to just me & the cats. Lew went down to spend some time with his mom in the hospital...guess he felt I needed the sleep! It was a nice Christmas gift. :)
Most of our Christmas festivities are on Christmas Eve. Christmas day is generally spent being lazy together. OTOH, that's pretty much EVERY day now. :D
