Sunday Sundown Rundown

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 7/22/18

3 Up

1. U.K. Supermarket - A supermarket in Britain has committed to one hour dimming the lights, sounds, and everything that contributes to sensory overload to allow customers with autism to shop. I love everything about this, as we all - all of us - often place ableism on the back burner of the equality fight. So much respect for those in leadership at Morrisons.

2. Home Run Derby - How awesome has the derby been since switching over to the timed format? Another HRD provided us yet another great moment with Bryce Harper's 60 second onslaught to win the crown. And oh yeah, Cubs fans need to calm down on the complaining/nit picking of the rules. It's supposed to be fun, folks.

3. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - The Brahma Bull (can us pro wrestling fans still call him that?) according to Forbes is now the highest grossing actor in the world. $124M! The Rock has come a loooooong way. Even before pro wrestling, it's hard to imagine the dude once had just $7 to his name. Chase greatness, y'all. It is possible.

3 Down

1. Donald Trump - Do I even need to explain that debacle and disaster in Helsinki? Even worse? Those that are still attempting to defend the poor performance and obvious - being compromised by Putin. Blahhhhhhh...

2. Missouri Boat Tragedy - So, so heart breaking. Such a freak accident now has rendered many gone, including one family completely torn apart with multiple fatalities. Again, so tough to hear.

3. NFL - How clueless is this league? It's rather remarkable to see these owners go about so many avenues to appease the President, and of course, what they believe is the cause for declining ratings, rather than simply addressing why this all started in the first place. And no, not about the anthem, about inequality and oppression of people in this country.

1 SMH

1. Larry Fedora - Here is a college football coach claiming that less football will contribute to the "decline" of the country. Also, this same coach dismisses links between football and CTE. Ummm, alright. SMH. I guess football coaches, gonna football coach with all that tough guy brovado until the very end.

Dome Pondering Movie Review: The Incredibles 2 (2018)

What is it about? The Parr family returns to take on a new mission which involves a change in family roles as well as a new villain. Who is in it? Craig T. Nelson - Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible Holly Hunter - Helen Parr/Elastagirl Sarah Powell - Violet Parr Favorite Scene: After trying to contain Jack-Jack, his constant battle with a backyard rodent opens up the family to the multitude of powers that he possesses, or even, can develop. Favorite Quote: "If you wanna get out of the hole, first you gotta put down the shovel." Review: Like many, I LOVED the original Incredibles film. And yes, I too was annoyed whenever a sequel wasn't announced. After all, there were many franchises that debuted, got a sequel, and even moved straight to release on their third installment before our lovable heroic family got their turn! But I digress... Nonetheless, it finally arrived. And if I'm being honest, The Incredibles 2 was good. It just wasn't what I wa

Dome Pondering Movie Review: We're the Millers (2013)

What is it about? A veteran neighborhood drug dealer creates a fake family of interesting people in his neighborhood to transport a huge shipment of drugs from Mexico into the U.S. Who is in it? Jason Sudeikis - David Clark Jennifer Aniston - Rose O'Reilly Will Poulter - Kenny Rosmore Emma Roberts - Casey Mathis

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 4/2/23

3 Up 1. Women's College Basketball - From the epic semi-final that was Iowa vs. South Carolina that crushed it in the ratings to today's awesome drama that was Iowa vs. LSU, women's basketball earned some much-deserved respect in the mainstream sports media. Shout out to all in today's game - loved it. 1a. Confident Women - I'm not jumping on a hot take regarding Caitlin Clark and Angela Reese. Both are super confident women who talked trash and balled. Give the women the space to do it, take it, and express it - like we do the men. Much respect to Clark and to Reese as well. 2. Wrestlemania - An amazing two nights for the WWE. Just epic storytelling and overall solidifies the greatest live event in entertainment. No one does it like the WWE. 3. Pandemic Over (?) - So, I'm not sure if anyone has officially, officially ended the pandemic - if they did, I definitely missed it. However, with the Senate voting to overturn the COVID-19 national emergency order, is

Impact No Surrender 2023 Review: "Interested in where the Product is Going"

I've fallen behind on my Impact Wrestling viewing, but honestly, that's okay. For viewership and enjoyment, yes. Not so well for posting a review for readership long after it's noteworthy or relevant. But whatevs, that's just where I am in life. Wrestling is much more fun removed from the restraints and influence of the criticism and impact (no pun intended) of the current time. That's just me. You can probably thank social media. Moving on, No Surrender 2023 continues Impact's progress into the new year. The product is still solid and consistent with a nice blend of characters and wrestlers moving in and out of the main event scene, along with a fresh batch of a resurgence of characters and occurrences. Nothing says that more than Rich Swann vs. Josh Alexander. No Surrender was a solid event, but it does leave me extremely interested in where the product is going, or should I say planning, for 2023. I don't want to say that Alexander's title reign has
