Sunday Sundown Rundown - 12/27/20


3 Up

1. Christmas Day - Merry Christmas to all - I hope you all found unexpected happiness in what has been a challenging year. 

2. Nashville Police Officers - Timothy Miller, Breona Hosey, James Luellen, Michael Sipos, Amanda Topping, and James Wells - the six Nashville PD officers who raced into danger and alerted nearby citizens prior to the explosion that rocked the downtown areas of the city. Much respect.

 3. Karl-Anthony Towns - Watching the emotional Towns return to basketball was a tough site. After losing seven - yes, SEVEN - family members to COVID, including his mother, Towns struggled to return to the court for the first time since the tragic summer. More power to the dude. 

3 Down

1. Coronavirus Projections - I'm not sure if what we hear is more fear promotion or legit models, but with rising cases and the expectation out of this holiday season to be grim, this virus is not going away. We've already seen the most people traveling for the year, hitting marks prior to COVID in early 2020. 

2. Nashville Explosion - Horrible. Disgusting. And I wish media outlets would call it what it is - domestic terrorism. 

3. Andre Maurice Hill - Another one sad scenario of a black man being killed by a police officer.

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

AEW All IN: London (2023) Review: "This large of a crowd for an event that wasn't the WWE!"

I'm obviously registering these thoughts incredibly late, but such is the current state of pro wrestling right now - there is just so much going on, and so much to enjoy. It's a great time to be a fan, regardless of where your tribalism fandom falls - if you carry such allegiances.  I'm sure no matter what product you find entertaining, you circled AEW's All In event from Wembley Stadium as a must-watch. I don't care about someone else's "take" on the attendance total - I couldn't care less if it was the record for a pro wrestling event or not - what AEW was able to accomplish is absolutely amazing! Four years in, and the company produced an event on the levels of Wrestlemania in terms of attendance and business - that's damn impressive! Tony Khan and the entire company deserve loads of credit for taking that leap because it very much could have failed. They took a chance, and absolutely delivered (and so much more), and proved there is a subs

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 8/20/23

3 Up 1. Lahaina Community Promise - After everything we've seen in Hawaii and the wildfires in Hawaii, sometimes it feels "too early" to discuss the future, or the shift that can take place going forward. Kudos to the Governor who ensured this week that the Lahaina Community will have a say in the area's rebuild. We won't say it out of respect to the present, but the area is ripe for transition with tourists and other types of gentrification.  2. Spain, Women's World Cup - A big win this week as the women of Spain wrap up the Women's World Cup with a 1-0 victory over England.  3. Netflix Suits - I watched Suits when it aired on the USA Network and consider it one of my favorite TV Shows, ever. Seeing its renaissance on Netflix has been cool. Even more so, watching it (alongside another favorite in Bluey) at the center of the changing dynamics of television-watching culture has been interesting.  3 Down 1. Extreme Weather - Another week, more crazy weather
