Sunday Sundown Rundown - 3/13/22

3 Up

1. Paralympics - The courage of the athletes competing in the Paralympics is amazing! However, have you watched some of the competitions? Some of these athletes - regardless of disability or ability - are just outright phenomenal at what they do. Shout out to all of the individuals who competed for the past two weeks. 

2. MLB Returns - Well, well, well...look who finally got their act together! So, we're going to get a full 162-game season after all, and the next few weeks are going to be interesting in regards to roster moves. 

For what it's worth - I'm not a huge fan at all of the new 12-team playoff format.

 3. jeen-yuhs - Look, you can have the opinion of Kanye West that you have, but I urge you to watch this trilogy documentary on Netflix. Not only does it give you insight into his grind, and his outstanding talent as a producer, rapper, and overall, creative artist, from the very beginning, but it opens you up to the relationship he had with his mother, and how it obviously has impacted his life and career. 

3A. Coodie Simmons - So much props to this dude on beginning to film Kanye at the age of 19, taking a chance on someone he knew was destined for greatness - and of course, always being there for Kanye. 

3 Down

1. War on Ukraine - Now we've got bombs and terrorist-like attacks. The catastrophe continues to pile up, and despite the world leveraging Russia however they can, all of it continues forward. The images are so incredibly sobering of how fragile life is. 

2. Gas Prices - These prices are insane. That's all there is to it. Absolutely bonkers. 

3. Census Undercount - Reports are now coming out that the 2020 Census results are now believed to be skewed, undercounting Black, Brown, and Native American residents, and in some areas, overcounting white and Asian-American individuals. This, of course, comes from the overall numbers that show the country is browning more than ever - which probably means it's even more so than originally thought. 

The bad? So many communities that need the funding based on representation will not receive those resources for the next few years based on this incorrect data. 

Ugh...as always. 

1 Unsure

1. Brittney Griner - Obviously a terrible story...and a very peculiar one considering the timing here. Griner has been imprisoned for nearly a month now and no one knows her whereabouts. What is going on?! 

1 Remembrance

1. Two Years of a Pandemic - Here we are two years after the world shut down, literally. We're still in this mess (when is the pandemic officially over? Like, for real...), but it's rather amazing how much we've all changed since then.

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
