Sunday Sundown Rundown - 3/10/24

3 Up

1. Wrongly Convicted Man Released - A wrongly convicted man was released in Philadelphia after 30 years -30 YEARS! Each time there is a story like this I am filled with many emotions. But the biggest one is that I'm happy to see justice done correctly. Peace be to that man. 

2. Caitlin Clark Effect - Clark continues to scorch the sports world as the Big Ten Championship (in which Clark participated) garnered the highest ratings for a regular season women's basketball game. I really can't wait to see what she does this season with the Indiana Fever. 

3. Instagram/Facebook Outage - It was for a mere few hours. But you know what? It was glorious. Remember the world before social media? Ahhhhhh, reality...

3 Down

1. Biden vs. Trump II - Well, now it's official after Nikki Haley officially suspended her campaign. It's the most inevitable (and possibly unwanted) rematch in the history of anything. It really does beg, can we not do better? 

2. Haiti Gang Violence - Haiti is undergoing some extreme social movements with gang warfare taking over the country. Haiti has seen its government seized, prisons released, and various ports under the control of gangs. Truly, some concerning (and Jack Ryan-ish) stuff. 

3. Amazon Wildfires - Well, there are now parts of the Amazon Rainforest that expect rainfall this time of the year, and is now on fire. Never seen before! Do with that as you want...

Dome Pondering Move Review: Say You Will (2017)

What is it about? A recent high school graduate cares for his mother while attempting to navigate his first relationship following his father's suicide.  Who is in it? Travis Tope - Sam Nimitz Katherine Hughes - Ellie Vaughn Favorite Scene: [spoiler alert] Sam plays his song for his mom. Favorite Quote: Ellie: "I wish we could have met down the road, maybe when we were like 27." Sam: "I think we needed each other now." Review:  Say You Will was an absolutely pleasant surprise of a watch from the Amazon Prime offerings.  I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with this one, but after the credits rolled, it was a movie that provided authentic characters and a great lesson on life. We don't always have to have everything figured out, and it's okay if you don't.  What makes Say You Will so beautiful is that all of the characters are carrying some inner struggle that connects them in the moment and time that helps them through whatever it is. The unlike...

TNA Slammiversary 2026: "A great show that felt like it could have been epic with the proper buildup."

TNA certainly came into Slammiversary 2026 carrying some public relations (or perception?) baggage which affected the excitement for this event. For me, Slammiversary has become one of those wrestling events on the calendar that moves the needle for me. This is especially the case after attending last year's historic event.   This year, the hype was not there. And ultimately, the overall creative process for the product for most of 2026 was well...plain. It wasn't terrible. But yeeaaaaaahhhhhhh, nothing felt overly exciting. The company had no major storyline driver. And thus, we saw the removal of Tommy Dreamer as head of creative at TNA after being with the company for almost ten years. Much of Slammiversary 2026 felt like it was pulled together two weeks out. And even heading into the show, with the added drama of Dreamer's release, TNA once again felt unstable.  Fortunately, what we got was a great show that feels like - again, there is that perception thing! - TNA is ...
