You all made it through Abruptio, so now we are on the down slope side of Summer of Strange. So what is this film tonight? A strong grrrl film that went sideways? Maybe a narrator’s wet dream to be paid by the word? Boy I am really not sure. This is based off a comic book which I assume was somewhat successful. Either that, or it ended up being a successful vehicle for a movie full of nude shots. Whatever it is, here we are at the end of the Summer of Strange. The anniversary post comes up next! So enjoy this strange Skinemax feature this evening, and stock up for the party next week!
So what is this really about? Beats me. I almost posted some reviews from IMDB for entertainment value. One person bitched about how the heroine is a white chick (cultural appropriation) and several others just complained that nothing happened except people getting naked. And the IMDB description does not help things. So forget it! It’s about nothing in particular. Really nothing could have topped last week’s feature Abruptio anyway. I thought about ending on that high point but… It’s too easy. Let’s wrap up Summer of Strange with some boobs.
I will say this. Most of the movies this summer have been new, or at least within 10 years old. That gets difficult with the quality of movies lately. So in some small way, I hope these films fulfilled CPRM’s wish to see newer films. If not, I tried, buddy!
So watch! Or don’t! Everything is voluntary! If you hate it, you can talk about your pets, or the weather. There are no rules on Thursdays! Next week, it’s the 4th anniversary of GlibFlicks! After that… Who knows? I had some friends who used to dig a pit and burn all their unsold art at the end of the year. It made a fine party. For the anniversary, I did a similar thing. My TUBI queue of 500+ movies is deleted. I know what you are thinking: “You maniac! You blew it all up!” Don’t worry. I have some friendly chimpanzees I have been training to look up movies for me. Nothing could go wrong…
it ended up being a successful vehicle for a movie full of nude shots.
I’m intrigued.
Diving in!
I go home tomorrow 😔
Phrasing?
“You all made it through Abruptio”
Honestly, I didn’t. Sorry I missed Tonio’s return.
Yeah, I made it through 20 or 30 minutes is all.
“stock up for the party next week!”
Any suggestions?
It’s August, so maybe a Madras, or a rum punch. Like this one:
https://www.glibertarians.com/2022/07/glib-glub/
And some kind of charcuterie tray.
Madras is vodka, OJ, and cranberry. OK.
I quit eating pork, so no charcuterie
I felt like getting high and listening to Judas Priest, then remembered tonight is Thursday.
You know who else liked Rum Punch?
It’s always the right time to listen to Judas Priest.
inorite?
Is Judas Priest anti-Thursday?
I’m sure I’ve *heard* a few of their songs, but I’ve got absolutely no idea. Just listened to Breaking the Law for the first time, IIRC. Not my bag. I didn’t grow up with it, perhaps the biggest.
You must be this old to appreciate this ride.
…but not on SS…
Green dildos
Always a plus.
“Let’s wrap up Summer of Strange with some boobs.”
God bless America!
Show me tiddies!
You don’t have to wait long.
Well, the wife caught a few too many waves with her face in Panama City Beach so I am heading back a few days early. She needs some rest to get over pink eye and light bronchitis. Sorry if I missed anyone here in one of the most free states in the union.
She’s not a team player. Sorry.
Hope she is better soon.
Dang. Safe travels and I hope she feels better soon
Sorry to hear that, R.J. Wishing her a speedy recovery.
I hope she gets well soon.
[deletes inappropriate joke]
Get well soon, Mrs. RJ.
Thanks all. I am drying towels, packing clothes, etc… while she rests. I hope she will do better in a couple of days. If not, she goes to urgent care for some antibiotics. I offered her GlibFlick movie therapy and she offered to sever my testicles.
Kinky
Pretty sure those are blue contacts.
You are looking at the contacts?
Well, it’s tits, tits, tits, tits, tits, tits, tits, so you need a break so it’s tits!
I think Lion Girl has a little lust for the daughter.
That’s just way too much fucking narration. You are making a movie. Put it in the movie.
See my comment above. They must have paid that narrator by the word and let him write his own lines.
Which comment?
Narrator is a she.
Sorry. Misgendering tonight.
Yeah. Exposition / narration is a sign of weak writing.
The plot should move forward on its own dialogue and action.
This guy gets it.
This movie sat on the edge of deletion from the queue for a while. I decided it would be the last film of Summer of Strange. And it is strange.
Kurt Vonnegut has a great line about a *necessary* purpose when writing a short story:
‘Every sentence must do one of two things: Advance action or reveal character.’ He does add that Flannery O’Connell broke nearly every one of his rules, except the first: ‘Don’t waste the time of the reader.’
I’ve never read anything by her. I should fix that, along with my not reading fiction.
Did I mention my friend’s new, and first, book of short stories? I’m not sure I remembered to send the little blurb I wrote. Fascinating man I taught with in Korea. He’s the one I visited in Medellin. He can write.
I’ve only got 59 movies in my Tubi list. I think I’ve mentioned The Swiss Conspiracy before in honor of our favorite punster.
Training Montage!

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues – Official Trailer
I will go watch it. Should at least be some pleasant laughs.
The trailer didn’t scare me off. It’s dangerous messing with success.
After the video it cut to played Hollywood Reporter and an interview with Meathead about the film. One question he was asked was about “The Princess Bride” and a sequel or remake. He said he wouldn’t do one.
Princess Bride should never be touched again. No remakes or sequels. Even Meathead knows that.
“You sequelled my movie. Prepare to die!”
I really hope this sequel works.

Commercial for the Massachusetts lottery for scratch tickets in a phone app? Whoa.
I have been so distracted I hardly noticed ads. So far, LG is a popular appliance in Florida, as I can gather. No wacky commercials so far.
Whoa. It’s real.
Well, it will free up the line at Massachusetts’ convenience stores.
This.
Few things are as obnoxious as lottery low-wits clogging up the line.
Hate to go off topic, but I am bothered by something. Why haven’t the dimwits accusing Sidney Sweeney of being a nazi pointed to the real low hanging fruits of her initials – SS? What are they saving that for?
If she autographs with two lightning bolts she’s done.
Looks like just a plain old scribble. https://www.ebay.com/itm/356849974747?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=356849974747&targetid=2299003535955&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=9029532&poi=&campaignid=22612879343&mkgroupid=179470389079&rlsatarget=pla-2299003535955&abcId=10333141&merchantid=6296724&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22612879343&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh8D46ThWfssblRHUUzzoAQaY&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8MnMzpL6jgMV_S6tBh1hRS9dEAQYAyABEgJc1_D_BwE
I’m not sure if it was real or the Bee, but it’s already been mentioned.
The Bee mentioned it, so it will become reality shortly.
Wow. Well… this got a bit tedious but the boobs and butt were nice.
And I’m out for the night. Thanks RJ!
I went to Mom’s show at an outdoor event today. She sang, played guitar and hammer dulcimer with a fiddlist (teehee!) and a (lackluster) dulcimer player.
Mom’s a very good guitar player, traditional and flamenco (sp?), but her (soprano) singing voice is exceptional.
On another friend, my ex has contacted me. There’s no way I’m *not* going to pursue this, in one manner or another. She’s a huge baseball fan, Yankees, and was an international finance lawyer in NYC. She sent me a message of all sorts of (way, way way too assured) businesses she’s working to start. (She just said she’s working on them; I don’t know what they are, yet.) She’s also stupid hot. Family’s Egyptian.
Oh, dearest my, oh, me. It feels she’s in a manic phase, after telling me she’s coming out of a severe depressive one. Well. Ya miss 100% of the shots ya don’t take. We really did fall in love. (We’ll have to add a No Politics Rule.) I’m not envisioning winning Game 7, here. I do think I’ll pull a Daryl Strawberry and hit nine home runs in the game, but Mr. Burns won’t pull me. I’d love to have her as a friend again. We do share many interests. Yes, much (not all) of this is ridiculous territory I’m treading, but, hey. Ya only live once.
I’m also quite proud that in my baseball days, I was a lead off hitter and I *rarely* struck out. As I mentioned before, when it comes to women, I’m sick of striking out looking. *shrug*
*On another front, my ex contacted me.
Ex-traneous?
Ex-ponential?
“On another friend, my ex has contacted me.”
Nope. Reread. Yep. She contacted me while she was on another friend, surely one of several conquests I failed to make in my past. (I don’t know *which* one, yet! We have to find out!)
(Yeah. I’m gonna proceed with this. I have to at least find out. She’s remarkable in many ways. I must go to my bunk now. I have to wake up in four hours for work. I, uh, may find an interloping idea sharing my bunk. I like that idea.
Peace out, and thanks R.J.
“Ex-traneous?
Ex-ponential?”
Nah. Exuberant.
Greetings late night glibbies.
Evening.
I’m trying to imrpove my SQL knowledge to make my day job easier. But I can’t figure out the best time to do it.
Ive been knee deep in PowerBI, query, sql and all that.
A close colleague since 2020’s last day is tomorrow.
Some of his SQL is impenetrable to me and it’s all on my plate now. Whee!
(con’td) And I’m still catching up on the last 13 months that I missed and helping cover for two other colleagues who vanished while I was out.
In other words, nothing has changed.
Welcome back to cube life!
Good luck, Bonby Tables!
Er, Bobby Tables, but I assume you know the joke.
Okay. I have my garden salad and a Big Sky Brewing Summer Honey seasonal ale. Time for some serious, thoughtful Dramatic acting.
AAAAAA! Wieners!
Should be a chill day at work. The phone plan hustlers were there yesterday, adding delightful window dressing to my picks ’round the aisles. She’s worth a detour.
Speaking of, I’ll see how the ex-rebound proceeds. I’m confident she’ll get in touch today. *furrows brow with puckered, gumshoe lips*
This place is lame in the mornings when Sean is on vacation, What national day is it? Should I kick ass, or get out there, or both? I may just go back to bed.

Will there be a fifth dildo?
There is always a fifth dildo.
*THERE* *ARE* FOUR* *DILDOS*

That was me.
