After way too long away from posting here, I think it’s time we changed that! After all, we’re less than a week away from my fav’rit superhero getting a brand spanking new feature film. What better way to celebrate than to bring back my website so I can spend more time pontificating on how amazing Superman actually is!
Speaking of the new James Gunn movie, I have my tickets for Thursday night, and if it’s as good as I am hoping it will be, I’ll likely go again and again. And then again.
Last night, of course, I made a point of rewatching the 1996 classic summer blockbuster Independence Day and it still holds up after all these years. The fact that we didn’t get more Will Smith-Jeff Goldblum buddy films after ID4 is, honestly, a tragedy. I can’t imagine I would ever get tired of sitting through that movie.
Today, as I sit at work, I’m starting to rewatch of season 1 of The Sandman on Netflix before I begin a binge of season 2. Not sure how easy it’ll be to get through, after the news (or maybe it’s confirmation) of Neil Gaiman being a piece of trash, but The Sandman has always been one of my favorites stories. On top of that, there’s a lot of great cast members in the show, and it’s worth making sure they get the exposure they need going forward. The first season was, I thought, a great adaptation. Hopefully, they nail this final season, too.
I have a lot of streaming series and movies on my to-watch list, so my work hours will potentially be filled with new content (or rewatches of old content because sometimes I can’t focus on new material). Over the next couple of months, I still want/have to get through:
Sinners
Poker Face season 2
The Last of Us season 2
The White Lotus season 3
Iron Heart
Heads of State
Thunderbolts*
And I’m sure more and more will be added to the list as I scroll through the various streaming apps I subscribe to. But maybe once that list is cut down a little bit, I can get back to my Marvel Movie Rewatch. We left off at The Avengers last time, so we have quite a few movies to get through!
It’s going to be an exciting (and busy) summer! What are my fellow Geeks looking forward to? Drop some comments and encourage me to keep going over here! You can also find me on Threads @sjferrari1179 and over at BlueSky (though much less frequently) @stevenferrari.bsky.social.
