Lego Camper - 100%

Beautiful set!
Great colors!
Tons of detail!
Cool wheels, interior, compartments!
Makes me want a real camper!
So retro!

I have been wanting this set for a long time. I first saw it six years ago, before I had really gotten back in to Legos, and almost bought it on impulse then.

I can't believe how long this set has held its price and stayed on the shelves! Since 2011!

Stickers were a pain...

Built with my wife over Christmas break.

Lego Spiders 75950 - 100%

I don't care anything for Harry Potter but these spiders are cool!
Get five little ones and one big one in this set.
Great buy for 11.99!
Got this as a Christmas present from my wife!

District 9 - 90%

Another mockumentary..

Good enough plot.. Not too complex and only a few holes...
Why did they not shoot the drop ship when it was in the tractor beam like they did the first time?

Wonder if there will be a squeal..?

A lot of attention to detail and promoting/building an interesting alien culture.

Lots of bad language and violence.

Watched on Netflix.

Wartership Down - 92%

Netflix 4 part miniseries.
Parts 1-3 were better than part 4.

Great story and tell of a journey.

It was difficult to tell the rabbits apart sometimes.

The ending didn't really work..
- Starve them out? While standing out in the open?
- Scar attacks the dog?

Venom - 70%

The special effects and look of Venom was great...
Too much goofiness..
Turd in the wind???

POE Winter Orb - 95%

I tried Lancing Steel with Mathil but it felt terrible.
I tried Lancing from 1:30 till 10:00 Friday and started over with Orb at 4:00 AM Saturday.

Winter Orb was much better! I got all the way from level 1 to tier 3 maps in one day easily.



The skill tree was easy. Life sustain was decent.

Made it to level 90 in less than a week with just play an hour or two each morning.

Betrayal is good... The Tiny Reward with the crafting currency is one of the best rewards ever. I wish they had more like that.

I wish there was more in game crafting tutorials where they let you experiment with currency.
I also wish there was a cosmetics dressing room.. I think they would make more $$ if they did.

Found 2 Exalts in the Delv.

Traded one for this armor which I felt was a great deal...

Theory of Everything - 98%

I didn't know a whole lot about Stephen Hawking and after watching this I feel there is a ton I don't know... but I do know more and I do have a better appreciation.

Incredibly sad, can't imagine going through what Stephen and Jane went through.
Don't know who is more incredible, Jane or Stephen.

So much that it is hard to believe that it is all true.

Sad that Stephen left Jane.. I feel like there was a lot I don't know about their struggles and if Jane was having a physical affair before that or not.. Tragically sad either way.

Eddie Redmayne did a great job as the actor for Stephen Hawking.

This movie was an enormous undertaking and I think they did the best they could.

The Shining - 90%

Some great classic lines... Here's Johnny!
Now I finally know what Redrum means...

Wendy Torrance (Shelley Duvall) was the best character. Her looks, behavior, nervousness! She made the movie worth watching in my opinion. 

The scene with the blood coming out of the elevator was cool the first time... But not the exact scene repeated three times...

Lots of beautiful Colorado scenery.

The racism with Dick Hallorann was totally unnecessary.
The naked lady from the shower was too much.. Didn't have to go full frontal to get the effect.
The brief shot of guy in the animal outfit was totally unnecessary.

Naruto Shippuden - 99%

I wouldn't have given this such a good score if I had not had the ability to skip all the filler and repeat flashbacks...

The story of Obito was fantastic! The best part of the anime.
His identity and story and being manipulated.
His transformation and how Naruto won him over.

So much great character development with Sasuke, Naruto, and Kakashi!
Great visuals and epic.
The final battle between Naruto and Sasuke was amazing. Surprisingly fast and concise.
The build up to Sasuke's philosophy was great! Sasuke being the last of the Uchiha!
Liked how Sasuke interacted with Sakura.
Itachi was amazing. Nagato was amazing! Fantastic stories, transformations and battles.

Liked how the team got back together for the big fight with Kaguya.
Liked how Naruto and Hinata got married.

The only thing I disliked is the number of repeated flashbacks. It is good to add back story but it just kept repeating the same back stories over and over. Thankfully pretty easy to skip.

Music was great!

Watched on Hulu and followed the filler list.

Extreme Adventure 42969 - 95%

Great set. A little different from most Lego Technic sets...

More detail on stuff like the gas tanks and fire extinguishers

Interesting color scheme

I liked the way the doors opened

The tank treads make it so wide and lean in a little. Would have rather had wheels.

Got it for a great deal - 109.99 from a Black Friday sale at Walmart!
