Hard to believe that it has been a while I wrote this blog post since last August. I guess the reason that I hadn't made a blog post is because of my worries that I might be expected to do some personal work whether from George Mason University or from my part-time job which is at the Fairfax County Office of Elections. Or the fact that I didn't make a single post about movies or what not because I was completely hurt by almost some, if not many of the so-called blockbuster movies that absolutely tainted our initial expectations and suffered a horrible franchise fatigue curse like most other films have, which are Transformers: The Last Knight, Zack Snyder/Joss Whedon's Justice League, and last but not least Star Wars: The Last Jedi. To think that I've been experiencing so many changes when it comes to turning age 25 and beyond. So maybe it's about time I highlight some of the important stuff that's been going on lately until now.
Due to the box office underperformance of last summer's Transformers 5 and the supposed cancellation of a direct follow-up, I've been attempting to sever ties between TF 1-3 and 4-5 by reorganizing my toys and getting rid of anything that has to do with both Age of Extinction and The Last Knight. Still wonder if the upcoming Bumblebee movie will make a difference.
Watching Avengers: Infinity War really struck me, the moment Thanos snapped his fingers after successfully collecting ALL 6 Infinity Stones!
I have gained some positive respect from my former Package Design teacher Prof. Hicks after successfully completing my Senior Design Project book "Different, Not Less: My Life with Autism."
My family and I have traveled to Rome, Italy and went on a Greek Isles Cruise trip to European countries like Sicily, Santorini, Mykonos, and Athens! We certainly had a fun international trip when Christine's friend Erica was around!
Solo is now the first box office flop in Star Wars history as if The Last Jedi's disastrous fan reactions aren't enough to stain the franchise! Maybe next year's Episode 9 will be even worse?
It looks as though Disney really IS going to buy Fox, at least until by early next year. Though that kind of deal might spell an end to some franchises that I know I doubt Disney would bother trying to tackle on (Alien, Predator, any franchise that feels "not safe for kids").
My sister Christine now lives in an apartment in Cleveland, Ohio.
Just when Ben Affleck's falling out as Batman isn't bad enough, rumor has it that Henry Cavill will officially STEP DOWN AS SUPERMAN! And because of that, anything that has Zack Snyder's hands all over will be completely ignored in the DC Extended Universe in the wake of Justice League's box office failure! Talk about wasted potential!
So there we have it. A breakdown of what life has been like for me during the past 8 months in 2018. But should I either not plan on writing a blog post that may probably need to be more than mostly about movies or that I forgot to do so because I was busy with other things that are more professional than this, then this could be my very last blog post I have written since I first started this blog site back in NOVA's Computer Graphic Design class in Fall 2012.
