Here I am, once again, writing nonsense that nobody will read. That’s fine by me. At this point, it’s more about getting the ideas out of my head than it is about having people read them. I’m going to keep writing whether people read it or not. That’s why I’m not so worried about a set schedule. If I give myself more time to write something I feel comfortable with, that’s better than rushing something out that I don’t like. It’s more of a personal quality thing. And a burnout thing.
Anyway, I thought I’d toss together a quick post about ideas that have been kicking around my head. I am in no way saying that all the ideas are good. They won’t all be ideas that the few people reading my blog would want to read. I may not even write all these ideas. This is simply a case of turning a post into a brainstorming session. Or, at the very least, listing the ideas so I don’t forget about them. There might be ideas that come along before I write some of these in full. I might even scrap some altogether. Who knows what will happen? I sure don’t. The release of posts and the topics I write about now are kind of fluid. So here goes.
Obviously, at some point, I’m going to get back into the Sunday “Bad” Movies posts I spent ten years working on. They won’t be nearly as frequent. They’ll come and go when I feel like writing about them. There could be a new sequel to something I’ve watched that I feel obliged to write about. Like, if they make another God’s Not Dead movie. I’m going to end up writing about that other God’s Not Dead movie. There are a few that I was partially through writing when I came to the full realization that I couldn’t pump out post after post after post, week after week after week. I’ll get those done. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation and The Princess Switch trilogy. Valentine and Ringmaster. I’ll get to those, and I’ll get to others.
On a similar note, I want to keep going with the Amityville movies. I had a series of posts in Sunday “Bad” Movies I wrote about the first fifteen or sixteen of them. Yeah, there were some terrible entries. I still want to see where that series goes. I’ll be doing that at some point. I also want to check out the Puppet Master franchise in full. I watched the first a couple years ago and was saving the rest for later Sunday “Bad” Movies weeks. I’m actually writing that post right now, and I’ll put it up for Sunday “Bad” Movies when it’s done.
Transitioning out of that, I thought I could maybe do a post on the different franchises that Charles Band put out. I’ve seen The Gingerdead Man franchise and most of the Evil Bong franchise. As I just said, I want to check out the rest of the Puppet Master movies. There are also franchises like Killjoys, Trancers, Demonic Toys, and Decadent Evil to check out. Robot Jox and Re-Animator could be thrown in there, too. This one would be a bigger task to get through as there would be so many movies to watch and rewatch. Charles Band has been producing b-movies since before I was born.
Finishing off what people might consider the bad movie stuff, an area I’ve been entrenched in for a decade, I want to take some time to go over my favourite moments from movies people would consider bad. However, I would want to skip over the standard moments that most people know. I wouldn’t cover the “they’re eating her” moment from Troll 2, but I might discuss the popcorn death. “You’re tearing me apart, Lisa” wouldn’t be a feature, but maybe Mike’s facial expressions during the blowjob scene in The Room would be brought up. There would definitely be a mention of “I’m a clone, not a cuck” from Bigfoot vs. Megalodon. I have half an idea here, and would like to flesh it out to more.
The only other movie or television related idea I have right now is one I’m almost assuredly writing next week. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always will be released on Netflix and you bet your bottom I’ll be watching it. I’ll be writing about it. I’m not entirely sure what angle I’ll be coming from for it, but I will absolutely write some sort of post. I’m all about those Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Let’s move away from scripted entertainment with the next few ideas I have. I’ve already written one post about hockey. It had to do with the lack of personality in arenas, as shown on television broadcasts. There are very few things that make one arena stand out from another. I’m not done discussing hockey. My next hockey post will be about the Seattle Kraken making it into the playoffs in their second year, with maybe a sprinkle of how I became a Seattle Kraken fan when I live far away from Seattle. This one is more of a personal post than, say, any of the movie related ideas. It’ll have some stuff about me, a lot about the Kraken, and how I feel about them going into the playoffs. Juicy stuff there. Not really.
Along those lines, I want to write something about collecting hockey cards. This one is a very vague idea. I don’t have any direction for it. I’m a collector but I’m not super hardcore about it. I don’t know what I would really have to say about the topic unless I came to it from a personal side of things. I might have to do that. I don’t know, yet. This could end up being one of the scrapped ideas. Or it could be an idea that comes to fruition further down the line.
That idea is along the same lines as wanting to write about going on hikes. The only way I could possibly pull this one off is to simply write about my experiences. I haven’t gone to as many places as some people. I definitely don’t have the same knowledge as avid hikers and campers. I mostly just hike at a few of the trails around my region. But I still want to write about the experiences that I have had, as semi-casual as they have been. Take from that what you will.
I have two more ideas that I want to run by you and these ideas are kind of out of left field. The first one is that I just want to review all the different flavours of Bubly. I have no reason to want to do this outside of a strange desire to do so. I drink Bubly. I’ve been thinking about what my ranking of flavours would be. Maybe it could make a half decent post. Maybe it could be something to break up the monotony of movie posts. I keep going back to movies because it’s what I know most. It would be nice to have variety, much like the variety of flavours I could be tasting. Not that anyone would care what I think tastes the best out of the ten different Bubly flavours.
And, finally, a much more personal post than most. I’m someone who tends to fall out of touch with people if I’m not seeing them on a regular basis. I don’t really text or email too much and nobody really texts or emails me. It is what it is. But I’ve, within the past few years, reconnected with some of my university friends. I’m thinking that a post, or a few posts, about reconnecting with people might be something interesting. Perhaps. It could, at least, be good for me to write it out. For myself. Just a thought.
That’s what I have for now. These are a few ideas I’ve been mulling over. I have plans for most of these ideas. It’s just a matter of finding the right time to write them. Then edit them. Then release them. It’s a time commitment that I sometimes don’t have, though it always feels good to get to the end of a post. That’s one of the most satisfying feelings I know. Typing that last word, knowing you created something out of nothing. Clicking that button that says “Publish” on Blogger. Now that I’m releasing these whenever I feel ready, as opposed to forcing them out for a certain time, those things might feel even better. Only time will tell. Until then, we can look forward to most of the ideas I just laid out.
