Ridiculous (And I Love It)

 



So almost a week ago, I went to see The Fall Guy with my dad. Loosely based on the TV show of the same name, Colt Seavers is a stuntman who suffered a nasty accident resulting in him quitting. He returns a little over a year later when his girlfriend directs her first movie, only to find himself at the center of a conspiracy. 

This movie was HILARIOUS from start to finish. It's nothing amazing plot-wise and according to my dad it is a departure from the original series (I've never seen it, so I don't know, or care). But the movie wasn't really made to be serious, it was made to be fun, and that is exactly what it was. I'm strangely developing an application for Ryan Gosling (not that I hated him or anything, I just never really cared for him). He was awesome (his character really needs a vacation though) and his chemistry with Emily Blunt (whom I've always loved) was perfect. Basically the whole surprisingly small cast stood out in their own way. We got a cameo appearance from the original "Fall Guy" Lee Majors, which was a very nice touch

I like that the movie pays tribute to the stunt-doubles in the industry. And considering all the crazy things they have to due, they deserve all the credit they can get. The stunts in the movie themselves were some of the craziest I've ever seen in a movie and it's INSANE that people get paid to nearly kill themselves (Hell, some of them actually have). So if there's any group of people in the film industry that really deserve to be recognized (and need a vacation), it's stunt doubles.       

I do highly recommend this movie if you're looking for a good time. Thanks For Reading

American Idol 2025 Thoughts: Day 1

  American Idol  has officially reached its live shows so that means it's time to start the commentaries. For those of you who didn't track these last year, here's an explanation; I will be saying my thoughts on the contestants and their performances. In typical 'me' fashion, I will rank each performance to #1. But unlike my normal lists, this will be from worst to best.  This will be starting the following week as today is just an introduction. Our Top 24 has been chosen and they are as follows;     Canaan James Hill (Platinum)             Gabby Simone  Zaylie Windsor                         Mattie Pruitt  Thunderstorm Artis                  Drew Ryn  Che                                     ...

Introduction

Bio My name is Naomi Marie Elidios Chadwick. I was born in San Diego, California, but I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I pretty much have a traditional family, which involves happily married parents, 1 younger sister, and an older brother. I was raised Christian, and I continue to practice Christianity to this day. This is not a spiritual blog but some of the content that I post is influenced by my faith. Every now and then I will post Christian content as well, just not always (except with Billboard ). The picture you see up above is me at the airport with my father after I graduated from AmeriCorps NCCC after 10 months of community service. In response I received a congressional award for community service. I've always been really proud of that. I was diagnosed with Asperger's (a form of Autism) around the age of 6, but I was not informed of my diagnosis until I was 12. I'm very into movies and television (animation especially), and pop culture as a whole, and I...

What The Hell Did I Even Watch!?!🤣

I think ever since Lady Gaga's performance in A Star Is Born , musicians have been trying to jump in on the band wagon. The Weekend is one of those musicians who's trying, and failing miserably. First he tried with The Idol , and we all saw how that crashed and burned. And now he decided to turn his newest album Hurry Up Tomorrow into a movie, where he plays a fictionalized version of himself. Oh yeah, Jenna Ortega and  Barry Keoghan are in this too.  The Weekend is obviously on this vendetta to prove to people that he can act, and it's getting kind of pathetic. The movie is just.....not good.  There's barely even a plot, it's just an elongated music video that involves The Weekend crying too much. Now, I will give him some credit for actually trying this time (unlike in The Idol ). But unfortunately, instead of coming off as a troubled musician, this felt like I was watching one of the 3-5 year-olds my mom deals with at her job. I'm aware that this movie was in...
