Men in Black

-
So...the 1969 Mets were a plot point in the third Men in Black movie.  Remember, it’s July 1969, Griffin takes off to escape Boris the Animal, but drops clues about where he’d be found?  He uses words like “amazing” and “miracle”.  Agents K and J can’t figure it out until they overhear two Mets fans moaning about how lousy the team is...Mets fans were quick to figure out the Men in Black were headed to Shea Stadium ...

I loved that movie.


Last night we saw Men in Black International.

 Fun movie, it had sort of an “Indiana Jones meets James Bond” vibe.  A young girl named Molly has an encounter with an alien, a somehow the Men in Black don’t wipe her memory of the event.  She grows up wanting to join the Men in  Black ... for her first mission, Agent M is sent to London and paired with Agent H. Together they must save the world from alien invasion.

I missed the interaction of Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, but Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson have a different sort of chemistry.

Favorite moment of the movie ... an “Easter egg” in a fight scene.   Hemsworth  picks up a small hammer and throws it at an adversary ...

    So, lots of Thor stuff. I haven't seen any of the Marvel movies. Nor did I see MIB 3 because I just couldn't get into MIB2 (I loved the original MIB.) So...will all the jokes be lost on me if I go and see this? Thank you for the heads...or hammer..up. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

    I was shocked that they were making another. Haven't heard good reviews on this one, though. I may check it out anyway.

    Just the one Thor joke. The movie assumes you saw the original MIB but doesn't assume you saw the sequels.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
