Okay! Time for some fun tonight! Live Tweet, Screenshot Free Commentary Session for the movie "Children of the Sea". Sorry for the lack of screenshots, but it's Blu-Ray and getting screenshots is like pulling teeth.

...trust me on this one. #ChildrenOfTheSea
Oooooookay, this movie is bringing the big water visuals from the JUMP. It looks beautiful!

Watch out "Nagi no Asukara", "Children of the Sea" is coming for your wig. #ChildrenOfTheSea
Our female lead is a bit of a showoff it seems.

...and she also seems to be a bit of a hot-head too. Sometimes that's not a bad thing, but, Ruka, girl, you nearly broke #13's nose! #ChildrenOftheSea
Ruka, sweetie, first rule in sports--AVOID FRIENDLY FIRE!! #ChildrenOfTheSea
Come on Ruka--summer break just started--I'm sure you can get in plenty of shenanagins over the summer. #ChildrenOfTheSea
Why do I have a feeling that I'll really want to take a trip to the Aquarium of the Americas by the time this film is done?

Seriously, the tickets are expensive, but it's SO COOL!! #ChildrenOfTheSea
"Is summer break a vacation in the summer?"

Umm...yeah, my dude. You got the concept down.

Also, maybe it's just me, but I love seeing dark skinned characters in anime! #ChildrenOfTheSea
This was the scene that actually got me interested in the movie; Umi and Ruka's first meeting.

I heard about the manga, but never got around to reading it...But when I saw this beautiful scene, I knew I wanted to watch it. #ChildrenOfTheSea
Love how dad was just so chill about Umi.

"Yeah, that kid? Swimming around in the tank? He was raised by dugongs." #ChildrenOfTheSea
I found it funny that dugongs and manatees were inspiration for stories about mermaids.

...don't get me wrong, those are beautiful animals, but you must be a special kind of lonely if you can look at a manatee and think "half girl half fish". #ChildrenOfTheSea
"His skin is extremely sensitive to dryness."

Cocoa Butter can fix that. Just saying.

And I'm guessing Ruka does not have the best of relationships with her mother...and her mother doesn't have the best of livers judging by the beer cans. #ChildrenOfTheSea
Ruka, sweetie, it's been two days--please put something on that knee! #ChildrenOfTheSea
HAHA!! Ruka put Umi in the class sink to get rehydrated! Nice one!

NagiAsu did something similar with the Sea-Based Characters...they need to rehydrate their Ena or else they would lose it. #ChildrenOftheSea
...not sure how wise of an idea it is riding a bike out in a storm this bad, but okay...

...oh wait, nevermind. Storm is over. Carry on Ruka. #ChildrenOftheSea
WHOA!!! Old man got tats!!! #ChildrenoftheSea
So, that's Umi's bro Sora.

...little pale there, bro...#ChildrenOfTheSea
"You are so boring."

...well dang dude. #ChildrenOfTheSea
WOW...Sora kinda jelly that Umi is showing Ruka some attention. Calm down my dude...and get some sun. #ChildrenOfTheSea
"False Killer Whales"

Is that a thing? #ChildrenOfTheSea
...Charming woman, Ruka's mom. #ChildrenOfTheSea
So they just straight up stole a boat.

...And Sora doesn't know how to drive said boat.

This reminds me of that Lost Episode of Pokemon! #ChildrenOfTheSea
...Charming boy, Sora. #ChildrenOfTheSea
Mysterious Whale Song...
Meteors crashing to Earth...

...kinda getting some Star Trek 4 Vibes...#ChildrenOfTheSea
WHOA!!!!!! That's a lot of dead fish.

...my cajun heart weeps. #ChildrenOfTheSea
Dear Japan,

When someone needs CPR, you don't IMMEDIATELY have to jump in and do Mouth-to-Mouth Resuscitation. Chest Compressions are a thing too!

Also, in a life or death situation, worry about kissing later! #ChildrenOfTheSea
Maybe I'm crazy, but I have a feeling that Steve Irwin, rest his soul, would like this movie. #ChildrenOfTheSea
Why is it that bad guys always discuss their corrupt plans in dark shadowy rooms? What happened to the good old James Bond days with the big elaborate meeting rooms? #ChildrenOfTheSea
Funny, I would've thought Sora and Umi were vegetarians...or at the very least, they wouldn't eat anything from the sea. #ChildrenOfTheSea
...that lobster looks so freaking good...#ChildrenOfTheSea
Interesting...Sora takes Ruka's hand and pulls her along just like Umi did. And now he's showing her how to REALLY swim. Methinks he's warming up to her. #ChildrenoftheSea
WHOA!!! WHOA WHOA WHOA!! HOLD UP!!! WHOA!!!!! BACK THE TRAIN UP INTO THE STATION!!!

Sora just...Sora just flat out kissed Ruka!!

Oh, wait...he just gave Ruka the meteorite.

BUT STILL THOUGH!!! What the heck?! WARN SOMEBODY SORA! #ChildrenoftheSea
WHOA CRAP!!! So...is Sora gone? I think Sora is gone...he was really weak, and he entrusted Ruka with the meteorite...

Weird.

...and now Umi thinks he's a dolphin and won't speak.

MMKAY...#ChildrenoftheSea
You know, this show is giving me NagiAsu vibes, but it's also giving me Mushi-shi vibes...especially with this whole idea of human beings and nature living together and trying to find a balance. #ChildrenoftheSea
"ADMIRAL! THERE BE WHALES HERE!!!!"

...sorry...Couldn't help it. #ChildrenOfTheSea
Someone help me out here--are False Killer Whales real? #ChildrenoftheSea
Dang...

I know there are some fishermen in Louisiana that are probably really confused and sad right about now...looks like every single fish in the ocean is going to the Birth Festival.

...Birth Festival. There's a concept. #ChildrenOfTheSea
"Wait...which world does Umi belong in?"

*wave washes both of them away into the sea*

...Welp, there's your answer baby girl. #ChildrenoftheSea
You know, I kinda understand what this movie is trying to tell me, but I kinda don't, if that makes any sense. #ChildrenOfTheSea
....mmmmmmkay...I'm lost now. I'm very lost. This is BEAUTIFUL to watch, but I'm really lost as to what's going on...#ChildrenoftheSea
"Outer Space and Humanity are Similar"

...give or take a couple galaxies and super novas.

Some people are big gas giants. #ChildrenOfTheSea
Swimming amongst the galaxies, Ruki and Umi have to say goodbye. Japan, you done it again. #ChildrenoftheSea
"And that's everything that happened on my Summer Break."

Imagine being the teacher reading this essay. "Umm, Ruki, we need to have a talk about drug usage." #ChildrenoftheSea
And that's the end of #ChildrenoftheSea. Final Thoughts?

This is one of those gorgeous "What the heck did I just watch" films. I think I got the gist of what was going on...but I feel like I was missing so much. It's a good movie that requires multiple viewings I guess.
I went into this one thinking this was going to be similar to NagiAsu, and in some way it is, but own the whole, this film is it's own creation--it's own crazy, confusing animal. Would I watch it again? Maybe. But probably not, unless I watched it with somebody. #ChildrenoftheSea
I thought so! We get an epilogue!

Oh, looks like Ruka's mom and dad got back together...and it looks like Ruka got a new little sibling too. #ChildrenoftheSea

Okay, since I was out all day, I wasn't able to offer up any commentary on some of the earlier football games! So, because I love you all so much, I now provide you with an NFL Anime Reaction Thread! Let's get this party started! Image
Chicago Bears: 30
Atlanta Falcons: 26

...not going to say a word. Not a single solitary word.

Nope. None of my business. Uh-Uh. Not going to say a word.

This is just becoming tradition now, isn't it? Who am I to speak against tradition? Image
Buffalo Bills: 35
Los Angeles Rams: 32

Congrats to @Billsfan1991DMP for this one and thank you for beating the Rams. Yes, I still have a sore spot after that NFC Championship game. But you guys deserved that win. Image

Hey guys. I'm not off duty from work just yet, but I felt guided to do this. There's a lot of sadness and darkness floating around right now and typically I ask at night if anyone needs prayer before I go to bed.

Tonight, I think we could all do with a little.
I know there are some on my page that have different faiths and beliefs, and if what I'm about to do is in anyway offensive, I'm so sorry. But right now, I think we need this. So please bear with me.
Our Father.

As we come to You today, we thank You. We thank You for our health, we thank You for our families, we thank You for what You are to us. We are of many faiths and beliefs, and we call You by many names, but we all know that You are the Alpha and the Omega of our lives

So, it looks like the Browns beat the Bengals. Nice.

So does that mean people can finally stop talking about Baker Mayfield's commercials?

Seriously, every sports commentator feels the need to comment on his commercials. Let that man make his money. Ya'll would do the same.
These different companies are offering him money and he's taking it, like anyone else would. He's not going to THEM, THEY are going to HIM. Football doesn't last always. He's securing his own investment for the future should anything happen. I don't fault him for that at all.
It just drives me nuts whenever I hear a commentator talk about "Oh, but he's out there doing commercials for Progressive..." like he's out there begging for them to put him in ads.

Last I checked, Progressive sought HIM out. And they keep seeking HIM out.

As Promised, An Angry Black Man Rant regarding Skip "Shut Up And Play Football Nobody Cares About Your Feelings" Bayless and Dak Prescott.

I'm doing this in Thread Format, so please forgive in advance for the blast of tweets that is about to hit your timelines.

It's worth it.
So, in case you didn't know...

Dak Prescott is the QB (Quarterback) for the Dallas Cowboys, a team that has called itself "America's Team". Remember this, as it will come into play later.

Early this year, Dak lost his brother to suicide; a tragic situation.
Recently, Dak admitted in an interview that the suicide, plus the issues surrounding COVID-19, left him with feelings of depression and anxiety to the point where he didn't want to do anything. Feelings that, I'm sure, we ALL have come to experience.

Lord knows I have. Image

You know...if I were to grade this, I would have to give it a solid...C+.

This is a very interesting idea--a different take of the Boiled Seafood Pot but using butter...And I like the crusty bread for dipping. But I think this is just a little TOO MUCH butter.
MAYBE if they added more seafood to the mix like a couple chunks of lobster meat or crab meat, it would be better, but this just seems like overkill. Also, the buttery sausage? MEH.

I've said this time and time again--if you season the water, you won't have to add extra on top.
I probably would've par boiled the corn, potatoes and shrimp in their own seasoned water before adding them to the butter pot. That way, they can season the butter.

Also, that's all the garlic they're adding? Really? That much butter, and that little garlic? No onions either?

THIS Is what I'm scared of this election cycle.

Look, if you don't like Joe Biden, I understand that. I empathize with you. But now is NOT the time to have this "they're both bad so I'm not voting" mentality.

Voting for Biden means voting for at least 2 SCOTUS appointments.
You feel that Joe Biden is evil? Okay. Fine.

Guess what's even more evil?

A Supreme Court rolling back Roe vs. Wade, Brown vs. Board of Education, same sex marriage rights, healthcare, and the list goes on.

Use your HEAD guys. Get off your soapboxes and do what is RIGHT.
Quit acting like you're taking some sort of moral stance when in reality, you're taking the stance of a spoiled child.

"If I can't have what I want, then I don't want anything at all, and to hell with what anyone else wants or needs."

You're becoming what you hate.
