Dakk Reakts to: Project Hail Mary
That's right folks! Ryan Gosling back with more cinema gold for your daily life and double bonus-- This one is a SCI-FI flick. When I was watching this trailer I got major Interstellar/ The Martian vibes and upon doing research, turns out this is based off a book and the author of that book.....wrote THE MARTIAN (so the vibe check tracks). Apparently this trailer spoils a MAJOR twist of the book so be warned if that's a dealbreaker. I already saw it and found out after the fact but honestly it makes sense because even in my reakt video I said watch THIS be the majority of the movie and the astronaut lost in space trying to save the world is like the first 30mins. ANYWHO, got super excited when I randomly scrolled across this, got double excited when I watched the trailer and now I'm uber excited for this movie next year (why does it have to be so far away)

Ernest is getting a documentary, Know what I mean Vern
Came across this gem of a documentary coming out…… If you grew up in the 80s,90s, and I'd even wager.....the early 2000s then you grew up with this slapstick gem. If you have no idea who this is well, lemme be the one to put you onto an absurd and wholesome gem-- ERNEST P. WORRELL, a wonderfully lighthearted and heartfelt ridiculous character created by Jim Varney. Maybe this documentary will be your introduction into yet another human being we lost FAR too early (F*** you cancer)

Dakk Reakts to: The Schwartz! (Well....with an article at least)
This is too big to be coy about…..or dance around
We are getting a SPACE BALLS sequel!
Seemingly out of friggin NOWHERE this bombshell dropped today and boy the internet isa BUZZING! MY man Mel Brooks is like 98 and still banging em out! It's quite impressive, but not only THAT but RICK MORANIS is coming out of retirement to reprise his role which is freaking uber EPIC. I mean this is just feel-good news in my book, Space Balls has ALWAYS had a special place in my heart, along with MANY Mel Brooks films. I love spoofs, I love Star Wars, I love John Candy, and this movie has all of that and more! I can keepp rambling and talking in circles but the fact of the matter is that it's REALLY happening!This is a tribute to LAIKA, the Brave space pioneer and Sacrificial lamb for Human Innovation
Even though her Launch was in November, I always take a quiet moment to remember Laika and her "sacrifice" for humanity randomly. I saw this post on a facebook page so naturally it drudged up all sorts of feelings on the topic of ethics in science and where to draw the line. This is a prime example of why science needs a leash-- if left unchecked we can rationalize all sorts of horrors for 'THE GREATER GOOD'
It’s been 67 years since she was sent into space. Not many talk about it now, but I think we should. Not because I’m a scientist or anything like that, but because it still matters.... (CONTINUE READING FOR THE ENTIRE QUOTE as well as our tribute to e good doggo)

Feeling Nostalgic, had an itch....decided to Edit old backpacking footage
I don't know what it is lately and I'm not complaining, maybe it's all of the sorting of chaos I've been doing in my head or maybe it's just a sudden strike inspiration. DON'T KNOW, DON'T CARE. I just know that I've been bitten by the creative bug again lately (which feels nice if I'm being honest) and I'm going to let it take me where it needs to go. It's funny, over the last few years I've ben getting bummed about how my artistic eye is dying and how I have writer's block but with the new journey I'm on, time is allowing me to recover and reinvigorate myself.
TLDR: I got inspired last night and started editing two videos, the first one I forgot to save and my editing software FROZE on me, so I lost that (man it was a bummer, I was 3/4 of the way doen and it wasn't half bad imo) BUT I did start on another and that carried me over to this mornign where I finished it up....so here we are...

Interesting ESSAY on a very interesting film. Worth a mention.
Title says it all so don't need to add much. I should mention that I have only seen this movie twice and it wasn't really my cup of tea but lately I've been revisiting films with a less than critical/more philosophical eye so after watching this video I have decided to sit down at some point in the next few weeks and give it a rewatch with this perspective in mind. Life is about growth after all

“Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic, Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm/Human Torch and Ben Grimm/The Thing as they face their most daunting challenge yet.”

I have unofficially dubbed this cluster of First Family specific media my "Multipost of Madness and, If it sticks, this may be a recurring theme in the future for theme specific content (I'm a sucker for a good name too)
I got a small theory about the movie I'd like to lay on the tabler. Well I guess some thoughts technically, it isn't fully formed enough to be considered a theory I suppose. But, uh--yeah... CONTINUE READING for what I got

The Andromeda Paradox (huzzah!)
I love life, the universe and everything. I adore existentialism, cosmology, and meta physics in general. It piques my interests exploring life's greatest mysteries, but for the love of god can we wait until I've had a cup of coffee please.

Dakk's Corner: The Past, The future, and the path forward (Shooting from the hip on my journey)
Hey everybody. Thanks for tuning in as always, I greatly appreciate your time and support, and I am grateful to be still doing what I'm doing. I've been stewing on some thoughts for a while now, and I've been doing some thinking so I decided to come down into the my sanctuary and record a video. So that's all................just some reflecting, from this long haired goofball
