John Wick 3, the third film in the greatest cinematic trilogy of all time, begins filming next month in Montreal. I must admit, I’m almost uncontrollably fucking stoked for this movie.

Let’s all do a celebratory jig for the arrival of Spring Break tomorrow! Oh, you’re not partaking? Well, shake your ass anyways. As Freddy Nietzsche said, “we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once”, ya feel? Anyways, this is a lot of padding before an underwhelming Desktop Thursdays! I don’t take many photos lately, namely because my phone is a shattered collection of glass and guts masquerading as an iPhone 6. Camera is juddery as fuck!

But, enjoy the photos below! Of my desktop(s), my doggo, and a glorious chocolate lab we babysat last week! Then, share your own existences in the comments section. Allons-y!

Rob Liefeld is my favorite comic book golden retriever. Infinitely derpy, infinitely excitable, seems to really mean well. While I didn’t really fuck with his work under his Extreme label, creators such as Brandon Graham and Alan Moore did bring some legit work to the universe. So with that said, sure, let’s see what Liefeld and Netflix can conjure up.

Last year was the first time since 2008 that I didn’t buy the annual Call of Duty refried beans platter. This year though, with the release of Black Ops 4, I’ll probably be falling back in line.

Wait, what the fuck is going on. Am I seriously getting roped into being excited for Terminator 6? God dammit. But, what else should I do? Be skeptical! Oh, I could be. But, the cast! Arnold and Hamilton returning! With Mackenzie Davis joining! And, the director! Tim Miller! Fuck it, why not be excited. I can always be let down in the end. Right?

I loved The Division when it dropped. Unfortunately like many, I checked out when I hit the then-flimsy endgame. It’s true that Ubisoft bolstered the fuck out of the content and updated it into a very fun game. However, by the time I was convinced to check it out again, I was lost in the multitude of changes. So, I’m particularly stoked about The Division 2.

Jon Favreau is making a Star Wars live-action TV show for Disney! Which means, it’s probably going to be at least watchable! Which means, I’m going to have Bateman fire-up the ole torrent engine when it drops. ‘Cause I sure ain’t subscribing to yet another streaming service.

What’s a movie featuring Iron Man, without new abilities for his suit? Especially a movie as epic as Infinity War? Why, no fucking movie at all! Fans have been speculating about the newest round of Iron Man abilities since the trailer dropped, and, well, they were right.

After the jump for a look, and specific details! ‘Cause, spoilers! “Spoilers”, really.

How are you folks doing? I know it’s been quiet around here. Sure, there’s the occasional pop-culture kernel that I’m interested in enough to share. As well, there’s the Facebook page, which seems to have struck ground as an enjoyable repository for said kernels and infinite memes. And finally, yeah, we do stream every weekend on Twitch. But around here, man. The hub. It’s been quiet. At first, I wasn’t sure why it was so hard to maintain the grease on the perpetual-engine at the center of the Space-Ship Omega, but then I remembered.

We’re all just sort of busy.

Rendar’s got two jobs. Bateman’s got, I’m not really sure how many jobs. I oscillate between teaching four classes and one class depending on the semester, and I’m always tutoring 30+ students a week. Compliment that with a commute which is generally one-and-a-half-hours each way every day, and well. I’m fucking tired, man.

All of this is a meandering preamble to serve as both an acknowledgement that it’s quiet around here, an apology for said quiet, a paean for the older days, a notice that I miss you folks, and a reasoning for why things can get so quiet.

I hope you’re well. I hope you’re still here, even if you’re lurking. And if you’re not, eh, I can’t blame you. Entropy claims everything.

But, I’m here now, dudes! I’m here now, with yet another tardy Monday Morning Commute. It’s the gabfest where I share what I’m looking forward to in a given week! So, without further ado, here’s what I’m sweating!

I hope you’ll join me in the comments section!
