Deadpool 2 - Sunspots, Earthquakes & You

I gotta say. It's a good thing that I didn't watch Deadpool 1 or 2 in the theaters... I laugh at all of the most violent, vile and grotesque death scenes and amputations of generally several limbs.

It's happened before... Getting looks from people because you're laughing when everyone else is cringing, groaning or ducking (hands over the eyes!)

Anyhow, my good friend Mike Fields and his band of merry gore artists did another fantastic job with this one.

Probably these are the best of the Marvel movies and to be totally honest, I was never even a 'Deadpool' fan... As saucy as he might be, Marvel was always pretty wussy.,.. No one died or really got injured for that matter and if they did, well they sure as Hell didn't draw it... So then came along Todd McFarlane, and even his stuff wasn't violent enough...

But actually long before that was greater things in the 'Heavy Metal' magazines of the '70's and '80's.. Now they had some teeth to them, sex AND violence... Then around the time that McFarlane was losing money on his horrible film version of 'Spawn' some great work was coming out in the 'underground' comic scene. Indie comic book companies were starting to break through. They were starting to give consumers what they wanted, the violence, gore and sex they wanted.... But there's not many movies about them...

So I guess we just have to settle with Deadpool, I'm sure Ryan Reynolds pocket book won't mind.

Ugh... Horrible, they just threw some AC/DC in the soundtrack... even worser is that it's a song we covered in Dreamkick.... It is kinda awesome they got Mel-B from the Spice Girls in the movie... I don't think she's been doing much!

Sunspots.. yeah a big one facing our pale blue dot... AND, earthquakes lots of them... Even a 6.1 in Iran just moments ago. Some people believe that sunspots/solar outbursts and earthquakes are friends.
The Sun has had some pretty big spots of late, even though it's just quietly slipped into it's solar 'minimum'... The Sun, isn't a stable glowing ball of light it appears to us here on Earth, it's in fact a roiling boiling ball of confusion... Whoops, sorry, that's an old '80's song, which is a cover of a 1971 song titled 'Ball of Confusion' by the Temptations....
Anyhow, the Sun, goes through decade long (ok, it's 11 years) periods of outbursts and quiet time. We've just entered into an alleged 'quiet time'...erm time... BUT, just because it's in a solar minimum, does NOT mean, it can't have major and minor outbursts... Anyhoo.. In the last month, there's been a LOT of 5.5+ quakes... There's been a lot of 4.0+ quakes, but even more of them have been in the 6.0+ arena.... Alaska, Peru, Oregon, Venezuala (a few times), Vanuatu, Indonesia (several times) and Japan - All in the 'Ring of Fire' (it's not really a 'ring', it's more a squiggly line that goes around the Pacific land masses and islands...

We're, they're WAYYYYY overdue for the 'big one' on our West Coast... It could come anytime... So, be vigilant! Not a vigilante, but vigilant and be prepared.....

Someday, you're Worlds gonna git ROCKED.

Damn no pictures in this blog... Ok, random one coming at you.

It may not be pretty,,,,,,
