Time for me to say hello and check on each and everyone of you. Make sure you all doing okay. I know we worry about stuff and it can be at times crippling. We are not alone. We are all in this together, just at different depths. God lives in this world and we are not forsaken. We see a chunk of life but not the whole picture. By reacting in a positive beat is which shows God is reaching out. Through each of us as we are kind; forgiving; loving; hopeful; merciful and accepting, we show God exists to another. We see a chance and hold it until it grows. Let’s hold onto each other. Not sub divide away m. Draw from each other that good that God lit. At the heart we find Christ and he shows the way. Listen for it.

I came up with fifty solo names in the music biz and attempted to name two songs for each. Not as easy as I thought. Limited down to two or thinking of two to start with is a challenge I tripped and fell down the stairs with more then a few times during this exercise. Enjoy. Yes, I was bored. 50.

A show of hands, who likes tons of sequels? Anyone? No one? Okay anyway. Some franchises go waaaaay to long losing the story that began the franchise. More like a serial so to speak. Day in the life with merely the title connecting the other movies. In fact, many on this list have separate titles. even the one numbered, could easily have the numbers removed or replaced with new titles. New characters; new direction and confusion. I have taken ten well known franchises and chopped out the side quests to stay focused in one direction. You are welcome. 1) STAR TREK 'Star Trek II': 'The Wrath Of Khan' (1982); 'Star Trek III: Search For Spock' (1984); 'Star Trek IV: Voyage Home' (1986) and 'Star Trek VI: Undiscovered Country' (1991) Omitted Sequels : 'Star Trek' (1979); 'Star Trek V: Final Frontier' (1989). First one was slow but good. Stand alone pretty. The fifth one was silly and lacked production value. Story: An aging Captain and his crew facing an ever changing Universe that forces them to push back with ever ending obstacles of life; death and acceptance. 2) STAR WARS 'Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith' (2005); 'Star Wars: A New Hope' (1977); 'Star Wars: Empire Strike Back' (1980); 'Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi' (1983) Omitted Sequels: 'Star Wars Episode 1: Phantom Menace' (1999); 'Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones' (2002). Tedious storytelling with a lot of padding. Episode filled everything the audience needed to know to go forward without the other two. Story: Decent and redemption of Anakin Skywalker as the Galaxy burns and rebuilds as his children rise. 3) BATMAN 'Batman' (1989): 'Batman Returns' (1992): 'Batman Forever' (1995) Omitted Sequels: 'Batman and Robin'. It was too silly and did not connect to the three previous films. Story: The burden of Bruce Wayne as he embraces the tragedy and triumph of Batman. 4) SUPERMAN 'Superman' (1978); 'Superman 2' (1980) and 'Superman Returns' (2006) Omitted Sequels: 'Superman 3' (1983) and Superman 4: The Quest For Peace' (1987). Both dealt too much in padding and comedy. Barely coherent. Story: Stranger in a strange land. 5) TERMINATOR 'Terminator: Salvation' (2009); 'Terminator' (1984); 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' (- the alternate ending 1991) Omitted Sequels: ' Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines' (2003), Terminator Genisys (2015), and Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) were all attempts to reboot the franchise with diminishing results. Story : Time can be rewritten. 6) ROCKY 'Rocky' (1976); 'Rocky II' (1979); 'Rocky III' (1982) and 'Rocky Balboa' (2006) Omitted Sequels: 'Rocky IV (1985) and 'Rocky V' (1990). Propaganda and an attempt to go back to basics in a really convoluted way. Story: A Boxer goes the distance to find what is more valuable then glory, love. 7) RAMBO 'Rambo: First Blood' (1982); 'John Rambo' (2008); 'Rambo: Last Blood' (2019) Omitted Sequels: 'Rambo 2' (1985) and 'Rambo 3' (1988). These two films remade Rambo from a Vietnam vet who was suffering PTSD, to action hero globe trotting to right wrongs. Doesn't work as part of this narrative. Story: A Vietnam Vet goes to prison for launching a war in a small town and its sheriff. Upon his release, tries to rebuild his life and lay to rest old wounds. 8) THE KARATE KID 'The Karate Kid' (1984) and 'The Karate Kid part 2' (1986) Omitted Sequels: 'The Karate Kid' part 3' (1989). Tried to recapture the success of the first but was a bad imitation. 'The Next Karate Kid' (1994) and 'Karate Kid' (aka 'Kung Fu Kid' 2010) were simply reboots. Story: An outsider challenges the norm to prove himself through Karate and help from his teacher. 9) THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS 'The Fast and the Furious' (2001); '2 Fast and 2 Furious' (2003); 'Fast and Furious (2009) and Fast Five' (2011) Omitted Sequels: 'The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift' (2006); 'Fast & Furious 6' (2013): 'Furious 7' (2015); 'The Fate of the Furious' (2017); 'F9' (2021); 'Fast X' (2023). The franchise became much more spy type stuff that felt it should be a entire separate franchise. Story: Street racers and car thieves that fight to escape this crime world as a makeshift family. 10) MEET THE… 'Meet The Parents' (2000) and 'Meet The Fockers' (2004) Omitted Sequels: 'Little Fockers' was boring and lacked the charm of the first two. No longer dealing with weird in laws as much as everyday miscommunications. Story: The weirdness of family on the left and the right. 11) THE GHOSTBUSTERS ' The Ghostbusters' (1984); 'The Ghostbusters' (1989) and 'Ghostbusters: After Life' (2021) Omitted Sequels:   'The Ghostbusters' (2016)' and 'The Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' (2024).One was a reboot that failed and the other was a continuation of 'Afterlife' but a reboot inside of that sequel, kind of. Story: Who Are You Gonna Call? Got to get rid of all those Ghosts. 12) TRANSFORMERS 'Transformers: One' (2024); 'Transformers: Bumblebee' (2018); 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts' (2023); 'The Transformers The Movie' (1986) Omitted Sequels:   'The Transformers' (2007); 'The Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' (2009); 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' (2011); 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' (2014); 'The Transformers: The Last Knight' (2017). These films were loosely connected but felt like reboots each time with changes in the stories that seem more episodic then one continuing story. Story: The rise of The Transformers of Cybertron that evolved into a war against their creator; themselves and mere survival against the odds. 13) HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA   'Hotel Transylvania' (2012); Hotel Transylvania 2' (2015); 'Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation' (2018) Omitted Sequels:   Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (2022) was direct to video and felt more like TV pilot then a continuation of a long term franchise. Story: The evolution of Dracula, from being hateful of outsiders to accepting them into his life as daughter, Mavis, marries one. Talk of a blended family. 14) DESPICABLE ME   'Despicable Me' (2010); Despicable Me 2' (2013); Despicable Me 4' (2024) Omitted Sequels:   'Despicable Me' 3 (2017) felt like a start of a new fraction by introducing Gru's ,long lost Twin Brother, Dru. Story: Gru was the greatest criminal in the world until he adopted three girls; turned good; becomes a secret agent; marries a fellow spy and has a son. 15) MADAGASCAR   'Madagascar' (2005); 'Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) Omitted Sequels:   'Madagascar 3: Europes' Most Wanted' (2012). Seemed taked on and unnecessary. Story: Alex the Lion; Marty the Zebra; Melman the giraffe and Gloria the Hippo find their lives turned upside down as Marty wanted more then living a New York Zoo. A misunderstanding at a bus station causes them to wind in Madagascar. From there Africa and seemly a good ending. 16) HIGHLANDER 'Highlander' (1986) and 'Highlander: Endgame' (2000) Omitted Sequels:  'Highlander 2: The Quickening' (1991); 'Highlander 3: Final Dimension' (1994); 'Highlander: The Source' (2007). These films tried to change the focus of the original film. It was no longer mere fantasy but was tried to be retooled as sci-fi and was disjointed to the point it felt limke diferent franchises. Story: They are Immortal and can live for centuries. Never aging or dying except one way. A beheading.It 's the time of the 'Gathering'. With a stroke of a sword and the drop of a head, comes the quickening. In the end, there can be only one. 17) TOY STORY   'Toy Story' (1995); 'Toy Story 3' (2010) and 'Toy Story 4' (2019) Omitted Sequels:   'Toy Story 2' (1999) was, again, a side story that really adds nothing to the narrative. Story: Life changes and even toys grow up along with their owners. Espeically if you are Buzz Lightyear and Woody. 18) NEVERENDING STORY   'The Neverending Story' (1984); 'The Neverending Story' (1990) Omitted Sequels:  'The Neverending Story 3' (1994) was a low budget poorly done ignoring the last two films with a paper thin plot that was divorce of any real fantasy element that made the first two memorable. Story: The Book of The Neverending Story. The world of Fantasia and how it forever connected to Bastion Balbazar Bucks as two realities meet. 19) SHREK   'Shrek' (2001); Shrek 2' (2004) and 'Shrek The Third' (2007) Omitted Sequels:  'Shrek Ever After' (2010) is the odd one out fourth film. It was more stand alone that takes it's cues from 'It's A Wonderful Life'. A world without Shrek as he feels that his life is too burden. Story: The story of mean old Shrek the ogre as he wins the girl; proves his worth as a hero and learns how accept change. 20)   THE HOBBIT 'The Hobbit' (1977); 'The Return of the King' (1980) Omitted Sequels:  'Lord of the Rings(1978) was made by a different production company and was focused mainly on a fellowship  to destroy a ring made by the Dark Lord Sauron . This film was developed as more of a stand alone as 'Return of the King' was treated as a direct sequel to 'The Hobbit'. This in spite of 'Lord of the Rings' came in between the two Rankin/Bass films. Story: The legacy of the Ring of Power. Once used for good by Bilbo Baggins, and now it ruination has found nephew, Frodo Baggins. In the wars that rage this ring must be destroyed. .

Garry Marshall was probably one of the best film makers in my opinion. He had a incredible knack of casting the right people; playing the right and developing character. You wanted to care about these people. You wanted to see them win. Full three dimensions flushed out with human skin. Easily relatable in most cases. Ironically, Marshall only would be behind the camera for about twenty two films. Honestly, he was better known as an actor of Television and film. Quite funny in fact. 10. ‘Dear God’ - 1996 Con man working at a post office answering letters sent to God. 9.

A cheated out of his money carpenter decide to teach her humility by pretending that they are married. In time, she learns the truth but becomes a better person and real love grows. 4. ‘Georgia Rules’ - 2007 Damaged teenager goes to,live with Grandmother, and learns to face the truth regarding abuse at the hands of her step father. 3. ‘Runaway Bride’ - 1999 Reporter wants to fix his reputation by writing a story about a small town woman who has a reputation of ditching her fiancees at the altar.

There is a good in him but lacks people skills which he finds along the way. 1. ‘The Other Sister’ - 1996 Carla is the youngest of three daughters to a wealthy family. Her mom does not know how to relate to her as Carla is mentally disabled, spending her younger days in an institution. Carla's older sister is gay trying to find acceptance from their mother and the middle child is spoiled rotten. The truth is that the daughter with the disabilities is actually better adjusted to the world then her family.

In 1994, I was not particularly happy about the news of ‘Batman 3’. Michael Keaton choosing not to do the third installment of the franchise. He had defined the film adaptation of the character. 'Batman' (1989) was great and 'Batman Returns' (1992) was okay but too violent in my regards. I was doubtful that Val Kilmer was going to be able to fill those shoes. He was great in ‘Top Gun’; ‘Tombstone’; ‘The Doors’, but this was different. This was BATMAN!! Batman is larger then life. When I saw Kilmer in the role, I was not expecting much. The promos looked good but ads can be misleading. I was wrong. ‘Batman Forever’ (1995) was awesome and Kilmer was great. More like the comic book version of The Dark Knight. Not Keaton but that was okay. A Batman who questioned if he needed to walk away. A Batman that needed help. Not sure who he was anymore still burdened by the memories of his parent's death. A Batman that found himself beyond the struggles. Not angry driven but purpose. Contemplative of the obstacles round him. Showing vulnerability. So layered. Still a favorite. Loved the costume, except for the biological accuracy and world building was fun. I am sorry to see that Kilmer has gone home to God. I was glad having him around. He fought throat cancer for over a decade, never falling to defeat. Free now of pain and with God. Cannot think of a bad role he had. A style and charisma rarely seen. He lived his faith. He was a fantastic performer and you believed in him. Rest in God. May peace be with your family. And may you be remembered as Batman…Forever

I loved two of the four Batman films. 'Batman' and 'Batman Forever' are awesome. True to the comic lore. 'Batman Returns' is good but disjointed. 'Batman and Robin' is...weird. More cartoony then anything else, I guess. These are my favorite lines from My favorite two films. The first had a lot more memorable lines in my opinion. 10. 'For if knowledge is power, then a god am... I!' - Riddler to Batman ('Batman Forever' 1995) 9. 'Now comes the part where I relieve you, the little people, of the burden of your failed and useless lives. But, as my plastic surgeon always said: if you gotta go, go with a smile.' - Joker to Gotham ('Batman' 1989) 8. 'Winged freak terrorizes? Wait till they get a load of me!' -  Joker talks to Himself ('Batman' 1989) 7. 'I made you, you made me first.- Batman to Joker ('Batman' 1989) 6. 'Poor Edward. I had to save them both. You see, I'm both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Not because I have to be. Now... because I choose to be.' - Batman to Riddler ('Batman Forever' 1995) 5. ‘Tell me something, my friend. You ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?’ – Joker to Bruce Wayne (‘Batman’ 1989) 4. ‘One man is born a hero, his brother a coward. Babies starve, politicians grow fat. Holy men are martyred, and junkies grow legion. Why? Why, why, why, why, why? Luck! Blind, stupid, simple, doo-dah, clueless luck!’ – Two Face to a Bank Guard (‘Batman Forever’ 1995) 3. ‘Broken wings mend in time. One day Robin will fly again. I promise.’ – Alfred to Dick in (‘Batman Forever’ 1995) 2. ‘Then it will happen this way: You make the kill, but your pain doesn't die with Harvey, it grows. So you run out into the night to find another face, and another, and another, until one terrible morning you wake up and realize that revenge has become your whole life. And you won't know why.’ – Bruce to Dick in (‘Batman Forever’ 1995) 1. 'I have no wish to fill my few remaining years grieving for the loss of old friends. Or their sons'. - Alfred Pennyworth 'Batman' (1989)

I love the double act. Who doesn’t? Either you have the polar opposites; the voice of caution to the reckless mover or you have the sidekick backing up the lead. And sometimes you have all three randomly happening. A infinite amount of possibilities. 20. SYLVESTER AND TWEETY Tweety is the cute defenseless looking bird who is always on the menu for black cat, Sylvester. Sadly for the feline, Tweety bird is very clever if not resourceful. It is always the short cute one you got to be careful of.  Again, cannot help but respect the never quit attitude on Sylvester's part. Dude, learn from experience. Buy canned cause you are never getting that bird. 19. WILE E. COYOTE AND THE ROAD RUNNER What would one do for a meal? Asked Wile E. Coyote that question. He keeps running about the dessert trying to catch a Roadrunner. Apparently the Coyote has a credit line with a company called, ACME, where he purchases various contraptions to get lunch. Coyote very smart while Roadrunner is just very fast. Unfortunately for Coyote, he outsmarts himself. 18. JANE AND THE DRAGON Raised to be a lady in waiting in Medieval England, 12-year-old Jane wants to be an apprentice knight in the King's Guard. She embarks on many adventures to prove her worth. Don't worry about her safety. She is brave; confident and clever. If that fails, she can always rely on her best friend. Said best friend is giant 300 year old dragon. Quite to loyal to her as she teaches him her world and he teaches her of his. 17. MAC AND TOSH Two fancy and well mannered Gophers who spend their time hunting vegetables. Always cheerful even if they are at risk of getting eaten themselves. Life is just so pleasant for these two at least. 16. BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD Or Metallica and AC/DC as per the Tee shirts. The dumbest duo on this list. I mean it. Neither Beavis nor Butt-Head would be considered 'the smart one.' They spend much of their time watching TV and making fun of whatever they might be watching. Wanting to score with the ladies not realizing it probably won't happen. Their stupidity both gets them in and out of trouble without them ever noticing there may be danger. Beavis, the blonde, is more hyper as Butt=Head, the brunette, is more laid back. They will insult and punch each but stay together. Not necessarily help each as sticking around to see what happens. It's all just 'COOL' to them. 15. DOCTOR CLAW AND MAD CAT The mysterious evil master mind of MAD. We never see his face, only the back of chair and a silver gauntlet hand talking to his cat. Claw is never successful in world conquest or destroying sworn enemy, Inspector Gadget. That;s a whole different matter in itself. Mad cat does not talk but is a great listener. The cat serves as the audience as Claw tells his entire plan to him in every episode. 14. YOGI AND BOO BOO Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo are inseparable best friends. Yogi acts as a loyal older brother figure with many a scheme in play. Boo-Boo serves is Yogi's conscience, often reminding him of the consequences of them stealing picnic baskets in Jelly Stone Park. Both are sharp dressers. Boo Boo has a slick bow tie as Yogi sports a straight tie with a green hat. Yogi thinks of himself as very clever bombastic bear. Boo Boo a bit shy but has Yogi's back. 13. MARIO AND LUIGI They are brothers who live in New York as Italian Plumbers. Mario (wears red) is strong willed ready to leap into action without thinking while Luigi (wears green) is more cautious. They wind up through a pipe into the Mushroom kingdom fighting a giant turtle named Koopa. Their last name is Mario. Mario Mario and Luigi Mario. 12. CHIP AND DALE Not brothers, but buddies. Chip is anxious as Dale is laid back. Chip is clever; naturally leads the way and looks after Dale. Dale looks for food/fun; a bit clumsy and supports Chip. The smart guy and the not so smart guy dynamic. Both serve purpose as together they make one really good chipmunk. Also, Dale has a bright red nose. 11. CHARLIE BROWN AND PEPPERMINT PATTY Peppermint Patty has a secret crush on Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown is not aware of her feelings for him as he is dense on the matter. Patty is a Tomboy who calls Charlie Brown, 'Chuck', out of affection. Supportive of him as she sees all the good in him while Charlie Brown cherishes her as a friend. 10. ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE Rocky is a squirrel, who can literally fly, while Bullwinkle is a well-meaning simple minded moose. Rocky is the lead as he is more clear thinking and heroic. Bullwinkle is also heroic but comedic relief. A lovely cold war duo that always got thrown into the weirdest of adventures. 9. CHARLIE BROWN AND SNOOPY The round bald headed kid and his pet beagle have a strange but strong relationship. They are buddies even if they do become annoyed with each other. Charlie Brown is long suffering by Snoopy's more humanistic behavior as Snoopy is more like a child himself. They need each other. A dog on two legs hugging his owner, that is love. 8. SNOOPY AND WOODSTOCK Best friends for life. Woodstock is a yellow bird who flies upside down. Snoopy is his buddy who keeps him safe. They watch each others back having a laugh along the journey. 7. PEABODY AND SHERMAN Mr. Peabody, the most accomplished dog in the world, and his adopted human son, Sherman use a time machine called the Wabac machine to set off on weird adventures. Yeah, Peabody can walk and talk like person with no one thinking this is strange. Also a dog can adopt a child. Sure. Did I mention, Peabody built time machine too. This world changing with no one noticing. Okay. 6. WALLACE AND GROMIT An bald cheese loving English Inventor and his silent dog. Gromit, the dog, is actually smarter then Wallace. Picking up on when things are going wrong when Wallace figures everything will be find. Gromit is supportive of his owner in all the crazy endeavor they embark, but much of the time Wallace needs saving. Wallace can hold his own as long as he have Gromit watching his back. 5. CALVIN AND HOBBES Calvin and  Hobbes are best friends. Calvin is a six year old boy with a wild imagination. Hobbes is a stuff tiger. Oh, and to Calvin, Hobbes is alive. Imagination after all. Hobbes is sarcastic and is the voice reason to Calvin, some times. Together they get in trouble a lot while watching each others backs.  4. BATMAN AND ROBIN The Dynamic Duo. The grim Dark Knight that blends into everything. The optimistic Boy Wonder who is green; red and yellow so he blends into nothing. Night and day most literally. A balance between justice and vengeance. Kindness and punishment. Both keep other from falling off the edge. 3. PINKY AND THE BRAIN These two are white lab mice living at ACME labs. Brain wants to conquer the world as Pinky wants to eat cheese. Brain is a genius and Pinky is crazy. They are friends who do care for each other. The over thought plans never work due to some small detail, but they never give up trying trying. 2. TOM AND JERRY Perhaps one of the greatest cat and mouse teams of all times. Sometimes allies. Sometime even friends. Most of the time, comedic  enemies that like to do the old chase routine. Jerry throwing everything, and sometimes even, the kitchen sink to avoid being eaten by Tom. Tom is the cat after all and in spite of his size and schemes, loses to a tiny mouse, Jerry, more often then not. Most respect Tom's instincts or stupidity for never giving up. Obviously Jerry is the smarter one. And he is the cuter one too. Jerry smiles as Tom tends to frown more often. Weird to see it in reverse. 1. SHAGGY AND SCOOBY-DOO The original buddy team. Ones a laid back slacker and the other is a Great Dane. Both are cowards but somehow are usually the ones to save the day. They don't want to chase mysteries. Get terrorized by wanna be ghosts. They just want to eat and have fun. Friends, Daphne; Fred and Velma are responsible for that vocation. Loyal friends even if Shaggy and Scooby might regret at times.
