The Apple Worm

Yeah, I am still working on uploading my latest podcast episode reviewing this movie and the Netflix phenomenon I missed out on earlier this year called Annihilation. It will come soon I promise :) As for the topic at hand: Incredibles 2! 14 years later we finally get the much deserved and requested sequel. I will be direct and simple: THIS MOVIE IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE! As a whole it is superior, but there are things the first movie does better. I rewatched the original movie the night before going to see the movie and was absolutely sure that it was unbeatable. And it was superior to the second in one thing: the villain. Syndrome is one of the best and most well rounded villains there is and I absolutely enjoyed him in the first movie. Also the first movie centers completely on the family and fleshes them out extensively, this allows the sequel to spend more time on secondary and new characters, but I still wished to have had more time with them taking into account...

I hope and wish with all my heart that you already have or someday find or share the feeling of true happiness and excitement that I have every 4 years when the World Cup happens. Let me explain: One of my first memories of happiness was when I was about 5 years old, I was visiting with my family southern France to go to the beaches and generally enjoy the great weather. We always go to this house that my danish parents have in a beautiful and small town called Bagnols-en-For êt. This small and local french place was truly a small quiet and almost hidden place perfect for  relaxing and driving in the day to the nearby beaches like Saint-Raphael or Cannes. It was 1998 and France faced Brasil in the World Cup Final. I remember the town being as full as could be, people of all ages, all kinds of face paint with the french flag, and nerves like nothing I had seen. If you have not figured it out by now, France won that World Cup and the entire country of France BLEW UP IN HAPPINE...
