Halloween 1 and 2 Movie Review!

                Today's blog is about the first 2 movies of Halloween and it is a movie review. Mind you I have only done 2 movies so far and I am sure I will be doing 3 and 4 next week. But here are the reviews for both the movies:

Halloween: The original movie that got this franchise going. I loved this movie, the music is freaky and when you heard the music you know something is going to happen. I like the backstory with Michael how it began how he became the main antagonist in the movies. It is always nice to know how it happened with the original backstory to the character. Also Jamie Lee Curtis was phenomenal in the movie and I really enjoyed this movie. These are the perfect Halloween movie for this time of the year. I know when I watched I always wonder what was going to happen in a future movie with characters being killed in the movie so it really made me wonder. Also I wanna add to this review, that no matter what they did Michael still kept on going took a few times before he collapsed. This movie gets a 10 out of 10 from me if I am to rate this movie out of 10.

Halloween II: This movie is a continuation what happened from the end of the movie where Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) was in the hospital and what happened to Michael which is a cool way to do the movie so you won't be questioning what happened at the end of the last movie throughout the entire movie. That's the correct way to do it and it answers a ton of questions. Also what I liked was how they continued on when the Dr. was shooting at him so it wraps up anything that happened from the first movie. I know this movie takes place in the hospital scenario. I was questioning why when Michael was on fire he was still alive till he moved a few extra feet. I loved this movie, love how they did the scene with Michael on fire. There wasn't a thing called Green Screen like there is now for 1980s. I know it wasn't as well know but I'm not sure when that became part of what is used to this day but this movie definitely gets a 10 out of 10 from me.

                  Those are my reviews and be sure to stay tuned as I am planning to do another review next week on Halloween III and Halloween IV. I know I have 12 movies to catch up on and please be patient with me as I watch 2 or 3 a week. Thanks to Jimi for the idea to do a review of these movies, plan on doing more of these in the nearby future. Till tomorrow's post, have a great rest of your Wednesday!

Microsoft Word 2021 & Verbatim USB Reviews!

                 Today, I have two product reviews and I am going to start with Microsoft Word 2021. Now, I haven't had Microsoft Word for at least 5 - 7 Years now and with my Corel Word Perfect acting really weird as my printer isn't being recognized I am now done with that program at this point and actually the version of Word Perfect it's a very old program nearly 20 years old and it was time for an upgrade actually.  So I spent nearly 200 dollars on a Microsoft  Word 2021 and so far I love it 100% love it more then Corel. Now I know I have Corel editing software and I am not going to throw any of those away. I know, I know I am stalling but this program offers so much more and I like the fact you can actually have headers and footers in your document which the other program didn't offer and all programs are different and again the version of the program was an older program and we all know the newer versions have new features added. However I am quite satisfied and happy with this program and it gets 10 out of 10 rating even though I am still navigating around the program. Last little note is I just didn't get word but has other programs that came in the package and I will review it once I start using it.

                  Now the second purchase almost 55 dollars later so looking at me spending 250 dollars between but yesterday morning my old USB pretty much died, I couldn't delete or save files on there so I had to spend the money on a new one and I got the Verbatim USB which is amazing and I just started to use it this morning and it actually lets me password protect the USB so if it gets lost and someone puts in it they will not know the password to it and unable to open it which is great to have it password protected. This actually keeps the privacy of my documents and what is actually on there. It was worth the money to spend on the programs that I got and hopefully this is the end of my spending spree for a while so I can save up again as it has been spend, spend, spend recently. Anyways that is my post and I will talk to you all tomorrow for a movie review on the blog.

Differences Between The 2020 Graphics To The 2022 Graphics

           This is a good little break for Chris from blogging on the website as he's been so extremely busy with content, he can actually focus on things but I believe he is not in his studio today. Anyways, as you know Chris and myself have been extremely busy with getting ready for 2022. So as you all know, I have recently worked on the graphics for not just social media for ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. What you see on the right side of my post is the 2020 version of the logo which now is outdated and time for an update. Don't get me wrong I love this logo and Chris did an amazing job on the graphics but he felt like it was time for an update in the logo after 2 years and I totally agreed with him on that point. Part of my job is the website side of things and the other half is the graphical end as I have studied both sides of things and he is in luck I happen to know both sides of it.

             The logo on the left side of this paragraph is the NEW 2022. Not much difference when it comes to the logo and the real only thing that has changed on the logo is the text and the read leaf and also the colour difference which is a ton darker then it was with the 2020 and Chris preferred it was darker to begin with. It was really tough to replicate his original logo to the exact and know the size of the text on all 3 levels but what matters is he is happy with the finished product. I can say it is the same size as the original and we tried and keep everything the same and colour of the text remains the complete same and unchanged along with the red leaf but the rest is different now. As he said, he will be making the changes on the 1st of January 2022 and I am excited for the changes and I have implemented the CBOTW Twitter logo to my own profile on Twitter to test and haven't removed it as he's given me the OK to leave it as it is. That is the difference and big thank-you to Chris for allowing me to make this post this morning and I will talk to you all around the ChrisBOnTheWeb Community.

End of The Week Updates [10-22-2021]

                It is that time of the week and I provided you some insight what has happened in the last week but I will reiterate it for you guys in this post. So much immense pressure when it comes to all the hard work I am putting into the content for the website alone, it's mentally exhausting! Anyways, here are my updates:

Entertainment Man Podcast: As you all know, I have been working my tail off on recording episodes and got 4 of them done for the coming week, so in total 4 as I said, 3 regular (Last Sunday, This Sundays and next Sundays episodes are all recorded and done. Also the Bonus episode you heard yesterday went up that too was pre-recorded so I recorded a ton and everything is done for this podcast for least another week. It is a week by week basis pretty much. 

Power Rangers Collab Podcast: Now that Mystic Force is now behind us the podcast is ready to go and get posted up. So this is my OFFICIAL announcement that Power Rangers Mystic Force is going up tomorrow afternoon at 1 pm EST! Larry and I hope you guys really enjoy it!

ChrisBOnTheWeb Graphics: This is graphics across the website, ChrisBOnTheWeb.com, Facebook Group and Twitter.  Instagram doesn't allow banners so this is unaffected. This will be starting on January 1st, 2022 and we will be working on it after we're up on New Years Day and you will see across the board the changes.

ChrisBOnTheWeb.com: On top of the graphical end of the imaging the banner, logo, etc, the menu bar is getting a long overdue overhaul in colours. Savannah has tried it prior and was Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, she fiddled with the CSS Code of the Menu bar, the menu worked just fine just the colors might of gone off but she got it changed without a problem but had changed it back. The only thing that has changed is the icon at the top of the tab where it says Chris B On The Web the icon had the Maple Leaf and CBOTW on it but now it hasn't. 

                 So those are my updates what has gone on in the last week, hope you guys have a great weekend and I will be speaking to you all Tuesday as Savannah wants to explain the changes to the logo so I will be back on Tuesday with another blog post so enjoy your weekend and I will talk to you then.

Overcame A lot of Things This Week!

                   I have overcome a lot of things in the last week. I will kind of highlight things from the past week what I have overcome:

1) Finishing up a very long and tiring Operation Overdrive Notes which was the long process and Jungle Fury will be a long process too and time consuming but it'll be done.

2) Getting 4 episodes of Entertainment Man Podcast done for the coming weeks as I will be very busy person moving forward and still one more season to do after Jungle Fury to finish and you can guess right, RPM. 

3) Completed Power Rangers Mystic Force Podcast and that was a long journey but got it done one way another.

                 So the next phase is to get 10 - 15 episodes per day, print em off then I am taking a week off from the collab then moving straight into RPM even tho we're a month and a half away. However recently I have dominated the workload and it is unlike me to get so much done in a very short time, however this is good I am getting things done and we're getting close to finishing up things for 2021 and slowly preparing for 2022 and more details are coming tomorrow. In the end I am proud of myself getting things done and resting and getting the extra sleep when I need it and the end of the year is very close and tons of stuff to get done still regardless.

All Eyes Are On The Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast Coming Out This Week!

                   I know it's been a month almost since Larry and I have recorded the Mystic Force and yes I have been holding onto the episode for weeks now and been promising to get it done. I have been working on it the last 2 - 3 days and moving quite quickly with the podcast and wanting to get it up this week. The criteria is not posting two episodes on the same day and I pre wrote this post so things could be different by the time this gets out, this could be done but again it will depend. I do not plan to sprung it today on you guys so if anything it will be up by Friday or Saturday and I will be announce this a day or so in advance depending how quickly I get it done and finished to upload. I promise it will not be on a Thursday as it is a bonus podcast day for me and I think 1 podcast a day is enough. 

                     I have ran scenarios in the back of my head that I could wait and I may have no other choice as if I post it Friday it's a day after the normal podcast goes up, if I post it Saturday it's so close to Sundays normal episode. You see my dilemma there, either way it cuts it so darn close and wish I had time Saturday, I would of edited it first and have it posted on Tuesday (yesterday) and it would of been 2 days apart but I am going to take the hit and if this means jeopardizing views on the other then so be it. All episodes gotta go up either way and if this affects the other shows I do then that's fine. However I do not think it will affect it whatsoever yet Sundays episode was a little slower in listens but still early and only mid week. It is hard to get listens on that podcast when it's twice a week. However all eyes on Mystic Force Collab Podcast right now and it has been all about the collab recently. That has been my main focus and shift to ensure we get to RPM and complete it by end of this year. We are close to caught right up with the podcast and we are very aware of our situation trying to be ready for February. I will have another update next week what Larry and I discussed in our meeting for right now I will talk to you all tomorrow and be on the lookout on social media for an announcement when the collab goes up!

Halton County Radial Museum- Fall 2021

           I know I have been to Halton recently but we returned for Streetcar rides and it was a fun day and yes I know I have been on the road a ton lately. So we got there and we have to show proof we're vaccinated so if you visit anywhere in Ontario, know you have show proof of vaccination. Anyways we had 3 choices of streetcars and not any street but 3 Generations of Streetcars, Peter Witt, PCC (Presidents Conference Car) and the CLRV. It is pretty cool there is 3 generations of Streetcars on Sunday. So we started with PCC # 4600 which was originally an 4500 numbered which recently had been repainted. Then we went into the barn to look around and noticed they are painted the Hamilton Streetcar so their progressing well with the project.

        Then we got onto the 4039 CLRV which brought back a ton of memories growing up as when I was younger these were the go to Streetcars we road around Toronto when my Dad and I went into the Big T.O. Anyways we road right back around and we got off and we grabbed the Peter Witt # 2894 which was the last car of the day and our visit. After we took some pictures around, took a picture of 4010 which is being repaired as I found out from their Instagram and glad their always making repairs to the fleet of streetcars and also I took a picture next to the colorful # 4178 which you can see a picture of me next to it. So in all, we had a great day and I hope you enjoyed today's post and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

Silent Lake- Fall Colors 2021!

               On Friday when the End of The Week went up on the site here I was up North for the day since I finished up Operation Overdrive. Now the leaves, well some of them or most of them were all down on the ground as we went up a little too late. We should of done that a week or so before but we know for next year. Anyways we started our adventure down at the Day Beach with Lunch which consisted of Kielbassa, Cheese and crackers and grapes and water. Then we went to our old stomping grounds where we actually camped aka Camp ground # 127 at Silent Lake which we booked every year for 5 years or more but always great memories from there. We drove around the loop took some pictures as we went around and we parked and walked down to the dock and looked out then we got hiking to our other old stompin grounds Pincer Bay Beach & the rock which we spent a ton of time swimming and when I was younger making sand castles. 

We then had our Gatorades and went back on our way to the car. We stopped at our little rocky place we spent time at when we were in Granite Ridge Campgrounds and we headed our way home. However we went through Haliburton on the way home and the colors were spectacular but the problem there with that the leaves were mostly down by then so it wasn't as great as we thought but we have to go a bit earlier then usual instead of what we did on this trip. However it was a fun trip either way and yes it was a trip down memory lane once again for me and I am so glad to see people camping there and goes to show that camping is indeed very safe especially during this pandemic there is nothing unsafe about it whatsoever. That is my post for today, hope you enjoyed it and tomorrow will be about Halton County Radial Museum.

End of The Week Updates

                       Another week has ended and it is of course time for another end of the week. It has been a busy last week, working on the collab all week long and got some news on the home front on this but here are the updates:

Entertainment Man Podcast: Things are going well with the podcast, the views continue to surprise me each and every episode. As you know the podcast is reaching new heights and with the end of the year coming fast and 2 months from today, I will be officially booking interviews for this podcast in 2 months from now on December 15th, 2021 which is 4 days prior to end of the season. As you know the podcast will have interviews every second week and in case there isn't an interview I have topics ready for back-up in case so I have something to talk about on the episode. Since I will be on a break from the collab, I have decided to pre-record episodes again so I can continue to strive and get the collab up to speed with episodes as that has been my primary focus recently. I haven't given this podcast much attention minus recording, editing and posting but will soon, don't worry. 

Website: On the website, we have updated the drop down menu under "About" with On-Going Projects and Previous Projects to Current Projects and Past Projects so the links have changed recently. However you can access it on any of the pages you are on under the "About" section of the website.

Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast: This has been the talk recently and first thing I wanna talk about it yes i am currently holding onto Mystic Force which will be edited and released when I finish up Jungle Fury by end of the weekend a week Sunday from this Sunday as I am pushing the envelope even more. Hopefully by that week I'll be ready to start editing towards the final week of October and and have it up by the start of November. Now I have great news as you guys know, I have officially finished and printed off the notes for Operation Overdrive and now is put on the side till I finish Jungle Fury to send them off to Larry himself. 

                 That are my updates and I know it's quite a list  of updates but there are the updates and hope you have a great weekend and starting Monday, I have a few fun posts to make from Silent Lake to Halton County Radial Museum so it will be a busy first 2 days of the week but I will talk about it on Monday.

I'm Sorry For No Blog This Morning!

                    I am sorry for no blog post this morning. As you know my sleep has been very screwy lately and it is because of this pandemic and being home 24-7 minus Mondays when I see Eric in person, I have been home majority of the time minus recently as tomorrow I will be up north for the day and not working and same with Sunday, so I will be all over the place and no work will be done for me and I have to try and get things done by Saturday including Entertainment Man Podcast which hasn't yet been recorded which tonight and tomorrow morning I need to get Operation Overdrive done so I can move on. I am struggling to get work down at times where I need a mental break from things and it really stinks to be honest but I am trying to get the notes done in a timely fashion.

                     I need to get the sleep back to normal and I do not feel it's going to happen anytime soon but I am trying each and everyday to fix the sleep but so far no luck whatsoever to get the sleep fixed and no end to it I think at this moment. and it is what it is. However it is inexcusable from doing a blog post and forgetting and I had the page up technically and could of written something. I think I just blanked on ideas and I have a bunch of ideas actually that I can use and I should of used it. It is what it is and sorry this is a short post but I wanted to do one to let you guys know I am OK, just sleeping at odd hours and that is today's post I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

We Went Round and Round on The Bus.... SMH! (EPIC FAIL)

                   Yesterday was a mess once we left the Lake all the good vibes went out the window... We didn't realize we would have to walk a block to the bus to get me home. Anyways we walked there and got to the bus stop. The bus came and we didn't realize it till we got to where my old work, the bookstore which is no longer around as they closed down prior to COVID-19 happening like 2 - 3 years after I left the position I was at due to certain reasons I will not disclose as that is now in the past. So we got off at the McDonald's where the former Bookstore where I worked at and we tried to figure out where the proper bus was. First we ended up on the wrong side of the bridge where there is a tunnel to go under the highway so we had to go back and on the other side as the road was too busy to cross and probably unsafe. 

                     At this point I was getting into one of my moods where I was kicked a light pole in anger blaming myself for this. Anyways we went on under the bridge and across a major road and across a bridge to get to the bus which it didn't really take that long as I used the app to ensure we know which stop to get on at. We got to the stop and the bus ran late as usual and by the time I got back to the stop I was already out of my moods and sometimes it is easy to come out of my moods and sometimes its the entire day or hours I am in a bad mood which depends on a day to day basis. What matters is I made it home despite an hour later after spending 30 - 45 mins diddly daddling around trying to get home.  The lesson from this is to pay attention to the bus signs which I didn't do so I will be sure to do that next time around. Anyways hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will speak to you all tomorrow!
