Round up 12 of August

 Last week we had the pleasure of the company of my Uncle John 

QPR lost in the Carborro cup this week. The new manager Mr Beale spoke openly about the matter

The heat wave continues it is as hard to sleep as it was in Peru- Work is also very quiet

I note with passing the passing of Olivia Newton John

Bobby Zamora moment at Wembley Stadium

 https://www.efl.com/news/2022/august/chloe-kelly-recreates-bobby-zamora-moment-at-wembley/


Chloe Kelly who scored the decisive goal at the Women's Euro 2022 final - and is a lifelong QPR fan- describes the goal as a Bobby Zamora moment 


Bobby Zamora took QPR into the premiership with a last minute screamer in 2014

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

 

Marvel does horror and it works quite well. I always stayed away from horror films but Marvel handles it well. We have body horror- Black Bolt having his mouth sealed. The Undead- Strange raising a multi dimensional version of himself. We have nightmares-crooked doors in crooked houses and hellscapes

We have a chase scene and a woman buried alive too

It is nice to have a female antagonist- The Scarlet Witch. Good for Elizabeth Olsen for playing the Scarlet Witch as the baddie . Mmm I do like Elizabeth Olsen in costume

It was nice to see Bruce Campbell fighting with his hand again- Yes I got that reference!

Indeed speaking of Ash and the Evil Dead was surprised Lucy Lawless never got a look in Oh I just learned she does - There is a statue based on Xena in the film

Strange/or Cumberbatch seems to have an affinity with teenagers first Peter Parker than later America Chavez. It is interesting 

Nice to see Strange having to meet fans at a wedding- and turn down people who want selfies

It would have been nice to see a Marvel Universe where say  the Nazi's won See some more meaty alternate history 

So not a bad two hours ten minutes

It is not really a coherent story it. Is more a series of set pieces. A lot of CGI
