Topic: Blog NewsHello, everyone. I know it has been a long hiatus, and now I have decided to stop posting in this blog. For those two or three of you who may have read my posts, I apologize. Thank you for your support, but I feel this is the best decision to make at this time. I would also like to apologize for never posting that Star Wars post I promised. I did post one, but it was not the one I had in mind. Of course, I like to be trustworthy and reliable, but I did not get around to doing the research I intended for that post. (It has been a while since I last watch the original Star Wars movies.) You can look into your self if you like. I saw a strong WWII-related story in the original trilogy. Perhaps I will try my hand again at blogging in the future, but don't hold your breath just in case. I will still see you around the web. - James D. McIntosh Jr.
Topic: Blog NewsHello, readers. I apologize for the delay since my last post. This is the first time I have been online sine I posted it. I just wanted to let you know I do have more to say, but it will have to wait. Due to my current internet situation, I cannot keep frequent content coming. I also am going through some personal and spiritual growth, so I am going to get some more wisdom in my scull before I go around posting more opinions. In other words, I am taking a break until further notice. If you would like to keep updated when I start posting again, please sign up for email updates. - James D. McIntosh Jr.
The Biggest Story is a book written by Kevin DeYoung, who also narrates the audio book and the animated short film. Both of those are very good and, except for the visual aspects, are almost exactly the same.
Let's go back in time and explore the Bible with a narrator who has an interesting way with words, a nice accompanying musical score, and a fascinating visual art presence. That is what is in the CD and the DVD. Now I'll be honest, there are parts of the story that are breezed through or completely skipped over. There are times you will feel rushed or feel like something important is missing. But the main points of the story still come across for the most part. In fact, connections are made through the whole "biggest story" of the Bible that you may have missed before or forgotten. So it serves as a very good introduction for children (who have a short attention span) and a decent reminder for adults. And this is a format made mostly for children, although, as I said before, I find it captivating and somewhat informative myself. So the sexuality is all cut out and so is most of the gruesomeness, but it still gets mildly gruesome at times. So overall, it is a very nice product you not mind at all sitting down and watching or listening to with your child.

Topic: Movies & TVAs you may know, especially if you like to visit IMDb, Steven Spielberg is working on Jurassic World sequel, as well as some other exciting projects. But what will this new film be about? Well, obviously, it will be an epic crossover between Jurassic Park / World and Godzilla. After the events of Jurassic World, it just makes perfect sense. Think about it: Dr. Wu was working with Hoskins and military to weaponize the Velociraptors. Although Hoskins was killed, Wu was placed into military protection and, presumably, got away safely. What’s the logical (or perhaps illogical considering what happens in these movies) next step? The military hires Wu to breed a living weapon, i.e. Godzilla. A weapon so large and powerful it can decimate an enitre city. Possibly while fighting a giant moth, but that’s optional. Of course, the silly military will assume they can contain and control such a thing, but it will clearly escape and cause much more havoc than the tyrannosaur in The Lost World: Jurassic Park. ------ Okay, so maybe that’s not how things will play out in the next Jurassic World movie, but it makes sense, right? I would totally watch it, if it was better that last Godzilla movie. - James D. McIntosh Jr.
