Come walk the red carpet where the fans are the stars

Opening monologue
This year’s Avatar Awards will also honor entertainment from some previous years. Aside from 2021’s abbreviated blogcast, we have had technical difficulties following the pandemic.
As I scour the entertainment stratosphere for movies and series from 2024-2025 I have yet to see (plus any previous I’m waiting to see without buying or renting. I recently learned that “Buying is only until the license runs out where you bought it then it disappears” !!! so it IS BETTER to have a physical (DVD/blu-ray)copy.
Even if I may not have found at least one ‘nom’ for each category, however I haven’t found a movie I thought to be there.
The Avatar Awards WILL always ‘”AIR” on the same date December 29th every year . However of course life happens and sometimes pandemics as well but aside from the occasional “hiccup” The Avatar Awards will be published each year (even if its only one award we give.


Best TV show opening sequence– Duster It:Welcome To Derry
Network– Matlock High Potential Elsbeth
Cable show(s) IT:Welcome to Derry
Streaming Show – Motorheads (Prime) Waterfront(Netflix) (sadly the previous 2 were canceled)
Almighty Johnsons (about a bunch of brothers that are the reincarnations of Norse Gods) on Peacock . I was interested when it came out sadly I never got to It then however highly enjoying it in December 2025
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (ended)
actor/ Actress– Charlie Hunnam (monster season 3 The story of Ed gein)
Episode- Waterfront (Netflix) 1.4 (& BEST ENDING)
Mr. Midnight: Beware the Monsters 1.5 My Class Vampire Vampire dancing isn’t funny, its enthralling which was the point, Also perfect type of son and way choreographed for it.
The Stand: 1.8 The Stand The melting Guy, Lightning, and the Final Destination like death. I thought I saw the lightning strike the water in the pool so why are they not dead? Oh F’awesome cut in half by the lightning! I guess the lightning came in through the the broken skylight and struck something which turned the place into a faraday cage with bolts flying everywhere… Zeus is out of control! Up until this episode I found the series a drag.
The Librarians 1.11 …and the Graffiti of the Gods This was a fun episode. Someone on TV time described it as “Doctor Who meets Supernatural” (IF you are a Supernatural fan, you know the episode, I don’t recall the title of the Supernatural episode with the black holes and just Looney toons type stuff happening? but I think you can envision the one I mean). Honestly I may not be an artist in that way, but I like the idea of “What if your doodles, and paintings et al, come to life. My current project would be very problematic as I’m working on a diamond painting of many of the horror antagonists like Michael Myers, Jaws, Freddy, Chucky, Pennywise, (there’s at least 20 if not 30 characters.)
Dexter: Resurrection Episode Call me Red a Serial Killer Dinner Party with Kristen Ritter, Neil Patrick Harris,Eric Stonestreet, and Peter Dinklege,
It:Welcome to Derry: s1. e7 The Black Spot Fun, Fire, Phantoms and more! This I believe is the best episode by far. Pennywise on the prowl and honestly parts reminded me of part of the movie Sinners!
Almighty Johnsons s2 e5 A Damn Fine Woman Axel (aka reincarnated Odin) turns into a girl!!! The actress that played the female Axel I felt did an aswesome job, dramatic but comedic. Works with the myths of Odin being able to to change form, however in the myths it was Thor who dressed up (because of Loki) to rescue on of the goddesses…
It welcome to Derry S1 season Finale
The fog rolling in, the spooky foggy ambiance of the episode, Halloran MVP and a heroic Knight

I loved him in Cossby Show esp. memorable is that ‘Gorden Gartrell” shirt Denise made him, to him talking at my Junior High school and the last few TV seasons I watched him in, he pooped up on the 9-1-1 parent show, Alert: Missing Person Unit and his last role in Murder in a Small Town. I learned of his passing the same day Ozzy passed on. So I wasn’t just gutted this pushed me into tears. Someone I literally grew up watching is gone.

I know I don’t normally include this, as the only arcades are ticket machines now, and those craptastic bores of building, matching etc games for tablets and phones. I prefer old school arcade (my fave was Rampage and pinball machines) and consol games like Mario, Mortal Kombat (yes! No idea how long it took them. But we have Rampage for I think our ps2! . We don’t play video games often so it’s time for a new console for when we are In The mood but @playstation and the other brands NEED TO START MAKING IT SO EVEN THE FIRST consol game will play in the latest., and not just a ps 4 in a PS5..
But I digress It’s been some time but I FINALLY was able to play Mortal Kombat again this time on my cousin’s PS4 and holy crap! I jaw dropped at the graphics not to mention was a bit confused seeing terminator, RoboCop, Sylvester Stallone (can’t recall if Rocky or Rambo) and I believe Spawn as character options.
While we weren’t able to play versus each other due to the 2nd controller not working (yeah my undefeated streak still stands😁)
I forget how many games I played (always as Scorpion..) as we switched off, but aside from one game vs the CPU I won, and the last game I accidentally selected retry Instead of changing fighter but I still won!!
When I got to watch my cousin play it was like watching a movie fight scene. Compared to the old school graphics I grew up with (Even when it was no longer 8 bit but could see character faces AND the evolve through the years I was still astonished at this even tho there’s many commercials for video games that when I see I think it’s going to be a movie then I get disappointed when they say what console it’s on. With that
I really need to find a PS5 and the Mortal Kombat for it. But need to find some deal on the console so I can get a few games to go with.
