15 thoughts on Stop! That! Train!

Not too long ago, I saw Stop! That! Train! with a friend! Here are some thoughts.

  1. The funniest singular scene had to be when the president is getting an increasingly large stack of briefs and other things as she walks around the Oval Office and is being updated on the increasingly silly list of who has signed on to help
  2. But, of course, a highlight for me was also Latrice Royale popping up as Barbara in job after job
  3. I also have to give a shoutout to Rachel Bloom whom I love from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
  4. The musical numbers were well recorded and edited, cleverly and hilariously written, and performed with the right mix of skill and silliness
  5. But, I do wish Jaida Essence Hall had been cast considering one of the original numbers was called "Look Over There!" which is 100% making use of the success of the catchphrase she started in her original season's political debate episode
  6. I think even more Ru girls could've been squeezed in since there were lots of passengers on the train
  7. The lack of effort into the special effects was fun and campy for me, so it fit the tone just right
  8. But, I have heard that--allegedly--AI was used in the film and that is a bummer
  9. I thought Sarah Michelle Gellar was playing herself, but she was apparently credited as just "Famous Actress"
  10. The outfits (throughout) were so fun and perfectly fit the personality and roles of the characters
  11. But, that said, I would've enjoyed a like pin or something on the train hostesses that I could get for myself
  12. I wanted a bigger payoff of the rag doll (especially in the haunted tunnel)
  13. The overall themes of friendship and being recognized for your strengths was heartwarming even if it was wrapped up in such silliness
  14. But I do sorta wish President Gagwell had suffered more consequences for the "incident" in her past (trying not to spoil too much)
  15. I had such a fun time!

(Prompt by me)

Stop! That! Train! (2026) directed and produced by Adam Shankman and written by Christina Friel and Connor Wright, Unapologetic Projects and World of Wonder

I'm angry

I'm angry. And I don't (at the moment) want to be talked out of it. I struggle, often, with expressing or even just sitting with my emotions. I feel like even the photo I chose for this post was more reserved or toned down than how I feel.  But, this is my trying. I'm not going to time this post, just going to write until I feel done, whenever that may be. In this post, I'm going to focus on the anger I feel around my dad and my dad's death. Though, don't get me wrong, I'm also angry about a lot of things going on in my city, in my country, and in the world. My dad chose alcohol over me and my brother. There is no way around this fact. Yes, when I am less angry, I can be more reasonabl and recognize that addiction is a disesase and he didn't have control over it. But, right now, I want to be angry. I want to get to be angry. I want to get to feel my feelings. I don't want to rationalize, I don't want to be reasonable, I don't want to be fair....
