A New Mummy Movie is Coming - And I'm Excited!

on November 05, 2025

+

It was announced that a new Mummy movie is coming! Several outlets have confirmed that The Mummy 4 is officially in the works, with filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett at the helm. And the best part is, it's not a reboot, it will have the original stars, Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz. This was after they tried to do a reboot version of the movie starring Tom Cruise in 2017 that was not good at all. The three main movies in the The Mummy franchise are The Mummy (1999), The Mummy Returns (2001), and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008). These action-adventure films follow the adventures of Rick O'Connell (Brendan Frasier) and Evelyn Carnahan as (Rachel Weisz in the first 2 movies) they battle supernatural foes across different parts of the world, with the first film reintroducing the character of Imhotep, and the sequels continuing the story of the O'Connell family. The good news is Rachel Weisz will be back in the newest movie, with Maria Bellow, ...

Eating 6 Saltine Crackers in a Minute - How Hard Could It Be?

How hard can it be to eat 6 saltine crackers in a minute. Doesn't sound hard. Of course you have to do it without any liquids. So can't down water after each one. So I imagine your mouth would get pretty dried out. But could I do it? Eating saltine crackers without water is hard because they quickly absorb saliva, turning them into a dry, crumbly mass that is difficult to swallow. The crackers are a simple starch, and without saliva to lubricate and break them down, they become like chewing paper and can be difficult to move down the throat. According to Guinness World Records the most eaten was 6 officially. But I saw many other videos out there where people got up to 12 crackers eaten in a minute. But I will stick with trying to go for 6 and see if I can even do that. Well here we go:

The Bathroom: A Parent’s Escape?

Do you remember when the bathroom use to be a place where you could get away from the all the world’s problems? A nice quiet bubble bath, a hot shower, perhaps catch up on some reading while sitting on your throne. If this all sounds nostalgic to you, then you must have young children. Because all of that is a thing of the past! If you don’t have children yet, let me prepare you for what is to come: Prepare to have an audience . Yes, an audience. If you have any stage fright issues when it comes to going to the bathroom get over it. Because all eyes will be on you. Being stalked. Yes, prepare to be stalked into the bathroom by your little one. You and your little shadow will arrive at the same time and sometimes they even like to jump on the toilet before you get a chance and pee all over the seat. Shouting thru doors . If you can actually make it to the bathroom alone and are able to shut the door (and lock it if you are lucky enough to have ...

Do You Remember these 7 Discontinued McDonald’s Menu Items?

McDonald’s has introduced many new items to their menu over the years. Some have been successfully and some have “McFlopped”. Here’s a look back at 7 discontinued McDonald’s menu items that didn’t make the cut. Onion Nuggets Introduced in the mid 70’s the Onion Nuggets may have looked like chicken, but pop one in your mouth and you got an onion surprise. McLean Deluxe In 1991 the McLean Deluxe was introduced as a healthy version of the hamburger. In fact it boasted that it was 91% fat free! How did McDonald’s lower the fat content of the traditional burger? Seaweed! But apparently Seaweed doesn’t taste that great. So bye bye McLean Deluxe. Arch Deluxe In 1996 McDonald’s introduced the world to the Arch Deluxe, a more “gourmet style” hamburger marketed towards adults. The ingredients were a quarter pound of beef, on a potato flour bun, topped with bacon, leaf lettuce, tomato, American cheese, onions, ketchup, “secret” mustard and mayonnaise sauce. The world didn’t want gourme...

Oregon Trail - A Classic Game

So I was feeling a little nostalgic today. I came across the Oregon Trail game. This was one of the first games I ever played. Yes, this tells you I am old. I think I was in Kindergarten when I first played it. It was on an old computer that just had the black and green screen. I remember we were allowed to play it in Library. It was seriously so cool at the time. This was before Nintendo or Atari or anything fun like that. So I saw a pic of the game. Then I started looking it up. I came across the Visit Oregon website that had an older version of the game you could play. So of course I played it. I mean this is the most basic game you can play. Here is the Google AI explanation of it: The Oregon Trail video game is based on the historical journey of American pioneers traveling from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon Country in the mid-19th century, simulating the challenges, resource management, and decision-making necessary for survival on the arduous westward ...

The Yule Cat - A Christmas Tradition

While traditional Christmas folklore characters are typically friendly—just think of the many incarnations of St Nicolas—in Iceland there’s a character that sounds quite terrifying. The Yule Cat (Jólakötturin) is a huge, vicious creature that lurks in the snowy countryside. Jólakötturinn is the Icelandic Yule Cat or Christmas Cat. He is not a nice cat at all. In fact, he might eat you! This character is tied to an Icelandic tradition in which those who finished all their work on time received new clothes for Christmas, while those who were lazy did not (although this is mainly a threat). To encourage children to work hard, parents told the tale of the Yule Cat, saying that Jólakötturinn could tell who the lazy children were because they did not have at least one new item of clothing for Christmas—and these children would be sacrificed to the Yule Cat. This reminder tends to spur children into doing their chores! A poem written about the cat ends with a suggestion that children he...

Parking Ramp Stories

I was running right on time today for work. When I say right on time I mean I will sit down at my desk, right at 8am. Then I hit the parking ramp. On any other day, this would have been no problem. But today I had been caught up in some heavy traffic so I was cutting it a bit close. I would definitely have to put some pride in my stride and haul my butt fast through the skywalk. So I pull into the gate at the bottom of the ramp. Usually around this time everybody else is putting in that extra effort and have already made it to their desk, so the ramp is all mine. Nope......not today. I have a mini van that has pulled into the gate right before me. The stalls are right next to each other and both lead up into the ramp. I know I need to beat this car. I could tell that this would be a very slow person. At this point the mini van and my car are lined up like two horses ready to run the race of a life time. I put my card in, it does not work. I try again......nothing. I look over and ...

A Caffeine Bar for Breakfast? Yep, that's my Routine

Most people will drink coffee in the morning to get the caffeine to wake up for the day. But, I don't like coffee. Can't stand it really. I like tea, but tea makes me have to pee way to much. I could drink a soda, but we all know soda is fattening and has way too many sugars in it. So what else is there? I need caffeine. It is my one vice I need! Don't do drugs, barely drink alcohol and I cut out drinking soda ( drink Cirkul now ), but I need caffeine to wake up! The answer for me? Clif Caffeine Bars. Now let me start by saying I am a breakfast eater, but I don't like greasy things for breakfast. Plus I want something easy I can grab fast and take it to work. That's when I found these amazing bars. Not only a bar, which tastes good, but it has caffeine in it! 65mg! That's plenty to get me going. Now originally they just had a mint version, which luckily for me I love mint. So that was my breakfast everyday. I would get my kick of energy from that bar and be go...

The Blur of Life

Life comes at you quick. That’s what you always hear at least. But as you get older, I find this statement to be even more true. I am often reminded of this when I talk to my 14 year-old son. He is a freshman in high school this year and often talks about how slow the weeks go by. Of course, the weekends tend to go fast for him when he’s not in school. That whole mentality is just so crazy to me. I am 47, which is old to me, but now I try to enjoy all the moments I can. Because when I look back on life it seems like a blur now. Of course, life was a bit simpler when I was younger compared to my kids today. I didn’t have a cell phone always stuck in my hand or in front of my face. The first cell phone I got was my freshman year of college. In high school I had a pager. Do you remember pagers? Basically, I would get a buzz on the little pager telling me a phone number to call. Or people would send me 8008S. Which looks like the word boobs. I know, stupid, right? Then yo...
