Random Wax: 2024 Score Football Blaster

 2024 Score: Barry Sanders needs no introduction.  10X Pro Bowl and 6X All-Pro selection.  His stats are so fun to look through.  Just amazing.

I like the design on these, so they are always fun.  Nice pull in this box.

Great photo on this Celebration insert.

Rookies get their time to shine in multiple formats.  And we get to see the great Michigan Wolverine unis.

Some good QB rookie pulls even if I didn't get a Jayden Daniels.

League Leaders inserts including the back of one.  Some of these stats are a bit random but can be fun.  I think some of the old school cards with multiple players in the traditional categories would be more fun, but these have their place as well.

I like the photos on the Sack Attack inserts.

The backs are really colorful and pretty good sans complete stats.

I love retired greats and these all scratch the itch.  Andre Tippet was a 2X All-Pro, 5X All-Pro, and named to the All-1980s Team.

Fun.

Some retired great offensive linemen.  Joe Thomas was a beast.

That Patrick Mahomes is a Stars Parallel #/399.  Great pull and I like the look of those.

Fun box.  Great pull, variety, many PC guys and lots of retired greats.  I'll definitely do more Score.

The Dead Don't Hurt (2023)

The Dead Don't Hurt:  Another western me and pop watched lately.  Written, directed and produced by Viggo Mortensen, it's a non-traditional western in how it's presented and told but still very similar to what you'd expect.  I enjoyed the movie.  It's not the typical fighty fighty western movie.  At its core it's more about the couple starting a life in Nevada around the time of the civil war.  There are some familiar faces in the movie in supporting roles but Vicky Krieps and Viggo Mortenson are the main focus of the movie.  Their relationship is done well and they are fun together.  Unfortunately, local bad elements interrupt the peaceful lifestyle they are seeking.  It's definitely worth a watch but probably not one you need to put too high on your watch list.
