On The 31st Day… No One Sent Me A Copy Of Section 31

It is the 31st of August in the year of our lord 2026… and it’s the time-honoured tradition of my declaration of not having watched the Section 31 streaming motion picture starring Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh.

Yep, we’re still doing this.

For what it’s worth, the only “physical” gift I got this year were a couple boxes of Magic: The Gathering cards that are TMNT-themed. Never played Magic before, but the cards look neat. Nobody sent me a DVD or Blu-Ray of this thing yet, so the movie remains unwatched.

I haven’t even touched Prime Video and will be letting my Paramount+ sub expire. Part of me is hopeful that it expires before Star Trek turns 60, so that I can see what BIG SWING the show has for the occasion. Hopefully, they’ll do a Star Trek episode; could sure use one of those.

On The 31st Day… I See Clearly… But Not Section 31

It is the 31st of July in the year of our lord 2026… and it’s the time-honoured tradition of my declaration of not having watched the Section 31 streaming motion picture starring Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh.

Yes, we are still doing this.

For how long?

As long as it takes…

As long as it takes what?

I don’t know. Until I feel like stopping.

Cool. And when will that be?

Fuck knows.

Oh.

All I know is that this amuses me.

Oh… fuck.

Yes.

I’m scared.

You should be, child.

On The 31st Day… CONFOUNDED! I Still Haven’t Watched Section 31!

It is the 31st of March in the year of our lord 2026… and it’s the time-honoured tradition of my declaration of not having watched the Section 31 streaming motion picture starring Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh.

Yep, we’re still doing this… and really, I haven’t had the urge to subscribe to any streaming channels. I’ve got a TV box to watch some local news and channels… and the rest I watch on Youtube and the occasional Prime because I have Prime to save on shipping.

Don’t even have an active Netflix subscription… but I do watch Plex. Plex is a good time. And it’s free.

On The 31st Day… The One-Year Anniversary Of My NOT Watching Section 31

It is January 31st of the year 2026… and we’re celebrating the one year anniversary of my first declaration that I have NOT watched the Star Trek: Section 31 streaming video motion picture film starring Academy Award Winner Michelle Yeoh. The fact that I managed a full year without watching that film should be a godsend… or is it god’s end?

Fuck you, RedLetterMedia for playing that clip during your re:view, which remains the only extensive exposure to Section 31 that I’ve had up to this point… and yes, I continue to not watch the movie. I suspect that sooner or later, the disk will show up on my doorstep and I’ll have to give it a watch.

Not because it’s my duty or anything, fuck no.

But rather I need to watch this thing once before I can use the disc as a drink coaster… maybe it’ll work out better than Fighting Force 2 did all those years ago.

On The Last Day Of 2025… Another Declaration Of Not Having Watched Section 31

It is the 31st of December of the year 2025 – otherwise known as New Year’s Eve – and I find myself astounded that I STILL have NOT watched the Star Trek: Section 31 streaming video motion picture film starring Academy Award Winner Michelle Yeoh.

Despite a two-month Paramount+ subscription period… I never found myself watching the film. Instead, I watched the completed run of Strange New Worlds instead… the third season that is a considerable step above the second’s swinging and shit. I haven’t gotten a disc copy for either my birthday OR as a Christmas gift. The threat of Section 31 no doubt looms in the distance, but we’re still… able to keep this thing going.

In any event, tomorrow is the Winners And Losers Of 2025 and I’ll give you a bit of a spoiler: Section 31 is the top Loser of the year… this despite the fact that I haven’t seen the bloody thing yet.

But when has that stopped me before?

Anyway, enjoy your New Year’s eve, everyone.

On All Hallow’s Eve… I Still Haven’t Watched Section 31.

It is October 31st of the year 2025… and it’s time for the semi-monthly declaration that I have NOT watched the Section 31 streaming video motion picture film starring Academy Award Winner Michelle Yeoh… because a buddy of mine who occasionally offers gag gifts for my birthday – which would have been the perfect time to strike with a disc copy of said movie – opted instead to give me a DVD set of the original TMNT cartoon.

If he had sent Section 31, you would probably be reading my thoughts on said film. But he didn’t. So you’re not. And so the tradition continues… such as it is.

In the meantime, however, if the current Trek television product isn’t getting you excited, might I suggest you redirect your forward sensors towards IDW’s comic output? They recently put out the first issue of their new series, Star Trek: The Last Starship, and it’s actually quite the hard sell for its overall concept that has me genuinely excited for new Trek. Also worthy of mention is their Red Shirts miniseries, which has been tremendous fun.

Maybe some day, I’ll give these further shine – and maybe talk up more of that Khan show, which I need to catch up on – but it goes to show that you don’t necessarily need Star Trek on screen to find good quality stories. As long as there’s enough quality material to dive into, I am more than content in putting off… what were we talking about again?

For the record, I have yet to open that TMNT DVD set… I’m almost afraid to revisit it.

On The 31st Day… Another Declaration Of NOT Watching Section 31

It is August 31st of the year 2025 and I have NOT watched the Section 31 streaming video motion picture film starring Academy Award Winner Michelle Yeoh.

I dodged a bullet… because I may or may not have mentioned that if a certain someone I knew had send me a DVD or Blu-Ray copy of this thing, then I would compel myself to watch it. I had a Paramount Plus subscription, but I mostly used that for Strange New Worlds and some old Trek reruns… and also some Turtles stuff.

Lo and behold – that certain someone who would send me gag gifts decided on a proper birthday gift instead – the complete TMNT 80s cartoon on DVD that he probably bought from one of the Toys R Us stores that are shutting down in Quebec… yes, it seems like even Canadian ownership couldn’t keep the TRU train running. Personally, I think it was the decision to ditch their video game stock in favor of bringing back another dead brand (HMV) to sell some minor stuff that you could probably get cheaper elsewhere.

So, yes… much to the chagrin of anyone who thinks this gag is starting to be a bit tiresome, the cycle continues.

On The 31st Day… I Continue To NOT Watch Section 31

It is July 31st of the year 2025 and I am following the 31st Rule Of Acquisition, which is to never make fun of a Ferengi’s mother. And why would I do that? She gave me good financial advice, such as not wasting money on a subscription service like Paramount Plus so that I can continue to NOT watch the Section 31 streaming motion picture starring Academy Award Winner Michelle Yeoh.

Though, to be honest, I didn’t need Ferengi to follow that advice. I was heeding that just fine beforehand. Still, I thanked her for the advice and the tube grubs.

On The 31st Day… A Declaration Of Not Having Watched Section 31

It is May 31st of the year 2025 and I am following previously established mandate that requires me to inform the readers of this blog that I have NOT watched the Section 31 movie starring Academy Award Winner Michelle Yeoh.

I am aware that it is on some semblance of physical media.

I’ve got better things to do with my money.

I’m helping myself to a Baconator today.
