I hear rumors that in the last season they’ll give the queen a secret supervillain sister with evil mind control powers.

Hmmm... I sort’a kind’a almost enjoyed it. but I got the impression if I watched too much of this stuff it would rot my brain to the point where I’d be in danger of becoming a Trump voter.

The narrative problem is Marie died four years before the discovery of nuclear fission. She had no inkling that she had sowed the seeds for the possible destruction of the world. So that deprives the writer and viewer of the ‘twist ending’ of Marie realizing what she had wrought. If you want a Marie curie romance…

I recall an often-used stock photo on another site (Huffington Post?) where I wondered if the young women in the picture knew she would someday become the poster child for infidelity, sexual malfuction and six other embarrassing afflictions..

I think I made it through only one episode of Hawaii 50. I recall it just oozed ‘bro culture’. I recall referring to it as Hollywood gym rats play cops & robbers in Hawaii.

Y’know, films can have a female cast, a woman director, a woman-centric story line, and strong female leads without being obliged to hang the sign ‘Feminist’ around its neck. An indication of the success of the Feminist movement will be when women producing women-centric stories is ‘normalized’ without feeling the…

A short while ago I described right wingery as ‘performative assholery’. Its sadism dressed up as a political philosophy.

I remind people that NPR ‘Morning Edition’ gets a consistent 12x the listeners as Faux News gets viewers on its best day. Cable news show ratings is a contest for world’s tallest midget.

A flash from the past. Remember the day Epstein went to jail for sex crimes? Another instance where Carlson ‘went on vacation’ abruptly, and didn’t return until after Epstein was dead.

I’ve seen none of these and only heard of four of them. This has been a strange strange year.

Ah, the good old days of a Republican president who ONLY committed breaking-and-entering crimes to subvert the election, who put Roger Ailes and Dick Cheney into positions of power (compared to putting Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller into government), and who was only lightly anti-semitic. Those were more innocent…

It takes quite the acting chops to be able to mess up the line ‘You killed my sister’.

Hmmm... I’m not a fan of putting ‘stars’ who are in their 50s and 60s into roles better suited for ‘actors’ in their late 30s-40s.

Monarchies are just despotic tyrannies. The guy with the most power proclaims he now owns everyone and everything in the country because of some concocted ‘divine right’ from one fictional superbeing or another. If you disagree you’re branded a ‘traitor’ and you’re murdered.

Have you heard the latest? That guy who tried to assassinate a federal judge turned out to be a middle aged white Trump supporter who quotes Limbaugh. A small reminder, during the 2016 campaign Trump had called on his followers to assassinate federal judges (there’s only one definition of his infamous line ‘2nd…

None of these people are going to die. Their parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, teachers, and employers won’t be so lucky.

Tetsuo as a small time jerk with a bad attitude and inferiority complex who goes insane upon gaining unlimited power has its equivalent in 2020 America, even without him turning into a disgusting orange blob.

Former teenage rap ‘stars’, if they manage to survive into their 40s, are usually a sad bunch. Like former high school football jocks unable to let go of their past glories.

I wonder, if there was an investigation would we find either GOP or Russian money being funneled to West for pulling these distruptive stunts during an election year? Was it a coincidence that Kayne suddenly became chummy with Trump at the time that Trump was caught paying off minor black celebrities to be nice to him?

Netflix is pretty much worldwide. I doubt 72 million households is just a domestic number. If you include Indonesia, Pakistan, India etc. you can get some pretty inflated numbers for action movie releases. How does it compare to the numbers for the Indian action movie ‘Malang’?
