Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Bring 'Em On

Well, I'm supposed to work today... maybe.  I ordered a new Samsung tablet that's supposed to arrive?  You guessed it, today.  The last thing I want is to have it waiting for me on my front porch while I sit quietly behind the flooring desk.  Oh, and today will be  quiet sit, mostly because rain is in the forecast.  We're supposed to hit a high in the lower 70's (F), but then the temps are supposed to drop.  This is part of that big thing which moved in from the Northwest a few days ago.  So, I'll call and tell them I'll be in after the tablet gets delivered.  If the delivery time is late, I'll just take the day off.

I went to see Eternals last evening.  I liked it... a lot.  I'm serious.  This movie has been getting some terrible reviews, complaints about the action scenes not skewing right with the personal storylines, one reviewer going so far as to say it's like watching 2 different movies spliced together poorly.  What you do get is a very diverse cast of characters with intimate storylines that make you think.  Thinking is a problem for some fans of superhero movies.  So is diversity.  Up until now, the Marvel Comics Universe has been populated by white Americans.  This movie not only changes that, it turns it upside down.  The truth is most of those giving bad reviews are simply not ready for the changes. Me?  I say bring 'em on.


I understand Loser #45 released some sort of hate filled, rambling statement yesterday regarding Biden's infrastructure win, damning it to Hell and back.  He claims it's a communist agenda.  He's such a dumb shit.  Communism died a long time ago.  Neither China nor Russia have a communist government, they're authoritarian.  MAGA's do not know that.  They never will.  What they dream about, however, is having a similar authoritarian government in America.  One in which they can say "shut up, we're in charge."  They also have no idea what kind of repercussions an authoritarian government would unleash in this country.  Americans have never been know to acquiesce quietly.  They do not understand the unified force they would be up against.

  1. I am not a big fan of superhero movies, except Deadpool, he is just plain funny. I don't mind diversity when it fits. I don't like it when it is forced.

    1. Diversity usually fails when the characters come across as one big, happy family. These characters are not that family, they clash, disagree, and argue.

  2. I like most superhero movies, but when I was reading the plot and story line of this movie it sounded way too intricately woven...my mind hurt.

    I think Ill wait till on demand.

    1. It's not that complicated, but you do have to pay attention, and there is a reveal not everyone will appreciate.

  3. I have never really gotten into these superhero movies, so I'll wait this one out and if it comes on cable and I've got nothing better to do ....

    Thing 45 had FOUR YEARS to do something on infrastructure and did nothing.
    Joe got it done, though not as perfectly as hoped, in ten months.

    1. It should be playing on Disney + in about 2-3 months.

      The infighting going on in the GOP over this legislature is interesting, they don't seem to understand, their hatred will have a price.

  4. Same with The Eternals. It's an origin story, so it's a little loaded, but apart from that, really cool. And it does go beyond the surface, so of course the fanboys are not pleased. And you are right about the unbearable whiteness of the superhero movie landscape. Damn.
    As for Cheeto and the Rethugs, they're pissed Uncle Joe managed to do something in spite of all their fuckery.

    XOXO

    3. I don't think you accurately understand the definition of unbearable.

  5. I showed my son the Eternals trailer but it didn't interest him but I think he is also not enthralled with the MCU as much as he was when he was 10. But we will most likely watch it on Disney+. We are going to watch Shang Chi next week while on Thanksgiving break and I am excited to check it out.

    1. I liked Shang Chi a lot. Since I have Disney, I might watch it again.
