I like Straczynski + am a fan of B5 - enjoyed the ep on Legend just now. 1st thing I thought when I saw post re Goggins was, JMS will not let it pass w/out comment. Goggins may or may not be accurate, but still. There is room in his words for statement to be technically ok.
"O stony grey soil of Monaghan The laugh from my love you thieved" Blockbuster incoming.
The casting is exceptional. Look at this list. Guaranteed top performances & a good time. A good surprise seeing Leguizamo in the movie.
Being on Trump's wrong does not necessarily make someone 'good' or progressive. If Meloni was in the US she'd be on the Right. Treating your politics as being relative to whatever Trump's position is means your politics are subject to the whims of your purported opposition. bsky.app/profile/hedg...
I think I need to step away from Social Media. Or get psychological help. My TL..
My only quibble with the finale was the speed of Homelander's begging. Then I saw this and. Well. Fvck. What a wet wipe. bsky.app/profile/hedg...
I liked #TheBoys. Wasn't keen @ 1st. Came to like it. Seemed clear from get-go what the show aimed for with characters. Whole point about Homelander is that he is feeble w/out his powers. Threat w/ powers. Pathetic w/out. We see this. Analogy to danger of (re)gaining levers of power (45/47) in show.
Like, look at this sh1t. Unserious politics gives it credit it doesn't warrant. This is a Fvck You, and Haha, Fvck You some more that's bei g spoon fed & force fed down people's throats. Mr R's analogy of crashing the plane - killing all - looks optimistic. Just incredible stuff.
"Born #Onthisday 1923 in #Cork (at 22 Quaker Road) actor Edward Mulhare. The Mon boy featured in Knight Rider, Von Ryan's Express & many more. He died in 1997 in California & is buried in St Joseph's Cemetery #Cork #LoveCork #CorkLike www.corkbeo.ie/news/history... "
This used to bother me about #Heat for a while but the standard of criminal crews + 'hiring' sorta solves this. They have a core team. Hire extra when needed. Not corporate recruitment - work off word of people they literally trust w/ their lives. Got it wrong. Also brought in a driver late in day.
No way, Adam. The vfx planets these days are ruining Trek. Not a patch on the papier mache.
This has been the most obvious sh1t ever. bsky.app/profile/ryan...
Political bankruptcy post-2008 GFC. Seeking some cover for moving even further to the Right. Stomping on people who don't go along as being Left Wing or Woke. Intellectually dishonest, but power & money motivate. Reaction has won. Its sh1t but it has its devotees. Rulers are nonces. How great it is!
This is a State who doesn't believe in atonement. Its a State that is committed to inflicting cruelty on non-white people, though it has turned its attention to those white people as well.
Manufacturing a crisis so he can launch a wider crackdown. The US RW is so far to the Right now that this seems like a good idea. Them militarily occupying US cities is a demonstration of their politics and a further sign 'free & fair' elections are over. For however long.
Mount is a superb actor, but his politics are incredibly soft. Stand up ffs. 'Shared agenda' here is actually disgusting. He's only 'critical of' the Israeli government.
This is an exercise in and of power. People talk about projection + distraction, which per se may be true. However, they are also signalling what they are interested in. When the Right demonise someone they are demanding the power over that subject. Consolidating more and more power.
Trying to outdo the infamous TNG reset button. Why create a problem and then just wash it away? DS9 lept Trek forward. Seems like contemporary Trek is determined to just ignore all the good of that show in favour of doing things whether they make sense or not.
