"...Here, We Treat Our Broads With Respect..."

 



I've never been interested in Superhero films or graphic novels. It's too hard for me to suspend belief. But like those who have faith that there is a god, some also believe there are super special individuals who can save us from ourselves. (Now would be a good time to show up) Supergirl will be in theaters on the 26th and the only reason this caught my interest was a blurb I saw in some news article where a maga type neanderthal said he wouldn't watch it because the woman who portrays Supergirl isn't *uckable. And I don't think he meant because she's so young. That doesn't seem to bother some men. She's not Xena, Warrior Princess, played by hot, Lucy Lawless, or Wonder Woman, Gal Gadot. 

As we have witnessed during the UFC cage fighting circus, the crowd was mostly young males who enjoy watching two men cuddle, hug and beat each other up. Most of the fighters look like they eat steroids for breakfast, lunch and dinner, then gnaw on raw meat. Again, I don't get the attraction to them or crime fighting super men. Each to their own, obviously. I don't figure they get the same reaction watching two women go at it. That calls for other chemical reactions. Maybe.

Depending on who you believe and what you read, women as superheroes fail to make a profit at the box office, with the exception of a few that did well. Wonder Woman did great, but remember, it also starred Chris Pine, a little something for the ladies. 

So, is the male species correct about needing a *uckable woman as a main character in a movie, especially one that probably attracts a certain demographic? 

I guess we'll see, and please, prove me wrong with my doomsaying prediction.

*The title quote is from the tv series, 'Lilyhammer,' starring Steven van Zandt as a Mafia snitch who goes to Norway to hide out. I thought the line was funny.

She's Still Dead

   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

The Best Books Of All Time?

Image
  😬 I consider myself an avid reader. Having noted that, there are very few books I have read from The Guardian's best 100 books of all time. My list is less than a dozen, even counting a few I started and never finished. 174 prominent writers participated in creating brain food for your pleasure. They each contributed ten of their favorite reads and someone somewhere somehow tabulated the favorites. Without further ado, the number one book of all time is ...... Middlemarch. The fucking hell it is. Lol. Like art, what you like is subjective. Some people believe Manga is good stuff. Others prefer historical novels, blah, blah, blah. I suppose the list is supposed to be taken more seriously because actual writers who make a living writing books have listed what they deemed the best read. I'm not a writer. I suppose like a musician who reads notes, understands the structure, the form, the timbre, they can recognize the whole. I just want a book that will entertain me and not try...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...
