So today my kids had school cancelled due to the snowstorm....yesterday. Thats a whole seperate blog. All this crap about being safe. The day of the storm, I get but today the roads are a tad icy and we cant move forward? what the hell? I rather send my kids to school today rather than have them trapped in elementary school prison in June when its nice out. They dont even learn anything at the end of the year anyway. Whats the point of going? snow days should be a gift from the gods. You get one you never make it up. Whats the point? if some kid has 180 days of 2nd grade vs. 175 days is that going to impact their life? Everyone eventually morphs into a moron anyway whos thinks their expereinces and opinons mean more than anyone else, so WTF are we doing here?
Anyway thats my rant, the lego batman movie was really good. I think I laughed more than my kids. Will Arnet was Batman's voice and Zach Galifianakis was the voice of the Joker, and that alone made the movie for me. Go see if it you have a snow day that shouldnt be a snow day in your area, otherwise it will probably be on demand in 8 weeks, so you can watch it then.
Netflix has done three Marvel Comics shows so far and Luke Cage is the thrird. Iron Fist comes out this weekend, so I had to get caught up and watch Luke Cage. If you watched Jessica Jones, you'll know that Luke Cage was her bartender boyfriend in a few episodes. Also Rosario Dawson (SO HOT!!!!!!!!, WANT TO TOUCH THE HINEY!:)) returns in the series in her role as the nurse that is always treating these superhero for their wounds. The action is awesome, the acting is great, the characters are great, the women are good looking and the storyline is great. You will not be disappointed watching this show. After watching all these shows on Netflix and HBO, I have no idea how regular television stays afloat? Why would anyone watch the Big Bang Theory when there are so many other options available?
Frontier is a Canadian show that Netflix owns the rights too. I gave this a try since I just decided to click on it randomly, it was one of those "recommended"shows for netflix. The show takes place in the late 1700's Northern Canada and is about the fur trade. The British basically own the whole trade, but they are competing with the French, the Natives, the Scots and also at the end of the series an American investor is starting to threaten the British trade. I know that sounds boring, but it's very well acted and you end up rooting for characters so thats why I loved it. Also its only 6 episodes so you can get thru the 1st season in a week. Some of the episodes can be a tad violent, so if you have a weak stomach, then I do not recommend the show. My best analogy is if you like the movie "the Patriot" you'll like this show.
This movie fucking sucked. Do yourself and do not watch it. Just donate the $5.99 to the Jimmy Fund or March of Dimes. Humanity will be better off because of that decision and you will not have wasted 120 minutes of your life. Honestly this one is on me, because usually Academy Award movies usually suck, but I figure this one would be one of the exceptions to the rule. I mean just LOOK at that poster! How could this movie be bad? Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, Forest Whittaker, that's a great cast. However I did not know that instead of explosions and battles with aliens, all the movie did is show the humans try to talk to the aliens for 2 straight hours. I dont even know what the whole point of it was. Honestly my mental toughness got me to the ending of this movie.
And I know its just a movie, but can you imagine in real life if this happened? Trump would blow them out of the sky before they even landed. There'd be no negotations. Radical Alien Terrorism would be eliminated before it even began. And honestly I wouldnt blame, us humans cant even find ways to get along and if you add aliens to the mix, forget about it. They land here and start taking our jobs and make us their slaves, its just game over for the human race.
I'll try to end on a high note here, with the best alien movie of all time. Trump had a decent speech last night, but it was childs play compared to Bill Pullman. I still get chills every time I listen to this and he's not even a real president.
