Jar-Jar Binks talks about the backlash

Jar-Jar Binks talks about the backlash 

I will admit that I came close to suicide last year, I came very close.  I didn’t do it.  I understand what Ahmed Best went through.  The only problem I really can’t understand is that he was at the height of his career.  Why did the backlash get to him?  While the character WAS poorly written, it was his fault.  When I had those thoughts, I was at an extremely low point in my life.  I could only imagine reaching that high point in Ahmed’s career.   

Since I am more of anti-social person, people’s opinions of me don’t really matter.  I am not 100% sure what the narrative is today involving criticism.  Are we allow not to make fun of poorly written work just in case it endangers someone’s feelings?   This was probably one of the reasons Jar-Jar is barely in the last two movies.  He only has a cameo in EPIII 

Episode I had caused some major issues with the younger cast.  Natalie Portman had some issues on the set and there were rumors of her not being easy to get along.  Jake Lloyd went completely off the rails and went crazy.  

Ghostbuster 3, Okay, we'll see

Ghostbuster 3

This sort of came out of nowhere, but clearly, they've been working on a script and concepts for months. While I liked the GB 2016 movie, this is probably where the franchise should have gone. You breathe new blood into the franchise by branching off the canon. Make it fresh, just make sure you do within the established universe. 2016's GB should have been set in the same universe.

I can already see the press sharpening their pitchforks and getting ready to attack this “none-woke” GB movie. Actually, it has already started. I personally don't have much faith in the new movie, but it will probably be better than the 2016 version. GB3 needs to be better than GB2, which was a major step down from the first movie.  

Let this movie fail or win on its own and not get mixed into identity politics.  My advice for the producers and director is that be open to any ghost concept.  Just like the cartoon show, be open to various types of ghosts and demons.  Make it just as scary as it is funny.  

And, don't change the GB logo into the GBIII logo in the movie like they did in the second movie.  

In-universe, having the characters wear the "two" logo makes no sense.  They would just wear the same logo as before.  And, why would you want to rebrand?   Why is the damn ghost happy in the second logo?  He's being busted.  You don't have smiling roaches on side of a bug-busting van.  

And, yes someone did do a middle finger version of the logo.

Bandersnatch

Bandersnatch 

Okay, I decided to “watch/play” the Dark Mirror special.  I grew up in the 80s when there were a bunch of Choose Your Adventure books.  I always seemed to picked the terrible choices and ended up with the bad endings.  I spent about two hours choosing different paths and some of them went completely off the rails.  And, that is a lot of fun, and it is the same fun you have with Mass Effect series and the old text-based gaming series.  

Bandersnatch clearly pays tribute to this brand of storytelling.  It has that DM twist where the episode turns very meta and creepy depending on the story choices you make.  The balance between mind-f-ery and truly government conspiracy.  You have to make your own mind if the various things presented are real or not.  All of them have the support of being real within the world.   

You have time travel, a demon, and alt-times hinted at through the episode.  There are even hints of a Groundhog Day concept too!  And, there is even a damn special Netflix ending that even has major branching endings!  I am going to have to play around with the choices again as I replay the episode.   

The concept is brilliant and strange in that Dark Mirror manner.  The branching storytelling is really a neat idea and fun to take.  And, there certain other issues start to appear with the choices you make during your run.  Bandersnatch is fun and a throwback to the old school Choose Your Adventure stories.

Cody Lane: Follow up

Cody, you've been busy

A mugshot is not a selfie.  But, you're stilling looking good. 

Look, I like porn and I liked Cody Lane's time in the business. (Despite the fact she didn't really do interracial) Heck, she was a Louisville area local that made it big in porn valley for a few years. However, she has been known locally for her work outside of porn than her work inside locally. She's been arrested multiple times in the region by various police departments. Because I have written about her arrest record over the years, I've been known as the Cody Lane whisper of sorts.

I did some digging and found out she was arrested again and did I believe three years of probation that ended around 2016. She caught a Class D felony

From legal match ((A class D felony is the least serious grouping offelonies. ... In fact, many Class D felonies are victimless crimes. However, because a Class D felony is still a felony, it is associated with all of the penalties of a felony, including long jail sentences, extremely strict probation conditions, and fines. ))

Here's hoping she has gotten her life together and kept out of jail.

Note: When you have so many mugshots that you can do a time-lapse sequence, you've been in jail too much. (Before and After)

About this Gillette woke ad

About this Gillette woke ad

I honestly don't have a problem with the ad. Sure, it is virtue signaling to the Twitter crowd, but the ad is harmless if not stupid. People should go to their shaving company for woke-ness. Being a beta “cuck” myself, it is not “woke” or insulting to me.

Who knew shaving is now a way to learn something?

Now, I don't want products like Maxwell House telling I am a horrible person either.  You're not going to change the world with an ad unless you are Coke.

Kent The Return: And my thoughts about life

Kent The Return

I've been following Kent again and I had no idea that he started another channel. For me, I had a connection with Kent. I was a lot like Kent growing up. I had a lot of developmental issues which lead to social issues. Being a kid wasn't easy, but being a teenager was even worse. Like Kent, I had problems understanding girls and the dating scene. After a few bad relationship things, I had to put myself out of the dating thing and stopped pursuing women. I had to work on myself and that was more important.

The toughest thing growing up is realizing you're different than everyone else and you will never have a normal life.  Once you get through that part, you can cope but never recover.  

The biggest difference between Kent and I is that I think I have the humor to cope with my depression. I am a straight shooter, so I speak my mind. Anyone that knows me IRL knows that. I think Kent clamps up. Plus, Kent comes from the younger generation where they feel they're entitled to everything including sex with women.  Women aren't going to fall over to meet or talk to you.  Get over that and move on with what you have.  

While he's changed a bit, the WWE belt thing is a bit much. But, I like that he seems more mature and healthier. The issue is getting better is fine, but what happens when something bad happens to set you back? How do you stand against the tide? That's where we'll see if Kent has really changed.

I sent him a sub to his new channel and I will give him a thumbs up. I hope he doesn't revert back to classic Kent and start creeping on women again and yelling at his camera.  

Old school Kent below...

20 guys...that's a team. (NSFW)

I've been on the Internet for a long time and this story actually shocked me! Not even pornstars today generally go over ten guys, but this woman brags about having sex with 20 guys at the same time. I also raised an eyebrow when she said, “I wasn't in college”. Yeah, I don't doubt it.

The best part is that ONE ugly dude wanted to be number 21 and she told him to get out. Well, a lady has to have standards. Even in a free for all gangbang, ugly guys get dissed. Ugly dude, you really wanted sloppy 17ths? I am sure that ugly dude's ego was shattered.  However, I love that she shut him down.  You can't just sneak into a gangbang, dude.  There are rules to this crap.  

After she was done, she probably unlocked an achievement like in Xbox. Speaking of achievements, she bragged that her equipment wasn't damaged by the football team.

We live in amazing times.  

Ray Williams Johnson does a copy-strike

Ray Williams Johnson does a copy-strike 

Yeah, remember that name?  He was the guy that went over viral videos in the early days of YT.  He would sometimes get copyright strikes on his channel too.  I love that the behind the fair use lawsuit is now striking down users today.  Yep, he pulled a Mundane Matt and struck down a video that made fun of him.  

Can’t take the roast, RWJ?  Damn, this is Maddox and Mundane Matt all over again.  Dude, you are a grown man.  Stop acting like a butthurt little asshole.  You were known for this sort of shit in the 2010s.   

Make sure to check out the video that RWJ struck down.  

Amazon Scammer

Amazon Scammer 

Last night, I received a text.  I was hoping it was a hot woman or what not.  Instead, it was an “Amazon Alert”.  Someone was using or hacking into my Amazon account.  And, it showed some links.  I laughed and shrugged.  The problem is I have no Amazon account yet.  I never have.  The funny thing is I was thinking about getting an Amazon thing.  However, the phishing stuff is blatantly obvious.  Don’t talk to anyone that calls you about your Windows account.  

The Date From Hell

The Date From Hell 

I watched this train wreck of date as it progressively got worse.  I’ve had some really bad dates and did the wrong things.  I have never seen something this bad.  He kind of started it off badly due to asking her if she had money.  While I am a cheap guy, I do believe you should attempt to pay for the lady’s meal.   

Then, she gets really crazy and racist really fast.  And, I love that one of the comments in the live stream mentioned the polygon textures not loading thing and that was a major insult.  This lady is crazy.  

Don't go on Tinder dates unless it is for booty calls.  

Vape Store Clerk Freakout

Vape Store Clerk Freakout 

It is kind of sad that we are so torn apart by this shitty president.  The mere mention of Trump sends people into fever rage.  I also find it strange that wearing any Trump gear sends people into a blind rage.  Ten years ago, our past versions would be shocked in the manner we behave now.   

This clerk really wants to knock this guy out and is willing to lose their job over it.  This is an epic meltdown.  The kicker is the employee ended up losing his job.  The guy is screeching like the kid from Home Alone.   

From The Daily Caller, ((“To our friends and customers,” the post read, according to Breitbart. “Tonight, we had an employee act improperly toward a customer. Xhale City does not tolerate this kind of behavior from its employees. When we identified the employee at fault, we fired him immediately. We’ve also spoken to the customer and apologized. We value our clients and treat them with respect and dignity, regardless of their political views.”)) 

Trump won’t grow up, but we need to start acting a little better when we encounter other people with differing opinions than our own.  And, don't you know when someone is trolling you?
