Mother of the year leave child in hot van... Some people should never be parents. When are we going to realize this? I would make a shitty parent, so I plan on having none.  You have to love the utter confusion on the mother's face when she comes out of the store and sees all the people and the cops. Why did she tale one child inside and leave the other one in the van? The mother was charged for this incident and now the father is taking care of the child.

The Lone Ranger (Part 2 of 2)  One of the most glaring things with the movie is that there is this subplot about nature being out of balance. Animals are behaving in strange way. We see rabbits eating other rabbits and other strange things with nature and creatures. The movie and Tonto keep bringing it up. There is even hints of cursed rocks and silver. And all this mystical stuff is very much real in the world of the movie. The movie even goes as far as hinting that the main villain has cursed powers. (His henchmen were supposed to have powers too.) However, none of this matters at the end of the story. All of this magical and cursed stuff is dropped without much fanfare. There is a reason for this. There was an entire subplot ripped out of the movie. The bad guys were supposed to have the powers of werewolves. As stupid as it sounds, the Lone Ranger remake was supposed to have werewolves. Now, it worked in the Pirates movies because the supernatural wa...

Uwe Boll Done with movies? I know that I am the guy that says follow your dreams, but I'v always wanted horrible director Uwe Boll to fail. I just want him to stop making movies based on VGs or movies period. Now, it looks like I might get my wish. His movie are bad...really bad. They not even in a “funny” bad way either. I tried watching Postal and stopped. In the Name of the King is horrid. I've taken poops better than most of his movies. Since that German loophole dried up for him, he's been having more problems getting funding for his shitty movies. So, where does a super-hack director go for funding? Crowd Funding... However, he can't even get the crowd-funding thing right.  He failed a few times getting funding for his movies . So, now Boll has a couple of rambling attacks against fans and crowd-funding sites via youtube. Way to keep it classy, Boll.  Enjoy Now, he's folding up his director's chair hopefully for good ...

The Lone Ranger   Uh, we already had a Jonah Hex or a Wild Wild West movie. Why do we need another modern action western? Now that I have finally watched the movie all the way through, I can safely say that the movie is highly flawed and uneven. There are some flourishes of good things that work, however there is also a huge chunk of a subplot taken out of the movie. The is a complete mess and some things really don't make sense. There are so many issues with the story that the entire thing is just an uneven shit-storm of a movie. While I enjoy long movies, this one really does feel overly long and drawn out. It wants to be an epic western with an epic length. And, it really hurts the movie a great deal. The other issues is the reasoning behind even making a Lone Ranger movie in the first place. No one was asking for a Lone Ranger movie, yet we got a major motion picture with a major budget. And, the movie actually bombed in the lone run. Johnny Depp, w...

There have been some videos recently of black people, like myself being pulled over.  And, I see they the way they're handling things.  First off, the same police rules don't apply to us. We are considered the enemy regardless of the action we take. Cops are always going to be a little bit more trigger happy than say a white person. They're looking for a reason to arrest us. Don't give them one. Don't argue with them: We'll always lose no matter what. Remember, you're the enemy in their eyes and want nothing more than to arrest you.  Yes, it shouldn't have to be this way, but this is reality.   It's tragic to see Sam DuBose get shot and killed like that. But, WE have to be the ones to control the situation. We have to be aware that at any moment that cop is going to arrest or shoot you. He probably going to jail anyway, but he had to power to keep the situation calm by just complying with the officer. If you were wrongly ar...

I am all for free speech, but Whoopi just needs to stop speaking for a while. It seems like she is hell bent on speaking her mind despite the facts. Bill Cosby has pretty much admitted her drugged and raped women. And, you don't settle unless there is some proof there. In way, Cosby is bringing down Whoopi as well. Why, Whoopi, why? Whoopi, there is proof now and you are allowed to change your stance. And, even she's changing her stance...a little .  I want that wise bartender from TNG, but she isn't really like that now.    

Taylor Swift vs. Nicki Minaj I think Swift is boring and bland, but I thought her Set It Off video was fun. Somehow, Swift has gotten into some dumb feud with Nicki. Nicki decided to add her two cents to the thing. However, I am starting to really dislike Nicki a whole lot. She seems so bitter for a woman that's been so successful and seems to snap at everyone. She got upset over nominations for the MTV Music Video Awards. MTVAwards, really? She aimed her strange anger over Talyor Swift. Like any other bitter person Nicki took to Twitter. ((If your video celebrates women with slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.)) First off, why are you upset over this shit? You've made millions off that shitty Anaconda song. Second, you CAN'T attack any woman for being skinny considering you USED to be that tiny, skinny woman early in your career. At some point you got a huge ass-implant and plastic surgery. With that hue fake ass, you made a ...

Dealing with depression   Saturday, I got into such a bad mood and deep depression that I couldn't move or eat for a while. And, the sad thing is it stayed with me all day and night. I've never felt this way before and it shocked me how dark I got. People close to me and co-workers are telling me to get counseling and I hear them. They're right, because I am at an all time low. Everything seems to be going to shit. I've had three family members die within the past six months. One hit me pretty hard and the other just ruined this year. Then, I am stuck in a job I am completely unhappy with to the point just being there makes me cringe. However, there is another darker element that tells me things won't get better. Given the past event, I just not hopeful things will turn around for me. I feel a constant frown and just sadness. Anyway, back to blogging.

First off, I was never a fan of the original Annie, but I wanted to see what an ethnically diverse version of Annie had to offer.  I know that Will Smith wanted a female lead character that people of color could look up to, but this movie fails at everything that I don't think young blacks will be interested.  So in that regard, the movie fails with getting that message across.   It's the same damn movie with some names changed and the songs "updated" with some modern "flavor".   I know this movie was spearheaded by Will Smith and I know that he wanted Willow Smith in the lead role.  Willow turning down the role was probably the smartest thing she's done since cutting off her hair.   The movie has a white redheaded girl named Annie that behaves and looks just like the original.  Her classmates hate her and Annie B takes the stage and shows some attitude, basically saying, "This is not your father's Annie".  Then the movie procee...
