So I'll keep this first one short and sweet.  I have a lot of things to say and I want to say...uh right them down.  It's like a blog journal if you will...the topics will be wide ranging so there will be no consistency whatsoever.  I'm passionate but pessimistic but faithful but cynical but humorous but kind but...I don't know where I was going with this....anyway, let's begin....

MeToo?

I guess this kinda all started with Bill Cosby.  It was brought to light but always implied that men with power use said power to garner, coerce, force, and/or assault women.  This is nothing new as it has even been glorified in movies and television over the years.  Bill's situation was different...there were "allegedly" drugs involved and numerous women came forward.  But why did it take so long for these women to come forward with allegations from as far as 30 years ago?   Because they got compensated and once the money ran out...then they were victims.  No I'm not trying to justify what he did in any capacity but the question has to be asked....did they put themselves in positions to get paid?  The media has labeled some of them as innocent encounters but many of them are "in his hotel room", "at his house", "in his dressing room".  There seems to be an air or naivety or complicity to some of these stories and alot of these women don...

What is sexy?

The current idea which I'm currently tossing around is....well, let's start with a brief backstory.  I have been watching a lot of movies (Pandemic) and I started looking up some of the actors (They're all actors now, not actors and actresses...I think it's strange only because I was accustomed to the designation and did not see it as demeaning but I could be speaking from an area of naivety, so I researched, I thought this was a good perspective - https://www.playbill.com/article/actor-vs-actress-self-esteem-com-101726).  So I as started down this research road, I started finding myself in these forums of who is sexist and all these sexual ranking systems.  I found it interesting only because they were explaining themsel...

Luke Cage

So I'm a bit of a nerd in that I like what most people deem "nerdy things".  One of the things on that list would be superheroes, more accurately, comic book superheroes.  It's a form of escapism I've indulged in for many years.  But now, superheroes and comic books are more socially and commercially accepted as ever.  To me, that's good and bad...good because it makes it less "nerdy" and also because when you get smart directors and actors behind the right project, it can take the genre to a whole new level.  Then there's the bad, as it becomes more socially acceptable, you can have any hack make a show or movie, slap a good actor on it, and make some straight up trash (I'm looking at you Batman vs. Superman).  We have definitely had some missteps but I still love and appreciate the genre.  Enter Luke Cage...a follow up to the highly successful "Daredevil" series on Netflix and less successful but still good "Jessica Jones...
