Cher Goes MAGA

Posted by Mary Chastain on April 15, 2019 50 Comments

President Donald Trump tweeted on Friday that he is "giving strong considerations" to the idea of sending illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities, which includes many in California. Cher balked at the idea, but not for reasons you may think. She complained, rightfully, that her city of Los Angeles should first do something with the tens of thousands of homeless people.

‘Seattle is Dying’ Special Shows a City Gripped by Homelessness and Drug Abuse

Posted by Mike LaChance on March 20, 2019 44 Comments

Seattle is in the midst of a crisis. Tent camps have become a common sight, along with homeless people, many of whom suffer from drug addiction, mental illness or both. We recently ran a post about the frustration of police officers in Seattle and how some of them are even resigning because they feel like they're not being allowed to do their jobs. A special program from KOMO News called "Seattle is Dying" examined these and other issues. The city's leadership doesn't seem to be doing anything about it and quite a few residents have had it.

In a surprising twist, James Gunn will be returning to helm the director's chair once again for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. James Gunn became infamous in July of last year as the result of dozens of rancid and offensive tweets in which Gunn made crude and unfunny jokes about rape and pedophilia.

Rotten Tomatoes Won’t Show ‘Want to See’ Ratings After People Trash Captain Marvel

Posted by Mary Chastain on February 27, 2019 51 Comments

Rotten Tomatoes had an option for people to vote on movies they want to see before the release. Since people have trashed Captain Marvel and Star Wars: Episode XI, the movie rating site has decided to remove it as a way to fight so-called trolls. So I guess now when people don't want to see what should be popular movies they are trolls. I guess it has absolutely nothing to do with Captain Marvel star Brie Larson's trashing of white males and the fact that The Last Jedi sucked.

In my review for Geeks Under Grace I talked about how the film as a whole was continuing the franchise's exploration of maturity and expanding on it in interesting ways.
