I saw both Matt Damon and Ben Affleck yesterday. My father and I went to see The Bourne Supremacy and I think we both really enjoyed it. It was very good indeed. I am curious why they changed the frame up to Russian Mafia as opposed to Chinese politician that was in the book, however. Relations with the Chinese aren't all that different now than they were in the 80's when the book was written. My father pointed out it's easier to take a train to Moscow from Berlin... Affleck was interviewed during the Red Sox game last night. (Good game by the way.) Why the hell are they allowing him to speak at the Democratic Convention? And those rumors about him and Jennifer Garner in Canada better be false... Speaking of the Sox game, ESPN, though they kiss Yankee ass whenever they can get away with it, they at least try to be impartial. Fox, on the other hand, seem to want to be sodomized by Yankee bats...If you watch a game where the Yankees aren't even playing they will be brought up probably more than once. We really shouldn't be that surprised since Fox News sucks up to the current administration but I find it totally disgusting and way unprofessional. Did you see the Mets game last weekend I think it was when they were interviewing John Franco and they asked him if he'd like to pitch for they Yankees? Very stupid question indeed. Stargate SG-1 was surprising this good this week. I never thought of Anubis coming back at all. With O'Neill now base commander, this season should be very interesting indeed. Stargate Atlantis was able to show a way there show is original. I really cannot think of any show that has a team take over an abandoned alien base that no one knows anything about. It's pretty cool if you ask me.
When I wrote my blog post on the previous Netflix series, Luke Cage, I noted it was only about 90% as dark as Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Iron Fist is only about 90% as dark as that series.While that does make me question the Mature rating, I have no problem with that.
I feel in the mood to structure at least the beginning of this review on my feelings on complaints I've heard
1. The acting and writing: I'm sure my bar is lower than others but I feel people who feel the strongest about this have never watched movies on Lifetime or Hallmark. (Oddly, I read a comment on Twitter from a complainer that he had higher hopes for Cloak and Dagger on Freeform than Inhumans on ABC. Special effects budget, sure but writing and acting? I think that's an iffy wager at best but I digress.)
Finn Jones and Jessica Henwick are great as Danny Rand and Colleen Wing. Danny to me is just as a 25 year old man who spent 15 years cut off from the world as he knew it in a monastery (think ster…
