What's Your Political Philosophy?
created with QuizFarm.com


The first time I took this quiz this past weekend, I was Green but I think this better fits my personality and voting for the Green party would be a throwaway vote even if I did agree with their policies. Honestly, I'd much rather keep out those who shouldn't be in office than put in those who should. In this day and age, it doesn't seem you can have it both ways. Looking ahead to the 2008 elections, right now, I think I'd vote for Hillary Clinton but I'd honestly not be that upset with John McCain as he's much more moderate than the current administration and, well, let's leave it at that...

An amusing note on the baseball front: I read in today's paper a quote from pitcher Matt Clement that said he played at Wrigley Field instead of Fenway Park. Was there more permanent damage from when he was hit in the head with that comebacker to the mound last season than people believed or is he just a moron?

And why has the media focused on the worry spots of Clement and Wells when Wakefield hasn't pitched stellarly either not mention that it was made painfully obvious recently that Beckett isn't as automatic as we were led to believe? True, Clement and Wells are big problems but most of the rotation is a problem so why minimize the blame?

I agree with you on the voting thing, and I'm definately a green party gal. And, wouldn't it be interesting if McCain was voted in....people are constantly telling my Dad he looks just like him. ;)

McCain and your father could be twins. I've thought that for awhile now...

Setup Complete

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…

Strange Times

No, this isn't about the election. I'm not ready to unlease that upon the world just yet.  Instead, allow me to share my thoughts on another fantastic entry into Marvel's cinematic universe.  Doctor Strange was the perfect blend of the tone we are used to and the adding of the supernatural world.

Friends on Facebook may have noticed my comment that the first part of  The Imitation Game  was unexpectedly hilarious due in large part to Benedict Cumberbatch's turn as Alan Turing so it comes as no surprise he's awesome as arrogant neurosurgeon (a redundant phrase in my personal experience.)

Doctor Strange, like Ghost Rider, is really not a character that lends itself to having a love interest but since it's an origin story, it worked here with  fellow surgeon Dr. Christine Palmer. Certainly better than in that movie... I've loved Rachel McAdams since The Family Stone  but I'm sure the character'll just go the route of Thor's Jane Foster and just be …

The Blog Comes Around

Went to see Logan yesterday. I had already read tweets claiming it was the "best X-men film to date" which, to be honest, is not the highest of bars to leap over.  After seeing it, I would go much further with my praise. It doesn't really have the feel of a comic book film at all. This leaves both Spider-man 2 and The Dark Knight  in the dust in this respect...

To me, it feels more like a post-apocalyptic film (a genre that seems to get more critical praise, or at least scrutiny, incidentally.)  You have a small group of people, last of their kind, making the journey to Eden. This is the trope found in that genre. Death and bleakness, found also in Westerns, is evident from the Johnny "Man in Black" Cash songbook and the inclusion of Elizabeth Rodriguez best known from the show Orange is the New Black! (Sure, possibly a coincidence but if not? Sweet!) Just because it includes characters from comic, I'm pretty sure award voters will not see it in this respec…
