Good Mix Playing. I Had To.

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

To review:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend your cool...

Opening Credits: "I Won't Back Down"- Tom Petty. Cool!
Waking Up: "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues"- Neil Young. Again, cool!
First Day At School: "Bathwater"- No Doubt. I don't get it.
Falling In Love: "Goodbye to You"- Michelle Branch. Wouldn't this be a better "Break-up" song?
Fight Song: "See You When I Get There"- The Wallflowers. Actually, the song works.
Breaking Up: "Two Worlds"- Phil Collins. The title works but not really the lyrics.
Prom (Perhaps Grad Walk?): "Baby Grand"- Billy Joel and Ray Charles. That would work as a Grad Walk or Prom song but perhaps too cool for either of them...
Life Is Good: "High Enough"- Lisa Marie Presley. "...I'm not doing fine. I'm drowning in my mind again." Oh, yes, this song works...
Mental Breakdown: "Keep Pushin'"- REO Speedwagon. Trying to fight the breakdown from happening?
Driving: "Difficult Kind"- Sheryl Crow. Eh. I guess if it's introspective...
Flashback: "Breakaway"- Kelly Clarkson. Interesting.
Getting Back Together: "Break Me"- Jewel. Kinky but it so works...
Wedding: "You Got It"- Roy Orbison. Sweet choice.
Birth of A Child: "'Til We Run Out of Road"- Jewel. Oh, come on! You were doing so well!
Final Battle: "Ordinary Average Guy"- Joe Walsh. ::Headdesk::
Death Scene: "Piece of Clay"- Marvin Gaye. My father is going to shot me in the head?
Funeral Song: "If Only She Knew"- Michelle Branch. That figures...
End Credits: "Zing! Went The Strings Of My Heart."- Brent Spiner. Um, no...
2nd try: "Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman)"- Led Zeppelin. Well, this almost makes up for the last song. Almost.

Thor Or Thunderstrike?

Marvel screwed the pooch with the Thor  franchise from the beginning. They took the more modern notion that the Asgardians are aliens not gods. In itself, that's fine but I can't help but think that just made it more complicated not less. (Wonder Woman  just killed them off which is better but that's still a big nitpick from me about THAT movie...)

 I stopped regularly reading comics  after I graduated college in the early part of the century so I don't know when secret identities became passé but I think this also hurt the franchise. Originally, instead of dropping Thor on his head and giving him amnesia, Odin put him the mortal body of Donald Blake and then Eric Masterson. (Was that a complaint about Ghost Rider? Same concept really...)

In Thor: Ragnarok, to me, this '90's era of the comic where Eric Masterson WAS Thor was the best run of the comic and there were many Easter eggs from that period from Thor's Earth garb (with Mjolnir disguised as an umbrell…

Wasn't A Complete Punishment

Checking my Facebook Memories this morning, it is apparently the anniversary of my review of Jessica Jones.  In many reviews of  The Punisher,  Jessica Jones  is the pinnacle all other Marvel Netflix (or in some cases, Marvel shows on any network but that's a post for another time...) must be held to. I'll tell you straight out, I personally enjoyed both seasons of  Daredevil  more so... (Hell,  The Punisher  had a less annoying support cast...)

 For reasons I didn't consider back then and don't care about now, comic books in the '90's saw the creation of more violent  characters to presumably dispel the notion comics weren't just for kids. Ironman, Thor, Captain America and, perhaps ironically, Batman got more gritty counterparts and the Punisher (and Deadpool) was created. Like most superheroes, Frank Castle's origins begin with the death of a family member; in his case, ALL OF THEM. In comics, it was due to be caught in the crossfire of a mob shootout…

Sunday Morning Movie Review

Black Panther was great. Just as  Wonder Woman  gave little girls a superhero to "look up to," little African boys (Yes, not just African American  boys) have their own hero. But what was even better about this movie is that it was so much more. It wasn't a stereotypical Eddie Murphy or Whitney Houston movie.  Even 5, 8 years ago, we wanted this to happen but this might have been just the right time. T'Challa is king of the fictional African nation of Wakanda that millennia ago became rich in a fictional mineral called vibranium that allowed them to  become the most technologically advanced country on Earth. They decided to keep this secret, however, and disguised themselves with a cloaking shield and the guise of a "shithole country." (See? Relevance!)

Wakanda has reached a crossroads. Xenophobia is really no longer working. The villain of the movie, Wakandan by blood but certainly not upbringing, Killmonger, takes the throne in an effort to take the Black…
