I've heard an awful lot *about* this song recently, but I have never heard of it or the singer before whatever stink it caused in Tennessee the other day. Why should that make me (or you) a lesser person in the author's eyes?

“Human progress isn’t measured by industry. It’s measured by the value you place on a life. An unimportant life. A life without privilege. The boy who died on the river, that boy's value is your value. That's what defines an age. That's what defines a species." - The 12th Doctor, "Thin Ice"

Even pirating the show keeps it in the zeitgeist, bringing attention to the show and keeping it in the conversation. You may not watch on HBO, but someone you're talking to probably will be. Be mature. Be respectful. It's time to stop consuming Harry Potter.

HBO has released the trailer for the new Harry Potter series. I don't care how much you loved HP 20 years ago. Do. Not. Watch. This. Trailer. And DO. NOT. WATCH. THE. SHOW. Watching these only feeds Rowling's funds with which she oppresses Trans people.

Just saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Have to say, I think it might have displaced Spider-Man 2 as my favorite movie with the wall crawler. Not sure if I want to do a full blog about it, but damn. Such great characterizations and an interesting plot.

In 1985, Mattel introduced a new toy line spinning off from its incredibly popular He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. The new line featured the long-lost twin sister of series protagonist He-Man. The new series, She-Ra: Princess of Power, aimed its sights on girls who might have liked Masters of the Universe but wanted a role model of their own.

I just finished my first watch-through of Netflix's 2018 animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. That might be the best-plotted, best-acted, best animated animated series I've ever seen. The themes of love, redemption, and what it means to be a hero are so perfectly done. I may blog it.

The Odyssey: “Treat others as you wish to be treated.”
"Treat others how you wish to be treated," is a sentiment repeated throughout Christopher Nolan's epic, The Odyssey. Based on the epic poem attributed to the poet Homer (who may not even have existed), Nolan's Odyssey takes plenty of modern liberties with the source material. The Greeks speak in modern speech, using colloquialisms such as "dad," "daddy." and "f**k." The costumes are gorgeous but likely inaccurate to the time period in many cases.

As an avid Stargate fan, I hate to say it, but these fans are idiots. I get wanting to see the story continue, but really, it had kind of played out by the end. I want to see the concept treated in a fresh, new way if it has to be brought back.

In 1989, Doctor Who left the airwaves as the BBC cancelled the show after 26 seasons.Now, 37 years later, the BBC is putting the Doctor out to tender as they seek a new production company to take over for the departing Bad Wolf Productions. This process of tender and entering a new phase of production is predicted to take at least two years, if not longer.

Looper: No Fate but What We Make for Ourselves
This weekend, I watched what I now consider the best time travel movie I have ever seen, Rian Johnson's critically acclaimed Looper. Starring Joseph Gordon Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, and several other notable actors, Looper is the tale of Joe, a special kind of temporal hitman for the mob. When Joe in 2044 finds himself face to face with his future self, he faces an impossible choice: kill his future self, or let him get away and face torture and death in the here and now.

I have a weird passion for this one. I love the hard science fiction concepts and the humanistic themes. The music is outstanding. The directing is competent, even if it's not brilliant. The main place this movie suffers in is pacing. It's all over the place.

I would not say this as a slight to the talents of those previously involved. There's clearly talent. What is missing is a fundamental understanding that Trek, at its core, is about hope and the human spirit.
