Random Thoughts: Voting and Netflix Stuff

Goonies never say die, which is why they failed their German class.

The goal is to get to a society where we pretty much never think about race and just treat each other as equals, but people keep saying the way to get there is a detour through constantly think about race in absolutely everything.

Solo was a perfectly cromulent Star Wars movie.

Netflix suggests The Karate Kid Part III
“Why would you think I’d want to watch that?”
“Well, you just watched The Karate Kid Parts I and II.”
“I’m still not following.”

“There’s also one starring Hillary Swank.”
“That’s a lie.”

Why doesn’t the Democrats get canceled for being the party of slavery? Apparently the statute of limitations for canceling goes back to at least 1619.

Watching Back to the Future Part II with my kids. I’m trying to see what they predicted right about 2015. So far, just the TV aspect ratio.
This plays way differently now because when you see rich Biff, you instantly want to trust him since he reminds you of our successful president.

So exactly how much do we have to pay in reparations to never hear the phrase “white fragility” again?

I can’t imagine why some people say with a straight face that the solution is to “vote.” I can’t even imagine an outcome with the current choices to 2020 that will make things even marginally better.
It’s like our problem is that we’re being attacked by zombies and preyed on by vampires and our solution is to adjust the ratio of zombies to vampires.

Cultural appropriation isn’t a thing, and if you think it is, you’re a racist.

If you’re so against slavery, why do you still buy stuff from China?

You’re not “pro-science” if you put up total COVID-19 cases as if that’s some useful, informative metric by itself.

I only heard a lot of people say it wasn’t funny, but I enjoyed Space Force on Netflix. I liked all the characters, and the Carell/Malkovich dynamic was really good.
I didn’t care for the whole thing about his wife being in prison and they never tell you why. I had to Google to make sure I didn’t miss something. That’s dumb.

The Old Guard was such a paint by numbers action movie in the beginning, it bored me. I became more interested nearer the end.
I think thematically what it needed was seeing the Old Guard on a regular mission doing some good or something. We only ever saw them on the run and it never really establish why we were supposed to root for them (except through exposition).
I also saw that it’s the first comic book movie directed by a black woman, which I had trouble believing because there’s been a million billion comic book movies now. I guess bad old racist Hollywood for taking this long.

“They can’t delay Tenet because of a little virus!”
“Is a Christopher Nolan movie really worth killing grandma over?”
“Yes. Most of them, at least.”

They’re going spend hundreds of millions of dollars to get us to pick between Trump and Biden.

I don’t know about the Trump strategy of trying to paint Mr. Magoo as a radical extremist.

If you were impressed by that lady getting naked in front of Portland police, they have powerful protests like that every night at a strip club.

If you abolish the police, won’t the whole Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman type incident happen more often?
Actually, what happens when someone gets shot and there are no police? Anyone going to look into that, or do you just kind of shrug?

It’s Winchester, the coolest little dude!
