This 'Boss' Isn't Get 'Cut' From Writing About Film Anytime Soon

Hard to believe that it's been about 3 years since I typed here. I apologize to myself for being lazy & not fulfilling my passion of letting my followers know of what films are worthwhile for them for each weekend. The halfway point of 2016 is almost here! With that, a lot of studios are doing their best to attract their intended audiences even if they have to ruin the surprise (see the last Captain America: Civil War trailer or the latest Barbershop: The Next Cut TV ad). This & next week is going to be a doozy, but I'm going to sum up on these films in particular that I'll go further into detail at a later date.

The Boss (2016): Hilarious yet insulting to business moguls & women. Peter Dinklage as Renault is a delight with his rival Michelle Darnell (played by Melissa McCarthy) containing the blunt attitude of Spy's Susan Cooper within her tale that's part-Dickie Roberts Former Child Star & part-reflection of the public's view of Girl Scouts minus the battling between the young ladies. THAT's thrown in the film to bring more laughter out from the audience who isn't turned off by the film at that point. It's also the prelude to The Purge that evolves into The Hunger Games years later without that post-apocalptic meltdown due to nature. Final score: 7.8/10

Barbershop: The Next Cut: A film where the writers mean well with wanting to have Calvin (played by actor/rapper Ice Cube) to bring the end of violence in the South Side of Chicago. The challenge is that the same writers also want to bring in more comedy to keep the film from being 100% serious. The result: a resounding thud featuring inconsistencies with events that occurred in the series' previous installments for starters to start. Continuing on with the film's issues, it features situations that can reach their satisfying conclusions if certain characters make time to speak with one another. Since said characters wait until the film collapses from exhaustion, the situations are given the title of the TV trope of being misunderstandings. The comedy is hit-or-miss with it being racist & sexist. It can also be fuel for a 4th film of the main series or Internet TV shows though no one is asking for it (or this film). Final Score: 3/10

Dead Animals Be Gone!!!

I'm sorry, but I can't deal with it anymore. I won't post what I'm about to discuss here because many people have queasy stomachs. Dead animal photos have been popular on the Internet for a while. It's impossible to find the exact date on when they've begun to pop up on social media networks, such as Facebook, but I can't wait for the date when the photos are eliminated from them all. Going back to FaceBook, with more family members getting connected to each other and with friends, no one wants to see a crushed cat carcass on their News Feed. In fact, rather than worrying so much about loss of stock (even though they're still important), Mr. Zuckerberg, how about you deal with getting rid of these particular images first?!

The Big Balloon Adventure is a BIG Waste

Geez, what a nightmare. After seeing the trailer of this film for the first time, rage and laughter continue to swim around my head. Back in the mid-'90's, the famous purple dinosaur and everyone's favorite beloved furry red monster stirred a mix of reactions in theaters. With Barney's Great Adventure and The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, the thought of another TV show for toddlers becoming another theatrical disappointment was, since then, transformed into having animated TV specials that took valuable time from Primetime line-ups on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel. With The Oogieloves in The Big Balloon Adventure, there aren't any words to describe how asinine. unneeded and disgusting a film featuring what look like The Doodlebops in their youth is to the eyes of a 23-year old who's seen much, MUCH better attempts to win a young audience. A film with zero advertising on TV from a studio thinking that advertising online to reach across the entire country as the best solution to gain said audience? Was this method passed on from the people who brought us Battlefield America and Women Thou Art Loosed: On the 7th Day? Using the Internet to spread the word about anything from the latest electronics to the cancellation of Jersey Shore is great, but ads on television help along with already having a built audience than JUST creating one. For instance, if The Oogieloves had a TV show and were well known, a movie featuring the abysmally created children wouldn't have been too bad considering the writers, director and the rest of the staff ready to make the production better than the current episodes on TV. Since they don't have a legacy of the likes of Dora the Explorer or the friendly neighbors on Sesame Street, it's going to be difficult for the studio (s) associated with the picture to make bank especially with regaining the budget that, according to boxofficemojo.com, is $20 million. so far, the film has made only $225,588 after one day of release. There's the possibility of the film making back the rest of its cash at a home where it should have been than being thrown in as a last minute attempt to have families spend what little time they have together this summer before it ends after Labor Day: at the local Dollar Store. It's not good enough to be sold on Wal-Mart's cheap DVD shelves or its bargain bin.

Another Hero Emerges Amidst Tragedy in Aurora, Colorado

In addition to what happened with the four-month baby and his sister being rescued by their mother, Ms. Patricia Legarreta, there was someone else who assisted with all of three to safety. At age 19, Jarell Brooks will be one of the people discussed at the work place and all social media outlets everywhere as he assisted with all three after Ms. Legarreta's husband drove off once he jumped over the balcony while escaping from the killer. According to ABC News, Mr. Brooks crawled on top of the young mother after being shot in one of his legs & using the other to get up and push the trio to safety. While Ms. Legarreta congratulates the young man for his bravery, it's the kids' father who should be looked down upon and filled with shame. Had he stayed with Mr. Brooks, he wouldn't be embarrassed at the fact that most people who've read both stories, the link from the last blog post and the one posted here, have seen him as one of the worst fathers in America. One Anonymous post from the popular forum web site 4chan.org within the /tv/ board, identified as No. 24485905 says it best:

"The running away in initial blind panic bit I can understand.
It's the getting out into the lobby, then the parking lot, then your car, then getting in, then starting it, then driving away, then having your girlfriend call to tell you she's been shot and could you please come back and pick her and the baby up. Oh and by the way a 19-yr old black guy saved our lives.

Ouch."

Ouch indeed.

Going to the Movies with Baby

It's been a while since the last time anything was posted on here. Whether the new post contained thoughts about a particular film or a certain event that unfolded in Maryland or anywhere else in the world, there's always been a nagging though in my head about wanting to be the first to bring said news to the people including the readers of this blog even if the number of them continues to be miniscule. Everyone, by now, has heard or read about the Aurora, Colorado mass shooting that injured many people in attendance for The Dark Knight Rises with 12 people reported deceased. Among the injured was a mother who rescued her two children; one of whom was 4 months old. Why do parents continue to bring their babies to films especially those with lots of action and sometimes is deep within comic book mythos that the children won't have an understanding about until they're much, MUCH older? Do some parents know the definition of a babysitter? Do they not have other older family members that can take care of the children especially when they're still fresh from the mother's womb? If the kids ended up deceased, not only would the blame go to the man behind this atrocious crime: 24-year old James Holmes, but it would have been the fault of the parents who thought of 'The Dark Knight Rises' as some sort of a family movie. It is when the children are of appropriate age to watch said cinema but not when they're very, very young.

Story about the heroic mother found here.

Subtracting the mass murder, the issue with parents bringing their young ones into theaters have always been a problem. If they were sitting to watch Ice Age: Continental Drift, that would be fine since it's rated PG and is filled with animated characters who, to some families, are still hilarious despite the series having gone off the deep end after the serious yet humorous first film back in 2002. If the families were to see Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, the film's also an excellent choice. What still doesn't pierce the minds of the adults is that they can't always bring their children to everything they want to see on the big screen. There's also the issue of the children becoming fussy which is normal but continues to be very distracting for other members of the audience trying to enjoy the film no matter the rating. In short, keep the little ones at home. If any adults want the children to find out about certain films, they'll have to wait until they're old enough to understand.

She's Not Even Worth It

Even if you're tired of 'Call Me Maybe', the news about Carly Rae Jespen having topless photos, by now, is as dull and inspired as the last Miley Cyrus photo scandal. I see this woman, who many people believe is Jespen, as a woman who's trying WAY too hard to be a voyeur. Her slightly-NSFW photos aren't even worth the trouble of liking in order to give her attention to take more of these poor attempts to turn on any man or woman. The real Carly Rae Jespen is more cuter than her even though she's yet to craft a song that will evolve anyone who avoided her hit single the 100+ times it played on the radio into a fan of hers. If this woman get lawyers banging on her door for a cease and desist for the posting of her photos, that's great news. Perhaps she will take the time off to come back into the World of the Internet grown-up in terms of perfecting better images in which case will get her an agent, a short-term porn film career and a shorter career if she decides to star in Hollywood films. Nah. She looks good enough for the $9.99 DVD bin in Wal-Mart though.

What's New PussyKat? Absolutely Nothing.

No matter what LordKat say about Spoony, he doesn't deserve to even live on the internet anymore. I may not have seen all of his videos and listened to his podcasts but to belittle Spoony and Angry Joe in the matter that he has done on YouTube should lead to the fans to not even bother with continuing to listen to every word that he says. Then again, if they decide to continue to be there for him, that's fine. That's their prerogative. He says that he's made bad mistakes in the past. This rant is the biggest that he's made making him a complete ass about himself. I can go on and on about what led up to the mania that has broken many fans' trust with not only LordKat but also Spoony and even Obscurus Lupa. That's right. I'm speaking for whoever have spoken about what has occurred on TGWTG.com while the man who have created the site to entertain all men and women who want to laugh about how terrible and how great some of the films, TV shows, and music are from our past and our current lives.

If you want to listen to said rant, you can hear it here.

What are your thoughts people?
