Captain Marvel


It is alright. I am now officially old, my teenage years are now the product of official nostalgia

So, yeah Blockbuster, Long distance carriers. Dial-up modems, Alta Vista search engine, and the CD ROM. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is on broadcast TV. Grunge, and some music I had forgotten,
Garbage was one of the few great bands of the 1990s. 

The Stan Lee cameo was really well done. It was great to see him reading the script to Mallrats

So, Captain Marvel is well acted. I note Annette Benning's performance, particularly the heel turn.
I thought she was aping Hilary Clinton

The Australian accent seems to have replaced the British one, as the non-American weird accent in Hollywood's ear. Also, did I see a little of Angel/Buffy with the Alien drinking a coke

I am getting bored by people having existential discussions when sparring

I think the problem is two-fold.

The more powerful a superhero the less interesting they are. I found the Dark Phoenix stories in the X-men dull, for the same reason. If you can do anything...

Brie Larson is not a big star. She just does not have the Charisma

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
