Kurt Hansen's Reviews
Mickey 17 is just as subtle as Trump
I mean, I'm by no means a fan of the orange man, but do we need to create unfunny parody films with the absolute douche Mark Ruffalo leading the charge? Do we need a movie to tell me how to think? How about one with yet another, tooth-gapped mixed couple happy and in love? I give up. This movie is absolute Hollywood cringe at its finest.

Well, at least it took a while.
I try extra hard to avoid all these shows, the modern binge-type show with mild to excessive liberal propaganda, but ended up watching The Pitt regardless. It's actually a good show. I'd even rate it higher if not for the inevitable late-in-the-season wokeness where we see gay men, of course, mixed, with their surrogate in the story. And I really want to just ask, why? Is there a reason we have to go all in on this stuff? Ugh.

Not too terrible. A fun watch. Kind of.
I understand Anya Taylor-Joy is 5'8" and looks to be about 40kg, so she really can't be slugging around huge guns and fighting monsters, but that doesn't count much in this film. So, no woke. No extraterrestrial love affairs, no crying rooms or apologies. The Gorge is somewhat a fun film.
The only issue is that it starts out with a super cool premise, but kind of falls apart in the middle and esp. the end. The story goes in a few different directions and I wasn't really too interested in the new plot turns. Is it wrong to say I think Anya Taylor-Joy is sexy? And she's cool in this film too. Worth a watch.

Surprisingly, not so bad
I went into this film thinking it might be kind of a cringy cop or FBI movie, just in general I guess. Rami is super cool, I've always like him in films. Turns out, it's an interesting if not all that groundbreaking plot, the story moves along well enough and it's quite fun. I can't say for sure if there were any lead FBI peeps or even the president of the United States of America as Native American Indian women or that nonsense. There might have been and it's been a while since I watched The Amateur, but I'll give it a woke-free pass.

Another Wes Anderson film about kind of nothing (if that's new)
I find myself a kind of Wes Anderson fan. Life Aquatic actually grew on me after a second viewing. Rushmore and Moonrise Kingdom were super fun. This movie doesn't have an agenda. To be honest, I'm not even sure if Wes Anderson is interested in woke ideology. Anyway, as far as that nonsense goes, it's great. The story isn't engaging, though, and there's quite a bit of Wes Anderson trope to be found.

Sneaks it in at the end. Or, so to speak.
If not for my wife, how would I ever know about these shows? I sat through an episode or two of the first season and kind of enjoyed it. Fast forward a few days of my wife binge watching and, poof, one of the main characters is now a gay. He rolls around in bed with some other dude and basically does gay things. How did he become gay? Was he hit by lightning? A bus? Who the hell knows.
I did notice a ton of sophomoric toilet humor that would really appeal to the thirteen year old in me, except I'm no longer that age. My wife noticed tons of penis scenes too but, lucky, I missed them. Does anyone want to see that? I know women have been running around naked in films for years, but let's face it, they kind of look a lot better than a dude with his junk hanging all out.

Sticking with Season 7 for this review
It's been a while, but I think I remember enjoying Black Mirror in the past, but let's let the past be the past. This is now, and it's the future! Yep. Episode 3 is about as mind-blowing shit woke as you can get. Pure propaganda. Mixed race lesbians and all. To be honest, I try and stay away from these modern shows, but I do remember that I liked Black Mirror at some point, but really? It's science fiction. Strange stories from the beyond! Can't these fools be happy with that?

*spoiler* Not for me
Thanks, 45Trump47 for the spoiler. Too bad I thought it was a joke. Anyhow, I made it about 45 minutes into this film and it's really not for me. And I distrust Hollywood when it comes to Catholic films since we all know how the libs feel about God and religion. I did sense a bit of Catholic bashing in the short time I watched. And Wikipedia tells me he is a hermaphrodite. An odd and relatively stupid plot point for me. They should have made him a fuzzy.

N00b Reacher Watcher opinions
I've said in my other reviews that I hardly ever start watching these types of series since they *immediately* turn man-on-man gay. I said, "self, let's see how long it takes" and turned on Reacher. So far, he's cool. Kicks ass. Note: I did not read the books. Going to keep watching and see how it goes :)

Thanks. I'm not going nuts. At least not yet.
Hey. Thanks, Michaels for the review. I was like, "Is it me?" or, "are these films just in-your-face propaganda?". Yeah. Not two minutes into the film we see gay men talking about the "best looking man I've ever seen" and giving each other sentimental kisses over the stove. Pioneer Woman would cry tears of, uh, sentimentality. And we can't bother to even sneak the gayness into the film, just bang it over our heads.
