Irene Adler

I adore her fashion. And this woman is down to earth, strong, never gave up, creative - Lady V is awesome. She doesn't compete with anyone except herself. How she can be the best she can be. I admire that.

I guess if you're a human being who has felt the sting of the patriarchy, or empathized with those who have been oppressed their entire lives, 24/7, then you've given this film 5 stars. If you're a human who doesn't like women having equal rights and equal pay and equal respect, or a pre-Constitutional Vote Ken doll - then you gave it 1 star. Which means this film has earned a 3 star rating. We're always less than perfect when we're divided. It looks like the patriarchy is still going strong - but Women's Liberation is still roaring. Thank Goddess!

Lady Tano is my favorite non-Jedi. I've always adored her, even when she was a young annoying teenager. I love her even more now. BUT -Even if you did watch the Clone Wars and Rebels, which I have, I hate to say this, but the show is so slowly paced, so stoic and wooden, that I have a hard time not fast forwarding over the long glances, the constant folded arms of Ahsoka (it makes her so condescending), the dumb decisions of the main characters which leads to all the stupidity - it's just so frustrating and boring. I can watch a 7 minute scene where no one leaves the room in a Tarantino movie and not get bored. But a 2 minute scene in Ahsoka seems like two hours. I really love Dave Filoni - what he did with the serialization of the Mandalorian in the first 2 seasons was genius and fun. But not now - because it's a long haul for each episode and it takes forever for the plot to move ahead. It's not as excremental as The Book of Boba Fett - that's for sure, but it's not more interesting. I blame Filoni's writing, the director's choices and I have to blame the editors as well. It looks like - if I ignore the first 3 episodes of Andor, it's still the best SWU opus, along with Rogue One. And to think, they didn't have any surprise guest stars - it was just a good story with a protagonist who didn't make dumb mistakes all the time. The writers need to remember that if they want us to like a character - they shouldn't make stupid decisions. By the way - I don't mind the "uncanny valley" look of Anakin. It doesn't matter to me. I don't care if the story is good. And that's a big IF.

I definitely was expecting some missteps - but you know what? I was pleasantly surprised. Though the sex and violence and gore seems far more gratuitous which will satisfy the bloodthirsty. However, I found it much more interesting when there was a distinct absence of those crutches.

Wow, I thought it was pretty awesome. Well-written, good dialogue, a good understanding of the Muslim American culture and a great intro to Ms. Marvel from the comics. The actress is perfect! I mean really perfect! But it's too bad that people are racist haters and don't like it just because she's Muslim. Because it's a good show - a hundred times better than the Falcon and the Winter Soldier. And at least as good as Wandavision and just a little below Loki. I love the show!

Ummmm.... okay. I thought there were a lot of slow parts for an action film. And I understand that Wanda wanted to protect her children from sickness or whatever, but she couldn't have done that even in this universe. It just seemed ahem, strange, that she wouldn't compromise time with her children and also letting America live. She could always contact America again since she's Scarlet Witch. And now what? So then I guess the Scarlet Witch is dead? So soon? She doesn't even get her own movie? The Scarlet Witch had sooooo much potential - and she got a good series and a Dr. Strange film and that's it? She's the most powerful being in the multiverse - and that's it? God, what a waste. So little Wanda for so much movie.

I love this show - but PTSD is a real thing - and Barry doesn't address it in a real way. And if Barry really does have PTSD, then what does this say about all the people who suffer from it. They have murderous rage issues? They're unstable anger-bots? I don't know. I hope that Barry is just a run of the mill psychopath. Because using PTSD as a plot device seems pretty evil, not to mention dangerous and unfair to those who suffer from it.

My favorite series of all time. And not just for sentimental reasons (my mother and I used to love to watch it together when I was a young girl, kind of hard to believe since it was so adult, but the 70s were a different time). Some of the acting is as hilarious as it is good. I love the overacting here and there. This was my first foray into Roman History, and though it's not entirely correct, it created a curiosity in me for all things Ancient Roman. The sets and the makeup are horrible, yes I know that prosthetics were first coming into use - but really, some of the actors look horrible. But WHO CARES when you have Derek Jacobi and Sian and Brian Blessed and Patrick Stewart on the screen - truly a great story, earnestly told and endlessly fascinating. Every time I see it, I think of my Mother and how we loved it together. "Oh Claudius - I want to be a GodDESS, Claudius."
