Space WOKE…. I purchased a ticket, pop corn, and a cherry coke expecting to watch Good (USA) vs Evil (Russia) do battle on an international space station as the USA and Russia engage in an ill defined nuclear conflagration on earth. When Dr Kira Foster (Ariana DeBose,) a former Marine and a biologist reports aboard the I.S.S. she is greeted by the vessel’s American commander, Gordan Barrett (Chris Messina,) who inquires about Dr Foster’s “boyfriend,” an insensitive trigger for battle hardened Foster. Foster, with only the ships potty available as a “safe space” rebukes her commanding officer, Barrett, saying, “He’s not a ‘boy.’” Oh brother! Barrett cowers and says; “ I’m sorry I don’t know what got into me” or something like that. Well maybe the fact that they were weightless in space might have had something about it. This proud black woman couldn’t even lighten up in a zero gravity environment. The plot, primed by ground control units in Washington and Moscow to take the other guys out is pedestrian and unimaginative ‘except’ in the film’s unappetizing climax in which Good and Evil are jettisoned in the name of political correctness. As the credits rolled I could not stop thinking I.S.S. was a clever way of disguising the intended title of the film, ISIS, by which the old world order would be deconstructed. There is GOOD and there is EVIL even in space. I.S.S. misses that orbit. I

Space Jam 2 is a well made movie ‘but’ Lebron James wants it both ways. He supports the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement and has been an apologist for Communist China, a country that enslaves as many minorities as it murders. Lebron James is raking in the cash in our free United States. Perhaps he could be a little more thankful for growing up here rather than Haiti, Uganda, or any one of many countries run by dictators. God Bless America!

Read only if you are capable of critical thinking: The Head is a intriguing murder mystery on ice that lays bare the lies upon which the asinine Global Warming fiasco has been fabricated. To wit: Global Warming is a significant plot line. In Episode 6 Annika predicates her defense of Arthur Wilde on the charge of murder by arguing that ‘if’ the news of the murder gets out the Polaris program will be eviscerated. And...millions of tons of carbon will contribute to the supposed crisis of Globsl Warming. Annika prevails the crew decides to place Sarah Jackson in a storage building then burn it down. The alibi: she hit her head trying to escape the fire. This Global Warming narrative evaporates when the Polaris 6 crew returns to Polaris Five to collect radio gear. There's a fly in the ointment! Our Mother and Earth has warmed and cooled for billions of years before we inhabited her bountiful continents. . While Antartica is said to be losing its ice a record rate Polaris V remains well below the ice and must be dug out! This means that Antarctica had been gaining ice for some time. Keeping the planet clean living sustainable lives is a noble and worthy cause. The idea of sacrificing our primacy in the world for a climate catastrophe created by power mongering politicians and supported by useful idiots is nothing more than a circus for fools. Stop this nonsense!

I am really enjoying this series. It fires on all cylinders. Except in the 2nd episode 2nd season when Monica Dutton (Kelsey Chow) reads from Columbus’s new world lectures a white student on “critical race theory” with the intent to portray white Europeans as evil. That is a lot of bull manure! Arabs and Africans were major slave holders and traders. Slavery is slice and well on the African continent today! Don’t believe the hate mongers when they single out Europeans in order to make young Americans guilty. They are not guilty.

A classy “not so” futuristic series with solid acting, writing, and stunning CG. One complaint; there is a double-double standard with respect to Lu’s adulterous relationship with another woman. It is an effective trope. However, I doubt Lu would be the crew’s love hero if her affair was with a man. To be fair a tourniquet was placed to stop the gushing when Lu stated that she would wait to leave her family until her child Lei Lei had grown up. She would not act like a proud “gay” American abandoning their family to follow their bliss. All in, really enjoyable.
