I was kind of the same way with iZombie. I couldn't finish binging that. Just wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe it was because of the way I was used to seeing zombies. lol.

 

Couldn’t get over the fact that you are lusting over a corpse? LOL!!! Yeah, I haven’t seen the show, but I read the premise on Netflix.

 

Man... that’s asking a lot. Basically suffer through 2 seasons for it to get good?

Does this look familiar to anyone else?

I wasn't able to see it this weekend, but hopefully next weekend. I seen a lot of good reviews from those who went and seen it. And after slamming Will Smith was pleased with his performance. The good thing here is I don't have to worry about spoilers since we know this story already. lol.

 

For the months/weeks on twitter leading up to this release people of all stripes were just killing Smith over this. They just knew he was going to be awful. Some white guys in particular appeared to be affronted personally by Smith taking the place of Robin Williams. I mean it was probably almost as traumatic as Steve Rogers handing over his shield to Sam! One white lady with a decent following tweeted that Smith's career was guaranteed to be over once the movie opened and that Smith was an idiot and disrespectful by taking the role in the first place considering what went down with Williams. I told her to please pin that tweet to the top of her twitter account so people can see how well it aged, one way or another, in the coming weeks.

So I was particularly happy to read all the praise Smith was getting from people on twitter days before the reviews embargo was dropped. Smith is getting some of his best reviews of the past decade for this flick. I have no interest in seeing this (I don't care for these live action remakes) but I'm happy for Big Willie. Found out something else that happens with his character from a personal standpoint but I won't mention it here because its a spoiler.

Also I'm very happy for Naomi Smith who, thanks to this movie, sits at #2 on the IMDB Star Watch or whatever its called. Well, she would have been roughly that high regardless because lead women of a hit film typically pop up in IMDB's top five. However the great thing for Scott is that she is arguably getting the best raves of anyone in the film. And most importantly audiences are falling in love with her. Considering the hate she had been receiving for about a year now this is particularly rewarding. For those who don't know Scott has been taking abuse on social media from people who lambasted her casting because of her ethnicity. She is not Arabic or Mideastern like the guy playing Aladdin. She is of Indian ancestry. Now I can understand people being disappointed with that, in particular Arabic women who wanted to see a woman of their race represented on screen. But it had gotten ugly with folks practically invading every post Scott put out on her twitter and Instagram by attacking her and taunting her. Most of the charge were led by Woke members of society who were not Mideastern. What's even worse they kept labeling Scott as white because she's a British citizen and came from a family in which one of her parents is white. How does that make her white though in an era in which people of color claim every celebrity of color even if that celeb is biracial? I can't recall ever looking at a photo of Scott and thinking "oh, she's a white gal."

Interesting enough some of the harshest critics of Scott were black chicks who dismissed her as some white girl. That's funny considering half the black female icons they slurp over are biracial bitches with a white mom or a white dad. There's a rumor that one of those biracial icons, Zendaya, will be cast as the lead in the Little Mermaid. Okay by their own Woke standards, that would be eeven worse casting than Scott as Jasmine in Aladdin. Is Zendaya the person you think of when envisioning a pale-skin, redhead with light eyes? That's white female erasure if Disney goes through with that.

I've been hearing nothing but good things about this show, pre-release. The closest I've heard to a negative comment is a reviewer complaining that the entire season should be dropped at once (for bingeing), instead of releasing an episode a week.

 

Did the people offended for Robin Williams just not want the movie to ever be made? Because NOBODY could do what Williams did, and Williams is dead now. The smartest thing for Smith was to make it his own instead of doing a poor impression. I haven't seen the movie but may check it out on streaming.

I'm going to miss her. Krysten Ritter has done a MARVELOUS job playing Jessica Jones. I hate the way things unfolded and we never got that Luke and Jessica relationship the fans wanted, but I appreciate what the actors have done bringing these characters to live action.

I'm already sold on this, so I'm skipping this trailer to go into the show as fresh as possible. I'm still deciding if I'll watch the first episode immediately, or wait until I can binge several episodes.

 

That's about right.
