the Gozilla Trailer didn't suck

They overdubbed a narration from Robert Oppenheimer, yeah, that one, so someone remembers the original theme of the first film as Gojira being formed by radiation after nuclear bombs were dropped on Japan, and they kept the original kick ass design, but these were the same guys who wrote Pacific Rim, the movie with great design and visuals, and, that's all it had, for the much touted female protagonist was passive and got jettisoned so the guy could save the world alone - exactly as the other woman (not shown in the film) passed out so that the male pilot in her Jaeger could save the world. And the female scientist in the comic could save her lover, not due to her skills, but 'for love' GOD - I am still so pissed because I was so ready to get into that fandom.

My daughter wore what I wore in high school for her 'throwback' day

she's also a DD fan, but I promised her next year she can do steampunk!

your blast from the past

after checking out recent controversial videos like Blurred Lines, its good to take a look back - in this case 30 years - at how women were depicted, and yes, they are objectified, but note how the men are just as much eyecandy, shirtless and wearing makeup, and the women in DD videos always one-up the guys, they toy with them - the woman here may be akin to an animal, but so is the man, in ripped clothes and ersatz tribal markings, and look how the woman literally flips Simon onto his back into a submissive position. It’s a shame that 30 years later, we’ve gone backward in depictions of women in videos.

In other news, speaker of the House Boehner is now talking about merging the funding bill with the debt ceiling to give the Republicans 'leverage' ie: and even bigger gun, despite the fact that all economists are warning it will take us deeper into Recession than the Great Recession, oh what the hell, call it Depression, cos that's what it is.
