Mandilorian


I liked the first season of Mandalorian and then I liked the first episode of the second season. When I see Amy Sedaris I hear Princess Caroline from Bojack Horseman. 

I'm watching the latest episodes. Like the rollout of The Boys, and now The Expanse, the episodes need catching up on once in a while.

Season 2 Episode 3 is the guy from Breaking Bad, telling Bosch (Titus Welliver) what to do, and Kara Trace has red hair and takes off her helmet, a non helmet strict Mandalorian. 

The aliens are getting better, following Fascape, and Star Trek Discovery. They have a fish guy, an ant guy and a frog person. 

I was 10 in 1977 when Star Wars came out. I'll have a weird desire to see all their stuff. Just like Star Trek seems to be spawning multiple shows, Star Wars is spawning lots of movies and shows. It's almost too much, but during the Great Quarantine of 2020 we need entertainment. 

I feel like they watched every Samurai movie and then noted new things to try for Mandalorian. The Jedi are Zen Samurai, and the Sith are without ethics, Machiavels. Instead of the bang bang of shot 'em out Westerns, they're pew pew pew space cowboys.

Gina Carano is allegedly a Trumpy nut, a transphobe, and an anti-masker. I still find her thickness attractive somehow.

I can't help but think of Carl Weathers in Arrested Development.

Rosario Dawson fired a trans helper at the family compound, but I don't think she's anti-trans. 

Wagner was anti-semitic, and Hemingway was a shit to his family and the people who helped him up. Humans have clay feet. Not excuses, but also I'd like to see the list of unacceptable things and see if I even agree with it.

I have spoken.

Democracy or democrazy?

Admittedly the choice between corrupt democrats and corrupt republicans isn't the political choice I want. I'd rather vote my way towards fairness, elimination of poverty, anti-trust laws that fight the consolidation of corporations (you read about grocery stores lately?), education, infrastructure. What you do get is a vote for democrats that vote to end rail strikes ( source ) because they can't carve out of the profits a sick leave, versus reality denying, Russian bought, obstructionists who might lower taxes, and want smaller government. The Ron Swanson's of the world who hate government and work in government. I've been running into people who believe the corrupt choices aren't worth even making. Reasons not to pay attention.I've thought that a few times in my life, but I don't think that now.  There are real choices about health care for women, and even just an attitude towards democracy. It's hard to fight past the rhetoric, and understand eve...

Consent

You couldn't have a better title to a memoir in these times. You can read about Humbert Humbert, and other male narratives, but the female narrative of the statutory rape is fulfilled by this book. I feel slightly ill while reading this book. What she goes through is off, and it's hard to put a finger on it besides  Hebephilia . All the collaborating details from her mother, to her doctors, to her father. Vanessa Springora will be remembered for other things, she is a director and a publisher. I'm not sure if  Gabriel Matzneff will be remembered for other things. At least not on this side of the pond. I do have a kind of jealousy for the appreciation of the intellectual life in France.  Matzneff cites Lewis Carroll , and others as having the appreciation for youth. I read his Wikipedia page. That led to other questions about photographers who take pictures of their children. That led me down a creepy path. As much as Springora tries to not make it sexy, I wonder ho...
