Self-Awareness: The Backbone of the MCU
Even as a fan of the Marvel Universe, sometimes it’s difficult not to feel as though we’re being completely inundated with new projects, movies and shows. Since the start of the pandemic alone, Marvel has released more than ten blockbuster movies — and that’s without even mentioning their burgeoning world of new TV shows. From Loki and Wandavision to Hawkeye and the increasingly notorious She Hulk: Attorney At Law, Marvel fans have had a lot to keep up with in recent months.

My Review of "Life or Something Like it"
Life or Something Like it is a romantic comedy that came out back in 2002. I thought the idea of this movie was pretty interesting. Also you can't really take your eyes off Angelina Jolie. This was probably the prime of her popularity in films at the time. She plays the main character in this movie and I can kind of see why she agreed to take the role.

Max Fleischer's SUPERMAN
I watched all seventeen short episodes of Max Fleischer's excellent, excellent "Superman" series from the early Forties, from start to finish. They were great, well-animated, slam-bang actioners the lot of them, and, although there was little plot to get in the way of the derring-do, they were all that much more a visceral bang of enjoyment, an old-fashioned childlike pulp fiction, comic book dive into all-American costumed hero mythology.

Gen V
Alright folks we have reached the end of the first season of Gen V. We know that this finale will lead pretty much right into the next season of The Boys that is prepped for a 2024 release. When we left off last episode there were a few vials of this supe killing virus left and it is now in the hands of a politician, so that’s gonna end well. These kids also all know what’s been going on and dean Sheddy is dead. Oh right, and also Polarity is in the hospital for an unknown reason. So there is kind of a lot to wrap up in this last episode and set up if there is to be a second season. So here we go with the Gen V season finale.

My Review of "Quiz Lady"
Quiz Lady is a very awkward comedy that recently came out. It normally would not be a movie that I'd like to explore but I do like the two leading ladies, Akwafina and Sandra Oh. I had to give this one a try at least, even though the whole idea didn't look that interesting to me.

My Review of "Gen V: Season 1"
Gen V: Season 1 has finally concluded on Amazon Prime. It's a off-shoot story in the same world as "The Boys". Don't worry you don't have to watch through "The Boys" to understand what's going on in this TV show. Although, it would help you a great deal if you did. If you're already a fan of "The Boys" tv series then you'll feel right at home with this one.

"Remember, Remember, the Fifth of November...". Top Story - November 2023.
"The State sanctifies its own violence as law. Yours it calls crime." Max Stirner I've quoted the above little observation by proto-anarchist and egoist Max Stirner, author of The Ego and What it Possesses, many, many times; perhaps too often, but there is no other way I could think to introduce an essay on Alan Moore's V for Vendetta, the most important graphic novel ever penned, a book so transcendent in its scope, so vast in its vision of humanity (both dark and light), it has become a piece of cultural iconography. The Guy Fawkes Face Mask is now an endemic, ubiquitous symbol of covert rebellion. Adopted by the Anonymous hacker group, it has gone the rounds of the internet and the face of the globe, a way for the most radical and dedicated and subversive elements of cultural fuckery to disguise themselves, as well as meld into one single "hive mind"; a collective unit pushing against repression and corruption; or, alternately, pushing the world forward past the edge of the envelope of nihilistic rebellion. V for Vendetta, more than any other single comic book creation I can think of (outside of Superman and Batman) has transcended the realm of mere entertainment into having a permanent place in the cultural zeitgeist.

My Review of "You're So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah"
You're So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah is an exclusive comedy streaming from Netflix. I have to be honest I didn't actually want to see this movie. There was a whole bunch of buzz from people telling me that it was a good movie and I had to give it a try. Thankfully they did because I was pleasantly surprised and truly felt joy while watching this movie.
