The Briar Patch

 The original Justice league was not a bad movie. Also the Zac Snyder cut is not really an amazing movie. It is pretty simple, the original was rushed out to compete with the Infinity War and that was just a bad idea... As I have said before. So let me quickly fix DC Man of Steel was awesome. If you wanted to make a DCEU MoS was a great start. It sets the darker tone than Marvel making it clear it isn't just going to be a clone of the MCU. The original Wonder Woman was also SO GOOD! Full disclosure I am a Marvel guy. DC never really did it for me. Superman was never a big thing and I honestly don't think to this day I own a Wonder Woman comic. These 2 movies actually made me care about DC. But right there you already screwed up DC! It went MoS, Bats V Supes (DoJ) then WW. Nope, WRONG if anything it should have been MoS, WW, a Batman movie then DoJ and DoJ should be considered the first Justice League movie. You got impatient, likely to keep up with Marvel and that screwed every...

So this one took a bit longer than I thought started a few weeks back. Between pup, school and such haven't had a chance to write as much sorry if some is dated....  So I made some people angry this week, online. Again. Edmonton had a COLD snap! I think it was record breaking. Our city put out emergency extreme weather plans for the homeless, which is a good idea. I am sure people could die pretty quick in this shit. Our furnace broke down and that was bad enough, I could not imagine being out in it. That's the background, now some more background. Edmonton's woke and hip progressive mayor Don wants us all to use the LRT to bike, to lower our TINY carbon footprint. I guess that's a noble goal. I mean it will mean nothing if the major nations don't but hey might as well try. I hate the LRT. In general its dirty and doesn't feel safe at night. Anyways if your from Edmonton you know where this is going. In the bitter cold the police kicked some homeless people out ...

Hey DC you need to give your head a shake. For real, about the big screen at least. I have heard that some of the television series are good. Like Arrow, Flash and Titans. I haven’t watched so I can’t comment but Gotham has gone to hell. That show had such potential, if they kept it gritty it might have lasted a few more seasons. Supergirl doesn’t catch my interest but at least they have a sampling on TV that is supposed to be decent. However DC is failing on the big screen, or so I think. The MCU launched in 2008, Iron Man started what is possibly the most successful studio in the last decade. Man of Steel in 2013 could have been the jump off point for the DCU but as of yet, it is not. It is failing. Now to be fair, the dark knight trilogy was still going on when the MCU launched and it was kick ass. Had it not been written to be a trilogy this could have been a great launch for DCU but it wasn’t so let’s not waste too much time on it but before I shit on DC I do have to say tha...

I know some things about myself that aren't always the best. I know I would be a "hanging" judge if I was a judge. If you commit the crime, you can do the time. Yes some laws I think are a total joke and I might give you a slap on the wrist. For example last week I was out running with my dog. My fiance says and pulled completely over (On the wrong side of the road , yes) to say hi.Not blocking traffic nothing. A By-law officer saw comes over and tells her all the tickets he could give her. Reads her license and insurance and all that. Really? Fricking really?! Now he was a decent guy gave her nothing but a warning so I am not complaining but literally I see this weekly or more people parked like that or whatever. I get it that's the rules but I can think of a million other things. Example the first, what about assholes who don't pick up after their dogs. (I DO!) If we are ticketing shit nail those fuckers. Especially the ones who do it in playground or fields kid...

I was reading a thread on Twitter again that got me scratching my head. About the Edmonton city police. Let me say I have no feelings on cops good or bad, really they are a none issue to me. Growing up in GP we only had the RCMP and they were great. Reasonable and fair. Ill say it I like the RCMP. Then I moved to Edmonton and a couple times I have been rather angry with the EPS. Like when I called in a stolen car and nothing was ever done. Or when two big cops used a friends head to open Essies bar door. She was just a tiny little woman BTW. But living and working in Ingewood, Queen Mary and Central McDougall I have seen really good cops to. So to me I guess it is like anything you can have good and you can have bad. Plus I will freely admit I "banged" Fuck the Police. I was one of them whit kids who thought Ice Cube was bad ass and it made suburban whites feel tough. It was years later I learned the actual reason for the song and still respect it. Anyways the whole thing w...
