Another night, another late not blog.
I’m not prepared to call this falling into old habits, but I am prepared to make it so it doesn’t get that way. I was intending to review Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but I want to settle my thoughts on the film first as well as make sure that those who read this (my partner included) don’t get any information about the film that they don’t want.
Bottom line: Good movie.
I will talk a little bit about Disney’s unfortunate purchase of 20th Century Fox. The idea that the Marvel universe can be rejoined is wonderful, but the consolidation of power is awful. It feels like another sign that everything is going to crap. Think about it: Net Neutrality is gone, companies are being allowed to form monopolies again, Crypto-currencies are primed to form a bubble larger than the .com and housing bubbles combined. All of this is pointing towards impending doom.
At least the football season is almost over and the 2017 Giants can finally rest in peace.
Some Thoughts:
- How can people openly laugh at the idea of Santa Claus being real, but hold on with all of their heart to the idea of God being real? I think it is very much as Fox Mulder suggested: We want to Believe.
