    on a serious note,  that is one thing that bothers me with current cinema.   You can back throughout cinema history and find  strong female characters  (hell, like 99% of Maureen O'Hara* characters alone, for example) who were compelling characters.    Girl Power has become a way to make a "strong" female character without making them compelling, or strong for that matter (other than as an informed attribute)
     
    *I could also go with Barbara Stanwyck, Katherine Hepburn, and a half a dozen others.

    I am at least vaguely aware of what has occurred with her character in recent comics.  Let's leave at decent concept*, horrible execution.
     
    *Joker is an abusive pile of crap, let's be honest.  So, I definitely like the idea of her getting away from him.

    Yeah, I have heard rumors Rotten Tomatoes ratings might be sometimes artificial.  Don t know, don't care enough to investigate.

    Bloomberg is a head scratcher for me.
     
    Note: The following is my opinion.
     
    "we're tired of having New York billionaire with tyrannical tendencies as President, so let's go get our own New York billionaire with tyrannical tendencies"
     
    He just doesn't seem to fit, to me.

    Badger got a reaction from Pariah in I have a dream. (and MAN was it wierd!)   
    I had a dream a couple of weeks ago, where my elementary school's music teacher when I was there, was trying to steal my soul.
     
    Which does sound like something she might do.

    of course, strength, comes in many variations, which probably speaks to modern Hollywood lack of vision.

    Anyway, for my post last night.  I just have to rant about it now and again, somewhere.  No bad intentions.
