    Remember to provide plenty of drugs, as that was the key to listening to the music, and sadly in Carrie Fisher's case, performing it.

    It occures to me that for a movie that is suppose to be anti-men is equally against women as well.  Black Canary is not the strong heroine living with the legacy of being the daughter of a great superheroine, and instead is a singer in a strip club.  Cassandra Cain is not the complex martial artist who took the mantle of Batgirl and instead is a thief who swallows a diamond.  Rene Montoya is not the touch police officer and instead is the angry older woman cliche who never gets the credit she thinks she deserves, and is a good 30 years older then she should be (and Rosie Perez!!!, was Wanda Sykes not available.)   And worst of all is Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, trying to be Madonna and mistaking idiocy with quirky, and is the cliche of the psycho ex which makes you wonder what the writers private lives are like.

    I admit I haven't in the Crisis TV shows.  I've cut the cable a long time ago, and I am not going to pay for umpteen millions streaming subscriptions to watch show for which I am not even the main target audience, but I remember the comic books series.  I grew up reading DC comics in the 70s, and I love the multiple universes where alternate of well known characters could co-exist.  I even use it for my super hero campaign.
     
    I read the Crisis books, and my feelings were mixed in regards to results.  First of all there was the killing off of favorite characters without the prospect that they were at least still alive in an alternate reality.  Then, there was the unintended consequences of creating plot holes and continuity errors that were as bad or worse than the ones they were trying get rid of.  Finally, they through away a lot interesting story potential by draconicly trying to make all characters comport to the current favored reality.  Frankly, I think it would have been interesting to see characters from different universes struggle as they cope with the confusing of adapting to the new universe.  Worst of all, I was one of the few fans at the time that actually liked the existence of multiple universes even if it did get a little confusing from time to time, but that goes back to no longer being apart of the main demographic that comic books publishers are aiming for.  That being said, I did like many of the changes.  I was also into a system called DC Heroes at the time, and in my head canon, the core DC universe at the time was just one of multiple universes where a Crisis like event occurred, and there was an infinite number of universes that remained completely unaffected by it.

    This reminds me of when Mayor Quimby introduced Leonard Nimoy at the opening of the Springfield Monorail.  
     
    "It looks like it could do warp seven,"  Nimoy said about the monorail.
     
    "And may the Force be with you!"  Quimby added.
     
    "Do you even know who I am?"  Nimoy asked.
     
    "I think so.  Weren't you one of the Little Rascals?"  Quimby replied.

    Graduated High school in 1982.  Flunked out of college in 1984, and worked a series of dead end jobs. At this point school didn't matter, other than to learn graphics, and animation skills, because...

    I went to Dance clubs. I played a huge amount of games. Got involved in a whole slew of gaming fanzines. Got invited to play with the Hero games folks, and got my first paid illustration gigs.  Worked in Comic books.  Worked the stands as an usher during the 84 Olympics, and saw Brazil beat Italy decisively in soccer. I started collecting the music I ran across in Clubs,  collecting orange crates full of  12 in. Dance singles and Motion Picture soundtracks.
     
    Lots of great action movies, and delectable Trash Cinema (The Sword & The Sorcerer), and I was healthy enough to eat anything (Jack in The Box Ultimate Cheese burgers, with a side of Bacon Cheddar Potato wedges.). Ronald Reagan broke the back of the Soviet union, and it collapsed 6 months after he left office. (Victory over Communism!) Went through three cars.   Started to travel to big conventions, like WorldCon, Gencon, and Comic-con.
     
    For me, the 80's were a grand, young person's Adventure, so I have to Grade it as an A!

    Of course the heroes couldn't go up against Palpatine after the second Death Star exploded.  I mean it would be crazy for him to have survived that.

    The desperate bid to change the movie's fortune by calling it Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey has failed, prompting the studio to change it yet again.  It will now be known as Marvel's Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey.  When asked about violating Marvels copyright a studio spokesman said "Copyright, Smopyright!"

    1.  The show is shot in Ireland making it the worst thing to be produced in that country since the DeLorean.
     
    2.  A desperate attempt to get Lucky Charms to sponsor the show.
     
    3.  Saint Patrick's prophecy of the Irish taking over the Universe in 2200 has come true.
     
    4.  The only way they could convince Patrick Stewart to work for CBS is to tell him he's doing Angela's Ashes.
     
    5.  The work of Leprechauns.
     
    6.  The Irish colonized Romulus.
     
    7.  The Writers only watched a Chief O'Brien focused Episode of Star Trek Deep Space Nine as research for the show.
     
    8.  It's all a Romulan Plot to confuse the audience.
     
    9.  CBS All Access doesn't really exist.  It's all a massive scam that "Produces" shows no one will ever want to watch.
     
    10.  They just don't care.
