#TrailerAlert: The Doorman is off-brand Die Hard.
Ruby Rose is not John McClane. I’d be foolish to accept this.
If I was on a long flight I’d watch it but I’m so not investing any money in it: showing this the door.
October 9 doesn’t matter where.

This week has lots of excellent TV recommendations we just sadly end on a somber note with a Chadwick Boseman movie. I mean that whole thing is strange. Thankfully there’s lots of tv to distract and help process that.

Lowe: OKC’s jersey patch deal completes sponsorship for all 30 teams
I’ve been thinking about advertising since the NBA restarted.
To attend an NBA game is to accept a bombarded of logos from insecure corporations. Thankfully with the Orlando Restart most of that has been stripped away.
However and this is from March 2019 is there any…metric…any proof of any kind the NBA patches work?!

Though I do not mention it; there are as always NBA Playoffs games unfolding every night. However, I wisely realized that if that’s all I wrote for each day I’d alienate my readers. That’s what the puns are for! Plus it turns out there is TV to watch on other channels.

What [he] does not know: The virus doesn’t herald the end of the world, or of the United States, or even of the commonwealth of Massachusetts. In the coming days, conditions will continue to deteriorate. Emergency services and other public safety nets will be stretched to their breaking point, exacerbated by the wily antagonists of fear, panic, misinformation; a myopic, sluggish federal bureaucracy further hamstrung by a president unwilling and woefully unequipped to make the rational, science-based decisions necessary; and exacerbated, of course, by plain old individual everyday evil. But there will be many heroes, too, including ones who don’t view themselves as such.

Today is DC Fandome!
The festivities begin at 1pm EST. (Team EST!!).
Because a large chunk of nerd shindig is so movie-centric (Wonder Woman! The Flash! The Batman! The Suicide Squad! Black Adam!) this feels like a full-court press.
MCU is (literally) on pause so this is the best window for DC Films to strike.
Will this work?
What does success look like for DC Films (and no not in comparison to Marvel Movies.).
Let’s do this thing! Attached is some of the schedule; here’s the rest.

Amazon release this trailer for this documentary on voting and voter suppression in America this afternoon.
Americans are addicted to “vote!!” as an effective solution but voting has no value if the candidates are lousy. When the system forces voters to choose between Trump or Hillary it’s not clearly not good; it’s clearly not working.
You’re really honestly telling me those are the 2 best choices to represent 300 million people?!
The way the candidates are selected (in America and in Canada); the way we present them…the media all of that needs to be overhauled. In everything else we can research reviews…from cities we’re flying to; to a washer…to a book…there are reviews and opinions and recommendations and suggestions so people can avoid mistakes or bad choices. We don’t really do that properly with political candidates.
The debate used to be can you do more good outside the system or should you get elected and attempt to change the system from within. Now it’s obvious no good comes from within the system.
So yeah voter suppression is a major issue and yes it is racist but if the choices suck that’s not good either. So I hope this doc addresses some/all of that.
All In: The Fight For Democracy is on Amazon Prime on September 18. I’m In! I’ll make some tea and chill with this.
