Batwoman (2019) Season 1, Episode 1

-

So, today I saw the first episode of Batwoman. So far, I have mixed feelings about this show. First off, as someone who is LGBT myself, I can't overlook the obvious stereotype of this lesbian character.Then again, sometimes we're never really that sure how much of the character, is the actor in real life. My first impression was that they tried hard to make her "Robin like," than a so called Batwoman. I wondered perhaps the tomboy(ish) look was to compensate/or match with the violent fight scenes. I guess I can understand that, because if she were more feminine, It would have given the appearance that she was a crazed man hating psycho (another lesbian stereotype).


Also, as someone who's LGBT, surprisingly, I am still getting used to seeing major LGBT characters. Not just any LGBT characters, but LGBT characters in major productions, being very out! Sometimes, I feel the "out-ness" of many of the LGBT characters are unrealistic. However, in the case of Batwoman, I must remember that it is in fact fantasy. I don't want to immediately pre-judge, but I really do hope that the show doesn't become solely about her being a lesbian. The viewer doesn't need to see 10 minutes of her kissing another woman to know she's lesbian. There was that split moment I was thinking "come on, get on with the story!" But, for now, so far, the good thing is that her being a lesbian fits the story line. One thing's for sure, this show has a lot of good fight scenes, and  a LOT of action!!

Hey Guys!! Did you know that there will be a Punky Brewster Reboot? Do we actually need a reboot of Punky Brewster? Honestly I'm not even sure if it's going to be a hit. These kids today are on a whole different level today. I just can't see it... Sorry. The only people that would watch it, are the parents that remember them, because they're curious. And even then, I can't see this show having good ratings, because those old school parents are going to expect the show to be a lot like the original; which is impossible if they're going to win today's younger audiences. So, Soleil Moon, is supposed to come back and star in the show. From my understanding, she is supposed to comeback with kids of her own, and will continue with the same story line. Actually, I heard that just about the entire cast is coming back. I was never a Punky Brewster fan, and I think this is a waist of time. I could be wrong but..... No.... This is one of those nostalgic mem

Hello Movie & TV Fans!!! This page is in essence my movie Facebook blog! You know, now more than ever, I believe that movie fans need each other! In the age of movie/On-Demand streaming & subscription services, not only did movies became more astronomically expensive, enjoyable movies also became harder to find. In addition, movies are also a long longer now; anywhere between an hour and a half, up to 3 and a half hours; that’s a lot taken from our lives to risk watching a bad movie. We can’t continue to spend a shit load of money for these services trying to find “good movies.” There is more movie content out here than what we as human beings can consume at one time. This is why movie blogs and YouTubers are still very important; to help each other make better decisions as to what movies and TV to watch. At this point, I don’t really see it as a “matter of taste” anymore. You can look at a particular genre and decide whether or not you’ll like a move. But
