If You Want A Good Cringe

Warning: contains expletives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9abVzAkG4WE&feature=youtu.be Anti-SJWs view SJWs as rainbow haired idiots screaming anti-white, anti-male and anti-cis slurs at you. Which is of course not only utterly ridiculous, but strong projection - as you can see above, anti-SJWs tend to be sexist (and often racist and homophobic/transphobic) bigots. If you need any more proof, Ben Shapiro … Continue reading If You Want A Good Cringe →

The Origin of Married Names

It's something most of us never give a second though to - when a man and woman get married, the woman ditches her surname and adopts her husband's surname, which their children subsequently receive.

Doctor Strange & the Guardians

Blockbusters Reviewed

Welcome to the 41st edition of My Fortnightly Movie/TV Thoughts! Last fortnight, I reviewed Ant-Man (2015) and Captain America: Civil War (2016). This fortnight, I’m reviewing:

Doctor Strange (2016), rated M for fantasy themes, violence and coarse language
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), rated M for science fiction themes and violence

Those of course are the Australian ratings; in the United States, the ratings are:

Doctor Strange – PG-13 for sci-fi violence and action throughout, and an intense crash sequence
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 – PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language, and brief suggestive content

As usual, I’ll give the trailers at the end, along with a clip each. And as usual, I offer the following disclaimer, just to be safe:

WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD. PROCEED AT OWN RISK.

A third plane hit the Pentagon.That’s the official story, anyway. The disaster … Continue reading Remembering 9/11 →
