How does Matt Reeves Bat mobile stack up against it's predecessors?

This first photo looks cool and all, but just like the actor assigned to playing this iconic character, the car looks lightweight, slick and is really fast, but offers no protection, no power, no fear.

The overhead shot makes it even worse. This is supposed to be a young man ready to fight crime and he chooses this lightweight vehicle to do what....impress girls?

This looks really cool and yes it does look like a bat, but it offers no protection in the back and looks like Superman could just breath on it and it would fall apart

Now this is a bat mobile. A tumbler/tank able to defend itself , but cause mayhem and chaos. Seeing the Batman coming at you in this, will make you walk away from a life of crime.

Not quite as functional looking as the tumbler, but you are crime fighting when you are driving down the street in this. Looks like a jet fighter converted into a car...might be a little tight in there though...

Real reason NO TIME TO DIE was postponed.....again!!!! (OPINION PIECE)

The headlines will state that the upcoming Bond movie "No time to Die" is being postponed because of the Coronavirus. Sure that makes sense. A deadly virus that can be spread as easily as the flu, with more devastation i.e. Death. This is nothing to sneeze at  (pun intended). A theatrical release was out of the question, considering, you want everybody to go see the movie.Then there is China, which is the confirmed source of the virus and the biggest target for movies in terms of box office success. Oh and there is the issue of them struggling to contain the virus in a timely manner. Choosing to keep it quiet, till it got out of hand. Thanks China.

Headline alone, it looks like the producers of Bond decided to do the right thing and postpone this movie as a precaution, but when you look a little deeper, the upcoming curtain call for Daniel Craig was doomed from the start.  Plagued by delays,  in house conflict over the script and direction between previous director Danny Boyle (Trainspotting)  and  Craig and desperate attempts to  appease the #metoo movement by making Bond a stripped down, inferior clone of what he used to be. Craig and the producers even banned the term " Bond girls" long used to describe Bond's acquaintances on his missions. During Craig's turn as Bond, he has willingly allowed the character to be stripped of  his womanizing, globetrotting mayhem, sarcasm, fun and charisma.

So what do you do after stripping a character bare bones? How about replace him while he is in his prime. Bond still makes  billions of dollars, so the notion that he needed to be re branded is baffling. The final slap in the face to Bond fans, of which I am one, was the rumor that the new 007 would be a woman, a black women to be played by Loretta Lynn (Captain Marvel)                                                                                               "What?! Oh no you didn't!?" 
The rumor caused a shock and awe effect that backfired. Instead of it gaining support, it received mostly criticism. For years there had been calls for the next James Bond to be played by Idris Elba (Luther, The Wire),  a black actor who many felt would take the character to the next level of evolution. But instead the producers dismissed the notion and allowed the misstep to fester, opening the door for racist comments about Elba being too street to play Bond. They might as well have said Bond can't be black, but if we absolutely have to do it, Bond can be a black woman. How woke!

There is no proof of this, but our guess is Bond producers did the math and with a month to go to the release date, they realized there was minimal buzz about the upcoming movie. It wasn't trending long at #1 after the title release, nor after the teaser trailer, full trailer or even after Grammy winner Billie Eilish recorded the soundtrack .......NOTHING.  Bond, who had  survived Austin Powers, Jack Ryan, Jason Bourne, XXX,  Egsy, and Ethan Hunt, has now been undone by suits in the back, who lack the imagination to create an iconic character, but sure know how to  ruin one.

So don"t let the postponement of this movie due to the virus be the headline, this delay is merely a Hale Mary to save a movie that was going to under perform or even flop.

Lamar Jackson vs Bill Polian

Baltimore Ravens phenom Lamar Jackson has been voted first team all pro by 47 out of 50 pollsters, despite having one of the greatest single seasons a quarterback has ever had. Who are the notable omissions?? Former Colts GM Bill Polian.

Polian does not vote for Lamar.......

Polian had previously stated that Jackson was a running back not a quarterback, prior to him being drafted. Polian later apologized and admitted he made a mistake. Well obviously, he has not gotten over that with his latest act of not voting  for Jackson, when even a blind man could feel how dominant Jackson has been.

The shock is how does a buffoon like Polian have a vote?

Death by vending machine

 Pop quiz, kids, so you have change in your pocket and you are hungry at work, what do you do? 

The answer is pretty obvious, you spend that change on some sugar coated, processed to the core, wrapped goody that will not add anything positive to your life, let alone your teeth.

Then you sell yourself on the idea that the chips flavored and  colored to your satisfaction is healthy for you because it has salt not sugar.

Then there is soda, the seductive enemy of water. As if we are zombies, it tells us " water has no taste, try this new soda WAZAM!!!" pump that straight into your blood stream and brain, "what a rush!!!". We are all guilty of this manipulation that is unavoidable. Go anywhere and a vending machine is there to collect your small change gladly and hook you forever.

Kids, adults, it does not discriminate, it will own you and forever condemn good food to a slow death. 

Why spend hours preparing a meal that can be consumed in seconds??? 

Food for thought

Does China really need the US?

President Trump thumps his chest and tells the American people "guys, the Chinese are struggling worse than we are"...or something to that effect. He of course is referring to the trade war between China and the US.  An action that is supposed to stop the unfair trade balance that has heavily favored China.

But the question is....Does China really need the US? China has a strong foot hold in Africa. A continent mocked and ridiculed for being a "shithole", but has purchasing power and a consumer culture, that masks the everyday strife of living in Africa.... Not happy, go buy a new I phone....No light, no wahala....lets go buy a new car.....

Don't take our word for this, check this article out as a sample China+Africa= Kaching!

Founder of Alibaba and owner of Brooklyn Nets weighs in on NBA China problem

General Manager of NBA's Houston Rockets just caused a major stir. He tweeted his support for the protesters in Hong Kong. Hong Kong, which is not a sovereign nation and is part of China,  has been protesting for a little over month against mainland China and how they are being ruled.

To understand this fully, you need to read up on Hong Kong when it was under British rule and then handed over to China..... We can't do everything for you!!!! Google it!!!

Morey's unnecessary tweet has caused China to liquidate its very profitable relationship with the NBA and the Houston Rockets. To appease the Chinese, Houston Rockets star James Harden and the owner have apologized for the gaff. Even Morey himself has deleted the tweet and apologized.

It remains to be seen if it works.
