TV/Movies / Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by samistry(m): 8:23am On Apr 12, 2023
FBS:
Ok so I am sorta enjoying Ted Lasso TV show.
I enjoy the bantr (see what I did there huh? lol), the dialogues, acting - really good stuff but the social messages is starting to annoy me.

This is football, it's a man's game yet men are portrayed to be mostly incompetent, eediiots, egocentric, dirty, emotional and dysfunctional ninnies.

It's ok for an older woman to shag a boy half her age and be praised for it as a B.A.B but when a man does it, it's a crime and will be labelled as a dog if lucky not to be jailed or sacked.
It's ok for woman to be dating the family therapist but nah, a man can't do that. All he does is beg her to come back.
In short, women are perfect, can do no wrong but men are just there to as furniture.

Whatever happened to having a balanced script?

And the last straw was S3E3.

pfff!


Off to the library to get more books. cheesy
All this tantrum over a football parody wey no be serious HBO drama. As for the women being perfect. Wasn't Rebecca initially portrayed as being vengeful and vindictive over her ex, before learning to forgive.
Keely initially an airhead groupie without purpose before finding something she was good at which is being advertising and branding. Jamie Tart was a primadonna who learnt to get along with the team.
There are no perfect characters in the series, just human beings with their flaws.
As for the LGBT content, as annoying as e be that one is present is almost every western series now but I'd rather focus on how on how they portray Nigeria in a positive light.

Bye Bye e career.
Ezra Miller identify as lbgtq non binary. Therefore, he is a sacred lamb that most be protected at all costs.
Jonathan Majors is a rising young BLACK man in America, that committed the cardinal sin of assaulting a woman. He must be cancelled.
These two cases are not the same.

Funny thing is the actress in real life divorced her husband (who she has three kids with)and is in a relationship with the Brad guy, whom she had an affair with in the series.
This is Life imitating art.

I am currently watching Star Wars: The Force awakens. I am a great fan of star wars series. In fact, it is one of the greatest sci fi. series ever produced with great storyline and commendable cast. I recently bought a RGB lightsaber used by Darth Vader in this movie. I have collected many lightsabers of different characters. I would definitely recommend this movie to you all.

Glad to see Dijak again. Hope he finds redemption after the horrible retribution gimmick. I was fine with Joe Gacy doing the PC culture mockery psychopath character as it set him apart from others. However, the moment they started this smoke/mirrors Wyatt family thing . It became a bummer. Why should I care about discount Wyatt when I have the original on main roster.
Even in defeat, Melo doesn't miss to impress. Please never break him and Trick up.
It's time for Bron and Mandy to lose those titles as they've held them for too long hence making the main event scene uninteresting.

WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS

Are You Him?
Wes Lee & Carmelo Hayes put on a clinic this week. Thereā€™s something special about these two cats together that creates magic. Theyā€™re so similar in the ring but polar opposites outside of it. Those different philosophies provide ample storytelling opportunities, but tried and true oneupmanship always gets the job done. After all, they donā€™t call it ā€œtried and trueā€ for nothing.
I use these words for a few matches but itā€™s appropriate here: recapping it doesnā€™t do it justice. Iā€™m not saying itā€™s the greatest thing ever, just that itā€™s pretty damn dope and nothing I say will elevate it in a readerā€™s eyes. Talking about the counters in the beginning of the match, the break neck pace in the middle, and the Trick Williams spot in the final act just seems silly when the match as a whole is worth all your time. Especially as it relates to Wes, a man who needed this win more than anything else. Even as North American champ, Wes felt a little inferior to Hayes. And he never pinned Hayes for the title, so thereā€™s that too. Wes not only did that, but he knows Hayes so intimately that he used a lot of his own tricksā€”no pun intendedā€”against him. He countered Nothing but Net, subdued Williams, and pinned Melo in the middle of the ring. That he did all this against a man wearing a shirt that simply read ā€œHIM.ā€ made it that much sweeter.
Where does Melo go from here? Iā€™m not sure. He canā€™t clown Wes anymore or call him a paper champ. I donā€™t know if he can even go back to the barbershop after this. Bron Breakkerā€™s dance card has no more room, as illustrated tonight through separate vignettes with Apollo Crews and Bron himself. Theyā€™re playing into the idea that Bron is a little underwater at the moment. If Crews or JD knocks him off his perch, perhaps thatā€™s the opening for Melo. Plus? Him not going after the NXT championship after all this time just feels kinda silly. Wes is a better champion because of this match and because of all the luster put on that title, thanks in part to Melo.
Speaking of Wes, Dijak is his next challenge. The big man returned to the black and gold brand, without any traces of RETRIBUTION. After weeks, we finally know the man who promised his own ā€œbrand of justiceā€ would soon reign in NXT. I donā€™t see them taking the belt off of Wes right now, but Dijak brings a very different element than Melo or anyone Wes faced so far.
Count me in.


Extracurriculars
Almost Nice
Getting this out of the way early, but Iā€™m very disappointed WWE2K22 is 67 percent off for Black Friday instead of 69 for obvious reasons. Such a wasted opportunity for immature people around the world. Sigh, WWE & 2K. Sigh.

The Chase
Not only one of my favorite Foxy Brown songs, but emblematic of where Chase U found thresmevels this week in the middle of a tag team championship match. And we got here because Pretty Deadly insulted Chase U earlier during the show. The NXT tag champs, along with Grayson Waller, believe Duke Hudson is full of it. You know what ā€œitā€ is in this case. Grayson thinks this whole Chase U thing is a ruse, while Pretty Deadly are a bit insulted that Duke dons the shirt and hangs with people they consider lesser than. A fight broke out and Duke talked he and Andre Chase into a tag team championship match.
Andre Chase scores with everything he does in NXT right now. His wrestling is no different. Chase is the sympathetic good guy so everything he does packs emotion and itā€™s fun rooting for him. Pretty Deadly and Duke are no slouches, which is why the match worked so well, but Chase just does more for me.
The story here is whether or not Duke really is sabotaging Chase U from the inside. He does stuff on the regular to make one question his allegiance. This week? After getting the hot tag and getting on a roll against the champs, Duke tagged Andre, who clearly had no business in the ring while he caught his breath and recovered. The two tried a double team maneuver but Duke inadvertently hit Chase with a big boot instead. Or was it inadvertent?
Pretty Deadly got the win with Spilt Milk and Chase U looked united in defeat. But at what point does Andre Chase or Thea Hail ask the same questions posed by Waller and Pretty Deadly?

All Wet
Cora Jade and Wendy Choo wrestled this week and the ending confuses me. The match itself was pretty good, with both women showing their skill and Wendy impressing just as much as Cora. But that ending...
Cora went for her kendo stick because of course, and Wendy blocked her attack. The predictable part was the ref getting the stick out of the ring and missing something. No issue with that since it comes with the territory. But the ref missed Cora throw Wendyā€™s cup of whatever in Coraā€™s face. Cora goes for the ph in while the ref counts three while his hand splashes down in multiple puddles.
I know if the ref doesnā€™t see it then it didnā€™t happen, but thatā€™s egregious. Obviously this feud isnā€™t over with Cora cheating for the win, but I wish they went another route to get there.

Diamonds in the Rough
Ivy Nile vs. Kiana James was okay. A couple rough patches, most notably Ivyā€™s hurracanrana that caused a delayed reaction from Ms. James. But anyway, Ivy got the W here in a relatively quick match that also saw Fallon Henley get in Kianaā€™s face. Iā€™m more interested in that due to the personalities involved.
The post match is where things got interesting if youā€™re a fan of the Diamond Mine. The Brothers Creed celebrated Ivyā€™s win and accepted Sanga & Veerā€™s challenge. Ivy, who still considers herself Sangaā€™s friend, put up a small protest. Nothing crazy but she clearly stated her objections to Brutus & Julius. While I love Diamond Mine in theory, the crew just isnā€™t the same since Stokley ditched diamonds for jade. If this is the beginning of the end, Iā€™m okay with that.

Sooooo...
Scrypts is Reggie. Right? We all agree on that? We should. He looked good because Reggieā€™s aerial skills are unmatched. Some time in NXT might be good for him.
Iā€™m not sure what I think about the gimmick. Itā€™s a lot, and not all in a bad way. On one hand thereā€™s the entrance, which is really dope with the portraits circling the arena. On the other hand thereā€™s the calling card he leaves on his fallen opponentā€™s chest. Youā€™re not Spider-Man, Reggie. Thatā€™s his bit.

And Just When You Thought it Was Safe...
Here comes Nikkita Lyons to ruin Zoey Starkā€™s day. Zoey defeated Sol Rocca. Sol keeps improving and this was her best match so far. Letting her lean on her personality until she gets the wrestling kinks ironed out sounds like a good idea but hey, I donā€™t work for Shawn Michaels. Itā€™s not a match worth seeing if you missed it, especially since the story is Lyons stepping to Zoey after the bell.

Toxic Relationships
Toxic Attraction kicked off the show gloating as per usual. And with good reason. I got a chuckle out of Jacy Jayne referring to Alba Fyre as ā€œFire bat.ā€ Jacy & Gigi Dolin called out Katana Chance & Kayden Carter because they want ā€œtheirā€ titles back. The tag champs happily obliged, a war of words ensued, and the champs found themselves outnumbered because 3>2. But they found their third woman in Nikkita Lyons, who forged a bond with the champs and offered her help for a six-woman tag match.
Color me shocked if Zoey Stark doesnā€™t interfere in that somehow someway.

We often remark that NXT does a lot in two hours. This was definitely one of those shows where they stuffed a lot into two hours but only some of it truly connected. The main event? Definitely. The Chase U stuff? Of course. Even Bronā€™s vignette on a boat discussing the weight of the crown caught my attention because itā€™s a different side for a guy who barks in the ring. But some of the matches, along with the handful of backstage segments, plus Schism taking time out of everyoneā€™s lives to scold us about commercialism and Thanksgiving, made the show feel chaotic with no true rhythm. NXT is at its best when it slows down and moves methodically.

This was not that.
