STAR TREK-BEYOND...MEH

I'll admit, I might be a bit over critical with this post, but I really wasn't that impressed with Star Trek Beyond.  Of the 3 latest films, I would put them in this order of preference...Star Trek 2, Star Trek 3, Star Trek 1.

Its the plot.  Its boring.  They blew up the Enterprise.  YAWN!  Another mystical gadget with powers.  YAWN.   Another disgruntled employee.  YAWN.  Nothing new here.  In my opinion, its a step back from the previous film.  It just falls short of being really good.  There's just something missing I cant put my finger on.  Its like the Fast & Furious series.  Something's missing.  But there are a lot of 'little' things...***Spoiler Alert***like the music chosen to disrupt the Bee Hive mentality and help blow them up is the same song they played when Kirk stole the Corvette as a kid in the 1st movie of this Star Trek Series.

If your only criteria for liking an action movie is things blowing up and mindless violence, then you'll be happily entertained.  If you are expecting more...MEH.

Its still enjoyable and Trekkies will still like it as did I.  Its face paced, but the action is designed to keep your mind off the fact the plot is boring.  Predictable. Already the Blu-Ray/DVD Combo w/digital copy is priced at $12.99 at Best Buy.  Last year's Deadpool DVD ''ONLY'' is still selling at $21.99...

Nuff Said.

CFL GREY CUP 2016 "NOT" FOOTBALL

The 2016 Calgary Stampeders now have the label "CHOKE" after an 8-9-1 Ottawa team beat them in the final.  But why do I say this years Grey Cup was "NOT" football?

#1...the Ottawa Redblacks finished 8-9-1...personally, I don't care when a team "comes" together...No team below .500 should ever be allowed in any Play Off Format...and my Eastern Canadian Political views have nothing to do with this.  Also,  the East/West Playoff format needs to be abolished in favor of a 1 division league where 8 teams could make the play offs and the teams seasonal record comes more into play.  A one division league with a 1 plays 8 format would ensure 8 teams get to make the play offs out of 9 instead of 6 teams only making the play offs.  Its also better for the league/teams from a financial standpoint.

But more importantly...is the now constant VIDEO REVIEW.

#2  is probably more a #1 than anything.  The game needs to be called at real time.  Get rid of the video review.  Its ruining the game.  I as a Canadian have lost all respect for the Grey Cup and as a means of protest will not watch another Grey Cup or support a Grey Cup until they abolish it.  I went to make a coffee and a snack in the 3rd period.  In 10 minutes of actual time, there were at minimum 4 video reviews and Challenges.  This isn't football.  They spent all that time draining the energy from the game while everyone wonders what is going on. I got fed up. I just wanted to watch a good game.  If it was a good game, I couldn't say.  Video Review sucked the game out of the game and I gave up on the football game in favor of cleaning the house because of it.  Im glad I didnt pay for this privilege.

Teams are calling for a video review just to check for offenses that were not seen at real time.  There needs to be the Human Element.  If you have to slow a camera down to 1 frame to see an infraction...it shouldn't count.  The referees don't have this luxury.

This is no longer football.  We might as well just get rid of the refs and put EVERY play under video review and let robotics take over the game.

Nope...if this is the future of the Grey Cup...Toronto can keep it because this ISNT football.  Football is a sport played by and refereed by men...not computers and camera's.  This is what happens when Politics and politically correct meet sports.  You get Political Football which is not a sport among athletes...only whiners who don't actually play the game.

And on a more personal note...how is it that Toronto as hosted a Grey Cup 3 times in the last 10 years...Edmonton (which sells out Grey Cup Games and Toronto doesn't and has less seats) has hosted it 3 times since the 1980's?  If that's not politics interfering...What is?

THOR REVEALS 1973 Pierre Cardin Javelin In " SUPER 8" Trailer

I put in the movie THOR for the 200th time.  And like I always say...You can watch a movie 20 times...you'll find something new each time.

Well while I was doing other things the  trailers began.  The 2nd Trailer on the standard THOR DVD is for a movie called Super 8.  A bunch of kids trying to make a movie and film something they shouldn't have.  But about 6-8 seconds into the trailer...you see a red 1973 Pierre Cardin Javelin drive by 2 kids riding their bikes.

As a owner of a 72 AMC AMX Javelin, I can tell you there aren't many of these cars out there and even fewer are the people who know about them.

The AMC AMX Javelin was built to compete with the Corvette.  Not the Mustang/Camaro.

 

NDP FALSELY TAKING CREDIT!

The NDP is not responsible for the blow out in oil prices.  But they are responsible for closing 5 coal mines and for refusing to make any kind of push at all for a pipeline.  There is a huge Brain Drain as professionals and tradesman leave the province.  If we ever do recover, we wont have the workforce to do it.  NDP policies and tax hikes have made Alberta a very unattractive and expensive place to do business.   A lot of small businesses have closed their doors and moved to other provinces or have gone bankrupt altogether.

When pressed with their backs to the wall people will do whatever it takes to earn a living.  So when the government refuses to help them they use their creativity to earn a living.

The NDP then says that THEY ''CREATED''  'X amount' of jobs.  The NDP didn't do anything.  People here just did whatever they had to, to pay the bills. 

But the NDP are taking credit for it.

The only thing they can officially take credit for is for doing ''NOTHING'' for the people of Alberta except making them broke, putting them out of work and losing their homes.  But if you are a government worker...you get a raise while people in the REAL world try and figure out where their next meal is coming from.

Food bank usage in Edmonton is up by almost 20%.

FUCKING SOCIALISTS!  Lazy ass, no ambition, live off of others, waste of skin NDP Socialists.

That's what they are.  And Notley is the biggest, two faced, sneaky bitch Alberta politics has ever seen.

Tonights Warped Thought

Numerals:  One, Two, Three...Twenty One, Thirty Two, Forty Four, Fifty Five.....

So why don't the numbers from Ten to Twenty go...

Oneteen, Twoteen, Threeteen, Fourteen, Fiveteen.....

ONTARIO DISHONORS VETS!

YES PEOPLE...that is correct.  The center of the universe...Ontario...the place where every Albertan is said to have deserved this economic downturn...The place where Justin (he hates being called that) TruDOUGH said no one from Western Canada should ever be Prime Minister...that Prime Ministers should only come from Quebec...DOES NOT HONOR WAR VETS.

Remembrance day in Canada is a statutory holiday in every province in Canada. 

EXCEPT ONTARIO!

Yes everyone in the country respects War Vets and their contributions to society.  But Ontario doesn't feel the need.  I guess they feel our War Vets aren't deserving of an honor such as that.

 It just proves how little Ontario cares about the rest of Canada and their position on Canada as a whole.  They only care about themselves.

Maybe we can get Quebec to take Ontario with them when they separate.  They'd really be doing us a favor.

USA PRESIDENTAIL ELECTION COMPARISIONS

Britain:  Brexit was the stupidest most self destructive act a country could make.
USA:     Hold my drink.


Some days...Being Canadian is like living in a loft apartment while listening to the neighbors downstairs arguing over who is going to set the house on fire.

Vote Donald Trump...A Canadian Perspective

As a Canadian...And I speak ONLY FOR MYSELF...

If I were an American...I would vote for Donald Trump and here's why.

Everyone knows Donald is an egotist.  They also realize he cant do the things he is campaigning on unless he gets full approval from the Senate, the House and most importantly from the people.  He does not have absolute power.  There is a checks and balances system in place in the US. 

I wonder how many women were 14 years ago or more...or less...bragging to their girlfriends they were smoozing it up with Donald.  Now years...YEARS later when it serves their purpose ...he Assaulted Me...and you never brought it up...until now?  Its hard to give those women credibility given the circumstances and timing of their revelations and accusations against Donald.

You know what you get with Donald Trump.  His flaws are front and center.  And he has brought some valid points front and center even if HEAVEN FORBID...Hillary wins the election.

Hilary is to me...sneaky.  I don't trust her.  I expect a Hillarygate somewhere in there.  She's shifty.

yup...If I were an American.  I would vote for Donald Trump.

Canada Post Super Mail Boxes Being ROBBED?????

Great...let the government get involved and everything goes to shit.
Canada Post is a Crown Corporation.  Which means its run by the government.  So they installed these Super Mailboxes.  People were opposed after some were installed so they stopped them.

Ours was one of the first set up, so they use them. 

SO WHERE IS MY MAIL???

I cant trust these mailboxes.  Already my credit cards are missing.  A month overdue.  It was Paypal that informed me my CC was expired.  So when I called they said it was mailed out over a month ago.  It should have taken 3 days.

I can honestly say...these Super Mail boxes are part of the reason I want to move.  A small part...but an additional reason nonetheless.

THEY SUCK because they can be broken into VERY easily.  They are made of cheap steel.
