Politics: Hate Crimes

There’s not much that I have time to write and add. What I am saying is that hate crimes have become a problem more and more during today’s days. The most annoying thing that I can think of them relating to the most high profile ones of them that you hear on the news is that they aren’t always called hate crimes at first. If majority black churches are being burned, that is a hate crime and should be investigated as a hate crime. It isn’t something that needs to be proven if that’s the crime. It needs to be ruled out. It is more likely to be a hate crime than not. That is something that needs to change about society if it hasn’t already. Obvious hate crimes need to be publicly investigated as such from the very beginning.

Politics: On Trump Supporters Misuse of the Word Patriots

As of lately, most of the Republican Party loves either inventing words or phrases and hoping that people just go along with it or redefine words to ridiculous meanings. This is how we get to Trump supporters calling themselves patriots. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Here I was thinking that New England’s football team was the worst group of people out there that used the label of patriots. Well, while football teams can call themselves plenty of things that they are not (Rams, Cardinals, Jets, 49ers, etc.), this is a much worse problem.

You see, many Trump supporters are now going to see themselves as groups of chosen ones who are out to save the country from those who, in their mind, are not patriots. But the thing is, by the simple way that we know of defining that word for real, patriots are whoever lives in this country that love this country. This would be people who like it and want to see it succeed.

This, of course, means that Trump supporters are around the furthest things from real patriots. They are against democracy when they do things like storm the capitol or cause plenty of other riots. They aren’t patriots when they can’t accept a duly elected person as president and just straight up to believe very anti-American things that their dear leader had done.

Many of them have and will continue to believe that they are in favor of this country while they support the president most known for trying to destroy it and other countries all while trying to stay in power and destroy the democracy they are claiming they support.

Cast Update 4-5-2022

There never seems to be as much time for me to do anything and yet I still keep writing these blogs of mine. I’m unsure if anyone other that myself knows just how much effort I put into these blogs of mine. I am honestly hoping for some event that will prevent me from updating various blogs of mine. It could be something as simple as a power outage or internet issues. But I would want to explain to readers of some of them why the blogs wind up gone at some point in time and if some return and why.

 

Tea Leoni: She will be in a project called Endangered, which will be a movie. There are no other things that I see her in right now besides that. I don’t know when they finished filming the show, but you’d think that those who are still doing projects will have stuff right now to do (if that makes sense).

 

Endangered: This is a movie about the lives of threatened species. We’ll see what role she has in it. The website I’m checking makes it seem like she’ll be lending her voice to it so maybe it will be some sort of documentary. The release date is unknown now.

 

Bebe Neuwirth: She’s had a recurring bit on Blue Bloods and may show up on it from time to time. There are other minor things that she has done. It appears that she will be in a new movie called Julia. She will also be in something new called Teenage Euthanasia. Yet another thing that she will be in will be Ultra City Smiths. I hope to see what I can of this.

 

Julia: This is a show about Julia Child, the chef. It is available now on HBO Max. It first became available on 3-31-2022. There is a trailer for this that I will talk about. I might not care about missing the show even if I’m coming to like some cooking shows.

Thoughts on trailer: This looks way more interesting than I ever would have thought that it might be. Who would have thought that a woman would need to overcome cooking sterotypes? It seems like there is a lot more going on here than might need to be, but there isn’t much else to say about this. I doubt that I’ll be able to see it without borrowing this from my sister’s family for a moment, but it could be fine regardless of it I wind up seeing it in the future or not.

 

Teenage Euthanasia: Considering how the title talks about assisted suicide, one can be a bit unsure how this could turn into a good story. But the plot is more complicated than that and hard to sum up easily. The show is out now. There is a trailer for this:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T8HAs-5oX4

 

Thoughts on trailer: So this looks strange, but I was already expecting it. I guess that it is far too grim for even FOX by featuring mature content that not even that network would allow. I’m glad that the trailer explains a lot about the series, but I’m not upset that I’m going to be missing any of this in the end.

 

Ultra City Smiths: This is a TV show about two people looking for a missing celebrity. Will they find what they are looking for? One can only hope since that’s what the show is about. This is out now. I do not know what network this is on or what time it airs. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qthWw6NPMA

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks weird and I probably would have liked it better if it were live action focusing on a more serious plot. I can’t gather much from the trailer, but there sure are a hell of a lot of people in it. And I guess that’s all that I can make sense of it for now. What else is there to say?

 

Geoffrey Arend: He will be in a project called Physical, a TV show. I’m glad that he could find something at long last. Hopefully, he’ll do a bunch more things all worth keeping track of in this blog and worth watching as well if I can see them at all.

 

Physical: This is a TV show, but too much about this is unknown at this point in time. It is out now on Apple TV. It also has a trailer that I will be talking some about. It is a very new thing and imdb isn’t revealing much about it now as a result. But we’ll find out more about this over time.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQTFdslwJYo

 

Thoughts on trailer: I’m not entirely sure what to make of this. It doesn’t seem that bad, but it doesn’t seem anywhere close to good either. It is going for something maybe a bit different, but I can’t really get behind it that much. I was never one for the 80s as I wasn't even born yet and really only get stuff out of it from when I see The Goldbergs. It doesn’t seem all that interesting to me really.

 

Kathrine Herzer: She hasn’t been doing much since the show ended or now, it seems. Maybe she is going back to a more normal life. Not all the child actors or actresses continue into the field when they get older as they want to do other things in life. Remember the people from Shining Time Station?

 

Evan Roe: Again, this person has not been doing much after the show ended. I guess it hasn’t been over long enough or a lot of these people just haven’t found a new job yet, at least in the Hollywood industry. You’d think that the filming would have ended long enough ago, but maybe not.

 

Tim Daly: The time has come to say what this man is finally doing after Madam Secretary as he finally has something new in the works now. He is set to be in The Game, a TV show. That appears to be all that he is in for now.

 

The Game: This is a TV series about black culture and how it regards to football. It could be good and is a continuation of CW show from a while ago that also aired on BET. This is available now on Paramount+. I am not currently planning on watching it.

 

Zeljko Ivanek: He is finally set to be in something called Now and Then, which is a TV show. Maybe we’ll see more of his acting in the future or maybe we won’t. But it is nice to know that such a thing will exist or at least could. He is also set to be in The Last Duel, a movie. Another thing that he will be in is Let the Right One in.

 

Now and Then: This is a TV series about a group of Hispanic friends meeting again years after one of them is found dead. It has a release date of May 20, 2022. It is set to be on Apple TV+. It could be good, but it doesn’t sound original.

 

The Last Duel: Set in Medieval times, two people are set to duel to settle a dispute of some sort or another. This is on DVD now so you might be able to see it there if you want to. There is a trailer for this, so let’s talk about this now.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgygUwPJvYk

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks very interesting and could be good, although I’m unsure of what twists could come in what happens. I hope to avoid learning what had happened in this story (although I’m unsure who it is about still) so as to not get spoiled. But I do think that this could be a thought provoking movie and I look forward to it.

 

I have not been able to see this movie thus far and don’t know if I’ll be able to see it for quite a while if I do at all. I want to know what happens and why. But I only want to know about it by watching the movie itself someday in the future.

 

Let the Right One in: This doesn’t have a trailer yet. It is set for release sometime in 2022. This is a vampire drama that I believe is based on an existing movie that was also already remade into a movie before, albeit much earlier and too soon after the old one was just out from what I understand of it.

 

Erich Bergen: He’s also doing nothing yet as of the show ending. How recently did filming wrap? Was it not that long ago? Why is no one that I’m looking up doing anything yet? I don’t get it. Whatever the reason, he has nothing yet and maybe that will change later.

 

Patina Miller: She is the narrator of a show called Word Party. That’s all that she’s doing for now. I think that she’s a mother so that may affect how much work she’ll be able to do. We’ll see what goes on in her life and I hope she can do something I can watch. It turns out that she is in The Many Saints of Newark. There’s nothing else to mention just yet.

 

Word Party: This is a Netflix kids show that is available now. Patina is the narrator of it. I don’t know much about it. I doubt that I will be able to see it in the future. This show is about teaching others how to talk and learning simple things like that.

 

The Many Saints of Newark: This is a prequel to the TV show The Sopranos. It is a movie. I don’t know at what point her role became known in this because it came as a bit of a surprise for me. It is currently on DVD. It has a trailer:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHa95iy2lF0

 

Thoughts on trailer: I’m guessing that some of this would make more sense or be more for those who had seen the TV show. It could be an interesting crime story, although it seems like we are meant to be rooting for villains. I wouldn’t know what I’d think about it as I need someone to root for in something that I watch and can’t just enjoy something without that basic need most of the time. I’d need a compelling story or characters otherwise. I also hope that this makes sense to those who didn’t or haven’t yet seen The Sopranos as I’m not sure that I’ll be able to see that or not.

 

Wallis Currie-Wood: She has done very little outside of the show. Maybe she will do something more in Hollywood or maybe not. It will be hard to understand some of why I’m not seeing much in terms of what the cast is doing in the future unless or until more time passes.

 

Keith Carradine: He has two projects in the works. One is called Sallywood. The other one is called The Daylong Brothers. We’ll see what happens between those and anything else that he does. I look forward to hopefully seeing these films at some point in time. Maybe more will happen in the future. He’s also in the new season of Fear the Walking Dead.

 

Sallywood: This movie romantic in some way, but I don’t know if it’s a comedy or not. It is about a man who moves to Hollywood and becomes a woman’s personal assistant. They’ll be more to it than that. It has an unknown release date at this time.

 

The Daylong Brothers: This has an unknown release date at this time. It is about three brothers who try to get revenge on their father for selling their souls. This could be interesting, even if I don’t really like to watch horror films. But this could just be normal supernatural.

 

Fear the Walking Dead: This is an AMC show that is a spin-off of the original Walking Dead. At first, it was a prequel set at the start of the zombie outbreak. Now, it is set sometime later during the same time frame as the original. I don’t know when or if I’ll be able to see this, but will include this in the updates for as long as Keith is in it.

 

Sebastian Arcelus: It looks like he will appear in a TV movie or perhaps potential pilot called Blanco. He’s doing better than others in terms of projects in the works. That is it for now. Maybe there will be more, but I think that’s it for now.

 

Blanco: This has an unknown release date at the moment. It is about a criminal who seeks to work with the cops only to build his criminal empire. I have no idea what network this would air on, if any. This might be just another in a long line of passed pilots that I get confused about and wind up in this blog for a long time like what you might have seen in my CSI: Cyber blog.

 

Sara Ramirez: We’ll see what else she might do in the future. It could be a lot or not much at all. One source is now saying that her show, And Just Like That, is returning for a season 2 after all. And there have been rumors for a while now that she might be returning for a guest appearance or so in Grey’s Anatomy. Other than those two roles, I don’t see anything mentioned of hers for now.

 

Kevin Rahm: There isn’t much to talk about for him right now. It doesn’t really say much what he could be doing as his project supposedly isn’t moving forward according to one link with it also saying that it is still in preproduction according to another link. I’m not putting that back in this blog for now until I know for sure that he’s doing it or something else.

 

Barbara Hall: I will see what future, if any, she might have in the film or movie industry. You’d think that she’d be doing something at some point or another, but maybe she won’t be at least for a while. I guess that I’ll keep her in the updates for now.
