…..Now,…..there are a few great….we’re gonna try and see if we can make money three times…..off the same idea films out there….because they just announced that there is going to be a… “JOHN WICK 4”….that made my day and I haven’t even watched 3 yet…..and that‘s point I want to point out….sometimes, you need to stop at 3….BUT….The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo…..classic!……Mad Max…..got lucky…..should’ve stopped at 2….Back to the Future….one was good enough….Die Hard….yeah,…..Aliens….I was fine with the first one….but Sigourney Weaver….took womanhood to another level….she said; “F…K This!”…..3 should’ve been the last one…..The Matrix…..man I wish this trilogy had come out in the 70’s when we were in college…..and probably trippin’…..a classic!…..The Godfather…..bad casting killed number 3….but number 2….an all-time classic!……Star Wars….stop dragging out a great idea….we all got it after the third one…..and I could go on and name a lot more….but I’m not….anyway,….there are trilogies that should continue because of the “Main” actor…..like Keanu…..John Wick is the shit!….no question and I hope they make John Wick 10,574…..I’ll watch them all….The Equalizer…..Denzel Washington kills it…..keep going…..The Transporter…..Jason is great…..Bad Boys is 2 for 2….let’s hope they don’t screw-up 3…..here’s a hint for the studios….cast the film with the right actor….Tom and Mission Impossible…..you can’t top that…… otherwise, if it worked the first time…and maybe the second time….make sure the next will also be a hit…..and now onto….
NORWAY ISLAND WANTS TO BE WORLD’S FIRST TIME-FREE ZONE…..Yeah, I could get with that…..spring forward – fall back….I hate it….keep it fall back because our sun comes up around 4….and is still up around 10pm….but this place….sounds pretty cool if you can adapt….I’m not sure if they’re talking about an island called West Tromso….the last “O” has a “ / ” through it….or they’re talking about an area north of the Arctic Circle…..anyway,…the sun doesn’t set from May 18th….and goes straight through to July 26th …..like 69-70 days straight sun….that’s gotta screw with you….but an islander named Kjell Ove Hveding said;…. In the middle of the night, which for city folks is 2am…you can see children playing soccer, people painting their houses or mowing their lawns and teens going for a swim”……here’s the catch to “La La Land”….the people living there have to deal with some serious polar weather….hence the word “Polar”….from November to January…don’t even think about a sunrise because that ain’t happening….and the residents make the most of it with no regard to conventional timekeeping….wow, just think, you could live the life of a bear…..when the weather’s great….you come out and entertain yourself…..when the weather turns to crap…..go home and go to sleep…..and repeat….but they’re serious though….they had town meetings to sign a petition to change it….Kjell met with Norwegian members of parliament….gave them the signatures…and we’ll see what’s up….I hope the GOV says yep…..another islander said; “To many of us, getting this in writing would simply mean formalizing something we have been practicing for generations.”….they want to be free of traditional opening hours and introduce flexibility in school and working hours….fishing and tourism are the main businesses…..for a population of a little more than 300 people….anyway,…this is why I would visit…..when visitors cross the bridge to the island from the mainland. They aren’t greeted with padlocks (symbolizing lovelocks) like on similar bridges worldwide…the bridge is covered with watches….as people prepare for entry to the land that time forgot.
IRISH ISLAND OF ARRANMORE ASKS AMERICANS TO MOVE THERE…..Before I get into this……I have only one question…and I’ll ask it at the end of….whatever I’m going to relate to you….anyway,….this is what they call a picturesque Irish island…..they said the same about Staten Island too….anyway,…..and only 469 people are living there….during the 19th century, people have been saying….see ya….oh, BTW, they’re asking Australians also….now that’s cool….anyway,…..they boast towering clifftops, unspoiled beaches and a close-knit community….plus, they have high speed internet….they’re using that to entice us to move there…..because they are the most connected island in the world…..yeah…..anyway,….the fishing and farming industries weren’t enough incentive to keep the young people there….hey, young…island….so many cousins to go around…..anyway,….they do have a host of multi-talented people there….graphic designer, a mobile games developer, a photographer (there goes my job) and an app developer….and this is great to know….your commute, no matter where you are….will only take five minutes….what?….you LA people are shocked?….it’s a freakin’ island…..anyway,….at least they’re honest….the weather is shit…..you know, the more I read this article the more I like the people…..you have rock climbing, boating, sea safaris….even Irish language classes for the kids….everyone knows everyone and everyone one is friendly…..what was the film Nicolas Cage was in….the one where he went to a strange island?……and they’re asking the Australians to bring snakes…..brown ones and great whites….they say they don’t have “schooners”…..I’ll guess that’s an Australian beer….but they do have Guinness on tap….right there you had me…until you invited the Aussies to bring snakes….musicians are there…good Irish whiskey is there and they will keep the party going well into the night….and you can enjoy life…and have a job…..so, my American and Australian and European friends…..hey, they need people…..beggars can’t be choosy…..and I’m speaking to all of you…what do you think would happen if we moved there?…..the article made no mention of schools, infrastructure, government, currency, Religion, housing…..race!…..so, my question is…would they accept me?…..here’s a better idea….why don’t we save our pennies, and buy a house for a dollar in Sicily…..hey, if you want to live good this is a good idea….Mussomeli…you have three years to renovate it…..Sambuca, Tuscany, Sardinia, Piedmont. Abruzzo, Lazio,…..plenty of places are selling houses dirt cheap….just renovate it…..and we could all live as one.
FRENCH CITY SHUTS DOWN PUBLIC POOLS AFTER TWO WOMEN SEEN WEARING BURKINIS…..France….you’re full of crap….you treat immigrants like second-class trash….your non-French citizens who “are now” officially citizens….are treated like second-class citizens…..and your sports teams are filled with people of color and different religions….athletes who proudly represent a country who “ONLY” accepts them on the sports playing field….and you wouldn’t win a sporting event without them….you have the largest Muslim population in Europe….and was the first European country to ban the full veil in 2011…the European court of human rights upheld the ban in 2014…rejecting arguments that outlawing full-faced veils breaches religious freedom…..a French sports retailer was forced to back down from selling running hijabs….Far-Right politicians expressed their opposition against burkinis….many Muslim women want public pools that require men to wear swim briefs and women to wear bikini’s or one piece swim suits to change their policy…..hey, don’t get me wrong here….a few religions and zealots are emigrating to other countries and demanding or attempting to force their way of life into a new situation….which is wrong…..but come on now….is there such a difference between a Nun splashing around in a pool or the ocean wearing a habit…..or a woman splashes around in a pool or an ocean…while wearing a burkini?…..the local MP Eric Ciotti…..of the rightwing Republicans party said on Twitter….. “The burkini has no place in France where women are equal to men”……someone wanna explain to me WTF that means?…..and here’s the kicker….hundreds of French nudists are threatening to “bare all” against the burkini-clad bathers.
