…..Oh, I’m looking forward to this one….I found this info and it was…..provided by Giant Freakin Robot…..whatever the heck that is…..anyway,…. “History buffs and Denzel Washington fans take note……Netflix is preparing to deliver a historical epic slated to be a cinematic triumph, with the iconic Hollywood star portraying the Carthaginian general, Hannibal……the project rekindles the dynamic partnership between Washington and director Antione Fuqua, who initially showcased their chemistry in their 2001 Oscar-winning movie Training Day…..what’s more, the screenplay for the upcoming historical epic will be written by acclaimed screenwriter John Logan, an artist possessing a familiarity and background perfect for the project; after all, he wrote Gladiator”…..now us film lovers know how long Denzel and Antione have been making films together…..and every one of them were on the money…..and this one will focus on the military campaigns during the Second Punic War against Rome…..Denzel’s wanted to do this project for over two decades….but you know how it goes…..commitments, time constraints…etc….now he has some free time and his kids are all grown…..so it’s on…..in case you don’t know….Hannibal was a serious badass and a strategic genius….he crossed the alps with his army…..mounted on elephants to attack Rome from the North….instead of crossing the Mediterranean Sea….he won a few battles….Battle of the Trebia, Lake Trasimene and Cannae…..stomping on every Roman who got in his way….Hannibal had this uncanny ability to figure out his opponent’s strengths and weaknesses and use it against them…..dude occupied most of southern Italy for 15 years…..he left his home in charge of his idiot son….and the Romans cut off his reinforcements…..so he had to return back home….and was eventually defeated at the Battle of Zama….ending the war in a Roman victory….so he went into politics…..came up with a political and financial plan to enable the payment of the war indemnity imposed by Rome….the aristocracy of Carthaginian and Rome wasn’t going for it….so he said “screw y’all” and fled into voluntary exile…..you should read up on the brother….because till this day…..his military tactics are being taught in military schools, war colleges…..and being used on the battlefields right now…..man, I can’t wait to see Denzel and Antione nail this one.
COMMUNITY GROUP’S CONTROVERSIAL SIGN PROMPTS PUBLIC DISCUSSION ON DIVERSITY….Residents in Coquitlam, British Columbia are upset…..after a childcare group advertising campaign wrote…. “Whites Only” in large letters…..even the mayor is pissed….there’s no question the sign is letting you know they’re into….racial segregation….and urging parents to join an exclusive group….based on their ethnicity….kind a saying…. “Join us for whites-only moms and kids”….those “White only” moms actually implied that white children were now the minority in schools….and they are tired of being a minority in their schools and daycares….they even threw in the “forced diversity and European heritage” clauses….. “Escape forced diversity and join other proud parent of European children as we create an atmosphere in which our kids can feel like they belong”….belong to what?…..anyway,….the city issued a statement reaffirming its commitment to spreading inclusion and diversity….while fostering an environment of equity, diversity and inclusion for all its residents…..and as usual social media went insane….prompting calls of punishment for the community….ok, here’s my take on this….if this community wants to live in their own separate racist private Idaho…..fine with me…..stay there…..but don’t ever set foot in a multi-cultural world ever again…..if you’re hungry, need gas for your car….whatever you may need to survive….then I hope your “White Only” environment can provide that for you….and if it can’t….I will make sure you are able to read the sign posted at the town county line saying….. “YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE!”…..and have your racist, segregationist butt arrested for trespassing the moment you set foot on Main Street.
