And of course I liked this!
DECEMBER 15th UPDATE: So Marvel’s plan is to keep me in the movies for the rest of my life! LOL!

Amazon, Drones and the CIA! Oh, My! SCARY…….
Gulp!
Melissa Harris-Perry and bell hooks
I kept hearing about this, and getting sent this. I’m glad I did!
I LOVE the discussion on films, and bell saying ALL of it is fantasy! Hmm…….
And, In More Geek News, Look Who’s Joining ME-TV!
YES! I’m glad it’s replacing “Lost in Space,” which will move to midnight, booting out “Voyage.” It will make ME-TV’s “Sci-Fi Saturday” much more watchable.
Wow! Doctors Everywhere!
Wow! Records broken all over the place, around the world!
Guess I’ll just have to accept that in 2013, my favorite things—Marvel comics suphereroes and “Doctor Who”—have to be shared with, well, everyone! LOL! 🙂
And it goes without saying that I LOVED the “movie!”
Crowning Myself Emperor Geek, Because…….
……I actually bought tickets for BOTH 3D theatre screenings of something that will be online illegally five hours after it first airs (in a worldwide simulcast!). 🙂
“The African Americans: Many Rivers To Cross”
…and it’s standard Gates stuff. Politely dismissing all radical Black perspectives, especially worldwide-influenced Black nationalism and socialism, etc.
This one I’ve liked the most (I was happy to finally see Black media history integrated into the Black American history narrative), but how he dismisses Robeson says it all. He tries to make up for it on the website, I see.
When “Like It Is” is finally archived, we’ll have a very good counterpoint to this six-part essay.
Again! (And Again, And Again…..)
NOVEMBER 21st UPDATE: And, an update and commentary.
Re: “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD”: Six Episodes In…..
…..and I agree with a lot of this analysis. What is this show, exactly? An Americanized version of “Torchwood?” A spy show? A procedural? All of the above?
I respect that Joss Whedon is too much a deity to turn this into a Marvel character showcase, but why the hell not?!? I mean, they find a way to mention events from “The Avengers” (or “Iron Man 3”) EVERY week!
(And yes, I believe the fanboys and fangirls on the Web: the “new” Coulson is a LMD! And yes, it is much better than what I taped off of TV in 1998! LOL! :))
