There's Nothing Wrong With Me, This Is How I'm Supposed To Be

Marvel movies are amazing. Since the new Avengers trailer came out last week, I wanted to write about my favorite franchise. I have seen every Marvel movie since Iron Man . Most of the time it is in theaters on opening weekend but sometimes I miss one. In that case, I rent it on DVD and watch it. It's been almost 10 years since Marvel got involved in the movie business and Phase 3 is coming to a close. The fate of some of the characters are in the balance and no one knows what is coming next. Every movie is connected in some way which makes you have to watch them in order. I don't mind especially since I have seen them all so many times I know the little hints to other movies and what each tie in is. I remember a time when Marvel wasn't owned by Disney and the movies didn't make references to Disney movies or to things that don't really have much to do with the series (the jokes in  Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 anyone?). I worry a little about where Marvel is ...

There is a movie coming out soon that I am super excited for. The Greatest Showman on Earth  is the story of P.T. Barnum and his circus. Growing up, I loved this circus. I went once and loved it. I was hoping be able to go again one day. But due to having to retire their elephants and the drop in ticket sales due to this move, Barnum and Bailey Circus shut it's doors. I will never be able to see "greatest show on earth" ever again. It's a little ironic that this movie is coming out the same year that the circus had so many problems. I know how hard it is for a circus to keep going when certain groups of people just want it to end. There is a circus that comes around where I grew up every couple of years. This past year, as I was going to karate (since it is literally right behind the building where we teach) I saw a group of people out front with signs protesting the circus for its use of elephants. I understand where they are coming from but I can't help but th...

Doctor Who . It is kind of a strange show. But I like it. I've been a fan of this show since 2012. It's been that long. So long in fact that I had to look up when Matt Smith left and subtract a year to even find out when I started watching the show. The show originally started in 1963 and has been going strong since. With a season every year and a Christmas special, there doesn't seem to be much chance of stopping this show anytime soon (knock on wood). William Hartnell. Patrick Troughton. Jon Pertwee. Tom Baker. Peter Davison. Colin Baker. Sylvester McCoy. Paul McGann. Christopher Eccleston. David Tennant. Matt Smith. Peter Capaldi. Jodie Whittaker. 13 doctors. Well 14 if you count John Hurt for the 50th anniversary special. So many great actors and so many great seasons. It's a little hard to see the originals if you don't have any access to BBC but the newest ones (Eccleston, Tennant, Smith, Capaldi, and soon Whittaker) are available on Amazon Prime, BBC A...
