tired of being tired
for years I have been tired of movies and TV glorifying evil and wrong doing of one kind or another. now I am not just going "l don't want to watch this," I am on the attack. The latest thing to piss me off was an ad for some new movie I think its called Widows looks like these women are going to do a major heist to pay for the funerals or whatever something like that. A lot of movies and TV over the decades have glorified thieves and worse who use a lot of skill, evade clever countermeasures, and so forth. The laudable thing is skill, determination against obstacles, self control and discipline to get all this done. But all this is in the service of evil. "thou shalt not steal." Some of them modify a bit, its a reformed thief or a reformed pirate who now works as a privateer, sort of a hired gunslinger for a maritime country at war on the high seas, the conduct is that of a pirate, but its essentially a mercenary. Or they are intelligence agents...
