Bernie

I don't feel I have to decide anything until Bernie Sanders officially drops out and that's going to be at the convention at the earliest.

I know we're supposed to automatically fall in line and be "with her" but I'm pretty disgusted by the Democrats in general right now. Their current platform is atrocious and the primaries were a disaster. The convention requirements are embarrassing, like something out of a satire about rich people.

The fact that we're expected to just do whatever the party wants us to do is what I've hated about the current Republican party so no, I don't agree with that at all. This is the United States of America where we have the freedom to believe whatever we choose, not what people tell us we HAVE to believe.

I'm going to work to get Open Primaries in all states and then, if the Democrats haven't proved themselves to be inclusive and care what the younger and/or fringe voters think, I'm dropping them. This is their official warning. You're on Notice! as the old Stephen Colbert would say.

I still want to give Hillary a fair shot if it comes to it. I'll read her book but it's going to be pretty hard to win me over. My mom's already saying things like "We're not voting for her."

We'll probably vote for Jill Stein. Someone online claimed she didn't have Bernie's values but refused to tell me what she meant by that and I can't figure it out on my own.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows

I saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows a few weeks ago.

I was looking forward to this, honestly. It looked like they were trying for more fun while being a little more true to the source materials. Plus, there was Stephen Amell.

First of all, unlike the first time we had a second TMNT sequel, there was no free puzzle foldout! I think I still have mine somewhere. I know I saw it 5 years ago or so when I was going through stuff.

It did try to be more like the animated series and they seemed more comfortable writing the turtles without being complete stereotypes but...

April is still frustrating. They had her stealing things and just... (sigh)
Like why did they have Will Arnett take all the credit instead of April? Is it because a male would be more believable?

Was Tyler Perry's character supposed to be an evil Neil deGrasse Tyson?

This actually had Laura Linney and not Laura Linney in like two crap scenes like they did Whoopi in the first one but Laura Linney was actually IMPORTANT! I was impressed...you know for a good 3-5 seconds.

Karai is still utterly wasted.

Casey had some fun parts but this definitely isn't Arrow. I have nothing against Tommy Gavin's brother/beeper man but I think the bartender should have been the original Casey. Dammit, Judith Hoag filmed a cameo and was cut.

I love how mutant creatures can just board airplanes whenever they want in this universe...I don't care that they're sneaking into the cargo hold. They're Ninjas, but they're still large turtles...really?

When they did Muhammad Ali's quote without attributing, I definitely cringed since he had JUST died.

I thought Krang was pretty good. It made me think how they could do MODOK in the Marvel films which used to seem ridiculous but not anymore, lol.

I feel like there could have been a good metaphor about when you're born a certain way or become physically deformed, people should accept you instead of you having to change for them but then...they still decide to live in the shadows so I don't like that message at all.
