Fair point about the adoption. I posted this before watching the whole thing. The family make up remained absurd throughout the series. Correct. As long as Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin don't do this then it is really irrelevant. While I am not a fan of Trump, I do think the people should have the right to decide if they want to vote for him or not. I would say it's a prequel to Gene Wilder's based on the look of the Oompa Loompas. The final show was the same as every other show on the tour. You'd think that they would have added a few extra songs and brought back some of the old band members. They didn't really do anything to celebrate it being the final show. I saw it in the theater. I thought it was okay. Definitely not as good as the first two. I wasn't really buying into Mike Barnes as a big threat. I felt like if Daniel could beat Chozen in a death match, then he could easily have beaten Mike Barnes. It's a strategic move. It's pretty bold but it seems to be working. He remains way ahead in the polls and his voters don't seem to care if he does the debates or not, so why risk messing up in a debate? Yes, Ship of Fools is great, as is Big Log. This is correct. People who are 80 years old belong to the Silent Generation. I understand what you're saying in regard to the time period, but I don't agree that it is an issue for this movie. I think the fact that the prison was in Maine changes things a bit. In the 1950s, probably less than 1 percent of Maine's population was black. They wouldn't have had separate facilities for black inmates. The fact that the other inmates all respect him and don't use racial slurs around/about him may be a bit unrealistic for the time period. However, when we meet Red, he had already been in prison for a long time. Perhaps things were harder for him when he first arrived, but he was able to earn the other inmate's respect over time. I didn't have an issue finding the character believable. I honestly can't imagine anyone else playing the part. Hulk fought King Kong Bundy at Wrestlemania 2. Hulk had his own Saturday morning cartoon before then, so he was already a household name. I would say that Roddy Piper made Hulk a household name. The Hulk/Piper feud is what triggered Wrestlemania to become a thing in the first place. Bundy was great though. His match with Hulk was legendary. It was very disappointing. I've always loved his comedy, but this just was not good. The stuff about Meghan Markle was good, but not much else. The weird thing is that in the show, Roderick didn't have a love scene. He didn't even have anyone in his life to have a love scene with. I wonder what the scene in question was and if it would have changed the plot in any way. How was the diverse cast explained well? He has 3 children who are clearly not the same race as him. Not mixed race, but fully of a different race. It would have made far more sense to say that they were adopted. (Sure, people will say that so and so is mixed race and looks more one way that the other. But here we are talking about 3 different people with 3 different mothers who all look nothing whatsoever like they could be their father's child). The monologue about the supreme court and viagra was definitely pure political indoctrination. It was so over the top that it was almost comical to listen to. She was the raven. It is pretty ridiculous. There isn't a family on earth with this kind of racial diversity or this high percentage of LGBT members. Also, it is impossible to believe that Roderick is the biological father of three of these kids. There is nothing wrong with having a diverse cast, but basic biology still exists. Why not just say that they were adopted? It is quite silly. I've seen this on a lot of shows in recent years. In real life only a small percentage of women are lesbians/bisexual. On modern tv it is somewhere around 50%. Inclusion does not make him vomit. The new Oscar diversity rules make him vomit. He sees the rules as a way of restricting artistic freedom. That does not mean that he is against inclusion. He just doesn't support this particular method of achieving it. In the interview where he made these comments, he also called Trump an idiot several times. His brother was 300K in debt. It was assumed that he had blown all the money, but he actually hid it in the cans. Not sure how he got the cans resealed. Totally agree. When they start telling the stories it kills the momentum of the show. With that said, I didn't mind the story about the garage. That one at least fit the tone of the show.
