Recycling Old...

When Ben Affleck finally becomes a really good actor - oh my god, what am I saying?!

Yep - the best thing about Batman v. Superman is Ben Affleck. His acting is beginning to take some, well for me anyway, unexpected good turns.

Affleck - better in the movie than you would think
possible

Could he actually turn into something of a real actor? It's entirely possible. And this surprises me but there you go. From his media interviews this week he's looking a touch peeved about this latest 'blockbuster' but someone he trusts needs to tell him he's making all the right moves in front of the cameras.

I have always considered Hollywood screenwriters not really writers at all but 'channellers' of something that has to do with the larger public sphere at the time of the movie's release.

Here, in this particular case, we have another ridiculous undercurrent involving 'gay themes' at best, and at worst, it's all just nonsense breaking out from insane minds. But suddenly, there is an addition - an obviously Jewish-looking 'Wonder Woman' intervenes with some Eva Green v. Bond repartee, and she is going to resolve the unresolvable.

Batman fights Superman.

Silly in every possible way

Okay. Whatever. And lesbian Wonder Woman turns up and, and, and - slings off a few witticisms at the possibly closet gay male characters, or insults them or something.

Is this Hollywood's idea of recycling the old?

At least when people die, and they go to the next iteration of themselves, they at first are made to forget everything from their previous life, so that everything old seems new again. And even when the supernal Hollywood screenwriters of their lives re-write the same old rubbish recycled as a 'new life' with a 'new story' no one really realizes what a boring heap of nonsense it is they are going to be forced to live out once more.

Life is of course a slightly interactive event, in which even idiotic Muslims can work out the utter crap they are conned into thinking comes from 'god,' and change the pattern of their behaviour. This of course, is not anything we can expect from Western politicians - they have absolutely no hope at all of ever changing their position on anything. 

In the case of Hollywood and Western politicians everything old is old, seems old, behaves old and broken down, and the price of it all is getting a touch steep for what it offers...
