Batman V Superman

Batman V Superman 

The best thing about Batman V Superman was Wonder Woman! Now that chick was impressive. This is one of those movies that is redeemed by the ending. I can definitely say that I was skeptical about Ben Affleck as Batman but for the direction they went, he was actually quite good. He was brooding, dark and menacingly silent. The tortured soul.

Henry Cavill as Superman is not my favorite. He is nice to look at, but I have been turned off from the so so remake. At any rate, he is solid in the characterization of Superman. He too played the role as it was designed.

The things I did not love:
  • drawn out build of the back story. I get we had to have a believable reason why Batman hated Superman but sheesh! Did it have to take so long? 
  • the brooding Batman. Again, I get it but he was all gloom and doom for far too long. 
  • dream sequences. Now, I appreciate a good dream sequence like any true scifi lover would but these were ... well, just not that great. They felt thrown together, disjointed and did not advance the story as it should have. My son argues though that one of them had a distinct purpose and I'm not enough of a fan to get it. I will give him that. 
Time to move on to the good stuff. The things I loved:
  • Wonder Woman!!!!!!! I can't say it enough. I probably am a little biased since I liked, Gal Gadot in Fast and the Furious. I like the actress, and the character was just plain bad ass. 
  • the ending. Nuff said lol. 
  • the sneak peak at the other super heros (so freaking excited, I am -said in Yoda voice lol) 
  • the villian, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex was crazy!!! A good crazy with just the right amount of snark. He played it well. 
  • the fight scenes. They were choreographed well and did not get boring. 
 All in all, it was worth the watch. Now, I am not so patiently waiting for the Justice League. In the meantime there are plenty of other good stuff coming out to keep me entertained and stress free, even if ir is only momentarily.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca

In many cases, it takes a high level of commitment to stay on track with whatever kind physical of activity and/or diet that is chosen. For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons. The Insanity Workout is a high energy workout routine that works on the interval training method. The interval method stresses a period of high activity followed by a period of low activity. This is the key to workout regimen because it warms up muscles, builds them up, and acts as a lactic acid conditioner.
