Dark and red

Transform or die hard trying. Yes, it was a blockbuster weekend and boy are my arms tired. If Bruce Willis fought Megatron who would win; that's easy Demi's ex rocked the house and Optimus Prime merely explained everything in a deep and knowing voice. But there is one theme I 'd like to discuss that threads through both of these stories or fables if you will, and makes for a dynamic that kind of reflects the nature of our current military dictatorship. In both of these movies, the military, police, and government are inept, and one everyman with a buddy or course, shakes it off and does the job right, steers the organized and armed minions back to the arena and kicks, alien, psycho, ocd, and or foreign accented ass. In general, what this is saying about the system is that it really can't be trusted, and in the end, individuals will come up with the solutions. But, the wait is getting a little long for that to actually happen in this realm so I'm hoping Billy Jack has a little fight left.
