Copy Cats and Other Horrors

~ JodiLea

Those in charge of the entertainment world are really pissing me off (again).
Long time (or long-suffering?) readers know exactly how I feel about remakes. I ranted out that toxic hatred of movie remakes in March of 2014. Only two years later I am ranting again.

This latest debauchery was brought to my attention yesterday…

Frankiefurter2016

Q. Guess which well-known and loved character this chick plays in a 2016 remake?

A. Cat Woman?       Nope.

A. Dolly Parton’s character in that whorehouse movie?             Nope.

A. New club owner in True “Blood”?  Nope.

Give up??

Final Answer: Dr. Frank N. Furter

“NO!  NOT THAT!”   Oh yes that, and that’s not the worst part!

“What could be worse than a movie remake of Rocky Horror Picture Show?”  Funny you should ask…

“Remaking the movie into a TV Series – that’s what.”

Are there no men in the actor community these days that have any balls?  Tim Curry had the (very large) balls to not only take on the roll, but become the best Frank N. Furter there could be.

Apparently not. Because they cast a woman.  Do they not realize the difference between a woman in her undergarments and a male transvestite in women’s undergarments?  They must have completely rewritten the story into what must truly be a horror picture show.

Now there’s a Hunk o’ Hunk of Burning Love for ya…

Attention! Fathers of Daughters

~ JodiLea

A good father must not be afraid to take a stand. A great father will even embarrass himself to make a point…

 

His teenage daughter got a text from a boy, saying “Send me a bra pic.”

 

This was his response:

A Gratitude List

~ JodiLea

My dearest readers,

A few posts ago I mentioned making a “Gratitude List” to help fight depression & subsequent attitudes that follow.  Of course I am grateful for my dear hubby, family, and friends. This list would be miles long if I mentioned them all (and be very boring to read) so …

So this list is what I am also grateful for:

  • My puppy (even though she is a complete and total pain in the butt, we adore each other)
  • That I live in a time with indoor plumbing and electricity
  • Hollywood Movies
  • Small towns
  • Retirement (I smile every time I remember that I am!)
  • Board meetings are only once per month
  • Novels – even the monstrosity I have written for the past three years now.
  • My blog. It saved my sanity in 2011-2012. (OK, but at least most of it)
  • I have the means now to see my BFF every year. (She lives 2,000 miles away.)

I cannot leave out the most important thing I am grateful for –  a loving God and a VERY hard-working, ever patient, guardian angel. I’ve never met him, but I know he is there. Always ready to protect me from (myself mostly), and kick my butt when he has had it with my stupidity and needs to get my attention.

I imagine he looks formidable and handsome – like Ving Rhames.

I am also grateful for so many little, silly things. Maybe someday I’ll put together that list for Thursday’s Giggles and Bits. It’s a thought!
