Who is accountable for the things going on in this country? The men in power take no blame while denying there is even a problem. I have to wonder who will finally stand up to these people and say you did it, now tell us how you are going to make it better .
Moving on, I hate this time of the year, movie wise. This is nearing the in-between movie season. Not quite fall but not blockbuster summer movie time either. I am waiting for the pre fall horror/thriller season. I am very interested in The Invasion with Nicole Kidman & Halloween by Rob Zombie. I think he is very talented and could do something interesting with Halloween. I did read parts of the supposed leaked script and I know of a few cut scenes that IMHO were just too much for people to witness. I think if they keep the gore down, he has a unique vision in his films so it could be great. Hard to top Carpenter though, but if anyone can reinvent a classic I guess Zombie is the only horror director capable of doing it. Time will tell. That one comes out August 31. I have read early reviews and they seem okay. I am waiting on more confirmation as more people see early showings and see what SOME critics say. I think some critics are too full of themselves to actually just enjoy a movie. I really, really am not big on the nudity that is supposed to be in this film. At least if there is a lot of boob shots they should throw us women a line and give us some guys without shirts also.

I am an animal rights activist, I believe wholeheartedly that all animal have the same rights we do. Particularly pets, because they rely on our love and companionship as much as a child. That is why I am so very outraged over the NFL star who was funding dog fighting. Not only is this illegal in all 50 states but it is to me the most deplorable thing in the world. To hurt a dog is unthinkable. Dogs require so very little to be happy. Food & Water, naturally, but the thing they most crave is love. That is because their love knows no bounds. Their hearts are so pure. The thought of harming something so innocent – how could they? There is no such thing as a bad dog, they are not made that way. Dogs have bad owners which make them miserable & sometimes aggressive.
But it is people like this NFL player who are in the public eye and kids look up to them. Especially boys. To have someone that could be a hero to a kid behave in this disgusting way says a lot about society unfortunately. We, as humans who basically have control of the planet right now, we have a responsibility – no a DUTY to treat animals that rely on us with love and respect. We would certainly want to be treated fairly. All animals are equal, even though so much of the time we humans like to think/act like we are better.
Please visit the ASPCA or the HUMANE SOCIETY for ways to help bring these criminals to justice, to the full extent of the law. Don’t let this be YET ANOTHER case where a wealthy person can get away with anything they wish. Let’s stop this disturbing trend now, show the lawmakers we are watching and demand justice FOR EVERYONE – no matter if they are human or other animals.
