Beware of the Succubus, Jesus Luz

She's Deadly

Push didn't shove anyone to the movies

Push, the super-powered movie of the week, failed to reach audiences this past weekend. It looked promising and could have start up more interest in psychic powers, but what happened? What went wrong.

Maybe the story?

The story in Push was nothing new, in fact I felt like it was a missing New Mutants story from the 80s. The characters were rehashed folks from Marvel's New Universe series, Psi Force. There was nothing new or really exciting, however some of the fight scenes were good.

This could have been a cartoon or a movie on the Sci-Fi channel, but not a major motion picture. But, I guess they needed to see this crash and simmer before putting anymore stuff like this out. Still a decent try for the super-powers genre, maybe next time.

All Across the Country: Gay Marriage and Partnerships

A Mercer County judge has granted permission to a lesbian couple married in Canada to divorce in New Jersey.

The Wyoming legislature voted down a public referendum on same-sex marriage.

Phoenix's domestic-partner registry opens this week for couples wishing to make their relationships at least kind of legit.

The Senate passed legislation that would allow Virginia companies to extend life insurance benefits to the partners of its gay employees.

Rep. Jackie Biskupski, D-Salt Lake City, has decided to pull a bill that calls for repealing part of a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

State Sen. Robert Ford, D-Charleston, introduced the Civil Union Equality Act, which would allow same-sex civil unions in the state that would have all the benefits, privileges, rights and responsibilities of marriage.

Give the Man what he Wants

The Polls/People are speaking about Obama's Stimulus Plan.

According to the people:

Sixty-seven percent of the American people approve of how President Obama's handling his efforts to pass an economic stimulus bill, as opposed to 48% for Democrats in Congress and 31% for congressional Republicans. In addition, the disapproval rating for Congressional Republicans remains a "staggeringly high" 58%. And the public continues to view the package as a matter of paramount concern. 51% of those polled consider the plan's passage to be "critically important," with "Only 16% say it is 'not that important.'"

Repubs need to get in order. Obama's economy tour could paint them as the Legion of Doom and could cost them support and votes. Maybe they should realize who's in charge. There's no time for playing games

Smith working to bring Gay Marriage to New York

At a Human Rights Campaign on Saturday, Senate Majority Leader Malcolm A. Smith wowed the crowd about same sex marriage coming to New York, however reality kicked in as he continued his speech.

“Although we do not have the number of votes at this time needed to pass the marriage equality gender bill this legislative session, we are committed to pursuing its passage. And the question is not if; the question is when. So our work still needs to happen for it to happen this year. But I’m going to need your help, and I’m going to need your prayers.”

He working on it, but this could be long journey. Remember, he was dealing with the 'Gang of Three' during his selection just a few months ago. It will not be easy gaining all the needed votes, but I think the support is there.

Is this the Fall of Chris Brown?

No! I can't believe this and I hope there's some explanation about what happened, but this is news.

HuffPo reports:

Chris Brown has just turned himself in to the LAPD.

Chris is being investigated by the LAPD for an alleged domestic violence felony battery that occurred early this morning near Hancock Park in L.A.

According to the victim, her and Chris got into an argument which became violent -- and cops say the woman in question had "visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker."

The LAPD says Brown had left the scene by the time they arrived -- and the identity of the victim is not released in domestic battery cases.

The rumor is that the woman assaulted is Rihanna! He's just a kid! What's happening these days! I hope...well I guess we will see.

CW continues to F**k up Prime Time

They are like a rash that just won't stop coming. CW continues the trend of bad ideas by picking up a pilot based on the "Vampire Diaries" books. And these books were lame, fan fiction at best. Okay, some fan fiction is good, I'm talking about the broke ass versions.

CW pointed out that these books were out before Twilight, like that makes any difference. This story is all about 2 vamp brothers, one's good and the other's bad. And there's some silly girl in love with the both of them.

Bright Lady, why do they insist on dumbing down our vampires? Then to add salt to the wound, they have Gossip Girl production company Alloy Entertainment on board. Scream and Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson, and Kyle XY writer Julie Plec to deal with the story, and now the book series' company plans on re-releasing the books to ride on Twilight's success.

So pretty much, this will fail. We are done with the sappy vamps and CW's massacre of good stories. There are comic books with better stories and True Blood? Hello?

CW, save your money and stop wasting our time.
