The new season of Survivor is premiering tonight with a revisit of Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty. It’s hard to believe it’s here and from the promos this will be a brutal season. Survivor remains the granddaddy of all reality competition shows. They do a great job of keeping this show fresh and interesting. This will be very interesting all season.

The Color Of A Hero
I don’t understand why it’s always a pretty white gal and guy who are in the movie to save the day? To me it seems like diversity is a strength and there are many capable actors and actresses of color who can be the super hero. It really doesn’t send a good message when its all about the brave and the beautiful. Can the brave be average looking? Is there a rule that the hero has to be a hunk or the heroine supposed to be hot? Also do the heroes have to be always slender, like they might need to eat a sandwich or something.
I really don’t mean to be judgemental like I mentioned in my previous post but this is a real world problem that spills out into the cinema and on TV. We could say it’s the writers who make this happen but just think if Harry Potter was of Asian heritage or if Katniss Everdeen were African American. Maybe there needs to be a change in how the world is looked at. Heroes come in all packages and shapes and colors. It’s kind of how we were made. Just saying.

For nine years on Fox’s hit sci-fi show “The X-Files,” FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully searched for an alien truth that was seemingly hidden in the skies. But as they return to screens this week, the truth might be much closer to home.

The X-Files was a staple of Sunday night TV for years. It’s return is a walk down memory lane for many and a introduction to others of some great characters. I want to believe this will be great.
2016 Has Not Started Well
There have been a great number of talented and influential people have passed away this year. Somehow we need to restart the year. However loss is a part of life and it’s something we all must accept, reluctantly. Many people are mourning right now for one reason or another. We have the legacy and things they left behind in the form of music, film, television and more importantly their families who now must carry on without their loved one.
In Memory of Glen Frey of The Eagles
Glen Frey, founding member of the classic rock band The Eagles passed away today after a lengthy illness. His music with the Eagles influenced a generation of musicians and his solo career was part of the soundtrack of my youth. “You Belong To The City” from the Miami Vice Soundtrack was my favorite song of his because it has a wicked sax solo to get the song started. It also told a interesting story lyrically.
Glen Frey thank you for the music, memories and more.
