ANTHONY CUMIA: "PLUS SIZE PARK HOPPERS" = FATTIES AT DISNEY:
Disney got folks treating the park like it's an Olympic event - strategizing snack breaks, stroller shortcuts, and mobility scooters like they're Formula 1
pit crews. 'Plus Size Park Hoppers' sounds less like a fan club and more like a survival unit.

I tried Peacemaker, on HBO MAX. It was decent, though a little raunchy
for my taste. I guess I should expect that from HBO MAX, since they
think raunchiness makes them grown up. It was interesting enough that
I'd try it again, although I'm not hooked yet.
The Peacemaker is a supersoldier with no war, sort of a Captain
America type but riddled with flaws. He seems to be in the DC universe,
since someone referenced Aquaman as a real person. He sees himself as
an advocate for peace, no matter how many people he has to kill, but
everyone else regards him as simply a superpowered hit man.
I fell asleep and missed the ending, so he may have had an ephiphany
about that. I'm not going to bother rewatching the ending; e2 will
probably have a summary anyway.

Peacemaker isn't really a supersoldier since he didn't take any serum
and has no enhanced abilities. They even comment on it in an episode >referring to him as just a costumed vigilante. His sidekick is
literally called Vigilante and is similarly a regular guy wearing a
costume. They both just like to kill the bad guys, who are sometimes
good guys who they confuse with bad guys. Or really, really, evil guys
who they confuse for good guys. But hey, that's our Peacemaker.
The show is set in the current DC universe. It was originally set in
the "Snyderverse" (Peacemaker was also featured in "The Suicide Squad
which James Gunn directed). But when James Gunn took over running DC,
he kept the show and retconned the show to be set in his new DC universe.
It can be a little confusing because they retained some actors and the >events of the past movies are still cannon, while obviously getting a
new Superman and ignoring certain other major events and characters.
The way Gunn described it, the past movie events are cannon if they are >directly referenced in the new stuff.

The show gets better.

On Wednesday I watched:
Slingshot (Showtime) - This is a 2024 sci-fi movie starring Casey
Affleck and Laurenec Fishburne. Affleck plays an astronaut on a mission
to Titan but the mission starts to run into problems with the crew. The >movie reminded me of "Pandorum" only not as good.
Survivor - There was a major medical emergency this episode. I'm sure
there is probably a rule written down somewhere, that I guess they maybe >follow. But as a longtime viewer who only casually pays attention, it
feels like they are inconsistent with how they handle medical
emergencies in terms of how they allow it to impact the game. Anyway,
it lead to a very interesting tribal council.
