Still feel unwell and now I’m thinking that maybe I should
stop my prescription for a day or two to see if that as any effect. At the
moment, I’ve stopped drinking anything that isn’t water in case too much orange
juice or alcohol is causing me to feel unwell.
And as I’d watched Captain America: The Winter Soldier
yesterday I watched Captain America: Civil War.
I really like both these films as they build on the previous Marvel films and
set up future films while still being fun, action-packed emotional stories.
They also manage to cherry pick the best bits of the comics while ignore the
stuff that didn’t work (e.g. having Cap vs Iron Man, but not using the comic
book reason for their fight).
I’d also watched a load of old Have I Got News For You on
youtube, this great Louis Theroux interview on Scientology,
I read Renato Jones, Freelancer Season 2 #2, which is about (in a nutshell) a vigilante who
takes on the 1%:
This is a weird comic, as it does take on some very serious
issue, but does have its tongue on its cheek:
At the moment, Renato is having a crisis of conscience and
is ensure if he is making a difference and it’ll be interesting to see where Andrews’
takes the story next, as he has built up a lot of character arcs/developments in
the main and supporting cast that are outside of the “…the rich are evil and deserve
to be punished…”.
There is also an interesting letter in #2 defending the 1%/the
rich and equating them with persecuted minorities (such as BMEs, LGBT people,
etc.) which ignores the fact that being rich is a choice (you can give away
your money, but you can’t stop being black, Asian, gay, trans, etc.) and that
since the last financial crash the richer have gotten much richer and secure
and the poor have gotten poorer and less secure.
I also decided to stop taking medication (so no 11pm dose) to
see if that’ll help make me feeling better (or not).
