What Happen to the TV Media Junkie?

In 2011 I abandoned  my Freedoms Right Network because I was tired of politics and of campaigning. I was just burnt out. So for the next five years I started a new network called The TVMedia Junkie. I just wanted to talk about TV and movies, No problem right? Just talk about what is going on in my favorite TV shows and movies, write reviews, chat it up about The Walking Dead and Marvel vs DC movies and when the next Star Wars movies will be coming out. You get the point.

Things went well for a while, I even spoke on a blog cast a few times. It was truly fun and I was enjoying  myself. Nothing makes me more happier then sitting on my couch in PJ's with my snacks and soft drink diving into my mindless world of TV, or going to the theater with my over priced snacks and watching the show.

But then came election 2016. I understand that we don't all agree on what direction this country should go. But I should not be shamed into thinking their way nor should I shame them. But it's getting ridiculous. These protest against Trump are out of control. It's like they fight to have no responsibility, a fight to have no respect for this great nation or whats left of it. I vote for conservative values but I am not a perfect conservative, I have my liberal moments, but when it comes to my country I aim to the right as much as possible. That is how I want my country to run. I want responsibility. Is that so wrong? I don't care what you want to do in your life or what you do in the bed room, but don't tell me it's normal and please stay away from children unless they are your own. That is what I believe. You can live in your world but don't tell me I have to join you.

With that being said, I found it hard to promote a industry that was trying to tell me how to think and feel so I backed way off of writing reviews and opinions about my favorite TV shows. The fun of doing it was gone. As much as I enjoy the fantasy world, I do not want to live in it all the time. How can I write about how great a actor was in a movie when he was out bashing people for voting for Trump? How can I support a actress for doing a great job in a movie but then she is out in the middle of the street naked or wearing a vagina suit screaming obscenities at the President or wishing him dead or screaming for his impeachment simply because your candidate did not win?

I am not perfect, but I believe in God country and family and the what the Bible teaches. Does that mean I follow the Bible perfectly? No I fail daily but everyday I try to be better. I like My TV and Movies, but I have a remote and I can stop my streaming services and not go to the movies. And I don't have to buy the next Blue Ray. Its my choice!

Hopefully I will start writing again about movie and TV opinions. But I am in no rush. If Hollywood sucks the fun out of watching, then I will lose my interest also 

My Movie Review Process

A few weeks ago I started looking at my DVD and Blue Ray collection, and thought I have over 400 movies and I do not have them on a rotation. Some of these movies I have only watched maybe one or two times, but some of these are such great movies, critics may have hated them but they are OK to me.  My past attempts to do movie reviews  just sucked, however some of the movie reviews I did where not that bad, so I examined them to see what worked.

I decided to keep it simple, and I made a template movie review plan, not to long or short but simple and to the point. I got a great response, and many hits on the reviews. so I thought lets look over my collection and make a plan.

I made some ground rules.

Movies like Marvel, Franchise sequels like Star Wars and Star Trek I am not going to do reviews. I just enjoy them and I like the fantasy, so why be a critic to a world I like to visit?  I can break that rule if I want, and as soon as the new Fantastic 4 movie is on Blue Ray, I will review it, but I may give a more in depth look to form my opinion. The reviews for that movie are horrible, but I want to see it for myself and make my own decision and express my own opinions. I was planning to see it on the big screen, but my money is tight and I was scared away.

Some may be more open and no template like I did with American Sniper . But most will be template style. When I do get to see the movie on the big screen I will review it as soon as possible. If I get advance screenings passes I will review it before opening day.

As time goes on I hope my style improves, it has been said the more you write the better you get. I hope so because I do enjoy blogging.
