There are now two Democrats running for Texas Senator, Colin Allred and Roland Gutierrez. I'm initially favoring Allred because he's local to DFW, but we'll see how the primary goes. Whoever wins will run against the odious Ted Cruz.
Some Georgia Democrat is becoming a Republican now. This after the North Carolina Democrat who did the same in April. What is with these party traitors, and also Kyrsten Sinema turning into the opposite of the progressive she was elected as?
Meanwhile, Barbie mania continues in the run up to the movie release next week. A lot of stores have Barbie branded merchandise, or at least hot pink clothes. It's so expensive, though, so I can't really get anything. On the weekend, I saw Joy Ride which was a fun comedy, but it apparently got overshadowed at the box office due to bigger movies.
One of the movie trailers I saw was for A Haunting in Venice, the latest Poirot starring Branagh. How on earth did he mangle Christie's Hallowe'en Party into this seance movie set in Venice rather than England? They've clearly aged up the child characters and added supernatural elements that weren't originally in the story. Well, all the more reason for me not to watch this one, despite the presence of Michelle Yeoh.
Apparently, the Emmy nominations came out yesterday and the awards are tentatively scheduled for September, with possible postponement if the Writers Strike continues, and the actors also strike. Who knows what will happen with the summer press tour too. You know, Hollywood execs (the AMPTP), you wouldn't need to keep postponing stuff indefinitely if you'd just fucking negotiate a deal!! You're losing big marketing opportunities because you won't pay your writers and actors!
