Modern Family Should Learn from Gervais's After Life

Image
Modern Family writer's may want to take a look at Ricky Gervais's  After Life on how to write for younger actors. Pictured is the wonderful  Tommy Finnegan who played George, the nephew of  Gervais's Tony Johnson. Tommy played George, like a normal seven year kid, quite shy, the kid was a cheerful kid who had to deal with a bully. There was a natural acting ability from Tommy in his portrayal of George and that came from the writing and directing. The same can't be said from the last few seasons of Modern Family. Modern family's first few seasons were up there with the very best of  Television,  MASH Seinfeld and The Office. The last three season though are more on the level of Mrs  Brown's Boys and the worse of Everybody Loves Raymond. One of the reason why Modern Family is struggling  now is the writing for and the directing of child actor,  Jeremy Maguire who plays Joe. The actor  thru no fault off his own comes off as a Child actor and not the little boy he

Love Each Other

This is how you  react to a Terrorist attack, you show love and kindness. You love one and another. You show compassion, even though the attack may be on a group your not familiar  with or have nothing to do with, you show people that we're all  one race the human race. It just fills my heart what my old home town is doing, and once again it's standing up to a horrific terrible event. Since 9/11 the reaction hasn't always been like this, From New York to Bali, to London to Paris,  to Norway to Switzerland,   Al qaeda to ISIS, from Right wing  racist skinhead scum to  Religious extremists,  when there's been a horrible attack, people's reaction to those attacks haven't always been the best. From Islamophobic comments to the "What about Iraq"  comments. From "Why are you giving sympathy to these people with all the wars they have caused" comments,   to "Hey you showed sympathy to them why not this attack" comments" From people wh

My Problem with Social Media Videos

Image
I have a huge problem with Social Media videos, like the one that Erina Wehi posted, you just don't get the full story.  You get a horrific allegation against another party without the full story or even proof of those allegations. You then get people on  twitter and facebook, destorying a person's life.  They get  abuse, they get death threats, they get  their whole life judge by a 90  second video, that may of been heavily edited. I watched today's video, and while I firmly believe this type of racism  and ugliness is firmly entrenced in New Zealand's socity, I beleieve we aren't getting the whole picture of the video posted today I haven't link to the video, because I dont want it to get more hits, a quick google search of Erina Wehi and you will come to it. In the video she sits calmly in her car,  and retells an incident when she alleges this man cut her off and screamed out all sort of repugnant racial abuse. She then tells the viewer, that she has followe

Mark Taylor Should Never Be Allowed Back in New Zealand

Image
Lets make one thing clear,  Mark Taylor denounce his New Zealand citizenship, when he went to Syria and fought for Terrorist group, ISIS. He is a supporter of slaverly, a supporter of Rape, a supporter of child abuse, a supporter of murder and a supporter of terrorist incidents around the world. The crimes he wouldve commited with his time with ISIS will be plenty, he deserves no sympathy at all. How anyone can be not only supporting a campaign  to bring him home, but wanting the Government to pay for it, is beyond belief. If PM Ardern  signs off on this, then she will be a one term Prime Minister. In the past few days, I have read Bloggers and Journalists and members of the public, try to down play his sickening crimes. They've been trying to paint him as just a  good time Kiwi joker who got confused. Well make one thing clear. He didnt just have one two many beers at a pub and on a dare went to Syria to fight for Isis. He didnt just read a brochure  that said "You can teach

Garth Brooks Stadium Tour 2019-2022

Image
Garth Brooks is about to embark on a three year Stadium tour, there have been rumors about what sort of show Garth is going to put on, I think it's fair to guess what type of show the G man is going to be doing.. First off it's in Stadiums not Arenas, so there's going to be some sort of visual component to it. What  the visuals might be is anyone's guess, he used screens for the first time in his 2014-2017  Arena tour, the stage set up doesnt seem to have any tricks up it's sleeves for this tour, so I think the tricks might be Garth himself. He's calling it a retro tour,  he's bringing back Ty England and other's from the 90's, although he has stated he wont be flying across the stage or smashing guitars, I kinda think he will bring back some of the stage pranks  to wow the crowd. A Garth Brooks  concert is all about having fun, hell he is naming his new album "Fun",  so if you put two and two together well it's going to be a water toss
