Six Degrees of Leonard. (or... 'Maybe None of this Shit Matters. It's a Daydream')

Earlier today, I was watching Marvel's Daredevil on Netflix. (again. judge me.) It was the episode where Matt Murdock briefly mentions how became blind in the first place. Every time I think of Matt's accident, I think of the origin of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Why? Because they are connected. The same canister of radioactive material that created Daredevil, spawned the Ninja Turtles. See that? Crossover. Shared Universe. Sorta. These crossovers can be really fun, (i.e. The Marvel Cinematic Universe) or they can be really confusing, and damning.

Giving the Devil his Due. (Why you LOVE Daredevil and don't even know it)

I've liked Daredevil since I was a kid.

I would read my Dad's old collections, and I remember it like yesterday when I first met the Man Without Fear. 

Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 #16 -Spidey was bamboozled into performing at a circus where the performers were robbing the patrons, via the Ringmaster. (not just a title, but also the character's name) The Ringmaster had a special hat that would hypnotize the audience, and the unsuspecting Spider-Man. Coincidentally enough, there was a person in the crowd who couldn't be subdued by the Ringmaster's hat.

Because he couldn't see it. 

Sorry about the job. I had to go see about a girl #30DayChallenge -Day 5: Your Favorite Drama Movie

"...You don't know about real loss, 'cause that only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much..."
                                             -Robin Williams as Sean Maguire (Good Will Hunting, 1997)

I like a lot of things. I'm fairly indecisive too, so I always cringe a bit when someone asks me, "What's your favorite (insert whatever thing here)?"

For the longest time, I never knew that my favorite drama film was. Then Robin Williams killed himself earlier this year. As the over opinionated masses poured over their keyboards about how this complete stranger affected their lives, I also took a trip back down into some of his works, a couple episodes of Mork & Mindy, the films Aladdin (of course), World's Greatest Dad, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Birdcage, Dead Poets Society, Hook (probably my favorite RW film), and a little independent film from 1997 called Good Will Hunting. It was that night two days after Williams' suicide, I sat in bed watching this film I had not seen in years, that I discovered my favorite drama.

"...Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."
                                                           -Alfred Pennyworth (The Dark Knight, 2008)

Jason NEVER scared me.
Freddy was a comedian. Chucky was a ridiculously stupid concept. Mike Myers was just confusing. I've never been moved by America's concept of 'horror' to be honest, Maybe it was because my mother watched a crap load of horror films with me when I was a kid, or maybe that was the first signs of non emotional personality. Who knows?
Then I saw 'The Shining' and while the majority wasn't really a big deal to me, there was one scene that stood out in my head. That really bothered me down to my core.

I didn't have the best relationship with my father as a kid. I still don't.
Apparently neither did Henry Jones Jr., better known as Indiana Jones. In the third installment of the franchise, Indy (Harrison Ford) returns to search for his father, (Sean Connery) who has been abducted by the Nazi party in order to find the Holy Grail. While on the surface, this film is about both Jones finding the artifact- in reality it's about Indiana discovering himself and developing a rapport with his dad.
