Please Stop With The Irrelevant Sales

That time of year is coming up, so it's time to put out this post.

 I get a little annoyed when I see business ads, events, or sales that are based around the time of year or an upcoming holiday, but have no connection to the actual product or service.
I understand a car lot doing a Christmas sale. But a car lot doing a Halloween sale? What does Halloween have to do with cars?
I just saw an hair salon ad saying "Savings you can FALL into". Literally any business can use that and it would have just as much connection as it would for a hair salon.
I'm happy to have seasonal promotions. But can you please find a way to make the season relate to your product/service?

Chloe Bennet? Please?

Every time I see anything about Avengers: Infinity War , I feel bogged down, even though I should be really excited for it. I finally realized the reason: No Chloe Bennet. At this point, all I care about with the MCU is what the official title of Spider-Man: The Winter Formal will be (because what else do you call the sequel to Homecoming ?), what new genres they'll explore, and how they'll have the TV shows will affect the movies. Chloe Bennet's character from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. would be a fantastic addition to Avengers: Infinity  War . Her character is powerful enough to be helpful to the team, is from a show people already like, and is extremely easy to introduce to an audience that has never seen Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D . I would love to see Chloe Bennet in a Marvel movie. (The fact that she's extremely attractive doesn't hurt.)

Should The Book of Mormon Be A Movie?

Over the last few years, my brother and I have been brainstorming about how to make an epic movie (or series of movies) out of The Book of Mormon. We didn't want something simple. We want something epic - a grand adventure for the ages, like we sometimes say the Book of Mormon itself is. I've heard a lot of people love the idea, and I've heard a lot of concerns. I'd like to address some of the concerns and see if I can help. Perhaps you could help me address my major concern with making the Book of Mormon into a movie. If you have any more concerns, let me know. I'd love to discuss them. Concern #1: "It would be rated R." This is the single most frequent concern I hear. I even heard this from someone who played in the Bible videos. To be fair, it's a legitimate concern. There are plenty of lots of R-rated ancient war movies - from Gladiator  (2000), to 300  (2006) to the extended edition of The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies  (2014/2015). Th

Can't The News Be Better Entertainment?

You know, if news media is just going to be fiction for the sake of entertainment, views, and discussion, I wish it would do a little better with character development and worldbuilding. Also, if the writers aren't going to have strong enough characters to make them unique, I wish they would cut out a few of the more redundant characters. I'm just glad they only have one President character at a time.
