Missing has been canceled. I only caught a few minutes from scattered episodes as I was channel-surfing. Apparently the show was about a middle-aged mom trying to rescue her kidnapped son. Chuck Norris in a skirt.
Another example of just how far removed from terra firm Hollywood has become. To begin with, why is a middle-aged mom physically protecting her 18-year-old son? If push came to shove, shouldn’t that be the other way around? Isn’t a son in his youthful prime faster and stronger than a mother in her mid-40s? Not to mention that her son was played by a 26-year-old actor. Shouldn't he be her bodyguard, not vice versa?
Really, now–how stupid can you get?
To be sure, there are some women who could best some men in hand-to-hand combat. If they cast Ronda Rousey as the mother, it would be a bit more convincing (although she’s too young to have a son that age) But, of course, Ashley Judd isn’t Ronda Rousey. She's a has-been fashion model. It’s no wonder the show was canceled after a few episodes.
Steve- I recommend just chucking your television. I did it decades ago and I'm a better person for it. Don't matter whether you're Christian or not.

ReplyDeleteNot in a culture of protracted childhood, a Peter Pan society, when boys stay boys until well into their twenties and don't grow up.
Besides, who said women need to be protected, you chauvinist swine?! And don't you dare hold the door open!
I stand corrected! :-)
