As crazy as this might sound, I never saw it since its release in 2003. Its long and I realize many complain about it being boring. Yes, it has some slow moments, but WOW it is an amazing film making achievement! Worth watching if you can respect how much work goes into films.
Instead of me telling you the 90D and R6 are the best cameras in the world and you should go buy either of them, lets talk about some of their weaknesses you should know about before buy.

I watched the first episode of Wandavision last night in Disney Plus. Im a huge MARVEL fan. Im not really sure what is going on, but wow I lost patience after about 5 minutes and basically skipped through parts after that. It feels like Bewitched from the 70’s, and I really have no idea where they are going with this, but I feel like i ordered a steak and got a salad. Ill try Episode 2 tonight.
I recently asked my Canon R5/R6 Facebook User Group which features they would love to see in a future firmware update for the R5 and R6. These are the top features users would love to see. Which feature would you like Canon to add?

Netflix, the streaming video service which has been one of my go to’s for years started carrying a movie last year called “Cuties”.
While I have not personally seen the film, reviews are that there were scenes and themes that many felt were trying to normalize the sexualization of young children. I had heard there was an indictment against Netflix and thought they had pulled it down, but I later found out this is not the case.
I realize there are lots of objectionable films on Netflix, but to me this crosses the line. I wont be a Netflix subscriber as long as it carries this film. I do not want my money, no matter how little, going to any company that condones anything related to the sexualization of children. There are other places I can watch movies online without dealing with or supporting this. I understand and realize many will disagree with me.
I know this post is much later than when this all went down, but in that issues with the freedom of speech & social media are about to get very complicated, this is one of the topics I feel is not justified by an artist, no matter what their reasoning is. I also feel I need to be more of an active voice on the matter, even if many disagree with me. I think Netflix is wrong to have this film and this will be my position until it is no longer carried.
For the most part I am 100% supportive of the freedom of speech, even when I don’t like it.
I can also say, since cancelling my subscription, I have not missed it all!
Ill likely be blogging much more than I have in a while.
