For the Ladies: True Crime and Britt Baker.

*This blog post was started on December 2, 2021.

Too much work to know what the hell is going on. Tis the season.

I suppose working so much keeps me out of trouble, until you are expected to be a loan professional. This must be the reason the bathroom has been out of order at the bank for the last couple of days. It is karma balancing things out. To go into further details may violate the confidentiality agreement with the bank. With all the stuff I say about my family, parents preparing an NDA when their child moves out might be a wise move.

The lack of free time means I have not spoken to my folks recently. A write up is the worst that will happen to me at the bank. I think I can spare one more. Thus, there is just a sense of dread that somewhere, I am going to run into some trauma.

It is a yin and yang thing. Screw up someone's credit, I still get the offer to renew my apartment with $200 off my first month rent. Toilet goes out at the day job, the libertarian at the stall next to me is leaving for a bank job in my ex's hometown. There are not that many banks in Tuscola. Do I warn my ex's mom about a possible mistake?

All things considered, at least I know I am well informed outside of Central Illinois. I have a coworker watching a crime doc about Lori Vallow-Daybell. They are a fan of true crime entertainment and were perplexed not being aware of this case. My surprise came from the realization that people may not be reading enough. Then again, if we did not have so many mass shootings to take up the press, we can capitalize on every Casey Anthony-reminiscent crazy crime tale.

Of course I told my coworker to march against guns for this reason. At least agree with no more semi-automatic weapons. How well would that fuck up in Michigan have done amassing a body count if he only had six rounds and a hammer to pull back? With this power to compromise, I really got to get the progressives the girl who took my virginity gained the support of in her U.S. Representative campaign to follow me. If we turn this into a performance, I am as charismatic as the next bloke.

Aside from the fellow whose credit I may have screwed up (because my branch refuses to advance any of its employees thus ensuring they will not have the training to deal with odd scenarios), I have been focusing on the ladies around me. Vague pronouns are being done away with in the name of transitions. It is a weak segue way, but can you come up with a better one?

The Disgruntled's Women's Wrestling Power Rankings (12/7/2021):

I assure you that I am researching to see if a Tag Team Championship lineage can be formed. It will not start in 1983 like most of the DRCW Championships. The NWA did their best, but by the 80's, it disappeared with the territories and brass knuckles belts.

With holiday craziness creating weird days at the bank, I have actually fallen behind in a lot of my creative aspects. Tonight, the editing of my podcast with Gregory Carl about the DC Animated Universe will commence. It should have occurred last night (if only he did not have a potty mouth), but trying to get my tablets and computers to sync up was a challenge that took up most of my evening. Oh the irony of writing a female-themed blog when a lot of the file moving were Suicide Girl pictures.

Because I needed to give my hundred(s) of listeners a head up, I offered up my coverage of the Criterion Collection kaiju classic "The X From Outer Space". If anyone is aware of another sub 100-minute movie that starts with X to feature in Ally's Accessories Shop on Etsy's Trash Feature Reviews, you have 365 days to let me know about it.

This is why I am relying on coming up with a women's wrestling power ranking. It is going to be a lot faster to come up with 10 women that should be touted instead of 40 years of teams that rarely share that aesthetic.

The Number 1 Woman Wrestler in the World: Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D.

She is the current AEW Women's World Champion after defeating the longest reigning champion, Hikaru Shida.
The AEW Wormen's World Championship is the current Disgruntled's Real World Championship.
AEW is currently having a tournament to crown their secondary women's championship, the TBS Championship. This further legitimizes her reign over the AEW Women's division.

The Number 2 Woman Wrestler in the World: Becky Lynch

She is the current WWE Raw Women's Champion (A recognized world title by DRCW). I wonder how long before they start calling their championships the USA and Fox championships.
She is presenting herself as a heel, but a more respectable one than the Smackdown Women's Champion.
She has not lost a title match via pinfall or submission since May 19, 2019, where she had to defend both brands' belts.

The Number 3 Woman Wrestler in the World: Charlotte Flair

She is the current WWE Smackdown Women's Champion (A recognized world title by DRCW).
Her stock will probably rise because they will be building to a Bianca Belair for WrestleMania.
She is the WWE office's preferred champion.
She has had the busier year between the two brand's champions.

The Number 4 Woman Wrestler in the World: Kamille

She his the current NWA Women's World Champion (A recognized world title by DRCW).
The NWA Women's World Championship was being used as a secondary title briefly in AEW, hence it cannot outrank a primary championship.
She is by far the most imposing of all Women's Champions at this time.

The Number 5 Woman Wrestler in the World: Utami Hayashishita

She is the current World of Stardom Champion (A recognized world title by DRCW).
She is one of the first women to wrestle on an NJPW card (one at the Tokyo Dome).
Stardom had been serving as a feeder of women's talent to NXT.

The Number 6 Woman Wrestler in the World: Zoey Skye

She is the current Shimmer Champion (A recognized world title by DRCW).
Impact did their best to protect the previous champion, Kimber Lee, by putting her in tag team matches and as the second to their Women's Champion.
She currently lacks a Wikipedia page. This may mean that she will be the next big thing, but it will be a while before we can prove that.

The Number 7 Woman Wrestler in the World: Riho

She is the former and inaugural AEW Women's World Champion.
She is the current top contender to the AEW Women's Champion after defeating the champion to earn the ranking.

The Number 8 Woman Wrestler in the World: Liv Morgan

She is currently feuding over the Raw Championship.
Multiple WWE Network documentaries imply that she will break through at some point.

The Number 9 Woman Wrestler in the World: Sasha Banks

She is currently feuding over the Smackdown Championship.
She is a multiple time Raw Champion and a former Smackdown Champion.

The Number 10 Woman Wrestler in the World: Mickie James

The current Impact Knockouts Champion.
Multiple time WWE Women's and former Diva's Champion.
Impact has the greater exposure, so it places their championship ahead of America's first secondary championship, the Heart of Shimmer.

I think this is a good place to start when it comes to ranking the talent. If only I did not need a three-day weekend to relax, Shimmer would have given me a clearer idea of where their championship currently stands. Things should not get too crazy until the TBS Championship is determined. In other words, if I have the time, we will find out what the DRCW Women's Tag Team Championship will look like. Provided I can get through the remaining 60 movies to rank for NinetyForChill.com: The Podcast.

Deserves a Second Chance

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016).

I find the DC movies, or at least Zack Snyder, was trying to bring comic books to the big screen as opposed to adapting comic books for the big screen. If you read, (or watch the excellent animated adaptation of) "The Dark Knight Returns", it is a very slow build to the battle between the Bat and Supe. This is regarded as one of the best threads in comics.

As a guy who fell in love with wrestling in the 1980's, the very methodical showdown is what I loved. It's a love letter to comic book fans who read and note every detail and want to try figuring out the plot before the character do. Come at the flick this way, and I think you will get something out of it.

Tropic Thunder (2008)

This is a feature that dares you to be offended. When director Ben Stiller is that forthcoming like Robert Downey Sr. was with 1969's "Putney Swope", an audience saying that something is in poor taste, hence not funny, means they are afraid to make a mockery of a concept.

My own experience with junkies bankrupting me allows me to thoroughly enjoy Jack Black's making addiction seem ridiculous. Robert Downey Jr. nails his taboo performance and I would say helps the call for actors from a demographic to be the first people called on for the roles representing them. As for the "Forest Gump" knock off jokes, they serve as a way to ridicule us for what we accepted (and encouraged) as fine a decade prior. The narrative that controls the pace in the second act can drag, but the content that is delivered cannot be cut.
