Justice with Judge Mablean (2014)
What is she teaching young women in America?
This could be a spoiler if you have not seen her 2014 cases. Stop reading if you haven't seen this episode and want to see it again if they run it. It has been on TV at least twice so far. I just saw the most horrendous case and ruling from this terrible judge. A young woman had religious beliefs that made her want to save sex for marriage. She told her boyfriend and they dated for 6 months and he said he "understood." Then he wanted to take her to Paris. He bought her lingerie and thought he could talk her into sex. When she said "no" again, he left her that night with half of a round-trip ticket, very little money so she couldn't stay in Paris or exchange her ticket for a different day flight to get home early. She took him to court to get the money back from the ticket exchange. She was very hurt and in tears. Judge Mablean first shouted at her to give details on what the girl WOULD let the boyfriend do. She and the boy repeatedly said, "Everything but sex." That wasn't good enough. She kept shouting and insisting that the girl should spell it out. And then asked her if this was how she "teased" the man. The young woman looked defeated and said. "sure." Mablean kept up questions about teasing the boy. Apparently in her mind, letting a man pet you or do other things is "teasing" him even if you have a prior understanding of no sex before marriage. So the Judge ruled against the girl who was left high and dry because she apparently deserved it for leading the guy on. I was appalled. Is this really what we want our young women to learn? As a women, you cannot date or engage in any physical contact unless you are willing to finish it and let the man have sex with you. Otherwise you are just teasing him. We apparently aren't allowed to have that choice. You either don't let the guy touch you (or maybe you just aren't allowed to set boundaries--but he can so he doesn't get frustrated) unless you are ready to have sex. In other words, the guys can have what they want. And what would she have ruled if he had forced himself on her? That she deserved it because she led him on? There are thousands of young woman out there who can love and have a man caress her but not have sex with her and they can have a lovely relationship and often leads up to marriage. It used to be that way for just about everyone. But now, idiots like this judge tell the men they deserve to have the sex they want because above all else, the men shouldn't be frustrated. Judge Mablean should be fired and muzzled so she doesn't hurt our young women any more than she has already.
Supreme Justice with Judge Karen (2013)
Judge Karen is very stupid and contradicts herself
Today I finally decided to stop watching her. She continually listens to someone explaining something and then when she is ready to rule, she exclaims that she doesn't understand. It is usually something that everyone has heard of in today's society, but she seems to live in a box. Then yesterday she criticized one parent for not bringing her child to testify because then she, Judge Karen, didn't know for sure what happened. The next case brought her child in order to testify and she rolled her eyes and acted like that was terrible parenting to bring the child! She almost never rules. No one ever gets justice. She always finds a reason to pass and dismiss the case for stupid reasons. I would never in a million years go to her for any justice. Some say it is all fake. I don't know if it is or not, but she looks mighty stupid no matter how real it is.
Bring It On: Fight to the Finish (2009)
As a part of the older generation, I hated this movie
I am older than most of the people giving reviews. I was a cheerleader and I had two daughters that were also cheerleaders. I have enjoyed the movies until I got to this one. It irritated me so much in the first 15 minutes I nearly didn't watch the rest of it. Terrible acting was of course, the first thing I saw. But my biggest turn off was injecting rampant sexuality into everything. Here is the message: You weren't a good cheerleader until everything you did simulated sexual moves. The younger generation often doesn't recognize it or care. But talent is talent and adding sex to everything to make it a "winner" is stupid. It reminds me of the junior high toilet humor in movies because no one can think of anything better. So to get these stupid "stereotyped" white girls to get with the program, they must get together with the "stereotyped" Latinos of the poorer section of town and they are going to teach them how to bump and grind and then they can do their cheers better. They can be sensual and that seems to be the goal here. I have watched a lot of competition cheer leading and this was awful. Both sides of the coin, the whites and Latinos ought to sue the movie company for teaching the movie goers lies about their community and their heritage.
