"AVENGERS: END GAME" … SPOILER ALERT!

(PLEASE DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU INTEND TO SEE “AVENGERS: END GAME” – this is my take on the movie)

May 1, 2019 

I’m not a public movie critic.  I’ve never done it before.  However, like “billion” others in this World, I am a die hard Avengers (MCU) fan; and, to my wife’s chagrin, I’ve seen all the Avenger movies multiple times on the screen & at home – and I will continue to see the other 21 MCU movies again though 😊😊.

I will NEVER see END GAME again! ☹

1.       Long is fine, generally … but this one dragged on – I’ve never been so glad for an intermission!
2.       Fine…”Thor: Ragnarok” was a comedy – however, this one took “comedy” to a new extreme!
3.       Thor & Hulk’s role just didn’t fit their respective character’s profiles – not only was one “kind” and “soppy”; the other was “drunk” & a “slob”!
4.       My hero has always been Captain America – BUT how in hell did he get married AND grow old when he goes back to the past, when he can’t age after Erksine’s Super Soldier transformation?
5.       Thanos even downed Captain Marvel!  She’s, in effect, a walking, talking TESSERACT!  How was Thanos more powerful than her?  We expected her to “save the day” – but her role was minimal.
6.       Was it a “drama” or was the movie meant to be action?  The past Avengers and MCUs have all been full action – the only true action sequence is at the end when all heroes return with Hulk’s snap.  If I wanted to see “drama”, I could have seen “Bold & Beautiful”!
7.       I grudgingly agree to Black Widow’s sacrifice (over Barton’s death due to him being a “family” man); but Iron Man!  Why!?  Iron Man had a wife and child.  Captain Marvel could have saved the day with her strength; alternatively, Captain America could have been the sacrifice due to his “single” status.
8.       I will see the ending fight sequence again though 😊

Don’t you think MCU could have done so so so much more with Endgame?

OUR PEOPLE

January 9, 2019 Our Core Values revolve around our people, our team members - Associates, Supervisors, Officers, Assistant Department heads, Department Heads and the General Manager - who work with us.  (More on our Core Values in another post however). A while back, a team member asked why I was requesting our hotels to post our monthly “Employee of the Month” [competition] on social media (incidentally we need to change this title to “Team Member of the Month”).   That surprised me as I realized our own teams don’t know the purpose of this competition … …and, at it’s very bare level, it’s to publicly  RECOGNIZE the services and contribution of our people in our hotels on a monthly basis. The “prize” is not going to make them millionaires!   It’s however the quest for recognition of an outstanding job done in the previous month – either towards guest satisfaction; or honesty; or towards her/his peer; and so on.   Two people are chosen monthly- o...

Common Sense has “left the building”!

OR, the worst, urinating on the side of the road? Do we really need to be taught common courtesies - isn’t it ingrained in humans since we are born?   NO .   Thinking back, I...

PRINT … SOCIAL … what next … HOLOGRAPHIC???

 October 6, 2020   Hotels [rooms] marketing used to be so much easier- you put an advert in the newspaper or magazine to promote your product or facility or promotion.   That’s IT!   TV was around but one of the most expensive mediums to market a hotel- and only the large Hiltons, Hyatts and Sheratons of the world used it.   Then came the ‘90s email usage on a commercial basis, so we started emailing clients and guests.   Close on its heels came the WWW … followed by our “friend”, SOCIAL MEDIA in the last decade!   Very very confusing … not only to customers – with the JUNK being posted daily - but also to hotels.   Where & who do we market to?   When will our customer be “online”? Who will see our advert in the clutter & junk of the information available on the Web & Social?   Newspapers officially have a shelf life of 24 hours … in practice, it’s a few hours – the moment the paper is put back...
