I do love Jackie Chan.
Humble, yet talented, this demure Hong Kong native is a martial artist, actor, film director, producer, stuntman, and apparently a singer too!
He is back in a new film that, again, changes what we now about him:
Some of his best fight scenes can be seen here - and yes, they're scorchers!!
What is unique about Jackie Chan is that he is funny, sometimes laugh out loud funny, as this Conan O'Brien in 1999:
Tom Hanks presents Jackie Chan with his Honorary Oscar, the Governor's Award;

TV Shows to Watch, Summer 2017
Le Mans: Racing Is Everything is a behind the scenes look at what is possibly the most famous, and hardest car race in the world. Excellent access, interesting views and Amazon TV's easy access this is a must watch for any 'petrol-head out there.
Sadly the commentary is staid and somewhat condescending, but if you can overlook that, it is a family fun watch.
Preacher. Oh my fricking Lord, Preacher is coming back. One of the most interesting and fun TV shows I have seen this decade is coming back for a second season.
Preacher is a US television series based on a DC Comics series called Preacher. This was created by two of my favorite artists - Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. The show is an incredible genre mix, with elements of drama, black comedy, supernatural and horror all present. The series premiered in May 2016 with a 10-episode season.
The basic story is that of a Preacher with issues who is taking over a parish, whilst performing miracles by using black magic. I think. It gets confusing. It is always fun though!
Game of Thrones. Season 7. Need I say more?

Falling for the Fake?
We all root for the underdog, even more so when life has thrown them a curve ball or two.
This past week on America's Got Talent (AGT) a singer received top marks for singing a song.
As cynical as I am, I think this is real. Do you?
When else do we root so hard for the underdog? On AGT it looks like that is the case. Simon seems to like them.
