Rebranding
M-am hotarat sa trec pe limba romana. Probabil ca o sa mai scriu oleaca si pe blog-ul asta cand o sa simt nevoia unui "what the fuck is wtf" dar de acum operele mele vor fi gasite pe nou blog si anume Salcideon. Sa va vad acolo! (as in see you there)

Wanted
Yet another wtf movie. It was not bad, kind of funny actually, but the thing that troubled me while watching is...did they intend to make it ridiculous? The film is just a series of exaggerations... topping off with the characters being able to shoot bullets with their bullets. If you start thinking about how could you even get to shoot a bullet with a bullet (presuming you could do that) you would see that the plot fails since it would indicate that Cross actually tried to kill his son. So basically the film started for me like a: "Get the fuck outta here!!" then evolved into a: "Dudeeeee, get the fuck out of here!!" then moved to the: "Now seriously...get the FUCK out of here!!" and the ending was something like: "Damn....fuck...dude...what the fuck...fucking fuck..."

Kung Fu Panda
is a really funny movie and I enjoyed it. However the most interesting part was how the characters where modeled based on the actor that borrowed their voices. Tigress was strong yet feminine and had Angelina Jolie's charisma, Viper was clearly Lucy Liu (the eyes, the way it moves and fights), Jackie Chan's extraordinary dexterity and mobility was best described as Monkey even Jack Black's extraordinary lack of everything was portrayed as Po.
So the question that naturally comes into my mind is... what would my cartoon alter-ego look like?

The super hero problem
Just watched Hancock and when the credits started I said: "Damn this was a stupid movie." Really lame story. The movie has nothing special just throwing in the same old super hero cliches.
And I just figured out what is the problem when making a super hero movie. You need to have the hero balanced with something. If he just walks around and kicks everyone's ass the movie is bound to be stupid. So why did they insert the lame stuff about loosing all their powers if Hancock is close to the girl? Because they had to end the story somehow. To make it look like a story. It is the only thing you can do to make the hero movie interesting. So... you take some time to establish the character and where he comes from, then you show him stopping some bank robbers then what the hell can you do to make the movie thrilling? The hero looses somehow. All hope is lost. And then he fights back. He fights back and wins! All cheer and we have the happy end. This story sells. It even works for heroes with no special powers. Probably 90% of the action movie sell this story again and again. And we keep watching.
On the other hand we have the newest Batman movie, The Dark Knight. No longer the super hero movie stereotype described above, the story and the characters are at a whole new level. This was the thing that made me love that movie yet I couldn't really point out why.
Still I would like to see the ultimate rule broken. The unspoken rule, the inconceivable thing. I want to see Batman die. Not lost in the sea, not under a burning mansion, not in any kind of situation that would permit him to rise up again just when all hope is lost. I want to see him shot in the head and dead. Let's see how the story evolves after that.

Fear is the mind killer...
But what do we need the mind for? We need fear on the other hand. Without fear there would be a lack of purpose. I was trying to conceive the total freedom. There are no constrains. What's the point of it? What can you achieve when there is nothing stopping you?
Fears: death, failure, life. Death will be always there. Can you change it? Failure is something not natural. At the dawn of time there was no failure but we invented it on the way. Life? Greatest fear of them all. And greatest lie of them all. This is what keeps society going. You need to fear life and you need to value it. A good life. What makes a good life? Have a good day! Good morning. Good evening. Good afternoon. Everything's fine? How are you? GOOD! How are YOU? Have you been a good boy? That's a good boy! Buy some goods! It's not good enough!
Live in fear of the good life or die! There is no middle way anymore. There is no profit out of it. The state that was meant to protect us makes us live as slaves to the great fear of life. What state? There is no state anymore. There are only them, the ones we fear but they have no face.
But these are fake fears diverting from the real fear. Death is near! Fear give me strength. Fear tunnel me into perfection. Fear me God of Slaves!

Afacerea romaneasca - megabid
Am vazut la colegi ceva ce miroase rau de tot a pacaleala. M-am apucat sa caut pe net si primul lucru pe care mi s-au oprit ochii a fost:
adevarul despre megabid
Cititi cat de coerent este autorul articolului si care este raspunsul userului Megabid (putem presupune ca e cineva pus sa apere afacerea). Dupa care un raspuns total coerent din partea autorului si dupa aia lipsa. Pentru ca efectiv nu mai aveau ce sa spuna. Ceva de genul: "Site-ul asta e de cacat pentru ca pune botii sa supraliciteze dupa cum demonstreaza screnshoturile astea". Raspunsul Megabid:"Da, buna ziua, nu aveti dreptate, multumesc".
Ce ma enerveaza este ca lumea chiar crede chestia asta.
Al doilea lucru care ma enerveaza este ca Romania este plina de idioti.
Al treilea lucru care ma enerveaza este ca nu mi-a venit mie ideea asta sa fac si eu bani pe spinarea idiotilor. Ca nu se simte. De la fiecare cate putin, ca un impozit la stat.
