The Force is dead

Jun 07, 2022

It's impressive how quickly Disney destroyed Star Wars. They could have made over a billion dollars a year forever from the franchise through movies and tv shows but social justice and DIE-versity was more important than providing fans a rich, entertaining experience. They simply cannot create; all they know is how to diminish and demolish.

My generation's Star Wars will be next. Tolkien's magnificent work will be perverted.

How can he slap!?

Mar 29, 2022

Pure savagery:

In a show of penitence for the insensitive joke told during the Oscars, Chris Rock offered to smooth things over with Will Smith by sleeping with his wife.

“My client feels incredible remorse for the violently inconsiderate jab aimed at Jada Pinkett Smith’s debilitating medical condition,” said Rock’s publicist, “As such, Chris generously proposes making amends by making love.”

Victory has defeated you

The Fake Vaccine Rises:

To simplify booster injections against COVID-19, Pfizer has developed a new Bane-style Vacci-Suit™ to enable the automatic injection of new doses. The suit comes with up to ten additional doses that can be switched out as new vaccines are developed.

Okay, I laughed:

"No one cared who I was before I put on the mask," said Dr. Anthony Fauci in an interview with Don Lemon on CNN. "Before COVID no one knew my name. Now I am proud to unveil an even more elaborate mask and self-injecting bio-suit to further cement my place in history."

Colossus Lean

Oct 30, 2021

David Lean is one of the giants of cinema. His three successive motion pictures, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, and Doctor Zhivago, should be required watching for any student of film history. Those three have such intensely contrasting atmospheres and timeless themes. Lean spent years making each movie before the advent of computer generated imagery. Everything you see is real and was achingly shot on location.

Of course, there's no doubt, Lawrence of Arabia is his masterpiece.

Red or blue?

Sep 09, 2021

One of my friends in high school asked me to go watch a movie in the theatre.

"Which movie?"

He told me. 

"Does it have something to do with math?"

"I don't know but it looks good."

The movie was a little slow in the first half. It more than made up for it with its jaw-dropping finale. I had watched a landmark sci-fi action movie in 1999. Oh, it definitely wasn't about math. Now, Mr. Wick will resurrect the role that made him famous.

Don't negotiate with Hans

One of the two great movies directed by John McTiernan:

His second magnificent film is, of course, about an expert hunter.

Some of the best

May 09, 2021

Howard Shore's epic score for Tolkien's world definitely deserves honors. Hans Zimmer's music for the Prince of Egypt is over two decades old but still stands as one of his very best. 1492: Conquest of Paradise -- a magnificent soundtrack by Vangelis -- should be on the list.

Jew got to be kidding me?

Morgan Freeman gets closer every day to playing Adolf Hitler in an epic WWII movie. Perhaps, Usain Bolt could get the role of FDR for total subversion of expectations! Of course, only a raycisss would object.

Twitter is your friend

Nov 12, 2020

Harry just wants attention:

As part of its efforts to counter harmful misinformation on its platform, a cooperative effort with the Ministry of Magic, Twitter has issued a fact-check on Harry Potter's claim that Voldemort has returned.

After the Boy Who Lived tweeted out, "He's back! Voldemort's back!" Twitter quickly went to work combatting the "dangerous misinformation," slapping the claim with a fact-check assuring Twitter users that the claim is in dispute and that "Hogwarts is safe and secure."

Twitter in the past:

A few years earlier: No hate towards taxes!

Be a slave to woke Math:

Make Benefit for Conflict

Oct 24, 2020

Taleb is learning that some races are more equal than others.

For example, here's a story from Quebec:

A high school teacher in Montréal-Nord is being called out after using the N-word multiple times during an online class captured on video.  The man in the video has been identified as Vincent Ouellette, a history teacher at Henri-Bourassa High School, a large and diverse French school in the city's northeast end.

You see, only Black people can say nigger without consequences. If a White person utters that word, then Black people combust:

"I understand it was in an academic setting, but to still see a white person — someone's white mouth saying these words — I was taken aback. It was wrong to me."

Instead of shrugging and moving on with her life, she is basically saying that White people can't say that word because Black people are feeble and fragile. Also, more Affirmative Action please, because Black people are dumb.

This is one reason why diversity in large numbers doesn't work. Sooner or later, you get utterly different academic and legal standards for the diverse races which only accelerates the inherent conflict between the groups.

Cast it into the fire!

Oct 11, 2020

Tolkien's glorious Lord of the Rings will be defiled by Amazon:

Amazon Prime’s “Lord of the Rings” series set to release in 2021 has been eagerly anticipated by devoted LOTR fans around the world. The $1 billion series will be set in the Second Age of Middle Earth, which spans 3441 years, before the events of the LOTR movies.

Unfortunately, it looks like the creators of the series, which they claim is based on J.R.R Tolkien’s original work, may be trying to imitate “Game of Thrones”-type nudity and “rapey” storylines. This, no doubt, will delight the left, who have long detested Tolkien’s writing and distinctive Christian influence on popular culture.
