Thor and Fucking Suckerpunch

Fucking Suckerpunch. Recently I sat down to watch the new movies Thor and Fucking Suckerpunch. There is no particular connection between the two films other than the fact that I watched them at the same time. They also seem to share a theme of being non love stories. There is no love story in Suckerpunch, and the romance of Thor played out more like what you imagine a god's might be. Instant absolute adoration of a mere mortal. I have heard some saying that Natalie Portman might as well have been masturbating on screen, but I ask you? How would you feel meeting one of the gods? Zues, A Yama King, ..Thor. Even were you unsure of who he was you would still feel the power of the individual. Like I have said before; Everyone must have loved and respected Clark Kent. No matter how meek he may have been there is no way to hide that sense of confidence being invincible would bring. Being a god would change the way you looked at the world and change the way you carry yourself for the better.

One of the things I can say about Fucking Suckerpunch in light of Thor is that Fucking Suckerpunch does overtly what superhero movies should do in subtext. What I mean is that a super hero movie should be a metaphorical extrusion of the psychological realm into a dramatic play. I do not think that Thor pulled that element off very well. I felt like 'this is a god that came down to earth' which I think is very appropriate for this character. There is very little of the Hulk's inner rage being drawn large over Bruce Banner's frame. The Donald Blake transformation was thrown away for a nod, and what we had was not a complex modification of a social event ( I could stretch and say that Donald got a headwound or whatever and had amnesia and that caused them all to get arrested and then the final battle was a statement of facing the insanity of Donald's god complex, perhaps not amnesiac but definitely some sort of significant behavioral shift ) but an actual play of a 'deity' stepping out of the sky and walking the earth. How do you react to meeting one of the gods? Do you kneel? Do you pray? Do you start lauding the guy? I mean he is … an ancient … god … after all.

Fucking Suckerpunch and Thor are both rad fight battle movies. Without a doubt the combat was the best part of both of the two movies. Suckerpunch being the superior fighting movie without a doubt at all. Thor was allot of talk, sort of messianic by way of the the elder eddas, and there was some small statement on a society full of secrets and government control. 'They took my iPod' I think was a snort line from the lab assistant in Thor. Suckerpunch also wins the appropriate humor award. Thor managed to be decently heavy ( what with the war and the betrayals ) while at the same time cracking allot of corny lines. Cheesy. Good fun cheese hero movie. At no point did Thor even slightly deviate from the comedic hero. He was unstoppable. Never gave up. He found his lesson in the mud and the rain, and after kneeling he acknowledged that he was being immature ..at three thousand years old. Admittedly the majority of those centuries of god hood were spent in daily combat. That could also have been brought to play into Thor more better. Thor did a good job being a tactician, but if he had led an army in that final battle scene I would have absolutely loved it.

Except for the fail ending that reminded me of Wanted, Fucking Suckerpunch was marvelous in both the acting and the execution of intricately timed sequences. The battles were hyper metaphoric. Literally overt mental analogies as directly as the majority of the movie. The true tale is told in the first ten minutes of the story and the rest is clearly and plainly being told within the primary character's mind. Fucking Suckerpunch is like Finigan's Wake in that way. Babydoll is dreaming her life away, and even has a dream where dreaming is more than dreaming, because if she could dream her way out of her problems she would be set. She couldn't, but it was a marvelous ride of harlotry and hyper sensualized combat. I particularly liked the world war trench combat in which the four girls were fighting and posing together. For a moment I was reminded of the Battle Angel sequence from Sin City.

What I want to see from another Thor -or Avengers- is a more militantly minded Thor. This theme was not commonly used in comics because reading a list of tactical directives takes very little time on a comic page ( though I do not recall any real 'tactical' issues of the old Thor comics, that doesn't mean its not there as I have not read them all ) and for most people is relatively dry. Even giving speeches is something of a throwaway panel in a comic book. In a movie however.. In the Ultimates line of Thor the character was a literal deity walking the earth 'midguard' and he had a cult of followers. I want to see the cult and I want to see the three thousand year old guy telling the forty year olds how to win a war. I think that a Skrull invasion would be just plain great for the Avengers movie. We got an army of mutants to be working in the backdrop ( maybe do a news reel of Spiderman fighting in New York side by side with the Fantastic Four's Human torch ) Hulk, Iron Man, Cap, Thor … I say Dr Light, Spider Woman ( in this case I would go with a completely unrelated woman of a different name than either of the girls in the comic who is simply inspired by the idea of superman and happens to be a speedster as opposed to actual spider powers ), maybe Wonderman/Scarlet Witch/Vision, but it seems like five Avengers is right.

In fucking Suckerpunch, I would like an alternate ending, and back to Thor. Man it would be cool to be a fucking god. I mean you wouldn't be afraid of anything. You could have serious thoughts about ..like.. smiting cities. Walking into the lands of the dead. Calling thunder and lightning to do your bidding. I particularly like the digs. Thor was an amazing job of transforming the art nouveau line work of Kirby's costuming onto a three dimensional medium. I was half expecting a more primevil look, but no. We had hard core Eternals and Inhumans looking Viking Gods. Very nice. My initial bet would have been that it won't look good to try and capture that Kirby Eternals look, and I would have lost that bet. I would have liked to see a pair of super hot Valkeryies. Natalie and the girl who played Sif are nothing to sneeze at, but there was allot of manflesh action and not allot of Valkeryies. Basically what I am saying is take the babes out of fucking Suckerpunch and put them in Thor and we would have a mega uber movie.

Funnily enough Suckerpunch is a tragedy and Thor is a comedy. By that I mean Thor wins and Babydoll looses. Both are hard core action movies, and both have super aggrandized combat sequences. The ladies of Suckerpunch perform super human ninja moves, and Thor was pretty much Thor. The mega hammer action was very well done. Neither of them were a romance unless you consider a complete one sided form of hero worship to be romantic, and I believe both of them accomplished their goals very adequately. In Thor we have the comedic uber mensch standing tall as a bastion of self understanding and ever upward improvement as a great guy becomes even yet a better person, while in Suckerpunch we have a cautionary tale wrapped around a woman who you are able to almost forget is absolutely and unequivocally doomed. Suckerpunch's lilting ennui hides behind the clever action, while Thor's invincible optimism is blaring in four colors throughout the entire production. I do not foresee any sort of continuance of the Suckerpunch franchise, and of course I look foreword expectantly toward the making and release of The Avengers.

Money Talks ~ Real News

:mac:

So the Feds are not getting shut down, but they are going to kill all of the old people. Sucks to be a boomer, but this is your mess now you get to lie in it. Apparently the idea is to forget about the poor and shove more spending cash in the hands of the wealthy. Which works ..if.

The idea is a solid as a baseball bat in a fight. Should work, but there remains an aspect of chance. The wealthy have to spend out. If ..you blow your money the econemy will repair itself. If ..you don't do laundry and cycle your expensive clothes through the Goodwill (: itemize those donations! :) and pay for your food. Vote with your dollar, give a Jackson to a spanger, and get your shoes shined. Seriously, this plan is like 'sending an army to hold a pass' it ..could work. If ..the wealthy actually do their part and feed the grass.

Part of the idea is that being wealthy involves the ownership or partial investure into some form of service. If you are a basic laborer, non union worker, or just plain poor you have no way of benefiting from you own expenditures. A wealthy person statistically gains a return on every expenditure. Your payout enables another payout that goes ring around the rosie posie and back into your pocket. You put a Jackson in someone elses pocket and they are going to put that into 'a service' maybe yours. A wealthy person should engender the bahavior that should it be repeated, replicated, or copied that will produce benefit to himself. Enlightened self interest. There are 9 billion people on this planet.

The activity of being right properly wealthy, which is the virtue (similar to a strong arm or a sharp wit) that this economic plan is hinged on. Like a good battle plan you are rolling dice on people's ability to live up to an ideal of behavior. Richies ..party. Stables ..pay. Comfortables ..add a stream of payouts to your budgets. Businesses ..have an accountant instead of 'diy' ..thats the problem with this plan. That, is where it can go wrong.

It is 'the poor' that need to learn how to save their money and create budgets. Way, way, way toooo many wealthy business people get caught up in the idea of cutting spending when they should be maximizing profit of their expenditures. Increasing profit and finding new ways of making money work. On the top of the equation, (: the richies, the trust fund babies, and the mega uber wealthy :) the problem is actually the opposit. That strata of the wealthy understand the theory, but suffer from a lack of perspective. A business man is extreamly aware of the massive multidues of people wealthy and poor looking out for number one. The richies are superman! Their is xero consideration in their mind of medicade, food stamps, or ssi. To a businessman these are real viable 'parachute' options should their gamble go south. 

Everyone but that guy who sits or stands on the borderline between poor and wealthy fails to apperciate ..how ..many ..people ..their ..actually are! Therein lies the understanding that elevates a poor business man into a wealthy business man. The element that is missing in understanding when you operate a business poorly and when you operate a business well is when you realize that spending should ..never decrease. Profits should increase, but if you free up capitol ..you should reinvest it. That, is how money goes round.

Blog Interrupted, Real News!

Thinking about how long it will be until I have an eye implant and cyber remote. These things exist. They are being tested on monkeys, and they apparently love em. Think of the machine as a part of your simple body and move the robot arm exactly as you do your own. Woop woop!

I am not expressly aware of the control mechanism of the eye, but I would, LOVE to take mind snap shots. Autosnap, or winks?

I like calling em winks. That's cool. As I was saying, I want this now. Where can I volunteer for robot arm and optical implants!?

Holy Crap! Aliens!

Flamming Pissed Off

I am frustrated. My news journalism career is probably going to be not happening. Being non localated is so hard actually. Once you are on that rol of updating everything and throwing in stuff about what you are doing it is hard to not. Fuck! God Damn! Now? I can't load the email ap on mah blasted pre! Stupid fucking hack/virus bullshit! I am TRYING to ACCOMPLISH something and if al of my time if god damn WASTED With this PETTY crap! You might as wel beat me to death with a fucking hammer! I want ..a steady income. I want ..to accomplish my (accomplish, not yelp about failing, A C C O M P L I S H) my goals. As written and set, and the same since twenty years damn near gone by now. I am a damn hard worker, and I have learned my lesson about sick days. I can't even work without geting mean mugged and yelled at by the people I live with because they act like my talk is bluster and an excuse to not actually accomplish anything. Apparently creative arts are bullshit compared to putting nails into boards. Apparently you would rather live in a world without the Onion News network and other forms of relaxed entertainment. Nooo, itsgot be hammer and fucking nails all damn day long, oh can't use a computerr, I'l work on game stuff.. Baahhh! The only thing separating me from accomplishing my goals is resources and people that think I am some sort of confidance man eliciting money from people for nothing. I am actually serious about a cross country tour. I do not posses that thing.. Whatcha call it, stage fright. I know who I am and I am completely out about it. I just ..only.. SOLEly ..NEED CAPITOL

Blog.

Thank You!

I have yet to implement much of your suggestions :smirk: I am online mostly through WebOS and itsa bit too touchy for web development :smirk: but I plan to when I have a computer! :hehe: I haven't tried to download any of the movies, doubt they will work on the palm pre. Its handy dandy for email and fb and such and such. The store front issue is actually something I had been seeking online :smirk: What do you think of the :smile: icon? Being a CSS4/5 type thing. :ifyousheashow: :cnet: :link: The grammar is SMS.

. ? ! :period: :interrogative: :bang: :interrobang: !? :!?: Each one is a :smile.icon serving as a terminator, parenthetical, or exclamatory . :stop: :dot: written below ' *Blog. Money. Earn. Share* ' [blue, u, large] and :alinks. won't hardly need to be written . you collect them like widgets and drag them. They come with fourteen kinds of eloaded icon serving from a satalite this side of the moon :awe: hands trained from high speed video games and wii motes manipulating the internet with a holographic rubics cube :zap: their hands monitored by laser trackers and gyroscopic sensors :dot:

:send: @hatim2 :s:

Note, you would also be able to spot record words as data objects and toss them on an icon. Like I could hit the go button and say 'thank you' and then flick the widget the right way and link it to the :s: that I could be typing with a ten key at a faster rate than any qwerty. Imagine someone playing a guitar as the interface of a computer? COuld be done ..what kind of songs would that make.. sorry rambling. Thanks, hey, do you mind if I blog this email? Its actually a nice natural use of complete :smile. grammar as a whole sentence/paragraph :wave::up:

^ (: That would be a thumbs up waving back and forth! :smile:

PWI Prepost for editing.

Zynga......
Poker ~ Vegas
NEWTOY
American Express
Rewardville.
Title:
Zynga comes to the Palm!
Body:
The Palm Prē WebOS® has now been drawn into the Zynga tornado. In the not too distant past it was only iPhones that could play a Zynga game on their PDA. With the release of the newest Zynga concept Rewardville is now functional on the Palm Prē. Most likely the simplicity of the interface presented by the Rewardville WebUI allows the game to operate on any PDA with a fully capable web browser. Unlike the layer and grafix intensive Frontierville (e.g) the Rewardville game interface is more like a menu screen. Rewardville is a 'support game' that exists purely to help the other Zynga titles. You don't need to be playing any of the Zynga Farm, Mafia, and Café Worlds to play Rewardville, but there is little point to installing the app onto your facebook if you don't know *at least* one person that plays the games.
Zynga has been making nothing but strides since their debut in 2007 with a poker app, Texas Hold'em. Zynga then spawnned about a dozen projects into the various realms of connect media applications. Mafia Wars, Farmville, and Café World are examples of the sim~like pastime games provided by Zynga. Some of Zynga's concepts, like Mafia Wars, are re-invisions of a whole genre of early Mys_Game Apps. There were dozens of similar concepts being produced using a 'wars' interface that Zynga outright outran in development and marketing. Not to mention outclassing most of their competition with phenomenal, compelling, and frequently updated art.
Zynga games are a Frisbee® of the Mybebobookut phenomena. The word itself means shoes or something in sanskrit, and my name means wet dirt in gealic! What Zynga has come to mean is a type of connect media experience that is inherently about playing with other people. Sure, you *can* poke around Treasure Island all day long without asking your friends for Banana's and Orange Gems, but 'connecting people through games' is the basic mentality of a company that started out with a virtual card game. I expect the future to bring the `Ville games line to Myspace and the other Connect Media Venues. I quite fondly look forward to opening my Café doors from Facebook to Myspace. I'll install a drive through for Bebo.. I even have a little marker placed to remind me of the plan I had one day during the first couple of weeks playing Café World! Zynga, and the other makers of zynga games such as Playdom, Kabam, and Rock You are going nowhere.
