This is the case where IMDB can betray a movie...

So, I was going through one of my favorite sites, the http://www.metacritic.com/film, and what did I see but reviews for Changeling. Now, I've usually enjoyed the last couple of Clint Eastwood flicks. Letters from Iwo Jima is on my top 10. Now, a good film is a combination of writing and directing. Eastwood alone made me kind of want to see this movie, that was until I looked at the writer and got rather scared. This is where IMDB can fail you. This is what I saw on his IMDB writing credits:

Now, any man with writing credits to He-man and She-ra episodes might be good in my book, but I have to say that I'm really sceptical. This guy has written a ton of TV. The last movie I saw with a writer who had done mostly TV, was the dreadful Mummy IV (Tomb of the Dragon Emperor). Everything from episodes of Jake and the Fatman, to Murder She Wrote (Angela Lansbury, what the hell!?). Then, I checked out one of his movies in post. That link to an already classic, Ninja Assassin. Here's the plot synopsis of that movie!

"Ninja Assassin follows Raizo (Rain), one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the Clan, Raizo breaks free from them and vanishes. Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge.

In Berlin, Europol agent Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) has stumbled upon a money trail linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable assassins from the Far East. Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow (Ben Miles), Mika digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind the murders. Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a team of killers, led by the lethal Takeshi (Rick Yune), to silence her forever. Raizo saves Mika from her attackers, but he knows that the Clan will not rest until they are both eliminated. Now, entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse through the streets of Europe, Raizo and Mika must trust one another if they hope to survive and finally bring down the elusive Ozunu Clan."

Now, I know full well what most people are thinking. "Terence, just because he did umpteen episodes of Babylon 5, doesn't mean that his writing sucks", and for the most part you're correct. He could be very capable. However, if he's real good, he's been in the game since '84, and he hasn't written a feature length movie until now? Just food for thought. I might end up going to this movie because of a few friends might want to see it, and it might be decent because of how Eastwood does his films. However, it's more of a shot in the dark than one would think.

UPDATE: On a side note, I started looking at Eastwood's filmography and saw a movie trailer and movie that I want to see. Gran Torino is another one of his movies that will probably be released in January. It's about a Korean War vet who has some Hmong neighbors move in, and has to combat some local gangs as well as befriend the Hmong kid that tries to steal his 1972 Gran Torino. The film, from the trailer, looks pretty good. Eastwood plays the quintessential old bigoted vet.

A blast from....the future!?

Okay, there are many things about my childhood that I've forgotten. I've recently re-discovered a memory. This was all sparked when I noticed that T-shirt hell, had new t-shirts. This brought back the memory of one thing I actually loved in my childhood, but now I can't fathom why... The California Raisins.


Now, when I was young. I tried to collect all the California Raisins figurines. To this day, I no longer understand why. I don't know if my young mind just couldn't comprehend the advertising bull crap, or what. However, this campaign is by and large one of the most successful advertising things to this date.

Enter 2008. Then, I saw this from T-shirt hell.


Now, I suddenly remember how much money I spent on a useless advertising gimmick when I was young, and pretty much made currently feel like I'm the raisin being currently raped by the sunglasses clad raisin pictured.

This should go to show, that everything from your childhood isn't necessarily good.

For those of you who know, or don't know Brice...

For those of you who know, or don't know Brice. I'm gonna plagiarize a bit. This was an e-mail he sent to me, that was a damn good rant, and I even echo some of the sentiments to many extent. Here you go:

"I heard something on CNN that just kind of made me mad. No, it wasn't
a liberal talking head in a suit... it was a regular schmoe they found
in an airport terminal or something. Some lady in her 40's probably.
She said "I want to know what happened to my life! Who's responsible?
I want my life back before the crash of the economy, and the 'Iraqi'
war!" I liked the little bit about calling it the 'Iraqi war" but I
mean. I'll tell you who's to blame... and I hate to say it because it
sounds deceptively like I'm one of those 'blame America' and 'America
haters' but... it's 'progressive' American culture, that's who's to
blame. That's what ruined her perfect little life. Not the culture of true blue
real life hard working Americans, but all this new shit people are saying about
'need' and 'opportunity' and 'change' and this and that. It's people
who think that their 'need' comes before their duty to work and
deserve. People who think that their 'need' entitles them to take now, and pay
later-but probably never. People who think that a good 'change' would
be to give a poor dude a house that he can never afford because he
seems to need it. It's good for everyone, right? Why hasn't anyone
brought up that a lot of the blame for this financial mess in housing comes from that practice? Bleeding hearts want to give everyone a house they can't afford because they
'need' it... maybe they knew it would happen, and benefit them financially... maybe they did it
out of naivete, but it's a certain ideology that's bankrupted so much
of the country.

Is the war in Iraq
really that stressing on people? As far as I can tell it's the war
that's affected the American citizens the least of any in our history.
Or since I deployed has something changed like they're rationing
food, rubber, and ore? Are women working in garages riveting fighter
planes together? Are people being forced to purchase war bonds? Are
Islamic radicals blowing things up in America? So far it seems like
their resources are sapped and they're forced to operate in lower Asia
and Europe at the farthest.

That lady pissed me off. "Who's to blame!" she asks the cameraman, while
she's sitting in the food court sipping her $10 latte. She talks about it
like some mysterious spooky ghosts are behind the troubles of the nation.
I'll tell you what... Jay-zee and I.T. and Home-Dawg sure don't look
like they're poor and suffering. They're getting new diamond teeth
every weekend, and they have three of those a week, so our economy
can't be that bad. I suspect our society is just misguided. People need
to stop bitching, and start moving. If we all worked half as hard as
we threw blame, we'd be good to go. The end."

This is all pearls of wisdom from our good friend Brice. I agree with him in many ways. An America that can actually care what Paris Hilton and other celebs do with their time, and don't have to work all day just to buy a loaf of bread, have no right to complain. The world is pretty good for them. Unfortunately Americans are quick to judge and easily forget.

Severe Office Space Days!

Has anyone had a severe Office Space days? You know, those days where you get almost the same opinion as Ron Livingstons' character, to where you "just won't go". That's kind of where I'm at right now. I'm sitting here listening to conversations and pointless things about people communicating their life experiences, and praying to God that someone will care.
In my immediate vicinity, it is filled with people who doubt themselves and can be the utter dregs of humanity. From conversations talking about the latest viral video from the web, to problems with the their families, all these things drive me up the damn wall.
We go down the row from me, we've got the disenfranchised goth/touchy feely kid. This young gentleman just calls into work and says "I'm emotionally not well enough to work today". He's constantly late, and comes into work whenever he wants. I am still amazed why they haven't canned him other than they just can't find anyone else for this job.
From there, We've got one of the most dim witted human beings that I have had the unfortunate chance to meet. This guy is constantly telling people about his failed marriage and relationships problems with fat girls. He is entirely nerdcore.
Then, the girl that is my nemesis. Think of Nina (again from Office Space), "Corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking. Just a moment...". Imagine you hear that the entire day. Her shrill voice is like that a wailing banshee. Not just those hot kind of banshee's, but imagine some overweight girl who says "I was good looking, but my medication caused me to gain weight". Yeah, right. Every time she has a problem that she cannot fix (which is quite often), she in a boisterous voice that only fat girls have, she yells for a lead. At night, when I sometimes can sleep, I have a nightmare where she's yelling out people's names, in some demonic mouseketeer role call. Also, she also seems to have befriended many who are many of the disenfranchised employees. These people seem to need to always need to talk to her, about the most pointless conversations.
All in all, my job is one of the most demoralizing things out there. On the phone, I talk to people who think that their time is more important than anyone elses. The employees are a cornucopia of high school computer nerds, and people with such low self esteem that they make strippers look like career orientated go-getters. It's getting to the point where I think that I'm going to lose it, just like Ron Livingston in good ol' Office Space....

The Road Less Traveled...

If I were inspirational and junk, I'd post a quote on my cubicle and room that says this:

"I'll give the Rays respect when they actually win something..." - Choda (Andrew Stauffer)

It's simple. I love a good underdog story. It might stem from my love College Basketball, and watching the NCAA tournament every year. Now, I've posted things about the Rays in the past, so I won't rehash it. However, this is something I just need to restate. Because of the Rays, baseball has converted me. It is now become my third bonafide followed sport.
You see, the Tampa Bay Rays have now gotten to the World Series and are 4 games away from being the best team in Baseball. There is nothing better than this story. In the span of one short year, they have gone from worst to possibly being world champs.
This relates to something that I have long since expected. I always can pick a team that is going to be an up and coming one. In 2007, before the start of the NFL season, I stated to many people "Watch out for the Browns, they're gonna beat up on some people", and they did. This year in baseball, after the Rays dusted it up with the Yankees I told people "The Rays are gonna be good, watch it." Also, at the start of this year's NFL season my words are, "Don't sleep on Buffalo, they're better than most people believe."
With yesterdays win over the San Diego Chargers, validates the Bills existence. The Bills have a stud of a RB, Marshawn Lynch. They've got a good quarterback in Trent Edwards, and they just seem to have that determination, much like The Rays. Also, the similarities don't end there. They are both smaller market teams, that everyone always states that they are gonna start losing or just aren't a team that can compete with the larger market teams. As we speak, Buffalo is 5 and 1, their only loss in a close game.
This complete media bias, bugs me to no end. Now, I realize the bias. The movement of population and playing to the more popular team. However, no one in the media seems to judge heart. The intangible "it" or just the perception the team can win, is never actually spoken of too much. All these teams at the time seem to have that intangible sports ability to win. Just watch out for a few of these teams, oh and Go Rays!

Whilist I was away...

While I was visiting my father in Idaho, my stepmother received a call from their Stake Presidency. It seems that they had an "emergency meeting" about a referendum in California about amending the constitution stating that marriage is between a man and a woman. The Stake wanted people (in Idaho) to man a call center calling people in California. I am incredibly torn on this in many ways.
While, I agree in calling something "marriage" that is between male and female, by definition. I do NOT agree with limiting people in financial benefits based on their sexual orientation. Having someone get denied on medical benefits just because they are a homosexual, is wrong.
Second, they wanted them to make out calls, which made it seem like they were cold calling people. I also have a problem with that. That kind of move is more aligned with political groups trying to turn public opinion, which I have a fundamental problem with combining that and religion.
Now, there are some gay people who are fighting to have it by "right" in the definition of the word, Marriage. Those people are crusaders who will stop nothing short of their lifestyle being accepted by every man, woman, and child on the planet. Thus, I look at homosexual relations, much in the way that many Asian cultures do. They acknowledge them and understand that many people have homosexual tendencies, but they do not go as far as to not make fun of a bearded flaming homosexual. Their TV and movies have many jokes and puns about transvestites and the hilarity that it can ensue.
Truth be told, I don't know why I feel the need to do anything to try and affect California law. California has always been a little different. You've got a huge gay community there, and state laws should be a reflection of the people in that state. So, basically... If your state is overrun by fags, and you don't like what they do, move. It's that simple.

Windigo!

One thing that has always facinated me is the legend/lore of the Wendigo. The legend is based on the Alogonquin people's personal beliefs. It comes from the belief that if a human resorts to cannibalism, that they will become a monster. It is believed that humans can become Wendigo or posessed by Wendigo.
The Wendigo is described by Basil Johnston an Oijbwa teacher as the following (pulled from Wikipedia):
"The Wendigo was gaunt to the point of emaciation, its desiccated skin pulled tautly over its bones. With its bones pushing out against its skin, its complexion the ash gray of death, and its eyes pushed back deep into their sockets, the Wendigo looked like a gaunt skeleton recently disinterred from the grave. What lips it had were tattered and bloody [....] Unclean and suffering from suppurations of the flesh, the Wendigo gave off a strange and eerie odor of decay and decomposition, of death and corruption."
Wendigo are typically stories about indians, pioneers, or western folk that have to resort to cannibalism to survive. It's popularized by many horror stories. There has been an episode of Supernatural dedicated to them, as well a few movies recently. Namely, a movie called Wendigo and Ravenous to name a few. It always has to deal with the mythos of gaining a persons strength by consuming their flesh.

I always love the stories about Man changing into something else because of his own deeds. You never run out of material for the imagination. They are kind of like a mystical Frankenstein. A creature created with your own deeds, and your own need to survive...

Spirited Away...

Disappearance cases are quite common. However, there's a distinctly Asian concept that I love, and it's called being "Spirited Away". It was popularized by a Miyazaki film of the same name. Which kind of relates to the concept.
Basically, a person disappears and then quite sometime later, ends up appearing (usually in the same spot they disappeared), sometimes months and years later, with no memory of what transpired.
One famous story, is of a Japanese boy, who in the late 1940's who, while playing in a nearby forest, disappeared and his family could not discover what happened to him. It was around the same time as a bombing that occurred. Naturally they determined that the boy must have been killed in the bombing, but then in the mid 50's a child resembling that same boy emerged and was completely unharmed.
These kinds of cases sometimes get cross-referenced as abductions, but I believe just trying to simplify everything as someone being crazy, or that little green men got them, is a little irresponsible. The phenomenon itself is recorded all throughout the world. In India, a house wife of 5 was cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. The kids and husband went to the local market street, not more that 3 blocks away, and were not gone more than 5 minutes. They came home to woman missing, the door had been blocked from the inside and there we no physical way into the house. They had to get in through a hole in the roof, and the woman was entirely missing. There was a timer that indicated it had only been set not 1 minute before they had gotten back to the house.
The family moved on and moved out of the house, not more than 3 years later, a young man came into the house and noticed a frightened and disorientated woman inside his house, not knowing how or why she was there. Turned out that the neighbors recognized her as the same woman that had gone missing years earlier. No one in the neighborhood saw the woman enter the house, and do not know how she got there.
In some cases, the subjects have memories, that they can't believe are theirs. One women, in Ohio, who had some of the same things happen to her said she remembered being in the house and her spouse looking for her, but no matter what she did she could not get his attention. She described the experience as "being invisible".
What would you do if you suddenly could not interact with those you cared about? What would you wish you would have said or done? Then, imagine the miracle of coming back and having a 2nd chance. To me, it just seems like something very interesting...

Life and Death...

With Halloween coming, there are several things that I will love to see and talk about. The most important is that, I hate the show Mythbusters. The whole purpose of the show is to "debunk" several popular with their "experiments". Why do I hate it you ask? The whole purpose of the show is to prove something usually unprovable. They'll take a myth about, let's say spontaneous combustion, and try and change the scale (most of the time) and see if they can produce the same result. Can you imagine what happens? They usually come up and say the mysteries of life are all false. The do come up with credence to some, but most they say cannot happen. Enter one of things that I love talking about. Spirit Photography.
Spirit Photography has it's roots in the late 1800's and came about because of the ever popular spiritualist movement. The very same spiritualist movement that brought rise to the LDS faith. Joseph Smith's family was spiritualists before he founded the faith. Spirit Photography's origins are simultaneous with the advent of photography and goes way back to when they started developing the first film. What I love about it is the mysterious nature of it. It still kind of makes my skin tingle looking at talking about it. Capturing a spirit on film excites in a way. Now, I hate the cheesy "Ghost chaser" shows that they have on TV. If it was as simple as making devices widely accepted to detect ghosts, it would be a more widely accepted opinion. However, here are some of the most popular spirit photographs of our time.

This photo was taken in 1966 at a place called Queen's House in Greenwich, London. Most experts, at the time, cannot explain why this photograph occurred. The photograph has been examined by people at Kodak and state that it wasn't a double exposure or that there wasn't any trickery that they know of to get this image. Clearly you can see the image of a person ascending the stairs.
Next we have the famous Brown Lady photograph. This occurred in Raynham Hall in Norfolk, England. The man who took the photograph saw nothing at the time, but his assistant stated that they saw an apparition walking down the stairs and got him to take a picture. The man who took the photo was a respected photographer who's work appeared in several magazines and doesn't fit the profile of your typical hoaxster.

This is the Lord Combermere photograph. This picture was taken by a woman who was staying with her sister at Combermere Abby. She was taking a photograph of a library and wanted one that was super clear. She put the exposure on about an hour. While the specifics are hard to see, you can clearly see an image of a man sitting in the chair.

This is the Mable Chimney photograph. The story goes that Mable Chimney was photographing her mother's grave site when after the photograph was developed, the image of her mother can be seen in the back seat of the car.

This is the Reverend KF Lord photograph. It was taken at England's Newby Church in the 1960's. At the time of the photograph Lord, did not see anything.

This only seems to happen with film cameras. It even goes back to how many cultures believed that cameras steal your soul. With the advent of many digital cameras, many of these photo's are not seen any longer. There are a few cases of pictures with digital cameras, but almost all were revealed as a trick with light or a photoshopped picture.

However, cases like these still cause the imagination to wander. It shows us that what we perceive just might not be the truth. How many things occur without our understanding? I personally believe that there are spirits that most of us are rarely attuned to. There have been others throughout history that seem to be more keyed into the spirit world. There are several things that occur that I believe we just can't explain without sounding entirely crazy. This is just one of a couple. Throughout the month, I'll by highlighting a few that I believe in. So, have fun with it people. Also, let me know what you believe, it's a great conversation topic!

More UB fun!

Alright, while I was bored...I HAD to get on the the urban dictionary and starting hitting that good old random button. What I saw shocked and amazed even me...

Pooch Butter 17 up, 5 down love ithate it

When peanut butter is used to lure a pet into licking ones gential area.
Dana gave her dog some fancy pink boots and treated herself to some pooch butter. (what a sick bitch)

I relate this one to an interesting story Choda told me about Pearl Harper. You should ask him about it sometime!

pearl harbour 36 up, 7 down love ithate it

Cold (weather). An example of it would be - "It's a bit Pearl
Harbour out here!" Meaning - there's a nasty 'nip' in the air.

This is one that I surprisingly haven't heard:

Stick 165 up, 43 down love ithate it

1 gram of weed, 15-20AUD worth
Comes in a little plastic bag, packed if you're lucky
Bro, I got us a stick today.

Use this one in one your meetings that you adult people have:

half stepping 29 thumbs up love ithate it

1. starting something with no intention of finishing.

2. talking like you are going toget violent with someone and not follow through.

being half assed.
quit half stepping, get the project done.

Okay, I somehow picturing Easy-E singing about this in an NWA song:

bitties 242 up, 46 down love ithate it

A word that originally came from the phrase "tig ol' bitties", meaning big ol' titties, which then got shortened to bitties therefore referring to women's breasts. The word has evolved and recently can be defined as any type of women one finds attractive or wants to "get with".
Definition 1: Hey look at that chick's huge bitties.
Definition 2: -Let's do something tonight. How about we call up some bitties.
-Damn, Look at that group of bitties over there, we better fuck that shit.

This one just brought tons of mental pictures to my mind:

spork 569 up, 105 down love ithate it

spork:a combination of a spoon and a fork
sporked: to be jabbed or prodded with one or more sporks
sporker: one who uses a spork for pleasure alone or for humourous reasons within a group.
sporking: a game involving a group of people with sporks who chase after fat kids, saying they will eat them.
sporkage: someone who has just been sporked by a group of rowdy sporkers.
sporkness: to resemble a spork
sporkification, sporkified: process and product of morphing into a spork
sporkage: that fatass just had some extreme hardcore sporkage back there by those rowdy sporkers.

This is totally the ghetto equivalent of Brethren!

breadrin 45 up, 10 down love ithate it

This one is just for the Smurf reference:

Smurf Crease 4 up, 3 down love ithate it

Smurf Crease, basically a euphamism for vagina. As smurfs have camel toes, all ironically except smurfette.
Leisha Hailey can lick my smurf crease
