plan for the static shock final stuff

I mean I'll probably be in my 40s playing a high school teen when I complete this at this pace... I'm personally kicking my own ass to get up and finish this thing while my blackness keeps me looking youthful. One benefit to being black, you don't age really..

Power Rangers got to 2nd at the box office cuz of that dumb hermione movie. I'm playing. I actually love Emma Watson like a sister. I can't imagine boinking her. We grew up together. I don't want to hit that oddly...

People say the sequel will come, no worries. It's a film that will need a good boost from word of mouth unfortunately. I mean, it's a lot like a really weird 80s movie from back in the day about alient technology impacting society. You either roll with those movies and accept what they are or you don't. It's where shit like captain planet gets a pass from people. It was the 80s/90s weird shit was always being made day after day. I mean that's why power rangers even got made, it was that time where super heros and ninja turtles and ghost busters were thriving. People wanted happy super hero shows. Do people want that stuff today? Are we finally over the emo movie period we've been in where every movie has to be about how horrible life is?

One wonders. Maybe Power Rangers should have made trump jokes to kinda hint that their world is suffering not only because of rita repulsa. There's no sense in the movie that anyone's aware of the bad political climate and that rings false to all of us today. We're not in a good place right now with trump in office. There's nothing to smile about really when the movie ends and they're all happy and stuff in the classroom at the end. One joking line about going to grab the president by the balls would have been nice, but what can I do now but wonder. And the movie wasn't even above making dated jokes that will lose their relevance with time. It would have fit same way the jokes in the original movie sound so damn 90s as fuck.

Anyway just thinking outloud really. I'm hoping we see the next movie come along. I'm not wanting a dbe, airbender, speed racer, situation out of this. This could work, lead to more awesome stuff. Prefer they actually make power rangers itself than pacific rim movies all day honestly. Imagine if transformers was done like this. Yunno that's what they were hoping for transformers box office since this movie is a billion times better than all of bay's movies combined. Sadly what bay's movies do have is shit tons of action which power rangers doesn't amazingly enough. It's stone faced an origin flick that apes the hell out of chronicle without shame.

Anywwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, since I'm going on all day about power rangers. I just wanted to set the plan out for how I'm going to tackle static shock.

Going to take costume shots as soon as possible to get tons and tons of references for different stages in the short film.

I've decided to make a short film, maybe 10 minutes at most. It'll be like a flashback sort of thing. It starts with him fully static then explores his origin and subsequent battle in the forest area since I have easy access to one near here. I'll shoot the whole thing in the forest if I can. Nobody goes there really.

Gotta get the bang baby elements using colored flame powder and stuff. He will get struck by lightning, changing how he gets his powers.

Then primarily this short film will explore why static is awesome, why people like him, why he's not just black spiderman. Being black is part of why he's who he is. He knows what it's like to be the victim all his life. He wants to use his powers to save others. That's what most people miss about him. They just look at him and wonder why he's a hero at all, not like he is responisble for his parents death or something. No, but the core reason he decides to be a hero is unexcitingly because he's been seeing bullies get away with their shit forever and wants to be one of the few people who's going to stand against them. Even more to the point, he's partially responsible for the bang baby thing. I'll make a point of showing that if virgil didn't agree to go to the gang meeting or whatever, they wouldn't have been there to get blasted with the gas.

I'll try to make sense of it if I can, why static is the lone hero out of them etc. I mean it's not simple why he does what he does. I think I'll include bits of him questioning why he should go out and fight them. Then one day he sees them kicking some kid's ass and he flashes back to when he got beat up, and he's motivated to go out etc... Not the most noble stuff, but static's not superman at all. He's a guy who's got a good heart but doesn't always follow it.

And yeah, I mean, the real pull here is the action and fx, not the story really. Like spawn. Spawn's a character people question the motives of too but damnit if he's not visually amazing.

I gotta move quickly before time catches up to me and I grow beyond any sense of reasonable level of youthfulness to pass for static's age in the final film.

Power Rangers

Here I stand. Indeed. I was here in this living room watching power rangers all day on vhs when that mother hit and no kid will ever understand how mind blowing that film was to us back in the old days. But it was pure bliss in a vhs cassette. Not so much Turbo...

Interesting that they've brought it back and based the new one on the OG mighty morphin rangers vs the current majestic ninja magic whatever one.

This is a tough film to make, amazingly they succeeded despite the film wanting to implode on its own insanity.

Power Rangers has NEVER been about making sense. It's an excuse to do badass martial arts stuff. Kinda missing from this film is power ranger's serious focus on martial arts. The corner stone of the show is that it stars gymnasts and martial artists who often times did their own stunts on camera. So you as a kid would legitimately be seeing your heros doing martial arts and it was like nothing else at the time which always used stunt doubles.

These new guys are ok. I'm fine with them. The best of course as reviewers have noted is the black guy, he steals the movie completely. But I was more about the red ranger's story and found him most interesting of the lot. The Black Ranger who's riffing Johnny Yong Bosche trigun character Vash the Stampede the whole film is interesting if way over the top even for power rangers. He's ok, but you have no reason given for his wild attitude. It's like he just came in from another film. It fits because at some point there's giant robots and shit, but yeah, the actor didn't get the memo to tone it down.

I hope it does well. This could be a career explosion of new acting talent similar to what X-men 1 gave us with Jackman, Lotr, even star wars etc. It often starts with movies like this, then these guys get better stuff. The actors are obviously very gifted, which is what makes them seem stifled by the actual power rangers elements. The reverse is true of the actual show. They weren't great actors, but they excelled when it was Morphin time. We'll see how they strike a better balance in the sequel.

I've been around the block on this one. The first film is always a gamble. Do you make it silly and soul less and just a circus or do you infuse the film with emotion, heart, drama all that ish.

I have to say they went a little too damn far with the serious chronicle style shit. I just got to the point where I wanted mindless cotton candy from the original film. No bulk and Skull, not that I liked those characters but would have been hilarious if they showed up and did something. Hell, the black ranger might as well be bulk and skull fused together, he's the same shit.

Oh well, will be seeing it again, definitely take the kids, it's good shit.

Captain Planet, Voltron, thundercats, sailor moon, and we're good..

What a wonderful world

Was reading a Twitter battle between a racist psycho chick on trumps post and a level headed actually fact based guy who destroyed her attacks on Obama saying he never got interviewed on fox news.  Even after the guy posts video of an Obama interview he did she kept pushing her point like a raging lunatic.

Now I see with my own two eyes why people are fed up with fox news and the whole conservative gang. They are zealots. Blind myopic self centered cultists...

I then check out her Twitter to see what she's posting. She's determined to get bowwows account banned for his tweets about pimping Melania. This could not be more retard. She then goes on to complain about the judges blocking the travel ban... A user tells her there are branches of government that can override the pres... She's just blown away that the pres is not a dictator in the USA.

This is who black people are up against in life. I will not sugar coat it. Fanatics like this are going to easily attain powerful positions and make serious decisions based on racist, biased, partisan views. Be aware of that next time you enter a court room or get stopped by a cop. How sad but I didn't truly believe this person was out there until I read it saw this wild flaming childish monster for myself. It sucks that innocent minorities will go to prison because they get sentenced by a person like this. Wow.

As for trump. I'm done with him. He's now pointed the finger away from himself since he can't man up and admit he errored... a staple of a republic which Kennedy states is crucial to its functioning...that it admit fault.

This presidency is a fiasco. It's not funny. Not acceptable. You should be terrified of what could go wrong here if this genius gets his goddamn Intel from bill o Reilly.

Tired

Getting tired of this... Dunno just being horny all day... Not gonna lie. It's aggravating and horrible. I think about everything... Fucking... What kind of girls I want... What kind of girls want me.... I think about it. Having a woman who's my equal. It'd be nice. People think I hate women. Guys like me unfortunately have been the ones who'd be chivalrous and defend a girl no matter the cost....

Pretty much dick suicide.

Sad to say...  Only hope I have left is the girls I grew up with but they are older wiser than me now. I admire that. I'm happy truly am that raven, Amanda, Christina are such gorgeous successful women now. Hayden too... I'm like blown away they were such stupid little girls now they're so much more. Life is indeed beautiful when you take the time to appreciate it and how children grow up. It is indeed...

Do I want them... I do. It's interesting to think about it. Just finally being that guy in the end of Casper. But every 90s brat wanted that...

But the reality remains... It just does. I'm meant to observe humanity not get involved. Not become an ordinary person. Job, kids, yadda yadda...

I have no fear in saying this it's something I've always known about myself and I've chosen to ignore it.

I'm different.

I'm an observer a philosopher. A dreamer. I have to sacrifice a normal life if I am to achieve more than the other guy.

I mean hasn't stopped Jamal igle has it. Wife kids still follows his dreams. Inspirational his life story. I do want to be like him. I do want to have what he has.

These feelings feel like a cancer to my mission in life to observe study and above all progress through advanced higher level potential unknown to ordinary people...

I'll only say this on the subject. I leave it in her hands. If she wants me I'll give myself to her. But I will never persue a woman. I've been there. Seeing the look in the eyes of a female who fell in love with me but didn't have the guts to say it or make it known. Yunno if she actually let the bitch shield down she'd have gotten the best from me... Alas... So if you're that girl who wants a good guy... That's all it would take lol. Drop the shield...

Getting Static Shock finished...

I've been struggling to get in better shape in preparation for shooting the final bits of my static shock project.

Sadly this whole journey to get a job up here and earn some bread has yielded no fruit. I'll be in negative dollars at the end of it if this apartment doesn't quickly sell off. so if you're in niagara falls and looking for a cheap place, please do me a favor and take my apartment from kenmore development. Reasonable rate, nice comfy living space. You can have her, I'm going to go the nomad road and live life in a camper once I save up for it.

Such a joke. I have to struggle to find a job when I get down to a more black friendly area (this is a sad thing to have to do but I'm facing an uphill battle to get a job up here.) just to pay for an apartment I'm not occupying until they get rid of it. I'd rather take the second deal and cut the rent in half and finish the lease out. But I reason this place is cheap, it'll go fast to somebody... I hope it does.

You think I'm bsing about having a tough time getting a job up in a majority white town? I wish I was too. I'm not stupid. I know that if I apply, they'll choose a white or hispanic or asian over hiring me. Makes life easier for themselves, keeps their business looking more inviting to the public. Where the hell can I get a job? Some place where I won't be seen every day by hundreds of people. Most of the jobs up here are open and out front. I got to find something out of the way and unexposed. That's where they'd prefer to put me. I don't give a damn as long as I get a check, be racist all day, means nothing to me.

Do I want to go back home to my black neighborhood? Kinda... sorta??? That place is my home, I'll always love it, but it's full of its own problems. I don't want to deal with black people and their bullshit constantly, hell no. Getting out of there and hanging up here with white people who live lives like they're in heaven and have no worries, it's been refreshing I must say. Was looking forward to sticking around.

Now I have to go back home and dodge bullets. Deal with black angst and ignorance. Cops roaming the streets waiting to scoop up the daily negro.

No I don't want to go back to that...

I will be happy to finish my static shock project, that's about it. I wish this didn't go down like this. I wish I could get unemployment. Gotta see if there's an alternative, something. I have to qualify for some kind of aid after working and then being cut down so fast...

I can't believe unemployment has to have requirements like certain months of work. It's supposed to help you when you are fired, period. It's not about waiting until you get fired after a certain time... who decided this bullshit. Goddamn.... If I didn't have my parents house to go back to what would I do?

Apparently struggle for months in a homeless shelter while I search for a job somewhere.... so retarded.

4 years of bone crushing soul sucking high school for this? Really????????????????

Logan

I guess that's that... been a long journey, indeed Logan is the final nail in the coffin for the x franchise we grew up with. I'm like, having a tough time gathering my thoughts on it. I've been watching Hugh play Wolverine since it all began. I was there waiting for the movie to come out, watched the special x-preview on fox, was an avid viewer of the cartoon.

I'll get my problems with the film out of the way first. It's a shit load like Force Awakens. It's an aftermath film. We have no idea why logan is at the point he is, what happened to the xmen, none of that is made clear beyond something wiped out mutancy from the gene pool, something either man made or natural. In the end we learn scientists found a way to eradicate mutants. It works and rapidly to magneto's exact prophecy destroys mutants.

It's a bleak depressing film. Gone is the flash and fun of the old films. This is not about playing nice anymore. This is hard cold fuck you film making like in seven and all those independent films no body talks about.

This is a bait and switch. We've been fooled by the trailers. It's not about having fun watching wolverine slice and dice at all. It's about watching a man struggle against suicide. Receiving no hopeful cheerful answers about wanting to stay alive at every turn.

I don't know whether the movie did even have a hopeful ending. The kids will still be hunted down. They are up against an organization that has cloning capability and knows ways to destroy mutants.

If only we saw the kids make it to the border, got to see them meet whoever it was that would protect them, I'd feel better about it man... I just don't understand how the film leaves us hanging and not truly seeing the story through. Why does an xmen comic have coordinates to the meetings spot for the cloned mutants.

Did I miss something?

Other than that, this is the best stand alone wolverine film. Not a hard feat to accomplish. It's best attribute is that it doesn't try too hard to impress. It's not trying to be some kind of bombastic over the top blockbuster and does things cold hard simple. This is the complete ANTI Xmen origins Wolverine. Hugh is obviously fed up with the studio bullshit he's been through after working his ass off to stay in shape and he lets his frustration out and maybe doesn't even care if you like the way he decided to end things.

I mean, I just wish it made more sense. I liked the movie, but jesus christ you have to do a lot of contortion to buy the fact that they just up and wiped out mutancy and we're living in some warped mutant-less landscape. That's a hell of a thing to gloss over, complete haulocaust of mutants btw, yeah that happened, except for wolverine and xavier oh boy they made it out.

Tough movie to digest. Probably suicide for the studio. People after the movie was over were mixed on it as well, some were like, yeah it was fine, others were like, damn that was just harsh and cold brutal stuff, not fun. And that's where the box office will suffer. The movie is brutal to show us that shit just got real basically. Wolverine can die now he's not superman, all these characters have potential to bite it this time, it's not comic book brett ratner bullshit we're watching here. It's gritty hard shit we're in.

Which makes the movie seem kinda at war with itself. It's still based on fun awesome comic book stuff. To try to abandon the comic and just make a straight up complex psychologically provoking film feels false. You simply can't. You still have a girl with knives coming out of her foot and kicking a guy in the head with it. It's going to look silly.

The brightest spot in the film is X23. I mean, one wonders if this film is intended to be her origin story and not about Logan at all. If that's the case, it's brilliant in that sense. She doesn't do or say or be involved enough for that to bear out as true unfortunately. It's a wolverine centric affair and he passes the torch to his daughter damn well. So if there's more, unlikely once word of mouth spreads, it would be about her and whatever comes next. Not likely but guaranteed a comic will be made detailing the next journey she embarks upon.

I don't know, I'm like kinda needing a second viewing, but the film is no country for old wolverine basically. No masks, no tights, just claws, sit and talk, claws, sit and talk for 2 hours... take it or leave it.
