Jamie Foxworth responds to Family Matter EW reunion

Saw her post on facebook. Odd I can't comment on it. Not like I wilded out on her page or anything and caused her to ban me or whatever, weird... a few people in my likes I can't comment on, shame, don't understand why. I'm just a 90s brat looking to hang out and do cool crap as usual. Oh well...

What's my thoughts on it. I thought they called her up but she declined, having a chip on her shoulder about being fired.

Couldn't have been more wrong. She would have done it if they asked her. I figured they would, not like she wasn't a prominent cast member for a minute, but I do understand why they didn't call her. She wasn't there for the actual successful explosion of the show's popularity when it peaked and really dominated the TGIF line up. She was there for that little beginning period when it was just finding itself as a show, then for financial reasons they brutally wrote her out of the show.

She explains that they had done it on shows before and felt it wouldn't hurt the show to have a character vanish. I guess so. Shows evolve etc, Seinfeld was nothing like it ended up being when Jerry started it, changed names and stuff. I damn sure know that season 1 of johnny quest is a totally different show than season 2. 90s was a time when you just couldn't risk getting too attached to stuff in shows cuz either the show would be canceled or they'd completely rape the show and change it....

Looking back, there's a lot of shady crap going on under the hood of family matters. Brilliant show, awful intentions behind the people running it, the way the slyly tossed in racism under the radar like that. Makes some episodes unwatchable to me... Sad. I mean does Jaleel ever truly plan to show his daughter the episodes full of fried chicken references? I certainly hope he skips them.

Yeah, I mean why not wouldn't have hurt to toss her some credit. Or do a joking photo shoot showing foxworth looking down stairs at the family. Now here's the rub. There were A LOT of other cast members to potentially call for the shoot. They didn't call the second harriet for obvious reasons. They didn't call Jason David Frank (I'M KIDDING.) Just saying, maxine isn't there and she was a staple of the show till the last, and she's on the internet facebooking etc, just like they all are, so why wasn't she called? That's an even more weird omission than Judy... Oh well. Glad they're trying to attempt to throw us Family Matters fans a bone. It was the GET THIS, NUMBER 1 show on TGIF. You had every other show, then there was the PLAYOFFS, FAMILY MATTERS. That's why that show is so damn good and well made. They did. not. play. they worked HARD to make that show amazing week after week...

Butt alas...

It's long gone in the past, nobody really today is so pent up about a family matters reunion anymore. It honestly should have happened at least 2010 or on one of the anniversaries of the show. Lord knows I'd prefer that over Fuller House sans the Olsens, my little butt munchkins. I maintain that they HATE someone associated with that show to not return. I know their personality inside and out, there's no way they'd decline returning for a cameo unless there's bad blood going on. And that's whatever, it's up to them, just that they don't have a career to jeopardize by going back to the well, so what's the issue. And me personally it would bring a smile to my face to see my girls back with Danny, Uncle Jesse, and Stephanie, etc. It'd just be a fun thing, since I was there, I was a kid, the coolest kid, and there were my little buddies right there as I grew up. I could always count on my Olsen girls to be a bright snarky little cool chick having a cool life. It was nice to have that connection, knowing the olsens were like just as stupid and weird and crazy as ME and that was represented on tv, my weirdness was represented. So it's odd they'd be too big for a cameo, weird. So down to earth, tomboys both of em, not a hint that they'd become these two diva queens.

I learned very fast growing up though girls are like these jekly hyde things. Start off cool, turn into something else later, simple math really...

Will this photo shoot lead to a revamp of family matters? HA HA HA HA HA. No. Sadly the show did indeed live and die on Jaleel White. And he honest to GOD can't be Urkel anymore, too damn old. So yeah, it's truly dead. And no one can replace him. It's not possible. All throughout my childhood they TRIED with every thing they had to reinvent urkel. FAILED time and again. Jaleel was from some kind of weird outer space dimension or some shit, bro. They know that his talent and dominance on the show was pure luck and they couldn't dream of duplicating it. So yeah either they go full hog with a reunion MOVIE or just leave the series where it is and let it rest in peace...

The Puerto Rico disaster

I'm just like, wtf about it. I sit here worrying about finishing static shock. When there are people starving to death because of an inept fool in charge of their very survival.

What do I think about this. The future, after all the dust clears, will anything be learned from how botched things have gone?

The current attack on the mayor of San Juan is above and beyond uncalled for but to me not at all surprising. The fat fool sits above and says "let them eat cake" as has been his MO.

I've worked so many jobs in my time learning about the work world. It's fairly simple. White people hang out sipping lemonade. Brown people lift and sweat and huff and puff to keep them happy and comfortable. It's a numbers game, don't give me any bullshit about if brown people just worked harder in school they'd be up there with the white guys, just don't. There's a push to ensure majority white people regardless of competence for their positions have it better on the larger scale. No way in hell would white people want to level the playing field at all, it's just too scary to have to be under someone brown or asian, too terrifying a thought. I never thought about it that way, but yeah the REASON for the racism in the job world is because they're scared pissless of potentially having minority bosses.

Yeah, that's life. I mean I've lived long enough to just see how things are. But damn, to attack the people who you're supposed to care about, that's insane.

Abhorrent being the best word to describe it. We've gotten the message from your royal asshole in spades. He's not going to be presidential, he's going to be a douche bag granted nukes. That's kinda a terrifying thought is it not. Does his people get the message now? He's willing to attack USA itself and destroy it if it doesn't like him enough and bow to him.

real patriot...

James cameron just got his ass kicked by Lynda Carter

Fuck, told you to keep your opinion to yourself brother. Yeah there's no denying you are one of the few, the only directors in hollywood willing to give women more prominence in the film world, but you're playing with fire here and should step back in my opinion. Point made. Don't go digging the hole deeper and possibly jeopardizing box office, man... not a fight worth fighting...

Did Harry grab em by the pussy?

I don't think so. But Harry's not stupid. He knows that it's a feeding frenzy right now on his ass and he's apparently going to hand the site over to his sister to control while he goes soul searching.

I dare say AICN is done. At least what it was. It's probably going to linger for months maybe years, then quietly die.

Fuck, what a great run, sad it ended on such a downer...

Why do I think harry didn't go grabbing up all kinds of booty meat and titty meat? Because I saw how girl's play with my own two damn eyes. I even recorded it, but it was years ago and I have since lost the recording.

A cab driver was trying to drop off some girl in my neighborhood. She didn't want to be dropped off there... said something about not knowing the area. Apparently she was annoying the driver and he wanted her to leave. No cost. She refused and threatened to call the cops and tell them that she was sexually assaulted by the cab driver... he had no choice but to comply after that because he knew his black ass would be tossed in jail no questions asked.

Women know they have the power to cry rape and get a guy fucked. In fact, yeah the courts, all of it is heavily HEAVILY against males...

There's not going to be innocent until proven guilty if a girl says you touched her titties or something, shit's crazy....

The trick is being THAT GUY that she WANTS to get sexually assaulted by, but that's another story...

Just being real, sorry if I offend any over sensitives.

Saudi women can drive

Hardly worth blogging about I guess, but I do want to move on from being consumed by thoughts of the fall of AICN... a few words on that. Apparently Dannie, Harry's sister is writing for the site in light of the loss of the majority of its staff. I actually like Dannie a lot, she's actually an interesting cheerful nice chick. In another universe I'd mess with that. People are calling Harry out on his ignoring the subject and seemingly trying to use his sister as a shield. I don't know man, this is indeed going to make things worse although maybe this is what harry's enemies want, him to get even more tomatoes tossed at him as he tries to explain himself and make the topic a non-issue... It's never a non-issue, and the mob mentality of the internet does easily destroys people, one of its worst things. I've been using the web a long time. The worst thing that can happen to it, is it becoming like reality where a loud minority can group think people into becoming a crazy mob and attack a person. Sadly through twitter, facebook, people have that chance.

Do I care for fuck all sake? Not really. I just wish this internet thing could be more useful in the sense that any and all good looking ladies just wip out the titties and make life fun 24/7 and peolple shut the fuck up about politics. How about that?

Posting stories about people born with terrible fuck life diseases. God Damn.... yeah, this world is FULL of shit, but I don't want to and neither does anyone want to constantly be belabored by those things...

So women will be driving in Saudi Arabia. Interesting... Whatever, right. Women can do that without issue.

Lol though, they're going to have shit tons of accidents. Dumbasses over there will now be dealing with an entire crop of new drivers, it's gonna be a shit show.

A lot of people are happy about this progressive move. It could lead to less bullshitty living conditions for females in those countries.

One wonders what their gov is smoking. A woman can birth children but hell no, don't let one drive, that's too much to handle. Makes no sense.

Will this progress their nation at all? Will this move them towards freakin being actually open to new ways of life new views on things? One hopes...

It's sad to me that there's countries that are happily living in some time bubble lost in the dark ages and refuse to acknowledge we're in the future and better stuff ways of life exist.

Blacks specifically.  It's like sad to me, the way blacks around the world cling to a culture of fear of others, and stifled intellectual growth. Why? What's wrong with trying to improve your life? Don't got a clue... But it's awful. It's amazing. Let's prove to the racist world that we deserve equality by causing trouble, acting dumb, and being belligerent and tossing the race card out at every little thing. I can tell you from my days in the trenches with blacks, that's the bullshit of being black. Door's wide open to getting places, doing new things and potentially getting a good decent life, nope don't want it... sad stuff.

We all got to progress out of the damn dark ages goddamn...

Aicn

I saw this news feed pop up on facebook about Harry Knowels being banned from Alamo Drafthouse... I thought, whatever fake article, shrugs...

The thing's f'n true. Apparently harry is being accused by some women for sexual abuse. He denies everything but got banned. 

This. IS. HUGE. 

Harry's appeard on tv. He's become this mini celebrity through sheer passion for film and one would suspect he'd be alright and go places even has friends in the industry who got their start writing for his site. He's a huge if controversal figure in the movie world. To get banned from watching movies and his career is centered around movies, yeah looks bad. 

The talkbacks have been shut down. Many of the staff at AICN have quit. Some in the last talk backs active are saying that the staff at aicn quit because they know harry has actually done these things and can't deny it. 

Wow... I'm beyond surprised and shocked. Harry's been a very long term buddy to me. we were like all together in one geek zone back in the star wars prequel era. I've gotten to know his family through facebook. Just normal freakin people. 

And look at harry. Why would a good looking chick get close enough.... 

shit's hitting the fan bad for the dude and he's not addressed it publically yet. Only thing is that the site's severely crippled now with most of its writers having jumped ship. Apparently within a matter of days aicn has just poof imploded. 

Fuck. It was awesome. There's not going to be a place like it ever again if it dies. 

Things fall apart

"devil in the white house..."

Indeed, laura bush from Oliver Stone's W.

I went to see W, basically a movie about shit going on during my life. I was there throughout the bush presidency witnessing all the political ping pong and all his fumbles and all of his idiotic decisions.

The thing that strikes me now, we're sitting here ready to do it all over again. We all know Bush failed as a president, that's no secret. He was too dumb, too out of touch with humanity, too much of a cowboy trying to get out of his father's shadow and the way the world got rocked when I was in high school, boy, not a good life to live. In a way, we're still frozen in Bush land. Obama this Obama that, we're still in the back of our minds dreading 9/11 2.0 and guaranteed I can feel rest assured we're going to get it ten fold under this flimsy wacky white house today.

Not to mention Puerto Rico's in the shit and the freakin white house is turning a blind eye to it. WTF...

I just can't believe it. I didn't want to be here. Honestly should have probably just offed myself like I planned back in the day.

I do like life somewhat still, the movie I'm making, the titties I'm seeing, I like that stuff still... that's about it. Not too keen on much. Star Wars of course.... so dire this day, and unfortunate.

I don't like reading twitter battles between extreme viewpoints online. Indeed we're getting more divided. It's not a simple, screw this white house and its corruption play anymore. There's a division between those on one side and the other and whatever loops ya gotta do to get your point across go for it, eh...

Friggin stupid stuff politics. Now North freakin Korea is claiming war has been declared through twitter. OH yeah I sat in class years go thinking someone could steer us towards world war 3 by a few sentences spat out through a cell phone or palm pilot, that's what I was thinking, oh hell yeah...

JESUS.

M. Night anxious about unbreakable 2

Frankly we all are. I'm f'n like worried it's gonna suck more than he is.... It's like making the sequel to superman the movie, f'n star wars even, maybe more the matrix, but my point stands...

Here I am drudging along making my own movie as he's struggling with his inner demons to find the soul of his new film...

Listen, let it go. The more you fight it, the more it's gonna be a pain. Like, as sappy as it is, you got to just let the force flow.

I'm here in the midst of the static shock movie and as I make it, the actual ACT of shooting it brings forth new ideas. It's not the planning stage that does it. Going out in the forest and shit, THAT'S when the movie comes to me. That's when I get better ideas.

So the old saying is true. RIP OFF THE BAND AID.

Politicsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Fascinating. NOT

It's essentially the art of telling the best lies the loudest.

A few words on the Lawrence O Donnel Nigga moment as I call it. I mean I don't suck the guys dick myself. I don't agree with everything he says although he's brave to be so starkly against the Crump Hitler White House bullshit we have today... He's certainly enjoying the white privilege now that I'm older I get the message, different rules for whites than blacks. His outburst if it came from blackness, he'd be fired, humiliated, lose ratings, but interesting that since he's white, he'll be given a cup of tea and a pillow and told oh you... silly billy.... Edit, forgot to say what I think about him personally after seeing the REAL him and not that phony persona he puts on. I think it'd be interesting if he was himself more. Be real with us, don't play political poker like fox news. It's understandable why he got upset and his apology was reflective and acknowledged he was out of line. Nicely done, something we will never see from the douche in the oval office so that's commendable. However, yes, this is and will always be something that hurts him and his credibility from here forward, and that's a shame.

Interesting... I gotta say, being white is like being a magical super unstoppable free American or something. ENJOY THAT SHIT YALL.

Makes me wonder why zoie burger is with a black dude. Is she one of those white girls who's trying to get back at daddy or some shit? It was definitely a shock, she goes on about how she's revealing her boyfriend and stuff, then she posts a pic of her boyfriend being a black guy. And twitter explodes with racism. It was hilarious... how many of her fans fapped to her and had no idea they were fapping to a jungle fever white girl? Must have been a bit of a disappointment...

Further news. WE'RE ALL GOING TO FUCKING DIE.

Thump is going off the cliff. Some say yeah Kim Jo-Kardash-un whatever his fucking name is all bluster, he's been threatening US for ages, and he'll not do shit once again. THAT'S BECAUSE PAST PRESIDENTS WERE INTELLIGENT. Sorry to caps out on you, but I think we've yet to fully understand the insanity of what the dumb fuck in charge is currently steering our country towards. Full blown world war 3 all because of an ego maniac who wants to prove something....

It's frustrating see saw nonsense. The republicans are realizing what we all know Lump is not fit to be president and has no right to be in charge of nukes. But he still has any kind of support at all? Health care bill working the rounds now apparently that will be a death sentence for millions... fuck is going on? Did this thing not get fucked already?

It's a shitty time to be alive sadly, and even worse to go through it all with people you still admire respect and love. I can pull up morgan webb's twitter. I watch Pirillo's vids religiously because he's like a brother to me. I love the guy. I still follow er.. stalk all my old tech tv friends to this day and not once did I think as I watched them way back in anchient times that we'd end up here. Tech was supposed to bring us hope, improve our lives. Not some how land us here with a psycho shitting out his ass on the internet for all to see world wide and make us fear for our lives with his saber rattling...

I think and it's evident in how a tweet I posted got liked a lot, that a lot of us WANT to go back to innocently playing playstation and reading gaming mags at lunch in high school... I mean say whatever you want, yeah I got bullied and shit, but it was fine. I played videogames, watched Morgan Webb's BIG AS TITTIES. Life was good. FUCK today...

....I'm so angry, pissed off about where I am right now. Pissed and dissapointed at myself for not having done what I thought would be right and freakin get that hot girl who was right in front of my fuckin face and I kinda wanted so bad, but was too much of a chicken shit to go after. I feel like I've freakin fucked up and this world isn't helping, mannnnnnnnnn. Anyway, how's your day, good?

Linda Hamilton is Back

I gotta talk about this today... been a terminator nut since I rented that bitch from the video store as a kid... all about the franchise.

I've seen terminator taken and molded into 50 different varieties from the comics to the goddamn tiger videogame which was actually pretty fucking good to me, when I got to the final boss which was freakin skynet and it was the fucking like big tentacle creature, sweet level. I want to play that shit again.

But anyway I don't know why anyone is being shocked by this shit at all. People saying haven't we gotten enough bad terminator sequels, why pile on?

Who the hell says Cameron's above this shit? Did none of you dumbasses ever go to the Terminator 3D ride? HOLY shit, it was awesome, but made no fucking sense, but it was awesome.

Like I said prior. The terminator movies have already had their weird variations, making more is kinda its thing...

I don't hate T3 or T4 or T5. I grew up watching and living with those kinds of movies. You can't be a stuck up prude elitist when it comes to offshoots and fan films like the sequels ended up being. You roll with them. Be open about it.

The only thing I hate is Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese and the way they handled the T-3000 story. Such a joke. They flirt with the idea that Conner is still inside the T-3000 fighting it, but he never shows any spark of that being true in the end, it's just pure ol brute force that beats him. Could have been a great darth vader, power of love overcomes evil moment, too bad.... Parts of Genysis are actually fine. Yeah, Arnold playing the terminator at all again was amazing to watch for me. He's actually the highlight and only thing worth shit in it. So much history and understanding of the character in his performance, there's a passion from him. He LOVES being the terminator. So sad that he was surrounded by such a shitty film. So sad. He was excellent and totally worth it to see arnold playing terminator again. It's simply not terminator without him to be honest. But time will not allow him to play him forever sadly... I enjoyed once again seeing arnold back as him.

That's why I can't feel Salvation's anymore than a very well made fan film, genysis is too, but it gets points for having arny back that's for sure.

what about t3? IF they goddamn put in a line about how they found the arm in the factory and that allowed them to continue the research on the terminator, it'd actually all make sense, all of it. Not that judgement day is inevitable, if it's inevitable that makes EVERYTHING in T2 pointless, why did they have that line in the movie? But that yeah they made a mistake. Unaware that the arm was left behind and it lead to them having something to help them keep going... But no, they didn't do their homework and came up with something that was just decent rehash of T2 without anywhere close to the same amazing quality and brilliance. Just a weaker copy, nothing more nothing less. Honestly yeah, it's hard to find a reason to even give two fucks about T3. It didn't mean anything to the franchise. It basically shows us that T2 was pointless, judgement day fucking happened anyway, the end... what the fuck....

But yeah, we're in robocop sequel mode right now with the franchise. They're missing the point of the first movies and just taking robocop and bashing him through things all day and calling it a legit robocop movie, that's all they're doing....

Could having the actual cast back and Cameron overseeing it mean we're going to get the real T3. Hell I've waited a hell of a long time for them to finally stop fucking around and finally make a legit T3, don't know if I care anymore...

This could work, really finally give us a good one that we don't have to feel ashamed of, or it's going to sit right there next to the shit pile of sequels time will try to forget happened.... We shall see.

Shooting the Swing

Trying to. Goddamn, I finally get up early in the morning to go do some photography for the static shock movie and all I see is kids and school buses. Mind you, I saw that when I was doing my newspaper route, but to actually get out and see gaggles of kids waiting for the school bus, so frustrating and awkward. I haven't lived that life of being a school kid for sooooo long, I feel so alien to it now. I feel like an outsider looking in and wish I could tell these kids to not waste their time on the shitty school system. Learn the things you actually can use when you get older, how about that... but I can't fight the system. It's gonna go crashing off a cliff no matter what I say or do. Especially here in black land that I live in. Stupidity is celebrated, expected, honored. It's sad but the reality. Blacks don't value civility, intelligence, open minds, not at all.

It's a miracle I've actually gotten this far with the static shock project to be honest. So many people hanging out who want to see me fail and I know it... whether it's the standard issue jock bully punk, bunch of politically correct people trying to kick my ass for not conforming to society's expectations, whatever those are... or just idiotic impulsive kids being idiotic impulsive kids.... it's been a battle to get this far here having so much people with a paranoid mindset these days. Everything you do or say around another person, guaranteed they're ready to call the cops on you.

I've experienced this when I was a "kid" let me tell you this. You think I'm just blowing smoke, nope. I was in high school years suffering that nonsense. Then I go to the park to just stare at the sky and I relax on a bench and look up at the clouds thinking about wtf I'm doing and how I'm going to escape high school. Suddenly some dumbass white kids come over to me and say "do you need to use our cell phone to call your parents to pick you up?" I'm like, the FUCK? I quickly realized, Oh I'm black and I'm near them immediately I'm this guy who's up to no good and gonna be in their space.... So I politely say no thanks, I'm fine and they fuck off out of my face, but it was sad. I was like, really these numbskulls are that stupid? Any black person in their community is just lost to them and not in the right place? But yeah, there it is, America.

Ain't just whites though. I mean it's kinda the most ridiculous thing I've ever witnessed, but you can't be black and walk around black neighborhoods either... People gonna look at you with the evil eye and THEY are black too... and that's just wow to me. But yeah, I've lived here all my life. One day just walking to blockbuster, got jumped by wacko blacko. I don't know what the point was, I don't have money, but it was weird, I got jumped, the guy screwed around trying to find my wallet or something, but I don't know what the goal was, I don't think I even had one or any money more than a few quarters and then he just left... Yeah it was traumatic as shit.

Just a wake up call to me about who black people are really. Flawed broken fucked up people to have to live with. It was quick little fight. I didn't just lay there taking his shit. I fought back, maybe that scared his fucked up ass...

I'm actually not someone to fuck with, which is what a lot of guys don't get about me. So many times I've wanted to just kill the bullies in school but I decided not to, might as well have, send a message... don't know.... I'm not this tiny guy. I'm actually pretty sizable and athletic. WHY am I always targeted as if I'm this tiny little peanut who can't put up a fight for shit? What's up with that? People are dumb...

Anyway besides my emo rant, just got to say it's been interesting trying to film a shot where static flies into the woods. I want it to look 100% authentic, no blue screen shit. So I actually rigged up wires in the woods to do it. I did a few practice takes. It looks ok. You'd buy it...

Problem is, I just know some dumb shit community watch retard is going to be up my ass about filming my movie. I just know it... I certainly hope not. I hope that they realize that this is just something I personally want to do and it has no impact on you and your life, but I don't have the luxury of feeling that way, I'm not white. I'll likely have some interference from some group of noble community saviors protecting the youths. I hate that about living around here. These people around here HATE young black males. They've had too many cases of young black males fucking things up around here. They even see you step a toe out of line, they're on you like you got the blood on your hands right there and then, not trial, not jury, no shit, they're gonna kick your ass. It's like living in a town surrounded by white people. Imagine that shit. Imagine if my black ass was living in a white community. I'd be enemy number one right? Well I'm enemy number one here just for being a young black guy, period. It's pretty damn awful.

I roll with it... I mean I try to just stay low, don't get nobody's attention, but yeah good luck with that. You black, you're gonna get attention for being black prettymuch...

Gonna try to get a lot done today, take a break from worrying about getting a job, then go work on getting a job tomorrow if I can... that's all for now...

What's going on and where I'm at

I'm here, still looking at the static shock project and hoping to finish something. I've decided to at least try to shoot a bit of it every day instead of wasting a day for no reason. Whether it's training shots or just little close ups I want to get for the final battle. If it's a close up, why do I need to go out into the woods to shoot it? So I fake it around here some where.

Wish I had a better camera. Exposure levels I've tried to adjust to work better, not happening, the thing's forever kinda gonna be shit. I mean if I set it to film at 30fps, it'd look better but I want full 60fps, not going to compromise and I shot everything else at that framerate, so yeah, not going to do less if I can. It's an excellent camera at close range. I mean the detail when things are right up next to the lense is excellent. When it has to shoot a full complex scene it buckles and looks like shit, so I have no choice but to only shoot the movie at medium and close range. I cannot hope to get epic wide shots with this camera, it'll fail dramatically.

Currently as I type this planning my shooting schedule. Surprisingly very good decisions I've made as far as not trying to do too many split screen effects shots.... Those of course are tough to do properly. I will try to get those out of the way first so I don't even have to be concerned with them the rest of the shoot. Indeed there's a large difference between what you intend to do and what you can do permitted by time and the actual damn environment itself.

Not really going to be as bad as I thought initially. I will be able to knock most of the final battle out sans the part where I get struck by lightning... That may be something I have to fully green screen, dunno yet. That part's still a mystery. Poor decision to neglect staying in shape for all these months, but dammit what can I say.... dumbass be a dumbass sometimes.

We'll see how it goes. It's a good movie, quality stuff. Just had little ideas for shots I want to accomplish etc. Need to go scout a location with a bridge for the shot where static enters the scene all dramatic and badass. I mean shooting the final battle is imperative as I can definitely notice the trees starting to die out... if the environment changes I'm fucked. So yeahhhhhh gotta move.......

BOOM

Here's the first ever costume fitting of Boom, the villain from my fan movie...

Yeeeeeeeeeeeep... gonna be interesting filming in this getup. Can't see shit once the glasses fog up from my breath so don't really know how I'm going to make it through it... 

Some homeless black son of a bingo tried to steal my wallet and money from my back pack while I was in the woods. HE LIVES THERE. Second time I've seen him. Worrying that I'm going to call the cops, tried to apologize and asks me if we're cool. No, I'm about to kick your old black ass, get the fuck out of my face. Shit like this is why white people join the KKK all day, dumb fuck. 

Not surprised, but yeah wasn't expecting to get robbed especially in broad daylight by the homeless guys living in the park, but I was wrong... Part of living in black communities, bring a weapon with you wherever you go, gonna be one black dude with sticky fingers, just the way it is... 

I did bring my pepper spray. If I even dreamed I'd be robbed, would have had it in my pocket from the start, but I figured, who the fuck is hanging out in these empty woods? OOOOOOPS...

Makes me say once again, I can understand why cops are overly aggressive towards me when they see me. Assholes like him. 

Matters NOT. I was shaken, and rattled by this sudden super duper black straight out of goddamn africa guy having a field day rummaging through my back pack, but I pressed on... I some how collected myself and kept trying to shoot bits of the movie and get some lighting samples of how I look in the boom costume which I've been wanting to do for days.... 

Discouraged, yep. Not wanting to go back to the park to film anymore knowing that homeless crackheads live there and are going to be starting shit, yep, but I have no choice, got to try... 

But yeah, I'm emotionally rattled and such, not going to be easy doing this project. If indeed things become too rough with it I'll have to post pone it since I mean once the damn park turns brown and loses the green, it's going to be over... 

I'm also artistically overwhelmed. There's so much potentially good cinematic amazing visuals I can do with the park that I'm having a hard time choosing what to do and waste time struggling to figure out what to film. So yeah got to schedule this shit obviously.... shoot bits one day, do other bits another. I was on my way out of the park and thinking, hmmm could get a shot of static walking through here all bad ass... Then I said, nah, park's not going anywhere do it later, so I moved on... 

Yeah, I'm just I mean, the thought that's killing me is that I could be dead. Luckily that guy didn't have a gun or a knife and was too scared he'd get tossed in jail because I'm mulatto and he thinks I'm someone of authority I guess, I don't know... But if he only just murdered me and ran off with my things he'd have no problems. Thank god he's retarded... 

So yeah I'm going to try to speed things up. I DO NOT want to be constantly going back to that park again and again and again so that next time he feels more comfortable taking a rock to my skull before robbing me. 

BE SAFE GUYS, This world is not meant to be played with. It's not a toy. 

got my hair cream

One thing I'm still struggling with to this day, how to style my hair... I mean, that's a part of the black experience, the difficulties of taming an afro. What are my thoughts on it after having had one all my life. Are there benefits to an afro. It probably has some kinda benefits as far as not going bald or something I don't know the full spectrum of that stuff...

Basically my hair has always lacked moisture. Since most hair products are designed for white hair, they're not considering that black people's hair needs to be constantly moisturized to prevent over drying out and becoming coarse. So yeah I've never had the advantage of having hair care products designed to moisturize and soften my hair which is somewhat mixed hair and simply needs to be moistened to be tamed and not dry out too much...

I've been experimenting with everything under the sun to find that one product that works. FOUND NOTHING.

Then one day tried my sister's stuff. What a dumbass I am. She's just me but female, I should probably just use her stuff since she has the same hair as me, same genetics as me, and her hair's always been better than mine. I try one of her products one day. HOLY GOD, it just worked, my hair was like goku's from dragon ball, Just the perfect amount of softness and spikeyness to it. HOLY. So I looked at the ingredients and did some weird science to try and figure out what was making it actually moisturize my hair and keep it like that for hours. It wasn't perfect, but it worked a shit ton better than the normal hair treatments I use.

Argan... Oil... two little ingredient words I then did some research on and found out it's prettymuch the go to stuff to soften and moisturize hair all day...

Why am I going on about this right now like a little diva queen faggot talking about hair products for blacks?

Cuz I'm gonna need it. Got to have something decent on camera when I start heavily shooting the movie and I mean, yeah it's the only stuff that when I use it, it keeps the hair looking smooth and moist instead of dried out and brittle like a freakin brillo pad bullshit.

Sadly there's just not much interest in this world to cater to black issues and life styles. But yeah maybe I'll educate someone like me out there who's having trouble as I did in finding black specific remedies etc.

Makes you indeed recognize the necessity for black specific education programs instead of sending a black kid through a white designed white run system and wondering why the blue fart they can't make it through it. JUST SAIYAN!!!!!!!!!

thinking about star wars

shiiiit, I'm just struggling right now to figure out where they're going with the franchise. My brain is incapable of making sense of what we'll be getting down the pipe from JJ. I was thinking about it... Firstly my mind got the idea that yeah, do we honsetly care about Rey, Finn and Poe? Honestly, no I don't give two shits about them. I want to see what Luke, and Leia are up to. Now that we will sadly not be having Leia in the next movie, that leaves Luke, and wow, kinda not the star wars I was dreaming of in the final trilogy... All the prinicple beloved characters are just dead or elderly. What the blue bananas.

And JJ is like, just not going to bring a lot better or anything much greater than what he's delivered so far. What pull is there for this movie.

Star Wars hasn't had much success focusing on anything but the skywalkers and their story.

Lucas tried to swing it a bit towards newer ideas and characters and they all flopped, no one gives a toss bout quigon dooku grievous jango watto, no impact, no meaning to those characters, they're nothing. The driving force, heh, of star wars is the skywalker story. So yeah, I was thinking, no, I don't watch the original trilogy and think oh can't wait to get to the story of rey and random black storm trooper guy, fuck this skywalker shit... that stuff while interesting means little to the main story of the skywalkers. So now that the original trilogy actors are kinda leaving the franchise behind willingly and unwillingly what's going to draw people to star wars now?

I've seen this all before. They did this same passing the torch thing with star trek. They knew the old cast was aging, so they made some sort of movies to connect the old cast with the new cast who they wanted fans to feel were just as legit. It was a catastrophe. They did the same thing back then and apparently they're doing it now. I was hoping they'd avoid star trek's mistake of trying to force the old and new cast together at the same time getting rid of the old cast in some anti-climactic sad way that makes all they accomplished mean little or nothing...

I honestly never watched star wars saying, hell yeah, can't wait to see Luke fail at becoming a Jedi master, Leia NOT learning her jedi powers even a little bit, and Han going out like obiwan cuz we all know those characters are the same. Wtf... yeah, agree with mark hamill, Luke should have showed up after sensing his fucking friends were in danger through the force and actually done something... poor bastard having his character dragged through the mud in the new movies for whatever reason...

Does Kennedy and Lucasfilm even know these characters???

Jesus what are you assholes doing? Leia not learning her powers? "The LAST Jedi" HELLO, LEIA's still a jedi too! wtf are you smoking?

It was always fascinating to wonder what the hell Leia would have been as a fellow jedi master at Luke's new Jedi Temple. Holy fuck would that be interesting story. All of it thrown in the garbage and for some reason Luke is considered the last jedi... When he's a twin and his sister has powers she's yet to fully make use of and is potentially one of the most powerful jedi to ever exist. None of the decision to NOT have Leia train a little smidge makes any sense. Luke clearly says in RotJ that Leia will learn her powers too. One of the reasons Luke feels confident confronting Vader is because Leia will be able to continue the line of the Jedi and he truly isn't the last. Well boy was his ass wrong...

So, yeah I'm going to guess that despite not learning an ounce of how to use the force, Leia will pass into the force and dissapear, That's the only way they can make sense of her not showing up at all in the last movie... sadly and I'm truly sad about it, she will have to die at some point in the Last Jedi. Unless, and this would actually make things interesting, Rey absorbs her.

Rumor is that Rey is Leia daughter from another man, not Han. If that's the case, I mean it's good either way, luke's daughter, Leia's daughter. It'd be really fascinating if Leia learned the power to pass her spirit into Rey. If Jedi had this power, that'd actually be damn neat, or it's actually a sith power, whoa now we're really making things crazy... but yeah, Leia still lives inside of Rey after they fuse and Rey becomes like even more powerful... silly but works and keeps Leia in the story and makes Rey actually have some kind of complexity and interesting character issues.

I'd like that better than just having Leia just die. Use the force and have her ghost possess rey and become like a special thing rey can tap into, the Leia side of her, that'd be awesome as hell....

I refuse to believe Leia never trained. It'd be interesting if yeah, they had some bait and switch, make us THINK Leia never trained, but she's been working on her powers for decades and knows some deep level jedi powers that leads to her busting them out at a key moment when luke gets injured or something... then it's revealed she knows how to become immortal by passing her spirit into another Jedi's body, oh my god please do this, it'd be the only way to keep these movies awesome after losing my love Carrie. Still don't want to believe she's gone... this would help ease the pain in a way and be a metaphor for life, death, and rebirth....

Oh well, just had these thoughts and stuff, that's all....

JJ Abrams will be making the Last Star Wars movie

How do I feel about it... Shit, not what I hoped for. I don't think it's what HE hoped for either. He wanted to get his teeth cut on star wars, then move on. Now he's going down that slide again. It's kinda sacrilegious, allowing a star trek director to make star wars films. But we all knew he was already making star wars movies using star trek. The joke was that, ok, just let the guy make a real star wars movie for the hell of it...

He's middle of the road though. He'll deliver a movie that you watch, say eh that was ok, then not care about ten minutes later. Even the prequels made you think about something or admire the insane amount of complex work that went into them... JJ can't deliver even that though he's alright, not a bad director... He's just so stiff and technical, like a machine. No soul to his directing...

All of his movies are like that. I'm not going to be nice about this. Star Wars means more to me than anything. I don't want it to get kinda half assed nowadays. Do it properly!

Star Wars has to have a heart, visually stunning imagery, almost biblical level of passion put into it. So that when you watch it, you're swept away to another world completely. Where the prequels failed, especially RotS, Lucas obviously broke down his realistic emotionally driven dramatic universe and turned it into a big dumb videogame cut scene...

Something fishy is happening over at Lucasfilm. Supposedly they had a broad outline to things, but never a fully planned idea of where all these events were going. We can tell... I'm guessing the last movie is really in a bad state as there REALLY is no plan for how it will end and they're kinda having to scramble for ideas last minute now with no Leia in the script, and the director being fired for being such a hacky director...

Man, it's tough to make a sequel that has to tie up events from previous movies in itself, hell of a lot tougher when you don't have a road map for where the hell it all is supposed to go. Peter Jackson will tell you he made a mistake going full hog into the hobbit movies without planning it all the way. He had to scramble to make sense of the bullcrap story he was trying to tell since he didn't plan it out before shooting it,  he admits he winged the production and didn't actually plan it as throuroughly as the Lotr movies were... we can tell.

Potter could have definitely used better planning, that's for sure. Probably the most meandering bunch of movies ever made just going all over the place and ultimately putting stuff in the movies that didn't get paid off at all in the sequels because the damn books weren't written yet before they shot the movies... so tragic, good set of films, fumbled by the reality that they shot the movies before the final books were written, so a lot of potential was wasted....

Gotta plan these things... Gotta. I mean, if I had it my way, I'd make it a real experimental other worldy bizarre star wars movie that really takes it to a new level. That's not what we'll get. We'll get a safe ordinary decenet force awakens style film again, and that's a shame...

But obviously now that a female is heading Lucasfilm, they have no balls. Was that too harsh? I'm kinda pissed that's how it is....

Trailer Finished

Decided on a more hip hoppy happy trailer than my original plan for a down beat epic dramatic trailer...

Worked hard for 2 days like a madman to make it. Not my hardest edit, but definitely up there... came out ok. Going to make the final film stuff a lot more cinematic and fix this camera's poor white balance and exposure levels so hopefully the picture is far better... take a look, something to see....;p

Working on the Trailer

Yep, I mean, the TRAILER. I've been doing Teasers for a while now... I'm going to be cutting together the actual first full length TRAILER for Static Shock The MOVIE.

That's why I've been filming some scraps of the final battle scenes and opening shot of the film. I didn't have shit to put in the trailer so now I do!

And now that I've grown a pair of balls and actually scouted the location where I'll be shooting the final battle scene... I'm going to fine tune all the layouts I've made to actually take place in the environment...

Learned a lot about making movies and what it takes gotta say... you can't respect or even critique film making unless you make them yourself in my opinion. From here forward I believe that. Don't talk about a process and discipline you don't understand or have ever tried to do. You gain a new understanding of the struggle and effort that goes into movies after you try to make your own.

It's not easy. Demands a lot of complex work.

Like, just today I was losing my mind because I didn't have the Boom Costume fully even made up and thought I lost parts of it... So lesson number one, have all the costumes ready before even making the thing. I'd have had to delay the film for a while until I could buy back what I thought I lost from his costume.

Truth be told I didn't plan the movie meticulously, didn't really think I needed too, but yeah probably should have. Going to be doing a lot of guess work as far as what goes where in terms of frieda's character and how she fits in, the biggest ? mark of the project. I simply don't have her nailed down in full as far as my ideas on what to do with that stuff. I don't know how I'm going to make it work yet, but whatever... Got bigger problems.

It's tough as hell to shoot in a jungle environment. I tried doing stunt falls, but was scared shitless of injuring myself on the rocks and trees. I'm a risk taker at times and don't mind a little pain for the good of the film. And I'm an athletic son of a bitch, so whatever right, wrong. I look at the shit I shot and I'm obviously constantly trying to protect myself as I "fall" to the ground. Wow, gotta work on that shit....

Looking to work on the film every morning at 5am up until whenever I feel I've got it or whenever people start bringing their dogs to the park to go poop. That's just, annoying. But they gotta let the dogs poop.

I just want to film and finish the final battle stuff, get it locked away fully. Then worry about the shit in the middle. Gonna be a lot of jokes, fun stuff, but I can't feel confident shooting that until I know I've got the final battle down. And really I just want to actually have a good point to aim towards, all the beginning is shot, just not the dreaded epic finale. Just want to get it over with and stop having to stinking shoot scenes while thinking about how I'm gonna have such a hard time shooting the final fight. Screw it and just shoot the final fight I say. Plus the most obvious reason, I can't have it take place in the goddamn autumn.. gotta have some summer and use it. So yeah, I mean, just it's best to get it done now...

I'll say it though maybe I should keep it secret, I will be needing to be in pretty great shape for the final stuff in the film. Which I'm far from. So it's going to take me quite a while to get that shape. So yeah, reason why I want to get the final battle done too, so I can concentrate on the part where I need to be ripped up.

Will I get it done. YES. I know what I have to do. I can do it. I can see the end of the tunnel here. I'm an ameature with goddamn After Effects and green screen, so deal with how bad those are going to be. But now that I've actually taken the bitter pill and rolled around in freakin thorny terrible jungle bushes and experienced the warzone that is film making gurilla style, yep, I can knock this final battle out in a week.

I give myself until the end of the month to get it done...

Trailer on the way, stay tuned.

Thawtz on film making

I'd rather draw all day than film. Anyone can't talk anymore, just shut your mouth if you've never gotten out there and filmed and acted on camera. It's just bone crushing exhausting stuff. Bravo to all the people who do it. As a film watcher all my life, wanted to get into it, going out into the park and doing it though, want to just shoot myself in the head. It's terrible.

You have no time, the camera always gets shit in the lens, the lighting is never good. As you can see in those photos the lighting is awful. As it was a cloudy day, the sun was obscured.

Yeah it's tough, tougher than doing regular sketch art without a doubt to me. It's just you and the paper, a quiet, simple straight forward dance. The hectic bullshit of actual filming, oh god damn...

As for what I'm planning.... Well, I've shot stuff and lots of stuff and more stuff and just trying to figure out what exposure levels and shit look good out there so it has some sense of professionalism to it.

I've discovered how cool and cinematic things can look when you have multiple layers to a shot. Where there's shit in the foreground to kinda add depth to the shot rather than it being just plain old one dimensional kinda thing.

I enjoy the final result when it works, hate the struggle to get there with a passion. I'm looking forward to getting back into what I really like to do, sketch art, and making animation and videos. I'm all about just building things from my head into the composition, not trying to cobble together my vision from the environment and whatever randomly happens when the camera rolls... didn't know I'd hate it so much....

The final battle scene rest assured will be fantastic. The park I am shooting in is mostly un-occupied as it's not a children's park, basically some place people go to walk their dogs. I've known of it all my childhood as it's always been there accross the street from the library I used to go to, but never actually went deep into it. It's breathtaking how gorgeous the place is and huge, so yeah my fears of being bothered by people as I film this thing, not truly merited. There's barely anyone in the park since it's just a big forrest gump. Glad I have easy access to it and will be able to get amazing visuals there...

That's all for now... I'm going to just keep trying to get a job and keep pushing forward as usual with my life as much as many apparently are pushing for my death... strange seesaw I'm on nowadays.

Current Stupid part 2

Seems to be a microcosm of the world, twitter.

I notice that. The white or whatever else twitter users are on and on about politics, puppies, kittens, current events, family and friends, or the silly happenings of the moment.

Black twitter is basically: Damn this world is racist.

I mean, that's like not a joke, but it exposes how society works. There's everybody else having a good time and then there's black people complaining all day about being treated like lower class citizens.

Of course the topic of the moment, an NFL player got rocked by cops after they saw him running from possible gun shots fired. Didn't I make a post about how cops love to chase and pounce down running black guys. Probably should try not to run at all around cops (Yes I know about blake and how he got rocked by cops despite not doing anything) if you're black. It's something for them to do, they're bored, got no one to bully today, of course they're going to find a black guy to harass.

This is not news. Of course cops hate black people. Of course most of society hates black people. Of course black people even hate black people.

Who gives a fuck. Live your life and stop making it about me me me... You're gonna be old and wonder where the hell your youth went...

I don't understand that. I mean I never contemplated what the fuck I'd do at 31 but I'm trying to squeeze as much of my life goals out at this point as I can before I truly become an old black man and have to deal with the assfest of being on that side of life.

Ain't gonna be fun. I mean I don't know if any age is good for being black, truth be told. Only thing is if you're under 18 you have less drama cuz you're a "kid" and don't get the full load of the racist world bearing down on you. Forget it after that. You'll be sipping an ecto cooler and minding your own business and have a gang of kkkops bother you wherever you go, whatever you do...

I don't let it bother me. It's not like I have a life. I mean yeah if I had a career, girlfriend, all kinds of things probably would be bothered by the harassment from mini hitlers with badges.

Now comes the raw deal. If I see a gaggle of black teens hanging out at the bus stop will I walk through them to get to where I'm going? FUCK NO.

I've gone through that stage of high school black attack, kinda feel like if I get bullied ONE more time by some teen or young adult black person, it's done. I'm killing him.

Didn't know I'd end up dealing with those guys at work. Those idiots are WHY the KKK still exists. The black people who don't give a fuck and ARE trying to stir shit up with everyone and were born assholes. Boondocks has a whole episode dedicated to pure evil black kids all of use black people encounter as we grow up. You know, that black kid who's just not an ounce good. He's existing to confirm and live up to every stereotype there is for blacks and just be a numbskull all his life till he rots in jail. They exist.

I mean my brother started out as one of those, but he started having kids and he's since grown up out of that "im a gangster" stage of his life and wants to take care of his kids and give them the life he didn't achieve.... understandable... and I sympathize with those black kids who are bullies but have the potential to turn around. But sorry, the black kids who are pure rotten garbage, I'm never going to give a shit about, ever... been there done that.... fuck with me and I'll knock your dumb ass out.

So overall do I give a shit when black people bemoan the poor treatment they recieve in life on twitter? Yes and No.

You can't always play the race card...

I was racially profiled by cops when I was sitting around waiting for the train, bunch of them came out ready to spray me up with bullets for being black and existing in their corner of the universe...

Sadly as much as it angers me that they did that, I know why. I'm expecting and have had my expectations confirmed many times, young black males to be up to no good TODAY... I've barely gone a week without dealing with some retardedness from dumbass black kids, so put yourself in a cops position, scare the shit out the next gangsterlicious black kid and make him stand down and not put up a ruckus in public, or give those guys reason to feel they can act out like wild fucktards as is their MO...

It's a tragic thing. It's wrong that there exist a sense of overwhelming racism targeted towards a certain group, then that group of people themselves knowing why it exists at the same time...

In my opnion, the onus is on black people. Let the videos speak for themselves. Blacks being good innocent people and getting tragically treated poorly. Not have shit like the bunch of black kids torturing a dude on facebook as a defense for cops profiling blacks. Don't add fuel to the fire... I know I'm talking to a brick wall, but it's a thought...

New Static shock pics

Here they are, will also post to my facebook page:

I'm doing it, actually since I got the camera now decided to go to the nearby little park and get started with filming. Surprised to find just a few feet from the entrance of the park exactly the spots I envisioned in my head, the cliff, the tree, the little tiny area with a small river, it's all there and today it rained so the tiny stream was flowing and if I actually had the motivation might have shot the scene where static falls into the water, but that's definitely for another day...

Who's going to direct episode 9...

I had a feeling Colin would be axed, I mean it's just like giving the movie to brett ratner based on his success at the box office. Ratner's not a bad director, but he's not GREAT. And that's what episdoe 9 needs. Hell even Episode 8 doesn't need to be great. But No, you can't have dingo Joe Nobody director helming Episode 9, just get out of here with that bullshit.

So now heads are spinning around, people wondering who's going to tackle the last movie. Some say, just call back JJ. eh...

I kinda am ok with that, but he's proven to not have an ounce of his own damn creative juice at all and sadly that's not what I want personally for 9. It needs a Vision.

Me personally wouldn't mind Spielberg doing it. Spielberg's been wanting to do a star wars movie for decades. Lord knows what he has in mind or would have done if Lucas wasn't an asshole and let him actually direct Revenge instead of just letting him direct some of the fight scenes over super mario lava.

Problem is Spielberg's trying to evolve as a director these days, tackle tougher subject matter, bigger more complex things. Making a star wars movie would be a breeze for him. He could do it in his sleep. He'll never take it since it wouldn't be a challenge.

I dare say call Bryan Singer. He's an actual great director working today. Will he want it? Probably not and of course, he's been burned by taking on iconic properties after Superman Returns didn't get the ball rolling on superman despite being a damn near masterpiece.

But if Lucasfilm has any balls they'll consider meeting with Singer about it. He's literally been making star wars movies with all his films imo. I get the same visceral star wars sense from his films so he'd fit right in.

Other than Singer...

People chanting LUCAS LUCAS LUCAS. It would be a dream if Lucas would do the last movie to be honest... NOT WRITE!!! but DIRECT!! the last movie. It'd be the perfect ending to things and quasi legitimize this new trilogy. Problem is that Lucas is not a fan of force awakens. He blatantly dismisses the film and doesn't seem to want anything to do with the new movies, and he had to watch as Disney tore up his own outline for the new trilogy, so you can bet he's going to say no. Just would be awesome if he did, but of course no, work on a movie after selling the rights to the franchise, kinda makes no sense. He'll not want to go open that box of womprats.

I'd be down for James Cameron, though again, he's making his own star wars right now. so yeah why would he jump ship to do real star wars when he can make smurf star wars...

I'd like Ridly Scott to do it since in interviews he goes on about how he loved and was inspired so much by Star Wars. Hell of a thing if he stopped screwing around in Alien and made a freakin badass Star Wars film with his style... shit would be goddamn.

Other choices, hard to think of anyone worthy, but they have to be truly visionary directors who are trying to take film to new levels and do different interesting things, that's the basic qualifications.

Goddamn, I mean in a perfect world, yeah maybe Guerllmo Del Torro would do it... then we saw what happened when he was supposed to do the hobbit movies, shit got boned up real fast. No doubt he'd wanting to stay the fuck out of big franchise films for a while, and that's a shame, man's a genius.

Peter Jackson? I guess, if you want a 5 hour movie that spends 2 hours of fight scenes, but not a bad choice and he's got mountains of experience... hmmm

Most likely though:

Rian Johnson

Ron Howard

Colin Whatever the hell has been Fired.

Finally someone with a brain at lucasfilm...

Goddamn that's I mean at least a step in the right direction. He's a hack director, not at all worthy of the potential FINAL star wars film EVER.

How the hell did they pick him, based on box office of jurrassic world? Might as well have Michael Bay then!!

God, am I happy about this news... Now all we need is a word on them recasting and reshooting all of Lando's part in the Solo film and we're good...

I wish. Have a great day everyone if you can!

gta online current thawts

Here we stand, it's that age, that time when gaming truly has reached its apex moreso now than ever. I've watched its rapid evolution, we all have and it's been an amazing journey. Where else is there to go really. Once you've got the f'n Matrix going, which is what Gta Online is, it's the Matrix, where else is there to f'n go with gaming?

I think even R is having trouble with that question. They've peaked, every DLC is the same shit. The current one is being called out for what it is, more of the same. It's been given a fancy title, a few new variations on aircraft and basically is just the same "go here, pick this shit up and put it over here." grind that we've gotten for the last few months with the other dlc's.

And this isn't above R, they'll release garbage game modes ala tiny racers and that shitty adversary mode with the armor. Both bombed on release and were a joke and embarrassed them.

Even overtime rumble quickly lost their novelty. Why release game modes that will soon be abandoned and become unplayable as nobody wants to suffer them once they become stale?

Only thing that looks any good is the new race mode where you change vehicles throughout the race. And they're holding it back!

My thoughts on the new dlc... might as well be associated with the bunker dlc, it's just an expansion of that, using air craft. They had lofty goals with it, make it its own sort of mini business where people would have massive wars in the sky over smuggling goods by air. But getting your aircraft is still a pain in the ass. So that defeats the purpose if it takes you 10 minutes to spawn your air craft, have to to drive to it, climb up to it whatever.. Nobody wants to be hassled with that. So as long as you join a session where there isn't someone hanging out all day in his jet, you can rest assured nobody's going to spawn their plane 3 miles away just to grief your shipments. Meaning, this dlc is just the ceo and MC and Bunker missions AGAIN but with planes... which actually removes any of the challenge of the other ones since now you can get your shit done without worrying about anyone coming after you because they'd have to take ten years to get their shit and fly after you, you'll be done before they get there.... just dumb...

One good thing about this new dlc and there are a very tiny few good thing about it, you can now spawn the cars from the special vehicle garage, knight rider car etc. As much as the youtube gta guys are trying to find good stuff about it, it's not, it's just a fancy plane hanger and a few new useless planes you'll never use....

Finally they woke up about it and said, ok yeah we can have shit like your buzzard spawn close, your MOC spawn close, the oppressor, mini tank, even pegasus vehicles will be delivered, but naw not your blazer aqua, hell no. Finally they wised up and have it be possible to call for those. That's nice.

Other than that, haven't really seen much about the new stuff that I'd say was worth the trouble of making up a big woop about. Would be nice to have multiple hangers. If you're at the airport, use that. If you're up the map use that. Hell, love to have an actual airline even. Run an airline and you can fly those big air liners. It's possible, the code is in the game to have us fly the jumbo jets, yet they refuse to let us fly them even though it was possible in SA and yeah, flying the jumbo jets is so much fun to do. It's what makes gta gta, you can do shit that you can't do in real life. Now it's like, neutered for whatever reason...

Imagine flying a jumbo Jet loaded with guns and you had a crew of maybe 5 or 6 guys defending your big ass jet from like all kinds of shit. THAT was the intention behind this DLC but they apparently lost their nerve and watered it down for release... stupid....

As it is now, just the same old shit, but easier. You won't get people going after you in the air for your shit, it's too much of a pain to drive down to the planes and all that, you'll be fine...

Let me conclude all this with a rant and a proposal sort of thing:

GTA is a GAME. The purpose of games, from UNO to Snakes and Ladders, to Nintendo to SEGA back to Nintendo and then Over to SONY and XBOX cuz SEGA got Boned...

I'm not going to go into the science of gaming and psychology of gaming which are probably interesting topics. But suffice it enough to say, typical sport games consist of pick up this ball and put it over here to score, wash rinse repeat, where things get interesting is having a wall of various types in between picking up the ball and putting it over there... having interesting people and personalities picking up the ball and putting it over there... having drama, last minute prayers between picking up the ball and putting it over there... to release a game consisting of pick up this ball and put it over there where you just simply walk the ball over un bothered is NOT A GAME. Yet R keeps releasing this shit...

They've forgotten what we buy games for or used to before the games became mini-societies. It used to be because the games were actual full of challenge and you were prevented from winning in every way possible. As the 90s rolled on, the games became more about amazing graphics and we started to hear worries about games becoming too close to reality and becoming life simulators WE ALL SHRUGGED, games still were focused on creating a tough obstacle course to master and build and develop yourself through. That's gaming. It's about getting BETTER at it. So you win. You build yourself up, whatever, fight hadouken, and suddenly IMPROVE. I love games like that. Like, whenever I play GTA I actually just join races mostly, that's still the only thing worth shit to do. The races are actual games, you have to be good to win them, that's kinda the point of a game....

Rockstar has abandoned the GAMING aspect of GTA and focused on the SIMS Aspect of GTA apparently... Life Simulator. Yunno, I liked the sims, then when I did everything, got all the good stuff, built a badass house, I realized, none of this is real and none of this means anything... I just am taking care of a mini digital fish tank.

GTA IS NOT THE SIMS.

Never has been. Never will be. FOCUS ON GAMING.

Edit:

In addition, so tragic really. They release this half baked attempt at getting people to having more air oriented combat which will never 'fly' but they COULD have had us having ocean based combat or even under water combat all along if we could f'n drive our yachts anywhere we wanted and had to defend them from land and air. More proof they don't care...

Getting places...

Doing some split screen work for the static shock fan film thing I'm churning out little by little...

I've worked on this shot all day, aaaaaaaaaaalll day. Yet another attempt at doing split screen back to the future fx and it's no simple thing, it's been bone crushing to figure out what shot works and syncs with the performances I gave as both characters...

Little advice for those looking to do similar stuff...

Try to create shortcuts for yourself when it's all over... Don't have traffic wizzing by in the back ground... My mistake... because of the traffic roto scoping was infinitely harder.

Don't obscure most of the frame at all, EVER, it's going to be roto scope hell...

Try to eliminate the camcorder's auto focus, simply turn it off really. Because of the damn auto focus, it ruined a great take I had which was what I wanted for the scene, but I couldn't stand the blur that happened every time and it just screwed it up...

Buy a wifi camera, that's obvious. Ruined another good take because I nudged the camera, throwing off the split screen.

Ultimately the best thing to do is not overlap the other character because then you really screw it over... I was wise to I guess subconsciously know that I should have one character not move much and be in the corner away from getting a ton of cars and pedestrians in the frame so when I cut that part into the other shot it didn't have any interference or anything mucking up the picture...

It came out as best as it could. Not the take I wanted, but it works, it does the job and if you're not paying attention you might buy that some how I found someone to play another character in this thing for me.

Which sadly is not the case. Participation would be awesome if I actually could find people to help me, but I've always worked alone... It's no different now, just another project, another long day of editing....

I have to fully polish and finish the final fight scenes, get all my props from ebay that are still on their way, and once I got tons of footage ready to go, I will be cutting together a teaser trailer to seal the deal and provide some sense of progression to the project as I'm sure it's been a way too long wait for most people who have any interest in this...

My bad, I've never tackled something of this size. But I think I can do it!

I know it has to be done, honestly. I feel compelled by some greater power to do this shit.... maybe there's a FORCE guiding me....

we only kill black people

WE KNOW!

And then they came for me...

A quote my super smart cousin put on his facebook referencing the famous words of Martin Niemoller...

Someone reiterated the quote in the comment section on a video of a police officer aggressively arresting a nurse who was doing her job and protecting her patient's rights.

I'm shocked that even white people get treated like crap by cops, that's like impossible to my black ass.

But cops don't give a damn.

I've sadly met very few cool cops. Even if they're nice people regularly, whatever trainiing they undergo, they're taught to be belligerent 24/7 and give off this "fuck you" attitude. So yeah it's hard to just feel like you can relax around a cop and I know it's not true, some cops are just nice regular people too. Just got in it for the money, community service, be a hero, who knows...

You should want to become a cop to actually save lives, not go around bullying the public and killing off blacks, but one element of the police force is dedicated to that unfortunately...

Surprised one day to be driving around ny and seeing a black man happily jogging. I was thinking, yanno, a cop will be chasing him down pretty soon... do yo thang bra, good luck with that...

Is all this stuff happening because of Thump? YES, he's actively and stupidly trying to get cops to be more cold blooded. It will not end well. We will have and it's already being discussed in comment sections, potential anti-cop attitudes in the streets when it should not go down like that. Just keep people safe, like super heros. Imagine superman going around being a jackass to the citizens he protects after stopping an asteroid, he says "fuck all of you idiots for not having anti-asteroid tech goddamit!" that's how people feel about cops these days. It's awful...



Well I'm off to the movies to see Terminator 3D, hope I make it in time... just want to give my boy Cameron my respect, he's earned it and I don't really understand what he plans for the next terminator movie, but if anyone can repair the franchise it's going to be him.
