wow, now it's time to get down and dirty...
Interesting times, people not just using the web anonymously like in the past, putting their real ass on the web to be potentially stalked and publicly shamed. I posted all day back in the dial up days, nobody knew me. Well if you wanted to know who I was, I was just some typical internet kid. Watching star wars movies all day, harry potter occasionally and browsing the web for anything and everything ghostbusters related. That was it.
To see the parkland school shooting kids online posting takes me back. I mean I don't feel dramatically different than I was back in high school, but to actually be among high school teens again and experiencing their life, does take me back to that. Which was a unique if awkward experience for me I'd prefer not to revisit. I enjoy making money and just living my life free. Much better...
Plus there's gorgeous women everywhere to potentially get with, why the flying crap would I want to go back to being a weedy little high schooler again struggling with my libido?
Just some advice to them. Don't make the internet your life like I did. I will be perfectly open and honest about it. The internet broke me when I was a kid. I never conceived of being traumatized by it, but it happened. I had a nervous breakdown. I could think of nothing else but that day for years and it took a long time for it to heal, I can only guess because of my youth and just lack of understanding of the adult world... I was broken for a very long time. Luckily I had star wars, had movies to help me get through it... but yeah, I will be honest. It tore me up back then what happened and my spirit was broken for a long time.
But they're strong people, gonna be stronger when they get older, I'm sure.
It's about to go down now... and I'm trepidatious about it... Going to begin editing all the middle stuff of the film. 6 sequences still need to be completed. I'm eager to begin. I feel good about how it's going to work and feel when done, so awesome and I don't know why I'm so anxious. This is not the hard core editing I've been doing for months now, it's just the much easier middle section that should be nothing... don't know why I'm jittery about it.
Only one thing to do now and just do it...

Gonna be a Ghostbuster
Life goals isn't it, what the cool kids are saying on twitter.
A few words about twitter, wow what an addictive son of a bitch thing. Yunno I'm from a time when there was no twitter, but damn why didn't something like twitter exist back in the ancient early 2000s?
Woulda made dial up worth it. No message board drama for me. People actually trying to have fun interactions... brief nonsense of the day or fun tweets. It would have been perfect back in those days. I don't see the point of it now. Every website is twitter, the net being so fast now, no need for brief quickie posts to read or RSS feeds, or usenet posts, or if you want to get old school irc chats. (i used to frequent then became moderator of the real ghostbusters cartoon irc channel.) We all can interact instantly now. so what's the point of a service dedicated to that. It's AOL all over again. Twitter is the mcdonalds of the internet universe.
Well I had some money left over from my app gig thing so I did what I've been wanting to do for a decade and a half. I now own a ghostbusters proton pack.
The child in me is going insane over this. Hell, I'm going insane over this.
Ghostbusters 2 was my first movie as a toddler. My father, one of the few things I'll ever remember him fondly for, took me to go see it. Blew my brain out of my skull.
I'm debating whether to mod the pack and turn it into a more screen accurate version or just never open it.
Listen. I've been studying how to build a proton pack since I was 14. It's been 17 damn years of never getting around to it. I estimated it'd cost 200 dollars once I bought all the materials and then got to work. It wouldn't just be a proton pack, it'd be like a back pack to hold stuff in or a water gun, I don't know, was thinking of how I could make it useful and not just a replica...
Well, I'm smiling ear to ear. It's over. I've finally got one...
Nobody told me they went back on sale at spirit.com... went there recently to just take a peek at the page where they're being sold and was like, wtf.... I can buy it now?
76 bucks. To mod it into a proper replica going to cost an additional 60+ dollars. If I mod it, it'll be complicated and I might screw it up but I do want to make it look right.... but yunno, it's more about the principle of it. I think the fact that I have what I've dreamed of alone is enough. I don't fret over details on my toys anymore. Got bigger concerns... Toys won't pay rent or do anything useful really, just be something cool to look at for a while...
Well it's on its way. Once it gets here, gonna get a few pics up etc.

The long road ahead
Principle photography has been completed for a while now. I will not be shooting a second more of this movie no matter how much I itch to do it. I'm going to just edit and use what I have from here forward.
I just feel so happy right now. It works, the whole ending bit works, it's over. I worked very very hard and I have a good ending to the movie ready to go, some fine tuning all that's necessary and of course finish the post effects stuff.
It's a huge relief but I'm not out of the butt yet on this one... Lots more to do and an un forseen problem has arisen.
No hard drive space.
I edit like this... I don't want any footage coming from the USB externals so I copy everything I need to my three main system drives and go from there with that stuff..
Didn't know I'd max out space on the drives like I did, they have no space left and yunno, still got lots of editing to do...
I do have 50gigs left on my main system drive so I'll see if I can mange to cobble the rest of the film together from this and hope it's not going to die from the stress of it all.
Boy this thing is a wopper, I'm going to stick to short films in the future. I have ideas for little movies, but I'm honestly never going to make them this big or crazy. I just never did this kind of epic scale film making so I said, go for it... Yeah now I'm kicking myself....
Honesst to God, this would be done if I didn't want it so big, my bad.
But at least I'm getting closer to it being over. Yeah, it's full of cool bits and tricks I invented for doing movies like this. Hell, considering how good the finale came out, I do indeed have sorta an idea to go big and screen it in theaters, it'd actually be a fun little thing to watch. I don't know. I'd be one of the few people to tackle static shock anyway...
Thinking about doing a Sliders thing.. all these damn awful movies and tv shows being made, but oh end an actual decent 90s show properly with a quality conclusion? Never, more Full House and Roseanne for your ass though...
Well damn, just had to blog out a bit after sitting here doing some fx work and editing to kinda get the final battle to flow nicer. I'm getting to that point as an editor where you get sick of tweaking the footage and just want to not give a shit right now.. so yeah, but I'll get back to work and try to slam out the whole mid section of the film together sloppily within about a week. Then it's just plug in all the fx work, and it's over... fuck it's over...

Tripping
Thinking about all the sudden waves of stuff going on... I've lived and seen too much war and death, got to say. You kinda get sick of that, if that's all your life is. I feel for these guys wanting safer schools, but I'm not oblivious to the fact that the world seems to only care if it happens to them. Did anyone care when or does care now about what happens all over the world, the innocent people dying every day?
You know what Dump thinks about this shooting, "oh boy, this is making me look bad." That's what he thinks. If you think he gives two scoops of shit about the making kids safer, ha ha ha ha ha ha... does no one remember he was gung ho about killing tons of kids by taking their health care away. Fools have no idea what kind of evil they're dealing with... none.
One thing concerns these politicians, money. Period. They're not going to budge. Once you get old like me, you start to see how the world works. If there's a mountain of cash to be made doing X, it will by any means necessary be done. Period, full stop, end of story. They just don't care, these money hungry corporate weasels out there... good luck making them see beyond the gold at the end of the rainbow. Good luck...
I was just thinking about it. Yeah if this shooter was black or anything else besides being some sort of seriously awkward commentary on the president's fanbase and their lack of mental stability... oh you'd see some actual progress, calls for all kinds of new restrictions. It truly is astonishing, just because the dude is white or whatever, light enough, he gets a break. Oh you can't beat that whiteness, oh you can't beat that shit. Go shoot up a bunch of people, it's alright, just a little off or something.
I don't know. I don't hang out with white people, I don't know what's going on in their universe so I can't say I have a clue what would cause a white person to trip out and shoot up a school. If you don't like being white so much turn black, come on over... see how it is....
Trust me, you'll want to go right back to where you were and enjoy having unlimited POWAAH.
Damn though... it's just such a joke what's going on. And hard for me to not laugh about how if this was a daca kid, you'd see calls for them all be shipped home. In fact, that was the initial reaction. Oh he's hispanic, probably a daca kid. Damn, people are idiots.
Anyway, my point of this post was to kinda talk about my project. I have been working on some trippy visuals for the final battle. Insane stuff I just decided to do because I was working on some fx and decided to see what would happen if I duplicated and cloned myself in the program. Turned out to look pretty decent so what I'll be implementing is just that, a clone and weird willy wonka aspects. Trippy in an appropriate manner of course.
Gonna try to not get too embroiled in politics as I gear myself up for the marathon that will be a few days of editing the rest of the movie.. jesus save me please...

made progress
There's an art to procrastination I guess. I was just sick of being so lazy about it I dogged down and just hard core edited the final fight as best I could. It's now up and that's it. That's how I'm going to end the fight. It needs to be polished and I'm definitely going to need to finish the fx, but it amazingly works... I dig what it is, how it flows, and I was there, I endured the bitter cold temps to forge the footage before its needing to be edited. Now of course I have more time to actually do the project since the release has been moved to solo... so yeah I'd like to reshoot chunks of it and now with my distilled water diet, I actually could get ripped and shredded as hell for it and shoot it with the proper physique I wanted...
But I'm not.
All that work I put in to attempt to meet my christmas deadline it's just a lot of very tough gorilla film making I'm not wanting to just throw away and so I'll be keeping it....
I'll use fog and gas effects to hide my fat anyway...
Can't believe it's taken me 5 years to get here but I'm finally at the actual end of this project. 5 years, jesus, I'm insane.
But that's life. Go after what you love and don't let nothing impede that.
What next, gonna make some notes on changes I need to do, then focus on finding the proper bits I need to finish this thing once and for all. Render a giant work assembly cut of the film. This will be a film, actual lengthy film, not some little quickie fan film or something... It's gonna be big bloated and insane... like me... heh.
Just exhausted as shit. Reading too much politics on the net. Too much garbage to try to make sense of. Ignore the internet, just ignore it.
Gonna take a good long break, then get back into it...

Finally watched Mad Max Fury Road
I neglected to view it for whatever reason. It was hyped to the moon as this masterpiece of film making, I didn't want to just watch it passively wanted to really get deep with it. It's not that complex a film now that I've actually taken the time to watch it. Wow Zoe Kravitz is in it. She's my like mirror image. Always love seeing her. She was cute in this and never more attractive, great work by her. Highly underrated actress. I mean it's tough to find that kind of actress I'm sure, looks and skill. Why she's not blowing up and becoming a huge star is beyond me...
Little bit of history, I grew up on Mad Max and was all about the series so yeah my loyalty to Mel is one of the primary reasons I was kinda put off this movie and didn't want to really see it, but you got to take this acid trip of a film at least once in your life if you are a film enthusiast. It's very engrossing yet visually and artistically rich, just full of vision and passion for film making which is what George Miller's all about. No hollywood execs in a board room dictating shit, this is purely one man's insane vision as is Miller's MO and take it or leave it...
His style isn't for everybody but I'm an extreme artist myself and love stuff like this, so I was all aboard the crazy train as the story went and just whipped us as an audience all over crazy town. Jesus Christ, I'm still kinda dazzled by the insanity I witnessed in this film.
Its only real flaws is the story is paper thin, a bit rushed, since this characters are cardboard cut outs you don't really know why they do anything or whatever they just do it and, I mean I'm used to this, I sat through thunderdome and that movie had the same stuff so I was like I knew it was coming. His characters are cartoonish in prettymuch all his mad max films. To expect him to make them deeper is on you...
It's got this waterworld plot. Trying to find the promised land thing. I guess that's what the movie is a sort of homage to water world just as water world kinda ripped off Mad Max. Don't know if that was the intent, but it's clear to me how similar this movie tries to be to water world only actually done by the guy who invented everything water world stole from in the first place.
It's a movie that you should give a watch. It sorely misses Mel. You can imagine Mel playing Max in it, His characterization is spot on exactly the same old version Mel played. Hardy sucks imo. He's just a pale half assed imitation of Mel and I rejected his performance in my head. I wasn't buying him as Max, gibson is the only Max, forever.
But it's a good mad max fan film at its heart and a damn fun ride and return to that universe.. check it out...

Starring into the abyss...
Needless to say I've become distracted from my project as I'm addicted to news about the latest school shooting.
One wonders what these guys are doing in jail on a daily basis. Do they get video game systems like in some jails. Are they given books, tv to watch, good food? Lord knows they can't have internet but in some jails you get limited net time...
I've kinda become obsessed with the prison system from watching Lockdown a lot during my Fletc training for TSA.
Through my research on jail, yeah it's hell, depending on the ones you go to and if you're convicted of certain crimes.
Sad to say but I've mostly been educating myself on jail just in case I end up in the wrong place at the wrong time and get sent to one for being the black dude in the area.
Mandatory black education, what to do if you ever get sent to prison for being the black guy around.
Apparently the asshole's going to avoid the death penalty... so after all his badassery and filling innocent people with bullets, he's too scared to die? Shitting me? I wouldn't be surprised if he's going to get sniped out by some of the people he pissed off. Hopefully the cops make a mistake and sit him next to a window and then oops aw poor guy. this is sad. I mean, what he did was so bad.... he deserves to be killed. I can't even imagine being able to live your life normally ever again after going through that shit, and knowing the person who did it is still in this world, still able to enjoy his life somewhat....
This whole thing is such utter bullshit...
It's depressing and I don't feel like working on my project knowing such a world as this is the way it is and nothing's being done to make it better. We gotta give kids a good childhood, it's priority number 1. This at least should not be up for debate. Whatever it takes, give them a good childhood.
Well I don't know what to say or do about this... I don't know if I can muster the strength to work on my movie feeling so bad about living life and so like depressed and seeing people hurting... it's hard to feel motivated... I know right, having empathy, wanting people to be cool...
I don't know. I'm starring into the unknown. Looking at my project. Looking at this wacky president making light of the deaths of kids, and I'm not feeling good about any of it.
Stay tuned. I'll be holding on, putting faith in the future. What little there be left. And once we can see the sun rise again and look beyond the darkness, we'll be there at last, at the end of all these troubles.

the gun debate
It's swirling now in the wake of this tragic event. Sigh, I think everyone wishes none of this happened and life didn't have people like this jackass in it. But sadly no, life does. It did happen. The world is full of assholes and around we go on the merry go round of life.
As usual exactly what the guy wanted is happening. The press is sucking his dick publicly giving him fame, glory making him more famous than the victims.
It's a double blow to the families. Not only has their family been destroyed. Now they can't wake up in the morning without hearing about the shooter and his instagram posts.
Because it's so effective and all it takes is this kind of thing to become somebody infamous over night, guess what, this will happen again as more butthurt closet homo kkk guys or whatever go on rampages and blast up places cuz they're gay and don't want to admit it or whatever is going on.
Is banning or making the AR 15 tougher to get a good solution?
Bluntly not really... I doubt in this current political situation we'll see any type of restrictions or tougher checks on getting the gun. It's all too clear the people who want the gun voted the right people into government to keep the gun free to get for them. So no... It's not going to change.
And I postulated recently that it wouldn't matter. This guy was so pissed at someone at that school, he'd have found a way to commit murder regardless, bomb, knife, something. He was that outraged.
Do I hate the shooter?
Not fully. I don't think he's a psycho. I've been through the school system. It's insane. You might have all the best intentions in the world of being a good student, athlete, whatever. The other kids (this goes double for black schools) will tear you apart on a daily basis and try to push you towards exploding in rage.
This happens every day. Hell, while shooting static shock, I wanted to just whip out a gun and kill all the highschool innocent angels screaming and acting stupid after school, if they decided to fuck with me it'd be my only option wouldn't it.
People can say alot of things, but the real solution is get rid of high school. Lower the age to get a job and let teens work for a living and get acclimated to the work world instead of wasting their time with school work they'll immediately forget and of course live in a pit full of bullies for 4 straight years of their lives...
Might be the best bet to avoid all the rage that will eventually happen and make these guys want to bust a cap.
Thing is, yeah the jobs I've been working suck and they're just awful, but I like money. Rather have a tough day and get paid for it, than have a tough day and get nothing...
Real talk. The guy would have found a way to cause mass casualties. There are methods if you know your chemistry. Know how so create deadly poison gas or something. Or just set fire to the school in a way that would cause the most death. There are ways to do this stuff without a rapid fire weapon. And he intended to do it.
I don't know man. Nothing I say will change shit, I know. Just my idea. Get rid of school, it's just a shooting gallery like I've been saying forever.
As usual exactly what the guy wanted is happening. The press is sucking his dick publicly giving him fame, glory making him more famous than the victims.
It's a double blow to the families. Not only has their family been destroyed. Now they can't wake up in the morning without hearing about the shooter and his instagram posts.
Because it's so effective and all it takes is this kind of thing to become somebody infamous over night, guess what, this will happen again as more butthurt closet homo kkk guys or whatever go on rampages and blast up places cuz they're gay and don't want to admit it or whatever is going on.
Is banning or making the AR 15 tougher to get a good solution?
Bluntly not really... I doubt in this current political situation we'll see any type of restrictions or tougher checks on getting the gun. It's all too clear the people who want the gun voted the right people into government to keep the gun free to get for them. So no... It's not going to change.

school still exists?
Glad I'm out of that hell hole, to be honest. I'd rather do my life my way, thanks, not be a slave.
Cherish Freedom people. Cherish it.
Wanted to post briefly on this subject. I'm not a fan of school and I don't care if I'm homeless and on the street you won't find me going to that obsolete shit hole to get juggled around and have my money sucked away and get nothing substantial from it, for the rest of my days.
If you are contemplating dropping out of high school. Do it. Don't worry about life afterwards at all. Two hands, decent shape, you'll make bread.
If you're white, of course you'll be fine in this world...
What we're going to get now is a bunch of money hungry couch reporters on youtube covering the story for clickbait money. Capitalizing on the current hot topic of the day. Vultures, sad, pack of vultures. This is the internet now, just assholes with webcams looking for that quick buck.
Young people are fuckin dead for nothing man. High school ain't shit. Pound as much ass as you can during those years, fuck the school work, and find a job. How hard is that?
Some crazy shit man. You'd think these guys wouldn't do this shit during the more voyersitic age we're in, then again, because these guys know they'll be famous after shooting up a school, that's what it ends up being about, getting on the news...
First of all, let this punk have a private session with the parents of the people he killed. Then kill him.
And they're worried about DACA kids huh... this is just nuts.

goddamnit black people
Guess I'll be the only black guy to say it. Obama you dumb fuck.
Outrageous doesn't begin to cover it. You just gave Trump and his goons fuel to burn their goddamn torches for months with this one. Handed them a golden goddamn ticket to wonka land and all the goodies that goes with it.
It's just not gonna happen. You know why racism isn't going to just fuckin die? Cuz Black people are too damn dumb to let it die. It's over. White people aren't serious racists anymore. The modern world won't let that fly. Slavery won't be brought back. Yeah the KKK can push their agenda subversively but not out front and in your face like in the past.
But the bullshit is when black people screw opportunity up for themselves like this. Why the FUCK did he choose that artist? Is he that stupid?
He has to explain it. It can't be swept under the rug.
Those depictions of beheading white women are inexcusable and clearly reverse racism. He can't just sweep this shit away. It's going to be plastered all over the walls at kkk rallies.
You fucked up. Own it.
Shred this assholes portrait and find another artist. This is just unbelievable.

So cold
weather is abysmal up here in the bronx, can't imagine what it must be like up in canada right now. After experiencing winter season in canada, it's like you don't fear winter down here. Up there it's a horror show. they got it down to an exact science dealing with winter though. Canadians don't play. It's like snow comes, snow goes up there...
Yeah, I lived in niagara falls, but if you live in niagara falls, you live in canada. It's canada. Everything up there is canadian.
Been binge watching sliders like a psycho. Jerry freakin O Connel has been liking my tweets regarding sliders. Is he planning to do a fan film with the original cast back together to finish things off... Pfft. Hell no. Too much time has passed. Honestly I think if we had this level of interactivity in the early 2000s a crowd funded sliders movie would have happened like a flash.
Good guy, must have put himself through hell to make the show. No doubt to me at all that he's sorry he couldn't finish it, but what's said with the show is said and it's a powerful show. Season 4 is a mess, but the few episodes that are great are amazing and truly pure sliders even without Sabrina.
It's my home really. I was just like Quinn, dorky nerd boy fiddling with science projects and dreaming of time machines and such. So when I watched sliders, god I feel like I'm transported back to my 11 year old self and I'm not here this loser with now job, but a hell of a lot of muscle and sex appeal.
Reboot or continuation would be nice now that I think about it. I'd be down for that. A full on Sliders reboot. Have the first episode be about Rembrant passing the tech to a new group and we go from there. But eh, kinda will be like that next generation of ghost writer. Remember how ass that ended up? One thing I could never stand back as a kid was when they nxt gnd every show. and the new version was just a shadow of the former. But I can see sliders working again if they stick to good characters that feel real and have some good stories.
Like word is out on facebook anyway that seinfeld will be making a come back. One part of me wants that because there's so much fresh material for a new seinfeld show. Jesus they'd have a buffet every single day to make episodes from in today's world vs the more isolated age of the 90s. They'd have a lot to say about today's paranoid culture e-mobs, tweet nukes. But when you get down to it, Curb your enthusiasm IS seinfeld done in today's fear mongering world, so what am I talking about...
Well I'm beat. Another day, little bit of editing done, inching crawling slowly moving towards finishing this beast of a project. I can't imagine doing a full feature film and what a horror show those are for editors. Damn I'm getting murdered by this, what must those bastards go through. Not getting paid enough I'm sure....

Well time to edit
M. Night inspired me to get back to my film. He's doing glass' editing. Jesus 8 hours a day editing? That's just wow. dude must have a fridge full of red bull or something....
How does the editing process work. Not easy. I mean it all kinda sucks and is a pain to do. But editing is where the film either works and fits and has good flow or it's all for nothing.
You got to shoot for the edit sometimes too. For me, if I didn't shoot my stuff with editing in mind. I rely on fades or any kind of close up to then zoom out into a different shot. Or simply hard cut, which to me is the worst style of editing, just hard cutting. It's so inorganic and blatantly done because of a lack of foresight into how things would be edited.
Ultimately what matters if you don't have clever editing in mind, is the story. Just stick to the story and tell the story. Fancy editing has to service the story so that's paramount in the end.
And sometimes it's luck. I've had instances where I never intended things in footage to sync or work according to the musical choices but they just did once I watched a rough cut of the footage and music together so I kept it. You'd think watching my stuff that I pre-conceived edits, but not so. I just did it by accident. Only stuff I ever pre-conceive is when the camera movement syncs to the music, I do that purposely, or when wide shots sync to high notes in the music. I use the visuals to sync to the dynamics within the music. Little stuff where the notes are in perfect sync with the visuals, never pre-conceived and could never be, just luck.
It's just that I grew up on MTV and the thing that kinda pissed me off about it back in the day was the older music videos which didn't sync to the music just had the singer singing the song in some random un-coordinated unrelated setting. It made no sense to me. So my goal when I began doing music videos back in the old old old days. Tech TV dial up days brother... Was to sync EVERYTHING to the music. Nothing would go unsynced in my stuff. It just worked better to me.
Not that I started this, but yeah more music vids online were like that that I came across. Nothing was just random footage tossed onto music lazily. Care was taken to attempt a marriage and dance to the music.
Watch old music videos. Strange isn't it. They just put the music on, had a bunch of random crap happening and nothing synced to the actual music. It was so awkward. We don't do that mess anymore. Modern stuff is miles better.
Only time when music shouldn't sync is when it's stylistically allowed, otherwise what a joke to edit a music video out of sync with the music...
So what the fudge am I going to be doing and will I finish this damn project? Right now I'm beating myself up about whether to shoot an after credits bit I want to do because I've grown my beard out for the first time in my life and it'd be now or never to get it.... I say as I've always said, better to over-shoot than have under shot this thing. Might as well capture it, then decide whether to use it or not later. It just defeats the purpose of the actual ending of the film if the true ending is after the credits....
Get busy livin or get busy dying, eh... I think I will shoot it, but won't use it. That'll be how I approach it.
What will I do at this point. Footage will now just basically be tossed into the time line that I want to use for the finale, then we cut the whole final bits and I'm gonna take a vacation maybe a week before I get to the mid section of the film. One solid month of fx work and it should all be ready to release in time for SOLO.
Boy, I mean I'm gonna go see the movie. Lots of grown men and women crying about it online. I don't want to be that pathetic. I'm already waaaaaay past that point. I'll see it, give my honest views on it, move on. It's a movie they wanted to be one way, got tossed around, changed, whatever, typical hollywood. Happens all the time. Why is anyone surprised?

what a day
I assumed the ending would be an easier thing to edit since I know how it's supposed to work and I actually organized the files this time and there's a lot less fighting and interaction. It's straight story board from here on out.
Of course being here in my room, smelling the foul stench that I wish would cease and will not go into where it's coming from for it's too much to think about. I knew this person was crazy, had no idea he'd evolve into an even crazier more psychotic person with age. That came as a surprise. People all my life wondered why I was a messed up kind of person... it was clear to me back then, even clearer to me now. I certainly envy anyone who has a normal life, always have. Don't take the fact that you can live your life not smelling someone's disgusting ass all day for granted at all..
My task to edit is infinitely more encumbered because I exist as his only social outlet this pure evil shit stain of a person. He comes to me for his social stimulation and has no where else to go, has nobody. No one sane will tolerate his stench. I'm living in a goddamn cartoon, living with the real life pit stain from pete and pete. And I have no choice. Either this or die in the street.
On top of that, my tooth has completely decayed and broken off. It's gone only the stump remains hanging on for dear life apparently. I hope I can crown it and not get a root canal and an implant, I can only hope...
Just as I heard the tooth pop once more and crack as I was eating some cereal, so too have my hopes, yunno. It broke my spirit in half when I felt my tooth give way and fall out completely shattering my last hopes of salvaging it once I was able to get to the dentist.
The thing was, I knew it would go eventually. It was always getting food stuck in it. No way I could get it all out with brushing. Eventually the rotting food would break it down further. And it did, it was just a waiting game...
So now I have to edit my film in time for Solo with all this drama and burdens stacked on top of my shoulders.
What do I think now as I sit here....
....
It will be an odyssey. But I must endure. I believe in the film and think it's gonna be worth the pain and trouble. So yeah, press on...

Live Action Star Wars tv show happening
It will happen. Judging by the film's success this is inevitable. Sigh, sad to say I probably will definitely not be considered for Lando. Glover is getting high praise although I think once he speaks with his nerdy voice and basically kinda sucks people will see how wrong he was. Alden already is getting crapped on for his way off solo performance. It's like watching a star wars snl sketch trying to be passed off as a legit film. Little do people know that the original intention for hiring Alden and Glover was to make a light hearted star wars parody film. Now they're trying to pass them off as serious versions of the characters and it's coming off as contradictory.
Such a mess. And it's fun to see how people kinda are struggling with whether to care and go see a ron howard movie.
In my mind, yeah ron howard will have done something and contributed greatly to this, but I think Lawrence Kasdan is the real director, puppeteering howard here.... It just looks like a kasdan style to it more than Howard. Whatever Lord and Miller did to piss off Kasdan must have been serious shit.
I'm wondering if I should bother trying to audition for Lando if they do decide to make a star wars show and probably center it around young Lando a character we could definitely anchor a show around...
God, it'd be great.... I'd have a purpose to my existence and connection to star wars instead of being me, stuck watching some wacky dude playing Lando cuz he got bills to pay... It just feels wrong. And I'm so sore about it I don't even want to see the movie and yunno that hurts me because I respect Ron Howard and loved willow and apollo so much. Of course he'll do wonders with his masterful hands on this film. You'd be a fool not to give it a look see despite its difficulties getting made. Ron needs to get his own star wars movie from scratch that's for sure. He doesn't deserve sloppy seconds at all.
It's so strange how hard their trying to salvage the solo movie. Putting news bites out about John williams coming back to write music, ford himself helping alden and advising him. Ok that's fine but is the movie going to be good? John Williams scored each of the prequels and they're batshit insane movies. Sorry gotta give us something better than that. Ford has already made it clear he could care less about the movie, why's he being made out to be someone involved with it. We know the OT actors at least talked to the new actors briefly. Glover chatted with Billy Dee. Most likely Ford told alden a few things too. Glover will still fail and Alden is already pretty awful so his advice didn't help....
I kinda agree. We don't need a solo movie. A lando movie or a young obiwan movie would have been the better bet. Solo's story is not interesting really and even less so knowing how it ends. Why would we sit and watch him fight and claw tooth and nail through hell to accomplish things when we know his fate in the end. Just why?
If you want to point to the prequels. True we knew the fate of the characters but the joy of those films was seeing how things got the way they got later, and unfortunately it was a mess, but at the time we all wondered about how the jedi fell, what the clone wars were, and the biggest mystery of all how the hell Anakin got injured and why he fell from the jedi. In better hands he prequels would have been truly amazing and fun as we explored unanswered stuff.
Is there anything new this movie is going to have to say about Han? True we don't know how he met chewie and such, but who cares. I can't say I do anymore... What else? Nothing, is he some how related to Porkins? I'd love to know Lando's story that's for sure, but hell no they're not going to try to sell a black film to a white audience, just forget it...
Well I'm not going to turn it down if they want to do it. Goddamn, I'd love to play Lando and fullfill my destiny since I was a little kid playing with my luke skywalker toy in my bed room.
The reality is this. Listen. Do you care about Jyn Erso? Was her story all that? Did you leave Rogue One wanting to watch it a few more times at all? No? Didn't captivate you, didn't make you want to revisit it? Those characters just kinda bland hugh... nothing interesting or good really happen in the movie huh...
Welcome to SOLO. They're going to f u in the butt again....
Such a mess. And it's fun to see how people kinda are struggling with whether to care and go see a ron howard movie.

It's so strange how hard their trying to salvage the solo movie. Putting news bites out about John williams coming back to write music, ford himself helping alden and advising him. Ok that's fine but is the movie going to be good? John Williams scored each of the prequels and they're batshit insane movies. Sorry gotta give us something better than that. Ford has already made it clear he could care less about the movie, why's he being made out to be someone involved with it. We know the OT actors at least talked to the new actors briefly. Glover chatted with Billy Dee. Most likely Ford told alden a few things too. Glover will still fail and Alden is already pretty awful so his advice didn't help....
I kinda agree. We don't need a solo movie. A lando movie or a young obiwan movie would have been the better bet. Solo's story is not interesting really and even less so knowing how it ends. Why would we sit and watch him fight and claw tooth and nail through hell to accomplish things when we know his fate in the end. Just why?
If you want to point to the prequels. True we knew the fate of the characters but the joy of those films was seeing how things got the way they got later, and unfortunately it was a mess, but at the time we all wondered about how the jedi fell, what the clone wars were, and the biggest mystery of all how the hell Anakin got injured and why he fell from the jedi. In better hands he prequels would have been truly amazing and fun as we explored unanswered stuff.
Is there anything new this movie is going to have to say about Han? True we don't know how he met chewie and such, but who cares. I can't say I do anymore... What else? Nothing, is he some how related to Porkins? I'd love to know Lando's story that's for sure, but hell no they're not going to try to sell a black film to a white audience, just forget it...
Well I'm not going to turn it down if they want to do it. Goddamn, I'd love to play Lando and fullfill my destiny since I was a little kid playing with my luke skywalker toy in my bed room.
The reality is this. Listen. Do you care about Jyn Erso? Was her story all that? Did you leave Rogue One wanting to watch it a few more times at all? No? Didn't captivate you, didn't make you want to revisit it? Those characters just kinda bland hugh... nothing interesting or good really happen in the movie huh...
Welcome to SOLO. They're going to f u in the butt again....

Random thawtz
I'm wondering if I should backup my blog, screen shot the whole damn thing and keep my blog forever since I know that the web is finite. I've been using the web for over a decade. So sad when a site just turns the lights off and kills your entire little collection of vids mercilessly. I was an idiot to think that websites would last forever. Alas. I uploaded and since back in those days space was precious, deleted the vid to make room for more porn or something. Why not. What could happen now that it's on the internet? Ha ha, zip zap gone. F U guy...
You realize how the net works real quick when you get shitted on by it, indeed.
Been watching sliders like a maniac and using it I guess to help me not feel so damn angsty about finishing the static shock project.
Thoroughly enjoyable show though. I never knew it was so well written. I watched it for years, but was more about cartoons, the emerging anime shows, sat morning stuff. But yeah, I watched it back when it aired, saw the whole first season, somewhere around 3 was when I kinda flaked out on it but I was there all the way up to where Jerry's brother Charlie was on the show, that's how long I was loyal to sliders and was still watching. But by that time sliders was competing with cable shows and in my mind the more action oriented tv shows of the time xena, hercules, so a cerebral sci fi show like sliders wasn't going to be able to last much longer in the coming storm of similar adventure shows.
Kinda strange fate the show ended up with. Starting the trend of action sci fi shows, then getting dominated by copy cats.
Little did I know of the behind the scenes drama that went on... I'm hesitant to actually want to watch the next seasons after reading about how mangled the show became because of the craziness that went on behind the scenes. And what does it matter, I didn't watch it back when it was airing, no point watching it now... It's like the wade character does return and I'm so in love with Sabrina's wade that I want to watch her brief return in season 5 but I NEVER knew how they decided to end her character. You have to understand I did not understand what happened to her, hell I thought she was just replaced by a new actress, oh it was confusing that's all. Anyway, there was arguments or something yadda yadda the actress quit the show and they shoe horned in that she was sent to a prison and later died. So yeah why would I after spending these last few days getting deep into her very well written character want to watch her end up like that. I don't want to see it. I want to keep the character clean in my head.
Oh my god, how Sliders concludes itself is such a mess. I forgot how traumatized I was by the collapse of the series as it came unraveled before my eyes a loyal viewer from the first episode.
It's full of easter eggs that's why I keep watching... There's references to the actor's previous stuff. Jerry O Connel's a veteran actor from childhood, he's insanely good in the show and I do intend to watch all of his episodes. Had no clue and was shocked to see Corey Feldman was in sliders. There's tons of stand by me easter eggs in the show. And it's just funny. It's awesome what 90s tv used to be all about, having fun. Not trying to be the next goddamn masterpiece. Such a lost art, fun relaxed tv shows that aren't trying to be all deep.
I was there man. 90s tv was just about having a cool show. Sucks to wake up today and see we've lost that attitude of chill out and have no worries for a while, damn man.... That's why I don't bother with today's shows. I don't. I just watch old 90s shows. Everything was done better then. Today can't compare at all. It just cheers me up to look back and be reminded life didn't always suck and feel like ass.
Gonna be getting into my project more seriously very soon. It's like, I'm just lazy to be honest... and it's freezing cold so that's a factor. I was trying to edit the thing today and was just over whelmed by the cold. Not easy...
Not going to be impossible it' s all about motivation to complete it. When it's done then what? I don't have a damn clue. I'm just going with the flow of life, all I've ever done. I eat. I shit. I sleep. I wake. And I be. I don't know why...
Gonna probably binge watch star trek. I never cared for TNG but after seeing how much Orville apes it, might actually be worth it to watch. I did decide to watch a few of its top episodes one night and was blown away by them, so yeah it wouldn't be so bad.... But yeah what can I compare sliders to. Beast Wars. Beast fuckin wars man... I warn anyone planning to binge watch Beast Wars. OH my God does that show stumble and become shit the same way sliders does. So be warned... Never did I imagine that show would conclude the way it did. I was wracking my brain for those movies and tv shows that do this thing where they have the characters end up in a worse situation after seemingly been victorious. F'n beast wars did that shit, that's where I'm remembering it from. I mean it's a trope tv shows and movies sometimes use. But in Beast Wars' case it was egregious and horrible what that show did. And it didn't have to. It was a creative 'dumb' decision to steer the series the way they did. And it's soul crushing to see where the characters ultimately conclude after all the tough battles fought. It breaks your heart so bad.
So yeah, when I see people talking about how the new star wars kinda tarnishes the characters and makes all their battles pointless if they didn't actually win. Yeah I know... seen that before... it sucked ass back then too but it isn't unique to the new trilogy...
Usually tv does this stuff. Due to lower budgets, or changing networks or the show just running forever and them deciding to do things differently for a change.
Like I'll never watch Lost ever again. And it's hard for me to say that, but knowing it doesn't answer much and ends in such a flakey hokey half assed way does make me not want to bother with it.
Thundercats kinda did this and I don't think they ever finished that show. The first show I remember ending poorly as a kid was Gargoyles. They did their thing with the first few seasons, then they changed the show up once the budget was lowered on it and it was a shell of its former self and sucked. True when Beast Wars was changed over to Beast Machines I think they had less money or something and that was why the show opted for a more personal dramatic approach. Just ugh, they took a shit on everything that came before it just to make it smaller and more artsy. Oh shit.
I'll never get over Beast Machines. I'll never get over that shit bro... what it did to my young brain.
Well I'm done talkin, just bored and rambling per usual...

Comments on Youtube's Decline
Wow, kinda pissed yunno. I watched a video about how youtube works and how people just basically are making money sitting and ripping off other people's videos and reacting to them live in a recorded video and it some how earns them hundreds of dollars for doing nothing.
I work very bone crushingly hard on my remix of the solo trailer and get a couple of peeks from here and there.
It sucks not gonna lie, dog. It sucks that all it takes to earn your rent money is put up a lazy sit and talk vid on the latest news story and you just earned your f'n monthly rent for f's sake. I'm just blown away.
I mean I can tell you, I was there when youtube started. it was just another stupid video service. It had porn on it. Just a place to show off your stupid crap. Now it's become so gentrified and corporatized, the fuck happened?
I guess I should have seen it coming when I uploaded my cell phone recorded video of the G4 ghostbusters game preview. My entire page was wiped clean after G4 threatened to sue youtube for copyright infringement. No warning, whole page of innocent silly music videos I made completely deleted. And the best thing, I deleted those vids so of course their only existence was on youtube. So now they screwed me forever. You don't know the hell I've seen with that bull crap channel. Yeah, it's been no fun seeing youtube become a corporate brown nosing bought out shell of its former self..
Look at the Logan Paul shit. So what, that's the internet. We've all practically gone to a website and watched some FOUL terrible shit back in the old days, yet everyone stands on a high horse today and condemns the douche bag for doing what has always been done online. But now in the wimpy crybaby era we're in, better bitch and moan about the internet being well... the internet....? By the way, I'm watching a girl eat dicks with every hole she has as I type this.
You live and learn indeed. Had no idea people existed who lived in a fantasy world where everyone has to conform to their ideals of life. I did not... bro... I did not... But that stuff is real. You gotta love it. I go from coming home after school, booting up my computer and just escaping life in the web, to having the web basically be real life, be full of politics, crazy prudes looking to censor everything they don't like. I can't believe it. Who the hell protected me when I was browsing forums back in the day? I got my ass whooped all day back then, THAT WAS THE INTERNET. Sad to say, but it's not your house. You can't expect peace and decency here.
So blown away to see people whining today about something we all kinda knew was a free for all back when we all used it in the past.
It's been a bad thing, the whole like I said territorilizing of the internet. The internet is not a country, has no rules, has no laws, it's f'n open free uncontrolled pandemonium. It's always been that, I was never oblivious to that fact. I accepted it and just used the web to get what I wanted out of it and moved on. Seeing fat nerds living their whole life online is utterly depressing shit. These sad bastards. Don't have lives, don't get out, just hang out at a computer all day and try to weasel money out of clickbait vids. Oh my God.
There was a time yunno. Back in the old tech tv days when we all wondered about it. What would it be like to have a faster internet, ability to be your own film maker and release your own movies online and do cool things visually that tv and movies could never hope to do.
We got the obvious. We fuckin got the obvious. Nobody's making movies, putting effort into thoughtful well made productions. It's just Idiocracy. It's just ASS.
Sad shit bro. The guys putting effort into their shit are getting less views than the jackasses making dumb meaningless nonsense.
I'm blown off my chair, man, it's horrible. I want to go back so badly. But I know I can't. I'm stuck here in this dismal stupid future.

Han Solo Trailer Remix
Worked all night on this thing, came out very very cool. I'm not one of those youtubers that makes a dumbass reaction video and gets paid a couple hundred dollars when it gets thousands of views sadly. When I do hard edits on my projects I get nothing just like I've always gotten and don't even know where to begin monetizing my vids so I can make money but maybe some day...
If you still linger at my blog and haven't abandoned me do me a favor, just share this vid and get it some exposure, it's a labor of love and I'd like people to watch it and get a kick out of it, thanks.
Here she blows...

Full trailer thawtz...
An improvement...
This is totally different footage from the teaser too so that's a wtf. There's no doubt they'll make their money back for having to go through and reshoot the movie. It's going to be ok. Ron Howard will never make an unwatchable film. He's not Lucas, he knows how to make a movie work.
Loads of people who want to side with the movie now are busting a nut over it. It's not going to be a GREAT movie. Not possible considering all the drama that went into making it. It'll be ok. It's all Ron Howard has ever done as a film maker make ok stuff.
I wish I could make people realize this but go ahead, blow your expectations up and then go watch a ron howard flick and get them shot back to reality, it's on you.
A few points. Alden's obviously god awful as Han. No wonder they were hiding him from us all this time. I can only imagine how bad Lando's gonna be if they let Alden suck as han so badly... ugh.
Star Wars doesn't have narrations so why is that a thing in the trailer? I don't have a huge issue with it but it's again not good acting or even sounding like han and not star wars.
That's my last point. It's not feeling like star wars. Maybe it was never intended to be, don't know. It looks exactly like what it is, a massively expensive fan film.
Temper your expectations. rogue one's teasers and trailers were excellent, the film was a forgettable star wars fan film you'd find on youtube any day.
Just sayin.
Edit: In addition...
Got to say this movie will probably not do gangbusters for a few reasons. First of all being the wonky performance by Alden. He looks and oozes nervousness. He was not ready to do the film and it shows.
We know his story. This is no longer the Phil and Miller semi-starwars parody space balls movie that they were making, it's going to be more akin to rogue one and try to be in line with the main movies so you can watch it in continuity. It would have been better to do it Lord and Miller's way since why would we want to watch the story of a character who gets an anti climactic death? sure this movie can be as fun as it wants to be and have as much story and drama as it wants to have but we know how it ends so we will just be sitting there watching things happen with no suspense. We know han will live, lando will live. The only wild cards are the new characters but who gives a damn about them at all? The only way to make a movie like this is to make it fun and comedic. Lord and Miller were right in their approach.
The fear of stepping outside of the safety zone with this movie is what will ultimately be its undoing.
It certainly looks like a hell of a battle star galactica episode. I should know, I watched classic battle star galactica. Go watch the show's intro. It's exactly like that trailer prettymuch. Star Wars is tough to get right because well, it's about imagination going wild. It's about going to places far far away in another galaxy. That trailer looks like, OH it's a movie set. Oh they're on location shooting in a desert for the billionth time in a star wars film. Jesus christ, do something, NEW.
I fear that this was all a mistake. Taking it away from Lucas, say whatever you want but Lucas got that star wars is about venturing into the unknown. You never know what you're going to get with star wars because it's about not knowing... that's the point. To make a star wars film where you can basically know what to expect is so wrong.
I'll end this by saying, have fun. Take the kids. It will be about as good as what Ron Howard can give and enjoy it. I may rant, but I enjoyed TPM all day back when I was 12. I mean, that's part of the life of fanboys, just having fun with this stuff. I have my gripes with the movie but I don't want to step on anyone elses fun to be honest. That's all I'll say about it, I guess... could have been a real treat if Lord and Miller got their way... now it'll be, what it is...

Han Solo trailer about to drop
I'll be doing a vid on my youtube page discussing it and I'm going to be making a remix of the trailer putting myself in as Lando as it should be. If there's more Lando in the full trailer, which I doubt, I think he's going to be nothing more than a blink and you miss it cameo myself. well I'm going to replace glover with me. In the future I might be able to actually full green screen myself into his role completely and do a massive fan edit that I'll get out there. Yes I'm dead serious.
What do I think as a long time star wars fan... So dull. So mind numbingly dull a teaser.
No variety to the planets.
Glover looks like he's waiting for his check to clear, why does lando have that hair cut and full beard. It's just a big FU to the character, they could not care less about making him look like a young lando, he's just awkward looking Donald Glover. You know, there's actual manips of glover with the permed hair of lando that actually kinda look close to Billy Dee. But apparently screw that mess, just toss glover in the movie as is. I mean wow, poor Ron. He had to have glover look the way he looked in Lord and Miller's footage and was stuck with it. He got screwed.
It's going to be an ok movie. nothing special. Watch it, munch your popcorn, move on to other things.... I guess that's fine.
Could have been a freakin masterpiece but obviously they were not aiming for that. Nothing about that teaser screams that they were aiming for more than 'eh'
nothing...

April O Neil is blackity Black darkness now...
I guess it's a bit of a play on how baxter was turned white in the cartoon or something. A lot of things in the old school tmnt toon were very way off from the comic so that was the least of its problems.
How does my black ass feel about April being turned black in the new show?
Honestly I love white women and wouldn't mind seeing white april continue to be white. It makes the juxtaposition of the lives between her and the turtles have more of a contrast. She's a normal white person, they're freaky mutant turtles. Their friendship has more power because they're so different. It adds to april's character and makes her seem more loving and tougher than typical white girls afraid of everything in the world that's different from them.
So yeah the change to a black girl if they comment on how her being black puts her on the outskirts of society similar to the turtles (which they won't) changes that aspect of her character and I don't like it.
Now it's going to be, oh this black girl identifies with being treated as a lesser being alongside her new turtle friends... I don't know, never saw April that way.
Like in the first movie when she's having to attempt to hide the turtles in her house... not the best example, but what I'm saying is that because she's so white and charming, she was able to get her boss not to look further into his suspicions of the turtles being in the apartment. As for the cartoon, true the thing about the cartoon was that at times they didn't know what the hell to do with april and she turned out to be a non-involved character for most of the series. Like I don't even remember if she was in most of TMNT 2k3 beyond the first few seasons. Once the series went into outer space and all the wacky doodle shit it did, I think they had her not even be in episodes. So I can see why they made the change. Most likely she's going to be similarly there just for tradition sake but not be involved hands on with the main story lines.
Like there was no april in Next Mutation when you get down to how useless she is.
Now what are they gonna do about april going back in time. Like if they wanted to do a story like TMNT 3 they're pretty screwed. I doubt a black person back in ancient japan would get very far...
So yeah there won't be time travel. It's a serious change that limits their story telling capability. I don't know if it was a wise one. Doesn't look like much of a serious show though... probably going to be even goofier than the nick tmnt show so I'll catch it from time to time but no, not going to follow it religiously.

OCD is over...
I found it. Yunno, I wish I didn't. I was just about to say to myself, it's over, move the fuck on idiot. And I was. On one hand I'm elated, I worked hard for a week at least scoured every video in my history to stumble upon it. On the other, this just makes the next time I OCD mean I'll have reason to do it again to get that deeply lost in it again. I've actually had bouts of OCD where I didn't find the shit and let it go and moved on, IT HURTS, for us with OCD it is not at all just a brush the dust off moment, it's like losing a limb. In that case I used it as a life lesson, you can't always win such and such. I was prepared to accept it, say yeah, life goes on without you and your drama, dumbass. Indeed it does. Planes fly, trains depart, people go, people come, business goes round and around. None of those things care about my personal hang ups.
I hope I'm stronger in the future that's all. I did it, I put the last piece of the puzzle into place and now I can move on confidently but still I feel stupid as shit for having gotten so dramatic about it and feeling like I'm about to fall off a cliff to my doom.
The real problem with OCD is that it feels like your standing over the abyss of death. Your life having meant nothing, and all that stuff you experienced meaningless since it can be gone and forever lost in a flash, so you want to prove otherwise, you want to prove your life does have significance or else it's true you're just a spec of dust on a cosmic scale and you suck.
I do suck. I don't want to believe it, but I do. I'm nobody. I go struggling with OCD nonsense to prove otherwise, but it's inevitable and true. I'm not a big guy. Nobody cares about me, and my life will mean nothing when I kick the bucket.
So what? I swear, it's just awkward and foolishness and honestly. You know what it really is. If I had a right good pair of tits in my face I wouldn't be OCD at all, I can guarantee you that shit brother...
Like, if I had the ass to grab, the angelic cute little face of a beautiful girl, the potential to fall in love, would I be going ape shit over this nonsense? You bet your ass hell no I wouldn't... I'm just alone and this is what people who are alone do, go crazy.
Aigh, indeed... I'm still trying to figure out why my OCD was so bad this time. Usually I don't go this deep with it. It bothers me but it's not to this level where I can't function and I crumple up and fall to pieces because of it. Why was this so intense this time? It's scary to wonder if it's an escalation of it with advancing age or something more complex. I guess it's mathematical. I had an equation swirling around in my head I couldn't solve and my semi-photo memory wasn't able to conjure up even a few clues as to the origin of the video and I was stumped and usually I'm not stumped, I can use my deduction to figure out what my memory once was or if I simply pull up the feeling I can see it with my very clear powerful visualization. This time I like put in a request for the images and visuals and got zip and figured well it's just a glitch in my memory I'll figure it out with time and yunno, indeed my mind found clues to what it was. It was a video of the guy, it was a male voice over the clip, it was a commentary being made about the guy's style being anti norms of society, so using those clues I looked for it and it was like to me only a matter of time before I hit it, most likely something to do with directors or actors who bucked the trends of society etc.
I was correct. The video I was about exactly those things. But striking as hell that it took this long this much effort to find it. And AFTER I gave up and said, just move on...
Not the first time. I've had this same bullshit in the past. Gave up on something, then kept obsessing over it and got lucky and found it. Yunno what's funny. Right now today, can't remember wtf I was looking for back then. There's the punch line.
Oh well, all I know is that it's time to get back to work with a lot less psychological baggage to deal with..... if you read all this psychotic meltdown shit I wrote, my deepest apologies.
