Power Rangers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What a wonderful world

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tired

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

Pretty much dick suicide.

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

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

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

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

I'm different.

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

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

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

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

Getting Static Shock finished...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Logan

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

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

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

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

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

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

Did I miss something?

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

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

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

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

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

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

What to do next...

Not really sure. Always had no clue what I was doing in life, certainly sure as hell don't have an idea now...

Whatever comes let it come. I mean I don't believe in knowing all like some people.

Gonna try to get out of this lease for this apartment. I can only guess that they waited for me to get an apartment with a lease to hit me with a firing so I'd be super boned and have to struggle with debt. There is a maliciousness, an evil to the act of firing me that seems planned and strategized. It does make me want to seek revenge. I won't lie. I'm only human. I KNOW where these people will be every day. I could show up, kill all of them, then spend the rest of my life in a comfortable jail cell getting free food and shelter.

But I'm not gonna do that. First of all, I'm not that kind of person no matter what the KKK wants to make black people out to be. I've always been a good person, sorry to disappoint you. I know...

Second, they're already in prison now that I think about it. None of those bastards can leave their shitty job and just live their lives. It's a sad pathetic fate to be landed. Yes they're getting paid, but the dollars are chains they can't break. They're stuck. One thing I noted was how sad some of them seemed working there, showing up for this boring dull job every single day out of desperation to survive. Not because they wanted to be there. Maybe I'm better off spared that fate.

I did like the pay check tho...

Kinda want to try living my life without a job, see how that would work. It'd be damn difficult, and people with shit jobs will hate your guts for going without, but I don't like jobs, can't say I'm a fan of that shit.

If a job isn't slavery, then why is it the exact same situation. Forced servitude. Shouldn't there be an alternative to working to differentiate it from slavery? Apparently not. The wage slave thing is truth.

There is no out. You will merely die off if you don't leech off a job.

I'll be finishing my static shock movie next, then get back into my comic art that I was planning to do while at work. I'd spend the time I had before we had to do a flight drawing and sketching ideas, then we'd get to work. But since I got all day, might as well dedicate my self to my comic art full force. Learn another language too while I'm at it.

So much can be accomplished when you don't have school or work getting in the way, such a shame society has yet to learn that.

Going home

I'm not messing with TSA anymore from here forward. Even if they start hiring again, I'm done with their drama, their patented lack of maturity. I want to outright hate tsa, but they have tons of quality good solid people working there who come to work and get the crap shoveled and don't start drama. But then the drama comes from the managers and supervisors who need something to do to prove their existence matters.

Am I perfect? Not by any means, but they don't care. They ask for perfection like a lot of jobs do then when you don't deliver the impossible they blow it up to be the end of the known universe.

I sit here not really feeling bad about losing the job. Jobs always will be around, who gives a shit. It's that I LIKED the guys I was working with. Now I'm divorced from them, that life style I'd gotten used to over night. It's gut wrenching and just obscene shit to have your life you know stripped in five seconds away from you like that.

I didn't bother anybody. And I could have but I showed the utmost restraint and didn't ass around like I tend to do. They have no idea what kind of pest I COULD have been if I didn't mature over the years as a worker ant in the grinding gears of the work world.

I'm spinning around not knowing where to turn for comfort or who to trust anymore right now. It's such a scary position to be in. Can I ever get a job and keep it? Or am I just going to be kicked and booted from every job I get from here forward after a few months.

Well, holy shit, didn't see that coming. Might as well rob a store and be done with it. Honestly that's what I think is what society wants from my black ass. Go rob some place for money, then go become inmate number xxx in some prison.

So stupid. I mean, what would society prefer, black people contributing productively or loafing around in the subway for warmth and shelter... Give blacks jobs, even shit like tsa, and call it a day. Why is that a big deal?

Why make a statement about race and politics by firing a young black male from a decent paying job to prove you don't care about black people or something. Why do you have to prove that with ME? Who the hell am I?

It doesn't make sense. If I did something outrageous, like punch somebody, then ok, let's go, fire me. The reason they gave for firing me from my fucking JOB was that I wasn't all super duper quality like they wanted. THAT'S IT. Not that I fucked up horribly. Not that I hurt a child, which I had millions of chances to do by bumping into half of them or just being a douche bag and insulting some kid, or hurt the elderly people we deal with which luckily I never did but came close a million times as well cuz they have us bending down and maneuvering around someone who's 90 and frail as a twig. No I'm fired from my JOB, the thing that sustains my life, cuz I don't gots da awesomeness they want.

No they don't say, do things better and we won't fire you. They just straight MURDER my ass, over not being upbeat enough or some pussy little complaint they came out their ass with. NOT gonna try getting back in at TSA, sorry to say. I liked that job, felt like home. Why I even bothered re-applying. I liked it...

So I'm done with jobs for a while. Going to go home, take months off and just re-think my objectives.

Fuck work. Fuck it so hard.
