Escape | A Sci-fi short film by Opera from Operabrowser on Vimeo.

Padmaavat

I don't even know how I found this gem. The poetic story, love, war, honor, cowardice... The most epic movie I have seen in 2018, and the greatest Bollywood film I have EVER seen. 5/5 stars...

Blade Runner 2049 was Excellent

I don't watch movies lately, but this movie was pretty amazing. Kept me captivated, to the point where I completely lost myself in the film. This rarely happens, and is why I don't watch movies any longer. It was directed by Denis Villeneuve, same guy who directed Sicario which is another epic film. Really puzzling and hard to get, though. I may rewatch it, if time permits, or simply look up some of its meanings. It is really long, but worth every minute. Blade Runner 2049 made me remember how much I love future Sci-Fi genre.

I will be watching Arrival next. Hopefully, it will live up to the first two.

Ex Machina was good

my god. movies are so bad nowadays. I rarely watch any. but came across Ex Machina after watching Internet Historian latest video. the movie was awesome, and I wish every movie was like this. had me captivated the whole time, when 98% of movies I watch I go ADD. that's not even mentioning all the NWO propaganda that's being pumped into us by Hollywood. I'd say 9/10, because the ending I didn't  particularly like, unless there is a sequel...

Sicario, the Greatest Movie possibly EVER!

this type of films is why I used to watch movies in the first place. too bad most of them are nothing like this today...

the Black Guy ruined the new Star Wars movie

I already know that Hollywood is the devil, spreading lies and propaganda. but can't these diluted fucks get a good actor to play one of the lead roles? the awkwardness and the silliness of this black dude was cringeworthy. I can't say it was THAT bad, but considering this is one of the biggest blockbusters of last and this year, it was pretty bad. I wonder how much he got paid to be an awkward goofball... I'm gonna stop here cuz I don't wanna ruin this for anyone reading that hasn't watched this. but this is why I don't care for movies anymore. I'm tired of all the Hollywood's crap, on top of all their lies they spew.

the female Brit, though, reminds me of me. running away from her fears, refusing to go down the path that calls her. I am still going through that right now. this calling won't stop, until I face my demons.

and I don't know if it's just me, but the 3d element doesn't add much to movies anymore. it's a cool feature, but the last 'wow' factor I experienced in 3d, was the Michael Jackson movie in Disneyland when I was like 15. maybe it's because I was young, or maybe they just don't know how to make good 3d movies anymore. I was feeling really bad when I missed Avatar in 3d when it came out in theaters. but looking back, I probably haven't missed much. ehh.. whatever. fuck Hollywood! Star Wars: The Force Awakens gets a 4/5, and I'm being generous here. This is after I overlook all the silliness and the goofiness the black dude brings. I enjoyed the movie, though. But it isn't anything ground breaking, or earth shattering.

R'ha - Alienz Vs Machine - Short Film

I've been meaning to post this for quiet sometime. It turned out real nicely. I was wondering what program(s) this guy used to make this project. But it looks good enough to be some sort of a Matrix Sci-Fi mini-movie. Now if I could only make something like this myself...

Dredd, and Stardust=Great Movies

especially Dredd. that movie was fucking bad ass!!! action packed like no other I've seen in a while. smoking some weed to it makes it trippy especially with those slow mo scenes where people shoot up drugs. DAMN this movie was good. reminded me of Burn Notice, which I stopped watching after Season 2 cuz of annoying ass Fiona ruining the whole show for me.

My favorite part was this psychic Judge that has her first training day with Dredd, and come to think of it... this was like Training Day in a way. But it was more of a Sci-Fi future film. LOVED this movie!

anyway...

Stardust is more of a fantasy film, which was good - 4/5 stars

Dredd is more of an action pack, go in, come out dead or alive, live in the moment film - 5/5 stars!

Alien movies aren't too far from the Truth

I am talking about Alien movies directed by Ridley Scott, starting Tom Skerritt, and Sigourney Weaver.

I am reading this National Geographic issue of November 2014 titled "Real Zombies: The Strange Science of the Living Dead". It's also called "Meet Nature's Nightmare: MINDSUCKERS." It's talking about some of the parasites that exist on this planet that use their hosts. And when they are done with everything they needed, they take over the host's brain and make it commit suicide. Of course it's different in every case. But this is what happens to a house cricket when it scavenges dead insects. The horsehair worm invades its body. The larvae of the parasite gets inside the cricket, and then grows inside its body. When the worm is fully grown, it takes over the brain of the cricket, and makes it jump in the nearest lake or body of water. The cricket dies, and the worm emerges.

But it doesn't end there. There is this wasp called Dinocampus coccinellae, that uses a ladybug to carry its eggs. It finds a ladybug, stings it into its underside, inserting eggs along with chemicals. When the larva hatches, it feeds on the ladybug's insides. So the ladybug goes on about eating other insects, while larvae feeds on their remains inside the stomach. When a few weeks goes by, the larvae is large enough to leave its host. It exits out through a chink of the ladybug's exoskeleton.

But it gets even worse. From now on, the ladybug is a slave. It's free of the wasp's larva parasite, but its mind is controlled. So all it does is protects the silk cocoon beneath it from any predators that dare go near it. At the end of this hideous ordeal, most ladybugs die.

There is many other cases, but one other one is about this parasite called Toxoplasma gondii, which effects mice and rats. It can create thousands of cysts in the brain of its host. But in order for it to reproduce, it needs a cat. So what does it do? It takes over the brain of a rat or a mice, and the rat completely loses its fear of cats. Instead of being scared, it becomes curious of the scent of a cat's urine. So it goes towards the scent and BAM, gets eaten. Then Toxoplasma reproduces in the cat's excrement. The parasite doesn't reach cat's brain, but hey now it multiplied, and on to the next cycle. Here is one video I found on NG website.


There is lots more about frogs that commit suicide by going towards herons, ants, spiders, and caterpillars. It just kind of reminded of Alien movies. If you think that sort of stuff is a work of science fiction, think again. It's happening right here on this planet. And if it's happening on Earth, which is like a tiny grain of sand compared to how humungus the Universe really is, what makes you think it isn't happening somewhere else? After all, "out there" is really "here." To the beings that live on the other side of the cosmos, we are "out there." But to us, it's the complete opposite.

I don't know if the guy who wrote Alien movies is a complete genius, or maybe he just studied a lot of animal life on our planet. Either way, this is some scary shit that's fascinating at the same time.
