In 1950, a small Mexican town was filled with visitors for the fiesta; however what they didn’t suspect was that some of those visitors were from the future. Two of them were vacationers from 2155, who had been enjoying things not available in the war torn future. Not wanting to return to the bleak future and their roles in weapons design, they decided to defect and stay in the past. The other visitors were hunters from the future sent to bring them back.

I’m thinking someone should just give Gigi her medical license now 😂

She’s the one who told Conrad that Peter ate roast beef which caused his protein (?) to spike so they were able to avoided cutting his brain open.

Noticing Sammie had a red tongue (which for some reason all those doctors didn’t? 😂) and they were then able to diagnose her properly and she got better.

Not really medical but knowing that Kyle meant carpel tunnel when he said “that capel thing” I mean what five year old knows that 😂

Im sure there is more smaller moments but I’m blanking at the moment.

My review of Rise of the Beasts

It was... okay. I liked like 70% of it. We're inching- we're inching closer and closer to that perfect Transformers movie, but we're not there yet. I gotta say I liked Bumblebee (2018) more but that's not really fair to say because it's my favourite movie of all time, because it was the first time we had proof that live action Transformers movies can be good, the first time that they made a genuine effort and were created by decent human beings. So, this movie can't beat that in my mind. Overall, I'd give this film a 6.5 out of 10

Spoilers obvi

Not sure how to structure this, so I'll just go chronologically through the film and say whatever pops into my head. The opening is fun. Scourge is terrifying. I kind of love that he dispatches Apelink pretty much effortlessly, it's so disheartening and horrifying and it really tells the audience that the main characters are screwed. Look, the bar is so so SO low so when we see Primal sad when Apelink transfers the leadership over to him, you're like ‘Oh my God, there are people, that's great’. Voice acting in general is great, Peter Dinklage sounds great as Scourge. Ron Pearlman as Primal is phenomenal.

There wasn't much depth to Scourge, he's just evil for the sake of being evil, but he's good at being evil for the sake of being evil, but honestly I’m kind of disappointed because I thought I heard Steven Capel Jr say he wanted the villain to not just be plain evil, so I think some scenes could have been cut out. Unicron mentions that Scourge, Nightbird, and Battletrap are survivors of a world he consumed, but... why? Why did he pick them? I thought Scourge was like in a Silver Surfer situation like ‘hey don't eat my world and I'll lead you to other worlds’ and that's why he keeps serving Unicron to protect his home, that way there is a parallel there between OP and Scourge, they both want to go back to and protect their home, Scourge is what OP could be if not for the character arc he embarks on. Which would have been great. But we didn't really get that. But you have no idea how happy I was to hear that OP was getting a character arc, like I said the bar is on the floor.

Now... a major gripe here:... I noticed a plot hole. So, the Maximals use the Transwarp Key to escape through space and time and go back in time to earth, right? Airazor mentions she's from their ‘past and future’ and Primal mentions that he was named after Optimus. So, they are from the future. So... how does Scourge know them? How does Unicron know them? Shouldn't they be like WTF this weird energy signature just appeared, what is this? Who are these people? An easy fix would have been if Scourge and Co grab onto the ship and follow them through the portal and they get lost along the way somewhere in space that's why they're not on earth from the get go and then they are drawn to the planet by the key being activated and then once they get the key they call Unicron from their future by opening a portal through time.

Human stuff is good. Humans are bearable. Humans have never been better. I actually found myself tearing up at the scenes between Noah and Chris. The Sonic and Tails reference was cute. Calling Mirage Knuckles was extremely adorable too.

I have to admit when the Autobots first appear on screen I got so excited. Loved Arcee, Liza Koshy did a really good job, I really wasn't expecting her to deliver the lines so perfectly, I love the G1/Energon design. Especially the shade of pink they use for her visor it's delightful. I like this interpretation of Arcee, she's like a tech-head, she sounds like a strategist, very much G1/Animated personality. The dynamics between the Autobots are really fun. I love the fact that they actually like each other and are friends.

References to Bee (2018) are much appreciated, thank you.

Mirage is great, love him, a new fan favourite for me, he's funny, he's adorable, he sincere, Pete Davidson did a damn good job. Formula One G1 reference was fun, but that was one of those instances where the CGI wasn't great. His relationship with Noah makes the film alongside with OP's arc.

I like the reasoning behind the Autobots needing him, him being a thief and all that. I like that the humans serve a purpose and it all brilliantly ties in together. I think that the first act is the tightest by far.

So, a new concept introduced in this film is that bots can transform into any vehicle they want no matter the size, that's cool, explains the mass-shifting for others like Shockwave and Megatron, I know some people might have a problem with that, but I actually thought it was fine.

Apart from Prime (show) this is Peter Cullen's best performance yet as Optimus. Love that he distrusts humans and doesn't care for them much at the beginning, I love the guilt and shame that he feels for pretty much losing the war and getting his Autobots stranded on a backwater planet I love all of those scenes with Optimus.

Would have loved to see that deleted scene with OP killing Transit and hunting Decepticons and dumping their bodies into the Hudson, that sets the perfect tone for his journey and the mental state that he's in.

But on the other hand I like the fact that without this scene the Decepticons haven't made it to earth yet, not diminishing Bee’s victory at the end of the last film.

Humans don't see the beacon, that's cool. Explains why the police don't just show up right away.

Those BayFrenzy-looking things, hate them, once again that Bayverse garbage from the producers is leaking in. There's a lot of good stuff from Steven Caple Jr here to counterbalance that. And all the best stuff from this movie comes from him and his personal rewrites from what I can tell from his interviews. But that God damn Bayhem still pokes its head out from time to time. Like... every villain gets decapitated and is murdered gruesomely. It's completely unnecessary. It doesn't allow for these villains to grow in later sequels which is unfortunate. Stratosphere coughs up an engine, whatever, at least it wasn't a fart joke. Like I said; the bar is on the floor.

The museum fight is fun, it's good, entertaining, we can actually see what's happening. The Terrorcons are formidable. ‘Primus would be ashamed’ what a great quote. Great one liners from Scourge, you can tell that he's a psycho and that he enjoys being a psycho, good stuff.

I wish Nightbird and Battletrap talked more, I wish they had a Shatter/Dropkick relationship. Just something you know? They hate each other / they love each other / they hate but they respect each other / they are plotting against each other. Just something. Anything. But at least they look great, and unique, and you can tell them apart. The voice acting is really good, especially for Nightbird.

I love that OP wants the Transwarp Key to go home, while Noah wants to destroy it, all that stuff makes for fascinating conflict, I really love that. But it makes you wonder though why the Maximals didn't destroy the key themselves. Maybe it can't be destroyed only split, or they secretly hoped they could use it to travel the universe again one day to protect and shepherd different planets as that is their role in this continuity stated by Primal.

OP is furious over the death of Bee, his son, and that's great, the guilt he feels, that shame of losing the war, stranding his Autobots on a planet he doesn’t recognise, the same actions that lead to Bee dying, it's all excellent.

Bee being in a coma gives OP further motivation to get back to Cybertron, every event in this movie is really just hitting him over the head saying ‘you should have never come here’ ‘it's all your fault’.

We meet Wheeljack, he's still ugly, still looks like Urkel, but I actually love him, he's adorable, he actually reminds me a little bit of Earthspark Wheeljack, so I really liked him for like the three scenes he was in, there wasn't really a point to him, he doesn't do anything techy, but he was fun. Paying respect to Peru culture was delightful. The Maximals having a relationship with the indigenous native people is so heart-warming and so joyful to watch. One thing I love about this movie is that they avoid the Chariots of the Gods bullshit, Primal says ‘we cannot take credit for human ingenuity’ this movie gives so much respect and props to indigenous people and poc, it's wonderful. You know a white person did not write that.

I wanted more of the Maximals, because I mean the title is ‘Rise of the BEASTS’. but they kind of stand as the perfect link between the Autobots and the humans, they represent that techno-organic bond, the theme of coexistence, they represent what OP could be and becomes, so they serve their purpose in the movie perfectly fine, but still, wish they were kind of more important. Everyone's voices sound great, it all fits, I would love to hear more of these voice actors.

The Peru battle is good. OP is pissed and I love that, when Scourge is around he can't keep a cool head because of the emotional turmoil he feels inside after losing Bumblebee, I love that he finally feels emotions and isn't just monotone all the time.

Now, Scourge has some weird trackers that corrupt you and turn you evil, so... why doesn't he use them all the time? At least say he only has one, or it costs something to produce them, that's why he can't use them all the time. I guess also the reason is he enjoys killing his victims with his own hands, it's a sport to him.

I wish we had more emotional scenes with Airazor so that when she dies it would have had a bigger impact on us. It's sad, because you're getting to see Primal and Airazor as friends, but only for a little bit and it's sad because you see him crush her chest, but the transformers films still have the same problem of cutting to humans reacting dramatically to the dramatic thing happening rather than showing us it. And if it's too horrifying to focus on her chest caving in, focus on Primal’s sorrowful face or on Airazor’s face as she dies as the light leaves her eyes. Either or.

I think the movie really shines in its first and second act, and the third act is kind of the weakest. I think the third act suffers from generic Avengers faceless army syndrome. It looks great. When these CGI people are fighting in a CGI world it works and it looks like everything fits, but still it's very generic.

Also, a small rant incoming, when Mirage knocks Scourge’s ‘mask’ off, we cut away from Scourge, we see he pick up the mask and we dramatically reveal... what? Nothing. Is it Bayverse OP, because becoming a psychopath was his arc in those movies, no it's not because it's the same producers working on these films so there's no way we could make fun of the Bay films, those films bought them seven different beach houses they think that they are good films. So, is it someone OP knows from his past? No. Is it at least an Easter egg for fans, is the G1 Scourge? Is it RID 2001 Scourage? Is it Cybertron (show) Scourge? Nope! It’s just some guy. He's nobody. So many missed opportunities.

That moment with Mirage protecting Noah, the conversation with his brother, it's all super emotional and phenomenally acted by Anthony Ramos. All good stuff.

The suit CGI is unfortunately not great. I did like the whole homage to Daniel’s suit from The Transformers The Movie 1986 and to Kicker/Sari’s suit from Energy/Animated.

I wish the temptation of Unicron would last a bit longer, like maybe we see OP being tempted with a vision of his greatest desires, like he's back on Cybertron with Elita, the war is over, Megatron is defeated, you know? Just do something more with it.

Overall, I liked Bumblebee more, but it's okay I'd give it a 6.5 out of 10

Capelle aan den IJssel - Bedrijventerrein Capelle-West krijgt een nieuwe uitstraling. Als het aan de gemeente en de ondernemers in Capelle-West ligt, wordt het een groener, vitaler en veiliger bedrijventerrein. De gemeente is de afgelopen periode in gesprek geweest met eigenaren, ondernemers en omwonenden. De uitkomsten van deze gesprekken zijn meegenomen in een ontwerp dat is goedgekeurd door het college van burgemeester en wethouders. Maatregelen die snel kunnen worden uitgevoerd, zijn het aanleggen van waterdoorlatende parkeerplaatsen en bufferblocks.  Bedrijventerrein Capelle-West Het bedrijventerrein Capelle-West is meer dan 50 jaar oud. De riolering is verouderd en aan vervanging toe. Met deze werkzaamheden grijpt de gemeente de kans aan om - samen met de eigenaren en ondernemers – het bedrijventerrein een injectie te geven. Wethouder Economie Eric Faassen is blij met de stappen die worden gemaakt met elkaar: "Het is mooi om te zien hoe we als gemeente samen met de ondernemers, de eigenaren, gebruikers en bewoners van Capelle-West het bedrijventerrein transformeren naar een nog veiligere, schonere en duurzamere plek om te ondernemen. Zo zetten we samen koers naar een groener ondernemersklimaat." Ook Peter van Wijk, voorzitter van 'Capelle-West Business' is tevreden over de aanpak: "Veel eigenaren en ondernemers zien de voordelen om het bedrijventerrein goed aan te pakken. Uiteindelijk willen we allemaal een plek die aantrekkelijk is om in te werken voor nu en in de toekomst. In goed overleg met de gemeente kunnen we plannen realiseren." Waterdoorlatende parkeerplaatsen en bufferblocks Tijdens meerdere bijeenkomsten met eigenaren, ondernemers en bewoners uit de buurt is besproken hoe het bedrijventerrein een aantrekkelijkere uitstraling kan krijgen. De bouwstijl uit de jaren 60 en 70 van de vorige eeuw bestaat voornamelijk uit beton en stenen. Deze materialen versterken hittestress en bij hevige regenval loopt het water moeilijk weg. Om die reden maakt de gemeente het mogelijk om waterdoorlatende parkeerplaatsen en meer groen aan te leggen. "Een andere kans die we zien, is het aanleggen van bufferblocks in de grond. Dit is een waterbergingssysteem dat regenwater snel afvoert in de bodem na hevige buien, maar het kan water ook vasthouden. Hiermee spelen we in op het veranderende klimaat met extreme neerslag en langdurige droogte. In Capelle aan den IJssel hadden we twee jaar geleden al een primeur met deze bufferblocks", vertelt Faassen.  Subsidie voor eigenaren Ook de provincie Zuid-Holland ziet het belang van groenere bedrijventerreinen. Zij stelt een subsidiebedrag beschikbaar van €100.000, dat de gemeente samen met de eigenaren wil inzetten voor de aanleg van de waterdoorlatende parkeerplaatsen. En er kan nog meer. Naast deze subsidie heeft de gemeenteraad een bedrag van €250.000 beschikbaar gesteld voor het instellen van een gevel- en voorterreinenfonds. Hiermee krijgen eigenaren de mogelijkheid om een subsidie aan te vragen voor het verbeteren van hun eigen pand en voorterrein. Rond de zomer stelt het college van burgemeester en wethouders de regels vast voor de uitvoering van het gevel- en voorterreinenfonds. Verlagen maximum snelheid Ten slotte wil de gemeente ook een inspanning leveren om de verkeersveiligheid in de buurt te vergroten. Op de drie doorgaande wegen; Admiraal Helfrichweg, Gemzenstraat en Poolvosweg wordt het asfalt vervangen door stenen en wordt de snelheid verlaagd naar 30 km p/u. Dit is een langer gekoesterde wens van de bewoners in de wijk Capelle-West. Het college van burgemeester en wethouders heeft het voorlopig ontwerp goedgekeurd. De verwachting is dat de gemeente begin volgend jaar start. De werkzaamheden duren ongeveer 15 maanden.

Kirk Douglas and Adolphe Menjou in Paths of Glory (Stanley Kubrick, 1957) Cast: Kirk Douglas, Ralph Meeker, Adolphe Menjou, George Macready, Wayne Morris, Richard Anderson, Christiane Kubrick, Jerry Hausner, Peter Capell, Emile Meyer, Bert Freed, Kem Dibbs, Timothy Carey, Fred Bell, John Stein, Harold Benedict. Screenplay: Stanley Kubrick, Calder Willingham, Jim Thompson, based on a novel by Humphrey Cobb. Cinematography: Georg Krause. Art direction: Ludwig Reiber. Film editing: Eva Kroll. Music: Gerald Fried. Kirk Douglas gives an uncharacteristically restrained performance in Paths of Glory, but the real star of the film is director Stanley Kubrick, who lends the big battle scene a kind of choreographed intensity. Kubrick had begun his career as a photographer for Look magazine and had been his own cinematographer on his early short films and his features Fear and Desire (1953) and Killer's Kiss (1955). Although the cinematographer for Paths of Glory is Georg Krause, it's easy to sense Kubrick's direction as he anticipates the battle scene's relentless motion with long takes and tracking shots in the earlier parts of the film, when the camera observes Gen. Broulard (Adolphe Menjou) persuading Gen. Mireau (George Macready) to commit his troops to the suicidal assault on the German-held "Ant Hill." We follow Broulard and Mireau as they move through the opulent French headquarters (actually the Schleissheim Palace in Bavaria), circling each other as Broulard plays on Mireau's ambition and overcomes his resistance, Then we move to the trenches, a sharp contrast in setting from the palace, where the camera tracks Mireau as he walks down the long narrow ditch, greeting soldiers in a stiff, formulaic way and berating one who is stupefied by shell shock as a coward. The tracking shot of Mireau's tour of the trenches is then repeated with Col. Dax (Douglas) in the moments before the suicidal assault on the Ant Hill, although this time the air is full of smoke and debris from the shelling. Then Dax goes over the top, blowing a shrill whistle to lead his troops, and we have long lateral tracks punctuated by explosions and falling men. Film editor Eva Kroll's work adds to the power of the sequence. If the acting and the screenplay were as convincing as the camerawork, Paths of Glory might qualify as the masterpiece that some think it is. Douglas, Menjou, and Macready are fine, and Wayne Morris and Ralph Meeker have a good scene together as members of a scouting party on the night before the battle, in which the drunkenness and cowardice of Morris's character has fatal consequences. But the scenes in which the three soldiers court-martialed for the failure of the assault face the prospect of the firing squad go on much too long, and are marred by the overacting of Timothy Carey as the "socially undesirable" Private Ferol and the miscasting of Emile Meyer, who usually played heavies, as Father Dupree. (Carey was actually fired from the film, and a double was used for some scenes.) And the film ends with a mawkish and unconvincing scene in which a captured German girl (the director's wife-to-be, Christiane Kubrick) reduces the French troops to tears with a folk song. Paths of Glory has to be described as a flawed classic.

In 2155 AD, the world is at war. Half the world is dead the other half is dieing. Everything is rationed including luxuries like chocolate, tobacco and alcohol. Torture is acceptable means to force skilled workers to work on war projects if need be. The only place suitable for vacation is using time travel to the past. (“To the Future” Dimension X, Rd)
