tbh there comes a point in the tumblr culture where it is just so incredibly embarrassing for everyone involved when u guys say you’ve never heard of [piece of famous, influential etc media] on those tournament/have you heard of blogs. like you people truly are so unbelievably uncultured and never seek out new information. there is a reason things are popular and i do genuinely think everyone should watch old famous movies even if u think it’s pretentious or whatever. like this media is so foundational for what came after so how can you like [whatever modern media] without appreciating the og? and also its sooo embarrassing reading through the have you seen this movie blog and it’s just a sea of only 00s cartoons. live a little. grow up. are you not ashamed tbh? it’s not cute to not know these things imo

I watched Interstellar and 2001: A Space Odyssey

Interstellar: manifest destiny, exploration conquest, the white settler colonialism fantasy. something like 5% of oceans have been explored and you want to relocate planets smh. engineers and physicists are real scientists but the plant bio and ecology needed for successful agriculture is for the uneducated and stupid huh. "Blight" is wiping out all crop species. Either those crops got too specialized to survive without human care and herbicides, or like all angiosperms got wiped out in which case eat pine nuts or something. creative problem solving. Toxic masculinity? Why does only cooper have the redneck accent but none of his kids Good science tho like with the black hole or ammonia atmosphere. I do think sending your brightest minds into a death trap is a terrible idea like at that point you are breeding yourselves to be stupid. Most unrealistic part is that they don't have drones, they are sending inefficient humans to do things manually while amazon is over here navigating cities to deliver packages the same day No way they got video feed you know how much data that takes compared to audio or text Corn discourse. oh the corn discourse i could give here Grow some fucking algae. don't have bare soil. live underground with a hepa filter. i am going to scream. This film needs solar punk soooo badly. I am chewing on the screen for some sustainable farming. i going to beat the creators over the head with a science textbook. A captain going down with the ship. Why save humanity if other species or the integrity of earth can not be saved. Why is humanity's survival a priority. If Dr. Mann ran out of supplies how is he going to support a colony, even with the new ship. Ah he lied. Newtons 3rd law only getting somewhere by leaving something behind. Plan B. Cooper. No way he's alive in a black hole Space oddessy 2001 moment Wait wait. What did that equation do again? That was for plan A right? mass migration of humanity off of earth. Why did they need that equation again? I forgot. And this leads to saturn space stations? Sound track is great I cried at the point of the death bed reveal that they cant go to earth but i did not cry for the astronauts (also side note the soviets won this round cosmonaut is a better name), i cried for the Earth that had been exploited to the point of collapse and then abandoned. i mentioned this in an earlier post on "who turns off the lights", if humans had removed their influence and left the planet in joy for it to continue its existence without humans that would be one thing, but to destroy it and refuse to take responsibility for that like in the movie angers me. The Dust Bowl was a man made disaster. the dust bowl happened because of unsustainable agriculture (like unless american farmers switch to soil retaining practices and sustainable agriculture the US is going to run out of topsoil in like 100 years). modern pandemics both agricultural and human are caused by humans, the increasingly global range of markets means there's far more transmission of possible pathogen agents than ever before and due to changes in land use and human encroachment on natural areas (as well as displacement of wildlife ex: slash and burn) there's increased contact between wild animals and humans so more chances for diseases to jump. I've got complicated feelings on interstellar. on one hand it's a well made movie and the physics is surprisingly good, i can see why people like it. on the other hand i am opposed to some of the core ideas and fundamental concepts of the movie that i mostly feel disgust and despair towards it and humanity. All these planets and only 10 were worth investigating, 3 had promising data, and 1 was barely habitable and you're already giving up on earth which was doing far more than supporting 1 human. this reminds me of all those times "smart" people logic themselves to the wrong conclusion, like you can use logic and still miss the point.

Man and robot get lost together in a space time wormhole out by saturn guided by some mystery incomprehensibly advanced civilization? You know what 2001 space oddessy time. Never watched but ive read its tvtropes page and its ao3. 20min of a bunch of people jumping around in monkey suits Interstellar is paced like an action movie, a marvel movie, it ends up felling generic in a way? space odyessy is much slower paced and feels refreshing compared to modern high budget movies. Like the whole sequence with clavius I really liked. It was subtle information dense (even if the actors forgot they were suppose to be in 0 gravity sometimes). Like how the movie shows through character interactions that Dr. Heywood is a very important and influential man, how delicate soviet relations could be during the cold war, and that while loving, Heywood isn't often home to spend time with his daughter. and then we just don't know what happens to them Hal introduces themself as foolproof, incapable of error, and unable to lie Is this why when hal did indeed make an error and a small one at that it got caught in a desperate control loop as thing spiraled further from what was suppose to happen hal took more extreme actions which made things worse. Did the robit develop a sense of identity, stake everything on that sense of identity and then have a crisis when the fundamentals of that identity were challenged? A snowballing and compounding situation HAL purposefully brings up how suspicious the mission is to dave. Guilt? Confession? Trust with dave? And this of course is the moment hal makes a mistake while in the pits of guilt about deceiving dave and coming too close to spilling secrets, dave who seems to be forming a friendship with them. …and now im psychoanalyzing the robot. Steven universe style halman gem GASLIGHT Now is murder girlbossing or gatekeeping Why did hal respond to dave at all? Why not take control of Dave's pod? Hmm probably should have a manual override for that Given the conversation hal initiates earlier and how they had regressed to their first memory. I think hal played that recording for dave Much slower definitely weirder. Just had to add a giant fetus huh. i like this better than interstellar it is far more visionary. cornfield chase is still a banger.

Still, studying greek stuff in priority to other cultures is an American white supremacy thing. I expect if you have read the Oddessy to have done the same with Journey to the West, heard stories from indigenous leaders in your area, ect

I’m living for The Odyssey discourse on Twitter right now because some people are like, “You’ve never heard of the odyssey” and other people are like, “some people don’t speak English and haven’t read your little American book.”

watched the cookie oddessy cutscenes and here r my thoughts on day 2! ill watch thru to the end but this will be wayyy too long if i dont split them up so below cut for spoilers, obviously

new crepe voicelines. I love their voice sm it suits them so well hollyberry cookie,,,, why are you speaking in place of another woman, golden cheese cookie, who also happens to share your godlike status and is probably the closest to you at least geographically,,, Kinda fruity. Not saying they fuck but like they have HISTORY okay hollyberry uses dragons as in. Plural. like i know abt the 5 dragons but shes specifically means as in the dragons her kingdom has fought [and defeated] so like. Hm ?

"i must talk to hollyberry cookie, yet i cannot find her" Dark cacao. Cacao. My Man. You have known this woman for centuries. And you haven't checked the bar. King ? general annoyance but why dont the raisin villagers have new vanillia kingdom drip. You would think they would at least not have their bandages anymore if PV presumably healed them fully once he regains the power of his soul jam??? i can totally see black raisin being too stubborn to change but. The rest??? haha the little sweating effect looks weird on cacao's angry sprite and makes it look like the sword is sweating hollyberry i dont think it is very nice to force ur bestie to drink i know she has good intentions but. Queen,,,, dark cacao getting wasted and trying to fight a tree is the funniest thing ever to me. Like i was spoiled on it but. Still,,,,,, girl help wah,,, the besties catching up. happy to see cacao's character growth still shine thru and not be forgotten 'i met my grandaughter!' THERES. theres LITERALLY canonical proof outright showing hb was around when princess and tiger lily were born. HELLO ??? hb "i wonder if they [GC and WL] are still,,,, You know" i could make a fruity people are real joke but i WON'T. WHAT?????? ELABORATE PLEASE??? do not care about espresso and maddie tbh but like. Win for their enjoyers its nice to see them again :] "ah, i can't wait to meet my fellow republicans!" Do. Did the localization team not realize how horribly that reads to american ears /lh why do they spell sir like that,,, 'ser',,, Ew anyways overall thoughts being it was neat!! feels a lot like a setup for later days tho. i do really like cacao and hb's dynamic and i love the ancients getting back together in general, i just really wish this had waited until GC was out. ill probably move this around in my fanon to be after her storyline

In Search Of Moon Lake: A Montana Mission Mountain Oddessy

One of my personal hikes, though money-making niches thousands in Montana to choose from, is the Emma Peak Pack Trail in the Bitterroot Mountain Range inside of Lolo National Forest. The Bitterroot Mountain Range is, all through humble opinion, the very best of the best. Its mountains and scenery are unsurpassed. Its rivers are distinguished for their fishing and whitewater river rafting. The wildlife is plentiful. There are hundreds of fabulous trails and campgrounds. In the quiet towns scattered nearby, there is always a friendly face offering directions or available for a chat.

Because steelhead are greater than other trout and most game fish in kalispell wedding locations, they are enjoyable to become fashionable a voyage. To land a steelhead, anglers will want to play the fish smartly and more than a jiffy as installed up a high quality fight. When you are traveling very far to steelhead fish, doing their best to fish more than one day is a good idea. On a good day, one will catch a good of fish and on another day, none.

You want me to type in Russian/Ukrainian/Nenets/French to, for even a second, humour a thought that not everyone on this website is American? Ah, Americentrism at its finest.

Also, I know it's a shocking fact, so you might wanna sit down, but: it's silly to assume that the way English-speaking countries study literature is the way it's studied everywhere else. You aren't the center of the world.

"No credibility"

Well, they sure have more credibility than some random blogger like you online.

"Fanwork"

You really hate admitting that 350 words one shots about ShadowtheHedgehogxRainbowDash are hardly comparable to someone making a work inspired by Oddessy and publishing it like an actual piece of literature

Doylist analysis: Both JK Rowling and SE Hinton have the same issue with their writing, where they fail to fully separate THEIR heterosexual woman perspective from the perspective of their teenage boy protagonists, which is why both Harry Potter and Ponyboy Curtis spend an absurd amount of time commenting on how attractive all of the teenage boys around them are. 

Watsonian analysis: Harry Potter and Ponyboy Curtis are both exceptionally bisexual and just havent realized it yet.

Why did the Lockheed F22 beat the Northrop YF23?

This is one of those things you can connect the dots to the GOP Deep State.

COMMENTARY:

In regards to Kirk Rheinlander remarks regarding Northrop and the Flying Wing , sorting out anything that goes on in the Military Industrial Complex is a hall of mirrors. There are factions on the federal payroll that are in constant inappropriate competition with anything that doesn’t fit their personal portfolio, especially covert career crypto-Nazi activists engaged in active sabotage of Presidential Stewardship from 1933 to 1981. For exa mple, Pat Buchanan wrote about trying to sabotage Nixon’s China policy on Air Force One on the way to Nixon’s first trip to Beijing.

The Northrop example is probably accurate. I have been engaged in what President Putin now calls Sovereign Democracy since 1975 as part of a US-Soviet aviation IPO based on Nixon’s design for airline deregulation and the opportunity Vietnam created for the Nixon-Brezhnev “Detente” and the trade window it opened, starting with privately owned IBM computer components. IBM did everything it could to keep IBM out of the Soviet Union, but my boss/partner built a turn-key data-processing facility for a Soviet agency in Saratov. IBM was behind the curve in regards to the internet in 1971: Elan Musk is using pretty much the same management model IBM did in 1971. The good thing from that is SpaceX , which is based on the collective vision of 2001:A Space Oddessy Musk imported with his Harvard Business School performance model and a little dash of Ayn Rand.

In 1981, the Reagan Presidential legacy became the systematic dismantling of the peaceful structures of the Democratic Socialism embedded in the US Constittuion, as a reflection of the economics of Jesus by way of Adam Smith.

In 1981, Reagan inherited everything he needed to put a permanent United Nations Space Force base on the moon by 2001, including the enthusiatic engagement of the Soviets Soyuz design people. A NASA-Soyuz collaboration would have been the next step in the Sovereign Democracy processs helping the Soviets modify their Soviet Marxism to something like Vietnam’s Free Enterprise Marxism and begin to transform their Military-Industrial Complex into a Soviet version of Aerospace-Entrepreneurial Matrix Nixon’s Affirmative Action agenda made possible.

If Carter had been re-elected, there would now be a moon colony very close to self sustaining in the Moon is a Harsh Mistress ecologically sound economic dynamic with Earth kind of way while NASA-Soyuz was working on Mars.

But the same people who sabotaged Northrop’s Flying Wing fucked up Space Force in 1981, and blew up two space shuttles, by dismantling Nixon’s legacy in order to finance the tax subsidies for the Koch brothers and the Manafort-type life style of the Dark Money elements of the GOP Deep State. Roger Stone is the current poster boy for this element of the GOP Deep State going back to Northrop’s Flying ,Wing but, in particular, to the 1971 Powell Memo that is the blue print for the Tory Socialism of Reaganomics.

The connection between Northrop and Roger Stone is described in Hedrick Smith’s

The Legend Of The Mystical Ninja Hardcore Indepth Review By Terrence T. Watson / Samurai

The following review is published for http://www.realotakugamer.com you can view that here. http://realotakugamer.com/games-you-slept-on-the-legend-of-the-mystical-ninja Retro Games You Slept On : The Legend Of The Mystical Ninja Introduction: Welcome back to the SNES Era of Gaming here we'll be talking about a hidden gem that not many people actually know about. This title is known as The Legend Of The Mystical Ninja or ( Ganbare Goemon ) in Japan. Whilst only one Mystical Ninja title came over to the US there has been a whole slew of these titles within Japan thus proving that the game is a popular series but it was more of a one hit wonder in the US eventually leading to future games in the Goemon series for the N64 and the Playstation. The Story: The Legend Of The Mystical Ninja stars the adventures of Kid Ying ( Goemon ) and Dr. Yang ( Ebisamaru ) respectively. Their adventure starts with investigating the haunted Horo Shrine and it leads all the way across Japan in an effort to save Princess Yuki from The Forces of Evil. From what starts off as a small Journey turns into being a rather massive Oddessy within itself. Going from places such as Towns to Amusment Parks , Through actual Bamboo Forests literally for a SNES Game its rather impressive just what this paticular game is quite capable of. Regardless without giving too much away you should definitely give this title a chance. Why you shouldent sleep on it: There is a lot of different things you can do within this game alone. From Going through hidden mazes , Playing Paint , Hitting the Sauna, Playing Whack A Mole , Getting your fortune told , gambling , actually playing the Lottery , actually being on a quiz show , actually betting on horses and playing Gradius. Trust me there is a LOT you can actually do within Legend Of The Mystical Ninja on SNES and the sad part about that is? It's not a part of the main campaign. Those are actually side stores you can go into as your gaming normally. With a hefty campaign and side area's you can go into and that is excuding the games hidden areas? Legend Of The Mystical Ninja is a game that has enough for just about anyone literally this section alone justifies why you should not sleep on it. Fun Factor?: Honestly "The Legend Of The Mystical Ninja's" stand alone campaign is a lengthly campaign within its own. Even having beaten the actual game? I'd say that the entire game itself is fun due to the sheer amount of areas that you can go toward almost every area has one town and one dungeon area. Most stages have a boss at the end of each level. I think the sole exception to this rule is the third level in which only has a Mini Boss given that it's a "Konami themed Amusment Park" than an actual level. Personal Likes: My Personal Likes are listed below. -The Sheer Amount Of Diversity This Game Has [Seriously this game offers a lot.] -The amount of Mini games it has. [Please see why you shouldent sleep on this game] -Its amazing Cast Of Characters [Literally every character is memorable in its own way.] -The setting for the entire game overall. [I like all of the areas and its rarely that I do.] Personal Dislikes: My Personal Dislikes are listed below. -The Length Of The Game [Personally even though the game is long I wanted more] -Some of The Boss Dungeons can get tedious [Namely Stage 4 and 5's boss castles.] -Some stages require you to buy a key item to advance. [Only two stages do this but still its quite annoying] -The inability to go back to previous stages [So once you advance? That is it until you replay the game.] Closing Statement: For this being a SNES Era Video Game? The Legend Of The Mystical Ninja was one of Konami's greatest titles on the SNES. The game for me is pretty much a god send if you ask me especially the way I see it. This is because in a game of tradtional american style titles which was pretty much how it was for that era of gaming. Before the big Asian based boom came in this game had broken the mold to me. It also introduced me to a whole new genre of gaming and personally? I'd like to pay it forward and tell the whole world about how amazing this title is. So if you fancy playing a hidden gem within the SNES Library look no further than. "The Legend Of The Mystical Ninja" for Super Nintendo because it is a game most people definitely slept on. With that being said it's time to wake up and smell the Coffee ~Samurai
