Hufflepuff BL boys that trigger my Slytherin-MUST-PROTECT-AT-ALL-COST instinct

Seriously, do not touch them, do not talk to them, do not approach them unless you want to give them all the love and hugs they deserve. Those are my sons, I have adopted all of them, and if someone makes them sad it’s on sight 🔪🔪

War God: A Compendium

Figured I have to finally make a post for A War God From Another World so that readers (mainly *I*) aren't going crazy with all the worldbuilding that's just become a monster to manage. This will get updated as the fic progresses (since I'm already brainstorming for the next major arc lol).

Cang Qiong

*Note: the previous generation of peak lords use 心 ("heart") for their titles.

Qing Jing Peak Lord - Jiang Xinqin - 蔣心琴 ("zither")

Bai Zhan Peak Lord - Wang Xinying - 王心櫻 ("cherry")

Qian Cao Peak Lord - Zhou Xinbei - 周心北 (“north")

Qiong Ding Peak Lord - Huang Xinwen - 黃心文 ("literature")

An Ding Peak Lord - Han Xinjing - 韓心精 (“refined")

Liu Qingge - Liu Kang* - 柳康 ("peaceful/healthy/bountiful")

Shang Qinghua - Shang Zhen - 尚真 ("genuine" lol)

Wei Qingwei - Wei Zhixin - 魏志信 ("purpose" and "trust")

Mu Qingfang - Mu Liwei - 木歷維 ("era" and "thought")

Qian He City Arc

Tang Wenzhao - 唐問曌 ("to ask" and "to illuminate/reflect")

Guo Lexin - 郭樂心 ("joyful heart")

Guo Shirong** - 郭实荣 ("truth" and "honorable")

Gongyi Meiyu - 公仪媄宇 (“beautiful” and “universe/roof”)

Tianlang-jun - “Wei Tian” - 魏天 (“sky”)

Other Side Characters

Fan Ping - 範平 ("peaceful")

Chu Zhouyi - 楚周義 ("cycle" and "justice")

Shuang’er / Shuang-jie / Madam Shuang - 霜儿 (“frost”)

Chen Huan’er - 陳焕儿 (“lustrous”)

Location Names

Qian He City - 千河城 (“thousand rivers”)

Jin Hua*** - 金花 (“golden flower”)

Luoyang**** - 洛陽 (“Luo (River)” and “sunny”)

* A bit inspired by Yang Kang (LotCH) in which in that novel, the protagonist Guo Jing and the antagonist Yang Kang were named from a poem referencing the Jingkang Incident (靖康), a historical event in the warring period between Jin and Song. Kang is also often coupled with jian in jiankang (健康), meaning “healthy.”

** Guo Shirong hasn’t been named directly in the text yet, but this is the name of the child ghost in the Qian He City arc.

*** LQG’s hometown, which isn’t too far from Huan Hua Palace but still within view of the Tian Gong Mountains.

**** Literally just ripped from Luoyang, the oldest city out of the Four Ancient Capitals. This is the de facto capital city in PIDW, since Airplane did pull some real locations for his worldbuilding (i.e. the Luo River) so therefore I say so because I can’t be bothered to wring the last of my creative juices to name places.

[atsuwiee]

hi request po ako sana ng enha as filo leading man in movies parang mga she's dating the gangster chu chu hsjshsjsjs take care and enha loves u

enhypen as filo leading men in movies!

-ˏˋ♥̩͙♥̩̩̥͙♥̩̥̩ ⑅ ⑅ ♥̩̥̩♥̩̩̥͙♥̩͙ˊˎ -ˏˋ♥̩͙♥̩̩̥͙♥̩̥̩ ⑅ ⑅ ♥̩̥̩♥̩̩̥͙♥̩͙ˊˎ

heeseung

best friend to lovers usual type

like yung tipong slowburn ganon (like the usual slowburn)

like ma rerealize lang nila in love sila sa isa't isa pagka tapos makipag break sa ibang tao (they'll just realize that they are in love with each other after breaking up with other people)

tas yung tipong nag de-deny siya na gusto nya best friend nya kasi may iba syang gusto (the usual denying that he likes his best friend because he likes someone else)

yeah then a few fights here and there before tHEY ACTUALLY GET TOGETHER AND ITS FRUSTRATING TO WATCH

jay

yung leading man na mayaman (the leading man who's rich)

like ceo rich rich

tas pagka kita sa jowa ni jay ayaw na agad ng pamilya niya (once jay shows his s/o his family does not already like them)

his mom might say "bibigyan kita ng 10,000 pesos para lang layuan mo anak ko" (i'll give you 10,000 pesos for you to get away from my son)

but that's not stopping him

basically like forbidden love

but of course with a happy ending lol

jake

sigh,,, i just see fake dating in him

nothing bad really

just those typical filo leads who want to make their ex jealous

"please this summer break lang wala kang gagawin kung di mag fake maging girlfriend kita-" ulol tas na in love nga ("please this summer break only, all you have to do is to be my fake girlfriend" and then he falls in love)

like he'll even make those fake dating rules and haha uno reverse card btch he was the one who broke those lol

(let's also add na mala conyo sya)

sunghoon

POPULAR BOY WBK

yes he is the most popular boy in school

like damn everyone loves him

probably some rivals to lovers type of stuff

do ya'll know the wattpad book his into her? yes that type of thing

iDK I JUST GET THAT VIBE

says he's all "i'll never date that girl, she isn't even my type" then the tables t u r n

sunoo

rivals to lovers (2)

sunoo's a bad btch yk, so there's no way people can touch him

mataray to the max sa mga ibang tao pero pag dating sa tao gusto niya di siya mataray (is sassy to the max to other people but when it comes to the person he likes, he isn't all sassy)

or maybe he is a few times, but nonetheless he has a soft spot for the person he has a crush on

though he'll deny this

is also frustrating to watch because they keep on fighting and won't get to the point

jungwon

ka-pair lang sa mga project noon, mag jowa na ngayon (was paired in a project before, and now they're dating)

yes that type of stuff

he's like kind to everyone

everyone likes him yk, and this is just unintentionally lol

like first time niya ma-in love sa isang tao he goes malfunctioning

"so san mo na meet true love mo?" (so where did you meet your true love?) "ha? true love? ka pair ko lang 'yon sa english project namin ano ba?" (ha? true love? she's just my pair for the english project, what are you saying?)

naging close dahil sa mga pair pair na yan, kaya na in love (became close because of frequent pairings, that's why he's in love)

also got attached so-

ni-ki

sigh (again),,, probably the typical bad boy

idk probably an enemies to lovers ??

"i'll hate you forever!" "the more you hate the more you love"

nagpapa kita ng affection sa paraan ng pam bu-bwiset (shows affection through the way of pissing of)

denies all his feelings

because he's just doing it for fun

definitely not for fun yo, he just fell in love and won't tell people

because he's edgy and he thinks love is stupid

Summer Movie Preview: From Black Widow to The Suicide Squad and Beyond

https://ift.tt/3fnRIQl

The summer movie season has returned. Finally. Once something we all just took for granted, like handshakes and indoor dining, a summertime season stuffed with pricy Hollywood blockbusters and cinematic escapism suddenly feels like a long lost friend. But, rest assured, the summer movie season is genuinely and truly here. It’s maybe a little later than normal, yet it’s still in time for Memorial Day in the States.

This is of course happy news since many of the big screen events of this year have been 12 months or more in the offing. A Quiet Place Part II was supposed to open two Marches ago, and In the Heights is opening almost an exact year to the day from its original release. They’re here now, as is an impressive assortment of new films. There are genre fans’ long lost superhero spectacles, with Black Widow and The Suicide Squad leading the pack (and Shang-Chi closing out the season unusually late in time for Labor Day weekend), and there are also horror movies like The Conjuring 3 and M. Night Shyamalan’s Old, aforementioned musicals, family adventures in Jungle Cruise, psychedelic Arthurian legends via The Green Knight, and a few legitimately original projects like Stillwater and Reminiscence. Imagine that!

So sit back, put your feet in the pool, or up by the grill pit, and toast with us the summer movie’s resurrection.

A Quiet Place Part II

May 28 (June 3 in the UK)

Fourteen months after its original release date, the first movie delayed by the pandemic is finally coming to theaters for Memorial Day weekend. And despite what some critics say (even our own), most of us would argue it’s worth the wait. As a movie about a family enduring after a global crisis that has left their lives in tatters, and marred by personal tragedy, A Quiet Place Part II hits differently in 2021 than it would have a year ago. And it’s undeniably optimistic view of humanity feels like a warm balm now.

But beyond the meta context, writer-director John Krasinski (flying solo as screenwriter this time) has engineered a series of intelligent and highly suspenseful set pieces which puts Millicent Simmonds’ Regan front and center. Also buoyed by subtle and affecting work by Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy, here as a neighbor they knew a few years and a lifetime ago, this is one worth dipping your toe back into cinema for, especially if you liked the first movie.

Cruella

May 28

We’ll admit it, we had the same initial skepticism you’re probably feeling about a Cruella de Vil origin story set in punk rock’s 1970s London. But put your cynicism aside, Disney’s Cruella is a decadent blast and the rarest of things: a live-action Disney remake that both honors its source material and does something creative with it. Neither a soulless scene-by-scene remake of a better animated film, or a lazy Maleficent like re-imagining, Cruella more often than not rocks, thanks in large part to its lead performance by Emma Stone.

Also a producer on the picture, Stone takes on the role of Cruella de Vil like it’ll be on an awards reel and absolutely flaunts the character’s madness and devilish charm. She also finds an excellent sparring partner via Emma Thompson, young Cruella’s very own Miranda Priestly. Once these two start their verbal battle at the end of the first act, the movie is elevated into an electric period comedy (with plenty of heavy handed period music). It’s a pseudo-thriller for all ages, enjoying some very sharp elbows for a kids movie.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It

June 4 (May 26 in the UK)

The latest big-screen adventure for real-life ghostbusters Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) sees the two drawn into the unusual case of the first ever U.S. murder trial where the defendant claimed he was innocent because he was possessed by a demon. This is the eighth movie in The Conjuring expanded universe—director Michael Chaves has already made a foray into this supernatural world with The Curse of La Llorona—and as with all the main Conjuring films, the hook is that it’s (very loosely) based on a true case that the Warrens were involved with.

Peter Safran and James Wan are back on board as producers, although with this being the first time Wan isn’t directing one of the main Ed and Lorraine investigations, we’re a little cautious about this return to the haunted museum.

In the Heights

June 11 (June 18 in the UK)

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s first Tony award winning musical is getting the proper big screen treatment in In the Heights. A full-fledged movie musical—as opposed to a taped series of performances, a la Disney+’s Hamilton—In the Heights is like a sweet summer drink (or Piragua) and love letter to the Latino community of New York City’s Washington Heights neighborhood.

The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and the Perils of Taking on a Real Life Murder

By Rosie Fletcher

Closer in spirit to the feel-good summertime joy of Grease than the narratively complex Hamilton, this is perfect multiplex escapism (which will also be on HBO Max if you’re so inclined). Directed by Crazy Rich Asians’ Jon M. Chu, In the Heights has a euphoric sense of movement and dance as it transfers Miranda’s hybrid blend of freestyle rap, salsa rhythm, and Caribbean musical cues to the actual city blocks the show was written about. On one of those corners lives Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), a bodega owner with big dreams. He’s about to have the summer of his life. You might too.

Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard

June 16 (June 21 in the UK)

You know Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is a throwback when even its trailer brings back the “trailer voice.��� But then the appeal of the 2017 B-action comedy, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, was its very throwback nature: a violent, raunchy R-rated buddy comedy that starred Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds, who exchanged quips as much as bullets between some genuinely entertaining stunts.

Hopefully the sequel can also be as much lowbrow fun as it doubles down on the premise, with Reynolds’ Michael Bryce now guarding Samla Hayek’s Sonia, the wife of Jackson’s Darius. All three are on a road trip through Italy as they’re chased by Antonio Banderas in what is sure to be a series of bloody, explosive set pieces. Probably a few “motherf***ers” will be dropped too.

Luca

June 18

Pixar Studios’ hit rate is frankly incredible. With each new film seemingly comes a catchy song, an Oscar nomination, and a flood of tears from anyone with a heart—and there’s no reason to believe that its next offering will be any different. Luca is a coming-of-age tale set on the Italian Riviera about a pair of young lads who become best friends and have a terrific summer getting into adventures in the sun. The slight catch is that they’re both sea monsters.

Pixar, Italian Style: Why Luca is Set in 1950s Italy

By Don Kaye

This is the feature directorial debut of Enrico Casarosa, who says the movie is a celebration of friendship with nods to the work of Federico Fellini and Hayao Miyazaki. The writers are Jesse Andrews and Mike Jones—Andrews is new to Pixar but has experience with coming-of-agers, having penned Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, while Jones co-wrote Soul. Jacob Tremblay and Jack Dylan Grazer voice the young boys (sea monsters)—13-year-old Luca and his older teenager friend Alberto—with Maya Rudolph as Luca’s sea monster mom. After a year of lockdown, this could be the summer movie we all need.

F9

June 25

You better start firing up the grill, because the Fast and Furious crew is finally ready to have another summer barbecue. And this time, it’s not only the folks whom Dom Toretto calls “mi familia” in attendance. The big new addition to F9 is 

John Cena as Jakob Toretto. As the long-lost little brother we didn’t know Vin Diesel’s Dom had, Jakob is revealed to be a superspy, assassin, and performance driver working for Dom’s arch-nemesis, Cypher (Charlize Theron). Everything the Family does together, Jakob does alone, as a one-man wrecking crew, and he’s coming in hot.

Fans will probably be happier, though, to see Sung Kang back as Han Seoul-Oh, the wheelman who was murdered in Fast & Furious 6, and then pretty much forgotten in The Fate of the Furious when his killer got invited to the cookout. It’s an injustice that brought veteran series director Justin Lin back to  the franchise to resurrect the dead. So it’s safe to assume he won’t be asking Cypher to bring the potato salad.

The Forever Purge

July 2 (July 16 in the UK)

We know what you’re thinking: Didn’t The Purge: Election Year end the Purge forever? That or “are they really still making these?” The answer to both questions is yes. Nevertheless, here we are with The Forever Purge, a movie which asks what happens if Purgers just, you know, committed extravagant holiday crime on the other 364 days of the year? You get what is hopefully the grand finale of this increasingly tired concept.

The Tomorrow War

July 2

Hear me out: What if it’s like The Terminator but in reverse? That had to be the pitch for this one, right? In The Tomorrow War, instead of evil cyborgs time traveling to the past to kill our future savior, soldiers from the future time travel to the past to enlist our current best warrior and take him to a world on the brink 30 years from now.

It’s a crazy premise, and the kind of high-concept popcorn that one imagines Chris Pratt excels at. Hence Pratt’s casting as Dan, one of the best soldiers of the early 21st century who’ll go into the future to stop an alien invasion. The supporting cast, which includes Oscar winner J.K. Simmons and Yvonne Strahovski, Betty Gilpin, and Sam Richardson, is also nothing to sneeze at.

Black Widow

July 9

The idea of making a Black Widow movie has been around since long before the Marvel Cinematic Universe first lifted into the sky on Tony Stark’s repulsors. The character has been onscreen for more than a decade now, and Marvel Studios has for too long danced around making a solo Widow, at least in part due to the machinations of Marvel Entertainment chairman Ike Perlmutter.

Upcoming Marvel Movies Release Dates: MCU Phase 4 Schedule, Cast, and Story Details

By Mike Cecchini and 1 other

But the standalone Black Widow adventure is here at last, and it now serves as a sort-of coda to the story of Natasha Romanoff, since we already know her tragic fate in Avengers: Endgame. Directed by Cate Shortland (Berlin Syndrome, Lore), the movie will spell out how Natasha (Scarlett Johansson) kept herself busy between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, primarily with a trip home to Russia to clear some of that red from her ledger.

There, she will reunite with figures from her dark past, including fellow Red Room alumnus Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), Russian would-be superhero Alexei Shostakov, aka the Red Guardian (David Harbour), and Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz), another survivor of the Black Widow program and a maternal figure to Natasha and Yelena.

It’s a chance to say goodbye to Nat and see Johansson as the beloved Avengers one more time. But this being Marvel, we suspect that the studio has a few tricks up its sleeve and in this movie about the future of Phase 4.

Space Jam: A New Legacy

July 16

In the annals of synergistic branding, Space Jam: A New Legacy might be one for the record books. A sequel to an older millennials’ 1990s touchstones—the thoroughly mediocre Michael Jordan meets Bugs Bunny movie, Space Jam—this sequel sees LeBron James now trapped in Looney Tunes world… but wait, there’s more! Instead of only charmingly interacting with WB’s classic stable of cartoon characters, King James will also be in the larger “WB universe” where the studio will resurrect from the dead every property they own the copyright to, from MGM’s classic 1939 The Wizard of Oz to, uh, the murderous rapists in A Clockwork Orange.

… yay for easter eggs?

Old

July 23

Though he might be accused of being a little bit hit-and-miss in the past, the release of a new M. Night Shyamalan movie should always be cause for celebration. Especially one with such a deeply creepy premise. Based on the graphic novel Sandcastle by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters, Old sees a family on vacation discover that the beach they are on causes them to age extremely rapidly and live out their entire lives in a day.

This is surely perfect fodder for Shyamalan, who does high-concept horror like no one else. The cast is absolute quality, featuring Gael García Bernal, Hereditary’s Alex Wolff, Jo Jo Rabbit’s Thomasin McKenzie, Phantom Thread’s Vicky Krieps, Little Women’s Eliza Scanlen, and many more. The trailer is pleasingly disturbing too as children become teenagers, a young woman is suddenly full-term pregnant, and adults seem to be decaying in front of their own eyes. Harrowing in the best possible way.

Snake Eyes

July 23 (August 20 in the UK)

Snake Eyes will finally bring us the origin story of the G.I. Joe franchise’s most iconic and beloved member. Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians) stars in the title role, with Warrior’s Andrew Koji as his nemesis—conflicted baddie (and similar fan fave) Storm Shadow. Expect a tale heavy on martial arts badassery, especially with The Raid’s Iko Uwais on board as the pair’s ninja master. Samara Weaving will play G.I. Joe staple Scarlett after her breakout a few years ago in Ready or Not, while Úrsula Corberó has been cast as Cobra’s Baroness. Robert Schwentke (The Time Traveler’s Wife, Red) directs.

Jungle Cruise

July 30

Jungle Cruise director Jaume Collet-Serra is best known for making slightly dodgy actioners starring Liam Neeson (Unknown, Non-Stop, Run All Night) and half-decent horror movies (Orphan, The Shallows), so exactly which direction this family adventure based on a theme park ride will take remains to be seen.

Borrowing a page and premise from Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn in The African Queen (1951), Jungle Cruise stars the ever-charismatic Dwayne Johnson as a riverboat captain taking Emily Blunt’s scientist and her brother (Jack Whitehall) to visit the fabled Tree of Life in the early 20th century. Like the ride, the gang will have to watch out for wild animals along the way.

Unlike the ride, they’re competing with a German expedition team who are heading for the same goal. A solid supporting cast (Jesse Plemons, Édgar Ramírez, Paul Giamatti, Andy Nyman) and a script with rewrites by Michael Green (Logan, Blade Runner 2049) might mean Disney has another hit on its hands. Either way, a lovely boat trip with The Rock should be diverting at worst.

The Green Knight

July 30 (August 6 in the UK)

There have been several major Hollywood reimaginings of Arthurian legends in the 21st century. And every one of them has been thoroughly rotten for one reason or another. Luckily, David Lowery’s The Green Knight looks poised to break the trend with a trippy, but twistedly faithful, interpretation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

Dev Patel stars as Sir Gawain, a chivalrous knight in King Arthur’s court who takes up the challenge of the mysterious Green Knight (The Witch’s Ralph Ineson under mountains of makeup): He’ll swing a blow and risk receiving a returning strike in a year’s time. Gawain attempts to cheat the devil by cutting his head clean off, yet when the Green Knight lifts his severed head from Camelot’s floors, things start to get weird. As clearly one of A24’s biggest visual fever dreams to date, this is one we’re highly anticipating.

Stillwater

July 30 (August 6 in the UK)

The Oscar winning-writer director behind Spotlight, Tom McCarthy, returns to the big screen with a fictional story that feels awfully similar to real world events. In this film, Matt Damon plays Bill, a proud father who saw his daughter Allison (Abigail Breslin) go abroad to study in France. After she’s accused of murdering her roommate by local authorities, the deeply Southern and deeply Oklahoman father must travel to a foreign land to try and prove his daughter’s innocence.

It obviously has some parallels with the Amanda Knox story but it also looks like a potentially hard hitting original drama with a talented cast. Fingers crossed.

The Suicide Squad

August 6 (July 30 in the UK)

You might have seen a Suicide Squad movie in the past, but you’ve never seen James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. With a liberating R-rating and an old school vision from the Guardians of the Galaxy director—who likens this to 1960s war capers, such as The Dirty Dozen or Where Eagles Dare—this Suicide Squad is absolutely stacked with talented actors wallowing in DC weirdness. One of the key players in this is Polka-Dot Man, another is a walking, talking Great White Shark, voiced by Sylvester Stallone. The villain is a Godzilla-sized starfish from space!

What to Expect from the Candyman Reimagining

By David Crow

So like it’s namesake, there’s probably a lot of characters who aren’t going to pull through this one. Even so, we can rest easy knowing that Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn will be as winsome than ever, and the likes of Idris Elba and John Cena will add some dynamic gravitas to the eccentric DC Extended Universe.

Free Guy

August 13

Perhaps pitched as The Truman Show for the video game age, Free Guy stars Ryan Reynolds as an easygoing, happy-go-lucky “Guy” who discovers… he’s a video game NPC living inside the equivalent of a Grand Theft Auto video game. This might explain why the bank he works at keeps getting robbed all the time. But as a virtual sprite who’s developed sentiency, he just might be able to win over enough gamers to not shoot him, and make love not war.

It’s an amusing premise, and hopefully director Shawn Levy can bring to it the same level of charm he achieved with the very first Night at the Museum movie.

Respect

August 13 (September 10 in the UK)

Before her passing in 2018, Aretha Franklin gave her blessing to Jennifer Hudson to play the Queen of Soul. Now that musical biopic is here with Hudson hitting the same high notes of the legend who sang such standards as “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman,” “Think,” “I Say a Little Prayer,” and of course “Respect.”

The film comes with a lot of expectation and a lot of pedigree, with Forest Whitaker and Audra McDonald in the cast. Most of all though, it comes with that rich musical library, which will surely take center stage. And if movies like Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman have taught us anything, it’s that moviegoers love when you play the hits.

Reminiscence

August 20 (August 18 in the UK)

Lisa Joy is one of the most exciting voices on television today. One-half of the creative team behind Westworld, Joy steps into her own with her directorial debut (and as the solo writer) in Reminiscence, a science fiction film with a reliably knotty premise.

Hugh Jackman plays Nick Bannister, a man who lives in a dystopian future where the oceans have risen and the cities are crumbling. In a declining Miami, he sells a risky new technology that allows you to relive your past (and possibly change it, at least fancifully?). But when he discovers the lost love of his life (Rebecca Ferguson) is cropping up in other peoples’ memories, which seem to implicate her in a murder, well… things are bound to start getting weird. We don’t know a whole lot more, but we cannot wait to find out more.

Candyman

August 27

Announced back in 2018, this spiritual sequel to Bernard Rose’s 1992 original is one of the most exciting and anticipated movies on the calendar. Produced by Jordan Peele and directed by Nia DaCosta, the film takes place in the present day and about a decade after Chicago’s Cabrini-Green housing projects have been torn down. Watchmen’s Yahya Abdul-Mateen II plays an up-and-coming visual artist who moves to the now-gentrified area with his partner and is inspired by the legend of Candyman, an apparition with a hook for a hand, to create new work about the subject. But in doing so, he risks unleashing a dark history and a new wave of violence.

Tony Todd, the star of the original movie, will also reprise his role in a reboot that aims to inspire fear for only the right reasons.

The Beatles: Get Back

August 27

Director Peter Jackson thinks folks have a poisoned idea about the Beatles in their final days. Often portrayed as divided and antagonistic toward one another during the recordings of their last albums, particularly Let It Be (which was their penultimate studio recording and final release), Jackson insists this misconception is influenced by Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s 1970 documentary named after the album.

So, after going through the reams of footage Lindsay-Hogg shot but didn’t use, Jackson has crafted this new documentary about the album’s recording which is intended to paint a fuller (and more feel-good) portrait of the band which changed the world. Plus, the music’s going to be great… 

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

September 3

The greatest fighter in Marvel history finally hits the big screen with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Simu Liu (Kim’s Convenience) takes on the title role of a character destined for a bright future in the MCU. Marvel fans might note that the “Ten Rings” of the title is the same organization that first appeared all the way back in Iron Man, and Tony Leung will finally bring their villainous leader, The Mandarin, to life. Awkwafina of The Farewell and Crazy Rich Asians fame also stars. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Short Term 12), this should deliver martial arts action unlike anything we’ve seen so far in the MCU.

Koo Energy is a health tech company located in Yio Chu Kang, Singapore. They attempt to treat physical and mental health in children and adults. They use organic cotton with sleep therapy, distilled water and infrared rays. It claims to treat anxiety, behavior, detoxification, response, sleep, speech, temperament and toileting. They believe the cause of mental and physical issues is the accumulation of heavy mets in the body, especially the head. They claim that their treatments promote cell regeneration. "The human body’s ability to replace worn out cells with shiny new ones is key to the long lifespans we’re so used to. There are a couple of things we keep all our lives, like the visual cortex, but almost everything else wears out and gets replaced, at least for part of our lives. And some things, like our hair and nails, just grow and grow and grow.We’ve gathered together scientists’ estimates of how quickly different types of cells grow. Many of these ages have been established using a technique called bomb-pulse dating, which uses the traces of atomic radiation we each carry to determine how old cells are."They offer autism and adhd seminars as well. There is very little information available about the company Koo Energy. Koo Energy's Belief About AutismThey believe that autism is an advanced and more complicated form of ADHD. They believe that toxic heavy metals are present at higher levels in the midline cerebral canal and gathered in uneven layers. They believe it all has to do with the amount of heavy metals in the canal and in what positions they are accumulated. With Autism, the additional layers of mercury interfere even more greatly with metaphysical and electrical energy communications trying to cross the canal. They say exposure to mercury and other heavy metals cause autism. They do not come out and say vaccines cause autism BUT all the details of the anti vaxxer rhetoric is there. Koo Energy believes in order to cure ADHD and Autism, they must:provide glucose to the brainflush out heavy metals and other toxinsheal brain tissuecalm the mindsupport healthy neuron signal transmissionstrengthen central nervous systemTypes of Reactions They disclose. This means "it's working":Mild:constant fartconstipatoncoughdark eye circleear dischargeeye tearingmouth ulcerrunning nosestomach acheweight gain/lossModerate:acne of face or neckbad breathbody odorbruises of the back or limbschest tightnesseczemamucus dischargemuscle painnight sweatpimples on back or chestwounds on back or limbsIntense:blood dischargediarrheafevernose bleedsred bumpsvomitingTypes of TreatmentSleep therapy with organic cottonKoo energy believes all mental and physical health issues can be healed through sleep. The extra energy with boost the self healing ability. They believe that batches of heavy metals in the head are discharged into the blood, rounds of detoxification symptoms with appear one after another in order to "purge out heavy metals from the body." They say some children take 6-12 months to fully detoxify. Some are longer.  They claim once heavy metals have been cleared from the "midline canal" with koo energy sleep therapy, learning is possible. They have the slogan "Health issues? Just sleep." Sleep therapy includes the assessment, koo energy healing mat and the consultation.  They don't sell the healing mat separately because the assessment gives you customer their opinion of their health and "discuss the healing journey ahead." The healing mat is made of organic cotton. They say the purpose of the intensive consultation is detoxification. This requires "your management." A team of consultants keep track of the clients progress. The consultations take several months to complete. What is Organic Cotton?Organic cotton is cotton that is grown wihtout using synthetic chemicals as pesticides or as fertilizers. This method promotes biodiversity and biological cycles. In the United States, cotton grown at plantations that meet the requirement of the National Organic Programme (NOP), US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is considered organic. Organic Cotton has no genetic difference from inorganic cotton. The only difference is chemicals being used or not being used. That is it. There is no healing benefit. It's a good fiber for textiles. THAT IS IT. Koo Energy's proof is growing beans on a regular mat opposed to their healing mat. It is unknown the growing conditions for the beans and how well controlled the environment is. This has no scientific value. Far Infrared RayThe far infrared ray is the same infrared radiation used in infrared saunas. Several studies they link on their website showing it is the same as sauna infrared. Koo energy calls it the ray of light. They claim it:oscillates water moleculesproduces gentle heatincreases skin temperatureexpands micro capillariespromotes blood circulationimproves metabolismeliminates body waste, toxins and heavy metalsassimilate nutrientsactivates cell function regenerates cells. What infrared radiation actually does:Infrared heaters emit light experienced as radiant heat. It is absorbed by the surface of the skin. These saunas heat the body primarily by conduction and convection from the heated air and by radiation of the heated surfaces in the sauna room. Because of this, the infrared sauna isn't an actual sauna by Finnish sauna societies. This is because of the application of the infrared electromagnetic field spectrum to the human body.According to the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP), the risks of Infrared therapy are:thermal injury, an injury can be present even if pain is not felthyperpigmentationscalingtelangiectasias (widened tiny blood vessels are visible on the skin)Reduced DNA repair efficiencyCan promote skin cancer initiated by other triggersThickening of the skinRetina damageEye lens damage, leading to cataractsHyperthermia (core body temperature is too high)Water HealingWater healing is the belief that drinking high energy water will promote healing. They assess the energy level with a dowsing rod. A clockwise rotation means a positive reading. A counterclockwise rotation means a negative reading. Each turn of the dowsing rod is an energy level. What is Dowsing?Dowsing is where a person walks over land while holding two L shaped rods in their hands parallel to each other and when they walk over a patch of underground water, the rods magically cross. This technique was invented over 450 years ago. It was probably thought of as witchcraft. Another name for this practice is "water witching." In modern day and after the development of the of the scientific method, it is understood that the phenomenon is caused by the ideomotor effect. This is the same effect that makes the pointer on a Ouija board move without anyone touching it. This effect is when just the act of thinking of something causes muscles to move seemingly "on their own" or "reflexively" without consciously deciding to move. Energy Water Ball:This is put in the distilled water to "increase energy." It produces infrared rays that cause resonance vibration. "The resonance is transmitted to clusters of water particles.This effect causes the gradual separation of individual molecules of H2O, thus producing de-clustered water, also known as koo energy Water.​Due to the nano size, koo energy Water penetrates into each cell, providing hydration even to deep layers of skin. This facilitates detoxification of cells, thereby stimulating their regeneration and auto-regulation. This enhances skin renewal and strengthens its natural defence mechanism.Drinking koo energy Water can instantly hydrate the body, relieving symptoms of dehydration that may include tiredness, headaches, and stiff joints."The claimed benefits:penetrates into cells due to nano sized clusterfacilitates detoxification of cellsstimulates cell regeneration and auto regulationenhances skin renewal and strengthens its natural defense mechanismprovides hydration even to deep layers of skinrelieves symptoms of hydration including sore throat, tiredness, headaches and stiff jointsWhat is Distilled Water?The composition of water varies widely with local geological conditions. Groundwater and surface water is never pure water. Water contains small amounts of gases, minerals and organic matter of natural origin. Distilled water is water almost or completely free of dissolved minerals as a result from distillation, deionization, membrane filtration, electrodialysis or other technology. Distilled water is not appropriate for consumption because:demineralized water is highly aggressive and if untreated, its distribution through pipes and storage tanks would not be possible. The aggressive water attacks the water distribution piping and leaches metals and other materials from the pipes an associated plumbing materials. Distilled water does not taste goodPreliminary evidence showed that some substances in water could have beneficial effects on human health. The adverse effects of consuming distilled water are:direct effects on the intestinal mucous membranes, metabolism and mineral homeostasis or other body functionslittle or no intake of calcium and magnesium from low mineral waterlow intake of other essential elements and microelementsloss of calcium, magnesium and other essential elements in prepared food. possible increased dietary intake of toxic metals. Energy level of each type of water: The energy measurement has no scientific basis as explained above. The energy of distilled water from a water distiller is +53. The energy of distilled water from water distiller with koo energy ball (sitting in the water for 5 minutes) is +93. Energy of distilled water from water distiller with koo energy ball (sitting in the water for 1 hour) is +205. Energy of bottled distilled water is +35.Energy of bottled distilled water with koo energy ball for one hour is +108. Energy of tap water is -0.4Energy of tap water with koo energy ball for 10 minutes is +5.1.Energy of brand k ionized alkaline water is +13. Tried to make contactWhen I tried to make contact to ask them some questions, this came up:message that a consult was not available. Sources:https://ift.tt/393aZ5Zhttps://ift.tt/315nslohttps://ift.tt/3rb0bZVhttps://ift.tt/310hoKghttps://ift.tt/394K6yGhttps://ift.tt/2NI11Q9
