Behind the Scenes of Army of Ghosts/Doomsday (Part 20)  

Excerpt from SFX (Sept 2014 when “The Doctor and Rose say farewell at Bad Wolf Bay in Doomsday” won 1st place in their 250 Greatest Moments in Sci-Fi, Horror, and Fantasy poll to celebrate their 250th issue):

SFX:  Revisionists would have you believe that Who was always a show with emotional impact, but barring a couple of companion departures that didn’t really become true until Russell T Davies.  His most heart-destroying contribution was this scene, in which a holographic projection of the Doctor talks to a tearful Rose on a Norwegian beach (actually Southerndown, South Wales), with the signal cutting out just before the slow-coach can declare, “I love you”.  It’s a moment everyone can identify with because, as Davies put it, “There’s an echo of every loss you’ve ever had.” We’ve all had to bid farewell to someone we care about even if it wasn’t forced upon us by the threat of universal destruction and this moment perfectly encapulates the agony of break-up.

Russell T Davies:  Thank you!  I’m not often speechless, but that’s quite astonishing. All I can remember about that day is everyone rushing like mad to get it finished because the tide was coming in.  Camille Coduri had to stand on wooden planks in case she sank.  But what a cast - David and Billie are simply magnificent.  All directed with joy, energy, and madness by Graeme Harper. I’m genuinely surprised that it means that much to people, after all this time, and thank you to everyone who voted.

David Tennant:  I remember worrying on the day we shot this that as I was actually a projection from inside the TARDIS my hair shouldn’t be blowing in the wind.  That seemed terribly important at the time and although we didn’t find a solution to it, it bothered me for weeks.  Then I saw the finished scene and of course all that matters is the end of the Doctor and Rose’s story.  Russell had weaved some glorious magic for two seasons and it all came together so perfectly in this scene that people still talk to me about it with misty eyes all these years later (and I suspect they always will.)  Murray Gold created some heart-stopping music that accentuates the misery and Billie is just breathtakingly good.  I feel very lucky to be standing on that beach, with my hair flying around, in amongst all these brilliant elements.  Whatever else I do and wherever else I end up, this will be a moment I will forever be proud to look back on.  Thanks for having us at number one.

"It's a bit smaller than mine, but 'Ah think Lucy's whole 'haughty brat' act really works to make up for that." Piper you can't just say that-

Rob’s Retro Review: They Live (1989)

I must admit that I’m a little shocked that I haven’t watched They Live years, or even decades ago. I’ve been a fan of professional wrestling for nearly 40 years, so when I heard that Roddy Piper was starring in a movie, my curiosity was piqued. However, it wasn’t enough to actually watch it. Don’t give me wrong. I’ve seen bits and pieces of They Live over the years, particularly the fight scene…

[that-blue-vault-dweller]

Companions favorite Disney movie?

A/N: Howdy, howdy, folks! I know it's been a while, but I hope y'all enjoy these! 🥰💙💛 I've been extremely busy and have sort of lost motivation for this fandom, but I'm going to try to play Fo4 soon and see if I can muster up some more motivation 😊 I still have some fanfic to write and some reactions to do and I've got to get my butt in gear!

Cait - Brave. It might seem like the obvious choice because, well... ginger twinsies.... But she loves it because of the constant action and the fact that Merida wields a sword and a bow while also riding a horse often at the same time. She also secretly sort of finds herself vicariously living through Merida and wishing she would have had a family like hers with parents that actually loved her.

Curie - Inside Out. It's sciency and presents a fun, creative way of examining the brain's functions. She would prefer that Disney be more realistic, but despite her slight disappointment, she also understands that it has to be presented in a child-friendly way that would keep a kid's attention. A close second for her would be Big Hero 6. Honey Lemon is her hero.

Piper - Zootopia. She finds herself very much relating to Judy Hopps most days. Just a girl in a big city and a big world with the chips stacked against her and hardly anyone on her side as she fights the good fight. She also enjoys Judy's optimistic, sarcastic, energetic spirit that she upkeeps in the face of adversity. It's something that Piper herself has done her best to maintain.

MacCready - Finding Nemo. As a concerned dad with a struggling young son of his own, he can relate to this movie greatly. Plus, a bonus is that he likes to mess with F!Sole about being Dory, which she never seems to appreciate nearly as much as he does most days.

Deacon - The Emperor's New Groove. All of the jokes and the lightheartedness of the overall movie is totally Deacon's style. He always quotes the movie afterward and drives everyone at HQ crazy with his rather awful impression of Yzma.

Codsworth - Flubber. He sort of is crushing on Weebo the robot assistant. Granted, he says he has no sort of manner in which to facilitate such feelings since he is not programmed to feel things like that, but he raves over her enough that everyone can see he clearly has some manner of feelings.

Hancock - A Bug's Life. He doesn't really know why, but it cracks him up every time he turns it on. Of course, he's usually high when he's watched it, but that's not the important part. The important thing is that it's anti-grasshoppers and after the stuff he saw at Nuka-World, that suits him just fine.

Danse - Toy Story. He would rather die than admit it, but he likes the movie for the odd reason that he heavily relates to the spaceman. His perspective on life and his soldier-like dedication to his mission is truly outstanding. He also strangely relates to him in many ways, but he's not quite sure why.

Preston - Brother Bear. He enjoys the deep feelings and meaning behind the film. It's such an underrated yet good film and it has a really great sound track as well. He also has a strange affinity for Toy Story because of Woody and his steady dependability.

Valentine - Old Yeller. It's traditional and it has that sense of old-timey living that Nick can appreciate. He also enjoys the deep emotional quality of the film and the fact that it's about a good, loyal, brave dog. Kind of like Dogmeat.

X6-88 - Maleficent. He enjoys her sense of humor and her sense of taking care of business and revenge when people do her wrong. However, his favorite non-Disney movie is The Matrix. He firmly believes the coursers' design is based on Morpheus and he secretly thinks he looks like him most out of the courser models.

Dogmeat - The Fox and the Hound. He loves nothing more than to howl along with the dog on there. Finally a movie that actually has a character that speaks his language! The dog also actually successfully befriends other animals in a way that Dogmeat never seems to do too well since they're always trying to stomp on him or kill him. He also is a fan of Bolt.

Strong - Monster's Inc. Firstly, Strong doesn't like movies. They're confusing and make no sense because what do you mean those things are not really there? They're standing right in front of him! But he likes Monster's Inc more than most because Mike Wazowski looks like a super-mutant. An ugly, one-eyed freak super-mutant, but nevertheless one of his kind.

[reality-detective]

Perhaps one of the toughest things we’ve had to live with during this time, is the frustration of not knowing what to do to turn things around.

They have done such a good job at making us feel powerless, that it seems impossible to defeat the evil that runs the world.

Like an invasive weed in a garden, they have crept and crawled and infiltrated every aspect of society; every institution, every industry, every major corporation, every media outlet, all of academia, everything… absolutely everything, is under their influence and control.

But it really all hangs by a thread, a thread of deception and engineered illusion.

They are the ones who are scared beyond imagination, they are the ones whose existence depends solely on our lethargic, hypnotic acquiescence, but the minute we open our eyes and say ‘no more’, their entire evil house of cards will come crashing down at the speed of light.

Remember, they are the ones that need us to survive, they are the ones that depend on our stupidity to maintain their power, they are the ones that are existentially scared and having to continually control everything we think, hear and see, for their own survival.

How exhausting and terrifying to be those evil few whose life depends on billions of us complying to their madness.

The question is simply how much longer will we follow the Pied Piper’s tune to our own demise? How much longer will people cling on to the false safety of their mental prisons? How much longer will we choose to live in denial rather than confront the crude reality? How many people will have to die ‘suddenly and unexpectedly’ for everyone to react? How many senseless wars will it take? How deep is the hypnotic trance that people are under?

Many of us realised that the only thing we could do to accelerate change was to assist in the awakening process; if the only way to destroy the matrix is to help ‘unplug’ people from it, then that’s what we would do.

Every seed of truth that you plant in your own network is extremely important.

This is a grass root movement, it’s success lies in the power each of us have to affect change in those around us, not just by word, but by example.

So when you find yourself feeling frustrated with the situation and wanting to do something about it, just know that every small act of defiance, every word of truth, every informed choice, every act of courage and every step you take in the right direction, is helping all of us get there.

Never underestimate the importance of who you are and what you stand for. That is your mission, your contribution and your greatest purpose, so make it count. 🤔

Bullet for Kath/Kirsten or awake for piper/Sole Survivor Alex. [This meme is so entertaining with the Matrix dashbaord]

fallout scenarios , always accepting , @kleinewahines .

" hey blue! you're finally awake. " piper breathes out when alex stirs. it's actually kind of surprising what piper's capable of when she's really trying to save a loved one or her own life. also , to be fair , alex is a lot lighter than she expected. they're held up in an old building , diamond city is probably only a mile away. there's just a stretch of land from here to around 400 feet away from diamond city that can be inhabited my either super mutants or raiders that want to try and take a stake of the nearly impenetrable city walls. walls that were like that because of people like her and nick. not the mayor.

piper's partially gloved hands actually take the woman's face in them , studying alex with another deep breath in.

" i thought i lost ya there , that took two stimpacks , all the sterile cloth i carry around and maybe some panicking. "

It was finally Spooky Day, as well as Piper’s 17th birthday. Chrissy prepped some ingredients before baking Piper a zombie cake.

After breakfast, everyone got into their costumes. Megan was an interstellar smuggler, Tess was Llamawoman, Chrissy was a water fairy, Luna was a witch, Piper was a pirate captain (she, Emily, and Hamuera dressed up as a pirate crew) and Cam wasn’t anyone specific but dressed like how she thought a character from the Matrix would dress. “I had to buy rubber pants for this and they were not easy to get into.” Cam said, grinning. “Well, you look amazing so it was worth it.” Piper said, checking Cam out and pulling her close to kiss her hand. “As pirate captain, I order you to kiss me.” She half joked. “Alright, if the captain decrees it.” Cam said in a playfully serious voice, and pulled Piper in for a quick kiss. Plus Piper gifted a rose to Cam, who gifted one back with a sweet message.

Also I decorated the family house for Spooky Day, and I’ve got to say I still love the spooky stuff pack decor so much. 😄

THEY LIVE: O Filme Mais RELEVANTE de Todos os Tempos | A Terrível Verdade que Ninguém Quer Enxergar

Por Cláudio Suenaga

They Live (Eles Vivem), escrito e dirigido por John Carpenter em 1988, elucida de forma nítida e perceptível a verdade sobre o mundo em que vivemos e quem realmente o controla.

O filme sobre a humanidade sendo manipulada para procriar e consumir sem pensar por uma raça de extraterrestres metacapitalistas repugnantes, foi categorizada na época como ficção. A esse respeito, o diretor John Carpenter comentou: "Inicialmente fomos forçados a promover o filme como uma fantasia, mas as criaturas com cara de caveira que usam o consumismo para nos transformar em gado obediente não sentem mais a necessidade de se esconder. Acho que todo mundo já resolveu por si mesmo a esta altura, ou simplesmente não dá a mínima."

Em seu Twitter em 27 de setembro de 2013, Roddy Piper afirmou: "They Live is a documentary!!"

Música: Desert Planet, de Quincas Moreira.

Le reflet de la société à travers les réseaux sociaux : une réflexion

« Quand nous livrons une partie de notre vie aux réseaux sociaux, cette trace risque d'être indélébile. »

Les réseaux sociaux.

Ah, il y en a des choses à dire sur le sujet, bonnes et mauvaises.

Beaucoup affirment qu'ils sont la cause du déclin des nouvelles générations, qu'ils ne font qu'accroître le mal contre lequel ils devaient servir; d'autres, qu'ils leur ont permis de voir la vie d'un nouvel œil et de sortir de leur zone de confort pour expérimenter et découvrir.

En un sens, énormément de personnes croient que ce qui s'affiche sur leurs écrans est un reflet de la société actuelle, complètement obnubilée par « le besoin d’être reconnu, d’être admiré par les gens autour de soi¹ », celui d'être « [stimulé], d’être au courant de tout ce qu’il y a de nouveau et d’innovateur² ».

Néanmoins, bien que certains utilisateurs qui se manifestent en ligne peuvent faire miroiter une forme de réalité à travers leurs commentaires, la vérité est tout autre.

Déjà, moins de trois personnes sur dix (29%) interviennent sur les réseaux sociaux pendant que les 71% restants se contentent de lire et de consommer sans piper mot. De ce fait, il est plus qu'erroné de clamer que la société entière (8,2 milliards d'habitants en 2024, donc un total de 2,38 milliards d'utilisateurs dits « actifs » sur les réseaux sociaux) est représentée par ces individus.

Ensuite, certes, plusieurs types de personnes malintentionnées s'amusent à créer le mal (majoritairement sous forme de cyberintimidation) et à accentuer la mauvaise humeur des masses (en provoquant des esclandres qui n'ont pas réellement lieu d'être), et, certes, ces besoins d'être reconnu - considéré - et stimulé sont une réplique d'un comportement bien réel.

Toutefois, il faut prendre en compte que, si ces gens le font sur les réseaux sociaux, c'est qu'ils n'ont peut-être pas la possibilité de le faire « dans la vraie vie ».

Parce que la société ne leur en donne pas l'occasion.

Les réseaux sociaux sont des lieux où il est possible de socialiser, de « tisser des liens au-delà du monde physique immédiat de [sa] famille, de [son travail] et de [ses] passe-temps³ », voire de simplement parler, de posséder une voix et d'être entendu.

Beaucoup affirment que les réseaux sociaux dupent, trompent, embobinent, « matrixent », et c'est vrai, mais la réalité le fait tout autant.

Les réseaux sociaux ne sont pas un reflet de la société, ils sont ce qu'ils sont : des plateformes numériques sur lesquelles on peut s'exprimer d'une façon dont on n'est pas forcément capable dans le monde tangible. Ils sont une autre voie, une autre porte qu'il est possible d'ouvrir pour se manifester, pour laisser sa trace (bonne ou mauvaise) et dire ce que l'on aimerait être ou devenir, ce que l'on aimerait faire ou obtenir, ce que l'on aimerait.

They have done such a good job at making us feel powerless, that it seems an almost impossible task to defeat the evil that runs the world.

They are the ones who are scared beyond imagination, they are the very few whose existence depends solely on our lethargic, hypnotic acquiescence, but the minute we open our eyes and say ‘no more’, their entire evil house of cards will come crashing down at the speed of lightning.

How exhausting and terrifying it must be to be those evil few whose life depends on billions of us dancing to their tune!

The question is simply how much longer will we follow the Pied Piper’s tune to our own demise? How much longer will people cling on to the false safety of their mental prisons?
