flatland

Flatland is a two-dimensional universe occupied by living geometric figures - squares, triangles, circles, etc. A Square, Attorney At Law, finds himself in the middle of two upheavals: the rise of martial law by the circular leadership of Flatland, and the arrival of A Sphere, CEO Of Messiah, Incorporated, a creature from a hitherto-unknown third dimensional world. Raises a few questions like out of the whole book and movie why are the woman invisible. I understand that the book was made in the 1800’s so woman’s rights weren’t around yet but still why have possible characters just out of the picture completely. Much like are world both 2d and 3d world are stuck by are and no one thinks that there is anything higher than them shouldn’t we question what’s true and what is fake in just about everything. So I don’t understand why everything happens here. Although it is interest that people act in this movie much like they would in real life. As in everyone thinks that they’re the best until proven otherwise like with other beings aliens to us may think that we are in fearer and we would look at them and think the same thing. 

 

cult films

A cult film is characterized by its active and lively communal following. Highly committed and rebellious in their appreciation, cult audiences are frequently at odds with cultural conventions – they prefer strange topics and allegorical themes that rub against cultural sensitivities and resist dominant politics. Cult films transgress common notions of good and bad taste, and they challenge genre conventions and coherent storytelling. Among the techniques cult films use are intertextual references, gore, loose ends in storylines, or the creation of a sense of nostalgia. Often, cult films have troublesome production histories, colored by accidents, failures, legends and mysteries that involve their stars and directors. In spite of often-limited accessibility, they have a continuous market value and a long-lasting public presence.

So cult films have a place to make money and build up on a story rather than other movies because cult films often lead the loose ends. Making the viewer question the film which can really bring up important topics if you make the shots right. In some cases their guilty pleaser movies which is a movie that is bad and you knows it’s bad but you like it anyway.

Presintation on Bullshit

Almost all media now seems to be bending the truth in some aspect or another. For example did you hear that Ohio has plans to arm the homeless or congressmen taking children hostage?  Did you believe them? No, because you’re not a goddamn moron. But the media did; at dozens of respectable outlets, hack journalists wrote up those bullshit stories and passed them off as ‘news’. Which is what the news is feeding us all the time does everyone remember Cecil the lion was killed well earlier the same day a gunmen killed four marines at their base but the lion was much more important than the soldiers that got killed. The places we see Bullshit the most is in politics. The political candied says all the things that you agree with but is ever going to get around to honor what he said not really. The worst part is that the news media is actually buying into this crap that common since tells us its bull. I guess when it comes to the news stories that aren’t important or need to be stated are the ones that get the most people questioning life. Which is why when watching the news make sure you are getting the full story and not just part of the story.

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi OK the final until the new movie comes out this December Them empire is trying to build a new Death Star twice as big because the last one wasn’t bad enough. It’s also twice as powerful as the last one. It goes with saying the bigger they come the harder they fall.  Han is still in carbonate but in retro spec he is still just a prisoner of Jabba the Hutt, and Princess Leia soon finds herself in the Jabba the Hutts hands. Luke Skywalker, aided by C-3PO and R2-D2, makes his way into Jabba's palace, hoping to secure his friends' freedom. But the Hutt has no intention of doing so and tries to kill them all it ends bad for Jabba because no matter what happened it was going to end bad although I hate how Boba went out it I felt like he should of gone out better than being eaten but that’s beside the point. After escaping from Jabba and the sands of Tatooine, they regroup with the Rebel fleet, which is massing for an counter attack against the new satellite battle station at Endor. Lando Calrissian is pressed into action to lead the Rebel fighter attack, while Han is put in charge of a group of soldiers to take out the shield generator protecting the Death Star. However, Luke surrenders to Vader's soldiers on Endor, to see if he can bring back the good in his father Luke senses his father confliction he is ready to fight for good but not without fighting Luke first. The emperor planed for this attack and made sure the base stayed operational. But they he didn’t expect his ships to get attacked and one by one get knocked out although he isn’t worried about it he has Luke right where he wants him. It took time but Han was able to destroy the satellite and get the fighters to start swarming the Death Star. It wasn’t until Luke was getting attacked by the emperor is when his father took out the emperor by throwing him down in to a hole. Which shows that Vader was still good and Died a Jedi rather than a Sith.
