…..I don’t know who said what.….because everyone is screaming right now..…and I don’t know what to believe…..they said…..some unnamed producer said this…..via email to the Chairman….. “Films with black actors don’t perform well because international audiences are racists”…..I assume he used Denzel as an example..…because The Equalizer didn’t do well overseas…..ok,……first of all….here’s a reply to that from a European.….. “We don’t know who is deciding what should and should not be shown in the cinema over here or how long. Maybe some aren’t shown here because they don’t make enough money or maybe they don’t want some movies from the States shown here. And now they want to put this racist issue over here in Europe when they don’t know how to handle it back there?…..Bullshit!”…..has it ever occurred to Hollywood…..that the Europeans just don’t like the crap you’re putting out?…..and as for black actors/films…..they’re here one day…..and gone the next….Spike Lee….two days tops…..Tyler Perry…..never!…..and it’s not only black films which don’t make it over here…..lots of American films either bomb…..or don’t come…..and many come out on DVD before hitting the cinema…..to tell you the truth…..I’d rather watch international films……71 Into The Fire/The Viral Factor (S. Korea)……Ajami/The Lemon Tree (Israel)……Once Were Warriors (New Zealand)…..No One Killed Jessica/My Name Is Khan (Bollywood).….As It Is In Heaven/and all The Dragon Girl ones (Sweden)…..A woman In Berlin/Gegen die Wand/Run Lola Run/The Lives of Others/Joyeux Noel (Germany).….The Orphanage/Pans Labyrinth (Spain)……Tell No One/The Unknown Woman/Farinelli/22 Bullets/Intouchables/The Women on the 6th Floor/Point Blank/District 13/B13 (France)……Malena (Italy)…..Never Let Me Go/One Day/The Man Who Sued God/The Wind That Shakes the Barley/The Magdalene Sisters (England)……and that’s just to name a few…..therefore,…..your claim that the international market is racist…..is wrong……there are many films produced abroad which include a multitude of different actors…..maybe you need to stop making such a shitty product!
REMEMBER THE MASSACRE AT WOUNDED KNEE…..On December 29th, 1890…..the U.S. Seventh Cavalry had nothing else to do…..so they decided to slaughter over 300 men…..women..…and children of the Lakota (Sioux) nation…..on the Pine Ridge reservation community at Wounded Knee…..the Lakota were travelling under a white flag…..the 21 soldiers who engaged in this slaughter…..were awarded the Medal of Honor….they said 25% of their fellow soldiers…..were killed by their fellow soldiers…..March 16th, 1968…….Mai Lai massacre….Army troops killed between 347 to 500 innocent Vietnamese civilians…..no Medal of Honors awarded…..got a minute?……read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown…..I’ve bought the book at least 6 times…..because I keep giving it away to friends.
SEE WHAT ONE WOMAN DID WHEN SHE DISCOVERED HER HUSBAND’S AFFAIR WITH HER TWIN SISTER…..Oh she got them good…..wifey rolled up into the parking lot…..walked over to the car…..bang on the window…..both of them jump out of the car…..wifey jumped in…..pulled off…..and left them both.….standing butt-naked in the parking lot…..people were taking pictures and videos like crazy and laughing…..when wifey got home…..she snatched up the phone…..called a lawyer.….and filed!
PROPOSED BILL WOULD REQUIRE WOMEN TO ASK MEN’S PERMISSION TO HAVE AN ABORTION…..Man that is so Draconian…..it’s appalling…..State Rep. Rick Brattin came up with this idea…..the bill has exceptions…..rape victims and to protect the life of the mother.….they get a pass.….now…..domestic violence situations are not exempt from having to ask the father’s permission…..here’s his reasoning….. “What does that have to do with the child’s life….just because it’s an abusive relationship, does that mean the child has to die?”…..he also agrees with former congressman…..Todd Akin…..who said,….. “Women who are victims of “legitimate rape” have mechanisms in their bodies that prevent them from getting pregnant”…….now don’t get me wrong.….I’m not an abusive or aggressive person……really I’m not……but I really want to beat the shit out of this guy.
WORLD FIRST: MAN CONTROLS TWO PROSTHETIC ARMS WITH HIS MIND……He isn’t the first to control robotic limbs with his mind……but this technique is new enough that dual control has never been tried before.….he underwent a surgery called muscle re-innervation…..it redirects nerves which once controlled his limbs.….to interact with the prosthetics…..then he trained on working with viral models as a pattern on a computer…..while recognition learned how to apply signals from his brain to his intended movements…..John Hopkins researchers fitted him with a personalized socket to hold the prostheses to his body and translate the mental controls.….once the robotic limbs are attached…..he performed a variety of two-handed tasks…..and became the first person to even manipulate two independent arms with his mind at the same time…..Cool…..very Robocop!
SUPREME COURT: POLICE MAY VIOLATE YOUR RIGHTS IF THEY HAVE A “MISTAKEN UNDERSTANDING” OF THE LAW…..This has got to be.…. “Today’s Friday Morning Joke”….right?….last time I checked….if anyone should have an..… “understanding of the law”…..it’s them……I guess ignorance is no excuse for wrongdoing…..unless you’re a cop!
EX MACHINA – CREATING ARTIFICIAL CONSCIOUSNESS…..This is a new film coming out….so I decided to watch the trailer…..and what I read in the beginning…..scared the hell out of me….. “To erase the line between man and machine is to obscure the line between man and God!”
