Donald Dunbar's Word of the Day for 4/28/9:

"Various"

by Melissa Brumer







[ed.: it's worth noting that in the first picture there the star is pooping. that is star poop]

"the communtwist"


instead of becoming "Socialist" let's become "Socialest" and change our money to something "less boring" (e.g. tadpoles will be hundreds and lice will be ones, tens will be tens but it will be Alexander Hamilton kissing William Howard Taft in a pale green heart)

"so that's cool for a couple minutes of work right? get a lifetime of pleasure"


1. Ugly!
-Man
--Abstract?
--Commentary?
-Sweater
--(That is incorrect)
2. Nice sweater!
-Um, yes
-I would wear that
--Even in the summer?
---In the pool?
----The pool filled up with daiquiri?
-Though I would not wear that
3. Lies!
-Winking involves closing eyelids
-Motive?
--Because he's ugly!
---Because he's got oatmeal face
4. Space-Age Background
-The future is now
--The old old is new

[ed.: When the pretty people are no longer able to compete with the television and the computer game and the synthetic music, advertisements will be populated only by imagined pretty people. When even the imagined pretty people can no longer compete with the creative force of the rest of humanity--when every ideal is exhausted and products seem dull, and lifeless--the incredibly ugly will populate the advertisements in a last-ditch effort  by Cyber-Madison Ave. to produce absolutely any sort of stimulation. It will, of course, be too little, too late. It is then the only desire left--the only thing anyone could conceive might bring them any stimulation--is to participate in the human conversation (i.e. art, sex, etc.).]

"i was born in the year of the jackal"


The issue I have with so-called "POLITICAL DECIDERS / DEBATERS" aka Bosses and Soldiers etc. (well, actually not those people but you know the people I am speaking of here) is that their solution to IRAQ (read: a weird piece of land with people in it) has more to do with people dressed up as ancient chinese dragons than any really sensible solution (for instance, aren't colors good at distracting people? could we fill up the whole middle east with technicolor dream coats? (but at what cost?) and moreover, when? For instance, instead of having people dress up in dragon costumes here (read: The United States of Amerrrrica) we should have them dress up in dragon costumes in the taliban, and have them celebrate freedom.)

Come on Iraq, you have free elections (free as in: ______ ) vote for chinese dragon costumes 2009 and/or 2010.

But of course who am I to tell a whole nation what to do?

"change you can believe in"



the first of the hive minds, called LOGOS (because it was from the time where still denotation was effective) issued this decree (concerning famines):

+++ +++ +++ === === === +++ +++ +++ === === === +++ +++ +++ === === ===

which of course meant that, as per usual, every node of its network was engaged in self-pleasure and propagation.

This message would have at one time been both meanin'ful and relevant.

See you, space-cowboy--

"kate on a train with a stick and hankerchief holding her poems and cat"

(she is thinking her poems very hard in this picture, not holding them)

"Building railraods demonstrated, too, both the problems in creating a system--junctions, signals, guages, placs for travellers to stay (not forgetting the ambushes now made possible)--and the particular American excitement of unifying a continent, a triumph recroded both in folklore and in the press."

"They have done more than anything achieved by former generations to modify the influence of time and space. Common and familiar instruments of our business and pleasure...they may be described, with literal truth, as the most striking manifestations of the power of man over the material order of the universe. The mightiest monuments of classical or pre-classical times are but feeble triumphs of human skill beside the work of the railway engineer, who has covered the face of the earth with iron roads, spanning valleys and piercing monuments, and traversed by fiery steeds fleeter than ever sped through poetic dream."

"...established principles which will give a greater impulse to civilization than it has ever received from any single cause since the Press first opened the gates of knowledge to the human species at large."

Twilight Movie Review





TWILIGHT

 

starring bella corta, mike greedy, mike sorino

 

plot summary: girl (bella) is kidnapped and used for purposes, then killed. jason (mike greedy) must kill robert downing (mike sorino) for revenge.

 

notable scenes:

  1. when girl (bella corta) is kidnapped her parents are killed with kitchen knives and pots etc. before her brother (jason aka mike greedy) gets home from a football game in which he was the hero (quarterback)
  2. when bella is raped by masked men (two men, one of whom is robert downing aka mike sorino) all she can think is “i wish jason were here and killed these men” but then she is killed by being strangled
  3. there is intense music in a number of scenes
  4. when jason (mike greedy) is going to kill robert downing he is holding a picture of his little sister (bella corta) and says “DO YOU REMEMBER HER” because he wants to make sure robert downing (mike sorino) knows why he is going to be killed (for revenge)

 

analysis:

  1. bella corta is very pretty and smart but she is not a great actress. when she was killed in the movie (as the girl, but i cannot remember her name if it was not bella) i thought it was alright because she was only crying instead of acting
  2. the best parts of the movie are the times it is most extreme
  3. the best part was when jason killed three people at once who were trying to stop him by taping them together with a grenade
  4. i never understand why so many people (especially men) will get together to do terrible crime
  5. bella corta is pretty in the way that she looks very young not like you would have on a poster, like she has a face not a bikini body
  6. mike greedy (jason, the main character) will stop at nothing for revenge, not even the law, which is what everyone would do if they were in this movie
  7. i rate this movie 8 out of 10 stars (minus two stars because some of the acting isn’t great, you can tell they are faking)
  8. i heard the movie was filmed in portland!!! it looked like it because of the rain and the green trees
  9. kidnapping, murder, rape are very serious subjects and they are all punished in this movie by the hero (jason) so this movie teaches good values (do not kidnap, murder, rape ANYONE because you will get KILLED)
  10. at one point when they were shooting guns nobody had trouble hearing even whispering, which is not realistic

 

rating: ********/10
