. . .however, I felt compelled to watch the movie Atonement.

T'was my first time, watching the film, which I found to be heart-wrenchingly sad.

The beautiful thing about films, is when the writer's of the script and the actors are so
damn good at their performance, that it's convincing enough to have you despise certain
characters for their behavior. Makes me miss writing.

I'll be so happy when I can afford a new desktop, so I can complete the novel I started
back in 2010.

The one thing I truly enjoyed in this film, was the bassoon. Gawd, I f*cking love that
instrument. There's something so haunting and enchanting about that sound in a
love story. It's foreboding. It's like you can sense impending tragedy. Wasn't enough
to tip me off what was to come.

I felt it would be more like the movie The Piano, which has so much moody bassoon
compositions in it. Now, THAT is one of my favorite movies.

I adore Holly Hunter. She was fabulous in that movie, and so funny in Home For The
Holidays; which is the best movie anyone from a dysfunctional family could appreciate.
It's not actually funny to be in one, and to experience the anguish of bullshit that those
who you grow to trust can do. No one on Earth can wound you deeper than family,
because they know all your weaknesses and buttons. However, that movie paints
a comical picture of a family riddled with issues, and people that genuinely hate
each other - well, at least one of them does. The writers and acting was brilliant
on that one too.

Eh, it's 5:34 now. I should go crawl in my hammock, and softly sway to sleeping
in my striped cocoon of dreams.

I have decided to jump into the horror genre. There are a lot of good ones out there, but there are also some VERY boring horror films.

Let's start with the good ones:

The Alien franchise! The movies that cemented my love for the horror genre! Absolutely fantastic movies, that really deserve a place in history. Claustrophobic, disgusting and so amazing, with some kills that will make you squirm! Collective score: 10/10

The Predator franchise! I remember seeing the original with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and once I saw that sports hunter in the flesh, I was sold! I even liked the latest one, which was hated all around. They are making a new one, which I am very excited about! Collective score: 10/10

The Fear Street trilogy. The best horror of 2021, by far! The first film takes place in 1994, and it's very much a Scream homage, which I love! The kills are brutal and messy. One kill this one made me go "Oh damn, wow! Awesome!". It has just what a slasher needs: blood, gore and a well crafted story. The second one takes place in 1978, and it's very much a Friday the 13th film, which manages to be itself throughout, which I love. The kills are again bloody and brutal. Some might even say savage. The final film takes us all the way back to 1666, where we see the origin of the curse that is shown in the first film. This time, however, it's a slow burn, but the third act is where it really becomes a Fear Street film. My verdict: 9/10

It - Chapter I and II

I have never seen the original mini series, but I have heard it's where peoples fear of clowns began, so when they were announcing they were making a remake in TWO parts, I knew I had to see them both. Part I was surprisingly fun, while Part II was SIGNIFICANTLY more darker than part I was. But I had a lot of fun watching both films. Not as gory as I would have liked, but the story was great. Part I had some great kid actors, while Part II built on the suspense and the fun from Part I. Collective score: 8/10

The Hills have Eyes (2006 remake)

Now this was my first in-your-face horror film I saw, and I loved every minute of it. It starts as a regular off the mill classic road movie, but ends up being one of the goriest films ever. It has everything: From heads being blown off, a person semi-melting to full on blood fest. The design of the mutants is also very good. I need this movie in my collection - soon! My verdict: 8/10

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

Five kids pick up a hitchhiker, but ends up getting followed by a chainsaw wielding cannibalistic maniac and his family of psychos. This film has the scene that I hate to watch - nails being RIPPED OFF in slow motion.. It still makes me squirm. Other than that, it's a solid Texas Chainsaw film, and it's highly recommended from here. I showed the film to a bunch of people, and one of them got sick because of what she saw, so it's not for the faint of heart.

Now, it's time to name some of the bad horror films I have watched. Note: This is my opinion. You can have your own, which is fine. I will not go into detail about the films, but just list the names of them. Okay, here we go:

Saw 3-8. The first two were great, but it went downhill from there. Fast.

The Paranormal Activity franchise. I watched the first one, and I was bored. It kept me from watching the rest of the franchise, and by the sound of it, I haven't missed a lot.

Crawl. It was hailed as a modern day masterpiece, but my god it was dull and predictable. I was so bored, that I scrolled through my phone. Easily the worst film I have ever seen.

Army of the Dead. Zach Snyder is a hit and miss. Usually, his films are fantastic (take his version of the Justice League, for example), so when I heard he was making a zombie film with Dave Bautista in the lead, I was intrigued. The trailer looked good as well. Then I saw the movie.. I really wish I hadn't. Absolute trash!

...now directly into the fire. And the evolution of collusion.
It's one thing for the Main Stream Media to lie in their support of Dems. Only the most severely afflicted Syndromics still deny this as fact. We have a few right here on our beloved CS blogland. An obsessions and compulsions driven lot..
But now things have gone a big, VERY big, step further.
As credible evidence of the Hunter/Joe/Jim family corruption mounts, now with the news that the FBI has an open case on Hunter, simply twisting and spinning the facts no longer suffices for the once honorable, and journalistic, MSM.
Now, under the fake, VERY fake, veil of "unverified info", the MSM simply has joined forces to place it under a total blackout, VERY total, over all related news on this latest of Biden family corruption scandals. And big data are increasingly blocking such info on their social media sites. Use the name Hunter in your blog, and get dropped instantly.
Well, the cracks are starting to show.
The example at "the Intercept", may be a cautionary tale of such.
Apparently, all this blacking out, and blocking, has gotten to one of the higher ups at this left wing site, of ebay creaters, 'First Look Media'. It would seem that one Glenn Greenwald there has resigned over his concerns of trading journalism for cover up.
Nothing made up here, folks. Look and ye shall see.

Investigator & a paranormal writer who visits local so-called ghost spottings, stays there, and then writes about them in his books to prove that spooky places and ghosts do not exist. One day someone sends him a postcard from the Dolphin Hotel located within the city. On the postcard it reads "Don't stay in 1408" and of course now Mike wants to find out why no one should stay in 1408. Seeing a chance to prove another haunt false, he decides to go to the Dolphin Motel and stay in 1408...

The film follows Mike Enslin, an author who investigates allegedly haunted houses and rents the titular room 1408 at a New York City hotel. Although skeptical of the paranormal, he is soon trapped in the room where he experiences bizarre events.

The room is numbered "1408". Add each number together, and it equals 13 (1+4+0+8=13). The room is on the 14th floor, and the hotel skips the 13th floor, so the room is technically on the 13th floor.

An anonymous postcard to not stay in room 1408.
(Do not Enter.... 1408
Dolphin Hotel)
Excellent story that will keep you watching as it bends not only John Cusack's mind but the viewers...

1408 is surprisingly interesting and lives
up to everything a
horror fan is looking for...

Absolutely worth a look.

This song makes me think of Ivar The Boneless. Dunno why. I don't care for that character at all.

I dig this song though:

This is a series on Paramount starring Sylvester Stallone. The premise is that Stallones character was released from prison after 20 years and sent to Oklahoma to start a mafia crime branch in Tulsa.

If you can would enjoy the tv show Happy days being merged with the Supranos you will be entertained. Stallone is a 75 year old “Fonzie”. He takes over a marijuana shop just by walking in hitting the security guard over the head with a coffee thermos grabs the nerdy owner by the collar and walking out with $50,000 in cash.

Another ridiculous episode, Stallone and his gang of locals walk into a biker club and beat everyone with baseball bat with no serious injuries.

There are also some disgusting murder scenes like the Sopranos had so it is kind of a weird merger of romanticized the good macho guys win mixed with blood and guts.

There are 9 episodes and the second season is being filmed now. I give this 4 out of 5 stars.

So, even though the BBC no longer beams its short wave dribble to Gringoland, still can catch some of it on my powerful, VERY powerful, amateur radio rigs and treetop antennas. Still climbing those 40 meter pines, I be. Too much of a show off for my own good, as neighbors gather to watch. And to pray for a slip downward.. Not to worry. Merely another covert hypnotic induction technique, just the mention of it. Just watch as well. I do digress.
Mostly African and Asian services now, and these, on the lamb at the speed of light, which arrive after circling Mother earth herself, (the long paths), come in crystal clear. And not as on old crystal sets. The trance thickens, as I rant on. .
As with the dreadfully somniferous Australian broadcasts, most is generated by degenerates. Kiwi land radio still rocks, though, each morning here. Leftie for sure, but much more balanced.
Years ago, as with spot on coverage of the war in the Malvinas, these waves are largely things of the past. Although there's still some stuff worth listening to. Of course, it's all on line now, and on NPR---National Proletarian Radio. Even on my dumb, VERY dumb, smart TV.
So today, among the near total Trump -hate nonsense, some little gold toothed, gum smacking, reporterette of color, went on, and on, and on. As it seems are 90 % of the staff. And this, since being hired from the Communist faculty propaganda set ups in schools of "journalism", ---well she tried to explain the huge, VERY huge, "silent support", beginning with Trump 2016, and now there once more.
Quoth she, with her M style down under grammar, that in her interviewing of Yanks, few seemed to admit to being Trump supporters, in spite of standing room only (outside, and around the blocks) rally's.
She got it partly right. After all, with all the violence, looting, arson, etc., from the alt leftie peaceful demonstrators, such as fascist BLM and antifa, and the destruction of Trump campaign signs, on personal home property, ---well, many are silent indeed.
But she overlooked the effects of that big, VERY big, BBC banner on her microphony. Folks know what cooks on such main stream biased media. Why be interviewed, only to have things cherry- picked, or simply ignored, if at all sounding powerfully valid and cogently spoken?
The clueless, mistrusted, media.

Is the "Matrix" science fiction (an illusion) or reality?

Best and most interesting movie I've watched in a long time...
unfortunately it's based on true events.

Too late for so many
but all the lives saved because of the persistence of one man



Discussing the movie earlier with Mr Know it all
according to him much is also going on in Brazil today concerning American toxic waste.

In whom can we trust these days, certainly not the big boys we should ...
On another blog someone used the expression
" like toads in boiling water"
the lady wasn't too far wrong with what she said.

Anyways, DARK WATERS is an eye opener and definitely worth a watch

stock up on the popcorn though as it is longer than your average movie
