Vertical Horizon - You're a God I've been trying to keep my mouth shut on this (to speak its name is to give it life), but influencers make me scream. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is a sign we won't survive. Society, I mean. Humans will keep living. H.G. Wells said so. Let me explain this Pepe Silvia. Frozen Empire itself is another facepalm movie. Wrong lessons were learned from Afterlife and the money must flow. Melnitz is wearing the jumpsuit. A cosplay influencer posted a photo of Dana Barret in the jumpsuit and commenting on people's comments on her lack of elbow pads. Claims the reason for the cosplay was "something more wearable" (probably means cheaper on the makeup and less prone to sexual comments but what do I know?) Again, another facepalm yet doesn't warrant Carol in HR. Then comes Dolly Parton's Pet Gala. Rich white people nonsense. No dogs up for adoption, no proceeds to a shelter or society aside from an Humane Society lower third graphic that appears once; seems like an after thought. The dots connect and out comes the conspiracy. Our society is soulless. And that's not some blase statement to appear aloof or sexy. It genuinely scares me how much that statement permeates the world. Frozen Empire like many franchise films are intent on making money and cannot survive long-term. Horror films know this. The influencer is cosplaying for the likes, not the idea. Dana would never wear the jumpsuit. Ripley would but different franchise and doesn't generate traffic. Cosplay who you want, but do it honestly. Cosmic Rewind in Epcot does nothing aside from being cool and takes away from Epcot's theme of edu-tainment. Velocicoaster is dumb as fuck. Its theming doesn't instill fear or anxiety but confusion which undercuts the ride. Not to mentions negates Jurassic Park, both book and movie, by putting a literal coaster in a raptor paddock. They claim it's safe. I think it should've been sued into oblivion before the ground was struck. I don't have the money to make that call. Hagrid's will survive. It's sincere. Speaking of Harry Potter, remaking the whole series as a tv show. Why? The films are world famous with parks and exhibits across the globe. What could redoing it add to the conversation aside from constant comparison? Content for content's sake. Same argument for The Last Airbender live action series. It's this lack of sincerity that generates the fear and I see it everywhere. Dishonest politicians and lobbyists with agendas that lead t conflict and strife. To speak the truth would deny them power. Secret friend groups within friend groups to comment how bad the others are yet everyone is besties in public. I see it in the selfishness of southerners. I expect them to hold a knife behind their back, ready to strike, as they pour you sweet tea with a smile on their face. And it does no good to raise your voce when its too late. I am one person who is old, tired and cranky. I do not wish to yell at clouds nor reminisce about "in my day". I agree with Jon Stewart that making the world a better place is a "lunch-pail-day-in-day-out thankless grind" that requires constant effort. It also requires honesty, not "only speaking the truth" but honesty in intention. Even applies in the departments of thrills and fabrics. But the shit I keep seeing is on par when I see people do the Vulcan salute who've never seen Star Trek. Anthony Hopkins from Westworld plays in my head, "It means that we're done. That this is as good as we're gonna get." And that is why Disney World is no longer the most magical place on Earth. Magic doesn't require subscriptions. |
