Oh wow

I just realized yesterday was January 25th. The day dad died 11 years ago. damn, and ya know I just posted about how I didn't want things to get any worse. I wish I was the kind of person who could release anger by shoving everything off a desk.

God, life is sucking.

Why is Jack Frost a Douchebag?

Image
Flipping through channels on this fine snow-filled Saturday morning, I accidentally found "Frosty's Winter Wonderland" (1976) on ABC Family. I'm only catching what I think may be the ending, but wow is this bad. There's a priest snowman? Frosty got married!? When did that happen? (Clearly, in 1976.) But before I could judge too harshly, a Jack Frost character made his required douchbagginess apparent. Jack Frost from "Frosty's Winter Wonderland" (1976) Here I guess he was causing mischief and mayhem or something, until Mrs. Crystal theSnowman (?) was nice to him and he became the best man at their wedding?? Riight. His hair kinda looks like a combination of what I wanted mine to look like -- with that of an anime character from Yu-Gi-Oh! or Digimon or something. Then a few days ago I caught The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause , with the very annoying Martin Short playing Jack Frost - a mythical figure trying to steal control of the Chr...

The Universal Translator Malfunctions from Star Trek: Discovery "An Obol for Charon" - Translated

Image
The universal translator is one of Star Trek's greatest thematic devices, used to explain why all the aliens seem to speak English . Like many Star Trek inventions, we're inching closer and closer to a universal translator (for known, Earth languages) being a reality - even if it doesn't somehow change the speaker's lip movements. In the Star Trek: Discovery second season episode " An Obol for Charon ," the universal translator malfunctions translating the crew's spoken English into what I've liked to call "a chaotic cacophony" akin to the Tower of Babel; the crew can't understand each other or their consoles. (You can watch the scene over at YouTube  or below.) Since the episode aired, I've looked for someone to have translated the scene -- but to my surprise, no one has, so in addition to the edits I've made over at Memory Alpha , here is the scene as I've been able to put it together. Burnham: qav...

What is Katy Perry's E.T. about?

Image
Ladies and folks, welcome to my analysis of Katy Perry's hot off the presses music video "E.T." ft. Kanye West. Are you ready for what " looks like a Motorola Xoom commercial combined with Close Encounters of the Third Kind , Wall-E and animals humping?" It was only a few weeks ago when I first heard Katy Perry's new single on the radio - "E.T." Well that's not really true, I've heard the whole album months ago - but on the album E.T. is by Katy alone. On the radio, I first heard the featuring Kanye West version. And I gotta say, Kanye does not add a whole lot to it :/ But after a few days/week of hype, today the music video was released: on E.T.: Entertainment Tonight no less! Here, WATCH it first. We start in some alien hubcap junkyard, where 1940s-y music is playing as we find a 1940s-style robot that looks like something out of a cyberpunk magazine. Who's teardrop shaped heart longs for another! ( Behind the scenes : appar...
