We Live In Public

without comments

On the 41st anniversary of the Internet, WE LIVE IN PUBLIC tells the story of the effect it is having on our society as seen through the eyes of “the greatest Internet pioneer you’ve never heard of”, visionary Josh Harris.

Award-winning director, Ondi Timoner (“DIG!”), documented his tumultuous life for more than a decade, to create a riveting, cautionary tale of what to expect as the virtual world inevitably takes control of our lives.

Harris, often called the “Warhol of the Web”, founded Pseudo.com, the first Internet television network during the infamous dot-com boom of the 1990s. He also curated and funded the ground breaking project “Quiet” in an underground bunker in NYC where over 100 people lived together on camera for 30 days at the turn of the millennium.

With Quiet, Harris proved how we willingly trade our privacy for the connection and recognition we all deeply desire, but with every technological advancement such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter, becomes more elusive. Through his experiments, including a six-month stint living with his girlfriend under 24-hour electronic surveillance which led to his mental collapse, Harris demonstrated the price we pay for living in public.

Harris strongly believes that the Technological Singularity will be reached and the human being will cease to be an individual, while the machine becomes the new king of the jungle.

Sam Jackson On Moniques Oscar Win

I just find it funny that 9 out of 10 black actors only win these types of awards for playing negative and stereotypical characters.

See “Hustle & Flow” or Halle Berry in Monsters Ball.

Denzel for Training day over Will Smith as Ali.

I could go on…

Avatar Movie Causing Depression Suicide Thoughts?

without comments

3d movie

So basically there’s a report on CNN that there are numerous people out there depressed because they cannot live in the fantasy world “Pandora” that’s depicted in the Avatar movie.

“Ever since I went to see ‘Avatar’ I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na’vi made me want to be one of them. I can’t stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it,” Mike posted. “I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in ‘Avatar.’ “

What? Wait… What? Suicide?

Yet another reminder that there are some really, really dumb people out there living very uninteresting lives.

Live now n^&%s!

What I Hate About Quantum of Solace

without comments

Quantum of Solace

So yeah I have been meaning to share this for a while. I did watch Casino Royale, the first movie in this James Bond franchise reboot and I thought it was a decent movie though this new James Bond movie Quantum of Solace SUCKS. I am going to keep it real short and to the point. Here is my summary of why this movie sucks ass:

1. They ripped off the Borne Identity franchise big time . This movie is HUGE RIP of the Bourne series. Too many chase/running scenes. The hand combat stuff with objects from the room is ripped straight from Bourne. They should have called this movie “The Borne of Solace” or someshit.

2. This James Bond LOVES them hoes. LOL EPIC FAIL!
