Sort of an odd day at the Dairy Farm. Maybe because its... #FuckThatFriday!
Do you remember the movie "The Hidden?" Neither do I. It was brought to my attention today during the early milking... apparently it is about an alien that hops bodies and commits shittons of crime. I immediately thought of Fallen with Denzel Washington... but with aliens instead of ghosts.
So I took a moment to IMDB it, because it starred Kyle McLachlan and "some other guy." I stumbled upon THE BEST piece of movie trivia EVER while there. Apparently, Claudia Christiansen? That her name? I could look it up, but its #FuckThatFriday... She was in Babylon 5. The director of The Hidden found her breasts so unattractive, they had the wardrobe department focus around her ass. Don't believe me... check out IMDB. Another great tidbit... while on the set of another film, her prop gun blew up in her face and damaged her cornea. So she is now unable to fire a prop gun without looking away, and the prop gun sund effects have to be added in post production.
Remember in 90s when Steven Tyler made a soft core porno with his daughter and Alicia Silverstone? Now you do. Kind of creeoy. Then Alicia Silverstone went and got fingerblasted on a roller coaster by Mark Wahlberg? #WildHorses
Do you want to make Skynet? Take the Customer Service of Amazon, Apple's innovation, and Google's tech.... Boom. Done. You can thank anti-monopoly laws for preventing the end of mankind.
Now the REAL RUSTLE of the day.
Hunger Games is Divergent is Hunger Games. They're the exact same shit, but one is Louis Vuitton and the other is a 10 minute walk in New York Chinatown down a freight elevator through a plywood hallway you're going to die rape basement knock off. Here's how they're the same, and how one did it better.
1) The Ceremony. Katniss and Tris... Katniss volunteers to replace her sister in the Hunger Games cause her sister is going to get pwn'd. Tris picks Dauntless because she wants to be special.
2) Dystopian Future. 12 poor districts joined together, having a hunger game to remind them of their life. Chicago.... 6 months from now. Totally fucked up, probably with a fence around it because it got too shitty and the hippies won't let us nuke it off of the US Map.
Protip: The sequel to Divergent is being filmed in Atlanta. They're building a Chicago outside of Atlanta because of tax incentives.
3) The Bad Guy. President Snow vs. Hillary Clinton.
4) THE KRAVITZ. Each film contains a Kravitz. Lenny in Hunger Games and Zoe in Divergent. Both under utilized. Make my Dress! Tell me the Truth! The Candor house should have had Tolouse from Moulin Rouge dancing around in that Sitar costume.
5) Katniss has sex appeal from start to finish. They start it at a 3 or 4 and ramp it up. Tris does not. She starts out boring... but its okay, because her sect doesn't dig vanity... I get that. Get to Dauntless... still boring.... get a tattoo... still boring.... wash your hair... still boring.... Have a nightmare about being raped by your boyfriend who is played by a 40 year old... SNOOZEFEST. Katniss is named after a Kit Kat bar, as in.... yeah, break me off a piece of that. Tris... Tris is on Amish Vacation waiting to go back to the farm.
Also.... someone did make a good point when were were talkin' movies today. In the Hunger Games, there's a little more diversity in the future. In Divergent... most of the minorities are shown in Amity. Amity finds joy in working the fields. #SlowClap. I don't remember it as much myself, I might have had a stray thought and not really taken in the 5 minutes Amity was on screen for.
And WHO IS DIVERGENT'S HEYMITCH? (Probably spelled incorrectly, I don't read these these books)
6) Weapons. Katniss fucks shit up with a bow and arrow. Tris... Tris learns this punch-fu where you hold your arms up parallel to each other at a 45 degree angle and do this awkward fist slammy fightan.
I only had like 3 points, but now I'm in super fire mode...
7) Katniss.... independent woman. She's deciding between 2 dudes. Making her own decisions... kicking ass and taking names. Tris can't do shit without Four. You would think as she's improving during her training and some dude try to kill her, she'd go beast mode and fuck up their shit. Nope, Four saves her ass. Oh, something may have happened and I might be the only one who can do something about it.... I hope Four's not compromised. Oh hey big bad guy, You're on hold, I need to check on Four. Katniss, "hey uh, yeah, make sure Peeta gets out. I got this shit." Oh, there's a revolution and Plutarch Heroin is leading it, let's blaze one.
#FuckThatFriday I'm off to milk some cows.
