Re-Evaluate.

Everything in your reality should be re-evaluated at one time or another.
In order to safeguard oneself from 'treading water'
But only from a position of security may I add, thus avoiding a mistaken case of 'Dress rehearsal rag'

Bloc Party - Biko (Lyrics)

BIKO

For my sweetheart the melancholic, you have crossed the river styx
And the waves have taken you away
As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it in your veins
Wake me up when you come to bed

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)

Was my love not strong enough to bring you back from the dead
If I could eat your cancer I would but I can't
So I keep writing these songs for you
To steal you from your grey
And we can dance in our front room again

So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
I need you be strong for us
So toughen up
Biko toughen up
Biko toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)

Don't you know that when you stand you stand up for the both of us
Remember that when the darkness looms
(You're not doing this alone)
Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you
I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can do

So toughen up,
Biko, toughen up (that I can do)
Biko, toughen up (that I can do)
I need you to be strong for us

So toughen up
Biko, toughen up
Biko, toughen up
This world isn't kind to little things

(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)

Resist!
Resist!
Resist!
Resist!

So toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
I need you to be strong for us (Resist! )

So toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
Biko, toughen up (Resist! )
This world isn't kind to little things (Resist! )

(You're not doing this alone)
(You're not doing this alone)

Control

Power is nothing without control.
Without control you risk losing everything.

Right Where it Belongs - NIN (Lyrics)

Right Where it Belongs

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side your on ?
Then I look to closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on ?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all ............Right where it belongs

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want to be ?
But if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself.......Find yourself afraid to see

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own
Your devils and your gods all the living and the dead
And you really are alone

You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the worlds
Are you hiding in your dreams ?

What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want to be ?
But if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself.......Find yourself afraid to see


NIN - 'Right Where it belongs' - Taken from the Album 'With Teeth' released in 2005.

Previous posting that reminded me of this track 'You Alone'

The Singularity

Singularity is in effect the 'creation' of computers that can think (a'la A.I.) and can therefore recreate themselves in a more advanced state than the Humans who created them ...hence they can reach 'Singularity'

It covers alot of technological aspects and is covered in in more 'layman' terms here

Effectively aspects of this have been covered in SF for years from Harlan Ellison (I have no mouth and yet I must scream) to more famously William Gibson in his novel 'Neuromancer'.

Films which also refer to a 'Singularity concept' are :
A.I (touched upon it in Cyborg technology)
Terminator in 'Skynet' Robot/Computer technology
2001, Hal can think and make decisions of his own free will
Forbin Project: Colossus - Computers decide that Mankind is a 'virus' and so is to be destroyed.
Demon Seed: Computer decides it wants to be 'Born' so Julie christie is chosen as the mother.

Obviously dramatic intent is the force behind the novels/films but the concepts are based upon 'Singularity' and what effect would 'freeing' the computer from human control have?

I Suppose 'Tyrell' from Bladerunner had the best quote for this:
"More human than human is our motto here at the Tyrell Corporation"

Franklyn

Film has already been premiered at the London film festival, and has garnered positive and negative reviews - depending on who's reviewing it.

The film is a split narrative set simultaneously in contemporary London and in a future metropolis ruled by religious fervor. It's the story of four lost souls, divided by two parallel worlds, on course for an explosive collision when a single bullet will decide all their fates.

Remains to be seen if it is a 'Cult' hit - has been compared with 'Dark City' and also 'V for Vendetta' - though that maybe just because of the Dark Dystopian feel the Film Trailer gives out - rather than because of Premise.

Something Wonderful.....

....is going to happen.

Snippets...of lyrics.

"Nothing in this world is for real,
Except you are for me, and I am so yours"

Marilyn Manson - 'Ka-Boom Ka-Boom'

Start Afresh

Everything starts afresh, friendships - even to an extent relationships.
For circumstances like the orbits of the planets change position over time.
Nothing is as it was, do not be frightened of that statement understand it for what it is, a declaration that time changes everything and you can no more change time than you can step back in time and change the events that led you to this point you are at now.

Morrissey & Thoughts.....

'There is something I wanted to tell you, It's so funny you'll kill yourself laughing

But then I, I look around, And I remember that I am alone, Alone. For evermore........'

Quoted from the track 'Come Back to Camden' off the Album 'You Are the Quarry' by Morrissey

Fate

'Stay true to Destiny's Path,
Fate will then weave around you'.

The Day the Earth Stood Still Remake

I can't believe they are remaking this film.

One of the definite 'Atomic age' films of the 50's.

Probably end up being like the hash that was 'The war of the worlds' remake, no substance no style.....and no hope - seeing as it's got the 'actor' Keanu Reeves in it...says it all really.
And a really simple plot incase anybody has to actually think during the movie.
God I'm depressed about this idea already...and it doesn't come out till December...
It's all going to go "Klaatu barada nikto.

Check out the original film trailer here
