Introduction
What you hold in your hands is a hypothesis of over a decades worth of research, putting together the big picture and finding the clues that lead to the ability to predict criminality before it has even happened, better than anything in the past has. It has been tried before, but never has it come to fruition quit like I hope it will here. The travel to this destination has been a long and arduous one, paved with long hours analyzing data, drinking myself to the point of almost dying, thrice. Many nights of my friend crying and sobbing over negative things that have happened to her from an abuser, her former “lover”. Watching the ramifications of those actions from her teenage years impact her being as a twenty something adult and even banging my head on my parents kitchen table, crawling under it, in an attempt to console my best friend from fits of PTSD meltdowns. My twenties was far better than my own youth, in a lot of ways, but still no spring break in Cancun or any partying, outside of drinking by myself or with my best friend. Besides a best friend, I’ve also dealt with issues that my mom and sister have gone through within their lives from similar events and I don’t want to see others go down this same dark path. It would be fitting that I should possibly be the one to end pedophilia, among other things that plague our world, but when it comes down to it, Pre-crime is the second best thing to happen to criminals, short of a holocaust!

One

Crime can easily be defined as anything that is currently against the law. Quite obvious and easy, that doesn’t really say much. Humanity, regardless of era, is willing to outlaw acts for which it thinks it abhorrent or horrible, sometimes with logic, but more often without, such as smoking marijuana, for instance. What does nature think of law? It doesn’t, it does not care for it at all. Technically, there is no such thing as crime from a nature standpoint. It’s a societal construct, as much as I hate delving into postmodernism, it is true! Think about our ancestral environment, there was no cops to stop crime, there were no politicians to create law, no one to stop anyone. All you had was yourself, someone who loved you, or at the very least, didn’t entirely hate you. Why is that? Society didn’t really exist, there were only tribes and most humans are prone to only being able to deal with 100-250 people at a time. During the entire span of humanity, people have committed some of the worst things imaginable to one another. Tribes killed other tribes, rape was kosher, and pedophilia wasn’t as frowned upon, with the exception of the parents, if even, given that children were more often married by 12 in our ancestral environment, due to short life expectancy. The Wild West also allowed for child prostitutes. Human decency didn’t really exist in any context, in any epoch. Nearly everything was allowed for and most people engaged in it.
Greece is an excellent example of allowance in regards to sexuality, allowing for modified forms of pedophilia. Homosexuality, of both varieties, were also considered ok.

As the years rolled on and civilizations came and went, so too did the idea of crime itself. Each civilization had its own ideas of what was and wasn’t allowable. Paganism wasn’t frowned upon is ancient cultures, but you would have been burned at the stake in 1600’s Salem, Massachusetts. Humans have never been the greatest species to walk the planet, but it sure is the most apt to reflect upon our experiences better than any other ones; at least to our knowledge.

This is where the idea for pre-crime comes into view. It knows nature does not care about humans in any way, shape or form, whatsoever and whatever our little malignant heart desires is basically cool. Since crime doesn’t exist, by nature’s viewpoint, there is only human nature. If there is only human nature, it’s predicable. If it’s predicable, it can be thwarted long before a criminal has the chance to hurt an innocent human being.
There are already ways of “predicating” crime, but it’s only deals with some aspects of human nature. It doesn’t predict the victim. My hypothesis does, making pre-crime true to its word and you don’t have to put as much work into it as I have had to, as I’ve already done the heavy work for you.

So, allow me to create a list of crimes that we will be looking to predict. At present, it works best with blue collar crime, but will ultimately still predict white collar crime with a few tweaks.

1. Rape, Including, but not limited to, pedophilia.
2. Murder, including, mass, serial and “random”.
3. Theft of all kinds.
4. Drug dealers and their victims.

These are the most important blue collar crimes that are currently committed and the only ones that really plague society. While I could use the algorithm to predict children spray-painting the ground or a stoner smoking weed, we’re not concerned with these, as while the former is uncouth and the latter is a freedom, there is no long term consequences for these actions.

Two
While often overlooked for being the equal of astrology, the Myers-Briggs or from here on out the MBTI, is actually a very powerful tool! It allows us to see how people engage the real world. Contrary to popular belief, it’s really couldn’t care less if all ENTP types are devil’s advocate or if all INTJ types are inflexible. All it cares about is the system and that system is used to navigate the murky waters of the world. I believe, given the ability to test this, it might even be genetic and the next chapter will deal with how to test it to see if it, indeed, is.

Here is all you’re going to have to know in order to start analyzing the hypothesis and see this exist.

There are two types of people, Extroverts and Introverts. Whatever you think you know about the terms, forget it. It’s really an energy exchange. Extroverts usually gain energy fromsocial exchanges and introverts lose energy. We can back up this up with Richard Dawkin’s The Selfish Gene (1976) in regard to cost/benefit analysis. Extroverts gain energy from socializing, so it is beneficial. Conversely, for the introvert, socializing can be masochism. Both are observable in the outside world and the inverse can be true of the Extrovert and Introvert as well, but other factors cause the inverse. Most will adhere to the norm.

I find and I hate to be anecdotal here, that intuition and sensing can be quite literal. In other words, a seemingly innocuous mistake, may be the system alerting the user to danger! It’s like looking at someone and calling them a serial killer. Imagine being right? How do you know? Looks can be deceiving, but it’s not as absurd as it seems as I’m sure we as a species has evolved to utilize such to protect ourselves and our kin, in the same way we have evolved other traits. Rational types, as they are referred to in the theory, would be wise to disregard such, but in doing so, they could be in peril. Irrational types, also the MBTI’s technical word, are prone to listening to it. Think a detective in a movie with no more than a hunch.

Humans as a species have evolved to gossip and accept such, sometimes without reservation or vetting, from people we trust. Sometimes, they even do it to the point of ignoring evidence to the contrary. These types are irrationals! Now those are 4 unique things regarding the system to look for. In regards to Perception vs Judging, while it seems difficult and we can test their adaptive behavior, it can be even more observable than we think. J’s tend to have a structure when engaging the world. Let me look at the ENTJ for instance. Let’s say you’re in a conversation with them and they express something, say just “I hate rap.” If they’re a Judging type, they may very well then reconsider the thought, but it would be structured, say holding their chin and rethinking it, but quite involuntary, like snapping your head towards a topless woman or muscular hunk! A Perspective would be less structured and may just redact something, say, because it makes them seem closed minded or salty. It’s quite easy to trigger off once you’ve understood how to look for it and while it seems arbitrary, it will seem genuine in the moment.

The last observable trait for seeing the MBTI in the real world is some of these traits that are imbued from the personality type that isn’t something stupid like enjoying a martini in the middle of summer or liking rap, those actually come from a different aspect of our nature altogether. Sensing types for instance are concreate and literal, seeing is believing and this why some don’t always understand theory, and while their literalness can sometimes be associated with autism, just one trait doesn’t make them autistic, which is why we must look to ensure that it isn’t their system first. Intuition as well, since it seems to imbue upon the person a so called “third eye”.

All of these can easily be discerned through observation and those are the most important. The hypothesis doesn’t care if you’re an Aries with a bad moon rising nor does the MBTI.

In the next chapter, we will be dealing with major histocompatibility Complex.

Three
Major histocompatibility Complex from here on out this will be called MHC for short. The MHC is like a unique blueprint in all of us, which allows woman to see a man’s suitability for reproductive purposes. This can be done in one of two ways, through kissing or through olfactory glands. While the idea of human beings and phenomes have been “controversial”, the idea has merit to it. The idea goes that it’s a check and balance
system to impede pseudo and real incest between people too close on this spectrum to ensure diversity in gene reproduction and healthier progeny.Everyone has a MHC and it is unique to everyone. Like a thumbprint, no two people are alike. Even twins do not have the same MHC.This seems to be one of the biggest driving factors between not just sexuality, as even gay humans use this, but friendships between the opposite sexes as well. The dreaded “friendzone” that millennial men complain about, might in part, be caused by the MHC complex.

The idea works like this, birth control does alter a woman’s biology. It tricks the body into thinking it is pregnant, the hypothesis in regards to pregnancy is when a woman is pregnant, she is prone towards being around family for protection, since the suitor would have been long gone, had they not pair bonded and raring a child is no easy task. The female would need to stay near men who could help in raring a child, which would be male siblings and her own dad, in order to protect the progeny and their genetics. This, it should be noted, is different from “dad” types as they are called, since there would be good reason for helping to rare future progeny as
she is older and mature enough to make these decision, since nature favors the female choice in reproductive mates.

This would also alter her sex drive, causing her to reject different MHC and instead seek “Dad” types to assist in child rearing. If a woman is on Birth control, this will cause her to reject the right suitors and instead go towards men with similar MHC, ergo, in one way causing this “friendzone.” Without birth control, she will seek the right suitors for her. The other two possibilities for “friendzones” exist in the man not picking up on female signals and thus costing himself and downright entitlement towards sexual relations with the opposite sex in general. This causes incels. I.E. not being the right man to breed with and getting bitter over this.

These things are extremely important to note, because they relate to criminality and how nature “views” it, as opposed to most humans!
Sex and crime go hand in hand as I will show in the next chapter, since pre-crime was born out of understanding pedophiles and how this equates to other “criminal” behavior, we will start to put this all into perspective.

Four
What is a pedophile? Well, the technical definition of a pedophile is one with a preoccupation with prepubescent children. A hebephiliac is one with an emphasis on middle school children and Ephebophila is someone with a sexual inclination towards 15 to 19 years of age.

It is important to note, none of these are sexualities, as age is not a sexual orientation, and it’s a preference. Preferences are developed, sexual orientations are static. I have always liked older woman, but my desire is not sexuality, as there is no “Milfsexual” orientation, nor should there be, because it is preference! So, a pedophile who likes young girls, is a straight pedophile with a preference for prepubescent girls, just as I am an adult man with a preference for middle age woman, mostly. This is no different from a woman preferring muscular men or a mustache, the preference isn’t exhibited by all and may even change with time.

Pedophilia doesn’t even meet the criteria for sexuality anyways, as sexuality doesn’t involve strong, hard to overcome urges that result in rape or other nefarious activity! Pedophilia, instead, is a form of cuckoldry, though. My logic for this is as follows. Woman decide which male is best suited to pass on their genetics through reproducing with the female. As in the last chapter, the female who is pregnant would stay close to male relatives in order to gain help in the form of child rearing. If the girl is too young to make such a decision for themselves or being so young, force could be used to get the girl to make such a decision, the father would be the one to bare reproductive cost for another man’s child in much the same way as if he had to bear the cost of his own wife being impregnated by another man. This would be horrible for him and why, I think, some conservatives are fine with abortion due to rape or cases of incest. When it comes to a man’s young boy, sometimes the opposite seems to be the case. This is sometimes seen as a double standard, but it really isn’t, since a woman would have picked the man’s adolescent son for intercourse, showing casing to him, successful reproduction had indeed happened for him, giving him feelings of elation and pride, instead of what idiots refer to as “toxic masculinity.”

Albeit, rape, at one point was most likely a strategy used in the ancestral environment, which men with poor genetic material, would of engaged in, in an attempt to sire progeny. While I am on the subject, pedophilia might occasionally be the same, as there is such a thing as “surrogate” pedophiles, but the results for finding them would be the same, since it would be steeped in
preference for certain types of woman, but rather than be a crime of desire, it’s an act of sexual poverty and a crime of opportunity, since most these people would rather fuck an adult than a child.

In fact, the old argument of “LGBT marriage will equate to pedos” is absolute BULLSHIT! It was actually oversights of old, such as allowing girls as young as 11 to marry in the 1800’s and before that allowed for LGBT marriage, not vice versa and we have since become more Enlighted to not allow for child sexual acts of any types to be performed, albeit 16 is legal in most states. Homosexual sex acts are 100% normal.

With that out of the way, we turn to the aspect of how this fits in with the last chapter! While not a sexuality, it acts like one because of the sexuality of the pedophile. This allows for us to predict with the utmost accuracy, the exact victims a pedophile will seek. This also allows for us to predict the exact victim’s murders and other criminals as well. In effect, predicting crime before it happens.

Alright, so here is how everything breaks down in terms of human tribalization. First, when you’re younger, you’re usually attracted to that which is akin. This is mostly likely to protect a child from straying away. The skin to skin contact forms a parental bond as protection. The MBTI personalities will be similar on a spectrum as well. Here is some instance from my own youthfor instance, two big influences on me as a writer. Both of which, in the MBTI are most likely Intuitive types. Both come off as a J types. One comes off more introverted and the other comes off more extrovert. One was a systems analyst. Normally a spectrum of the INTJ, albeit it, plenty of P types have exhibited such. I too am a system analyst and intuitive. The other isn’t, as far as I know, a system analyst, but it is all in the same spectrum of J’s and P’s. A lot of one of the authors books involved intuition as a major trope. This isn’t to liken myself to famous celebrities, but rather showcase that I liked a lot of things within my own spectrum. Involving other things I enjoyed, like Professional wrestling, the personality types have been similar as well. You’re not guaranteed to be 100% akin to your favorite celebrity, but closer to home, your friends are.

While not everything is 100% exact, I have liked the odd sensing type, but it is extremely rare instance.Your friends, opposite and similar sex, will most likely share similar genetics to you. For instance, a few of my friends and I share the MCR-1 gene, which is responsible for red hair and our I.Q.’s are in the same spectrum, among a slew of other genetics. For the sake of not self-aggrandizing myself, since the actual number is unimportant to the hypothesis, I will omit it. While they don’t think I.Q. is genetic, it still very real and people are likely to gravitate towards those people and form tribes with them.

I came to this conclusion accidentally. Apparently too inept to work a McJob in the town of Biddeford, Maine. I took it upon myself to criticize my performance as I am prone to doing and ensuring I improved in order to be hirable anywhere, including better jobs later on. Obviously, like most of my readers, all four to six of you, I wanted to be successful. As I analyzed the system, I noticed the patterns on hirable people. All of them were within the spectrum of MBTI personality type, all had similar genetics, I.Q. and backgrounds. All exhibited a lack of consciousness and most were inclined towards being musically absorb. It should be noted that Maine in general ranks low in contentiousness, while Florida is ranked one of the highest for it. It should also be noted that 90% of major companies use the MBTI during their hiring process. It should also be noted, the army use a similar test to sort people out. So, life is basically a caste system that is exhibited in both the real world and in the business world. Some people have better genetics than others and a more in demand, we have always known this in part, as good looks grant great privilege.

While some people reject the notion of alpha and beta men, the evidence posits otherwise. Yes, humans form hierarchy, but that is built on similar principles.
So, jobs breakdown as follows, each one corresponds to the MBTI and with enough knowledge, you can figure out what types they are looking for. One instance, a company that shan’t be named, discriminates against Intuitive types, looking only for sensors. The test you take to get the job, ask if you use intuition and then rejects you if you say yes, among other pro sensing questions. I was rejected because I wasn’t a sensor.

Even when they don’t ask on online test, I have taken plenty that have rejected me, where the entire company has been nothing but sensing types. In fact, I’ve been unemployable for pretty much 14 years, because I live in a town of 96% white sensing types. This isn’t to be poor me, this is how I have uncovered the human tribal system, which in turn, then deals with criminality.

Now, in those 14 years, I have managed to walk into manager jobs a decent number of times, which perplexed me. Who the hell walks into manager? It’s running a company, especially in a town full of sensing types, mostly P types, whom normally show preference for experience.
Albeit my aunt did it in my hometown, but me being a teenager, I assumed and erroneously, it must be a “who you know” type of situation.
I have done everything under the sun that has ever gotten a person a job and none of it has worked, because I am unable to peg off solipsism, which, normally turns out to be correct in their assumptions that we’re in fact, not alike.
It was anything but luck and I have been able to replicate these finding over and over, time and time again.

Now, in regards to hierarchy, it seems to have some component with masculinity. In each tribe, regardless of which of the 16 personality types they have, the coordinator or the “alpha” will always be masculine. As we go down the clock, so to speak, the more effeminate the male will become. “Beta” often possess almost as much masculinity as the “Alpha” themselves, they’re just not as good as coordinating the tribe and this can change with time. This results in everyone being an integral part of the team and is very important to every business. It should be noted that, with modern transgender studies, like those of Harvard in 2012 or 13, that a person’s masculine/feminine make up are decided entirely in the womb, by testosterone and estrogen levels in the natal environment.
It should be noted, that besides the personality types, there is two types of people in the world. Independent people and team workers. Others can work between them. These independent people will only be employable at jobs that need people who are “self-starting, go getters” who do not need to be coordinated. Freelancers, contractors, pro-wrestlers, business owners, ect. These types are often referred to as sigma.

So, now that we have that all out of the way, it important to note, all these aspect as quantifiable. Also, everyone’s experiences is in part, right. People attract that which is similar and occasion that which is opposite, because that is what we need to get along in the work force. The opposite almost always comes into play when a person is at the height of maturity and while it seems anecdotal, it is 100% provable.

This too, is how crime plays out. Criminals will almost always share, not just personality type, but genetic components as well and this is how pedophiles pick their victims. It’s not always a constant act, but the more hits on these multiple spectrums, the higher the chance the person is going to be choose, so let’s make a list of how my algorithm would work in finding the potential victim of a known pedophile with 100% accuracy.
List
1. MBTI type.
2. Genetic similarity
3. Graduation of masculinity/femininity.
4. I.Q. levels
5. Backgrounds
6. Sexuality
7. Looks on the golden ratio
These seven keys, with potential for uncovering more, are how human beings come together and form a tribe. Serial Killers, regardless of habitual nature, will almost always choose the exact personality type. So let us give another example of how this would look.

Serial Killer Guy, is a guy who has been spurn by a lover. She’s blonde, 5’4, rosebud lips and an ass that goes for days. As we already know, he will continue to seek 5’4 blondes with similar features to the woman that hurt him. How many 5’4 tall blondes can there be in any given city? Innumerable, I’m sure. Which is why these additional steps make a more specific algorithm for knowing which he is likely to kill. So our killer is a ISTJ who was spurned by a ISTP, both are roughly 120 in IQ, straight, employable at jobs that need a manager, but neither of which are managers, each one has the genes for blue eyes, expressed in his would be lover but dormant in him.
By knowing this information before hand, we can, to a T, realize who his victims are going to be. If we factor in things such as the lack of free will humans possess, we can even figure out where they will strike and I believe, when they will strike, due to these types of offenders always doing at the height of their stress, when they need to relive their impulse or the stress of daily life.

Five
It should be noted that pre-crime is not perfect, and I am not suggesting arresting people for thought-crime. With the right amount of research, we can possible severely reduce crime though and even get to it before it happens. Right now I am unable to predict infant sexual attacks as more research is needed, but I have enough evidence, non-anecdotal, to showcase there is merit to the hypothesis and plan to start rolling out the algorithm to police stations when it is peer reviewed and firmly science. Also, it can be used in reverse to predict the past with absolute accuracy. I never went to school with a baby
boomer for instance, but I could predict their entire sexual history with just those six keys as if I had been there. While I would like to delve extensively into the genetics of criminals and their victims, I may not get that opportunity for all, but that’s ok, as genetics that are mostly visible, without having to get thousands of people into MRI machines and constantly vetting their genetics as it works fine with just the quantifiable genetics, thanks to the likes of Darwin and Johann Gregor Mendal and that is all that would be needed to start breaking out pre-crime as actual fact and really preemptively saving lives in the process. One last thing, because such may trigger people, say, in Facebook science groups, that race plays no factor in who is and isn’t a criminal. Nor does it mean a white person and a black person would never be matched. Skin color is merely an expression of pigmentation and either way, blacks, white, Asians and more will share similar genetics. It’s not like Black People are Lions attempting to mate with a white puppy. No one is free from any of the keys of human tribalism and diversity isn’t as diverse as it seems when you look at the structure of humanity anyways. A black and white couple will be, in a lot of ways as similar as a black and an Asian. This was completed in an all-white town, but has been observed in many other cities, with a lot of diversity and it always plays out the same way.

Ultimately, though I could make a lot of money off of selling this algorithm once it is 100% legitimate science, that isn’t my goal, even with sacrificing my twenties in order to complete it. It comes down to family and friends. Anyone who has ever loved a victim knows how hard dealing with the issues caused by being hurt by pedophiles or other criminals. I’ve spent the better part of my 32 years on this planet dealing with the outfall of such atrocious acts, having a mother and sister who have been assaulted and a best friend, whom, thanks to her pedophile abuser, messed her up real bad and caused me to bump my head, whilst drunk, on my parents kitchen table. I may have been unemployable for nearly 2 decades, but boy, did I recover Steller! It is because of this that I wish to help distribute and further research more and contribute it to as many law enforcement offices as humanly possible with due time, in hopes crime is extinguished, once and for all!

Kagemas: A review of the IT remake

Introduction

I was given this for Christmas, so I’m going to give it a review for Kagemas. If you don’t know by now, I really despise the Stephen King novel IT. That said, I don’t necessarily hate the miniseries, it was imperfect, but it still had some charm since Tim Curry gave an otherwise banal character, a personality. I’m reviewing the remake of IT. Is this a good remake or is it a bad remake?

Plot

You don’t know by now this book is about a group of children, who are haunted by an evil clown. The clown claims to be Bob Gray, but also uses the name Pennywise. One by one the children are tormented until the clown decides to come and eat them. What sounds like a promising premise, is ultimately destroyed by piss-poor writing, and this movie is no exception, because it’s ultimately two hours of the novel’s greatest hits mixed with a little bit of “fresh” material.

Characters

The characters are the whole group of kids, a Motley Crew, if you will, of strange bullied kids. All boys and one chick, but it’s hard to tell each one of them apart, as in the novel, since each one is basically the same character with just a slight flaw and or slight idiosyncrasy that sits there and makes them “different.”Ultimately none of these kids are relatable to you. They are nothing like when I was a kid, this was true of the miniseries as well, but the kids are acting the made up for the lack of relatability and it was believable that the kids in the miniseries were friends. Here it just seems like actors. By the end of this movie, you will hope Pennywise wins,that’s not what happens, as if you didn’t already know and that is a very big let down.

Style/ effects

Nothing really new that set it apart, typical Maine from all the Stephen King movies with the brick architecture, the Mills buildings and everything like that.

FX are dated as all hell, from the headless kid on the stairwell, that look and moved like terrible stop motion. The leper from the book, he looked creepy as hell, but also moved like a shity skeleton from Jason and the Argonauts. I get it, new IT is based in the 80s, but do we really need a stop motion reference to Nightmare on Elm Street part 3? Although I do like the poster that was in the background. The biggest question is how are these kids supposed to be scared of these no-name things including the very horribly produced female like ghost Creature From The Conjuring movie like that? All of them were banal no name ghost, shit ghost. You could have included David S Pumpkins to round off the whole non branded, lame “scary” characters thing. Warner Bros owns the rights to Nightmare on Elm Street and Jason from Friday the 13th? So the fact they didn’t treat this like the novel and updated with the new monsters that would hunt children’s youth back then, is a missed opportunity.

The ballons were CGI, except in close ups. The FX were dated as hell. It seems like WB didn’t care, they just wanted to the cash in on this and hopefully make some money and they ultimately did. There’s nothing wrong with making money, but you know what, if you’re going to sit there and take a franchise like this that for most people, is beloved even if I hated it, you could at least put some fucking care into the goddamn fucking creation of this. Warner Bros could not even make the DVD well. The DVD has two of them, one just for bonus disc the other for the movie. I don’t know if they are trying to be retro or they’re just lazy and incompetent but the case is flimsy as hell. I can push on it and nearly destroy the DVD. Even though FBI warnings are retro as fuck, and Sound quality sucks. There’s just so much wrong with the presentation and production.

Acting
Acting is mostly decent, there’s nothing overly bad here whatsoever. I would like to add in the fact that, regardless of people’s reviews or fandom, Pennywise is not as good as they like to claim. It is not a horrible interpretation, but it is far from Tim Curry, and this is not the Heath Ledger version of Pennywise, there’s definitely room for improvement in the better actor could bring more to this role.

Subtext
Read my book review on this and then you realize at the end, I had nothing more to say on this, other than the fact that it would seem to me, that the subtext is this group of kids are really a bunch of murderers, that invented Pennywise, in order to deal and cope with what they did when they were kids. That subtext, is slightly more visible in this movie that I think they meant to.

Conclusion
I really hope WB learns from the mistakes of this DVD as well as the mistakes of this movie because there’s a second part coming out in 2019 and I am so not looking forward to it. I may not be the biggest fan of this franchise, but I did grow up reading Stephen King and enjoying his books. At the end of the day this was a blatant cash grab, updated to the late 80s and what it gave us was bad effects, all right acting, no real connection to the characters, poor writing and nothing really new to write home about. It is an abysmal failure of a movie, but it made money, so in Hollywood that means it was a stellar success and you are going to sit there capitalize by pumping out Stephen King movies. In 2019 besides IT part 2, we’re getting a remake of Pet Sematary, another mediocre movie based on a Stephen King novel. I personally would avoid this and any of the remakes of his flicks, as none of the originals were even that good. The books are better. If you’re going to sit there and waste time just go read the book. I give this movie

2 out of 5 stars.

Postscript:
For a company that said it wasn’t going to do the child gang fuck because it was “going to far.” They sure had no problem putting a teen in her skives and letting boys gawk at her, which seems just as bad. Not to mention, Hollywood is ass kissing the me too movement but there was two non consensual kisses in this. I guess that is why I review them and they make them, because they are clearly people who have their shit together./sarcasm

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Movie Review

Introduction

I probably should have done a year ago, but decided to wait until the hype died down. This is all about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Regardless of what you may have heard about this picture, it really isn’t what you think and that’s not the quote Luke Skywalker or I should say paraphrase. So we’re going to go right into it and see whether or not the Last Jedi is really as bad as I and other people thought it was upon first viewing.

Plot
Why can’t quite remember when it was set, I do know this clearly takes place a few years after the events of The Force Awakens. Rebellion is being chased down by the new Empire and basically it’s kind of a greatest hits of The Empire Strikes Back.

Characters
All the same characters from The Force Awakens are back and they introduce a couple of new characters, none of which are overly interesting. There is Rose Tico, who is a minor character and doesn’t really offer much outside of being a potential love interest for Finn. There is also General Holdo, which is played by Laura Dern, not a overly interesting character. The code breaker, a uninspired name, but basically a new Lando like character, played by Benicio del Toro, who was a lot of fun and I enjoy that character, but sadly the whole side quest to find him what’s a complete waste of a B storyline.

Acting
It could have been so much worse in terms of the acting but really it was fine.

Dialogue
Dialogue has some quirks but we’re used to this by now, because we seen Star Wars so often and the language has always been one of the biggest jokes about Star Wars. With the exception of a “your mama” joke at the beginning of the movie, it is still a Star Wars film and it’s nothing to really complain about.

Subtext
Regardless of which side you’re on in this debate, if you think it’s Pro female or if you think it’s all anti-male, you are wrong, those interpretations of both bullshit. The film is really shallow of subtext and I don’t find any.

Conclusion
The Last Jedi is a flawed film, but still not the worst movie to have ever been put to celluloid. It has its moments of enjoyment and some weird things, none of which are really new to Star Wars Universe in my mind, they just seen fresh because of the way Rian Johnson did them. The hatred for this film is way too overblown and fanboys have become so nit-picky over the last 20 years, that ultimately they’ll hate everything put to the screen. While I’m not particularly a huge fan of this installment, I recognize that the film is not really as bad as I initially thought in apoun three different viewings, has it’s moments. Particularly, I really like seeing Yoda as a force ghost, it’s too bad they couldn’t bring back Ewan McGregor as well as Anakin Skywalker himself, who could have helped Luke in that particular scene. Still, I might go see episode 9, regardless of if I do or don’t, this film is not to blame, as it’s just another OK film in the franchise.

Castle Rock Series Review

Introduction

Today we’re going to look at the JJ Abrams produced Castle Rock for HULU. Castle Rock is named after a town in a lot of Stephen King novels. So is Castle Rock worthy of being part of Stephen King’s world? We will find out.

Plot

The plot focuses around a young black man, who is being raised by white parents in Castle Rock, Maine. One day he goes missing and is later found on the lake without hypothermia or any frostbite, he might even be the potential killer of his adopted father. In typical Stephen King fashion, none of this is truly as it seems and ultimately it leads to a weird ending.

Characters/Acting

The best developed character happens to be the main lead, who is super fantastic. The rest of the cast is pretty decent. Only two characters really seem to stand out besides the main character, those are the adoptive mother and the weird mute prisoner.

Style

Style is decent, doesn’t really strayed too much from typical television fare at the moment, but otherwise, it is fine.

Dialogue

Very good, nothing seems awkward and everything seems genuine, even in a story about the supernatural.

Conclusion

Castle Rock is not your typical scary show, if anything it is more reminiscent of the X-Files in the 90s. Sadly it’s not as interesting or engaging as the X-Files was, but it has potential here and there. If you are looking for straight up scary, this is not it. This is tension building up until the final moments which you may find intriguing. I personally do not like any of this whatsoever. Occasionally there is an interesting aspect but it’s only cringe, never really scary. I love all the Easter eggs to Stephen King stories but ultimately none of that is really worthwhile if you have to sit through a show this painful to watch. I find that this show is always pretty bland when it could be a lot more intriguing and I don’t see myself watching any more seasons. I think you will feel the same way too. Should you find yourself wanting to watch this, feel free to, but otherwise I give it a :

Netflix’s The Haunting Of Hill House Series Review

INTRODUCTION

Just got finished watching Netflix new series The Haunting of Hill House. Let’s dive into the finer nuances of the show and see if it’s worth watching.

PLOT
The story focuses on a family that used to live in Hill House, but have now become an estranged family, since their time there. This is nothing like Shirley Jackson’s original 1959 novel, but it is an interesting concept nonetheless.

CHARACTERS
It mostly centers on a family of six, which spent a summer at Hill House. To the series credit it does try to develop the whole family through flashbacks and modern-day storytelling, woven throughout the whole series. Ultimately, though, the series fails to develop the characters will enough for us to care about. They focus too much on the pitfalls of the family and how they become broken as opposed to developing them well-rounded.

ACTING
The acting in this series is actually pretty good, considering it’s a Netflix original, which usually lends itself to be pretty terrible, with the exception of 1922. The weakest point is one of the younger siblings, who becomes a heroin addict, while the strongest acting happens to be the director’s own wife who plays a lesbian. The children actors are also fantastic. Regardless it’s believable that they are real family regardless of time frame they are in.

STYLE
The style of the show was nothing to write home about it looks exactly like everything on television at the moment, so it doesn’t stray from that particular aspect and offers us nothing new in terms of visuals.

SUBTEXT
The show is essentially about family and I think Hill House has become an analogy of how easy it is for things to go south in an instance and change the lives of everyone involved. in this case, it is the possible mental illness of the family.

CONCLUSION
Why the show does somethings correct it fails overall. This show could have been better as a one-off movie instead of a one-off series because if they decide to do a sequel, I have no clue where they’re going to go with such and I don’t know if people are even interested in anything past this. The scares are unoriginal and lame with the exception of one. Story itself is okay minus a few things here and there was just don’t really make sense. At one point the lady playing the lesbian comes up from having just going down on her lover and you can see gash juice on her chin. No straight character, with the exception of Comedy has ever had a scene where where she has come up with cum on her chin. The fact the girl is a lipstick lesbian makes me think the scene was put in only to entice men to watch it. otherwise there was no point to the scene. The build-up to the end just was not there nor was there any tension throughout and the ending wasn’t very satisfactory. Although it was bittersweet and a decent tie up of the whole story.

Kagemas: Christmas Presence Movie Review

INTRODUCTION

I’m reviewing another movie that is a Shudder exclusive, called Christmas Presence. Shudder has way better original content than Netflix does, but is this one of them? Short answer is no, it is not.

PLOT

An assortment of friends spend Christmas together at their well to do gay designer friend’s house. A spirit or ghost of some type inhabits the land. Bedlam ensues and people are killed leading to a dumb ending. Think Evil Dead with Hill House and you have this pile of dung.

CHARACTERS

Not well developed. 3 out of 5 characters are LGBT, we know this, cause they tell us and the characterized aspects are black and white, very unrealistic to those of us who have known LGBT people. Flamboyant gay man is flamboyant, the lesbian is a dude, the bi character is a straight male perpetrated fantasy, the black straight chick is angry and her beta cuckhold husband is in love with the bi white chick. Also, the gay man is in love with the bi white chick. The male lesbian is dating the bi white chick and the straight black chick is jealous of her. I’m not joking about any of this. The bi white chick also rants about the media and the treatment of LGBT as more of an alt-lite voice. This implies that leftists really have no clue on how to support diversity or show LGBT people as they truly are. Did I mention how they let us know how gay these characters are but the only kiss is between a gay man and the bi women?

ACTING

Alright, but it is not believable that any of these twats are friends for even a second.

STYLE

It looks cheap and indie, as opposed to Summer of 84, that feels big budget and could be released into theaters. The effects are decent, but nothing cutting edge or new.

CONCLUSION

This movie is not the worst movie ever, it is better than some of your old school, run of the mill, B flicks. You can watch it without cringing and maybe you might enjoy it, inspite of the flaws. That said, this movie is not for me.
