War Of The Worlds, Amerika & Hoax News





This is amazingly suspect. Since the 2008 South Ossetia War which involved Russia, Georgia, and South Ossetia, there has been serious tension that threatens the entire region. A region sensitive for Oil Gas and other natural reserves, and geographical access to those reserves. The Russian Government and many in the region, accuse the United States of interference in its former states and in that region in particular, and at the time there were even accusations of covert military involvement in the war.


Weird...

Whatever the political gains the opposition party members would gain by protesting, there are serious questions being asked in the above RT piece, why did a "State Television" run a reckless piece replicating a Russian invasion, with what many Georgian people are alleging as, poor warning that the invasion was a work of fiction? A case for Psychological warfare?


Georgian Girl claiming "Russian troops were protecting them from Georgian Troops."
In the 2008 Georgian/S.Ossetian War, many people saw this as an example of Fox News censorship
"There are grey areas in war..."


On October 30, 1938, Orsen Wells read and produced a 3 part mini series as a modern version of H.G. Wells classic A War Of The Worlds
. The radio show was relayed live on Halloween, and cut through regular broadcasting, it was so realistic that it caused widespread panic, and many Journalists and socual commentators are making similarites between the two media tests... (Psyops anyone???)


This phenomenon is not new especially, when "Aliens" are involved. In 1977 British ITN news was interrupted by "A Real Alien Message", and it has happened many times before. In the 1980's British, and especially American Television made many feature length drama about Nuclear Holocaust with Soviet Russia, Russian Invasion of the U.S., or Alien Invasion of Earth. For anyone growing up in the 80's the fear of Nuclear attack appeared real... At the time (and perhaps now), a lot of this type of "entertainment" was discribed as very realistic, or by others as blatent fear mongering, and even Propoganda.


War Of The Worlds - 2005

There is a current trend of remaking many of the Apocolypse style movies and shows of the 1980s. Here is a list of a few examples of those Television shows and Films:

There is a concept in the so called "conspiracy theory" community that in the near future, 2012 in particular, that a Alien or religeous diety will be artificially be projected throughout earth to unite humanity for a new phase of our existance. In a recent BBC Advert, it would probably appear something like this.

AVATAR: Style Over Substance - Oh, but what style

 

The first 90 minutes of James Cameron's latest little personal film, Avatar, are jaw-droppingly beautiful.  One of the things that cinema is uniquely able to do is transform you into a place you've never imagined before - and Avatar does this amazingly.  The advanced motion capture technology and fully-realized CG alien realm, combined with the latest in 3D allow the viewer to enjoy a fully immersive experience - kind of like, well, controlling one's own personal avatar through Cameron's movie.  Within it you are able to experience moments of pure cinematic bliss.

And then... reality steps in.  The reality that Avatar eventually has to unwind its pedantic, cliche-ridden story - basically Last of the Mohicans/Dances With Wolves, with a touch of white-man guilt thrown in for good measure.

Now, this story is well-known and well-used for a reason. It works. We want to root for the underdogs. We want to believe in a world in which nature has inherent value and we are nourished by it. We want to feel a deeper connection to all things - and embrace the mysticism inherent to that connection. We want to fight against corporate greed and militaristic evil. Those are all good things and so we willingly follow down the well-worn path of this story because it is heart-felt and it is comforting.

With this film I realize what the problem I have with Cameron is - he is an incredible craftsman, but not an artist. And Avatar shows this with great clarity.

Cameron plays it so safe here, that he sucks all the magic out of this world that he has conjured for us.  It's as if he is so visionary, so far-reaching in his technical achievements that he has nothing left for the actual story, which is what ultimately frustrates me because having spent the $400 million on the tech, he had an opportunity to do something really ground-breaking, something truly revolutionary.

Instead, we have the basic soldier goes native and winds up fighting with the natives and against his own country. Now this might be interesting if there was an actual difficult choice to be made here - like having to fight against his former friends and comrades, but Cameron obliterates any inherent drama in that decision by allowing everyone he cared about go AWOL with him, and also making the remaining soldiers and corporate goons paper-thin "bad guys" so they can be easily disposed of without any internal conflict. Gee, nothing like eliminating any tension and drama from the last 3rd of the movie where it sorely needs it, eh?

And as far as this being a visionary Sci-Fi flick - forget about it. This is Kindergarten-level Science Fiction - everything is spoon-fed to the viewer with very little mystery allowed. The viewer never has to "catch up to the film" because they are seeing it clearly in their rear view mirror.

And really, do I need to see yet another exo-skeleton battle in the 3rd act - like, oh I don't know...
Aliens?


Ultimately, I just want to smash Cameron's head against a wall and scream - "Hey dipshit, you had me in the palm of your hand - now spend the extra scratch and have a real script doctor polish up your story so I don't see every single thing coming my way!" How about throwing me a freakin' bone - like oh I don't know, like a little twist, or a misdirection, or hidden meaning - how about letting me bathe in the air of mystery a little bit, eh? How about some actual art beneath your amazing matrix of CGI - how about some fucking poetry!

Oh well - if I want that I can always throw this baby in the DVD player:

Now there's a master craftsman AND master artist!


As far as Avatar goes, if you want to see this movie, you really must spend the extra cash to see it in a big-ass theater with 3D glasses - it's all about the wow factor.

This movie is so schizophrenic, I have to give it two different ratings:
