thought ! movies of the future

we were sitting around the tube watching mr. le display his video game prowess. throwing down

so back a couple hundred years ago people in different countries tried to go across seas and take over their land...

gangs from other cities tried to go to other cities to take them over... such as make money for selling drugs...

history always repeats itself

thought ! recipe for change

two drops of bordom
with a dash of fatigue
my need to be pleased
equates to postmortem
super seeding the act to breathe
lay waste, make haste
to find busy work
change pace, new place
different is the perk

thought ! karate kid

thumbs down.. way down.. i already know and you know what? i haven't even seen it. (yet)

i only bitch and complain because a huge oversight in the title ruined the gem it truly could have been. well a kid appealing gem.

lets walk through this.. and find what the directors or produces were thinking or not thinking. i of course opt for the latter.. allow me to elaborate.

Karate Kid (1984)


Plot:
A handyman/martial arts master agrees to teach a bullied boy karate and shows him that there is more to the martial art than fighting

~simple clean 80's style triumph over evil.. Japanese guy teaching a Japanese art.. called karate..no brainer...




the karate kid (2010)



Plot:
Work causes a single mother to move to China with her young son; in his new home, the boy embraces kung fu, taught to him by a master.

~looks like they head to china in this one.. and get taught kung fu... ?wtf? hmm so you mean to tell me the movie isnt going to be about karate??.. its about a chinese guy teaching kung fu? hmm so why call it karate kid?? sorry.. this is sad. the movie should be called KUNG FU KID. no argument. and it still would of appealed to the same audience. this frustrates me as a consumer, if the director or community behind this movie, even JACKIE CHAN himself.. can stand by and see this painful mistake go unchanged.. i question the integrity of the movie to be worth watching. i hear all the karate and kung fu masters who have dedicated their whole beings in mastering each art separately and honoring the culture behind each style, are rolling in their graves and slamming the dojo floors around the world in bewilderment. well thats what im doing at least..

sheesh..

just a rant, ill probably see it with my newphew anyhow.. but you best believe ill educate the lil' guy and set him straight.

thought ! new years

30 *cough*.. came and went. and with it, a slice off the old me persay. im not predicting instant change, but perhaps a select few applications of a new mantra, motto and some meditation. i could practice and set a habit in motion if im lucky. More zen focus!! this being one of them:

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

channeling zen, observing life around me. listen to the signs. be patient and mutable in my quest to be v2.0 :).. if the web is evolving, why shouldnt i along with it? huh? appreciate life in its raw splendor and improve my abilities that allow me to translate this splendor. its important i leave my erratic 20's wearing my scars proudly and with purpose. and with my directed energies i can show those around me the wisdom ive so graciously aquired from graduating to adulthood. ha
