As I have said many times here before, the biggest problem with the recent Bond movies is the lack of substantial, meaningful, villainy.
'Bond' - that is to say, as per the old books - never messed about with too many niceties about who Fleming was depicting as 'evil.'
Today we are stuck with all of this 'political correctness.'
I wanna do this kind of pic. |
Actually I just this second decided that I will post the pic I've been sitting on for a while. It is a generic 'pretty photograph' but it will indicate that there must have been something we had over here which was indicating something 'after the fashion.'
And let's be straight about it. I clearly said that there was a complex, sophisticated, well-planned, well-funded and organized, plot to do something 'not nice' to Tom Cruise while he was finishing his latest movie in London.
See I don't like this. It's a pretty pic. It's also a brutal photograph. |
He got the tip-off. There is a body-double out there now.
So. Secondary targets. And that's because when they wind someone up to 'do something' you can't just 'wind them down again.'
And here I was trying my darndest to stay away from all of this and try and establish some 'good vibes...'
Sigh.
The horses Bill and I were going for won. Came 1, and 2. In correct order.
It's not a great idea to tip race horses though, and it's an even worse idea to actually go out and gamble on them.
Great horses, great owners and trainers. I was hoping for the best for all of them and not wishing to, as they say 'put the mockers on.'
British singer, actor, and activist Leona Lewis. I'd try and cast her in my Bond flick, and I'd want her to sing the theme song. |
I suppose it is a bit of an art staying above the mess that is unfolding around us.
It can be done but you need to stay focused on the good things - in fact not just the good ones, but the excellent ones.
Leona Lewis should have sung the Bond theme song, and it should have been something written by someone with the cred of the person who has penned global hits for Adele and Beyonce - IE Ryan Tedder.
And so why wasn't Leona Lewis in the movie? She's British.
If the producers had a grasp of the word 'excellence,' they could have achieved a better outcome across all fronts.
But then, I also have to admit, to take the bull by the horns and put the spotlight on real villainy is going to take some guts doing...
Because real villainy today is ugly. And, it is more or less unknown to the ordinary member of the public what the face of it truly is, or who that face belongs to.
The public has been forced to fall in love with criminals, and it actually believes in a criminal mindset as the one that always leads to material success. And therefore it has this delusional idea in its head that 'realism' points to real politik as the 'right way.'
...And that such a mentality has no consequences.
And so the belief is that guys who lie cheat and steal will get away with it unless they are stupid enough to get caught, but especially they will get away with it if they really lie cheat and steal on a grand scale. Then they are certain to get away with it and escape all consequences.
Man, the secrets we give away here... To the switched on, though, of course. You'd need to know what the reference point here is. |
So it will take a lot of internal strength to expose the true villainy. And in escapist fantasy/fiction, nonetheless producers and creators are telling a kind of an important truth if they manage to lay hold of the right characterization and present it in the fictional framework.
The main problem is that the public's most cherished idols - are the most evil people of all. The minute you start building a 'characterization' in a fiction setting, fictional story narrative context - and the public recognize who you are really talking about, and that it is someone who is a putative 'political or public hero,' according to preexisting media-led mythology, they will quickly deny it in their minds. They will shake their heads as a collective and all go 'no, cannot be.'
And no matter how much factual dissonance there is even in the outer publicly-known accounts, they have already been blinded by the 'Wicked Queen' and are seeing things through a distorted mirror.
To have someone 'falsify' a record is actually not the same thing as bribing someone to create a 'real' record which would never - could never - have been created without the bribe.
So there are plenty of people with 'true' or 'real' records in the world.
Someone was underage, never finished high school, but, he got two 'firsts' at Cambridge... The record is not false. To make matters worse, there were never any Stalinist/Marxists at Cambridge either, were there... Who were literal traitors to their actual own mother country. Never happened, did it...
Barack Obama has a 'true record,' for instance, of his birth. His mother living just prior to recorded birth, at the farm owned by Adnan Khashoggi.
And Adnan Khashoggi, being, as you will recall, a client of one, 'Jeffrey Epstein.'
Ah but I draw a long bow, right?
I mean. I wouldn't bet on a race where the odds appeared to be close to certainty as a racing bet.
But now you want me to believe some BS about Khashoggi, Epstein, Obama (and numerous others) all being connected by accident and coincidence.
Uh-huh.
Off you go then.
Fleming has to go back to Dukes Bar. Write something new! |
You put your money on it.
Me, I'm going to don my reading socks...
And boy when I start to spin out some 'outlier analysis' here you had better have that 'Doomsday escaper's plan' of yours all ready to go and you had better already have gotten a good two days' head start at least on the take-off time!
The absolute worst thing about this kind of 'discussion' and 'putting certain things out there,' is that automatically, if the 'other side' gets to see that you know it, they will change their game plan.
And if you know who to look out for, well, you can 'see them coming.'
So what I'm about to say next does have its downsides.
Have you examined the average age of all of the people doing all of the 'random killings' say over uh, I dunno, say since Breivik?
Told you it would take guts.
...This track is a heavily re-mixed arrangement of a Leona Lewis global hit song 'Bleeding Love.'
