Hume Lake - Day 8: Too Much Zombie

-
I didn't sleep very well last night. I woke up around 3:30 a.m. from a nightmarish zombie-vampire attack. I was somehow stuck inside a German Expressionistic silent film about zombies. It was very vivid. Lo and behold, I went back to sleep, and around 6, I woke up again, from a continuation of the zombie attack, but this time I was at my grandparents' place trying to defend my family with whatever weaponry I could come up with in the garage. Fell back asleep, and I was in a further continuation of the dream. This time I was a woman officer with two guys trying to scavenge a deserted part of the city. I ran across a street, just as hundreds of girl vampire-zombies came marching after me from the left. I quickly looked to my right, and there was a huge military exhibition coming up the street after the zombie girls. An Ed Harris-type officer came out with guns ready. I quickly tried to climb away, but the leader of the zombie girls pulled me down. Ends up they weren't real zombie-vampire girls, just dressed up like them -- er, some of them were -- they were marching for zombie-vampire civil rights, and the leader had it out for me, because I had been trying to kill them. I huddled into the street as the officers and zombie-vampires surrounded me. And then I woke up.

A Clockwork Orange - Stanley Kubrick

I'm gonna need some time to develop my thoughts on this one. I'm very glad I finally got around to watching this film by one of my top-five favorite directors, Stanley Kubrick. Overall, I think it insightfully captured what it means to desire sex, control, and comfort. A fascinating film that includes images of Christ, orgies, violence, government, politics, and scientific treatment. Iconic images that will certainly last forever. 4 out of 5 Netflix, 8 on a 10-scale. A Clockwork Orange

Hume Lake - Day 22: Snow!

-
Okay, so maybe just flurries, but still. There are signs of more snow on the way. According to natives, it's coming sooner than usual. Today is kinda slow, and I'm trying to relax. I slept for about 10 hours, but I didn't feel well rested when waking up. I had a strange dream I was a baron, a duke, a Mr. Darcy-character. I had just inherited property with a huge mansion surrounded by wetlands. Apparently, I had just accidentally killed the love of my life, Ann. Her sisters were seeking vengeance against me, but I kept trying to explain it was an accident. I was out in the marshes, and I noticed the mansion was on fire. I was gonna make my escape, but I decided to quickly rush back to the mansion and save my mother. When I got there, my mother didn't realize the girls were trying to kill me. I said something like,"I don't care if it all burns to the ground. I have no attachment to these materials." Anyways, I'm greatly anticipating the coming week's

Star Trek - J.J. Abrams

Star Trek is a highly enjoyable film! I loved the effects, the relationships and history of the characters. Great work with casting young versions of the original gang. The effects were stunning. Loved the creatures, ships, fighting sequences -- the film was really exciting! If I was to critique it, I would say that it really does not follow the Star Trek canon. Overall, it feels more like a fan film than anything else. What we see is not a prequel. What we actually see is an alternative reality to what we know of Trek history. Therefore, the filmmakers can get away with the film not following the canon. Time Travel and Alternative Realities allow authors to explain away anything. They are cop-outs. They are devices that provide a simple solution to a complex problem. So I would criticize the film for that -- HOWEVER, I love those kind of things, and I thought the fact that they were used didn't take me out of the story. 3 out 5 Netflix, 8 on a 10-scale.
