Noooo...no, no, no, no

Honestly I haven't seen all the episodes yet (I'm not sure if I'm going to) But I still want to review how bad it is xd. Why we love family guy? There are several really good reasons to love it. 1) Peter Griffin is the biggest idiot on the planet (after undecided voters in the episode where Louis runs for major). Peter Griffin is the crash of the concept of family I mean Cleveland will never fart on her quite beautiful daughters head. That was what actually was funny about family guy, the gap between the individuals, their non-collective life. They even were of the different societies or something. While in Cleveland show those are the real existing cultural differences. I mean the black family, who are having redneck neighbors and the bears. Where the fuck is quagmires sexuality? I don’t mean they should have copied the family guy, no it’s not that at all. but what is something that they are making fun of in this show? (they have copied the “when” episodes – when someone states a stupid proximity and it actually has it’s own scene (for example ‘I’m as honest as Mel Gibson when he apologized Jews’ © Peter Griffin) and they seem the only enjoyable thing here. Where are the losers and pseudo winners? Where is the uncertain leadership of Louis? We can see all those things in Simpsons at some point.

Where the fuck is Brian? Is that beer Brian? Is that big guy hiding the fact that he is smoking a morality,a dignity of the show? Stewie will have to kill you guys. While the creators have not copied the main differences and attitudes and fucking phonic conversations they’ve managed to keep the same language, expressions and phrases. And everybody should oppress Cleveland Jr. Why the fuck does Cleveland defend him, trying to find friends for him et.c.

What is ideal Cleveland show for me? It’s a whole family oppressing Jr. More depressed stepdaughter would be the way of making fun of the general teen attitudes not the “- oh, hi giiirl” humor, I think it’s quite an old one in teenage dramas (oh is she actually dancing for the football team? With the hope that she does not, I’ll continue watching the other episodes form season one because of you Seth, only because of you ))) . (She might also be emo, would make sense) and more active wife. What the fuck she always remains silent and she is not even sexy in a social sense and none of her neighbors are having her pictures in the wardrobe (or do they?)

All right, I did not wanted to be too critical but that’s what happens man…that’s what happens. As a conclusion I would say it’s like the Meg episode, here it is (the remote) no one will judge you…

Strategy Games

The two best PC strategy games are the medieval total war 2 and the civilization 4. I'll try to explain why are they having so much sympathy of mine. Firstly “the total war” is having two dimension of game, the global strategy - like moving the armies, priests and diplomats; creating cities and managing them and the war strategy – after your troops enter some or the other hostile city or come over with the hostile army, you will have the attack menu where you can actually be the part of the fight, place and move the troops, order them to attack and so on. The last one is more graphic sphere of the game and is quite different from the global strategy.

Civilization 4 only contains global strategy dimension but the crucial point is here the cities, their religions, their cultural dependence or influence. You can develop one or the other sides of the cities influence (religion, culture, science) over hostile or neutral cities, it makes their conquest much easier. The development of the places you own are just like in medieval total war – not much depended on each other. You create settler in one city and create another town on the other place. Place should be chosen wisely, it will impact the economy of the city and the country through the whole game. The quotes that are going through the game appearing after the research or other development or the event (for example if is born or something important has been built or some religion or ideology has been created).

The diplomatic area in Civilization 4 is well developed. If you act wisely you could make other countries change their ideology (for example from socialism to communism) and there is quite a gap of anarchy between those two. If you are ready, it is a good strategic time to conquer their cities. The end is quite happy, the UN is created and some decisions are to be taken mutually. If you keep a peace and good relations with the other countries you are having a chance to be the UN main representative, than your mission becomes to make everything as peaceful as possible. Be careful of Armageddon ))

Sim city 4 is an amazing strategy game where you don’t actually have a war, you are a major of the city and you try to build it up, don’t have a lot of loans, keep the budget income rate upper than the outcome and take care of the electricity and water supply of the city. The police forces and prisons are quite important, just like education and health. I think it is in some sense very realistic game unlike the last two. It is more about the right decisions than the personal feelings or ideology. It’s not your greenness or socialism that decides if you will have a highly paid atomic bomb testing facility in the city, or not. It’s the financial situation of the city that actually forces you to do some or the other things. Be careful of the disasters like fire or tornado et.c. You will need a lot of fire trucks mate. I highly recommend this game to you all.

Empire Earth is one of my top 5s. What makes it different is the development from the Stone Age to the robotic. It’s a long like (for the first time it took 12 hours for me to get to the Modernity). There are quite a good wars but the war is not the main point of this game before it doesn’t come to the atomic era or if those are not the ships (unlike for example Cossacks or Eldorado where the number of troops you can produce is 4000 and over). It is more about your creativeness, because you have to use our own methods to defeat the hostile nations, you should be quite wise and overprotective. It is less about diplomacy or religions or cultures. It is just having one dimension – the life.

Cossacks and Eldorado are in some way same type of games. One is going on in Europe and the other one in America. Both are in the beginning of the industrial era and you cannot go further but the amount of troops that you can produce makes those games pretty crazy to play. There is a big amount of your adrenaline on those CDs in the game stores waiting for you to be produced properly. It is more about old Mongolian attitude towards the other games that makes it absolutely intense. You should produce a lot of fucking troops and fuck them up!

You guys want to see the real left wing movie? You want to see the soviet sci-fi? And therefore anti-utopia? Are you sure? It’s here on google videos with English subtitles. The name of the film comes from the Georgian name of the coriander. Amazing music by Gia Kancheli makes the film my top from all the movies made in soviet union. I’ve mentioned it was soviet, I don’t really mean the ideology of the film, but the actual place where it was made. How important is the free will? Is there anything else that may be more important than that? Can we make cactuses out of people? J (It’s quite an anti-vegeterian in this sense to be honn) but as I already said it is a proper anti-utopia, and at the same time the criticism of the modernism. The homo economicus as we can call it.

Directed by George Danelia.Authors of scenario: Danelia and Revaz Gabriadze. Check it out on imdb

After watching this film I realized first time in my life the importance of will and how can we ‘think what we are not thinking’. It’s a whole psychedelic trip. You should not just watch it, you should drop it, or fucking smoke it. So go on, waiting for your comments afterwards.

For watching the movie with english subtitles just follow the link (quality is the best it ould do): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2251461878127683608#

You'll need the second part later: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2251461878127683608#docid=8606387789179029392

Jim Jarmucsh

The poison of the honey bee Is the artist's jealousy
William Blake

I did not really want this blog to be too movie oriented but that’s what is happening; I’m so ‘movie mood’ the last days, it can’t become anything else. All his movies are black and white. This conflict of reality and consciousness is still on the top. In “the dead man” we see it quite clearly. First of all it’s a best critic of industrial society I’ve ever seen. I mean none of the films like that actually kills the one in the society. The leaving dead consciousness that’s what the Jonathan Blake in this movie is. He was hit by the bullet in the heart and his soul is kept by the Native American Nobody. ‘Stupid…stupid white man’. It’s got quite a lot to do with a trippy stuff; It might be either salvia, or DMT or Ayahuaska. I love the scene where the flowers made from the paper still have a smell, it says a lot about what is illusion and what is reality. It’s quite feminist in that way, I mean the woman that appears in the ‘industrial town’ is the one who has a lot from the ‘other kind of life’, while others are beasts basically. There’s a quite good critique of religion and racism but those two, and their cooperation is truly best criticized in ‘there will be blood’ by Paul Thomas Anderson. You will definitely love it if you did like ‘the dead man’. What Jarmusch doesn’t fail to do with his attitude towards “industrial” religion is his straight aggression: ‘looks like a god damn religious icon’. I don’t want to go further because it’s so fucken sacred you can’t just perceive it or take points from someone’s reviews. Strongly recommended for those, with ‘eastern’ attitudes and the reality distorter bastards xxx
The other movie of Jarmucsh I would love to review is “Down by law” starring Benigni. It’s about the freedom and the individualism, cultural differences that make freedom so fucken loud and rebellious. I scream, you scream, we all scream.
The main thing that I appreciate in this movie is the struggle to the freedom. It is in some way symbolic for me and therefore you actually feel their excitement though the plot and the actors are so not emotional (even the Italian character )) )

There is a pure critic in the ‘coffee and cigarettes’. That’s amazing how Jarmuschs movies don’t have an end. It’s a continuous state of being. Hypocrisy that exists in a relationship of friends; relatives; is a main standing point of the movie. What I love most is that the film is not trying to say something. it is just a pure realism with the crazy attempts of the characters to join the absolutely ridiculous in their consciousness nirvana with the generally approved methods, you know what I mean? )).
All Jarmuschs those films are black and white and that’s not because some superinteligence has divided the white from black while creating us.

Life is beutifull - Benigni

What is the best feeling that you experience when watching drama? Is it the one that you feel when you figure out some new things to you? is it a sorrow brought by harsh reality? Or is it happiness coming out from the fact that it's life, it's colored and it's going on now? Is it humor, sarcasm that actually makes us stronger because of that kind of attitude? Well...for me all of those are not only acceptable but also key experiences while watching the drama. That’s why I prefer it to the other kind of movies.
The main thing that makes differs 'Life is beautiful' from every film you have ever seen, is that you can feel all the aspects of drama altogether. There are they key moments in the movies what I call 'the top'. The best scenes you may see, feel, hear. While watching top scenes you may feel some kind of ball in your throat that contains your guilt, love, hate, fear and heroism. Imagine that moment going on through the whole film. It's amazing how scenario is divided into two parts happiness and sorrow in 'reality' but both of them have to do a lot with each other.
Quite authoritative for me movie reviewer and political psychoanalyst (philosopher in fact xd) Zizek argues this movie is just a manifestation of the family myth one of the key grounds of the contemporary ideology. I would like to argue that. I mean you could say that about 2012, or 'the day after tomorrow' et.c. In these films the reunion of family is an opposite to the end of the world (or at least something to do before the end comes). While in this movie no one else than a family member, especially the son of the main character could make sense. It's a replacing strategy. You place some other people in "Armageddon" (for example the guy whom Bruce Willis’s character saves could be replaced by someone other than his daughter’s bf) and it still works. Therefore we don't see mother in the second half of the movie and the reunion does not happen in the normal way. It's just son seeing her mom.
Anyways, in this movie there is a lot of illusionary happiness. Just like the Todd Solondz’s movie 'happiness' where the illusion is emphasized and the one who watches it, see's how fake it is, so it is a 'left' movie. While 'life is beautiful' is more based on the notion of happiness itself.

Anti-fa sarcasm that the movie reviewed contains is the best one i'v ever seen. It's a non-agressive version of 'Inglorious Bastards'. It actually makes fun of Nazism but does not contradict it and it's really important. The problem is not a type of ideology but the ideology itself. There's a scene where the main character says: "everyone does whatever they want" It's actually a solution to the Nazis and the ideology, that's the rule of the game that others don't really know. It’s too tolerant to Nazism and the Ideology through the whole film in some way.
Sometimes the 'kindness' game in the movie becomes so real that you even lose control on reality. Amazing movie, proudly standing in my top 10 list and waiting for better movies to be replaced.

You can watch it on Youtube, or get the dvd for 3 pounds in HMV
