Another short post ─ my third in as many days? Although my wife had to work a full day at the Thai restaurant where she works part-time, and she left in the latter morning to begin putting in that long workday ─ she has an 11 a.m. start ─ I lost well over two hours of my afternoon because I had to watch a movie.
I had attempted to watch it last evening after my younger brother got home, but I think we only got about 17 minutes into it when he began venomously bitching that he'd seen enough and ordering me to tune in something else.
I had tuned it in via our Android TV Box which he doesn't understand how to operate.
Fuming, I proceeded to reluctantly back out of the movie, but he just would not hold his tongue about not wanting to watch it. I finally had to shut him up by saying something like, "Yeah, I heard ya! I don't wanna hear any more about it!"
I almost walked out on him and left him to watch basic cable T.V. on his own, but I reigned in my rage, and tuned in an episode of one of the T.V. series we follow.
We spake nothing unto each other until after the episode finished, and we were early into an episode of a different series before some communication occurred. Thereafter, the tempers soothed out.
I hope the imperious ass recognized that he needs to be more bloody civil. I have other things to be doing with my evenings than sitting there watching T.V. shows with him.
So what was the movie?
It was a two-hour-and-40-minute visual extravaganza from 2018 titled Ready Player One.
My brother relished the Guardians of the Galaxy movie and its sequel, and also Avatar. Why the hell he had to be so damned difficult over this movie is something I was unable to not take personally.
When I finished watching it this latter afternoon, I was definitely entertained, and even felt my eyes burning from emotion a few times. I have always been a romantic at heart.
However, I despise 'virtual reality' and the people who are addicted to it, even though I do understand the attraction. With the transhumanist agenda and the social credit 'passports' that wicked people in power seem intent on subjugating humanity with in the present world that I live in, I find myself no longer willing to find beauty in the sort of fantasy worlds that this sort of technology ─ as richly displayed in the movie ─ did at one time hold for me.
As for the movie itself, that romantic in me was deeply drawn to the character actress Olivia Cooke so ably portrayed. Sure, the avatar character was cute enough, but I am referring to the human character ─ the movie's male lead character had my full identification for falling for her.
It was a happy ending, for sure.
And that's all the time I have for this post.
