    Really didn't mean to bring up his bad feelings about all those things he mentioned either...just reported on a unique film I saw, that's all...the "I have better things to do with my time and money, etc., etc". is a bit pointed comparing himself toward those that did go and see it, isn't it?
    And oddly, the guy gets very good actors to work in his films, top stars...just like he did for a laughable pos he made,"Noah". I guess no one reads the scripts ?
    Jeezuz man, it's just a movie, not a life choice.

    Lots of guys have miss steps and Noah is definitely his.

    But Black Swan, The Wrestler, and now mother!, imo, are great films.

    All good, huh?.
    Certainly didn't mean to tweak anyone...just a movie mention from a would be reviewer, on my part.
    It is true, I've found, the what is one man's meat, is another man's poison...

    C'mon Tafnac...sure the cast was top notch, that's why I went...but the giant rock people? You didn't get a chuckle out of them? I was thinking Transformers...not biblical epic.
    The Wrestler was superb, though. Just watched it again...

    All in all, he is an interesting film maker, and worth my $ 8.50 ( senior discount), to go for...
    I'm probably too old to feel the passion of a younger man politically about a film maker or actor's affilliations. The yarn is the thing for me.
    I go just because I've always been a film freak, was a film student once a hundred years ago, so unless a convicted pedophile, their politics really mean zero to me about seeing a film.
    I mean Sean Penn is, or at least was, an asshole of extraordinary degree, imo, but I think he is a great actor.

    I thought they were based on the nephilim, with a ton of creative license and some other legends from jewish folklore mixed in.
    Anyway, it's a character study set around the flood myth legend. I didn't mind some liberties with the particulars of the story. That's happened throughout the years with mythology anyway.

    I thought requiem for a dream was really good too. But I'll only ever watch that movie once--to painful to even consider rewatching...even if it has jennifer connelly ass to ass with another woman.

    Yeah, forgot that one, Requiem...brilliant acting.
    Best actress came out of that, I think.
    But to this day, I remember, when the rock people first came running across the screen, both my gf and I looked at each other immediately, with the same wtf look on our faces...
    But I would watch it again.

    Based them off the Watchers.
    But in the role of the Nephilim.
    In the bible the Watchers are the progenitors of the Nephilim.
    Watchers mean Bishops/Overseers.
    On Earth overseeing the mining of gold and protecting boundaries.
    But this type of Gold is in human ore, not rock ore.
    And the Watchers are spiritual beings, not flesh beings.

    But being spirit they can dwell within a fleshly being if said beings are set at the right setting.
    Some of these Watchers did the worst thing they could do, being the guardians of boundaries they themselves crossed a boundary they should not have crossed.
    These Watchers stopped observing, warding, reporting... essentially cops who did not want to do any paperwork, desk duty, or serving and protecting anymore.
    Their protection was so humanity could achieve the full maturation process of our priceless gold producing DNA.
    Then all the Watchers would be able to harvest that gold.
    But because some of the Watchers got greedy and lusted after the gold before it was ready they lost their composure. And because of that our DNA is corrupted and cannot produce pure gold which is their energy/food source.

    And now dwelling inside the daughters of Cain these Watchers in Women form found mates in the sons of Seth and intermarried the two tribes of humanity at the time. Except one tribe brought with it the power of the Mark of Cain as well as that of the power of the Watchers.
    Of these daughters of Cain were born the Nephilim and they having the hunger for gold like their fathers/originals had to have it satisfied in whatever means necessary.
    The lessons and examples we get from them are the love of gold which is then like a prism used to create many different teachings to corrupt mankind.

    The Nephilim are the offspring between the Daughters of Cain who had been 'possessed' by the Watchers and the Sons of Seth who were a line of humanity set apart as clean from this kind of spiritual DNA manipulation.
    The Nephilim (nephews/descendents) of the Watchers are of course the spitting image of their spiritual fathers. Not physically of course as the Watchers were not physical. But they are copies of the characters of these beings. So in essence these Nephilim are the Watchers now trapped in bodies of flesh and blood that while being strong large and long lasting are still prone to disease and eventually death.

    And their lineage is seen in the bible as the Canaanites and the Semites in the Levant and why the old testament commands for the Israelites to completely destroy the Canaanites. Not to spare a thing because their culture is too corrupted and is beyond saving.
    Can you rehabilitate a tribe of child raping cannibals?
    Or should you enslave them instead as punishment, maybe take their women for wives?
    If you do not destroy them you risk your young and weak learning their fucked up ways and that shit spreading in your culture.
    It is a mercy to destroy them, for all involved as they could not live in a normal society without feeling such a deadly shame that it can turn them into acts of even more madness than baby raping cannibalism.

    Of course mankind does not heed the lesson and because of lust or greed sold as peace and love in order to save the lives of the wretched beasts so we can 'learn' from them or sometimes enslave them to work for us, or spare their women and children out of 'mercy' so our men can have their way with them out of view.
    Remember Operation Paperclip and how that lead to our NASA development?
    Same concept.

    Inevitably humanity learns lessons/examples of the Watchers and in that way the Watchers teach humanity how to do lustful, greedy, powercraven things. Not in how a student learns from a teacher but like how a child learns from his society, culture, family/friends... his setting. The setting determines how the programming takes.

    Right now we are 'as if in the time of Noah'.
    In the time of Noah there was massive genetic amalgamation between man and beast like there is now.
    The Nephilim were in charge of the culture, society, religion, government, arts, etc...
    They had the power. They eventually always get the power. All the power.
    And when that happens there is a cataclysm that cuts them down to size. But they always come back like the creepy crawlers they are.
    In the aftermath the Nephilim cycle has to start all over again and the tares grow up next to the wheat.
    Until the Reapers (Part of the Watchers who did not fall) show up to take care of their old brothers who could not stay in their lane.
    Bundling up all that chaff into the ovens to burn up and provide heat for the baking of the wheat so we all have a little extra bread.

    But hey, first God soaked them up in water.
    Then he said he would never do that to the earth again.
    You cant make a cake without breaking a few eggs into the batter.
    And you cant make batter without lots of water.
    When that masa of batter is trapped in one solid clump you let it rest.
    Then the yeast inside will rise up again like it always does.
    It cant stop itself from puffing itself up.
    That is when God says... Enough, It Is Ready!
    And he slides that dough into the furnace so all of that rebel yeast-like culture dies a fiery death.
    Giving the world the greatest cake ever baked.

    Are you at the right setting to sit down and break some bread?

    Requiem was depressing as hell, although the double dong scene lightens things up.

    There was a sizable amount of money missing from my paychecks each week and I had only noticed it now. The resolution is I am getting the back pay on my next paycheck. Turns out it wasn't about getting paid OT, the payroll rep had the incorrect hourly wage for myself.

    Blast the Washington Post if you must but the story bears sharing

    Masked gunman rampages through Nashville church; usher uses personal weapon to subdue shooter

    NASHVILLE — A gunman wearing a ski mask stormed into a Nashville-area church on Sunday, shooting seven people before attacking a church usher who then confronted the man with a weapon and subdued him, Nashville police said.

    The shooting — which left a 39-year-old woman dead — occurred shortly before noon at Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Antioch, Tenn., about 12 miles southeast of downtown Nashville. Police identified the alleged shooter as Sudan-native Emanuel Kidega Samson, 25, of Tennessee, who they said is a legal resident of the United States. Police said Samson will be charged with murder and attempted murder.

    Don Aaron, a spokesman for the Nashville Police Department, said Samson drove up to the church and shot and killed a woman who was standing near her vehicle in the parking lot. The gunman — who police said was armed with two handguns — then entered the church through a rear door, shooting and wounding six people inside.

    At some point during his rampage, the gunman also pistol-whipped a church usher, causing “significant injuries” to the man, Aaron said. The usher, 22-year-old Robert Engle, confronted the gunman, police said, and during a struggle, Samson was injured with a shot from his own gun. The usher then ran to his car and retrieved a handgun, police said.

    Aaron said the usher ensured the gunman did not make any more movements until officers arrived on the scene. “It would appear he was not expecting to encounter a brave individual like the church usher,” Aaron said.

    Nashville Police Chief Steve Anderson praised Engle for intervening: “We believe he is the hero today.”

    Police identified the deceased victim as Melanie Smith, 39, of Smyrna, Tenn. The six surviving gunshot victims, all described as being between the ages of 60 and 83, are being treated at Nashville-area hospitals, as is the usher. Police said the shooter also was taken to a hospital to be treated for a gunshot wound.
