There no such thing as The Devil It's just God when he's drunk
God downs a whole bottle of Jack Daniels them goes down to LA to have some fun
You want to find God then go down to Heart Attack aka The Bouldevard and the corner of Vine Street on a Saturday night
You'll meet God when he's at the bar next to you, he's on Jack straight
The third film has been planned for a long time
It involves BB and Nikki being grown up, Nikki looking for revenge on The Bride, Sophie and Elle also, and mentoring her
Elements like that
Whether it ever gets made or becomes another Vega Brothers we will see
It always relied on the timeline being right, the actors and characters being the right age
It obviously won't be called Kill Bill 3 though it would make them a trilogy
Quentin changes his concepts as he moves on and a lot of these never get made
Hateful Eight was originally going to be the direct sequel to Django but ended up as a new story
Lose The Arm has got to be the most horrific scene in the series
People have noted the parallel to Six Million Dollar Man
Steve wakes up and learns he has only his left arm remaining
Rudy explains it to him and we see the heart monitor
He tries to kill himself at night and the nurse saves him
He begs to die
Rude shows him the bionic arm and he rejects it, turns away
Alex is waking up to exact same situation
So we know what Steve went through, what the realty is for someone
In this case he cannot move or speak , he can just see and hear
Then the order to remove the arm
The boss gives the order and then walks away
The med team have to proceed
The instruction to put him back under, so the arm can be removed
Leaving him to wake up limbless
The silent scream that nobody hears
There is debate about how old the Matrix actually is
200 years like Morpheus states Several hundred years as some have surmised, given that this is the 6th version, which Morpheus didn't know Maybe it didn't matter The point is, with Neo injured, when they go above the clouds, Trinity sees the sun She sees the real sun, shining above the clouds The only human born in the Matrix, watching the artificial sin every day of their life, to see the real sun However the machines made the sun look in the matrix, would they be able to ever really capture it Then Trinity gets to see it for real, for one moment, with her real eyes Truly a glimpse of heaven that was waiting for her after she died The point is, we all FEEL whyand of course, Neo would never get to see it, even though he was there
Paradise Lost
Everyone knows who Helen Keller is, what she went through, the life she led
Not everyone has read her work, though it's well worth it as it's truly inspiring
She wrote a book about her religious faith, her belief in God called Light In My Darkness
One of the most profound things she wrote was on her concept of life after death, Heaven, reincarnation
She wrote that dying and leaving this place is like going into the next room "Only in the next room I will be able to see "
I like the idea that Helen is in the next room and she's can see
I also like to believe that Jenifer is in the next room, and there she is able to walk and run and dance again
His mother was a prostitute
John's father was a wealthy man who was married with a family
John's mother was a whore who died from a disease she caught
John never has the chance for a wife and family and envies that in David
It is a reminder what his father had and took for granted
His father was greed, greedy for money for sex
It is easier for a camel to pass though the eye of a needle that for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven,
Jesus tells us John's father is suffering in hell
Like David has, and like John's father had and took for granted
John was maybe always Envy and came to realise that fully through his Envy of David, a life he could never have
He takes David's life away and allows him to do the same to him with his Wrath
John probably believed he was going to Hell, having visited each sin upon the sinner and their murders as well as his suicide, as it was
He believes he is going down to whatever Circle of Hell he belongs in, those of you who have read Dante may have your interpretation of what John took from that, what he expected
Like the killer Jeremy in Hideaway, film based on the Dean Koontz book, who commits a murder suicide, asks Satan to take his soul, the goes on the journey ending up in the Lake Of Fire
John no doubt believes in the Hell he is going to
David now faces Hell on Earth, the optimistic future with his wife, and the child he just found out about, taken away by John, and the murder he committed means he faces a long jail term, possibly Life, and that as an ex cop
Though Apathy is not a Deadly Sin in the list of Seven, it is presented here as such
Apathy is what allows the other sins to happen
For evil men to do evil they just need good men to do nothing
The club owner has allowed the Lust crime to happen due to his Apathy
Somerset is aware of his own rising Apathy and plans to retire and move away
At the end he overcomes his Apathy, the only character to survive and find redemption
In Fight Club, Fincher's next film with Brad Pitt, the Father conversation between Tyler and Jack echoes this
“special transmission outside doctrine,”
“not to establish language,”
“direct point to the mind,”
and
“seeing into one's nature and attaining the Buddhahood,
attempting to understand the meaning of life directly,
without being misled by logical thought or language
enlightenment is achieved through the profound realization that one is already an enlightened being.
simplicity,
present-moment awareness,
nonduality,
nonconceptual understanding,
and zazen (“just sitting”) meditation
the denial of the ego,
the focus on interconnectedness in the universe,
the recognition of attachment as a source of suffering,
and the realization that human perception is faulty
No distractions.
The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.
needs to let things go.
To allow yourself to not be bothered by everything.
We've all heard the quote: "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."
Easy for Thomas Edison to say. He had all the good ideas.
Inspiration is not some mystical, unattainable thing. Inspiration is a seed. That seed turns into vision. That vision turns into a goal.
And hopefully, that goal turns into victory.
I said, hopefully.
"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."
maybe they didn't mean physical pain.
Maybe they meant the other kind, the worse kind.
Maybe they meant the kind of searing, seething, boiling pain that tells you you're a failure and a fraud.
Suffering is optional.
That person didn't know what the fuck they were talking about.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
It's hard to admit when we're wrong, but even though everything looks fine, there's a problem.
Something is broken and you have to see where it's broken and set about fixing it or it's all gonna come apart.
. Any day you wake up and your body's still moving is a good day.
You can start over. You can forget your past mistakes. You can make a new start. Live everyday like it's your last. All that crap they put on pillows and car bumpers, it's all true.
You're alive. Respect that.
Not everybody is.
We can start over. Every day, we get second chances to become who we always wanted to be. We can leave our past behind or we can learn from it and honor it.
We can decide.
It's never too late to change

“He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.”
“When you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.”
“Nothing on earth consumes a man more quickly than the passion of resentment.”
“Become who you are.”
In 1888, William Williams Keen became one of the first surgeons to successfully remove a brain tumor.
A big win. It's true. You can look it up.
What's harder to find, however, are stories of all the times old Double Billy K tried to pull a tumor out of a brain and lost.
The losses must have happened.
The key, though, win or lose, is to never fail.
And the only way to fail is not to fight.
So you fight until you can't fight anymore. Hold up your head and enter the arena and face the enemy. Fight until you can't fight anymore. Never let go. Never give up. Never run. Never surrender.
Fight the good fight.
You fight. Even when it seems inevitable that you're about to go down swinging.
Why do we even try when the barriers are so high and the odds are so low? Why don't we just pack it in and go home? It would be so, so much easier.
It's because in the end, there's no glory in easy. No one remembers easy. They remember the blood and the bones and the long, agonizing fight to the top.
And that is how you become legendary.
Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind
Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving in a half forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind
Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly, was it something that you said?
Lovers walking along a shore and leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song
Half remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over you were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning to the color of her hair
Like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
As the images unwind, like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Funny, isn't it, the way memory works?
The things you can't quite remember, and the things you can never forget.
There can be beauty in getting lost.
Sometimes we have to get lost to find each other. And sometimes we find each other, only to get lost all over again.
You can't always control it, the thing that's going to set you adrift.
And as you stand there on the front porch, staring at the life you're about to leave behind, you have to accept it's gone, it's lost, just like you.
All you can do now is stand very still, breathe in the moment, and try to be open to wherever the wind's going to take you next.
| They say there's one sure sign of a successful negotiation. It's that when the parties leave the table, they feel like they have been screwed. The goal is a compromise, a situation where everybody wins. They say that negotiation is an art form. Yet, when we negotiate, we have a strategy. We use tactics. "Strategies" and "tactics" aren't words we use for seeking a compromise. These are words for going to war. |
Change is a funny thing and not everyone can handle it.
It can sneak up on you. Things aren't what they used to be. Your whole world has transformed. You realize the ground beneath you has shifted.
Things are uncertain and there's no turning back. The world around you is different now, unrecognizable, and there's nothing you can do about it. You're stuck.
Your future is staring you in the face and you’re not sure you like what you see
You can seek the advice of others, surround yourself with trusted advisers.
But in the end, the decision is always yours, and yours alone.
And when it's time to act, and you're all alone with your back against the wall... the only voice that matters is the one in your head.
The one telling you what you probably already knew.
The one that's almost always right
There are times in our lives when love really does conquer all: exhaustion, sleep deprivation, anything.
And then there are those times when it seems like love brings us nothing but pain.
We're always looking for ways to ease the pain.
Sometimes we ease the pain by making the best of what we have. Sometimes it's by losing ourselves in the moment.
And sometimes all we need to do to ease the pain is call a simple truce
