The "Ready Player One" book is seven years old, so VR warfare, surveillance drones and 'Second Life' avatar realms are already old hat. The protagonist even has to dress in a body suit for game motion sensing, which Kinect makes passé. It needed a more retro arcade production design for the VR scenes, as it's an uphill battle to make *grim* feel exciting. Beyond the "Willy Wonka" egg hunt, which makes someone a billionaire, will there be an original story inside? I usually see Spielberg's movies, so I'll guess I'll find out.

> The hype is growing on "Annihilation."

Death of cinema, again, as "draws comparisons" = not very original. Cribbing from high-brow sci-fi is never enough. Reviews on this are so-so.

> I refused to see "Mother!"

I saw it immediately and had the opposite reaction. Maybe the studio releasing it wide with lots of mystery box hype deflated it for me, because it felt more like a short subject stretched-out to be as raucous as possible.

Have you seen last year's, "A ghost story"? I missed it in the cinemas but found it on Blu-ray. It's a smaller movie which allows in some bigger concepts.

I also think you might like, "Coherence," which I saw in 2014 when it was briefly at the TIFF.

I'll have to look up those films to see if I have seen them. They sound familiar.

[kelpzoidzl]

Coherence, yes I saw it. It was interesting and fairly well made considering it was more like a stage play. Pretty clever.

I'll look up Ghost Story.

[kelpzoidzl]

Probably watched it or at lest the beginning of it. (Ghost story) I see it is on Amazon Prime. Ill look at it now.

[kelpzoidzl]

I watched A Ghost Story last night. Kind of silly and lametentious but kept me interested. It vaguely reminded me of the Time Machine with the past and future. I like the pacing and some of the scenes were drawn out and clever. I liked the drawn out pie scene. I think the credits listed a Casey Affleck "double" --under the sheet?

"A ghost story" borders on shoegazing, doesn't it?

> I think the credits listed a Casey Affleck "double" --under the sheet?

That credit is there because Affleck acted under the sheet, with the art director doubling for him in those shots with the second-generation ghost. The Blu-ray has a good commentary and extras.

Steve

[kelpzoidzl]

Showgazing from the stage?

The Ghost barely moves from his spot. Very non-mobile. The other Ghost was also stuck. When the sheet first appeared I wondered who cut the eye holes out?

Shoegazing; that indie rock with loud, distorted, ethereal vocals which lull concert-goers into, "gazing at their shoes."

> The Ghost barely moves from his spot. Very non-mobile. The other Ghost was also stuck.

Any sight of Affleck's feet under the sheet was digitally erased, so keeping the ghost mostly still was also a VFX budget saver.

From the latest trailer I've seen for "Ready Player One", I gather that the protagonist gamer's body suit is not just for motion-detection, but for other VR players to "touch" him via sensory feedback. If I was a gamer trying to liberate the world from tyranny, I wouldn't need or want distracting/invasive sensory feedback from other players, or the VR arena itself.

Unless he's in that arena/world for recreation, sports or sex; which he'd already find in a world of industrial decay much more easily and inexpensively than his "state-of-the-art" body suit.

Second Life has birthed a number of other virtual world efforts.

The founder of Second Life, after leaving LInden Labs started "High Fidelity" and Linden Labs has been working on "Sansar" i have only dabbled in each, both are still primitive, without any headset.

Here is a new Philip Rosedale chat that delves into it. Both VR and AR.

https://youtu.be/Z6BDnVUEWZ4

Both HF and Sansar are trying to build a VR compatible Second Life that can be viewed on computers or mobile devices. They also want to be able to include Hapto technology as it develops.

"Blunty" a photography, game, tech reviewer with a youtube channel, finds himself in "VR Chat" in an awkward situation with a girl imitating a child and acting seductive.

Apparently Ready Player One it Premieres at SXSW tonight

http://variety.com/2018/film/news/steven-spielbergs-ready-player-one-to-world-premiere-at-sxsw-1202723327/

[kelpzoidzl]

Also apparently the Premiere was seriously glitched, completely crashing repeatedly and Speilberg remarked it was the most anxiety ridden moments in his life. The audience did give it a standing ovation.

The more I ponder Spielberg the more I believe my theory that everyone else was wrong about hiw Kubrick would have done the ending, including and especially Spielberg.

My Kubrickintuition, which is for whatever reason, always dogs me, tells me, that when wrestling with AI, he thought Spielberg would have given it a happy ending, where Pinocchio would become a real boy. And now ironic, that Spielberg's ending was so bleak. The more others disagree with this the more I am sure. He wanted Spielberg because he was afraid of his own bleak ideation about the future.

I find it interesting that Elon Musk has warned that "AI is more dangerous then the Nuclear threat."

On another note, I watched the new and final, Season 5 of "Bates Motel." yesterday. Very excellent and appropriate. Really fleshed out an end of the story, far better then the Psycho sequels. I think Hitchcock would have loved it.

Attempted to see "Ready Player One" last night, but it turned into Cineplex auditorium gang warfare once I noticed that the movie cut from Spielberg/Kaminski cinematography and into an 8&½-minute dark/occult [*CIA/MKUltra*] sequence when the gamers pick a TS VHS with "Room 237" cover art and go TERRIBLY WRONG from there...followed-by a steely-lit James Cameron sequence and then back again to the Spielberg/Kaminski look.

In any case, the government perps dressed as ushers and security guards were hell-bent that I not stay to the end of RP1 in 65mm, which likely indicated that print had no credits (or different credits via DCP from the booth's adjacent digital projector).

If interested, I've posted the audio of Spielberg's RP1 'homage,' along with brief video of the 65mm projection at 55 Bloor West and the Wikipedia page for the "Ready Player One" novel—which has no mention of TS or Kubrick (the gamers do visit a theatre in virtual reality called, "The Overlook").

Amazing. Now you have to explain.

You were removed in handcuffs? For filming?

The video is extraordinary. Are you saying that Kubrick homage is from Reafy Steady one?.

[kelpzoidzl]

I just listened to your previous media fire explanation. It did work on the Ipad.

Very interesting. I need to understand the ramifications. I had no idea it had a Kubrick "homage" in the film.

I saw some of the Vivian tweet posts you captured. ( she blocked me from her Twitter some time ago when I nicely tried to tell her Trump wasn't the evil ogre she had been saying, so I have no idea where she is at with this now)

Cia mkuktra israelis .....? Is Spielberg now being held in a mind control, chamber? :) what the hell?

That footage was amazing, but scary. Definately a mind fuck of some kind. It doesn't feel like Spielberg.

I saw news story the other day saying Spielberg said it's time for a female Indiana Jones....

[kelpzoidzl]

What is vivian saying about that segment??

[kelpzoidzl]

I need to hear more.

That imagery has a truly perverse look. What the hell?

When you were handcuffed, was that a regular screening of the movie? Did they see you filming it?

Were you charged with anything you have to appear on?

Wish I had tried the mediafire links when you first posted them.

[kelpzoidzl]

Was that scene indicative of the whole film?

Going to see it seems to have effected you. Maybe I'll hold off. It is a very unwholesome scene.

[kelpzoidzl]

"Just letting amk know what Hollywood is doing with Kubrick now"......chilling.

[kelpzoidzl]

Not to make you more paranoid, but did you see this alex jones video? Watch to the end.

https://youtu.be/z_q1ZWVrqTM

[kelpzoidzl]

You should let Drudge know about your theater exp and the link. He's huge huge huge Kubrick fan.

[kelpzoidzl]

Or better yet, write a review of the film and the experience including Kubrick and pov with the segment video put it on a website and send it to Drudge in his "tip" section he might post it. That would be radical and very cool.

Today, two failed attempts to get, "Did Einstein Spielberg?" on YouTube without it being blocked by CIA/Google and Warner Bros.; minutes before the video was even published (via illegal American monitoring of my PC and Internet to steal my life away).

Google/YouTube and their CIA/Israeli conspirators now guilty of my attempted assassination.

Everything in my Op Cat post-op dossier was rendered null and void when the RCMP illegally entered unit 506 of 105 Isabella in my absence to copy it for you on 2018/04/08, "Scott Parsons."

I doubt David Sinclair Cole is in a position to continue posting to AMK but, since you are legally invincible, I'm sure you and other jews/Israelis will continue to hack his account (trying to squeeze more information out of me...the few DRIPS which I allow).

Enjoy that one-way flight to Israel; fake Canadian and un-flushable turd.

SVO-KK-AMK

[kelpzoidzl]

You aren't suggesting I am Jewish or part of your plight are you? My dad named me "David," so he said, "to help me compete in a Jewish world." During my ages 7-11, we lived in NYC, he was working as Marketing VP for Seagrams, under old man Bronfman. When Bronfman's son was promoted over my dad, my dad resigned angry and we returned to CA. Now that guys son owns much of the Studio system in Hollyweird.

Sorry if you feel I squeezed info out of you. I had no idea about your situation. Had I known anything about your current situation I would have asked you to communicate privately. You have been a solid rock and caretaker on AMK and very knowledgable on the subjects that come up. Frankly I usually wonder that you might think I am kooky when I've played with conspiracies, although I usually make it clear i see things humorously. I've had zero idea what you've been going through. AMK isn't a very "public place" simply because there are few readers.

I spent a few hours watching your yt videos then fell asleep in my chair and woke up to tend to change my mothers bed.

My immediate reaction is, you sound like you need to reinvent yourself. Get out of that environment and focus on your creative projects. Are Canadians able to move to the US and keep their Canadian benefits? Maybe you need to move to Hawaii and sit on the shore and watch the waves and relax, get out of the manic feeling. You are very intelligent and should be able to get out of this cyclical bummer. The Big Island North Shore small towns are still cheap enough. Of course they have bad drug users in Hawaii but sometimes it's best to not notice the sleaze and stupidity around you. Have you always been in Canada and a city person?

You probably know I worked in psych wards for many years. I've seen and heard it all. Your videos would be funny as a reality show, or even as a paranoid comedy. Maybe you can steal the idea from yourself and think up a script that laughs at it. Kubrick was always a comic underneath it all. Maybe that helped him stay at a distance from the atrocities of real life so he could enjoy laughing. As a Buddhist I would tell you to practice the daimoku of the Lotus Sutra and eradicate the karmic torture.

Ultimately. DO NOT DESPAIR!

[kelpzoidzl]

Rereading your last message to try to understand what you are saying. Why you mention "Scott Parsons" and my name...etc. i'm afraid you are really having a acute hard time. in one of your vids you mentioned your blood pressure. Clear your mind, go to the doctors. Get positive. Do it for Stanley.

I assure you I am me and am in a postion to post to AMK and I have never had any idea of your situation.of which you've never alluded to until recently.

There is one funny thing...you mentioned KMPG. I use to have a computer client in my computer business in Ojai back in the early 2000's, who had been a founding member of KMPG. I did his personnal computer support fir a few years. I remember KMPG had a big scandal. Don't remember the details. Haven't seen him in years.

Stanley Kubrick's daughter Vivian still heavily into Scientology (CIA front) in Clearwater, Florida."

"Informant?" Gads. Ideas of Reference. Please Steve, see that that is absurd. Don is just Don. The world has conspiracies but I'm not part of them,

"Ideas of Reference" would a good name for a film.

All I see is one spy covering for another while watching this newsgroup like hawks; whilst similarly offering nothing of value to Kubrick fans.

I do have a background in film, and a 19-year AMK track record of Kubrick-related posts, to substantiate why I am actually here.

Steve, "we are just ordinary kinda guys."

The leftovers of AMK. For me the archives are important. Whatever little conversation goes on now, is nowhere near as bad as so many years of the vicious arguing and recriminations on AMK. Shouldn't take it too seriously. Usenet was a horrible place.

There are regular horrorshow threads here. Some real wacky ones. Nasty stuff. There were also very good threads about Kubrick films and various points of view lots was useful. Nasty bitter people made it impossible to have any casual conversation about topics and association.

No one is a spy. Relax take stress pill and think things over. Or better yet relax and stop thinking, you are burning your batteries, whirling up a blackhole.

Your videos are like going into a nightmare black hole. Pure negativity. Of course you are freaking out. Canada/Toronto does look and sound horrible and oppressive though and those guys do look shifty and creepy, but damn stop looking at it. It's like you are purposefully torturing yourself, those are street bums and derelects.

The government is dumb and raising a country of dependents. Ok, but the world is not a pureland, what do you expect.

You can't fix it by freaking out. You have to overcome the real world legal problem with courage and relaxed confidence. If they truly are as bad as Clockwork Orange, then move and don't take that environment with you.

After watching your videos, of course it is worrisome and sad to see such stress. Obviously you are frustrated about career setbacks, and some sad events, but stop bitching about it. You are a smart and talented guy and very creative, as I said before, I had no idea you were going through this kind of stuff and frankly it's not my business. But overcome it!

Steve, I would be offended, if that were possible.

At one time or two I referred to kelp, don and the moop as the three-headed cerberus--as cerberi generally are--only to be ignored and immediately forgotten.

It's nothing personal. How could it be?

I find each and every post to be homage to Kubrick, and extremely informative, on rare occasions creepy and obsessive. But what the hell...

Don't go down the paranoid path; it's one way only.

[kelpzoidzl]

When a person is suffering from severe bi-polar disorder and extreme paranoid delusions and in a manic phase, they are stuck at the epitome of arrogance and resentment. Later they plunge into devastating depression.

Resentment and arrogance are huge impediments to happiness. It is said (in Buddhist sutras) that when a being is stuck in these lifestates, controlled by the three poisons of anger, arrogance and stupidity, they are like a person who fell in a well and refuse to take hold of a rope lowered down to them by people with compassion ( ie., a Buddha or Bodhisattva in their heart) to pull them up, they are powerless to help,

Steve, you can be sure that the couple people here on AMK, essentially "strangers" who have been on and off AMK for years, only wish you well and are sending you prayers formally or informally, from their heart. No one here enjoys seeing you suffering like this.
