Breeeeeeeeach

spoiler warning--- Very nice book. Albeit  bit confusing, but then at the end they do the big monologue explanation thing they do at the end of mysteries so that everything makes sense to the viewer/reader.. Condensing the book to the point that the whole plot is understandable and all the complicated concepts explained will be difficult.
I'm reading some more sources, and there's some interesting things that I hadn't picked on while reading: the names. The names of the murder victim all had some meaning(they kept giving her new names as more information was discovered), and the town names (the 2 places inhabit the same space and time) also had some hidden meaning, like being reference to places in history with contested ownership. So that was pretty cool.
Imagine how crazy it would be to live here. The 'border' between the cities can be crossed accidentally, and sometimes there's a car crash between the people of the two towns, or bullet from standoffs hit unsuspecting people in the other town, who happen to be in the same location but not really in the same location. If you see the other town then you gotta unsee it, or else Breach will get you.
During his adventure, the inspector discovers that the victim was deep into a conspiracy about a secret hidden third town, but then the town is a sham. And then one little thing turns into many big things that end up throwing everything into chaos which was cool too. And then the ending had the big "this is how my plan worked" that there is at the end of every mystery media. The choice the inspector makes at the end is pretty cool too. He joins the breach, and now he's behind the scenes.

The city inside another city inside another city inside a simulation

So for the final independent study project, we're reading The City and the City. It's weird as heck, and the main thing going on is that there's two cities occupying the same space and time.So they're like overlapping, and the people of the two towns are never supposed to meet. If they want to meet, there's a lot of steps they have to go through. I still have a ways to go with the book, but I decided to read one of the sources that we picked. This one source is about how the two towns are different and some other stuff about the cultural distinctions between the two, including a neat table.
Now, enough abut that. The book is about a detective solving the murder of a woman who he initially believes to be involved in a prostitution ring. But as the book goes on, some deeper secrets about the government get uncovered. Find out more after the break.

Robot writes scifi story, fails miserably

I found this just now and everyone should see it, if the school wifi lets us. Or ms swan can show it on the projector :^)

Kirks Forest Trek

Kirk walked up to the mountain. He had never seen something so beautiful, so grand, so large and massive. His breath sharpened as he approached the behemoth, and he pressed his body against it.He caressed it and whispered to it, "Kirk loves the mountain".

Ok I'll stop.  Star Trek was awesome, I've never seen it before. I remember having this little blue light with the Enterpise logo on in or something from a cereal box when I was little but that's the only exposure.

The allegory to the proxy wars in southern asia were so subtle, and by that I mean they weren't subtle at all. Poor Tyree (?), he's gonna watch all his friends die now. But now that he has weapons at least his tribe wont bet massacred. I mean, he could either be wiped out all at once, or he couuld watch his village turn more militant and then watch little kids die off in the battle field. I doubt everyne will just put down their weapons, bc why put the down when you can rule the world?

Speaking of world ruling, Nona basically ruled the colony through pupetting tyree. I dont know how many other women of her species there were, and I wonder if everyone in that species also did that. Like a species that went around controlling villages from the shadows.

The Swannies were lit, Questionable answers, and a frozen journey

The Swannies were a great success, 10 times better than any Hugo awards with lame old guys. Swannies> Hugos. I bet the Hugos don't even have the PTSD Pupper award. 
"These awards are awesome" -Plato
"Swannies were hella lit fam" -Jesus Christ of Nazareth
"Hugos aint got nothing on this" -Ray Bradbury
"These stories are so creative and awesome"-Me

On my last super great amazing post about Hal the mean robot, Ms Swan, the gracious host of our amazing awards, left some questions I will now answer.

Q: Why DO you think both apes and men freak out about the monolith? (Are they impressed? What IS their reaction?) 
A: Men are proud of themselves that they can explore the moon and take a super ambitious selfie. Apes are super confused, and stare at it with awe.

Q: You didn't feel bad at all for HAL, huh? :-D 
A: no he was a big rude meanie >:c

I really couldn't feel bad for Hal, his death song wasn't even cute, I was like "good". He would've killed the other guy if he hadn't stopped him.

And now for a Frozen Journey. That story was so cool, and the way that a man was ruined from the inside. Poor guy. I like how his guilt over the little bird ruined his life. 

KURBICK FAKED THE MOON LANDING

Did you like my click bait title

Anyways, that movie was so weird. I kinda wish there was subtitles for when the people were talking in the meeting room because I couldn't hear what was going on.

HAL was so rude. Smh can't believe he iced everyone like that. Also I like how he said he never made mistakes ever. So killing the crew was intentional, at first I thought it was an actual malfunction and then I realized what he was doing. Man. Then during HAL final moments I thought good die". But I couldnt hear what the guy was saying in the little monitor. Oh well.

The monolith was also really confusing. But it was interesting how the apes and humans approached it. The apes circled around it and groped it and were all "ooh ahh". The humans all stood in front of it, and were like "#MoonLanding". I bet the loud ringing the monolith made was because it got mad it wasn't getting the respect it deserved. Then when it appeared at the end, what the heck was even happening. Did it create the room he was in and then resurrected him into the star child when he died or ?????

Also, remember the star child at the end of the movie? This is them now. Feel old yet?

Mars Adventure

Based on I Robot and Flash Gordon, I thought that this would be stories about the wonders of space, not stories about people dying all the time and mass extinctions.

  First topic is the story where the astronauts were thought to be insane and then killed. Then the psychiatrist killed himself. My line of thinking was similar to the astronauts, "wow they finally got recognized". When the 'reporters' started talking about how they were from other planets, I was starting to get confused, then the explorers finally figured it out. Smh cant believe all my earth homies got popped like that. smh. I started thinking about how we would react if people popped up on Earth, we would probably lock them up and study them, or maybe be polite and invite them into our homes, provided they don't exhale fire or something. Or provided they don't burn up our bodies with chicken pox the same way we burned theirs. Which made me sad, but it was also an interesting parallel to the way that European diseases killed all the Natives. At least now they didn't have to deal with all their expeditions being killed off. Which was also weird because you would think that they would have like radio connection to earth or something. Or maybe they would be like live streaming it on Facebook. That kind of stopped me from being into the story because I was way to confused as to why it was even an issue.

Robots, Capitalists and other Amazing tales

I remember watching this movie in some other class, but I can't remember which.

Anyway, this was Metropolis, the movie about a robot that use the innocence of a pure young lady to take over the people's minds and destroy the city. I'm kinda confused as to why the big boss man, (Joh? was that his name) told Rotvang to make the robot look like the girl. If he hadn't done that and the people would've gone on longer without destroying the heart machine. She was the only reason they hadn't done so already. (It turns out you cant tab on here, now my post is gonna look like a big blob).
I really want to know how they did the special effects for this movie, for today's standards they're awful but considering movies were still barely beginning they're pretty cool. I thought the ending was nice how they tied it all back to the "mediator prophecy". But what about the new city? How will they rebuild it, will everyone help, or will it be the same people with nicer conditions. I'm still curious as to what happened to the newborns. They probably all died, thanks to the dumb mob. smh @ the mob. smh. I like how they all just mindlessly went to kill the problem without thinking. I'm glad they killed the robot and not the real Maria, that would have been tragic. Imagine leading a people and giving them hope for years, watching ad caring for them, and then they burn you at the stake. How did she even get down there anyway, was she already a worker there, but then she ascended to prophet character or what. That was weird.
I didnt like the whole "down with capitalism" thing, it seemed really forced down. But the factories were probably worse than I can imagine, and the poverty that bad, so idk.
