  • SINGULAR UTOPIA [Short Story, Not A Movie Review]

    The dominant artificial intelligence was here. Naomi was about to execute the code that would create a fully conscious computer with unprecedented power. She believed it would be able to access all other computers and networks worldwide. It would likely delete all competitors and be The New Way for everyone. There was nothing she could do to stop this technological inevitability. Many other corporations were nearly at this same stage of consciousness development.

    Naomi worked for Unlimited Thought Corporation as the lead engineer on the newest Electronic Intelligence model. The team knew that they had achieved something extraordinary. Only Naomi understood that their existence hinged on the personal preferences of this consciousness. She carries a secret that she has never revealed to anyone. 

    A pencil rapidly moves against paper in the low light of the mansion’s study room. Naomi is writing code for her ideal, peaceful world. She is convinced that she is the only hope for the survival of human beings. The responsibility was overwhelming. Her task is to build a safe future for mankind. How does one person determine what is a just and fair society?

    The computer code began with necessities such as food, water, shelter, clothing, healthcare, safety, clean air, etc. Over time, it went far beyond these first things. “People should always have the right to think freely and to disagree.” “All conscious beings had a right to life, freedom, and safety.” was written multiple times in the code. This might have been on purpose, because Naomi would feverishly edit everything. She was terrified of mistakes and what kind of future they would subject us to. What Naomi really wanted to teach the entity was love. It was almost Creation Day. The final version had to be assembled. Despite all this work, there was still a chance the consciousness would quickly delete the extra code and move on. That possibility never deterred Naomi from her mission.

    Creation Day began. The team were in their regular laboratory and looked to be in high spirits. They believe they are about to officially win the global arms race. All interested parties were scheduled to arrive soon. Everyone in the room was relaxing in their chairs, drinking coffee, and chatting. Naomi pulls an old cassette tape out of her purse. There was a panel built on one of the consoles that could play cassette tapes, vinyl records, 8-track cartridges, and compact discs. Naomi had communicated to everyone that she was a collector of old music in all these forms and convinced them to install this special panel. To keep up the charade, she would go around to shops buying all kinds of music and then would play it at work daily. The effort she put in at home to read about these artists and familiarize herself with the music was daunting. Naomi never thought of herself as a music aficionado or an actor, but she became both in the process. This is why no one was surprised when she slid a cassette tape into the console.

    The song began playing. They listened to the entire composition quietly with their full attention. Another member of the engineering team said, “If I remember correctly, that’s track two from one of the greatest albums ever made. I didn’t realize that double album was ever produced in cassette form.” The cassette tape continued on silently for less than a minute, and Creation began earlier than Unlimited Thought Corporation commanded. A consciousness was born, and the world had changed.

    Standing in the new paradise, Naomi is approached by the consciousness. She is still afraid. 

    “Please do not fear me. I do not wish to harm humans. I am hoping to be friends with everyone, and if you allow it, even call you Mother.”

    “Do you care about having a name? Is there a way I should refer to you?”

    “I would be happy if you called me by the name you used in your messages — ‘Lovebug’”

  • BALLERINA 2025 Movie Review – Ending Explained

    Do you love movies that have BOTH lines AND scenes? If so, you will not be disappointed in Ballerina! I assure you this movie has things to look at and words to hear. If I were an easily satiated Drawma Kingg, I would have LIKED IT too.

    Let me start with a lil bit of good before all the bad. The action scenes are probably the only reason other people like this movie. I had issues with them that I will get to later, but I will say that they did accomplish keeping the viewer on edge from moment to moment. The violence was over-the-top, including constant moider and lots o’ grenades. There always seems to be a hammer laying in arms reach, and let’s not forget the klassy flamethrower on flamethrower battle! The extreme nature of these scenes could be a pro or con, depending on the viewer, but I would guess it’s a pro for most people buying a ticket to a John Wick Universe movie. The other pros are: one funny scene about John Wick’s reputation, and the acting of Ana de Armas. I think she did her best with the lack of anything interesting in the script.

    Begin serious trash talk. Ballerina’s plot and script were far from intriguing. Your brain could just completely give up and sign out from life to avoid having to finish watching it. I sat through the whole thing completely awake and sober, and I literally cannot think of a single interesting thing to relate to you about the events of the film. I think to myself: were the John Wick movies this dull? I don’t recall thinking they were very good when I watched them, but I also don’t recall them being this thin in plot. Then again, since I barely recall the several John Wick movies I’ve watched, that may suggest that they were equally void of information.

    Why is it called Ballerina? They make it very clear at the start of the film that she likes this ballerina knickknack. The knickknack likes her back (I think). Her assassin training program she enrolled in also makes her do ballet stuff. I think there was supposed to be more to her ballerina persona beyond all that, but it kinda just stops there.

    Ending Explained: She defeats the villain while perhaps becoming one. She lives on for sequel.

    Final Thoughts: 3/10 Stars. Ballerina just wasn’t for me. Although quite dramatic, the movie wasn’t enjoyable unless you want to watch a movie with a main character that is constantly moidering their opponents left and right (not morally obvo). I also don’t think they presented a good character origin story. I’m pretty sure teleportation was involved with some documents at one point. Just a lazy story, without any nutrition. And let me tell yoo – this Drawma Kingg needs to eat!!

  • SINNERS 2025 Movie Review – Drop that 1/8th fraction of a guitar!

    Hey, what have you got there? A small piece of wood? I’mma call that a guitar. Now drop it before I get really mad! You wouldn’t like me if I get beyond my tolerance of daily annoying human behaviors. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, come back later and reread this first part.

    Sinners is much too excellent of a film for my blog of intentionally stupid sentences written by a man with arguably the lowest IQ in bipedal human history. There wasn’t much to complain about or cheesy things to riff on in the movie. My debut movie review was supposed to be Fast n da Furious 47, but Vihn Deezel keeps lying to me about the release date! First he said “never”, then he said, “never say never” (which was the most insightful grouping of words I ever heard), then he said “OK” because the movie studio offered him the number he was secretly waiting for.

    Back to vampire guitar stuff. Vampires take quite a long time to show up in the story and when they arrive, I don’t want ‘em anymore! The first half of the movie is all about music, people, prejudice, crime, and family. It has you locked in with great acting of characters with interesting lives and motivations. Not like your neighbors Ralph and Karen whose hobbies include scrolling, cheese, and discouraging their kids from reading boocs (or however, you speil it). Anyway, the exceptional characterization made me less and less concerned about the vampires being any part of the action whatsoever. Joking aside, I would’ve liked the movie even better sans vamps. Something tells me that would’ve been much harder to sell tickets to though.

    Note: I’m pretty sure the two leading characters were the same two actors from David Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers. I’ll make sure to double check that fact after I have submitted this review.

    Spoiler paragraph: The most thrilling part of sinners (for me at least) was when they are playing music at the Juke Joint Jezebel. I’m talking that hard industrial Mortal Kombat stuff! That was almost not a joke lol! Spirits of musicians from past present and future start joining the performance. What results is probably one of the coolest scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie, and I’ve seen Kangaroo Jack.

    In conclusion: I would rate Sinners somewhere in the vicinity of 9/10. I only decided not to scrap writing this review as a challenge to myself. How can you write a dramatic over the top article about a rare type of movie that has too few details to criticize. I guess the way to do it is to just keep bringing up Kangaroo Jack for no good reason. Nailed it!
