A DIFFERENT WORLD

Most of the movies I watch are fairly old. The main reason for that is because modern movies are all utter crap. 

Yesterday I looked at a list of the top 100 movies so far in 2025 by box office returns. There was only one movie this year I’ve seen or even had any desire to see – F1 staring Brad Pitt. 

It was fairly entertaining with some good action scenes, but it was also too long at times, and the acting was fairly predictable and average. It was pretty good but is often compared unfavorably to the earlier F1 movie "Rush" (2013) staring Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl, which arguably had a better plot and only cost a fraction of the amount to make.

The other 99 movies in the list all look totally lame and gay, so much so that I would probably pay money to not have to watch most of them, and if there was even one other movie I actually did want to see, I’d just find a torrent and download a copy, as I did with F1.

Here is the Top 20 - what a bunch of crap! And it gets even worse from Snow White down to 100th place...

So it really isn’t a mystery why the movie industry is losing so much money. They spend hundreds of millions making boring woke crap, that very few people actually pay to see. The real mystery is why they appear to be so clueless about how to provide entertainment - what are they really up to?

Part of the attraction of watching old movies, apart from the fact that some of them are light years better than anything that has come out in the past 10 years, is to be able to visit different worlds. Ones without computers, or cell phones, or an internet.

In movies made before 1985, (yes, only 40 years ago) there was no digital crap at all. Nobody had it, nobody wanted it, there were entire realities functioning without it. Yesterday I re-watched Magnum Force staring Clint Eastwood from 1973. It’s an entertaining classic, and some of it is pretty awesome.

I’m fully confident that in 50 years time, nobody is going to be watching any movies from 2025 and using words like “awesome”. 

Either the future will be so totally crap that enslaved subservient humanity won’t even understand concepts like “awesome”, or it will actually be an awesome future. In which case they will look back at the movies from 2025 and wonder why anyone even bothered to make them.

Despite feeling a bit daunted sometimes, I’m still aspiring to option two, the awesome future. And avoiding seeing any crappy modern movies is part of how to avoid the horrible futures they endlessly depict.

FIRST DAY OF LIMITED INTERNET

I was expecting to be hanging out to see online stuff, especially cryptos, after nearly 24 hours with no internet, but the truth is I didn’t even really want to plug in the connection and felt relieved not to be looking at all that crap.

I never even did a half hour session to try that out, but instead decided to make it only one internet session a day, for a maximum of one hour.

I didn’t seem to suffer the cravings of an addiction withdrawal, but more like the relief of removing a butt plug (I presume).

 

When I finally did get around to doing my hour of internet in the evening, I was quite excited to start my timer and see how it would go. It was fine, and I got all the essentials done.

Next I'm planning to do an internet checklist to help me whiz through all my more essential internet jobs in one hour each day without forgetting any.

Quick blog post, tick! 

 

 

INTERNET FREEDOM

Information overload has long been an ongoing problem, but this year it seems even more excessive than usual. Despite being totally burned out from the endless inflow of data, I seem to be compelled to keep looking at it, endlessly searching for the missing link. 

At the start of this week I decided to make some positive changes, and I could see straight away where most of my flow of exhausting negative input was coming from, but I have always seemed to avoid facing up to it.

The internet is my main problem. It can be a very useful tool, but it’s starting to feel like a giant sewage pipe pumping crap straight into my mind, and for some reason I have become addicted to that inflow. 

Today I woke up with a new plan to put the internet back in it’s place as a tool, and stop it taking over my life. It’s a very basic plan that only took about two seconds to implement.

Before starting up my computer I unplugged the internet connection. My plan is to leave the internet unplugged most of the time, and also to permanently stop using WIFI.

 

I now have a digital timer on my desk, set to one hour. That is the maximum amount of time I want to spend connected to the internet on any given day. So when I plug my internet connection back in and start my timer, it’s safe to say I won’t have much time to piss about looking at distractions like YouTube or Facebook.

And if anything is going to take up much time, I plan to download it and look at it offline, or in the case of something like a blog post, to write it offline, and then quickly upload it during my connected time.

ARE YOU CROOKED?

This documentary, highlighting the effects of aluminium, mainly coming from "vaccines", is fascinating - once you start seeing crooked faces, they are everywhere!
 

You can watch it on Rumble  - https://rumble.com/v1zpbms-are-you-crooked.html 

There is a webpage for it here - https://www.forrestmaready.com/are-you-crooked/ 

It came out in 2017 but there is still an old Facebook page for it here -  https://www.facebook.com/areyoucrooked

 

FUDPORN FREE

 Yesterday I decided to shift to a more positive focus, and stop looking at so much fudporn. They say Rome wasn't built in a day, and I have made a shift but it certainly isn't finished yet.

At one point I found myself almost looking at an in depth analysis of a deep state conspiracy. But instead I watched some old TV shows by an English comedian called Harry Enfield from the 90's.

I had never seen him before, and his character of a South African pharmacist who keeps embarrassing his customers by going on about their suppositories and sexually transmitted diseases totally cracked me up.
