Some up coming things

Well I know that the only thing that I posted here all week was just dealing with the Avengers movie, but believe me I do have things coming, as well as more coming on the political blog as well.
 
However for this one in the mean time, I've got two things that are going to be incoming, though one of them is for their own blog, while the other is a book that I'm currently reading right now to give you a review on. Both of these are going to be something to look forward to in the coming time.
 
The new blog that I'm working on is one that will be taking place 6 years after the first one started, it's called Ninja Chronicles: The Return, and will be featuring several new characters that some might actually think I based on them (if they read it that is, I did base at least two of the characters on a couple of people, but that's as far as I went at the time when I did create this side of that world). However these characters I will not reveal the names of nor what they're going to be doing, or how Ninja meets up with them, but suffice it to say that when they get into the action, this is one series that I'm not going to be able to submit to anyone since there's going to be some things that I don't want to get in trouble for using in my story. However I will tell you this, this new series will explain as to why his world hated him so much that they were willing to kill him and drove him from that world in the first place, and that answer will solve quite a few things.
 
Now when it comes to the book that I'm currently reading right now, I'm reading the new James Patterson book 11th Hour, the latest book in the Women's Murder Club series, and I've got to say that it's going great here, and you'll love the review that I happen to give it (yeah I know that I'm teasing you with the picture of the book above, but it's well worth it). Patterson does have more books coming out within this year, including the stunning conclusion to the Maximum Ride series that even I'm looking forward to myself. However I'm half-way through this book, and I'll be letting you all know how it is once I'm finished.
 
Speaking of upcoming books, while I've got the cover up there for one, I can't get the cover for the other one that I'm waiting for. Robert Jordan's last book will be coming out in January and Tor has released what the cover of the book for "A Memory of Light", and it's one that fans (myself included) are dearly looking forward to, because in this book everything is coming to a head and The Final Battle has arrived at long last, the only question that remains is, all of the visions of the future that we've all been seeing of the distant future, will they come true, or will the future be changed for the better. Only one way to find out, gonna have to read it when the time comes in January. The other book is the latest from Terry Goodkind, the New York Times best selling author of the Sword of Truth series, inlcuding both "Law of Nines" and "The Oman Machine" which actually were both directly related to the Sword of Truth series in ways that no one would ever think of. Personally I can't wait till Goodkind's next book comes out, and I will read it and review it for you all.
 
However that's what's been going on and what everyone has to look forward to in the coming time. Till then, it's summer (almost) and I'll be coming up with a summer book reading list that you can check out, ones that they never tell you about when it comes GMA or any of those morning shows. So get ready it's going to be very interesting.

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!!

Now I know that I said that I was going to get this written up yesterday, but the high that I've had from watching the movie even now still hasn't ended in the least right now, and I'll tell you all this, if I had the money I'd be going to see it several times right now it was that great.
 
Now mind you the best way to see this movie is in 3-D, because other wise you lose something with the 2-D, namely all of the action is just gone with the 2-D unlike the 3-D that you keep it with.
 
Well with this movie, it not only is the first of it's kind where it takes several different characters coming from they're own movie franchises, but combines them up into one giant movie and never stops even there. This is one movie that just takes it right to the hilt and just doesn't stop in the least, plus it shows us a full Marvel world that is only going to get bigger. Now I know that I've said this before, but DC and Warner could learn from this since they were the ones that were constantly saying that something like this just wouldn't work, well this weekend with a 2.8 million opening is shattering records and it continues to do so and it's being estimating that this could be the first movie that actually breaks the billion mark on ticket sales.
 
From the different characters that are in this movie, Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, Hawk Eye, and Black Widow, I do that Cap, Iron Man and Thor will be getting more movies coming out, that and there will be another Avengers movie. In all seriousness this is one movie that you really should go see, it's got action and humor galore, and it's the one movie that you see that's an action movie that actually for once proves the old adage wrong, you don't need sex to sell a movie, after all there wasn't one bit of any kind of sex at all in this entire movie (unless you want to count Black Widows costumes, but she never takes them off, so that's kind of hard to count right there).
 
Just check the movie for your self, and stick around for after the end 3-D credits (before it goes over to 2-D again), and you'll get a very famous Marvel surprise waiting at the end of the movie.

The photos to the Tribal protest

Well I did say that I would have the photos for that report once I could be able to get them off of my phone, and I've been able to do just that, As you can see by the various shots that were taken from right in front of the Federal Court house, these people weren't happy at all, and I honestly don't blame them in the least considering everything that happened and is more than likely still happening over there right now.
 
I mean I honestly believe that they really do need someone from the out side, and not one that happens to be from the Feds either (and Feds goes for anyone that happens to be from the Federal Government doesn't matter where they happen to work either). They do honestly need help when it comes to getting things worked out for the best here and that's a fact.

Something that needed to go to both blogs

Normally I wouldn't put this here, but it affects two different worlds, and could threaten the whole Big Brother thing that we've been trying to avoid for years. However this time it's going to be far worse since it deals with Internet privacy. There's a site that's right now trying to fight what's called CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) and the thing is that if this actually passes, it will be one of the worst things to come out of Washington since the Bush Regime ran the place, and to top it off it's being forced by the Republicans as well.
 
One of the things that I've noticed when it comes to the Federal government is that when a law is passed (even when it has been specific to one thing only), they tend to ignore the specific parts and make it so that it encompasses everything and everyone, and honestly this is the last thing that we need right now. After all this would be like the Patriot Act only for the on-line world instead, and we've all seen how bad that became now didn't we.
 
However there is a ray of sunshine that we can all latch onto to make sure that this thing dies a horrible death (and the President has already said that he would veto this bill once it hit his desk, but it's trying to get it killed before hand that's being worked on right now), there's a site that several people are going to in order to make sure that this does die a horrible death, the site is called Demand in Progress and it's working right now to make sure that those going to Washington know how bad this bill really is.
 
Personally I would rather not have another version of the Patroit Act that really doesn't help anyone at all and considering that it makes everyone a suspect to each other, and that's really the last thing that anyone wants if we're trying to reach a peaceful world. So check out both links and see what you think, and try to help what you can.

A new way for those with hard of hearing and vision loss to view movies

Now when I first saw this article on the hard copy version of the Fresno Bee I was thinking that it was dealing with some kind of new 3-D wear for maybe a television or movie theater, something that I could be able to slip over my glasses and be able to watch a 3-D movie with out having to try to put those Real 3-D over my own glasses at all. However when I at last read the article, I didn't realize how wrong I was on the entire thing.
 
These glasses (as you can see by the pictures above, are for those that are hard of hearing (not selective hearing), and have trouble seeing. Plus the really cool thing is that it works for all of the movies that are in the theater there too. What the glasses do is provides subtitles for those that can't hear the movie too well, though in this case the only one that will be seeing the subtitling is the person wearing the glasses in the first place, no one else around them will be seeing anything and can enjoy the movie with out any problems at all.
 
The whole system works on a wi-fi set up which I honestly think is great, except for having to wear the pack that goes with it in order to be able to get the system to work right, plus there's the limited number of glasses that are available in order to watch a movie that you would like to see. This is only because of the cost in making them, and the fact that they happen to be so limited on how many theaters actually have them in the first place. After all they might either be in use or recharging (yeah they've got to be recharged in order to be able to pick up the signal for the text to be seen on the lenses), which will limit how many are available at any given time.
 
Personally I happen to think that this is a great idea and opens up more movies (like next Friday's Avengers) for those that were limited before, plus they can also be adapted for 3-D and IMAX as well (or at least from what it said in the article). Though personally for me I would love to be able to see them make a set of Real 3-D lenses that are clip ons so that I don't have to try to fix big Real 3-D glasses over my own which can be a real big pain in the ass (had to put on the paper ones with the old red and blue lenses and I had to take them off every 15 minutes and it totally sucked). If they made clip on ones then I could just put those on my glasses like I do for my shades, however since I know that they're not going to do that any time soon (though I will be looking for the company that does the Real 3-D and suggest it to them in the first place), I just have to live with putting the Real 3-D glasses over my own glasses.

Three times kids have come up in the news today

Now I don't honestly know what's going on in the world, but when you happen to have two kids come up in the news, though for two totally different things (both dealing with authorities), then something is seriously wrong here.
 
Now the first story here I caught this morning on GMA (Good Morning America), though from what I had read it had taken place last Sunday, but has been getting major media attention since the mother of the child here (a 4 year old little girl), had posted what happened to Facebook. Now I can understand the need for the pat downs considering everything that's been going wrong with our world as of late, but I'm sorry to say, we're talking about a 4 year old little girl that is an innocent child and is still learning the ways of the world here. I mean from what I've read in the article, this little girl is now having nightmares thanks to what happened and that's seriously not right. Personally I'm thinking that when it comes to children under 5 or 6 (since even I'm not sure what the right age would be to start this all at), they shouldn't have to go through a pat down at all, I mean come on they really have no idea what in the world is going on around them and they're still exploring the world. Plus what didn't help things is that this girl had just learned about "Stranger Danger" in her school, and here she now is going through a pat down at an air port where they've supposedly lessened the pat down procedures for children.
 
Plus what also didn't help, was the TSA agents in the first place had zero compassion for anything that was happening to the child in the first place, I mean come on you're dealing with a 4 year old child here, I mean don't they have any kids of their own at all (I'm thinking not at this rate)? The child is as of last heard still having nightmares from the entire thing that's taken place, and I know personally when it comes to nightmares, that something like that isn't going to be going away any time soon.
 
This second one I got in my e-mail today from the Arizona Republic about a kindergartner that had been arrested after hitting the school workers, and I'm thinking that's taking things a bit far, yes it's good that the officer didn't hand cuff the kid, but seriously arresting the kid come on here.
 
I know that there are those out there that think that everything wrong should be punished with locking a person up, but that's the problem that's currently leading to the over crowding that we're currently having in our jails and prisons in the first place. Then again the one thing that I do know is that shoving a person behind bars is a money game, always has been and always will be. After all not only do they get money from the city and state, but they also get money from the prisoner in the end as well.
 
Now with a child that's a whole different set of rules there, but we're talking about a kid that might have something wrong with him and locking him up is seriously not the answer in the least here at all. It doesn't matter if he never was charged for anything doing this is going to do more damage than is good later on down the line, after all look at the "Scared Straight" program that they had around for a while, in the end it had proven to have failed big time. So while the answers are fleeting since no one knows how to deal with the current and future generations, trying to get them as kids is the wrong way to go in any case at all.
 
This last one I caught just a short bit on with GMA this morning as well, but it deals with something that I would seriously wish had been different. It had been a young boy with his father at a baseball game, and the player for the team (and I didn't catch the teams that had been there either) tossed a ball up into the stands. Now the boy here is wanting the ball and waiting for it, when right out of the blue a hand reaches up and snags it right out of the air. Turns out the hand belonged to a gentleman right in front of the young boy that gave the ball to his girlfriend, and they completely ignored the little kid behind them the entire time, the kid was balling his eyes out over the whole thing.
 
Going to a baseball game is a time for a child to create memories of the event with their parent (mother or father, depending on who brought them at the time), and one of the things that tends to help out is getting a ball that was used in the game, but to rob a child of those memories and turn them to something bad, that's not right at all. Heck the last time that I remember something like this happening, the kid that had wanted the ball in the first place, he did end up getting it because another kid that had gotten the ball in the first place, ended up giving him the ball after he had already gotten the ball. The kid that had given the ball away to the other ended up getting a far better reward in the end, and it had proven the sportsmenship in the end with what the kid did. Personally I happen to like what had happened in that game, but this last game I'm sorry to say but that was just wrong giving that ball to your girlfriend instead of the kid behind you that should've gotten it in the first place. That's just me, but I would've thought better and made sure that the kid had gotten it, after all one never knows and could get a far better reward later on for doing just that.

Avengers movie next week

Well everyone, next Friday is the day that all fans have been waiting years for and it's happening at long last. The arrival of a combined movie franchise, the movie The Avengers, staring just about everyone that's had their own movie, and they've all done great considering that every movie stuck right to the comics and nothing was changed about them at all.
 
Yeah I'm talking to you DC comics and Warner Bros., your last comic book to movie Green Lantern was good in small parts, but over all was pretty bad. Plus saying that the fans won't go see both the individual movie and the Justice League movie is just wrong on your part, however what's even more wrong is changing up the people playing the parts from one movie to another, that's just wrong right there, you want to keep the same person for each movie, not constantly changing them up like crazy.
 
Personally I don't know if they'll ever learn, but I'm looking forward to the movie, and I've already got my ticket to go see it on the 4th, and right now the only ones that they're selling tickets for in the Fresno area that I can go see it at is for the 3-D version only, no 2-D movies at all. Hey for me that's fine, I really don't mind since the last 3-D movie that I had seen was Spy-Kids 3-D, and those red/blue lens hurt my eyes after a bloody while. However this movie is in Real 3-D which means that we get the full color and we get everything popping right out at us, which personally is perfect. So in the end I'll see lots of weapons fire, tons of characters, and a raging Hulk coming right at me in the theaters, gotta love it.
 
Well next week I'll let you all know how the movie turns out after I get done viewing it, I'm just hoping that I can get an earlier time than what I happen to have, but right now I'm highly doubting that, but we'll see.
