Hollywood is really fucking scraping the barrel these days. Case in point: They're making a Marmaduke movie. Owen Wilson is voicing the lead.

It just seems that our filmmakers have stagnated. Nothing new or original really comes out anymore, half the time if it does it's crap. On top of that there is a slew of copy cats that follow each new craze (notice how many vampire related things have come out in books and tv lately?). Has the entertainment industry truly become parasites?



Our filmmakers have not stagnated. There are plenty of young, talented filmmakers making an independant mark on cinema today, in fact there's arguably more. There are constant innovations being made in cinema by these brave new minds.

However, since the blockbuster revolution of the 80s, the 'entertainment industry' has truly geared itself into a business. Originality and quality do not matter to a business. What does matter to them is profits. That's why 'mainstream' movies have taken such a dip in quality.

The main things the executives seek to exploit are brand loyalty and trend cashing. Regardless on where you stand on the new Terminator movies (I hate anything after T2), you wanted to see them because they were Terminator movies. This is an exploitation of consumer's inherent loyalty to brands. A Karate Kid movie will rake in money from people who loved the original. It's depressing, but true.

Also, the whole Vamp-Lite fad is just another example of the mechanical nature of the blockbuster system. This whole attitude has leaked into all forms of entertainment. I'm writing a book and all the research I've done into how to get mine published has shown me that publishers look for reliable (aka unoriginal) material.

Thankfully, the 'indie' scenes of each form of entertainment supply interesting, original material, but sometimes there's a thick layer of pretension you have to dig through to get to the good stuff.

Geez, I need to learn to stop talking.

Neil Gaiman is an American God.

Was pretty decent. I wrote a first draft of a book, graduated high school, sailed with boredom through first semester of community college, had a job and quit it. Got a netbook. Started dating after a period of significant mental wackiness.

We are now 2 years away from proving that 2012 shit wrong.

New RP time. I want a small group of dedicated players. Don't post a character if you don't got the game.

Premise: It is December 25, 2009. Snow gently covers the ground. Families around the world are gathering and celebrating Christmas Day. The day is quiet and calm. But in New York City, just underneath the surface, a robbery is being planned. Far from the watchful eyes of the Legion, Sun-Spot (aka Apollo Thompson), a disaffected light demon, is planning a robbery. He has called together other outcasts of the magical community in hopes of reclaiming what was justly theirs: millions of human dollars. The ragtag group he assembles will find themselves caught up in events far larger than anything Apollo could have ever feared. In the RP, you will play as a member of Sun-Spot's team, using your unique powers to aid in the theft, and whatever else faces you.

Mythology: In this universe, magical creatures exist in the corner of humanity's eye. The Legion, the 'government' of the magical community, has a strict code that demands a covert, non-intrusive stance on humanity. It is possible for magical creatures to take on a human appearance, but there are often a variety of 'giveaway' characteristics depending on a creature's race, and due to pride or sheer difficulty, many magical creatures have declined the ability. If any magical creature reveals any aspect of their true nature to humans, they face STRICT penalties. Rather recently, a tribe of barkites (shamanastic forest dwellers made mainly of bark and moss) were killed in the aftermath of revealing themselves to a human. Keep in mind, magical creatures are not carbon copies of what humans believe them to be (There are no real angels, elves, dwarves, etc), but a vast assortment of relatively unknown races (you can invent your own, but run it by me first, please). Also important: If a human becomes fully aware of magical creatures, they are relentlessly hunted by the Legion. The Legion's official policy on these 'Branded' humans is to enlist them into the Legion so they can be more easily controlled. However, a very small amount live freely, although they live almost like fugitives.

For this RP, I'd rather not make a character sheet. Instead, I think it'd be funner if you wrote up a few paragraphs about your character instead. Make sure you have a good idea of their heritage, history, abilities, and why Sun-Spot would think they could contribute to the robbery. Cool. There we go.

Soon, I'll include another rather large post about various races and aspects of the world so you can understand it better. If you have any questions, I'd be glad to answer.

Okay, here are a few of the magical races that I've created for the RP. I know FX is working on Wraiths, and Clockworkz/Roah has worked on Elementals, so if they'd like to, I'd love for them to post their information on them.

Demons: Demons were once the grunts of the magical world. Neither intrisically evil or good, they were conjured into being by gods and powerful sorcerers and designed to fulfill necessary tasks. A few thousand years ago, before humans had grown vast in number, a few races of demons broke free from captivity and established communities of their own. The free races of demons strove to free all of their enslaved brethren, known by demonkind as the Great Era. When the Human Expansion occured, demon societies began to weaken under political pressure. It was in fact a demon who proposed the idea of the Legion, despite disagreements from the majority of his kind. The Masters, the greatest powers in the land (none demons), took his rallying cry up and unified the magical community. Many once powerful demon lands opposed the unification, and crumbled in the process. Now, most living demons live amongst the ranks of the Legion, traitors to the memory of their ancestors, slaves once again.

Barkites: As previously stated, Barkites are a shamantistic race made mainly of bark and moss. They are a proud people that have clung desperately onto the memory of the pre-human days. Their numbers have been dwindling as human deforestation has acted as unintentional genocide. They are one of the few races with their own unique system of magic, which they are very secretive of.

Muses: A rather new race of magical creature, these beings are conjured when a work of art is admired by a large group of people. The impressions people gain about the works of art give unique powers and personalities to them. Most of the magical community looks down on them, as they are a human-created race, and they spent most of their times in human society as a result (not that they mind).

Behemoths: The 8 colossal beings that supposedly shaped the planet, hidden in eternal slumber in the shadows of the world. Their existence is a legend among the magical community, but it is discouraged to publicly discuss them or propose they are real.

Emporals: Also called "the kingly kinds", the Emporals are the "higher forms" (as Plato once hypothesized) of animals. They possess great intelligence and greatly enhanced characterstics than their animal offshoots. (Think a super version of an animal.) Several races of Emporals flourish (as far as Emporal society goes) in their native lands around the world. Much speculation has gone into the location or fate of the Emporal Humans. Some believe that they killed each other like their offshoots, or they are afraid of the magical community and in hiding somewhere. Both are likely.

I will post more later, but this took a lot out of me.

I saw it. Fuck the plot complaints. I felt like I was seven years old watching Star Wars. I'd see it again without hesitation.

Xeo: I think this movie will do just fine outside of theaters. Sure, it won't be AS epic, but the visuals and the story will hold up just fine. I know I'm definitely going to pick it up.

Also, it fits in eerily well with the Blu-ray movement.

Christmas Day. 3:00 AM. New York City. Blanketed by a quiet lining of fresh snow, the city streets were unnaturally quiet. It was as though a spell had been cast over the city, lulling even the most restless souls to sleep and dream of joy and love for just a few sweet hours.
Of course, that was just a metaphor. There were no spells that could make the population of New York City to fall asleep. That was too much work for even the most powerful spellcasters in the Legion to attempt.
But, the silence was real, and Apollo was happy for it. He had planned on the darkness, but the silence just made this meeting even more secure. He purveyed the skyline from his lavishly decorated loft for just a moment longer before shutting the blinds. You never know who could be watching.
Apollo had good reason to be nervous. It was very, very against the law to plan something like he was planning on planning that night. He had made most of his fortunes committing similar crimes, but this time, he had loftier goals. So lofty that he could not do it alone.
He walked into his bathroom and looked into the large mirror hanging above the marble sink. In his human form, he was an attractive African American male, with a shaved head and sharp features. He was dressed in a cool black suit, with a white dress shirt that was so clean it seemed to glow. Or maybe that was him. He didn't really care.
Something to his right caught his eye. He looked and saw his shadow, growing wider and darker on the wall. His hands began to emanate light, and he growled, and his shadow returned to normal.
He looked back at the mirror one last time. He saw the brilliant ritual lines of his heritage fade off of his human skin, and he sighed. He had lost more control than he thought. With that, he shut the lights off and exited the room.
Entering the living room, Apollo made himself comfortable. He looked up at the door and smiled as the handle began to shake. His accomplices were beginning to arrive.

"Make yourself comfortable, friend. I know you well enough. I was in the Legion when you sank the Titanic. I'm a fan."

He laughed as he picked up a deck of cards on the ottoman and began to shuffle them. In his hands, the cards flowed in and out of place like water.

"Though, I must admit, I'm looking for a bit more subtley this time around."

"Edward, meet Kane. He's an old accomplice of mine. He's proven to be more efficient and trustworthy than most of his kind. I imagine he'll be joining us in a more corporeal fashion in a few moments."

Apollo began dealing the deck of cards out on the table, setting places that certainly had not even been filled yet. He was expecting a small crowd.
