Forced stop at hearth. Downpour of winter.

Just a look to one of large companies with talented studios in the past. Midway Games didn’t restrict developers in artistry and risked with budget till bankruptcy. Stranglehold (2007) cost impressive 30 million dollars and required 15 GB of space, which was half of disk D in my computer. I saw these money detailed in everywhere destructions. That company was buried with game’s sequel, which was promising more enhancing demolitions, and regular open-world game This Is Vegas with multiple arcade abilities for 40 or 50 million dollars. Currently gaming is ongoing dictatorship of common trends. 

Disney opened new studio Lucasfilm Games took traditions of predeceasing LucasArts in giving licenses to third-party studios and companies. I have interest just to Indiana Jones and Star Wars, which were taken in exploiting. I haven’t care before to announcement on adventure of archeologist by Bethesda while Star Wars’s project from Ubisoft’s studio Massive Entertainment I will ultimately ignore if their pronounced remoting combination “open world game” will touching with fan fiction of Disney. More interesting would be a game in original unimplemented ideas. However, the highest bet Star Wars will entourage of “open world game by Ubisoft”. 

Aspiring to be a big publisher Nacon releases budgetary games and doesn’t express interest to progress, which can be in twenty years. A company came from a past. Automobile games on acquired famous trademarks (Oh, damn. One of them is Test Drive.) by inner studio Kylotonn are making far advance for PC-exclusive Larry Ragland’s 4x4 Challenge (2001), which impresses in realism of transport behavior and not so be correct for going to be a perfect, but nicely well a damageability. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood extended in information in videos for to be liked. Selected gameplay for don’t showing flaws. Never was a video of clear gaming process. They, as any publisher, can’t understand that this trick for raising doubts. I have likeable games in which graphics wasn’t equal to then modern progress as I many times completed The Punisher (2005) and often have a thought to do it again. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood can’t hide in graphics and doesn’t need a beast computer as can read in system requirements. I am expecting this game for shapeshifting abilities, but I am recalling cancelled twenty years ago Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of Gaia, which was more curious in gameplay abilities on which I was writing. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood has stealth and, of course, it is larger in technical opportunities as in animation. Will it have a fun? Gameplay in presented videos identifies with arcade games of Activision. You entering in zone where must defeat bunch of enemies. Fallen grenades write circle of damage. Flying drones buzz for warning of planning attack on you. It comes if you failed a stealth. Pieces of gameplay approves that lifebars are ruining games. In this one, adversaries don’t react on mighty paws. Video reveals inactive artificial intelligence. No, it is not stupor on seeing of antagonist in monster’s guise. Suppressing things against of Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Heart of Gaia, but, maybe I’ll find something in Cyanide’s work. I am just a damned optimist who is looking for a cure from boredom.

Reverse can release who was a revolutionary. Empire of Sin from John Romero is stingy to elaborated gameplay of criminal activity in Beatdown (1999). No reason to install as I boycott playing in games of companies who don’t want to respect and use lying tricks, which among them I am about GSC Game World returned with misleading. Cossacks 3 was reinvented Cossacks. I almost bought it, because trusted to their past in previous games and I liked gameplay, which company was showing and which wasn’t whole until I watched it in stream of one gaming website. Now GSC Game World advancing with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 on which they are dropping of unnecessary information. I never had any point of anticipating to long development of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., because bad was so revealing. Many years after appearance, I saw game’s icon and launched it for self-confidence. I was in computer club. Inaccurate weapons on tenacious adversaries liked to do foolishing. A plot, which I read later, matched to the rest. I boycotted to play again after reading of Roadside Picnic by Strugatskiy brothers, which title and relation with a game I had acknowledge before. Developers of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. stole multiple elements and whole conception. It is a slack book by mediocre in writing authors where world isn’t thoughtful as I always saw raw details in other compositions of brothers. Roadside Picnic used as a basement for individual plot of film Stalker, which world is poorer of the book and director got carried in making of good shot forgetting about the rest and hadn’t experience in making shooting scenes. Strugatskiy brothers’ work and their names didn’t mention in credits of all S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, which GSC Game World for evading trademark prosecution registered “stalker” with points after every letter. I haven’t other view in anticipating of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 except more causes to don’t play in it as in any of company’s games.

Drink, Pray, More Drink. Negroamaro Primitivo Salento.

A long road to a next drink. A bottle of Negroamaro Primitivo Salento has a so small price on which could awake an alarm on quality, because that is not a whisky (or whiskey.) where for a little price can use a divine water. Possible disappointing to Italian wine could be expressed in alternative by guiding a containment for gluhwein. I’ve opened bottle to which I gave much time for breathing while will do preparations for drinking. I sniffed and smell was palatable. 

I’ve made a first sip and it was taste of acid in mouth, which didn’t evade after swallowing. Later it was revealed that wine requires more time for breathing for be drinkable in own price category.

Serenity for soul in aftertaste.

Япония. Обратная сторона кимоно (Japan. The Other Side of Kimono)

Documentaries about countries by journalist and TV host Vladimir Pozner are intelligent with serious approach of researching where tell history, traditions, culture and take interviews of famous, significant and amazing citizens. I was in addict watching of episode by episode on America, France, Germany, England. I was waiting every part on Israel, Spain on TV. Then author combined in one countries of Scandinavia, which couldn’t tell for necessity. Excitement to filming on Japan was until reading of interviews with author where he was expressing personal prejudices that he didn’t wish to do these series, because doesn’t understand Japan.

In the first of eight episodes I had a supposition, which became a conclusion in that Vladimir Pozner arrived without background knowledge about country as it was in previous films. TV host doesn’t make usual behind look and grabs common topics, which can be matured as in previous documentaries and slightly as it was on sumo in few words of two sportsmen and fact on holding of child in hands. Film willn’t enlighten in story and things as throwing of rice. A spectator without knowledge on samurais willn’t get more on them. Pozner in intro of each episode quotes as he calls “Samurai’s Code of Honor” on which author thinks that modern Japanese people are similar, but he misleads as misinform audience in title. No common guide on becoming of samurai. Multiple books were written, which are different in approach and book’s purpose could be for province. Pozner reveals unprofessionalism by considering himself as samurai by one phrase from one of these books. I know a source and can say that living in luxury Pozner isn’t a samurai. He and accompanying in every documentary Ivan Urgant are two Russian tourists what softly means a disrespect to unknown culture. A Russian snob and patterning Russian savage. Urgant is a dropdown in high culture stage of films in which I want to have editions with all cut scenes with him. It is shame to stay near at him due of his intolerance, a behavior in acceptance in his motherland. I would be depart and lock him in Russia for actions, which he blatantly dares near of Italian princesses. Urgant allowed using of pejorative expression to nations before as once in films on Italy. There can define as rudeness when in Japan he expressed hate in giving an offensive word to Americans, which he said in discussing with Pozner about bombing Japan. I suppose Urgant heard about Pearl Harbor, but he doesn’t want to mention it. Perhaps, he didn’t and don’t want to know about imperialistic ambitions by conquering Korea and invasion in China with details of inhuman acts as in Nanjing. I would be remove a scene, but the author joined to degradation of personality in this documentary as will a useful conversation about his sex life. I expressed “Gaijin” on Urgant in his dinner with Japanese family, which was in a house of the third man in adventure who is a guide Satoshi Yoshida. His presence was a pleasure to hear in excellent Russian curious and splendid things about Japan. Satoshi was interesting as a personality. Every documentary had multiple people in interview, which limited in The Other Side of Kimono and it corroborates weakness of researching.

There were things of top intelligence level. Objective reasoning on nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which view I support at all. It was interesting to learn about Japanese education with which journalist compared the Soviet and I share that’s view too. Look in centuries on Japanese houses, who were ninjas, a little bit of tea ceremony and not much, but not bad on kabuki theatre. Beautiful of film in great of spoiled.

Pozner and Urgant are two Russian tourists as I aforementioned. The last person usually appears in documentaries for few episodes in beginning and then he absents, because TV job, but he is in big time in Japanese adventure. Two hosts in conversations, which don’t relate to Japan or it’s idle chattering. Vladimir Pozner was exposing Russian snob before as it was, for example, in one read his view about film, which I don’t recall a title where he calls it a great and everybody who disagree with it is primitive or something equal to it. He asks Satoshi about manga reading. Japanese says that he and his son are liking to use it. Backstage commentary of the author that he would resume that these people with limited interests if it was an individual case on loving of manga, but he doesn’t reason it, because manga popular in Japan. I can agree that reading of these comics can be noxious for people. They willn’t wish to read text books, but Vladimir Pozner’s view on manga is strict non-acceptance without learning of it. His questions more attack of people liking it for goal of negative verdict. Journalist criticizes kabuki theatre, because he can’t understand it. I don’t like to define characteristics in nations, but that man considers himself as Frenchman and evades that he is a Russian despite Pozner denies existence of freedom and “absolute happiness”, which are definitions for that you are talking with Russian as it is Vladimir Pozner in full.
In person, I don’t share concern of the author on reducing of population of the island country, which is overpopulated.
Sponsors were in previous documentaries, but in moment and maybe in two documentary series while three episodes of The Other Side of Kimono have large parts of recommendations on Lexus and several minutes of privileges of using of AEROFLOT (No thanks! I prefer something of capitalistic.), which in scene of conversation between Pozner and airport receptionist where journalist offers a standard Russian awkwardness by fly in Japan with him where obviously he isn’t serious and it makes uncomfortable for sitting woman in this idle talk.

Almost every Pozner’s documentary is a colossal revealing about narrating country. I knew limited on Japan. I got more information as a great time with series of journey documentaries with personally pleasant hosts Joanna Lumley and Guy Martin.

Chronicles of Second Cold War. 01/19/2021.

Johnny Mnemonic in 2021.

Johnny switches on calendar on TV screen where sees that today’s date is Thursday January 17, 2021, which is Sunday in our reality. Then by this remote controller he dials a phone number on TV to Ralfi who offers him a profit-paying job located in central part of Beijing. Future technologies of film repelling from progress of that time looked great in then reality while obsolent in present watching. Make a phone call is more comfortable than it was presenting twenty-five years ago.

What is a future in the film?

World attacked Nerve Attenuation Syndrome (shorted in NAS), which syndromes are blindness, mark decay of synoptic functions, blackout, uncontrollable trembles. It appeared 32.8 months ago (April 2017) and still cause is unknown. Officially is no vaccine, but later will discover cure was invented 8 months ago (May 2020). Well, unfortunately, world pandemic has in reality caused by coronavirus got name COVID-19 from Chinese town Wuhan appeared in December 2019. Syndromes of it can be fatigue, loss of smell ability, fever, breathing trouble, coughing, high temperature. It still unknown from what animal origins virus. First vaccine proofed 95% effectiveness and it released in December 2020.

Internet isn’t in virtual reality, which isn’t progressive as in film. Hacking doesn’t go dramatically and you willn’t get an electricity strike for failure to pass off paroles if you don’t make a personal option of your keyboard activating for every wrong pushed button.

Movie doesn’t miss about Asian influence, which can see from China in nowadays. Johnny Mnemonic indicated it in Japan, which corporations not so far from a time of filming were buying American companies. Buyout brought to inflation of the country of rising sun in the end of eighties. In 1989, appointed director of Bank of Japan Yasushi Mieno didn’t take attention on economic situation and extremely was raising rates. Crash of Japanese economy was achieved in 1992.
No wrong in reporting about influence of corporations. Life of most of Americans tied with them. Salary gives in paycheck, which can convert in cash in banks. Possibly pills were made by one of pharmacological corporation. Internet, cable television, video on demand, smartphones are usually from multinational companies.

Johnny arrives in Beijing where he goes through anti-government protests requiring to stop NAS. Impossible fantasy that citizens of modern China express a mass disagreement. I know it was in minor scale in provinces, which are due of greediness of local politicians who deprive a source of life for inhabitants. And those organize protests for return of stability, which returns by appearance of high-ranking men. Nobody of strikers do it against of the Party. Anti-government protests have presence in Hong Kong, which China occupies. Johnny visits a place of job getting, which is delivering of information on 320 gigabytes by his brain. Capacity in head of antagonist is 160 gigabytes. There has no a need to know neuroscience for understand of initial absurd. However, follow further. 320 gigabytes looked a large-scale size, which is today big, but not as in 1995. I have in recalling Space Quest IV, a game of 1991 with size less of 100 megabytes had in a story a disk with King’s Quest XXXXVIII – Quest for Disk Space, which description puzzles on find space for requiring 12 gigabytes. Transportation of file with 320 gigabytes can deliver without brain damage in our world by flash drive, which today has in terabytes. File downloaded for less of one minute and one minute with few seconds will later in movie’s story. Extremely unbelievable for 2021, which we have. The fastest downloading is 2000 Megabits in second by Xfinity. It uploads 250 Megabytes for one second from where gets 21 minutes and 20 seconds will spent for 320 gigabytes.
After downloading Johnny goes in bathroom for washing of hands. Sink’s crane activates by limb detection what in present days can find in civilized countries. Voice says a temperature of water, which is possibly can be, but I’ve never heard on implementation of it. Meantime, hotel room attacks yakuza whose main man has a laser thread for breaking of door, dismembering people and it strangely useless against iron cage. Laser technologies in development for militaries as usually at first, but progress hasn’t film’s level and it doesn’t come for personal using. And I more care about safety of that weapon. I take for theory that it was invented on black market or that guy could did it for himself.
Johnny evades shootout and escapes in independent Free City of Newark, which didn’t become in reality. A state lives in mega poverty. It possibly to see hobos (and all of them are negroes.) in this part of America, but economy stance isn’t disastrous and people without home aren’t so much as all this watching in the film. Furthermore, currently in New Jersey state rarely can see much people due of quarantine. Johnny passes migration check by scanning machine making his body roentgen and using of electronic ID. Of course, developed world goes to electronic, but a paper passport in actuality with human custody officers whom film swapped on computer. Scanning advanced to seeing your body in 3D.
Story relocates to headquarters of Pharmakom in leading by yakuza. Japanese mafia, which legalized in origin country, because has organized structure, got for control crime of the most dangerous districts of Japan. They haven’t in ruling corporations and, of course, if it in New Jersey. Head of yakuza Takahashi watches 3D image of his dead daughter. It is possible in theory to watch if specially make it, but home video doesn’t watch in this view. Doesn’t rid from probability in closing screen by movement of hand as did Takahashi in conversation of appeared as will revealed an artificial intelligence of died company worker who freely jumping in networks. 2021 happened at us is not have it.
Johnny traps in confrontation with yakuza who had automatic rifles, which can transform in pistol with silencer. I didn’t see models of film’s weapon, but these kind of guns aren’t trouble in making and they are presenting. After few corps Johnny comes in bar on meeting with Ralfi where show a bartender with metallic hand implants, which is true for us. Technologies allow to have limps to which can give action commands. Johnny knows that employer betrayed him, but he traps for the second time. Ralfi in collaboration with yakuza want to extract file from a main hero. It doesn’t happen, because looking for job personage named Jane helps for offered 20,000 turned to 50,000 dollars Johnny escape from guys, whom could kill in the movie for multiple times, but them keep alive for final kill.
Then, after many running, Johnny uses a booth phone for making a video call. Everywhere in scenes of dialing can see AT&T logo. A company tried in decades to launch a videophone. Three years before of filming it was Videophone 2500. Implementation of conversation with using of video was from late 1870s. First film demonstrated speaking characters was incredible Metropolis (1927) where set goes in 2026. Johnny uses a phone booth, which can see in exclusion places. Not anymore on the streets to bitter unfortunately. It easy to call by portative phone and switch on video for seen a person, but image in ugly rectangle to shame and curse of makers. Later will reveal that a man with whom talked Johnny was a fake live image used by yakuza leader. It can do in our actuality, but graphics quality is not identical for believe.
Adventures of Johnny will unwillingly make him a requiring savior of the world who in expressed disagree to be this man in many tastes mentions “10,000 dollars hooker for night”. Well, so little of prostitutes take in thousands and more and more less in ten thousands. Apart of it, them can find for 40,000 dollars in time of Cannes Festival. However, prostitutes in the expensive brothels cost less of five hundreds dollars. Johnny wants exclusive if in our situation.
Of course, Johnny will agree to save the world and by it he will get more than “10,000 dollars hooker for night” – will find love.

I am not attractive to future of Johnny Mnemonic, but I prefer it to seeing reality for hotel rooms where significant for me a Beijing’s bathroom designed with artistry to incomparable mono in contemporary hotels.

Bloody Hell

Awaiting a plane a scriptwriter Robert Benjamin noticed a non-English family oddly looking on him and simultaneously they were speaking on own language between each other. It inspired Benjamin for a plot with subtle title “Bloody Hell”. 

A fact read on IMDB. Another one is it a first movie of planned trilogy. A typical quantity and usually in beginning, but it is not always means negative. I saw a wonderful ending. Not everything I like in it. And I about things directed for a sequel. Wrong in that it goes against characteristics of personages. Nevertheless, I not so often watch a contemporary film with passion have interest to story where I don’t have idea in coming. I was guessing in little times a next director’s decision, but helmed filming Alister Grierson constantly gives rattling in staging. Madness of Bloody Hell emanates from Australia. It is what calls Ozploitation. Astonishing acting of unknown Ben O’Toole often gives one-man performance of his sophisticated character. Robert Benjamin is author of succulent dialogs fuzzing a craziness, which sees everywhere without words. It’s likeable for me conversations in situations are not fit for these talks. Absolutely all playing by unfamiliar (and it’s a first full-length flick for Meg Fraser.) before men and women are nicely great. I like mentioning of real films applying for comparison with whatever. Bloody Hell disgusts in horror episodes, makes laughing till it can go to a black humor, tense by suspense. Movie in variety displays society by trends in decades and current in Internet. In usual worst.
