The Distance of the Moon

This was definitely an interesting short story and one I was not expecting.  I personally found it hard to get into and was surprised to find out just how weird it kinda was in a way. The short story itself is basically a love tale but more referring to both the moon and the earth and the main character and their cousin involved with it. Sitting down and trying to munch through this short story was difficult for me because I just found how the writing came across as overly verbose and almost as if the author was trying to write a slam poem yet intertwined with a story. Honestly, I didn't enjoy it. then again I like the concept of it and the main rudimentary idea in a story of when you have something you cannot appreciate it as when it leaves. I think that rains true in real life and not just in the works of fiction.  I am not sure either because if I am not mistaken the author is Italian so knowing the culture I can definitely understand why he chose to make a love story of sorts about this. Overall it is a quick 9 page read that should have taken me a mear 10 minutes to read ended up turning into a whopping 40 minute read with 10 Minutes digesting what I just read and deciphering it. I liked the concept I just think it could have been done better and perhaps in the genre now, has been.

Kairo: Why did he go through the door?

So this cinema also known as "Pulse" I have actually sent he american version first. Let me start by saying that the American version has alot more jump scare tactics rather than the feeling with dread that the Japanese version does. With that of the way I would say that I greatly prefer the Japanese version because I think it touches and addresses alot of the social issues that comes with suicide within the culture. I do have to say though the moment I was like are you fucking kidding me was when  Ryosuke went into the red taped door. Like it was one of those moments that you just find yourself commenting on how dumb this choice could possibly be for EVERYONE involved. Probably the most frustrating thing about it in all honesty. Looking back I love the way they just portray ghosts in jhorror. In this movie they especially use it as the slow moving ghost which also begs the question as to why not most of them run? I think it truly encompasses fear and what it means t...

In Class Assignment: Media Tech in the Next 50 years

2020: The future of tech will be more advanced, the introduction of 8 k in both cinema and games as well as a commercialized full introduction into VR. We will begin our race into the completely digital era. Androids will be more common in the service industry. I think we will still be experimenting on a medical level with grown organs but it will not be in mass production until later on in the next 20 years or so. I think for my industry specifically VR will become more and more mainstream with more and more gaming hubs and arcades appearing as one of the new entertainment systems. 2030: VR is fully implemented and by this time we will being completely connecting to a virtual world or there will be some sort of major virtual component to our lives. I believe we will implement chips that make automation easier as well as contacts and or glasses that make it. Gaming will be pushed to more of an incorporation of everyday life and becomes even a further form of e...

Bloodchild Questions

1. What was your reaction to what you just read? Well I guess I am left in awe a bit. Like it is a feeling of dread and yet at the same time it is a feeling of complacence. Like the whole being used as a breading ground is interesting because it seems there is a bond that is formed between the Tlic and those Terrans who become N'Tlic. Like it is a survival thing on both ends and all highly political. Like I agree with Gan that if this is the process it should be normalized so that it isn't so shocking in the end. Yes, it is private but Terran's should know what they are getting into. Like the Terrans need the Tlic to survive and thrive this world. I don't know. I think there should be repercussions put in place that assure that the N'Tlic have a successful birth, and punishment for those Tlic who fail at that. I don't know it is like a story taking place in the beginning of modern human medicine now adays. Like some people die and with those deaths comes advan...
