Bait

Bait we have heard of the word bait use but it's far from that something in fact here's something that i found about bait. I made no secret that i don't trust how corporations use a franchise as a bait and switch before ruining it and blaming the fans for the damage and never taking responsibility for it only to be manipulated and use gaslight the fans and support the shippers but here's a quote of the term Bait. 

"to intentionally make a person angry by saying or doing things to annoy them: Ignore him - he's just baiting you. I suspect he was just baiting me. SMART Vocabulary: related words and phrases. Causing feelings of anger and displeasure" Now we have heard of Bait and Switch that is promoting a franchise only to use and to killed off the franchise and characters in order to promote new ones. 

Yep and those for who think bumbleby (rwby) isn't used as bait and was planned which i like to think that those keep claiming are only trying to gaslight and manipulate those into thinking it was despite the creator wanted it to be a sisterhood which to my mind seems like a great idea. Now here's the thing boys and girls when you are trying to bait something in fandoms you're not there to educate and telling people of what's canon or how it was planned and take advantage of a group of demanding psycho weirdos who want a same-sex relationship be canon and focus on them instead of the story or characters but you know in a time of social media where a company becomes evil and listens to the shippers that interfere in the story and lazy and trying to be pandering towards shippers just look at George Takei who is openly gay who was unhappy of his character in the reboot. how Star Trek Beyond decided to show Sulu a historically straight character meeting up with his husband which sounds like pandering. And with this alarming rate and how much rwby fanbase has become so much division and toxic attacking and criticizing the story and characters the bees too and how rooster teeth keep making the writing look bad enough and use the bees as bait and take advantage of and bully them for whatever reason is possible and you know on social media you have them spreading nothing but theories and fan art of the bees and also getting so mad at a tweet made by the official rwby twitter account of Blacksun that had great chemistry before the bees took and ruin it and got so salty they wanted the rwby twitter account was ever going to but blend the knee to them however they didn't so HA. Back to the main topic ever heard of Queerbaiting being used and talk of but the way how they handle the characters' sexuality just look back in the 1930s and Beyond either hinted at in subtext or just straight up shown for what it was I mean really what do you think Marlene Dietrich was trying to say about herself here anyway the point once again is that Simply Having LGBT characters and relationships featured prominently in your story doesn't make it walk in the slightest they're just facets of human life that can make for interest and stories like any other what does create problems though is the lazy practice of taking established characters and retcon in their sexuality to make them gay or the fact they keep on having two lovers being gay bis and pan in shows doesn't have them be dysfunctional toxic lovers always making it be like it;s always positive and keep it like that in modern entertainment is the way gay relationships are only ever depicted in the most positive and idealized way possible like how many stories and TV shows have you seen recently were heterosexual relationships are either non-existent or depicted as dysfunctional Loveless toxic or breaking down entirely whereas gay relationships are almost universally framed as stories of true love and understanding between two wonderful people triumphing against the odds that sort of stuff is great and all but if that's the only aspect of relationships that you ever show then it creates yet another restriction on your ability to tell a compelling and nuanced story you're locked into one specific path that denies the reality and complexity of real life substituting it for an idealized fantasy world where nothing gay can ever be bads putting any grip up on a pedestal is just as damage into your storytelling ability as demonizing them is now the reason I've spent so long trying to clarify all this stuff is because I can see a bit of a problem looming on the horizon here now that more and more people were pushing back against wokeness and entertainment. 


Now with the bees being used right now and seen as toxic psycho and demanding with a largest ego then they don't understand of how the writers make it different or work out in the end or didn't really say of the character's sexuality but obivous since rwby v9 is out and v10 happening and fans don't want rwby be cancelled isn't going to help but it is at it's end and the show won't lasted longer i could be wrong.

Top 10 Favorite Music Composers

Music Composers are those who we listen to if it's their soundtracks that is awesome emotional sweet or what the music is like. But lately, i have been hearing their music and thought of why not enjoy talking about their work. 

I have gone through the ones that i listen to and look on the composers and to be honest i really like their work from the electro music film scores among other things so i decided to write this one down and talk of the composers and their work so why not. 


10. Troels Folmann 


Let's start things off with Troels Folmann now if there's fans of the tomb rider series that know of his work you'll be wondering why is he on the list well i saw his name on Transformers Fall of Cybertron that he done i'm not gonna lied i have to enjoy his work on Transformers Fall of Cybertron cause the music itself felt like more tense moments in there approaching threats or some loud beat musics into it. The ones he did for the main theme of the game was more mature and hearing it on the intro of FOC was very cinematic style that. One of my favorite tracks of FOC is Defend ark Bee on roll conflict with the ark parts 1 and 2 the main theme and theme where metroplex sarafice himself which really hit hard even hearing it time and again it makes you feel how gutwrenching that one was.  


9. Randy Newman 


Randy Newman has always been part of my childhood i like his work on Toy Story that he has done through 1-3 such as You got a friend in me that has been memorable from us who heard of it on the opening of Toy Story he has done. The moving van has been my favorite along with tracks in the films that i can go on about it but they give out a upbeat joy and sometimes tearful ones that i'm sure we can get to like toy story 3. 


8. Joseph Trapanese 


Joseph Trapanese is one of those composers who i often forgot now he has work on the score for Iron Man 3 Trailer music Something to fight for, he has work with other composers too which was on Tron Legacy with Composed with Daft Punk and First collaboration with Kosinski. He has done Tron Uprising too my favorite work. 

Beck's Theme 

Paige's theme 

Dyson drops in 

Scars Suite 

Lightcycle Battle Remix 

Lux's Sacrifice 

Tesler


I have to like scares suite it really sets up the feeling of action that was really playing out in part 2 with Tron against dyson before coming to his sense in cyrus and the track really work well just check it out.


7. Wendy Carlos 


Wendy Carlos is no stranger of mind cause she has done interesting music that were electronic music that she has done the works of a clockwork orange tron and the shining. One of my favorite tracks from Wendy Carlos isthe opening of the shining that gives out a march like theme where the movie begins with Jack driving his volkswagen vehicle to the hotel and you can't help but hear the music playing and the sounds of the scream from above is heard like if you're being followed. She has work on a Clockwork orange which i know quite a few which is the the march of queen mary a thieves night Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven) and there is ode to joy that is heard in the record store that was available before being taken but it is on vinemo and maybe on the soundtrack i'm not sure. 

Then Comes Tron which i can't help but remember her work of the film one of the soundtracks that i really have to like is Tron Scherzo love theme ending theme and Tron theme that i recall of listening when i was 13 years old and i admire her work and couldn't help but enjoy it. 


6. John Debney 


I have spoken of John Debney he has done before on Jimmy Neutron and from what i can tell is the only one i might have miss out but ah well. The soundtrack itself has more of being sci-fic like that the movie has play through and has worked on beautifully made cool tracks in the movie like before the meteor shower where the kids are in space and look at the galaxy Jimmy missing his parents reunion too that i can't help but find those to be the best of John's work you can find it about on my JN 20th anniversary post. 


5. Hans Zimmer 


Hey remember Time and the scores from Inception that Hans Zimmer work before of course you have, plus who can't forget about his work on Inception and Blade Runner that he has rescore and rework on 2049 he even made tears in the rain score that is so heavily made but beautifully score as it captures the feelings of the classic not just that in general but sea wall is one my favorites too in 2049 check it out if you can, he has done work Christopher Nolan films which was the dark knight trilogy that are my favorites. 


4. John Williams 


We all know John Williams work on Jaws Superman ET Star Wars Jurassic Park Indiana Jones among other works he has done but personally, i really do like his work on Star Wars Jurassic Park and Superman that i remember hearing while listening to the soundtrack themselves. Obsivoloy it really is hard for me to name all of his work from the films that he has work that have become very ironic to us to hear feel free to check them out. 


3. Daft Punk 


We all like that music from Daft Punk very much but who can't forget about Tron Legacy i have mention them before but i'll get right on it. Which is Son of Flynn Derzerred Grid Arrival Solar Sunset Disc Wars Rinzler Adrigo for Tron Flynn Safehouse and Clu that i have listen to and they are awesome pack hearing check them out if you can across youtube or download them if you can.

I listen to his work a-lot they are available to be download and can listen to them on Youtube. And i just find the work he has done to be pretty much memorable and really ironic when listening to the paris or the fight music. 

1. Danny Elfman 


I mean who can't forget about Danny Elfman music that we heard mostly on Tim Burton and Sam Raimi Danny has done a number of interesting music that were in the films like who can't forget the ironic theme of batman 89 which they are more of a gothic style and really works out the music of Spider-Man 1-2 Like the opening song love theme for MJ and Peter Parker Rooftops New Powers Final ConfrontationGreen Goblin and final swing music check it out online. 


At last that's all of the music composers that i have choosen so oh also i did mention of those who never made it so here goes but here are those who i didn't get to mention but i really like their work too. 


Gustav Holst 

There isn't much to say about Gustav but probably the only track that i really like was Mars that really is famous on the internet. 


Thomas Newman 

Much like his brother Randy Newman Thomas is also known for the work on Finding Nemo that i have recall listening too he might have other compose other music tracks. Haiku Gill Fish are friends not food field trip and theme of the movie are pretty cool to hear. 


Jesper Kyd 

Most know for his work on Assassin's Creed but i have to like Ezio's Family Brotherhood Escapes Rome Home In Florence Modern Rome Apple Chamber Streets in Venice and escape are among my favorites of listening too so i have to enjoy Assassin's Creed Soundtrack from the ezio trilogy. 


James Newton Howard 

James Newton Howard has work on Dinosaur that i will talk hopefully he done works with Hans Zimmer over the dark knight trilogy so at least he gets the credits for it and a lot of work he has done and i forgot to look on too. 


Vangelis 

Vangelis has a great soundtrack on Blade Runner and i haven't talk about him just yet so oh well.maybe one day i will.

I got Mail.

I wish i got this over Christmas break but i got myself Scrubs and Tf Animated Bumblebee a childhood toy that I've always wanted as a kid. I order these two on ebay and was not hard to find so here goes. 


Came into two boxes and it was a us postal office delivery thanks new jersey. 


I open the boxes and came in a bubble rack covering scrubs dvd and had that logo of a 80s console no idea what it was.
Transformers Animated Bumblebee box was like anything else during the promotion of the show and i remember what the box was and here it, oh how the toy box was back in those days. 





I check the back of the box and you can see other figures which is Prowl Cybertron Optimus Prime and Lockdown that i use to have before. I never get to have prowl but maybe i will one day. 



Scrubs came into seven seasons that i was glad to get and wanted to watch the show it is on disneyplus but i just wanted to watch it on dvd and look forward to watch them. 


As for Bumblebee in TFA i couldn't help but really like the toy that i remember as a kid that i use to have but broke it and even had trouble transforming him back to car mode and i was use to transforming the characters into car mode or not. 


Here's him with his two boosters that he use in the show. It does drive well a bit and i couldn't help but really like the car. 




And here he is in his robot mode and i was able to transformed him back to car mode and i have the instructions with me just in case and i guess now then i have him in my bumblebee collection it's pretty cool to have tf animated around a great show.

James Gunn's New DCE

James Gunn annouced his new dc universe films and did talk of how the dceu was a mess under Synder's Leadership and cause the films to get made but rushed and to keep up with Marvel so what better ways to think of his new take on the Dc films and since the last films of the old dceu are the flash shazam 2 and aquaman 2 will be release later this year and Joker 2 and Matt Reeve Batman film won't be affect by gunn's new universe however his new dc films will be different with one of them being Superman brave and the bold. 

He mention of Swamp Thing The Authority Lanterns Tv Show and Peter Safran will be involved too so I have no idea if i could go see his new film universe other than supporting the creep Ezra Miller and throw shade at Henry Gunn well what do you think. I'll talk about his comments on the old DCEU. 


Concerns of The Animation Industry

Out of most studios lately i've been concern of the animation industry which was the talks of Puss in Boots the last wish and Hbo disastrous Velma series has been a disaster and people have said that Velma has gotten everything wrong of animation and lately other movies have been a flop and disasters like Lightyear and pretty much Disney and Pixar movies that have become box office bombs expect for Dreamworks so that has been working out fine. But i been having a lot of thoughts on animation studios if it's the animators/crew abusing their power and the work of scenes. The concerns is how they are presenting on screen before crunch kicks in to over work their staff or scenes they have work on and causing them to go overbudget. 

I don't know what's going on behind close doors of the animation industry if it's claims of abuse or not treating their staff respect kind of reminds me Nickelodeon with Ren and Stimpy and their creator John K who was difficult work with and abuse his staff of overbudget his staff which was explained in the Documentary Happy Happy Joy Joy that you check out.

Rise of the Beasts Movie Mirage


So we got to see Superbowl tv spots of the transformers and the flash but i'm not gonna dive into that and saw the one for Transformers Rise of the beasts and lately mirage looks improve but more of Jazz's take since we don't know why and mirage looks alright but i came across this analysis part and mirage doesn't look like the one from the G1 which i can agree and doesn't reassemble it now look i'm not trying to attack the crew behind it and i would see the character could get some improvements before the movie came out i know i know the vf crew who work on the cgi are working on the character and since most of the characters from the G1 show could look like the same just before the movie comes out and i hope that the movie improve. This is from Artiststan.

Are Shippers Toxic?

(Warning this post is not something that i wish to talk about but perhaps a subject that needs to be talk about) 

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Rwby the potential its a internet legend. Rwby was an American Anime-Like style so inspired and took inspirations from Fantasy and Disney, It told such great stories and Characters and its animation very similar and different than japanese anime, right after the creator passed away then came upon the corrupted and greedy executives from the creator's friends who taught them everything and embrace the toxicity of the bees.

Alright enough of that writing. Let's talk about the toxicity of the shippers now i don't mean all of them but i thought of something else very toxic very forced and problematic too. I'm Talking about ones like Olicity and Bumbleby or maybe other shippers that can be very notorious and uncomfortable if not don't understand the age differences or think of the character's sexuality where the ridiculous speculation from Tumblr and Twitter would come up these topics. I mean i'm not saying that these users on twitter are toxic i meant the ones who shipped characters disregarding the creator's vision of the story and ignoring criticism of the show and there comes the mob getting so mad and makes lies but if you look at the tweets from these individuals who push it too far only to celebrated and get call out for their actions on these shippers this is why that toxicity in Rwby can be a problem now that i have talk about it and did like Rwby back when i was entering High School but i would grow out of it around 2016 and did come back and see it around 2017 of Summer as time would move by and the fandom start to become very toxic like Steven Universe Etc. Can be toxic and glad i never got into that show. And Yang throughout the story wanted to be close with Blake since what Volume 1 or 2 and didn't even call her out for Blake running away and her cowardly acts to her team and friends always running away from her mistakes and doesn't even to justified it, but couldn't because of the shippers and not wanting to anger them part of the LGBTQ Representation that RT has been forcing to and this is nothing against it but some people don't want to understand facts or reality. 

Olicity however i have to think is toxic cause of pushing for Oliver and Felicity to be together after the writers even Marc Guggenheim push it in and didn't follow in the source material of Green Arrow and Since it has done nothing but ruined the show after it ended and didn't even bother to killed it off around Seasons 5-7 and 8 i guess they didn't care about it only care for the two pairing not the story and character yet it became the show's problem as Season 4 became about Felicity and her friends talk about an attempt to spin off show if you ask me. Olier didn't even change his persona and Felicity however should have move on and left the team but because of the chemistry and wanting her to be around and that she's a hacker of the team they couldn't even bother to make a new one. Plus much like Rwby screenshots of Olicity shippers on Twitter who wanted Stephen to marry Emily bett Rickards that's mess up and down right creepy since is already marry to Cassandra Jean don't force a actor to marry emily weirdos. Not only that i bet that whenever Olicity fans want to it to be canon it becomes very toxic on Tumblr plus since the show fail it's comic book readers the show know that there was nothing to do to ever fixed it or change it. Oh also John Diggle actor is part of shipping so what a sell out. 

I'm gonna think that since some shipping characters into pairs is not all toxic but some shipping of the two like of LGBTQ not wanting to discrediting it and not call out Bumbleby supporters who almost threat Miles and Kerry to make it canon after giving them death threats and got away with it and since the subject of how rt definite are queerbaiting the shippers which makes it looks like they are not allies with them. Olicity similar and get away with it. 

But here's my message to the shippers who want to ship two girls together shipping oscar with Rwby who is 14 and Ruby only what 16 and 17 years old and Oliver with Felicity disregarding Oliver and Laurel and what would have made them to be couple from the comics but changes from the team is this message, You're trash scum disapprove your shipping but you deserve to be call out for toxicity and getting so mad at people who speak the truth and pushing in a ship disrespectful for a creator's show only to agree with the writer's political beliefs than you and i are not agreeing with certain things and get away with it i wish someone can call you all out or how about how Rooster teeth just want to weaponize and use the bees as a bait and sure i know what will happen next or maybe not who knows i'm not gonna try to be right or wrong but after the drama back in October of last year just exposed Rooster Teeth and Miles and Kerry worthless and bad as writers maybe back in university you should have thought of your chances. Yet in the wake of Kdin's document of coming forward and exposing Rooster Teeth and their poor working conditions along with transphobic homophobic and racism that the company has hide from some time now but i already cover previous from last year feel free to check it out but hey i guess rooster teeth has a fine history of queerbaits using and manipulate people. 

Happy Valentine's day

Why writers need take feedback

In common times we have these times that when we come across a writer or director who gets mad at people online for the a franchise failing which is not true and when we see a studio that take advantage from some shippers (pyscho and creepy) yet they never call out them out i guess staying to stay on their good graces or maybe just using them as a tool. But i'm not here for that and i want to talk about how writers should take common sense yet constructive criticism which whenever a fan highlight the show's problems and ignore the story and want to focus on the ship itself that just gets out of control online while the writers being lunatics as they are with them.


A writer should accept the criticism of the show and look at the problem that they shouldn't be afraid and choose to ignore the problems and pretend it's fine, a writer can improve with the help of expert or soon to be writers themselves and dealing with criticism take time if they are being a freelancer, they should write down notes listen consider the source think big pay attention to what the people want embrace it and don't take it personally plus wait as well cause these are the strategies that the writer can do than just being on twitter or social media. I got this from writermag and paste the link on this post so feel free to look on it. Why not use a journal when watching tv and write down notes of what the characters say or do challenge yourself with twists and turns of what may happen to them. These things take time, and if you were to write a manuscript, preserve, and shave off the bits and pieces of it and if you were to write good dialogue that it gets interesting and it's being wonderful and focus on your strengths. I often want to listen and wait from a response if i'm working with someone on a project and writing down is something that i just do all the time and feeling like that it can help me while working a series or a movie even keep it together not mess up or a terrible story that gets in the way and people praise it to be online while behind close doors not everyone is impressed by it. 

Actually here's a few that i found, highlight read through the critique ask a editor to clarify remember the benefits and understand the motivation and perception of your criticizer.


Be a good listener when you are hearing feedback from the person that is giving you their criticism just say thank you and Ask questions to deconstruct the feedback and share your perspective. These are the easy tips when you are doing your work and not pandering either but care for the plot characters and fans too. 

Are you a writer looking for help or criticism so you can improve check out this link here and it can help you along the way.

Dreamworld


I never really really spoken much of this topic but i want to talk about something that is dreams whenever we dream of something before what is it we dream? 

It's a topic that i never really have thought about before but bear in mind that whenever we have a dream or memory of the past if it's our childhood. I came across this video but i'm not sure if anyone has before, after watching bedtime stories video call the nightmare and this sounds crazy tells of a men who kept dreaming of a airplane crash and doesn't know time and date of the event to happen. Not something that i ever came across or experience before but i get the feeling of waking up from a nightmare if it's the day before or after i witness before and when the moment that i saw before happens in reality i stop for a moment and wonder if something will happen however i would came across trouble and never realize it before i'm not sure why this video got me thinking i would ever experience something out of a supernatural or some matrix like feeling in the real world of witnessing a event but it's more of a dream or movie where you can't escape from it or can you? I know this isn't what i wrote, check out Dreamworld from Bedtime stories.

Listening to Music

Awhile ago i recall of enjoying an composer music and their work which was ones from John Debney who's work on Jimmy Neutron was nice even the ones that get very sweet and something that i can't help but like and enjoy but there is other ones that i can't help but remember and always have this quote inside of me that i want to say is when we listen to music we intend to feel relax and enjoy the feelings of it and nostalgia of memories that we had before. 


But remember Thomas Newman' work on Finding Nemo that was so beautifully made and you can't help but want to cry while listening to it but has cool and action music in it and also happy cheerful music. Or Vangelis work on Blade Runner that fits so well in the sci-fic genre and cyberpunk to it. I Can't help but enjoy listening to Memories of Green Rachel's theme Love Theme Blade Runner Blue and End Credits. There are so much that i can name of listening to music if it's our childhood the fun times i had before or perhaps anyone reading this who can't forget shows on nickelodeon and other kid program shows like Curious George it's wonderful music and Thomas the tank engine that were part of our childhood. I thought of writing this down as i look back at the past and think of the memories i had before and there isn't much but maybe i could write more down or update this one.

What i hate about fandoms

You know lately since the start of the internet and later forums we begin to talk about our favorite franchises that we hold heart on to ourselves but than comes when franchises get out of control and the people behind it don't do anything about it and just pander to the shippers that i swear to god are most toxic and bunch of spoil brats that never shut up. 

Fans on twitter are the ones that the worst who get so mad denied criticism and call any type of crticism as something use before and attack on women which is not the case but shipping is the worst from all of the way on tumblr that would spread it's toxicity on twitter facebook and instagram it's like the plague that and their ego who would attack anyone with a common sense of criticism in order to think that the show is alright and the fan's are the real problem well that's the way to make them anger and alienated the fanbase in general but what's also creepy is the kind of shipping. Toxicity Shipping Fan's ego are the worst in the fandom and confronting with them only for them to runaway and block people who are cowards and don't wanna face reality and part of their ego trust me i hate dealing with them whenever is a criticism of a show on boy they get really mad at me and to block me real nice of them. 

In today's age with toxic fandom on headline news that mention of a franchise and shows to also blame the fans which i really despise and i know there are people behind the scenes who are upset and want to call out toxicity too which i hope that time comes.
