When you can't even properly spell out a common name, you know there's something wrong in your gene pool...

So, naturally (or unnaturally, as it is, really) you will want to fix things... Artificially. Hey - there's "art" in artificial! Sure...
What could go better together though than vain people and plastic surgery? The two go hand in hand as... a horse and carriage... love and marriage... and divorce and re-marriage! *LOL* Deano must be tossing and turning in his grave - then again, maybe he's not... But I digress...

From that awful "catwoman" (the real life one - who had so much plastic surgery work done over the years, all in the hopes of LOOKING LIKE A FELINE!) to these Gennifer Flowers (Jee... I can't spell either when I look at pictures of her... BEFORE... and especially AFTER! YIKES!!!) the deal seems that it is estimated to be "better" and preferable to look like a PLASTIC FREAK than to look old, aging gracefully to the grace of God and simply showing the passing of time and hopefully the evidence of acquired wisdom with the years... Alas, the truth is that these vain people have not acquired any wisodm at all with the years - only more foolishness! As in that foolish idea that "a little nip and tuck here and there" every decade or so will win the battle against NATURE... Why not hope against hope that your very evidently queer plastic surgeon and esthetician will make you immortal while they're at it? We know already that the breast implants will remain when everything else turns to dust - why not plastify the rest now, eh? So that the future generations can see for themselves how freakish you looked in your older days, trying to beat back the aging process...

It is the most pathetic thing I have ever seen! And I was unfortunate enough to see a lot of pathetic things over the years... I was also unfortunate enough to catch the E.T. report on Genni's latest "tiny bit of nip and tuck" - and it was downright traumatizing! YEOWTCH! She was horribly puffed up after that bit of "routine surgery" as it was said to be for her so obviously gay doctor - I thought it might be her alleged acting talent that she was about to put on display for E.T. viewers - and this was really not surgery but some Star Trek make-up session or, at best, prepping up for a horror film!
For those of you still scratching their heads and going "who in blue blazes is Gennifer Flowers?" - she used to be the most elegant and best-looking of the infamous "Bill Clinton women" - but now... sheesh! Bill would run the other way screaming! Or... he would not! But that is not important right now... Genni seems to think that Billy boy is not good enough for her anymore either - she candidly stated that "he's aged. He needs a little job done on the neck... the nose... the eyes..."
Sheesh - the Body Snatchers have landed and want to transform every single one of us into their weird kind - the plastic outlandishness prone kind! Run - run while you can! You're next! You're next!!!

The highest reaches of the absurd are reached when Genni here announces that she is going under the knife again because she wants to be confident when she goes out there to "find (her) soul mate"! Even worse, she wants to help others (superficial people like her, I'm sure) find their own soulmates by creating her own website for dating and more... Will she match patients and plastic surgeons too? Time will tell... but wait, TIME is an enemy! There's always more nipping and tucking to do - so all will have the typical fairy tale ending - right? Only this one will come in a plastic wrapping.
Life isn't a movie though - that simple truth seems to be eluding Genni's grasp as she continues to chase the dream to "look young"... forevermore? Dream on, girl! She was moving, I must admit (or was it her acting talent finally showing through?) when she stated, upon entering the limo for her ride to the umpteenth "nip and tuck session" of her life, that she feared only to go to sleep on the operating table - and not to wake. Why, pray tell? Death will solutionize your problem with aging, darling! And one less superficial person on the planet will hardly be noticeable at all - there are zillions like you now! Maybe it is just me - but I see no point in fearing the reaper. Hasn't anybody learned the lesson taught so succinctly by the Blue Oyster Club yet?!? (No, wise guy; not the song about Gojira!)

Oh - as for the New York catwoman (aka socialite Jocelyne Wildenstein - she bears her name well) she will settle for Sylvester, Garfield or even Heathcliff, but only if they have extensive surgery done first...

Summer of the Ominous Ubermensch - yeah, that is coded too, Mr. Brown! Try figuring out that one!

And, by the way, let it known here and now that "Mr. Brown" was always my least favorite Reservoir Dog...!

Now, onwards to 20th Century Fox bashing... Since they're out of sync with the times anyway - right? That is always good enough reason for clueless, bubble-headed, numb-skulled hip young hoes to show their most disagreeable side... Hmm? And my other beast of burden today, Warner Bros., is equally out on a loop in time and never to get out of it because time is so very short now... But that is another story!

Ludicrous movies and wastes of celluloid are a dime-a-dozen in Tinseltown (just look at how many Clerks movies they've done already - and every single Owen Wilson vehicle there ever was! Same goes -double- for Adam Sandler...) - BUT THIS SUMMER IS TAKING ITS TOLL NOW!

Fox thought itself to be wily (as far as corporate entities go) by remaking THE OMEN this year and releasing the rehash (complete with Lee Remick wanna-bee Julia Stiles and Rosemary herself as the Nanny From Hell) on the fatuous date of 06/06/06! It seems to have worn off real quick, has it not? Just like the execrable Da Vinci Code, released into theaters with great fanfare, and now... where is it now?!? This mystery is not half as hard to decipher as the coded reasons -coded into human DNA they are- as to the why and how that people fall for such CRAP... But I digress again!

Alas, when some crap disappears from the box-office top sucker-catchers, another few come in to replace them for the duration of the 'hot season'... "Superman Returns" for instance. (And its companion film - that EX-Super Girlfriend" thing...!) What is this crap? Nitwits such as Thurisa Quinn (Thurisaaaahhh - Duhhh!) do not see the "messiahfication" of that pathetic third-rate Samson with a cape RIP-OFF created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster... But most everyone else does, if only subconsciously! Morons such as Bob Costas are ready and willing to even deify a ghastly-looking goofball who dresses like a vampire bat... And he will, likewise, bow before the four-color, imaginary magnificence of a "son of krypton"! What - am I the only one to see that the mere expression "son of krypton" should be interpreted as an INSULT? It's like saying "you - you're a son of methane!" or "why, you, son of radon!" - SEE WHAT I MEAN??? Your biased idiocy makes me sick, Bobs, Boobies and Boogers of the world!

"Superman Returns" was not awaited by anyone - it sure as heck was not by MOI! What is expected is something REAL. Someone's whose return will TRULY MEAN SOMETHING - and that, sure as hell will burn most of you to a crisp over and over again, is NOT "Sooper-dooper-Mannnn"! I will give you a hint: He bears a composite name! Oh - you guessed it! Even brainless dweebs can summon forth something from the deepest reaches of their craniums - when they try! AYE - IT IS JESUS-CHRIST! Who will herald the movie "Jesus-Christ Returns" when it hits the screens, eh? (And, hopefully, shortly after the movie's release, we will get the real thing too!)
I will be awaiting my chance to see this one! Especially since an acquaintance of mine will be doing it - Johanne Cardin. Prepare to be truly astounded when THAT film comes out! Nothing like it was ever done; not the cheap "Left Behind" films or the pathetic productions those evangelist siblings named Peter and Paul (!) tried to release and "put out there"... It will not be a film about some lookalike with little except a superficial resemblance to Christ (Qui-Gon) taking a fall before an adversary bearing more than a coincidental resemblance to the devil (Darth Maul) and bearing a name (Jinn) that would have been worn better by said adversary! Damn you, George Lucas, for doing that thinly-veiled parody of the final battle! It completely blew by the imbeciles such as Thuuuuh-risaaaaah - but that was expected!

Ironically, an assortment of witches damned the director of OMEN III: THE FINAL CONFLICT for their "controversial ending" to that one... Let's see now; the evil is destroyed at long last and Good prevails. No wonder witches didn't like that one! They loved Lucas' 1999 Star Wars installment, I'm sure though... And witches will still claim that they do not worship the devil nor do they root for "evil"... Their definition of "evil" seems to be "to simply be misunderstood" - well, then, prepared to be misunderstood all the way to the PIT - b-witches! What the hell (...) did they want the OMEN to finish up with? The antichrist triumphant? They actually picketed outside of 20th Century Fox back then, to protest the ending! They mostly did not appreciate the bits of scripture that appeared on the screen - nor did they expect a cameo by Christ Himself! Me, I would have protested too - but because Jesus-Christ should have had a much better role in the end of that film! All throughout the film, the antichrist taunts He Who Is his true rival - and anti knows it! Only Christ - the Nazarene as he calls Him - truly Can defeat him! And yet - the movie shows not that in the end at all! He dies from wounds he suffered at the hands of a bimbo woman who actually fell for his seductive tricks earlier in the flick (otherwise luminous actress Lisa Harrow - a New Zealand ntive just like the actor who played the antichrist, aka Damien Thorn, Sam Neill, way before his dinosaur-battling days in a certain park... Ironic to know that it was James Mason who PAID for Neill's airfare so that he could audition for this role - the same Mason who was one of two Jews who "took Jesus' side and defense" at the Sanhedrin, in the classic Zeffireli film JESUS OF NAZARETH - one of miss Cardin's favorites too! And mine! Here's hoping she gets some of that feeling from said classic in her film too...!)

Suffice it to say, JESUS-CHRIST should have had a much larger role in OMEN III - for it is said that only GOD Will snuff out the life of the antichrist, by suffocating him, up in the air! Thurisahhhhhhh will be justified in going then "oh - look, in the air! It's a bird! It's a plane! No it's..." But I digress!

Verily, for now, still to this day, those mere few minutes of screen time at the end of OMEN III are the ONLY FILMED VERSION OF THE MUCH-AWAITED RETURN OF CHRIST! The only true Saviour for this piece of junk planet is Christ - not the "man of steel, rust and papier maché"!!! TRUST ME ON THAT ONE! And it is time it sinks in now - the muslims know He's coming back. The Jews want their Messiah too... Only Westerners, who are nevertheless labeled as "Christians" by the Islamic world, seem to doubt that He's Coming Back!!! UNBELIEVABLE!

We all just wait and see - and, once He's Returned (CHRIST - NOT SOME WYLIEAN GLADIATOR IN A CAPE!) we will all see what He Is About to do... Ok?
Goodie! :)

On This Date... In Literary History! (For starters...)

July 18th, 1925: Seven months after he was released from jail, Nazi leader Adolf Hitler published the first volume of his personal manifesto, Mein Kampf.
July 18th is also the birthdate of eccentric author Hunter S. Thompson (in 1937) whose gonzo journalism writing style is often imitated and seldom replicated (which one do I usually do? YOU tell me...!) *LOL* ;)

My - imagine that! Thompson was only two years-old, hence, when Hitler got the ball rrrreally rolling... Killing millions and millions in the process.

Also happening in 1939, on a July 18th: MGM had a sneak preview of The Wizard of Oz after which producers debated about removing one of the songs because it seemed to slow things down. They finally decided to leave it in. The song: Over the Rainbow.

Over The Rainbow did not slow down the Aryan juggernaut that year - nor did it stop the Holocaust from happening with its touching sound and lyrics...
More casualties of a July 18th:
1969: A car driven by Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., plunged into a pond on Chappaquiddick Island, Mass., killing his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne.
2003: British scientist David Kelly, a government adviser and former weapons inspector in Iraq, was found dead, an apparent suicide.

We can take comfort that, after all the killings, after all the storms, there is usually much-needed calm (granted, only until the NEXT storm...)
Calm and some retribution as well...
July 18th, 1977 -after all that went on there - Vietnam was admitted to the United Nations.
And, also on a July 18th, in 2005 this time, Eric Rudolph was sentenced to two life terms for a deadly 1998 bombing at an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama. He also faced later sentencing in Atlanta for bombings at the 1996 Olympics and two other sites.
