New Discovery On Mars

This article claims a new Martian discovery will soon be revealed by NASA.

“It could be all kinds of things,” said Peter H. Smith, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona who was the principal investigator for NASA’s earlier Phoenix Mars mission but is not involved with Curiosity. “If it’s historic, I think it’s organics. That would be historic in my book.”

That NASA is being tight-lipped about it is not all that “exciting” to me. What’s exciting to NASA isn’t exactly big shakes to the rest of the population, IMHO (and I could very well be wrong…).

Why?

Cause we’re all looking for the discovery of alien ruins, fragments of C3PO, or a used Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator…not some perchlorate, or a whole, entire molecule of some “…carbon-based molecules known as organics…” in Martial soil.

We already know about the robot face (hmmm, images of which have curiously disappeared from the search engines…), Cydonia, and other conspiracies.

But then, a day later…NASA is already backpedaling. Okay, maybe not “historic”…just “interesting.”

Really? Over UFOs, ruins, and an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator?

C’mon, top those, NASA.

I’m a bit late in posting this, since it made the news on September 24th, but did want to post it anyway. A very interesting press conference—not to mention 1958 interview between Mike Wallace and Donald Keyhoe.

Egyptian Tech Hieroglyphics

A helicopter, stealth fighter, submarine, and an airplane are carved into stone at the ceiling of a 3000-year-old Egyptian Temple.  I’ve heard plenty about this over the years, but here is a recent photo (photo is at the bottom of the article) that shows what all the talk is about. Now, whether or not one chooses to believe the photo is undoctored, well, is a matter of personal preference, I suppose. But there it is. Read the article here.

Gets one to thinkin’, huh?

Cowboys & Aliens!

Loved this movie!

I’m not an aliens-taking-over-the-Earth kinda movie goin’ guy, but this movie is kick ass and well done! Has some great actors, an interesting plot, great actions scenes (even some “James Bondish” fight scenes, perhaps as a cool nod to our man, Craig…), and a great soundtrack. It’s a great western with aliens in it—something I’ve wondered about why hasn’t been done before, or done to this level. There’s also a surprisingly well-developed human understory to it that plays off a line the preacher character, Meacham (played by Clancy Brown), says, early in the movie. He said something like “I’ve seen good men do bad, and bad men do good.” He played an interesting, more “open minded” kinda preacher. Was really was impressed with the character.

Craig’s “Stranger” character, the Strong Silent Type, Man of Few Words, Mr. Action—well played. Loved the opening scene, which is your basic guy-wakes-up-in-the-middle-of-nowhere-and-doesn’t-know-shit-including-his-name-but-boy-can-he-kick-some-ass.

Did I mention how “kick ass” this movie was already?

Harrison Ford—he’s great in everything I’ve ever seen him in, and I’m glad to see him in another movie. He plays one complex, meaty, character. Very interesting. Also well played.

Others include the spoiled rich kid (Paul Dano), “Doc” (Sam Rockwell), the Sheriff (Keith Carradine), Nat (Adam Beach), and Ella (Olivia Wilde).

And the action in this movie was constantly frying-pan-into-the-fire. Kept ratcheting up the “Gee, what else could go wrong?” scenes.

I could go see this again.

If you get the option, pay the extra money to see it in a hyped-up Xtreme Digital screen, or whatever it’s called where you go catch your movies. We paid the extra cash, and enjoyed extra plush seats, extra sharp images, a depth of digital sound that was incredible, and a screen that was literally floor to ceiling. It’s worth it for a movie like this.

Another thing that made this film interesting to me, was that back in 2003, when I was pitching manuscripts to agents and editors and producers, I pitched Sleepwalkers as a possible graphic novel to Platinum Studios who was behind this movie. I don’t recall if the guy mentioned this movie by name, but I do remember the guy was very excited about the project, and mentioned it was really gonna be cool. So, I’ve been looking for this movie for eight years, and it was cool to finally see it come to the silver screen.

Cowboys & Aliens also has a cool website.

So, kick back, have a great time, and check out this flick!
