Not to mention Andy Garcia being nothing more than Andy Garcia, Joe Pantanglio, Eli Wallach, Talia Shire in a strangely awful performance (she's not a bad actress at all, but whatever happened here?). He looked, and acted, too much like Al Pacino. Obviously the character is not the same man that he used to be, but I never once really believed that I was watching Michael Corleone. He's a great actor, and this is as fine a performance as any other he's made, but when you consider how truly versatile Pacino can be (compare Godfather part II with Scarface, with Serpico, Devil's Advocate, you name it, he's right there in character) its a disappointment that the aged Michael Corleone has turned into. And while everybody seems to just automatically praise Pacino because, well, he's Pacino I don't think his performance in this film is particularly good either, at least not by his merits. But the script really is a long filler-session. Where does his search for redemption lead him? Do "they" really pull him in again? Does his character do or say anything really memorable? Once or twice. Its not unreasonable to say he did that at the end of Part II already. The plot is underdeveloped and not engaging - Michael Corleone suffers from guilt. (Excluded passage due to word limit concerning how Coppola did the film for the money, and that it actually makes the film a little easier to appreciate) I think the film really, on a whole, is perhaps not 'bad', certainly not horrible, but definitely a failure. Sure, its not as good as the first two but not many movies are!" Later in life, presumably with heightened standards and a better sense of criticism, I started to suspect that the opposite could be true - that part III was really nowhere near as good as I'd recall - and after seeing all three films pretty much back to back I have to be honest (an approach I think wouldn't hurt the more enthusiastic defenders of this film) and conclude that The Godfather Part III, despite certain qualities, simply doesn't work. ![]() ![]() So for a long time I was one of those guys going "Hey, Godfather part III isn't as bad as everyone says. (Not even, I might add, the notorious Sofia Coppola she's bad, but her performance is benefited by the character she's playing, which is also weak). Being an optimistic fellow I wanted to enjoy The Godfather Part III the first time I saw it - this was easy, since its a competent piece of film making, generally well paced, acted, it's coherent, Al Pacino's in it, Coppola has made this film from A to Z and on its own terms the film doesn't have any inexcusable flaws. ![]() The cookie is set by the GDPR Cookie Consent plugin and is used to store whether or not user has consented to the use of cookies.

![]() And Dan moves closer and closer, until he dissolves into this older man. A fight between the two of them leaves the older man standing. The reader witnesses Dan going through a recurring nightmare. ![]() ![]() Here we are more properly introduced to Socrates. It’s only a brief encounter at 3:20 am, but we’ll have many more nocturnal encounters.īefore even getting into chapter 1, there is a section called The Gas Station at Rainbow’s End. But a modern version – he owns an all night gas station, but he’s not your usual gas station attendant. In the Preface, we are introduced to the main character, Dan, a college student and an acclaimed gymnast. Even the worst of traumas can be purposeful if we find a way to learn from them and fill ourselves back up with wonder after we’ve been broken. The things that empty us become our guidebooks and maps. The things that change us become our teachers. I’d like to write a bit about each chapter in one post a week, starting with the Preface: Still, the movie is great, and I also recommend that, too. I saw the movie, but now that I’m reading the book, I find the book so much better in the way that books are always so much better. Peaceful Warrior (2006) – Official Trailer And when you do, you'll be free at last.I first came upon Way of the Peaceful Warrior as a movie recommended by our own Jan Carol. "Words mean little unless you realize the truth of it yourself. And who needs it?" Socrates leaned back into his chair. The mind - your ego, personal beliefs, history, and identity - is all that ends at death. The body is in Consciousness never born never dies only changes. You have been immortal since before you were born and will be long after the body dissolves. Immortality is Already yours, but not in the same way you imagined or hope for. When you relax mindless into the body, you are happy and content and free, sensing no separation. That is what your visions revealed to you. You are the body, but you are everything else, too. And you Are that Consciousness - no the phantom mind that troubles you so. Consciousness is not In the body the body is In Consciousness. "That's exactly what it is, Dan - a thought - no more real than the shadow of a shadow. Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives This is why I am a humorous fool, and you are a serious jackass.” Your understanding is based on ignorance. "My ignorance is based on this understanding. In fact, you have no knowledge of where anything is or of What anything is or how is came to be. You are ignorant of where the universe is, and thus, where you are. You cannot answer it, and you never will. "The universe is well, there are theories about how it's shaped." "And where," Socrates smiled, "is the universe?" "In the universe." I sat back and crossed my arms with finality. "Oh, brother, " I sighed impatiently, rolling my eyes. The sun is a small star in the Milky Way galaxy, all right?" "In the solar system, third planet from the sun. "On a landmass, one of the continents in the Western Hemisphere. "In this office, in this gas station!" I was getting impatient with this game. "Yes I did, remember? I told you how I got to where I am today: by hard work." "But you still have not answered my question about where you are." He listened patiently and intently, as if he had all the time in the world, until I finished several hours later. Still, I told him about my distant and recent past and about my inexplicable depressions. However, I noticed that I was still being sidetracked from getting answers to my questions. “.he asked, "Where are you today, right now?"Įagerly, I started talking about myself. ![]() (There is a sequel to Howl's Moving Castle Castle in the Air. If you are a Miyazaki fan, hie thee to a library or bookstore try Ms Jones' books. ![]() This is a few words of movie music: simple, deceptive, cool, just right. This is a movie you can watch online with any crowd of people, and everyone will enjoy it at least a little. Now is a great time, as many of his films are available on home DVD. It is my favorite fantasy movie because parts felt very similar to my life experience. Then, if you are a Diana Wynne Jones fan, check out the rest of Miyazaki's films. The movie follows Sophie as she fins her life thrown into turmoil when she is swept off her geet by a handsome but mysterious wizard named Howl & embarks on. (I did miss the 7-league boots) My advice: go see the movie. Fairfax are also missing, but elements of each are woven into other characters in the movie Michael (Markl) is a different age The battles magical and military are quite different (but equally spectacular) The dog appears at a different time, with a different, yet just as mysterious, agenda The scarecrow's relationship with Sophie is different Thelevel of technology is different. I've tried to phrase them carefully to avoid spoilers for either fans of Ms Jones's work who have yet to see the movie, and those who have seen the movie and have yet to read the book: Why the witch bespells Sophie Where the door opens when the dial points to black Sophie's sister Martha, and the plot line involving sister Lettie are not in the movie Mrs. Sophie, a quiet girl working in a hat shop, finds her life thrown into turmoil when she is literally swept off her. ![]() For those who wonder, here are the differences between the movie and the novel. Much like the 2004 version of Peter Pan much was changed, but the soul is the same. ![]() Think of it as the Series 12C version (for those who have read Ms Jones' Chrestomanci books.) The main elements are there, some re-arranged, some changed, yet with a full understanding of the original. The soul of the story is intact, Sophie and Howl and Calcifer are nearly as I imagined them. I began to pace the floor in anticipation of the movie. His movies share a lot with her novels a whimsical sense of humor, impossible to pigeonhole into a category, magic and mischief, and a firm respect for the audience's intelligence. Then I saw Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, The Cat Returns, and Kiki's Delivery Service. I really wondered how it would all come out translated into Japanese. This story (as all of her stories) revels in word play. Ms Jones refuses to allow her imagination be neatly pigeonholed as hard sci-fi or straight fantasy, juvenile or adult. Howls Moving Castle Synopsis: Watch Streaming Howls Moving Castle 301 Moved301 MovedThe document has movedhere. The book (one of my very favorites, which I re-read at least once a year) takes several fairy-tale conventions and merrily turns them upside down. So, are you ready to soar with porcine pilot Porco Rosso or join Totoro and his forest-dwelling friends? Then we’ll break down for you where to watch Studio Ghibli content based on your location, and let you enjoy some of the finest anime cinema has to offer - including how to watch Earwig and The Witch online, which is the legendary outfit's latest release and still in theaters in many countries.When I read some four years ago that Diana Wynne Jones had sold the rights for Howl's Moving Castle to a Japanese animator, I wondered. Four years later, Spirited Away received the Best Animated Feature at the Oscars while also knocking Titanic from the top spot of Japan’s highest-ever grossing film. Princess Mononoke won Japan’s Best Picture award in 1997, and was the first animated film to do so.

Reddit users came through to give him some tips, while others just wanted to give him props for his gaming commitment. The details of what has happened to his world within the game is interesting, but he has a problem: only his empire, and two others, are still around, and they're locked in perpetual war for 2,000 gaming years, with no end in sight. The world is a hellish nightmare of suffering and devastation. Naturally I play other games and have a life, but I often return to this game when I’m not doing anything and carry on. I then thought that it might be interesting to see just how far into the future I could get and see what the ramifications would be. Though long outdated, I grew fascinated with this particular game because by the time Civ III was released, I was already well into the distant future. I’ve been playing the same game of Civ II for 10 years. Reddit user Lycerius had been playing the same game of Civilization II for 10 years (impressive!) just to see how far he could go, and he made it to the year 3991 AD. The Civilization series of video games lets you build an empire, starting in the year 4000 BC, and lets you see how long you can make that empire last (it can stretch far into the future). So far, the glitch has been acknowledged and "The Button" is still going strong. Most recently, a technical glitch did cause the button to reach zero faster, with nothing happening when it did. Users who press the button just after the clock resets get purple or blue flair, while those who wait for the counter to tick away get orange, yellow, or red flair. What makes it more interesting is that redditors who press the button at different times get different kinds of flair (badges that appear next to their username). ![]() If you have the option to press the button, you can only do it once. (I captured the GIF above, which just happened to reach "24 seconds," the lowest I've seen yet. What happens then? No one knows, except whoever put this together.
