Black Patches In Lcd Tv

More signs of apocalisis: Rubik's Cube to Star Trek

spoiler warning: This article reveals several important aspects of the plot of the latest Star Trek movie (to call them that). Although this is done with obvious intent of public service, we are aware that there is much grumpy out there who do not appreciate these details. Are advised.

the other day I was watching television almost by accident, remnants of youth, more specifically the ads, which apparently is the only cast now, when I saw an advertisement for the famous Rubik's Cube, known hobby of the 80 apparently still being made. But better. As novelty is accompanied by the famous hub of a DVD with a video tutorial to learn how to "do it." The cube.
Apparently someone has forgotten marquetín the grace of the matter is to try to overcome the challenge without help. I still remember the hours I spent trying to do the damn cube. A so-called hobby, folks. I recognize that the end was unable, and after much I learned how to do it mechanically, using a method of circulating out there. But the hours of entertainment were there, and always had recognized that "trap." And cube still around in some drawer.

is the sign of the times, I fear. We live in a society that prefers and encourages the method for fools. As we are a little telos, something that should be, and we will not be able to do the cube, as we sell it with the video of how to do it. The first step in the bucket "virtual and interactive." And while we sell the work and effort are for Scoundrels, and if you are "cool" you get everything you want just because .... good, because you are cool .

And with that, surprisingly, we arrive at the new Star Trek generanción old.

acknowledge that I have nothing against the basic idea of \u200b\u200bthe project, brought to recover the first generation of Star Trek. It is the continuity reboot, using as excuse a ship returning from the future thereby changing history. Hmmm .... sounded better in my head ...
Man, this is the problem that the way has been "charged" Next Generation, Deep Spacio the Nine, the Voyager, comics and novels. But I have not seen most I've seen and I do not like too much and at least survives the series Enterprise, which was ok.

All this serves to screenwriters to do some spectacular things, like blow up the planet Vulcan, and other completely absurd, as leaving the Spock of the old continuity, and quite spoiled (the evergreen Nimoy) coexisting with the new reality itself. Go ahead I am not physically, but not just convinced me, really. I guess it sounded better in his head.

But we must recognize that neither the old movies were masterpieces of cinema. Significantly better yes, but also had their stuff. Survived, it's just admit it, by the charisma of the actors and characters, which I guess is the reason for now trying to recover, instead of moving forward. And this is where the new movie fails miserably.

characters of old films, they are people of a certain age, do not hesitate to reflect on what has cost them get where he is, his love of exploration and the hard life of the "ocean", acknowledging that his life is empty lot (family, friends, pets) and only feel alive while relmente take their place. It shows the appeal of adventure, but also the price and the time it cost them to get there.

The new old (or novejos) on the other hand are a bunch of dudes yelling and rude. Since we will not see Kirk served in several ships before taking the lead in the Enterprise. Now he delivers flagship Fleet, the most modern and fresh out of the yard, before you even leave the academy, after an absurd mission begins with a suspended Kirk sneaking a stowaway on the ship with a trick that is pointless and clumsily carried low success (blew up the planet Vulcan, uncles), and failing all orders, in what must be the thesis of Hollywood than it should be the good soldier century.

Oh, and the good of Spock, who suffers continuous attacks of rage during the movie (remember to Mister Furious, the Mystery Men?). Voluptuously surrenders his human side (he even gives a touch of Uhura, though that is what we understand) even before the influence Kirk can make a dent in it. Unless the glut could be considered influential, of course.

is not just that it's a bad movie, or retroacabe with years of work of many people. The problem is the message we send, which is true science-fiction issue. Clearly tells us that the effort and responsible behavior (or merely civilized) is not the best way to achieve results in this life.
would not cause confusion among readers, if any, that you got here. When I talk about effort and responsible behavior, of sacrifice, I'm not talking about morality. Could it be that the Godfather Corleone was not a hard worker and responsible, in pursuit of their goals? Or James Moriarty?

But today we can not expect much even the villains, the truth, not even the real life. I have some curiosity to see who is the younger generation (and now I am not referring to Star Trek) educated in such ideals of non-effort, and how they fare in life, but we started to see results, not are precisely Algueña.

the time you come back to watch a movie that required a certain effort, and it was not just a succession of brilliant images and meaningless?

I hope that happens in my time in this world. Meanwhile

can see Naruto, which is one of fighting. Although now that I think are over three hundred episodes and characters are growing and evolving. Do not give as laziness?
