John Tai’s Neighborhood

Saturday night I experienced the awesomeness that is Zombieland. This
movie was hilarious. The guest cameo was perfect for the movie. The
main character was channeling Michael Sera, and doing a good job of it.
It makes me wonder if they actually wanted him for the role but he
turned it down. Woody Harrelson pulled off the role perfectly. Great
movie. Not for young audiences due to sci-fi/horror violence and
language.

Before Zombieland we were graced with the preview for 2012. At ten
seconds into the preview I broke out into uncontrollable laughter. A
few seconds later someone else shouted out "oh, come on!" The preview
is completely silly and does nothing to make me want to see the movie.
It actually had the opposite effect. Who approved this preview? Who
approved the scenes from the preview in the movie? This one is going to
bomb badly in the theatres.

Go forth and fill your libraries with media.

Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.

I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.

I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.

Cheers,

About a year ago a friend of mine that loved Buffy, let me borrow season 1 after finding out that I had never watched the show.  Yeah, I, the geek, had never seen Buffy.  It was obviously love at first sight.  I watched the entire series in less than 6 months.  This made me wonder what other shows that I missed that I should reconsider in the age of Hulu.

Babylon 5 was the next show I have started on.  Seasons 1 and 2 are on Hulu and my friends had all raved about how good the show was.  It was harder to get into because the entire show seems to be one huge story arc.  I haven’t finished the show yet.  I am only midway through the third season.  The show is truly good and I am glad that I am watching it now as I think I am at a better place to understand and appreciate this show. 

If you missed B5 the first time around, check out the first two seasons on Hulu.  Power through the bad CG and the first couple of episodes.  They are developing characters and creating an intricate plot.  I don’t say this lightly, but what I have seen, blows Buffy away.  Seriously, check it out.

Took the girls to radnor lake this weekend to enjoy the fall colors and natural cool temperatures.  We did a hike of around 2.5 miles and took some pictures.

This seems to be what human social interaction boils down to. We always
have to have an enemy. It is kind of strange. I think who we choose to
be our enemy is in who we define ourselves as.

In today's world of America wanting to be the rest of the world and the
rest of the world wanting to be better than us, the initial
identification of most Americans is not that of being American. We tend
to categorize ourselves and each other by political affiliation. Gone
are the days when it was okay for John to be a Democrat because he still
hated the commies. Without a common enemy, our country is dividing
itself.

When was the last time someone fought a war just to conquer lands and
make themselves god emperor. Now people fight for "reasons." People
fight for religion mostly and a lot of times because the have always
fought (insert name of random group here). In Israel it is weird
because the war wasn't necessarily about religion to start with, but was
made that way really quickly. Why? That was a major difference and the
easiest way to differentiate between the two groups.

So, America is dividing itself into red and blue and will soon devolve
into Drazi like fighting. It is silly, but as humans, we need a common
enemy to keep from making enemies of each other. Only now it isn't PC
to have enemies.

Orange, Orange, Orange, Orange!!!!!!!

Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.

We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for being so patient.
