    Three days, three teams out. This time, it's the San Francisco Giants. Maybe if they showed pride in their playing instead of protesting Pride Night?

  3. Steven Soderbergh – „Liberace – Zu viel des Guten ist wundervoll“ (2013)

    Wenn schon Vegas, dann aber richtig! Steven Soderbergh kehrt ein paar Jahre nach „Ocean’s 11/12/13“ zurück und dreht den Wahnsinn noch ein paar Umdrehungen weiter. Dass dabei ein hochdramatisches, queeres Biopic entstanden ist, war für mich damals eine echte Überraschung. Tatsächlich erzählt Soderbergh von einer Kultur, die sich in den USA längst eigene Räume, eigene Regeln und eigene Formen der Sichtbarkeit geschaffen hatte und trotzdem immer noch gezwungen war, ihre Existenz vor der Mehrheitsgesellschaft zu verbergen. Mit Michael Douglas, Matt Damon, Rob Lowe und Dan Aykroyd. (ZDF, Wh.)

  15. A Look Back at X-Men 2099 #2 (1993)

    Disclaimer: This is my original work with details sourced from reading the comic book and doing personal research. Anyone who wants to use this article, in part or in whole, needs to secure first my permission and agree to cite me as the source and author. Let it be known that any unauthorized use of this article will constrain the author to pursue the remedies under R.A. No. 8293, the Revised Penal Code, and/or all applicable legal actions under the laws of the Philippines.

    Welcome back, superhero enthusiasts, 1990s culture enthusiasts, X-Men fans and comic book collectors! Today we revisit the Marvel Comics shared universe to examine one of the many tales of the X-Men 2099 monthly series.  

    Way back in 1993, I had a fun reading X-Men 2099 #1 as soon as it was released in the local comic book specialty store here in the Philippines. Back then, I was already into the 30th anniversary celebration of the X-Men while also reading more comic books about Marvel’s science fiction 2099 franchise of comic books. I love the way X-Men 2099 #1 ended as it was a powerful way of building up the tension and excitement that comes with waiting another 30 days for issue #2 to come out.

    With those details laid down, here is a look back at X-Men 2099 #2, published by Marvel Comics in 1993 with a story written by John Francis Moore and drawn by Ron Lim.

    The cover.

    Early story

    The story begins with the X-Men desperately trying to escape as the arcology has been invaded by enforcers (also referred to as the Greater Nevada Syndicate) of the Synge casino. Their leader Xi’an is in critical condition after getting shot during an assassination attempt that happened moments earlier. The X-Men are inside their van speeding away and Meanstreak (Henri Huang) uses his super speed to run ahead of them to quickly check what awaits them all. During the ride, Krystalin learned of the news that Noah Synge has died and Xi’an has been blamed for murder. Cerebra confirmed that Xi’an expressed hatred towards Synge.

    When the van finally reaches the outdoor area, the X-Men find themselves facing a large tank and a helicopter of the syndicate which anticipated their arrival. The syndicate tells them to surrender Xi’an…

    Quality

    Cerebra shows their leader Xi’an with a biological cocoon forming over his body. Pay attention to the details.

    As a follow-up to the impressive first issue, this one remains a very good read after all these decades. It is clear to me that John Francis Moore had carefully planned an engaging tale of the futuristic X-Men with Tim Fitzgerald (who will later be called Skullfire) as the symbolic reflection of the readers who get to discover more about the team, the situation they are in and why they exist in the first place.

    As expected, the creative stuff that started in issue #1 progressed naturally as the story went on in this comic book. The X-Men of 2099 got away to find safety and get themselves organized as their leader remains in critical condition. Along the way, the syndicate itself gets adjusted as it has the son and daughter of Noah Synge taking over their evil empire suddenly. The syndicate is responsible for seven deaths, the wounding of nineteen people and the capture of over forty people as a result of their sudden invasion of the arcology and their attempt to assassinate Xi’an in retaliation of the death of Noah Synge. This was the creative duo’s way of telling readers who the bad guys are and why the X-Men are at a great disadvantage.

    What I find engaging here is how the Moore-Lim duo emphasized Xi’an’s significance through flashbacks and background details (which further revealed more of the founding of the futuristic X-Men). This creative gamble worked wonders and clearly more than made up for the lack of dialogue and interactions from the X-Men’s leader. At the same time, the narrative has this flavor of conspiracy when the Synge empire was emphasized.

    Conclusion

    The futuristic X-Men encounter strong opposition from the syndicate.

    X-Men 2099 #2 (1993) is clearly a very good read. As a follow-up to the very solid issue #1, it added to the build-up emphasizing the futuristic X-Men a lot more while still having enough room to develop the Synge empire and its syndicate. Along the way there were some nice pay-offs to certain build-ups in issue #1 and there was a fine balance between action scenes and the plot/character development scenes. That said, this comic book is a solid bridge between issue #1 and the conclusion in issue #3.

    Overall, X-Men 2099 #2 (1993) is highly recommended.

  16. What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 150

    Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

    Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

    I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

    #1 You, Me and the Movies React to Cloak & Dagger (1984) – As some of you readers might know already, I enjoyed the 1984 movie Cloak & Dagger (starring Henry Thomas) and I also liked playing the arcade game that appeared in it as a fictional Atari 5200 game. When it comes to retro gaming, the film strongly resonates with gamers who were old enough to have seen it and played games related with Atari on console and arcades in the 1980s. As such, it is not surprising to see that there are pretty few movie reaction videos of Cloak & Dagger on YouTube. To my personal delight, You, Me and the Movies posted a reaction video of the film and it is entertaining to watch!

    https://youtu.be/O7mAIC4nVRg?si=DBgTYmg9yZztUCDO

    #2 Minty Comedic Arts’ Exclusive Interview with Superboy TV star Gerard Christopher – If you were old enough to have seen the live-action Superboy series on TV a long time ago, you would remember that actor Gerard Christopher replaced John Newton as the star. Recently, Minty Comedic Arts posted his exclusive interview with Christopher (who played Superboy in over 70 episodes) and it is not just fun to watch but also surprising and insightful. At the same time, there is a lot to learn and discover from what Gerard Christopher revealed. That said, I encourage you to watch the video below.

    https://youtu.be/lG0O5hsPNso?si=GZKJXCIRfTtt5o7S

    #3 Yakisoba in Aichi Prefecture, Japan – I enjoy the taste of Yakisoba which is Japanese noodle stir-fried dish and it is often available in Japanese restaurants in the land of the rising sun as well in other parts of the world. In Aichi Prefecture, there is a family-owned restaurant that specializes in yakisoba. The dedicated cooking, careful processes and sound business management the food joint achieved resulted in a loyal customer base. There is a lot to learn and enjoy from the video below.

    https://youtu.be/7ci-UXm0mgQ?si=F9w-qcbusnhWSteg

    #4 Street Fighter II Is Unfair to Gamers? – Here is something that must be seen. Remember how intensely popular Street Fighter II and its updated versions were back in the 1990s? The original arcade game of Street Fighter II revolutionized fighting games and turned it into a wildly popular genre for both gamers and game companies. Still, there is something about the artificial intelligence (AI) in Street Fighter II that makes it “cheat” which resulted in a lot of frustrating experiences for those who played it. Did Capcom’s game developers deliberately set something up? Watch and learn from the video below.

    https://youtu.be/_Roe54EGW08?si=Sw8ZcyQa2nAQhao9

    #5 The Death of Criticism with Spider-Man: Brand New Day – Let me ask you this…if the so-called professional movie critics and online influencers unanimously give high praise to a big-budget movie designed to make a lot of money, do you let the critical acclaim influence you into watching it and adjusting your personal standards on judging new movies? In his recent video, Ranting for Vengeance shared a warning about the death of criticism over Spider-Man: Brand New Day which opened with massive commercial success backed with acclaim from the media and a variety of personalities online. By today’s standards, there are many millions of people who got oriented with Spider-Man without ever reading the classic comic books, and there are those who use Spider-Man movies as their main references. What is telling, however, is how some people lowered their standards on judging new movies as a whole. To learn more, watch Ranting with Vengeance’s video below and pay attention to the details.

    #6 Assorted Casino (1995) Reaction Videos – I missed out on Martin Scorsese’s 1995 film Casino during its theatrical run and I saw it on home video some years later. Loosely based on real-life events that happened in Las Vegas, the movie was very good with its presentation and the stylized approach on explaining the details regarding casinos and related businesses controlled by criminals. As such, it is not surprising that a lot of movie reaction videos of it were posted on YouTube and I found the most entertaining ones among them for you all to enjoy.

    #7 Game Developers Who Went Woke And Ruined The Gaming Industry – I have been playing video games since I was a little boy. This current console gaming generation has been very disappointing and I can say that it is very disgusting that state of gaming deteriorated a lot over the past several years as many game developers hired Leftist activists (the woke, transgendered, social justice warriors, LGBTQ extremists, rabid feminists, racist minority members and other undesirable people) and let them make new video games that reflected their ugly agenda. Very recently, the very woke Halo Studios got away with ruining Halo with the release of Halo: Campaign Evolved. The wokeness of gaming started many years ago and its disease grew a lot through the years. As such, the woke and Leftists working in video games clearly do not care about making video games fun and they do not care about gamers in general. To understand the wokeness and the Satanic Left’s agenda through gaming, watch the video below.

    #8 Tempura Onigiri and More in Japan – Recently in Japan, a new form of onigiri with tempura was released and it is gaining popularity with customers. Not only that, newer types of onigiri were being offered to customers as a result of unpredictable market forces, experimentation and the changing tastes of the customers. There is a lot to discover in the Nippon TV, and it just make you crave for onigiri.

  18. Here’s why Black Hat meeting pitches are almost always doomed with me

    My seventh year of Black Hat is in the books, and once again I fought a losing battle with my own schedule. Which I would have lost by a much larger margin if I’d accepted more than a tiny fraction of the meeting requests I’d gotten from PR reps for various information-security companies exhibiting at that conference.

    This collective quest for my in-person presence seems to happen every year with Black Hat (see also: CES), regardless of whom I’m writing for or how recently I’ve done any extended writing on infosec. I have to assume that it must work for some journalists and companies, but it almost never does for me.

    First, there’s the onstage content of Black Hat: Most large conferences feature a lengthy series of panels, but Black Hat’s tend to be much more info-rich. That makes them easier to turn into posts and therefore into money–when I can find time to write.

    Second, there’s the short duration of this event: After some opening pleasantries on a Tuesday afternoon and evening, everything is crammed into Wednesday and Thursday.

    Third, this year’s edition of Black Hat gave me even less free time than usual because I was bouncing between that conference and another about two miles north on the Strip–Ai4, which ran from Tuesday through Thursday at the Venetian and paid me to moderate one panel Tuesday and another Thursday.

    And some publicists compound their clients’ problems when they wait until the run-up to Black Hat to try to introduce me to these companies instead of picking almost any other time of the year besides (ugh) CES Advent.

    Three weeks ago, I felt compelled to vent on LinkedIn: “PR friends, can y’all please explain this obsession with booking meetings at Black Hat? The conference only runs two days and change, with more than 100 generally info-dense talks and presentations filling the schedule Wednesday and Thursday while we’re also supposed to be writing and filing copy. How much free time do your clients think journalists have there?”

    The replies I got were more enlightening than I perhaps deserved. To paraphrase a few:

    • Well, some journalists do take meetings, so we have to ask.
    • Developing one-on-one connections means a lot to us.
    • Some of our clients insist on this, even if we tell them it’s a bad tactic.
    • You can always say no.

    About that last one: It is true that I can always reply to a PR pitch to say “sorry, no interest” and maybe even say why. But then I would spend a large fraction of my workdays doing just that–and no, I don’t trust Gemini, or at least the implementation of that AI service in the Google Workspace version of Gmail that I pay for, to send those replies for me. Sorry, but the lack of a reply remains the reply.

    And as I noted at the start of this post, I did accept a few meeting requests. All but one had one thing in common: They were for events in the evening. (I would have accepted breakfast invites too, but nobody sent me any.) Everybody has to eat, and while Black Hat provides a wealth of exhibitor-subsidized dining options, ones that allowed me to have a useful conversation with somebody at a company of interest got my attention over others.

    (Free advice to companies looking to get time with journalists at large conferences like Black Hat, CES or MWC: Most of us aren’t parachuting in for a single day of coverage, and you will vastly improve your odds of us going to your event if you don’t schedule it on the same peak evening as everybody else.)

    But no matter how well PR types optimize their meeting pitches, there’s no escaping one crazy-making aspect of this quest for journalists’ attention: how the volume of these requests keeps suggesting a far higher value for our time than our compensation indicates.

  19. Some folks seem to think that Dundon is hustling Portland for money b/c he knows the city won't pay, therefore he really wants to move the team.

    Every team moving to Las Vegas will regret their move greatly within 5 years. Make a fortune now. Climate hell awaits us all, especially locations already importing water and fighting over water rights.
