clone wars

I’m back on my Star Wars ish watching the Clone Wars series on Cartoon Network. My favorite character in this series is the depraved Jedi assassin General Grievous.

General Grievous is an advanced cyborg who leads the droid armies of the Trade Confederacy against the Jedi knights and the Republic’s clone armies. Grievous is a super bad ass and after he kills a Jedi he retains their lightsaber as his trophy.

The technology which was used to reconstruct General Grievous would later be employed to keep Darth Vader alive after his deadly battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Even more than Vader however Grievous is a truly cybernetic organism. His limbs and body are totally mechanized. What remained of Grievous living tissue was encased in blaster proof metal.

Grievous can replace his various parts and appendages after they become worn or battle damaged.

I’ve been acquiring the latest Hasbro releases of General Grievous action figures. Some include detachable arms and removable weapons like his blaster rifle or lightsabers.

I don’t think Grievous will attain the cult status that Boba Fett has, but he is an interesting, evil and malevolent character who should play a significant part in the expanded Star Wars universe.

Pop Culture x Theater Of War…

war machine

The underwhelming sequel to ‘Iron Man’ will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray today. The further adventures of billionaire industrialist (read: weapons manufacturer) Tony Stark didn’t pack the punch of the first feature but strong supporting performances from Scarlett Johannson as Black Widow and Don Cheadle as War Machine warrant the views of fanboys in my honest opinion.

Coincidentally, Raytheon Corp., a real world industrial entity unveiled their next generation of military purposed technology. They call their design the Sarcos Exoskelton and they are less than a decade away from issuing the device into the theater of war. The exoskeltons main application will be the traversing of the Afghan mountain region for purposes of mining the mineral resources contained therein.

The design of any exoskeleton must take its inspiration from the ant. These animals have the ability to transport loads hundreds of times their own weight and like all of the species in the insect world their bodies are formed of an exoskeleton. Ants however are communal creatures for the most part whereas humans have evolved to the level where are actions are governed solely by capitalism.

I don’t know which I fret the most for our freedoms, the pilotless drone warship or the piloted mecha-soldier. I suppose they will both work in concert for a time, that is until SkyNet takes over. But by that time I’ll be dead anyhoo. So while I’m still alive and free to watch whatever movie I choose I’ll prA’li pick up a copy of ‘Iron Man 2’ from my local RedBox.

I can see Patrick Ewing taking an NBA franchise to the promised land and he never looked more Jamaican than the years he rocked that Red Sea part in his hair.

Bishop Long showing off his new iPhone [ll]

Back in the days in the Black church, and I’m assuming we all know what the Black church is… The Black church is the base support of brands like Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry. Back in the days in the Black church you knew where all the gheys were. The choir, natch. And it was accepted. And the music was good. The pastor/reverend/deacon/preacher was still a philanderer, but it was that classic vanilla boy on girl shit. Okay maybe the reverend might add another chick to the mix and a few lines of cocaine, but this was how it was down.

Meanwhile, the white church was a steady stream of fags and altar boys who got their asscheeks spread for God’s glory. The Catholic church was at one time the single greatest landowner throughout New York City but they have had to sell off acres of their land holdings to satisfy clandestine lawsuits of sexual impropriety. Integration has finally come to the church. I think Martin Luther King Jr. foresaw this in a dream after a ménage à trois in Memphis.

I’m never surprised when I learn that the Creflo Dollar types of ministries implode. The abuse can usually be traced to the minister’s name. You have to know that a preacher with the last name Dollar is gonna be a tax cheat. Just like some dude named Long is gonna make people get familiar with his johnson [ll]. Oh, and he’s based in Atlanta? Definite homo status. Nullus.

These preachers have congregations that outnumber concert attendance. Are they that nice with the word?! Or are people so confused and beat down that they just want to grab a hold of something [ll] and they flock to the biggest spectacle with the largest crowds? I’m sorry for the people that believe in these preachers as if they were supposed to be something other than a human with the normal selfish desires [ll]. Eddie Long is going to be a lot poorer for those desires. Maybe he can hit up his boy Creflo for a dollar?
