the last Jedi 12 17 2017

I am not going to give spoilers about this movie, but the visuals and graphics are absolutely stunning. You will definitely want to see it. If you are not a fan, then it is not the end of the world. Star Wars is one of the great Franchise movies ever made an epic tale of Good and Evil.  The same thing with the politicians they were good once and they turn evil? The total of all the Star Wars made over a billion for the past 40 years.

I like the cinematography in this movie because it’s absolutely breathtaking especially the action scenes they put together.  Since I am a photographer, I like the way it is put together.  Each frame tells a story.

Billie Lourd - The last jedi

Since Carrie Fisher died over a year ago, it is good to remember that this movie will be dedicated to Carrie Fisher and the next episode of the Star Wars Franchise movie should have an epic funeral of her instead of bringing her back alive. Did you know Carrie Fisher helped writing the screenplay for the Last Jedi? There was an epic scene in the movie or was it a premonition she had before she died.  And did anyone know that Billie Lourd, Carrie Fisher daughter was in the movie?

So far, the number is rising, the box office reports over 250 million surpassing the budget of this movie, that means the actors will be paid. Then the IRS will be after them.

rey jedi

One of the biggest clues in the movie is who is Rey? What’s her relationship with the characters in the movie? Who is related too? We don’t know. And why did she have the powers of the Jedi?  Is Kylo Ren and Rey related somehow? Did Yoda conceive her when Yoda did it with human female many years ago in a galaxy far far away?  Should they make a movie about Rey? People want an answer, and it would be great.  I am going to write a screenplay and see if they like it. It would take time to write it.

Go See it.

America Got Talent: Call Backs 2

sillykhan American Got Talent, What to Read, What to Watch, What's On TV , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Puddles the Ckown

For the second week, 20 acts will perform, and 7 will move on, that leaves 13 acts to leave the competition, but will leave with their dignity that they made it through this round. They should do the same thing when American Idol comes back in the Spring of 2018. They should have new rules of how to select the best talent.

One example would be Jokgu the piano playing chicken gave the crowd a huge response when he auditions for the first time. However, when it was time for the callbacks for a second-time audition and played with another chicken. Both chickens got stage fright and one poop out an egg, I guess they were out. And I had fried chicken for supper.

For the guest judge, they brought recording artist DJ Khaled to help identify real talent for the evening.

It was no surprised that Khaled had a soft spot for one of the singers, they were other singers who were also great, but he had to pick one of the acts. I think they should change the golden buzzer rules watch all the acts first and then pick one to go to the live shows. Evidently, Khaled chooses Chase Goehring. He was trying to push the button again for Evie Clair, but it did not work, only act for each week, bummer.

Evie Clair 1

One of my favorites was Puddles Pity Party the Clown, Simon worst nightmare but this clown was special, the clown can sing. Sad clown with a fantastic voice. If this clown was on The Voice, the judges would not know who it is.  He sang a Celine Dion power ballad “All By Myself” to a huge ovation from the crowd and the judges. I bet the clown will be in the Top 5.

In the end, the judges had to choose which acts will go through the next round. I like this version of American Got Talent when the acts have to perform again for the audience and a guest judge. And the guest judge has to choose one of the acts to go through.

In this round, seven acts are saved, and they are Chase Goehring, Puddles the Sad Clown, Mirror Image, Junior and Emily, Colin Cloud, Yoli Mayor and Evie Clair.

Last week, they had Chris Hardwick, comedian and the host of The Wall a game show on NBC, gave his Golden Buzzer to 9-year-old singer Angelica Hale.

Advancing to the next round along with The Masqueraders, Sara and Hero, Singing Donald Trump, (My Favorite – don’t ask me he’s entertaining), Just Jerk, Demian Aditya, and Eric Jones

They’ll all perform at the Dolby Theater in the live rounds.

Who are your favorites?

Be sure to tune in every  Tuesday Night at 8 pm on NBC! Tuesday Night is Family Night!

Michael Phelps Got Eaten by a Shark

sillykhan TV Reviews, TV Shows, Uncategorized, What to Read, What to Watch , , , , ,

michael-phelps and shark

So we saw Michael Phelps race against the Great White?

Wait a minute!

Michael Phelps is racing a Great White!

No way.

This is impossible, how do you train a Great White to swim in a straight line against Michael Phelps? It’s impossible. If we can train Killer Whales to perform at Sea World, there’s no way or possible to train a Great White to swim in a straight line.

“Clearly, we can’t put Michael in one lane and a great white shark in the far lane. We are going have to do a simulation,” said Tristian Gutteridge, ecologist.

That was the great give away right there; they have to do CGI of shark swimming against Michael Phelps. It’s a simple logical explanation; we can’t put a man in the water with a great white, someone could get killed. And who get’s the medal, probably the great white. They should put Michael Phelps in a Sharkando movie; then it will be funny to see him out swim a shark. By the way, the shark won by two seconds of a point.

The whole hour of the program they talked about the speed of the sharks which was quite interesting to watch and to learn about – maybe there’s a pop quiz at the end of the show of who can out run a shark! Michael Phelps will be on the pop quiz, and it would be a wrong answer.

By the way, it was interesting to watch, however, they did it again. Remember Cannibal in the Jungle? I hope they do it again soon – it’s interesting to watch and learn, and get fool by it.

Yeti or Not

sillykhan Uncategorized, What to Watch , , , , , , , , , , ,

Tibetan Bear 1

Is the Yeti Real?

Is the Yeti real or not, or is it a Tibetan bear that walks on its hind legs and wave it’s arms to scare people to get the picnic basket when they run away from the bear. There’s no food during the winter months in the mountain, because it is covered in snow.  The Yeti is a large hairy creature resembling a human or bear, said to live in the highest part of the Himalayas.

The only animals that live in the Himalayas are Tibetan bears. Can they resemble the Yeti with extra fur coat of other dead bears to keep warm?

Or, it has been suggested that the yeti is the Chu-Teh, a Langur monkey that lives at lower altitudes, the Tibetan blue bear or the Himalayan brown bear. Can they wear extra fur coats of dead bears to keep warm?

Sources say it hangs out anywhere, not in bars to keep warm, but in the icy peaks of Himalayas. The cold area of Nepal, Bhutan, Tibet and India. Eyewitness have seen it further afield in Mongolia.

Earlier this year, a yeti like monster was spotted in the slopes of Spain of the ski resort of Formigal, in north-eastern Spain. Probably the Yeti was thinking to go skiing?

If you decide to hunt the creature yourself: don’t.  Some of the bears are nocturnal, they like to eat and hunt at night.

(Most people like us like to raid the refrigerator at night.)

They whistle and growl to attract people.

(We burp.)

They run fast on all fours, but if you see them walking on two feet, they probably eating leaves from tree.

(We just stood there when someone puts on the light, like your spouse.)

Unfortunately, these bears can kill you with a single punch.

(We are getting too fat. Or probably we eat like a bears.)

By the way, I still like the documentaries when it is a mystery. Is it real or not. For an example, Cannibal in the Jungle, it made people talk about it and do research, like go to the library and do research. The body found of a Mermaid. We were hook on it. Was it real? They got us. I like the “What if” possibilities of these creature were real. I missed that. It was entertaining to watch.

Then put a disclaimer at the end of the show.  Bring back these documentaries style shocker and the let the TV audiences flip out and scientist too. Ratings were good for these shows.

Eaten Alive – Anaconda Spit it out!

If you were watching Paul Rosolie’s Eaten Alive on the Discovery Channel and found out he is still alive. He’s alive. Who wants to be eaten alive by a anaconda and tell about it? That’s a great bed-time story for Paul could tell to his children.

One could say, it was stunt to get viewers aware that these anacondas are very dangerous and several men and animals have been eaten alive and not tell about it.

Many people complained on twitter that he wasn’t eaten alive or be consumed by the big snake.

If you were in the protective suit and you feel that one of your arms were being broken. Would you be alive? One arm would be broken and then a crack or snap from the other one. You can have the protective gear to protect you. Still the anaconda will win.

The anacondas are still strong even the protective barrier he had one to protect his arms and the rest of the body. They were strong, but the pressure of the anaconda can still break anything. Even a tree trunk.

So he was nibble alive, which was good. Discovery channel and Paul knew this stunt was very dangerous and they took a chance. PETA slam the show for their anti-climactic ending and the use of other animals that was being used to get the animals to be eaten alive on the show. The show itself was an education to learn about this beautiful and deadly creatures and Paul wanted to preserve their habitat. By listening to Paul narration and the water field forestland, it was an education to learn about this.  The best way to preserve their habitat is to leave it alone.  If someone interfered it, someone would not return.  So how do you feed a hungry anaconda?

Paul did restricted the animal diet of not eating anything else, but him. The outfit he was wearing was a steel-carbon-fiber-fitted suit strong enough for being constricted and pressurize by the anaconda strength. The anaconda did try to swallow him head first, with the special helmet. Luckily, he had head cams on them and we saw he was being swallow head first, but the strength almost broke his arm and he had to tap out.  So the anaconda almost had curry Paul Rosolie.

Paul felt his arms were getting ready to crack, so he had to pull out.  His crew pulled the anaconda away from Paul and none of the team members got attacked or eaten by this beast of the anaconda.
