I want to believe

So, on the topic of pirates vs. ninjas. Seems there's a lot of commotion going around that, and people debate who are better, worse, deadlier, etc. And though this debate hardly pertains to me, I do want to ask this simple thing:
Are you out of your f***ing minds? I mean, who cares?

Anyway, today is a rather uneventful day. No grannies to be pissed off about, and it seems the climate hasn't changed at all during today either. So, this kind of uneventfulness only leads to apathy. And apathy leads to tiredness, tiredness leads to grumpiness, grumpiness leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering.......

My collection of DVD's has been growing nicely within the last 10 months or so, and finally I made the best decision of all. I bought the Indiana Jones trilogy pack with a bonus DVD for HKD 270, and it's the best thing ever. Indiana Jones is one of those childhood favorites of mine that never seem to grow old - like the classic "old" Star Wars. There's a lot of action and a lot of things going on, but everything is kept to a realm of realism. The action is awesome because there were no computers to 'improve' peoples' physical attributes, or to 'enhance' the visual effects.

Best explained with the comparison of the "old" Star Wars with the "new" ones.
1. JEDIs;
In the old Star Wars Jedi's are knights. They fight with swords and they rarely jump around or do anything too fancy. They are well trained and well disciplined fighters but they are still mostly human - even with their 'force' that aids them against normal people. Both feet on the ground, they hack away like a knight of old Europe.

In the new Star Wars Jedi's are ninjas. They fight with swords (can't really understand why with all the special powers they have) and jump around like anything from a Kung-fu movie. They spend 14% of their time on the ground, the rest they are flying around. They are stupid ninjas and no better than anything in the contemporary Hollywood movies with kung-fu fighting scenes. I liked the knights better.

2. TECHNOLOGY;
In the old Star Wards the technology is credible and rather restricted. The ships look realistic and the designs are rather simple. A certain level of technology is set and what you see in the movies does not change that much.

In the new ones, the technology is (for some reason) a lot more developed than in the old ones (that are supposed to happen, in the movie time line, after the new ones). There are gadgets, droids, weapons, ships, etc., that all surpass the level of technology of the old movies.

I can understand the urge to show-off the latest tricks you can do with computers but they could've done it in a more subtle way. Now it just pisses me off. With these stupid changes they made for the movies they totally disconnected them from what I originally liked about them. The new ones are not natural nor credible. They don't 'feel' real. I don't relate to their universe.

Now I heard they are making a new Indiana Jones. Unlike most people, I'm not worried whether Harrison Ford is up for the role again. I'm worried they'll screw the whole movie over with stupid effects and other stupid contemporary crap.

Keep it simple, keep it real.
