Hello dear readers (and listeners). You have found Ulysses V. The Texian Space Port for your Soul. Thank you for coming onboard. I have been quite busy lately, with what? You wonder sometimes how life flies by and at the end of the day you ask yourself what have I really done?







Anyway here is a new entry by your favorite Prophet and Time Traveler. I gotta get back into writing again – was busy with nothing. So what’s new?



First of all I got a domain name for my blog/website. Domain name is http://theemperoroftexas.com. I am starting a new season. So far I have written three inspirational books – Old junk new junk, A Wake Up Synopsis and Goodmorning..



I know in me hides the greatest writer of all time. For that I have gotta reach my one millionth word online. Only then will I be able to take myself serious as a writer. Well, something like that. It’s just a phrase I keep repeating.



Blogging is fun. To find readers is not that easy. Thus far I have managed to gather a couple of faithful readers. About fifteen or so. You can subscribe to my newsletter when clicking the link you just read.



I am not sure what this Season will bring as Spring slowly gets nearer. Somehow Winter is not my favorite season. Summer is! Also don’t forget to read my Poetry on everypoet.net. A great Poetry site which is sometimes slightly slow to hook on to.



My latest poem is called ‘It’s Not Yet The Equinox(A Weather Poem)’.



I have to get back to writing some new Poetry. Poetry elevates my Spirit to unknown heights! Reading and writing is one of our Major gifts.



Second of all ... No time. Gotta do some web organizing. I gotta get the mechanics of my blog/website rolling again as I start a new Season. That's it for today folks. Well, not exactly. Every Season I end with something new. For example my location on an other planet or as I time Travel in an other era or Time Dimension. Sometimes I end with the Weather forecast or my favorite Music and many other things. This time it's my old love that I have picked up. Don't forget to read the Appendix.

_-_-_-_-Appendix of the day-_-_-_-_

I am looking for new challenges at the moment and my love life sucks. So I have taken some time to watch some movies again. I had neglected for a long time my love. I am big movie lover. A couple of movies I have watched lately are:



The Interview directed by Craig Monahan. A great Australian movie with a somewhat unclear ending. Still beautiful cinematography. Highly unrealistic though. It’s a director that has turned writer. He does both. His camera work is of the Genius.



Stranger Than Fiction. Well what to say? A beautiful story with a happy ending in multiple fractures!



Black Swan. Nathalie Portman does a good job at her Ballet. A pity for the special effects. The theme of the story is excellent and should have been more than enough. It’s about the complications of a innocent girl in modern life with all its complications. Gives us a good insight into 'the corruption in Ballet'. Still worth seeing. Also the theme could be widened to any good Youth subject.



The Company Men. A beautiful Hollywood movie with a happy ending. It just shows us Europeans how we suck. In the U.S. no job means no food. Great overcoming of unemployment in the higher sectors of the Job Market.



Red Hill. A Pictureseque movie old Skool and great a revenge flick. I will not spoil it for you. Obviously low budget. I was sitting on the edge of my seat all the way! Australia keeps the Mad Max tradition alive with this movie. It contains all the elements of a good movie. Family, revenge, Good guys, bad guys and good old fashioned Heroics.



Un prophète.  A great Jail movie with a happy ending. A Cannes winner! It was the first time I saw it. Calling myself a Prophet somehow makes more sense since I saw this film. It added a dimension to what I felt I meant by calling myself a Prophet. You see what I mean?

That’s it for today folks. God Bless&See ya around.

Just a couple of movies that changed my life. A very humble selection

Movies that changed my life. A humble selection. Unedited. This is time consuming.



Just a little foreword:

Directors and actors can help us into understanding the oppressive society we live in. Their genius often inspired by great writers is of essential value. They look at art, history, the contemporary for us and in very subtle ways show us the strategies employed.They as all artist help us in making a better world. Here are a couple that I have selected for you. The ones that have inspired me.





All Kubrick movies. Especially:

Paths of Glory
Dr Strangelove
2001: A Space Odyssey
A Clockwork Orange

Except his last one. I didn't get nothing out of it. So vague.

Many of his movies are inspired by great writers which I also have read. Well most of them. Never say all of them.

His main body of work has helped us understand the American military establishment, how it works, its goals, its mastery at psychological warfare and how military institutions work in general. In other words(i.e.), its cunningness as well as its genius. He analyzed as nobody else could. His themes were always related with society, oppression and its strategies to that last goal. His movies are basics to understanding society in general.

Rowan Atkinson's Black Adder. Especially:
Season 4
Undoubtly the best critic and Genius ever to have walk on this planet.

All Alfred Hitchock movies. Especially:
Rope
Psycho
Frenzy

Also the short series in Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Some are even better than his movies. Mind boggling understanding of the human mind on a personal level.

All Akira Kurosawa movies. Especially:
Ran
The Hidden Fortress which is the inspiration for R2D2 and C3PO about two idiots wandering about. Also the princess:-)
The Idiot A Dostojevski interpretation.
Seven Samurai gives us a great insight into Japanese feudalism. Not the best of films but a good starter if you want to understand Japanese culture.

Kurosawa was one of the greatest idealists of the last century, with all its shortcomings as well.

All that I have seen of Satyajit Ray movies. Many. Especially:
Pather Panchali
Aparajito
Apu Sansar. These three movies are referred to as the Apu Trilogy. His most famous work in the West.

The Music Room is also great.

Ray gives us a unique understanding to Indian culture, its poetic beauty and culture.

I haven't seen them all yet. Some of them are even harder to get than Indian relics.

George's Lucas Star Wars. Especially:
The Empire Strikes Back before it's re-editing.

Some Spielberg movies.

All Tarantino movies.

Some Wim Wenders movies.

Jim Jarmusch is by far my most favourite director.

Etc. Etc..

Man-woman relationship movies.
A Bout De Souffle
Basic Instinct 2

I've also enjoyed so much M.A.S.H. with Alan Alda which is according to my humble scholarship a great existentialist even better than Woody Allen. See Alda's movies. They are superb. Of course with all the setbacks of existentialism. I've just laid a mine for you if you didn't notice!

My most favourite French Director is of course Jean-Luc Besson et Jean-Luc Goddard.

I am not well acquainted with French cinema. I tend to drop off in the middle of the movie. Often too intellectual for me. My favourite French actor is of course Jean Gabin, Jean Reno, Jean-Paul Belmondo et Gerard Depardieu. You have guessed who my preferred actrice is, which I have had the honor to meet and speak to. I won't tell you what she told me when I touched her:-) That's top-secret. She's a Genius. If you can guess you will get 100 Euro from me. It's not what you think.

Favourite Documentaries:
Bowling For Columbine

A Very heartfelt documentary from Michael Moore. All his stuff is good.

All Wiseman documentaries. Especially:
Central Park
Missile
Panama
One that I can't find about selling the Bible.

Very Kubrick-like into understanding the American establishment. The best documentary maker I have come across. Also Zola'esque documentary making. A master at displaying.

A Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing documentary called Jesus Camp. It's a unique documentary about christian fundamentalism in the U.S.

Dark Star. A master piece of cinematography. It's Theatrical!
The Bad Seed. A must see! Which gives us a good understanding of the female gender at its worst.
Outlander. Supreme science-fiction. The best attempt at science-fiction yet. It’s a complete logical sci-fi. It's TW onscreen.
Evil Dead. I am not into the horror genre. This one though has changed my life for ever!
Two-Lane Blacktop. Stylistic cinematography at its best.
Bagdad Cafe. Some directors have an undaunting faith in the human kind. Heartbreaking and spiritual, proof that everything is possible.
Hamburger Hill.
The Man Who Would Be King. Great movie and great book by Kipling. Sean Connery is such a great actor.
How To Get Ahead In Advertising. Wow, this one a must see! I just love advertising.
Full Metal Jacket which is the third best Vietnam movie ever also from Kubrick. I am the drill sergeant! Hamburger Hill is number one according to my humble scholarship and Jacob's Ladder number two. The Deer Hunter is also quite good. A little exaggerated though. Don't forget First Blood. A great script and Stallone a genius. He wouldn't hurt a fly and First Blood it was! The rest of the serie well is let's say not so good to be polite.

The next one comes from a Chinese exiled to Taiwan and Hong-Kong based director. It is one of the most superb stylistic movies ever made if not the best. Western cinema owes so much to Japanese, Korean and Hong-Kong movies. Very often the directors don't mention their sources. I am a big fan of Asian cinema as well as Japanese cinema which is not Asian dear readers.

A Touch Of Zen by King Hu. Unbelievable stuff really. I've of course seen all his movies, which from now on be referred to as Of course…

I am also a great fan of Ben Kingsley
He played so well Gandhi. Nobody on this earth could do a better job than he did. Death And The Maiden is also great as many others. Maybe the best actor of this world. He's so irritating though some times; when he gets sentimental.

Let's continue:

They are so many I can't remember.

Planes Trains And Automobiles. John Candy is so great. Steve though is quite a scary character. It's the meeting of extremes!

And of course just to be irritating I like Steven Seagal too. Is he not the inspiration for Chewbaca? One of his Ecology movies was quite good. Forgot the title.

Duck You Sucker Leone's best film by far.

Down By Law with the very sexy and young Ellen Barkin. MY favourite actrice. She only marries multi-millionaires though. A pity. Jim Jarmusch is so great. His movies are indescribable. Poetry in motion. Of course... You must see them. Get onboard!

Jacob's Ladder with Tim Robbins a long time ago. I was disappointed with his last movie. JL is about agent orange!

I of course love Vampire movies and you have guessed I love Béla Lugosi. He's such a junky! The one and only.

Let’s read on!

Last Days by director Gus Van Sant. A bizarre film director. Still Last Days will remain engraved for ever in my memory! Of course...

I can't start naming all the Japanese and Hong-Kong movies I have seen. I just forgot the titles. Most of them I saw in olm. They often have many names. Besides it would be off the point. I am just naming a couple that changed my life. Always look in olm whence you can.

Patton is my most favorite general and right he was although not always the brightest. He has a couple of unnecessary casualties on his karma. Don't get shell-shock on me! He's a Genius. You dumbf*cks don't deserve better anyway.

Marilyn Monroe last movie is also great. The Misfits is very good cinematography! Great theme about relinquishers. Why aren't all woman like her? The perfect maid.

The Godfather Trilogy. Not just your average gangster movie! Part 3 is my favourite.

If ever you have time don't forget to look at some of the masterpieces of the 40's and 50's in the genre noire as well. One of them is:


Beautiful movie with American intellectual Dustin Hoffman in his early days: Midnight Cowboy. Dustin is great although he misses the point very often. A good heart is not enough in this world!

Let's get prime!

Last Train To Freo. That's what you call a Masterpiece. The best homage yet to Becket. An Australian avant-garde cinematographical achievement of unequivocal achievement. See! a good movie brings a good sentence!

Bill Murray is such a stand up! Have you seen Lost In Translation? Coppola is quite a good director. Yes! which brings me to the lovely Scarlett Johanson which has played in some very good movies of the last ten years. I hope she's well coached and tutored? Some great movies recently are:
A Love Song For Bobby Long with Travolta a great actor and dancer!
Scoop with Woody Allen a sometimes great director. Still that guy got some problems!

Did you know that Ghostbusters 3 is due for 2012? I am actually looking forward to that!

Solaris form the good old soviet days! It's maybe the best what communism had to offer to us. At least they made one good movie.

Underground by master cinematographer Emir Kusturica
A very emotional display of repression and its strategies in former Yugoslavia.

Fellini I just can't watch. It's too intellectual! Maybe I get to it one day. Yes I did see the occasional movie from him. Don't remember about a marriage on the Italian country side:-)

Let's get black!

Samuel L. Jackson a great actor and philanthropist!? I've enjoyed so much his movies. He's such a hard working man. You can fit him anywhere. He'll get your moving going. That's what you call black!

Morgan Freeman a heartfelt sublime movie star. All his films are great. That's what you call African American!

Bahamian born Sydney Poitier is a daunty one. He's played in some great classics in very difficult times for example in The Defiant Ones and another one I can't find when he gets arrested in a county jail, being a policeman. My favourite. Can't find it on Wikipedia either. Damn my memory! Almost a relic of the past.

Let's get rolling again!

Burnt By The Sun

Sirocco the best Bogart movie. It's far ahead of its time. It's about gun dealing! There is always one Bogart movie that you haven't seen yet!

Hotel Rwanda an unforgettable movie. Not for the faint-hearted here. Its genocide all the way! Some people actually still bother to bring out some of the problems in Africa. A must see! The result of poverty and oppression.

The best Fidel movie yet. Superb and honest bio-doc-movie-making. It’s a unique movie into understanding Fidel Castro.

You're into China? Raise The Red Lantern will get you off your chair. It's about concubines:-) Beautiful cinematography.

The Human Condition of Japanese make gives us a good understanding into Chinese communism, Japanese Second World War oppression and it's done for you in the most artistic possible way. Highly idealistic though and such a long movie! Great stuff. Basics to understanding China and very philosophical! Which also reminds me of a great book
called Wild Swans by Jung Chang. It's a feminist and historical piece of Art! And such narration, reads like a rollercoaster. It's a gem of information!

Let’s continue!

When you are about to retire don't forget to see The World's Fastest Indian with Anthony Hopkins. He is so entertaining and an amazing actor. He can get your spirit into the right spirit!

Michael Caine too can inspire. Death Trap is very good. One of his better movies. I just love Helga. It's an Ira Levin adaptation. I've read all his books. The Boys From Brazil is my favourite.

Have you seen Cromwell? the best movie on the great statesman Oliver Cromwell. It's a masterpiece of English cinema. And such drama!

Mrs. Miniver a must see! Did Hitler really loose the war in Russia? Great insight into British culture and Churchill. He's not in it though.

Sometimes directors attempt at alternative history. What would have happened if Hitler had won the war? Can't remember that movie from a great documentary maker, that I just can't remember. The result is just off the planet. Its proof that he never could have won the war.

Hiroshima Mon Amour is a beautiful portrayal of post war Japan.

A Touch Of Evil from Orson Welles a great movie. Gives us yet again a good understanding of the American establishment. That guy's weird! This movie though I will remember.

Let's get prime!

Fishing With John is quite entertaining and very educational. Is Dennis Hopper just an actor? Let's get scary. His best movie is Out Of The Blue.

Trainspotting gives us a good insight into Scotland nowadays with all its problems. They are improving though maybe thanks to that movie!

John Ford is quite a good director when he gets serious. Fort Apache gives us a great understand into the U.S. cavalry and Indian relations, of course very romanticized. You'll just have to see between the lines.

Death Race 2000. A great futuristic-society-critic-movie with David Carradine, deceased not so long ago.

Let’s end on a cheerful note for the time being!

Clockwise with John Cleese. Unbelievable stuff!

Or a philosophical note!

The Whole Shootin' Match by Eagle Pennell is great cinema!

Still forgetting the best ones though.
Also got to get my best books out, and favorite music.

To be continued...
