Independence Day Resurgence

Watched the above movie on the big screen and in 3D.
This movie is okay for a one time watch. The earlier movie Part 1 I have watched more than 15 times.
What I found that Part 1 movie was based with current earth technology.
This movie has shown that Earth has harvested the Alien technology and is using for its own benefit as well as for defending itself.
Thus while the earlier movie was "less" science fiction, this is more science fiction and goes to the realm of "warp travel" and outer space including interstellar travel like Star Trek. We can say that very likely Part 3 wont be based out of earth. So the concept of "Independence Day" will lose its relevance. The tile will remain but it wont be the same.

Brexit

I feel Brexit is good for Britain.
Why? Because I feel that Britain was a world class empire in its hey-days and it can regain its self respect by being "independent". Britain does not need any "Europe" to survive.
If any people have any doubts as to Britain's survival, they can look towards Israel. Israel has survived in "hostile territory" for way too long. While countries around it were "burning", it has prospered.
While some may say it would having its "hand" in fanning those troubles, we can take away the fact that Israel has prospered no matter what happened in the neighbourhood whether it was responsible or not.
Now, earlier teh British Empire which existed was probably a "thorn" in its side. How? the human nature of "jealousy" exists and that is also spilling over in the larger context of nations.
So the "vast empire" of Britain was a cause of extreme jealousy in the earlier world and in the "craze to build their own empires" resulted in two World wars which resulted in the death of millions and destruction of entire countries.
The countries who wanted to build their own empires felt left out and thought through military action it would be achievable. Germany and Japan tried and failed miserably.
Now this Brexit which happened will be good for Britain because those millions of Europeans amongst others who have made Britain their home would have to leave. there would be more jobs available for Britons.
Britons can summarily deport thousands whom it does not want and considers them as threats.
It is a chance for Britain to take a pause and decide where it wants to go ahead and decide its further course of action.
The Scots who wanted independence earlier need not bother now. They wanted independence not only from Britain but also from Europe. Now they can stay with the Brits and chart their own course of history. It is easier for the Scots to work with England than with a mixture 25 countries of mainland Europe.

Twitter Lists and Accounts

I have restarted the Twitter Account and no matter how I have criticized Twitter earlier, this post may be regarded as the most latest view from me.
I will first outline recent history between me and Twitter as below:
  • First I was searching for NSFW images on Google. One such image led to a Twitter account and it was "protected". So I repoened the Twitter account using Gmail.
  • Then I thought why not have two separate Twitter accounts. One for NSFW images and the other for general stuff like celebrities or news or WWE. So I opened another account with my Yahoo mail.
  • I used two accounts for quite sometime, it is actually very easy you just need to switch from one account to another in your smartphone and then what I found that I was unable to use either properly. Neither NSFW nor the General accounts in Two separate accounts.
  • So I clubbed the accounts i.e. I decided to follow all from one account in another and then unfollow all from the other and went ahead and deleted that account. So I was left with just one account with me about 1000 following. But that resulted in the "newsfeed" getting too cluttered.
  • Then I noticed a feature in Twitter which is lists. 'Lists' are like "group". You follow say 100 people and then you can divide those into 3 or 4 lists of 25 or whatever each. Then it becomes compact. You need not view all the people you follow at one go. You have splitted them and then you can go to the respective lists and read their "tweets". It is a compact and neat and clean way to view Twitter. It is like creating a playlist in Youtube or Dailymotion.
  • And since you have just one Twitter account you do not need to jump or switch from one account to another. There is one disadvantage thought. Adding each person or user you follw to a list is monotonous exercise. You have to go to settings button beside the person and manually allott that person to a list. That is a time consuming affair but it is "one-time" exercise.
  • Once you have added the all the people you follow to the lists you only need to add people to lists if you follow them newly.
  • There is one more flaw. If you make too many lists then you will get confused and not know where to put the people you follow. I have noticed that 4-5 lists are enough. If there are more it would get complicated.

Ghayal Once Again

Watched the above movie on Tata Sky Showcase HD Channel.
I will say the movie is modern but the outlook is also old. Not to speak that they have shown close to impossible stunts in the movie.
It is okay for a one time watch. They have shown modern technology but the concept is same as the old Ghayal, that is what I meant.

Spotlight, Udta Punjab

Watched the movies as mentioned above and below:
Spotlight : This movie was watched on Tata Sky Showcase HD Channel. It is a very good movie to be fair. The best line from the movie, "If it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to molest one". That sums up the movie. But it is also a "white movie". I mean where are all the ordinary, normal looking coloured and black people in the movie. They are all missing. Just like Oscars were termed as white a few months back, so can this movie be called so.
Udta Punjab : Watched this movie on the big screen. It is okay to be watched once. It shows the drugs menace within the confines of semi-urban and rural areas.

Te3n, The 5th Wave

Watched two movies as mentioned below:
Te3n : Watched this movie on the big screen. Movie is okay to be watched once.
The 5th Wave : Watched this movie on Tata Sky Showcase HD Channel. Movie is okay for a one time watch. Maybe a two time watch. But third of fourth time it gets kind of boring. There are some flaws as well especially in the end where the heroine is so easily able to get her brother. Also, the way a single man who is a 'double' is easily able to blow up the military base.
This movie was watched on Tata Sky Showcace HD Channel and they offer 20 free movies along with the Ultra HD pack. I am now covered 15 movies. 5 free movies remaining I would say.

Housefull 3, Aliens on Moon-The Truth exposed, Netflix, WWE

Watched few stuff in the last few days. I say stuff because I would not term those as "movies" completely.
Housefull 3 ; This was a movie and I watched it on the big screen. This is okay to be watched once. And it was full entertaining.
Aliens on Moon-The Truth exposed : This is a documentary and was watched on Netflix. This is the total opposite of "moon landing fake" theory. This documentary shows that there are "people" or "aliens" on moon and due to them only we have not gone back to the moon.
On Netflix
On Netflix watched a quite few of other stuff as below:
Conspiracy:Moon landing - Compared to earlier which was about 2 hour this was around a one hour documentary and it proved that moon landing was hoax. All astronauts were healthy, it showed. No one suffered any radiation effect. I will say objectively if you wonder. It is more likely that moon landing is hoax and there is no life on the moon. Because if there was life on the moon then at least some independent authority might have spotted it. Even if we assume that NASA is involved in the conspiracy. After watching this documentary it seems it would be easier for NASA to fake a moon landing then hide alien life on moon.
Narcos - Had begun watching this series on Netflix and I must say this is of high quality.
House of Cards : Had begun watching this series on Netflix and I must say this is of high quality.
Sharkanado 2: Was watching this movie on Netflix. Half watched.
Now the present situation is that I have stopped my subscription of Netflix. I do hope to resume it soon. Just got few other things in mind and those needs to be resolved before I resume.
WWE Stuff
I have been watching WWE and TNA shows regularly and if I miss it I download it and watch it. I use Dailymotion to download. I do not subscribe to WWE Network but I feel it would be the best way to watch the shows of WWE. Sometimes we do not feel the urge to watch teh shows but if we have WWE Network we may have the urge not to miss the shows.
I have watched "Rise Above Hope" on Dailymotion. It is a five part video from DVD which chronicles the rise of John Cena. Worth watching I would say.
I have downloaded "The Rock" seven part video from DVD and am watching it. It is worth watching I would say.
I am downloading "The Legacy of Shane McMahon" a five part video from DVD and will watch it definitely.
I downloaded a 30 minute preview of Sting video. Entire video was not available but I am sure on WWE Network it would be available. And that is what would make WWE Network lucrative. you can watch shows like Swerved, Totally Divas and Camp WWE, shows which one does not feel interested to watch on a regular affair. But when is part of WWE Network one may watch it. But what I feel one can only be a member of either Netflix or WWE Network, one cannot be a member of both. In addition to the money outflow one would not feel interested I feel.
