Virtues of the virtual world

Rating: 2/10 (17 October 2014)

Well, the fiercer the storm, the calmer its eye, unless it is a storm in a tea-cup made by the Ghost Rider. Take a thick yet light rope, of a fair length, in your hand, if not a heavy chain, and try creating a vortex overhead, and once that is done, now try doing the same thing without having the wind knocked out of your lungs.Then you can graduate to doing it by just twirling your wrist, instead of your whole arm; this later feat should be easy since you are using a thick rope, not a thin strip of ribbon, not to mention, you are not a lady dancer.Finally, if you are not using a heavy chain already, migrate to it now.You will have to start all over, but think of it as perks of the job. Admitted, doing all this would be a lot easier, if you were just a dead skeleton, instead of also live flesh and blood. Although, I certainly would not mind burning the road instead of the rubber. Is this a comic-al marvel or a scientific one ? Are these blatant mis-takes and are they cool and are they hot , or are they what-not ? Going by today's trends and taste, I'd say this movie grossed quite a bit, not considering the hearts all over the world it would have set on fire, and the adorable central character no one would mind impersonating.
You might say I am making too much of it, movies are pure escapism, not meant for portraying reality and depicting the truth, but I say the thin veil separating fact from fantasy can never be parted, and like it or not , even in the fantasy world, one is bound to fortuitously take sides even if they be the same, and eventually determine to stand one's ground even if it be shaky. Would you rather not do the exact opposite in the factual world ? It is certainly a lot easier, and you will definitely be better off.
When retaining ones own sanity is a far cry in a world that prefers insanity, it certainly is too much to ask on my part, perhaps even my own insanity, to expect some semblance of sanity from it.
