Hellraiser : Butchering Pinhead

Hasn't Hollywood figured out we don't want remakes anymore? STOP IT!

One of the problems with modern remakes is too much CGI, especially a movie or franchise where the practical effects are so amazing they still hold up today.

Another problem with modern remakes is the race or gender swapping of main characters. Most of us don't care what the race or gender of the main characters are when they are brand new; just make them a great character either hero or villain. Changing the race or gender of a popular or well established character is just pandering.

So what is happening to the Hellraiser reboot : gender swap of Pinhead, kinda'. It might have too much CGI too, but I don't know.

Full disclosure, I don't care about the Hellraiser franchise. The first one came out when I was 18 and I found it boring; in fact, I don't know if I finished watching it or even just fell asleep during it. However, I've been meaning to try to revisit it.

So how established is Pinhead as a male, or how deep is the franchise before this swap?

• 10 movies
• 4 Novels
• 103 Comic books (if I counted correctly)

What makes this gender swap more infuriating is that in the comicbooks there is a female Pinhead, Kirsty Cotton. In the storyline, after years of fighting cenobites, she agrees to take Pinhead's place as the Hell Priest and takes on his disfigurement. Kirsty Cotton even appears in the movies fighting cenobites. Maybe that's who they'll make this reboot Pinhead to be? But this is billed as a reboot, and the storyline reads like it is the same first movie.

Brace for fans picking this simplification apart.

So this Pinhead reboot is played by Jamie Clayton, a trans-woman, a faux-woman. So is this really a gender swap? Or is this appropriate casting having a mutilated man playing a cenobite?

All I know is this sounds woke, woke as Hell.

Socialism needs to keep selling itself to the people. Canada has socialized medicine; here a hospital uses its tax dollars to produce a magazine to tell people how great they are. No need to put the money into health care! Courtesy of Rebel Media.

Escape from California

It is so depressing when fictional dystopian movies come close to being real life.

So far a majority of driver's licenses issued by California went to illegal aliens. 443,000 of 883,000 licenses by the end of July in 2015 went to illegal aliens.

Maybe we should build a fence around California and change California from a state to a jail or loony bin like "Escape from LA" and "Escape from New York." It is driving out all sorts of businesses due to its tax policies, but is taking in all sorts of illegal aliens. How long till Americans are the minority in California?

Maybe we just kick California out of the union and give it to Mexico. There you go Mexico. Pay for those Californian entitlements.

Best thing might be to strip California of its laws and make it a territory of Texas subject to Texan law. YeeHA!

Homeland Securities and White Terrorists

This is not big news that Homeland Security has a campaign "If You See Something, Say Something." You probably already know there was a video produced that portrays terrorists as white men, not middle-eastern heritage.

Why am I bringing this up?

Department of Homeland Security homepage currently has as its top link this program with the video. Really?

Would you like to embed this video? Here is the necessary HTML.

Department of Energy ruins the Jack-O-Lantern

It is National Energy Action Month and the Department of Energy would like you to increase awareness by "geeking out" your Jack-O-Lantern. At a time when bullying is such an issue and we are having absurd anti-bullying laws we have a department of the federal government urging kids to be geeky at a time they should be scary for the season? That's just begging kids to make themselves targets to get picked on!

You can download a PDF of some recommended patterns for your pumpkin(s). The following is a thumbnail of the patterns:

Jeez! What kid doesn't want to carve a light bulb in their pumpkin instead of a scary face?

This probably is not a big deal except for the fact that parents might get involved in this idea. Why would a parent have light bulbs and windmills on their kids pumpkins instead of scary faces? Because the DOE will post images of your Lame-O-Lanterns that you send in. Some people just can't resist that bit of Internet fame by having their handiwork displayed on a government site.

Thanks to the DOE, some kids are going to have a lame Halloween.

DOE ends their blog entry with Happy “Energy-ween!”

I am a bit surprised they didn't go with Happy Hallo-green!

Voter Fraud - by Encounter Books

Narrated by Bill Whittle, this video about voter fraud feels like one of Whittle's Firewall videos. Excellent explanation how the Democrats exploit racism to support voter fraud.

Whose Phone Is It? #ObamaPhone debunked?

People are real fired up about this #ObamaPhone meme!

Conservatives are having a field day with the comments a woman made because she got an "Obama phone." She is going to vote for Obama and predicts Obama will do more. It illustrates for the conservatives the portion of the population that feed off the government largess at the taxpayers expense, and she shouts it loud and proud.

The liberal blogs are getting upset over the conservatives having a field day with the meme because there is no such thing as an Obama phone. They think the conservatives are stupid for perpetuation the meme.

There is no "Obama phone?" Technically it looks like there is not. The "Obama phone" has quite a history:

1. Communications Act of 1934. President Franklin Roosevelt^[tAW]
2. The Lifeline program started in 1984. President Reagan^[tAW]
3. The Lifeline program expanded in 1996. President Clinton^[tAW]
4. SafeLink started in 2008. President George W. Bush^[E][TP][FC]

The blogs debunking the Obama phone are calling the conservatives racist or stupid. Some are even claiming this is the "Bush Phone" according to the history cited above. They are trying to take a woman gloating about her government swag that will vote for Obama because of it and trying to turn it on the conservatives. Even twitter is trying to squash the meme by posting the Think Progress post about the meme at the top of the hash search for #ObamaPhone.

The conservatives' point is not that there is an "Obama Phone" but that this woman illustrates the awful 47% that can be bought off for her vote on government swag.

In the end, the liberals trying to make fun of conservatives over the Obama phone concept are really making fun of the Obama supporter whom thinks she has an Obama phone. And the conservatives are making fun of her for being proud of her government hand out.

However, do not worry about your tax dollars going to this program. It is funded by a charge on your phone bill called a "Federal Universal Service Charge." This charge is, of course, mandated by the government. So if you do not want to pay for these free phones you simply have to stop owning and paying for your own phone. As long as you pay for your phone, you are paying for hers.

Just to confuse matters a little more, the blog Jammie Wearing Fools points out that there is an Obama Phone website.
