Tales

Well Ryuki that would be the optimistic scenario but it would also mean that in the future we might become like terminators in the next future and finally Transformers in the distant future.

OKay if you guys wanna know what I am talking about in technophobia.... You can watch Terminator, I,Robot and perhaps the Matrix to understand this. Fictional these movies gave us a sound warning: Machines cannot be made too smart. But however, being flights of fantasy, this warning like most science fiction stuff tends to be disputed by the scientific community for years. But look it this way, science fiction has warned us of several issues in the past or predicted the coming of things like submarines, overpopulation of Earth.etc. Even thought most are still far from reach but at the rate we are going, it's possible that with the exception of light sabers, science fiction and facts will began to blur in the future. However based on the documentary, Visions of the future hosted by Michio Kaku, Science Fiction in regards to cybernetic revolt or Machine takeoff scenarios have only shown us the bright side of this possible future. "Whenever Hollywood shows us human coming into conflict with AIs, the sides are roughly evenly balanced. Becos Hollywood can only show you movies, where the good guys have a fighting chance. Goliath versus David is a story, Goliath versus a fruit fly is not." Eliezer Yudkowski Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Palo Alto So that means science fiction have been showing us a little psychological comfort that we can win over our mechanical creations. But it turns the truth is, we have no chance of winning at all!! Should we start addressing this issue whether we should make our machines smarter or we should put a cap on it and say maybe before they evolve intelligence we stem their evolution.

Maybe we can see more of Starscream's antics like in the comic adaptation of the movie where Starscream tries to remake the Allspark. Now he knows that the allspark is just a vessel. He might look for a system to drain of solar power to make a new allspark and rebel against Megatron.

The storyline of ROTF is quite empty than Transformers 1. The feeling is also a bit different. ROTF is a bit empty and hollow. But most movies of today also suffer from this problem. And also there is a problem of sexual discrimination.

So where have the good storywriters gone? Are the scriptwriters of the past better than their descendants today? Or has this generation of scriptwriter cannot compare with the predecessors.

maybe also the less serious and deep storylines too... It's also inflicted the movie industry too.

Here's my worlds A.N.T Basically, RAIM- Resistence against Intelligent Machines have been lifted from the CIA's blacklist. RAIM is now doing a campaign to make robots, machines and software less intelligent like before the pre-Ambigious Computing Era. Basically there are remnants of the Prey since doing the "Allspark" and making machines into Transformer like Monsters. Kamen Rider TERRABYTE is out there keeping the Prey at bay while juggling motherhood duties with her son. Meanwhile a robot rights advocate, Smith, is plotting against RAIM. He is secretly aided by the evil Kamen Rider Blade.

But are your Rider's world's secondary Characters aware of Decade's existence? Best is they are totally not aware and see him as an enemy at first.

tellytubby land syndrome? Explain this?

hmm well N. Korea and its nuclear ambitions? It's all over the news isn't it.

yeah it's pity. Godzilla despite it's just a big lizard stomping through Tokyo, has many deep meanings within its story and that's what attracted me to it when I was a kid. I think if there is a new Godzilla maybe they will visit N. Korea for a change?

Lets hope since Black's return to Decade and also Kamen Rider W coming, Kamen Rider can get its spirit back.

But here's a joke... Qn: What does Apollo Geist says when he is defeated? Ans:

how expensive? I think Black's return to the Tv screen might save the face of Kamen Rider.... after Den-O's nonsense

OK my newest entry Audio Entry 260709 Also included the return of Disney Magic.

Is it possible that Kamen Rider changed becos Japanese people's attitudes and culture changed?

Ok but then back to the topic, even in peaceful times, we still have office politics, and more deeper philosophical stuff going on and it's not something that cannot be just covered up in films these days with comedy and special effects. Like say, movies like say Angels and Demons kinda made me ponder about our actions in the past when people of different beliefs slaughtered each other. In Angels and Demons, they said the Vatican and the illuminati had some ancient blood feud. Which made me think of Galileo, who was condemned to death by the church becos he was telling the scientific truth? How far can we accept differences in our society? And what things should be accepted? Terminator Salvation awakened the technophobe in me. The scene of humans in the Skynet slaughterhouse even though it wasn't bloody made me ponder on how we can prevent ourselves from being betrayed by our creations? I.Robot despite it was not really a well received by critics from what I heard did the same as Terminator Salvation. Especially the saying about "Ghosts in the machine". Now everytime my pc jams or hangs, this saying plays like some mp3 player in my head. The Matrix trilogy enforces it even further. I now wonder how far should we go in bestowing our creations, intelligence and what is intelligence? But to be more fair, the change in the story is a bad thing but this "trend" also had its positive points. Everything has pro and cons. I am trying to see what pros are there for impartiality reasons. Does anyone think the 2008 writers strike had also an big impact too?

Wow, that's a cheapo way to get audiences.... If there is a move there is a countermove. I wonder if there is a way to combat this and get stories back into movies again without a war like what Super Existence says?

Heads up, it;s my latest entry. Audio Entry 240709 No photos today... but I was posting my thoughts on this topic over at Ideas section http://www.japan-legend.com/forum/index.ph...view=getnewpost

Okay I put this in my audio Blog here. Thanks so much for your food for thoughts.

Hmm makes sense but I still feel that it is not really a good reason for this falling in the standards of stories. Could there be a bigger reason? This fall of the standard has affected not just american movies, even eastern shows like Kamen Rider too is also witnessing this. In fact the problem is so serious it caused quite a ruckus in the fandom with each flaming each other. But however, even in times of "peace", we still have the usual stuff with human life going back. Jealousy, fight for survival,etc these are things that we like to see on screen. But now most of them is just plain comedy that doesn't make me laugh. Anyone else?

I see. But I see that the movies made yesterday and I am talking about some great movies made several years ago even as early as four to five years ago. I had some different feelings whenever I watch them and compare them with the "hollow" story movies of today. Okay set aside the visual language understanding, the current movies lack the depth in storyline compared with their predecessors. I mean some of the films made in the past had some kind of food for thought after the person watches it..... Whatathink?

For evil Kiva, we can put clues that the current evil Riders are just clones of the original. In this case, we have to put a small clue like say after Decade saves Shadow's world, Kivat the 3rd flies pass the moon and looks at Decade. He won't be following Decade though. Most likely he would be trying to find clues to where Wataru is and Goro might take him in. Other "items" include; Agito's Lord of Light, Dragredder, AutoVajin, Blade's Beetle Undead, Hibiki's Oni, Kabuto Zector. For Kuuga, it the Kuuga belt which Goro will take it from the battle after Decade defeats him.

okay I got it sorry becos I wasn't aware of the existence of other guyver like beings until Spectre tell me about Zoalord and more. Maybe we can scrap the Agito idea. But just to tell you, we might not do this crossover. But we will put a pin on it. first we have to deal with our 9 worlds.

Hi everyone, I was talking about this topic in my audio blog in which I still haven't found the right words to describe this. Okay, as a movie buff and a story buff since since I began to know how to write stories, I began to notice the difference between the movies made more recently and the ones of the yesterday like 10 - 20 years ago. Anyone who have the same feeling? Let discuss that here intelligently and see what's the difference and what changed.
