Jupiter Ascending

I can’t wait until Andy and Lana Wachowskis’ “Jupiter Ascending” will be released – 24 July 2014 in The Netherlands. The trailers look spectacular – even though the first “Official Teaser Trailer” was rather short.

Now there is a longer trailer that shows more scenes, but of course it is all to put our patience to a test and make us hungry for the real thing.

Here is the storyline:

Jupiter Jones was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning toilets and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine, a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along – her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

But let’s be honest: I don’t care at all what the story is about – the movie is about the effects, the gear, the amazing visuals and, probably, the cool fight scenes.
Finally two other small pieces of dog food that are thrown to us: two posters that were just released.

That should suffice to keep us alive until the whole meal is being served.

  • The Aesthetics and Beauty of Knowledge

    Shih was the opposite of facts and raw information; shih was the elegance of knowledge, the insight and skill to organize knowledge into meaningful patterns. As an artist chooses colours or light to make her pictures, a master of shih chooses textures of knowledge – various ideas, myths, abstractions, and theories – to create a way of seeing the world. The aesthetics and beauty of knowledge – this was shih.

    – David Zindell, The Broken God, 1993

  • Geek Attitude

    The attitude thing is about flexibility, portability, creativity, sociability and jamming (ran out of suitable “ity” words!). It’s about improvising – in the practical and musical senses of the word; not getting tangled in boundaries and the “right” way to do things.
    Definitely the only way to travel.
