Highlights this week included watching the silly but fun hevyweight matchup of Godzilla vs Kong. The audience got to witness see Kong do strange things like visit a subterranean world with anti-gravity and wield an axe. I really like Kong as a character. This movie made me realize it. I want to see more of Kong.
https://www.qbn.com/reply/401394… was a cool concoction. This piece is specifically why we are on this strange planet. I will watch it again after this log.
https://www.qbn.com/reply/401409… I got into a philosophical mindset when rationalizing the ethics of animal fornication vs animal consumption. As guardians of the living beings on this planet, and with plentiful alternatives, could we one day see the end of the hypocrysy of allowing the manufacture of animal holocaust as a way of alimentation while frowning upon the lesser evil of sexual experimentation with these life forms? Not that I want to know personally, but the laws against fornication with animals seems absurd when we kill and devour said animals. The taboo is an odd one from an ethical standpoint to say the least.
Finally, I wrote an absurd rant about not wanting the current epidemic to end. https://www.qbn.com/reply/401409…
Everything else has been status quo. We will soon be screening The Fly remake by Cronenberg, I hope to see that one. Until my next log, I remain Captain James T. Kirk, Captain of the USS enterprise and not an animal fornicator but a man of ethical reasoning. Godspeed.

Things have been smelly here on the ship ever since Bones clogged the restroom with a turd the crew has cristened the "EVER GIVEN". The thing just wouldn't budge. Anywho, we were able to dislodge it using a phaser ray and peanut butter. The Borg has infected many of us on the ship while others have taken the vaccine. I was infected and I'm mostly feeling fine... hungry, but fine. I've been eating non-stop. The trim stomach I had been rocking all winter is now a bloated bulge. Luckily, spring is here and I am cutting out the pasta in favor of Garbanzos. I'll be in top shape by June.

I saw Almadobar's 'The Skin I Live In' last night. I saw the Hitchcockian influences, without a doubt. Then, this thread happened https://www.qbn.com/reply/401287… and it got me thinking about how there can be binary paths of thinking when it comes to the ethics of human freedom. The totalitarian wants to limit the human consciousness in an attempt to keep it in line with the 'natural way' the totalitarian has been trained to live in. This religious-friendly, divinity-based, self-righteous path may frown at body-transformation, suicide, and other perceived perversions. Then, of course, we have the non-repressive ethos. These ethos would allow someone to push the boundries of their realities to pursue that which their mind wants, with consequence to the vessel of the body, maybe. If the consciousness desires a change of gender to be at peace, these ethos would allow the freedom. If the consciousness desires a merging with technology, or a strange piercing or even euthanasia, it is these ethos that would allow the experimentation, and/or relaxation of the limitations we put on our fellow beings to fulfill their desires without judgement. The totalitarian's goal, in essence, is a parental-figure that wants to control the person to help that person be the ideal being that the totalitarian has visualized. The non-repressive ethos, which some label as 'liberal', would find satisfaction in the allowance of the being to find it's happiness on it's own. With it's own self-exploration, as macabre as it may be.

It's here! The Borg has consumed me. I don't wish to go outside. I am completely consumed with the virtual. I don't feel myself unless I have taken the daily digital dosages. Meanwhile, the spring breakers are outside being horny little sexy buggers and I am an old tired senpai, unimpressed with their intellectual drivel. I'd rather chill with the Borg until I feel like a melted wax statue. Eventually I will have to unplug from the Borg and relearn how to use my senses but the Borg really isn't that bad. It sucked me into the Snyderverse where I was able to sit 4 hours to watch the Snyder cut. I was entertained. Flash wasn't as annoying, Cyborg and Steppenwolf had cool backstories, Batman was cool... the internet trolls were right along. The Snyder cut should have been released! The Borg is my friend.

My tabloid-triggered retrospective of Woody Allen films ongoing, I viewed 'Whatever Works' last night. Seeing Larry David try to act is slightly cringey but he delivers a few laughs. This is Woody Allen's dialogue at it's most cynical and grumpy and I can't say I can't relate with it at times. After watching Woody's films again after a long hiatus I think I can understand with my feminist acquiantances when they say that his stuff has an aire of mysogyny to it. He tends to write from the perspective of the male and you can't really fault him for that, he is a male. And perhaps a sicko perv, allegedly with Whatever Works containing plenty of shots of a beautiful young Evan Wood in her underwear. A joy to shoot, surely... but Allen's writing does delve deeper than the usual shallow Hollywood flair. Sicko mysogynist or not...his work is a notch above the norm. Whatever Works is sweet movie that oozes honey from a pit of universal despair and it comes together succesfully.

My Woody Allen retrospective is ongoing. Tonight I saw Manhattan Murder Mystery. Quite an interesting cinematic exercise and truly another absolutely classic New York picture. Funny to see an aging Woody and Diane Keaton reunite and spark their old magic after a hiatus. Surely Mia Farrow wasn't happy to see him replace her in the starring role and reunite with an old friend but after the traumas of that relationship I'm sure it was exactly what Woody needed artistically and spiritually. Woody's soul completely sold to the silver screen at this point for better or worse. Top notch.

In relation to this: https://www.qbn.com/reply/401098…
My impression is...is the American society becoming more violent because of censure and repression or is the American society becoming more censured and repressed due to violence?

I have been posting too much on QBN lately, I'm having too much fun and going into ADHD-triggered posting rituals with my morning coffee. I have to knock it off, the locals have been complaining. https://www.qbn.com/reply/401089… I may have even triggered a meltdown by the username Peter Pancake due to my consecutive posts on pic of the day. https://www.qbn.com/reply/401089… Luckily, the QBN mods quickly cleaned up the mess. I will have to suck it up, face Uhura and maybe take the Enterprise on a joyride through the galaxy to clear everyones minds from the ongoing Borg pandemic. The crew's monitors have been being bombarded with substandard images which could only be curated by the Borg. Nevertheless, we continue forward. We...will... not be deterred. Computer, end log.

I asked Uhura out. She said I was sweet but she isn't ready to get back into dating. Whatever. I hope Sulu doesn't find out about this.
In other news, Scotty was able to create a virtual reality clone of Abraham Lincoln. The Lincoln clone has been smoking weed and drinking whiskey nonstop all week. He says he misses his Nana. I may have to decommission it, but if it has become sentient Starfleet would not allow it.

Oh wow, it's been 9 or so days since my last log. I'll be sure to clog the toilet this time. So, uhh... nothing much to report. The theater has been packed and everyone has seemed to forget about the Borg. They want to explore the galaxy without our shields. Cocky bastards. I saw Wandavision. It was fine. My thoughts could be found here https://www.qbn.com/reply/401015… Sulu has been hanging out with the guys, I think he will be okay. I want to tap that Uhura ass but it's a delicate situation with Sulu. How much time should I wait before I make a move? Maybe I won't make a move. Maybe, I will be a man of supreme honor. I won't break the man code, I'll ... who am I kidding, I'm a hornball. Could I get cancelled for these thoughts? Computer, end log. Computer...

Things have been deteriorating here on the ship. Sulu broke up with Uhura again. Their constant back and forth has been wearing on the crew. Sulu has been acting like a madman as a result of their toxic shenanigans. Bones had to inject him with some fentanyl just to get him back to his post. The rest of us have been wearing thin from the constant stream of sub-standard chick pics in the chick of the day thread. These are truly horrific low grade porn shots of the worst taste. One girl looked underage with a giant clitoris. Who posts that? Is it art? Maybe. This vile OmahaDesigns is a thorn to us all but we must let his demonic flatulence-like pestulant presence pass... for the good of the ship! When will this Borg pass? Do we take a Borg vaccine and that's that? Hardly. The Borg...is everywhere.
