Marco Polo

(The one on Netflix)

I just watched the first episode of Marco Polo and I can’t say why people complain about it. Yes the story feels kind of familiar, but what show doesn’t? Is not the core plot but how do you work it, and for that you have to watch the series and after that you make up your mind. Breaking bad had a familiar core, in the movie “Falling Down” you can see a normal guy breaking and making a difference because he feels in the dumps same core different treatment.

By the things I have seen in the trailer I can be sure that it is not a biographic series but more like and imaginative remake of history with a fantasy touch and that is not bad, I think?

I also heard that “there are only men in the series” well what do were you expecting, in that time women didn’t had a big part on society and if you are going to tell me that they are getting fantasy elements they could put at least a witch, well as far as I know the witches in this kind of subtle fantasy are always hidden and appear later in the story, and there are women, the concubine and the wives are women, that I’m almost sure that they will take more important rolls, because for once there are like 3 promo posters with the girls of the show, one is even wielding a sword. I mean is from Netflix the company that brought “Orange is the new black” that is pretty much an all-female cast.

3 out of 9 posters are female cast so 33.3% and we have fighting smart and powerful women so stop complaining

 The photography and the cinematography look great you cans see where all the money went on this production, and it has that calm and steady passing to get enough tension and important to each scene.

Some people have say that is a poor try of make "Game or Thrones" but I applaud this people to make big budget quality TV, I hope this begins to trend and then we will only have good TV in the future :D

I’ll get a more elaborated review after watching the whole series that will be in like 2 weeks because I think that this series is better to watch it one episode at the time, also I have tons to do now :P

Trying to keep everything alive.

Hello, it’s been some days since my last post, and that is because I’m trying to keep my youtube channel alive and my memecenter account up to date.

I had some pictures already made for my Memecenter account that I haven’t uploaded and I just made a couple, I suck at drawing but is more like the joke than the image, also I think I can get better with time, and eventually who knows, I might even use photo shop to make my so called web comic.

For my Youtube channel I had some videos already made that only needed to edit, and if you know my equipment you might know is not the greatest ever, I have a 5 year old acer aspire one, I use Sony Vegas 7, Photoshop 6, I capture video with windows movie maker, and for locations I use a Kodak easy share V803 to make the videos, so It might take me 4 minutes to edit something but I takes me like 3 hours to render a 10 minutes video.

So but I’m getting the hang of it and I think that now I can make de videos and the posts, and the web comic all the time, so bear with me until I have mastered all of this.

Also I don’t have distractios to take time from me.

Don’t worry I’ll never abandon this blog.

IT’S ALIVE!

Hey! Great news everyone! I have started to multitask all over the place and now I have more than this place for you to see what I’m up to :D

First I have brought back to life my Youtube channel where you can see me bitch about life and talk my life away, also the video review of movies is on the way but one step at the time, that channel is mostly a blog but sometimes I go out and make some fun stuff, also I take requests, and since I shot it, edited, write it, and upload it, by myself I don’t need to ask for permission to do anything :D

If you want to take a look here is the channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Mortenius

Yep, who needs a crew when you have hands?

Also my Memecenter account has moved, I just uploaded a new image there, because I found that one that was on a notebook that I have misplaced, also I have 2 more on queue to upload and one on progress, so at least I have 3 more uploads and be sure I’ll do more. And here is the address for the pictures, if you don't want to go to the about me section: http://www.memecenter.com/Mortenius

If you were wondering, no the drawings here are not mine, I'm not that good, but maybe later.

That and writing on my spare time, and I also give service to the furnace of the heating system of the house, so yes I’m a regular one man army ;)

I'm more like a one man marching band, but you get the idea :P
