Do you know this girl?

Hey! Look who’s back, yes me. It’s been a long time since my last post and that is completely my fault. Yes I had a job in the slave side of the spectrum and I every day I ended dead, but that is not excuse to not write a little even if nobody is going to read it. Sometimes I have people visiting, now and then looking for girls in underwear, that I have in this blog. But that was an article, well two, and not click bait.

Some pictures have Russian letters by name so I think that at least the scammer was from Russia.

Well now I have a piece I want to write and because my FB is a minefield and I can’t basically talk to anyone well I’ll just scream to a wall or the more similar that I have that is this blog.

I thought it could be real with just a little part of my brain.

OK, if you know or not I have an interpals account, is a website where you get people to write, penpals, you can get friends or help to learn a language by practice, basically nobody talks to me there, not even the ones I send messages asking for conversation or help me to learn Russian. Sometimes I get the sporadically obvious scam where someone say “Hello friend, give me your mail and we will talk” most likely they are from Africa or Middle East and I just ignore them, and the accounts disappear in a couple of weeks, but days ago, I got a message from a girl, a pretty girl, every cell in my body told me that it was a trap, it was a scam, but even so I decided to answer, I mean what’s the worst it could happen, that ask me for money I don’t have? So I answered and we started a conversation for some days, and I never fully trusted the letters, because they felt like a template, no heart no personal touch, but every letter came with a pictures sometimes two sometimes three and one part of me wanted to be real. Until the moment she asked me for money, and I say she but I don’t know if was a girl or a guy on the other side, what I’m sure of is that it wasn’t the girl in the pictures. I said I had no money and the conversations stopped immediately.

If you know her name or who she is let me know.

There were a lot of signs, the form of writing wasn’t proper for a Russian speaker, the letters felt like a template, the pictures all came from stock photos from the internet, Facebook, or VK, totally dodging the point of giving more information or getting a face to face Skype conversation, I checked the weather when told me it had been a nice day and I saw that they had been at 12C max, and most important, a pretty girl like that started a conversation with me. For you to get an idea of how I look people have said about my looks in pictures:

-You look like a cartel enforcer.

-You look like the pain of the dojo.

-You look like you want to kill somebody.

-You look angry

-Even if you smile you look dangerous

-I will not approach to you on the street.

And that last one was said by my mother, so yes I’m the kind of guy who has to put an effort and approach a girl and show her that I’m not the big bad wolf and she has nothing to fear from me.

But now here is my social service and the reason this post got this name. I want to find this girl, the girl in the pictures, just to let her know that somebody is using her pictures to scam people. The scammer said her name was Maria Masha and she lived in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia. Her e-mail was marymasha12@hotmail.com.

I don’t know how much of this information has some use or even if it is real, or all made up and the girl is not even from Russia. For all I know the girl from the pictures can be living 2 blocks from where I live and be Mexican. Or is a model, a singer or an actress and all the pictures are in her Instagram.

What I do know is that she has or had a hairless cat and a tattoo of a dolphin and a crescent moon on her right thigh.

This is the tattoo she has on her right thigh, and no I'll not post the whole picture, the girl deserves some privacy.

She also said she was a waitress and my sister in law deducted that from this picture, but could be an actress and this is just part of a play or a film.

If you know who this girl is make her know that I would like to talk to her, or at least let her know that someone is using her pictures and just leave a comment saying that she already knows.

She likes to take pictures.

Also if you have been contacted by scammers let me know and let your story there.

Well is good to be back on the writing side of society and I hope I can keep doing it on regular basis.

See y’all (Yes I’m in Texas by the time being)

and I leave you with a bunch of pictures for you to see if you can find her.

and we say goodbye with a kiss :P

Chronicle

Yes I saw Fantastic Four, the new one (Actually I have seen the 4 movies already, yes the 1994 made by Roger Corman too) but I’m not going to make a review of it, why? Because What can I say about it that has not been said yet, the movie is horrible and should never have been green lighted.

But with that in mind before watching Fantastic Four I watched “Chronicle” the movie that convinced people that Josh Trank could make a movie, so I think my review should be for this movie because is his “opera prima” that’s Latin for his best work (if you take it literally means first work, but we will stick to number one work)

So why Chronicle was so acclaimed and Fantastic Four so terrible? Did power go over his head? Did everything got out of hand because of the big budget? Or, and this is my point of view, he just plain suck and doing internet videos is his “non plus ultra” (Latin for “the best that can be achieved” Look at us using Latin twice already, I feel so smart and proper)

So without any more I give you the review of:

Chronicle

The movie starts as any found footage starts, someone setting a camera (So we start with the wrong foot) and the guy setting it have problems with his father (Seriously can this be more cliché?—Uh now we use French—) Well the movie moves along but if you pay a little attention you might see that there is no plot for the movie, is just like a bunch of internet videos all mashed up together. If you don’t believe me just make this little exercise, watch any scene of the movie and think “would I get the plot of the movie if this were the first scene?” The answer is always yes. The character of Michael B. Jordan is totally useless for the plot, the guy appears in the middle of the story then dies and it has no impact, also the character of the girlfriend is also irrelevant, just happens to be there.

So you might get what I’m trying to say, this movie is poorly written and the visual effects are fine for a youtube video made by some random guy with his friends but this was a studio film and the effects were made by people that earns their living by doing this. There is no character development in this series of videos (I refuse to call it a movie any more) even the gimmick of being found footage doesn’t work if you know a little of a camera, which is, the image and resolution changes from one device to another. When the camera gets destroyed and he gets a new one, it should have been a change on the image like in “The Wizard of Oz” or in “Oz the Great and Powerful” (God save us I’m referring to that movie as a good example) but no, is always the same image, same resolution, same frame rate, same filter, not even the format changes from fullscreen to widescreen to “tallscreen” (that’s when a person records with his/her phone in a vertical way) Who would know that and iPhone has the same picture quality than a TV station camera?

I'm almost sure that Sue Storm was added on post production and re-shoots

 

The point is that all the signs where there if you just look, but people watch it as they watch a viral video, so it got popular and then forgotten, but also shows all the problems Josh Trank have as a director and a person, because let’s see, Daddy issues, yes in Chronicle and in Fantastic Four, not knowing how to  handle a story, Chronicle has no story and Fantastic Four is horrible, not knowing how to work a female character or an actress Chronicle is totally irrelevant  and in Fantastic Four looks like he keep her out deliberately (is like this guy hates women or something). To me I think is a little better a director like Michael Bay (Man am I using Michael Bay as a good example, this guy is in trouble) that puts sexualizes women and put stock characters on the films because at least he us using female characters, and let’s face it lots of people uses stock characters and some have been applauded by it, cough True Detective cough! So it might not be the ideal to sexualize anyone but that is better than just set them aside and try to ignore the fact that the title demands you to put Sue Storm on the film.

As I said, sexualize Sue Storm is not ideal but also let's remember that some women actually like to cosplay lie this.

 So am I willing to watch another movie of this guy? Hell no, Do I hope he gets another job? If is as far from a film it can be is OK with me. That man deserves a restriction order from the film industry.

Concussion or how to change a story to be more likely to get an Oscar.

I haven’t seen the movie, because it is not out damn there is not even a proper poster of the film but I’m almost sure I’ll not watch it unless is an Oscar nominee and my brother make me see it.

Why the aversion to a movie about the one thing I watch the NFL for? Well because it is less accurate than the documentaries about disinformation you like so much.

This movie follows a doctor from Kenia that he by himself brought the attention of the world to the biggest problem of the NFL, Concussions. The problem is that it wasn’t him. Yes he was part of the team that work on that but the one that actually started all was a college football player, professional wrestler and Harvard graduate Christopher Nowinski. As the saying goes “Nobody learns on someone else’s head” I suppose this makes a little more sense in Spanish, any way this guy got his fair share of concussions while playing football in high school and college and decided to see how far this would go so started to research, and start gathering a team to help him among them the guy from this movie Dr. Bennet Omalu.

So there was a team but it was Nowinski who was the face of the movement, he was the one that went to the houses of the players and ask their families if he could perform an autopsy on their recently deceased loved ones. It was Nowinski who wrote the book that made everybody turn to the NFL and not only that but also show that even in the kids games there are concussions, no matter how strong are the helmets. And yes it was Nowinski who faced the NFL in press conferences.

I think people is not ready for a white guy to be the good guy much less a wrestler Harvard graduate

 But I know is way more interesting to write the story of a man who came from Africa and exposed the evil corporation because he believed in the American dream, than a white Harvard graduate that saw the problem because he was affected by it. That is no Oscar material, maybe if we make him stupid but not full retard now that is something I can sell.

If you are interested in the documentary to see all the team working on it is called Head Games and is on Hulu and Google Play.
