Westworld (Film)

Source: IMDb

What is it?

The 1973 American science fiction western thriller film Westworld.

What is it about?

This is how Metacritic describes this movie:

For $1,000 a day, vacationers can indulge whims at the theme park called Westworld.

They can bust up a bar or bust out of jail, drop in on a brothel or get the drop on a gunslinger.

It’s all safe: the park’s lifelike androids are programmed never to harm the customers. But not all droids are getting with the program.

[Warner Bros.]

Final Thoughts

My brother GC and I watched this movie earlier this year I think, the new Westworld television show is better, but this movie was not bad for an older movie.

The Queen’s Justice And Visiting My Brothers TD And KD

Source: YouTube

I went to bed very late so I barely got any sleep, and I ended up only remembering only barely part of two dreams.

Dream 1

This dream was inspired by Episode 3 (The Queen’s Justice) of the television show Game Of Thrones (Season 7) that I watched before going to bed.

All that I can remember of this dream is that during the dream various factions on Game Of Thrones were going around trying to recruit new allies.

Each faction would have one or more people from their faction doing their best to recruit new allies by various means (offers, saying how bad the other side is, saying how good their side is, et cetera).

But that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 2

All that I can remember of this dream is that it took place during the day and I was with all of my family except for my brother CC and his family, and we were in a fictional version of the city of  B visiting my brothers KD and TD at a fictional version of L University where they attend.

We drove and walked around the college campus, and at the end of the dream we were driving on grass near several connected one-story buildings that had a small college cafeteria.

Someone (maybe my mom) was explaining how the college was going to remodel the cafeteria and make it bigger, and you could see how far they were going to expand it.

While this was being explained I was probably visualizing it in my mind and comparing it to how it looked now from the outside, and from the inside when I visited it earlier in the dream during the forgotten parts of the dream.

The remodeling was probably going to start soon, but I woke up.

The end,

New Bodies – An Animated Short Film

Source: YouTube

What is it?

The animated science fiction fantasy short film New Bodies by Bo Moore.

What is it about?

This is the video description of this short film by Bo Moore:

A sci-fi/fantasy story set on Mars about girls, queer family and monsters, this short 2D animated film is my major project, the culmination of the end of a four-year Illustration degree at Massey University.

All work was done by Bo Moore, other than the music (pengosolvent.bandcamp.com) and the voice acting (Nina Sumter and Janeen Lansangan).

All animation was done in TVPaint, with some editing in After Effects.

You can also read a description and see some of the art of this short film at:

The Art Of Bo Moore

Final Thoughts

I think that this short film had a unique art style and an interesting concept, but I did not completely understand the ending so it would have been nice if there had been a bit more time to explain things better.

The end,

A Land Dispute

I went to bed too late and when I woke up remembering one or more dreams I went back to sleep because I did not feel like getting out of bed, and so I ended up forgetting all of my dreams except for barely part of one possible dream.

All that I can remember of this possible dreams is that it possibly involved a person or group who were trying to buy some land in maybe the countryside from a family who were possibly members of a Native American tribe but I can not remember.

I can not remember but maybe the area slightly reminded me of the Navajo section of the video game Beyond: Two Souls:

The land had belonged to the ancestors of the family but it now belonged to their descendants, the family, and the family did not want to sell the land even though they may have not been living on it or using it but I can not remember.

The person or group kept trying to get the family to sell the land without luck, and so the person or group then started trying to figure out how to force the sell or take the land from the family.

A land dispute began and the person or group were doing all that they could to win, this person or group had the money and the lawyers and connections et cetera, and so the family were at a disadvantage.

Eminent domain was possibly one way that the person or group would try to get the land.

The family was going to resist no matter what it seemed, they were angry and determined, but that is all that I can remember of this dream.

The end,
