WordPress Carpet-Bombing Ads and a Plea
Recently you may have noticed that WordPress has started to put an insane number of adverts on this site – and every other blog with a free plan. I understand the commercial imperative but seriously doubt that carpet-bombing pages with ads creates a higher click rate. Not only that, but the adverts are shitty too… Continue reading WordPress Carpet-Bombing Ads and a Plea

The Fountain and the Road to Awe
The Fountain is a perfect example of the Pisces archetype on film. It’s a visionary love story about the quest for immortality that interweaves three parallel storylines that span a thousand years.

Blade Runner – Part 2: Awakening to Humanity and Freedom
In part 1 we looked at how Blade Runner deals with the thorny issues of memory and identity. The film is deliberately ambiguous in how it presents the characters, both human and replicant, and that provides plenty of fuel for speculation. In this post, we’ll explore the humanity of the replicants and attempt to answer… Continue reading Blade Runner – Part 2: Awakening to Humanity and Freedom

Blade Runner – Part 1: Memory and Identity
Blade Runner is a great example of the Aquarius archetype on film. Based on the Philip K Dick novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the story explores the nature of humanity and the way memories create identity. It flopped when it was first released in 1982, largely due to the unnecessary (and truly awful)… Continue reading Blade Runner – Part 1: Memory and Identity

In 2019 we have the slow build towards the Saturn Pluto conjunction in Capricorn when things could get extremely serious.
