The whole freaking thing a permanent what if…?īut, like-what if reincarnation is totally for real, and there are all these clues, these consistent little evidences that time and space are illusory and we’re basically in a simulacrum where temporal culture is raging out of control, like malware in our human programming, and astrology can help us pinpoint this malware in our inner narrative, and also use the power of analogy, metaphor, and simile to dissect triggers, omens, and other stimuli as they crest upon our consciousness… Your Chiron is just pain, your Saturn is just boo. Without transits, our charts are just computerized photographs of the sky at a time and place, and nothing would change, nothing could even be realized, including your chart’s hypothetical potential, which is what a natal chart actually is > potential. Photos: The Wachowskis Film Jupiter Ascending In Chicago (chicagoist.Here’s my brand new take on transit “trigger” moments > transiting planets (+ Nodes… + asteroids) are basically stimuli, or engines.Channing Tatum: Shirtless for ‘Jupiter Ascending’ ().Here’s to hoping it has some tooth to it beyond its visual appeal and that it doesn’t mine Marissa Meyers’ books much further than the premise already suggests. Visually, from what photos have been released, it looks to be a spectacle, but a great film has to provide more than just visual titillation. Of course, much the same as been said of Keanu and The Matrix was somehow his exception from his usual acting approach, so perhaps the Wachowskis are preternaturally adept at working wonders with a fit, but previously mediocre actor. I am hoping the rest of the cast, the writing, and the direction will save the film from Tatum’s wooden acting. I am still pretty excited about seeing this release, although I am not at all a fan of Channing Tatum, so that does put a bit of a dampener on some of my enthusiasm. The Matrix was an inspired work of immense Dystopian beauty, but the sequels were less than stellar and a bit tedious, and Cloud Atlas, their most recent endeavor, didn’t do so well, commercially. How exactly are they getting away with putting out a film that sounds so much like an already established book series? Have The Lunar Chronicles been optioned and this is the result? Is this film not based on these books and there are going to be enough differences that the similar constructs will not matter? Will we even care once we see this film? I just don’t know based on the information that has been released.įor my part, I hope this outing is better than some of their previous ones. Both have a lower class, menially employed, female character with an odd tie to an intergalactic queen and also have a male mercenary sporting the added bonus of wolf DNA. As much as I love a Wachowski film and was looking forward to this new release, it just sounds a little too much like the great YA book series, The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer ( Cinder and Scarlet are the two books of the planned four that have been released so far.). Evidently, Caine, a half human/half wolf mutant, played by Tatum is sent to kill Jupiter, the janitor (hee) and it all has to do with that pesky genetic destiny. The latter portrays a lowly janitor who discovers she has a unique genetic destiny that may be linked to the Queen of the Universe. Well, this film is set in the future and will star Hollywood’s latest bland beefcake, Channing Tatum and the exotically cute and sensual, Mila Kunis. It really is none of my business what gender a person wants to be, and I hold no judgment about the issue other than I love Lana’s be-dreaded, Kool Aid-colored, Raggedy Ann hairdo–so let’s take a look at what this new Sci Fi film from the genius, Wachowski sibling team is supposed to be about This summer I saw photos at Io9 of some of the characters from the upcoming film, Jupiter Ascending, looking like something straight out of Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette crossed with albino-ed Cyberpunk, but I admit that until today, I knew little else of the new Wachowski sibling film –I also somehow missed the memo about Larry becoming Lana some time in the last three years, but whatever.
