Re: Barbie/Fulla, where do we stand?

I wouldn't normally pay attention to any post considering political or religious views but I have to agree on every word you've mentioned here.
But the thing that got me more into this post is the fact that you've mentioned spacetoon, I used to really love this channel as a child (although even as a child I knew the conflict between Israel, the country I was born and still living in, and most of the middle eastern countries; that, however, didn't really matter to me, all I cared about was the cartoon. One day, there was some sort of advertisement (I'm not sure how to call it) displaying little guys crawling from the countries surrounding Israel into it and turning the flag into the palastanian flag instead.
Now I didn't know what that meant by the time or why the hell they were viewing such material on a kids cartoon channel; I didn't really understand what kind of message they were trying to pass was it "Hey kids, let's chase the Jews away!" or "let's try to find a better way."? Now this random rant is just an example of yet another political issue they were forcing on KIDS, I'm not saying displaying the issue for debate, I'm saying forcing because they're KIDS, the easiest creatures to brainwash on the planet.
Now back to the Fulla issue, I actually liked it at first, but then it hit me, I'm not a Muslim, I'm an Arab but why would this display an Arabic girl or represent me? I don't wear a hijab, I don't have morning/evening prayer, I don't agree in 3/4 percent of the values she's trying to teach either ,what the hell?
Did they even take into consideration that there are maybe a non-Muslim population in middle eastern countries?
But that's not the issue here, it's getting more personal because my little brother is also watching Spacetoon.
On a side note: they totally ruined Ranma 1/2 for me with the stupid dub.

I am a moslem girl (not in Saudi) and I play Barbie instead of Fulla. I feel no difference between Barbie and Fulla; I even dress my Barbie in hijab which my mom made for her. She's just look as beatiful as she should be ;)
I also agree with the writer, it's unwise to use any nationality, religion and/or belief as advertising.

This is a perfect example of how a western company is not sensitive to a foreign culture, Mattel is only continuing to lose ground to Fulla in an international girl fight.

It was simply boring. The "symbolism" as-it-were, was obvious though a bit convoluted.
I felt like I deserved a refund though I downloaded a pirated copy.

its probably not a good film to watch if you want movies that get straight to the point, i'll give you that. *puts on stoner voice* its all about the journey man :P

Re: “The Holy Mountain” … What!?

Pappajojones — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 18:56:46 -0000

I guess either you can see its genius or you cant. If you don't get it, i think that doesn't entitle you to fill your review with opinionated negativity. Your trying to understand an experimental film by putting it into quite standard and well established genres: comedy, adventure, fantasy. Thats where the problem is, if you watch it again maybe try just going with the flow of it, sometimes the joy of art is that it doesnt have to always make sense and be something that you can dissect into its individual parts and get satisfaction out of knowing that you understand it completely. I personally think its equally as fun to have your mind challenged with something unexpected and baffling.

I'm not religious, I don't believe in God at all, but I am well aware and versed in religious history. I am, in fact(I say "in fact" here because the pop culture meaning of the word has degraded the term to mean something similar to the ideas spouted in the Matrix or from the mouth of an idiot on too much acid), a philosopher and I think this film has crap for content. What is it? It is a 1970's art film, nothing more. Clockwork Orange is a cult classic, Rocky Horror is a cult classic, Erasorhead is a cult classic - but you know what, this is an overglorified, overindulgent, and absolutely ridiculous attempt at making a point. Yeah, I get the idea that is meant to be conveyed, but I think, for the most part, a good half of the movie could have been cut out since it contained no substance whatsoever.

I’m going to miss Smallville when it’s over. At first, Smallville was a show that I couldn’t get into, but lately I like the way they incorporated all the characters into the series. I can’t wait until the finale to see how the series will end, but for now I’ll continue to enjoy Smallville in high quality HD. I just got my new HDTV and HD free for life from DISH Network and you can too! I am a customer/employee of DISH Network and you can find more info on how to get HD free for life online at DISH Network’s official website.

u stayed until 5 am trying to figure out what yourself is?!, then u decided to keep it as a secret and instead switched to tell others to maintain their originality and not adapt what others have adapted for themselves, i think such a thing is good, in that it stops that vicious cycling of the common stereotypes in Jordan. i see copies everywhere and i might possibly be wearing someone else's glasses. u care about spelling in one hate email? what if that person is a good speller? what else can u then hold against him?
you can draw and also you excel in using words to express ur own identity! that is impressive because I can never possibly do either! thus i feel i am rich from the inside just the way you feel about yourself. when you read this post, if you have time, give me the chance to chat a little with you, that would be great i guess. cheers!

Maybe you're religious and I could understand why you took your time to write your blah blahs about this movie and to share with the world how dumb you were on the day you saw it. It is an epic story about the creation of religions that made me cry from laughter. I think this movie should be seen by everyone.

I'm hella late on this, but i'm still commenting! I think that is one thing that I realized this year. My own epiphany was that being in my own bubble can be dangerous. Im such a day dreamer that when things all around me is chaos, i stick to my head, and well, as you see, ive been "stuck" in my situation for almost 2 years, because in my head, i create stories that let me survive.. it sounds like the girl in Pans Labyrinth, with her day dreaming up characters to keep her sane.. So sometimes, staying in your bubble makes things worse, it makes you not realize when things truly are bad and when you need to face your fears head on to overcome them... Mans worse enemy is fear.. Im actually trying to figure out how to create that concept in a body of work...

I miss you friend, send me an update, but not on Facebook, some damn bastard hacked it and i cant get in... you know any hackers who can get it back for me?

By the way, the plan is for me to leave Saturday... <3
