i find it objectively hilarious that the leaders of a thriving, self-sustained underground oligarchy/cult went to all the effort of going above ground to pedo stalk a filthy teenage boy who is just running around in the desert, vibing, and scratching his pale little ass while slurping beans from a can and burping, and thought "yes, that one. god's little idiot will make an excellent sperm donor. we will rebuild society in his image"

So going through Hulu and saw The Shield and I decided to rewatch the pilot which I hadn’t seen since it first aired.
I forgot how amazing this show was and how good Michael Chiklis was in this. Vic Mackey really is one of the most complex and compelling characters ever!!!
Shout out to the amazing cast CCH Pounder, Benito Martinez, Catherine Dent, Walter Goggins, and Kenny Johnson.
Special shout out to Jay Karnes…Dutch was also compelling (and a jerk that you’re not supposed to like) and the episode he strangled the cat to see what it felt like to take a life is still one of the most disturbing scene.

If you haven’t seen it…check it out on Hulu.

International Sculpture Day
International Sculpture Day is observed on the last Saturday of April every year and this year, it falls on April 29. It is an internationally recognized holiday that commemorates the art of sculpture and sculpted works. Sculptures are a type of visual art that is three-dimensional. Stone sculptures have been proven to last significantly longer than other works of art made of perishable materials, and they account for the vast bulk of all surviving non-pottery art from ancient cultures to this day. Sculptures have always been a major component of religious devotion in many cultures, and enormous sculptures were commonly used to represent religion or politics until recently. The ancient Mediterranean, India, and China, as well as various cultures in Central and South America and Africa, have the most surviving sculptures.
History of International Sculpture Day
The first undisputed sculpture pieces came from the Aurignacian culture in Europe and southwest Asia, which was active at the start of the Upper Paleolithic period. This culture developed well-crafted stone tools, pendants, ivory beads, and other forms of art. They are also attributed to being the first to create cave art and three-dimensional figures.
The Löwenmensch, found in Germany’s Hohenstein-Stadel area, is an anthropomorphic figure carved from mammoth ivory. It is believed to be one of the oldest known uncontested examples of figurative art, standing at 0.9 inches tall. Most prehistoric art that has survived to this day is movable sculptures found throughout central Europe.
The Swimming Reindeer from around 13,000 years ago is one of the greatest Upper Paleolithic Magdalenian bone carvings, however, it is outnumbered by engraved pieces, which are sometimes considered sculptures. The Tuc d’Audoubert caves in France, where a talented sculptor used a spatula-like stone tool and his fingers to build a pair of large bison against a limestone rock tens of thousands of years ago, are home to two of the world’s largest prehistoric sculptures.
Much of the figurative sculpture in Europe at the beginning of the Mesolithic era has been greatly reduced. These sculptures have remained less of a common element in art other than relief decoration of practical objects until the Roman period, despite works such as the Gundestrup cauldron from the European Iron Age and the Bronze Age Trundholm sun chariot.
The Mesopotamian conquest, as well as much of its surrounding territory by the Assyrians, created a larger and wealthier state than was previously usual in the region, with particularly grandiose art in palaces and public places, clearly an attempt to match the glory of the Egyptian empire art. The Assyrians created their sculptures in great numbers using easily carved stones from Northern Iraq.

International Sculpture Day FAQs
Which country is famous for sculpture?
The Western sculpture tradition originated in ancient Greece, and the country is well-known for producing great masterpieces during the classical period. During the Middle Ages, Gothic sculpture expressed the Christian faith’s agonies and emotions.
Does the date for International Sculpture Day change?
Yes. The date for International Sculpture Day is the last Saturday of April every year.
Where did sculptures originate?
The earliest sculpture samples belonged to the Aurignacian culture, which was in Europe and southwest Asia and was active at the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period.

Retrospective Review: Jurassic World (2015)
This is a movie that I remember watching very clearly. In an absolutely full theater, I watched this in an IMAX screening on its opening Saturday. I was so excited to have a new Jurassic movie after 14 years, with Chris Pratt being hot off GOTG, where he was great, and a concept which was something I always wanted to see, which is a functioning park with Dinosaurs in it. I thoroughly enjoyed the film in its release and clearly a lot of people did too, given the massive success it had. I have watched it many times, and though people have started to put down the film in recent years, I think its the 2nd best of the series, just ahead of TLW. An opinion that reaffirmed rewatching the film last night.
This is a genuinely well made, well paced film, which gave me what I wanted. No, its not as good as the first Jurassic Park film and its certainly doesn't delve into the questions of the science in the type of ways the original did, but it is absolutely fun. The film has an excellent intro, with the birth of the Indominus Rex. It really pulls you into the idea that this creature is unnatural right from the very beginning. The film introduces the two JW kids, in Zach and Gray. Its smart how the film introduces the park through the eyes of the kids, and we certainly see some of the awe through Gray, and it also sets up that the world has gotten used to Dinosaurs, through the reaction of Zach. The film then introduces us to Claire and the grown I-Rex, and subsequently Owen and the pack of Raptors. The film does a neat job showing a functioning Dinosaur park. The parallels to Universal Studios and Sea World are very obvious. The park feels like it could exist. I got a good chuckle out of little touches, like the Jaws reference with the Mosasaurus, and the exhausted and disinterested park employee overseeing the line for the ride. It all rang very true.
I think the film does a good job introducing the I-Rex as a terrifying beast and they expand on the Velociraptor mythology by emphasizing on the intelligence. The bond between Owen and the Raptors, particularly Blue, is well depicted. The film spends the first half hour or so setting up the various characters and their dynamics and the central Dinosaurs, before the Indominus finally breaks out. The breakout sequence is fairly chilling. Trevorrow also does a fairly good job of not showing the Indominus in its full until a little later. There is a sense of mystery surrounding the creature. I also really like the design of the Indominus. It looks distinctive and feels actually like a mix of the T-Rex and a Velociraptor, which are the main Dinosaurs of the series. I think the I-Rex works really well as the villain for the movie because there is a genuine threat level throughout the movie with it rampaging through the Park. The film also has got a bright visual palette and so its a very inviting film in that way. The SFX are also much better so we are able to see the Dinosaurs in broad daylight. The film has a constant momentum to it after the I-Rex breakout. Also, I liked that they managed to talk about how the Dinosaurs in JW aren't exactly how they would have actually looked like. The gradual progression in paleontology since the first JP has led to many new discoveries about Dinosaurs and the film cleverly uses the genetic splicing idea as a way to fill the hole as to why the Dinosaurs as we have seen, don't hold up to what science says about them. I honestly felt it was quite realistic that the film leant into the gene splicing and species hybrids. It just felt like the next logical step in the evolution of the science. They also do a pretty good job showing the commercialization of the Dinosaurs and the Parks.
The action sequences are terrific. The Birdcage sequence, the Raptor attack sequence, all the I-rex attack sequences are excellent, but the climax is what makes me giddy as a school boy. Watching the I-Rex square off against the T-Rex, Velociraptor, and eventually the Mosasaurus is something I never knew I wanted. Its dumb, but glorious in the best way possible. I like to think that all these felt that that the I-Rex was something truly unnatural and didn't belong in the ecosystem. That really made the movie for me and I remember the audience in the theater absolutely loved it.
Now, the film definitely isn't perfect. The Raptor as weapons storyline has always struck me as something that is a bit too unrealistic and goofy even for this series. I just don't buy the idea that the military would want to use carnivorous creatures that can turn on you, as weapons. To the film's credit, Owen and Omar Sy's character seem to find the idea just as ridiculous as I did. The human villains in this movie are weak. The film doesn't really use Vincent D'Onofrio to his full potential. Its never really clear what level of authority he has in the Park and who he really works under. Its all handled in pretty vague terms. There are also some other characters, like Masrani, who feel like they are underused. There feels like there could have been more potential to the character but he's killed off rather abruptly. The two kids are also a little rough in the first 40 mins or so, but once they are forced into survival mode, they actually proved to be pretty good. There is also a somewhat oddly violent death of Katie McGrath's Zara. Its a scene that stands out as something almost a little meanspirited as to how drawn out that death scene was, almost to point of being comical.
The performances are solid. Pratt and Howard aren't exactly being stretched that much but they both have screen presence. Pratt uses his innate likability to good effect. He has a few fun touches in his role, like how he smirks while riding through the jungle with the Raptors, as even he is realizing how awesome this is. Howard's character is truly the protagonist of this film as she has the most clearly defined arc in this film, going from a detached businesslike park runner, to someone who embraces a maternal instinct towards her nephews and learns to appreciate the Dinosaurs as animals. Jake Johnson adds some fun humor to the proceedings as a control room employee. Ty Simpkins and Nick Robinson are solid as Gray and Zach. Irrfan Khan makes the most out of his screentime as Masrani. He shares some good scenes with BD Wong, who returned to the franchise with this film. Vincent D'Onofrio also does the best with what he's got. Omar Sy, Katie McGrath, and Judy Greer round out the cast effectively.
All in all, I am a die hard defender of this movie. No, this is not a JP classic but its a lot of fun. Trevorrow nails the tone and the pacing of the film. It doesn't go on for too long. Michael Giacchino's music is also memorable. Overall, this movie is an 8.5/10 for me.
