19/03/25 Culture, Media and the Icon. By Warren A. Lyon. Click here. If a movie character could be your school teacher, an example of that manhood or citizen hood, what do you get when you watch it? Is he a figment of the colonizers position and authority over you born with a suit on his back inside that British Marque sports car to be hated, attacked on the High Road or Seven mile beach and resented; or do you see an airport worker and mail courier that was faithful in his humble duty that became a police officer and Navy staffer in faithful submission to the Lord and King in due course over many, many years of service? To demonstrate that he is just a book and movie character, they will, as rumoured present a CGI Bond of all the previous Bond Characters in the modern era with current set and 2026 model prop cars. They could also drop a sequel in or prequel with a CGI Connery on his real first mission in Germany in 1961, recovering the King's cricket bat that was stolen and sold to the Germans for it's DNA. His assistant is a Black woman that looks like Eartha Kitt. It would be called Dr. Yes(Bond 26) or maybe Tom Cruise or Richard Gere could play Bond. There was a program I watched for a few weeks; "A Town Called Malice." The guy changed the fence gate on his neighbour's yard when he went out of town and hoped his neighbour would never return. When asked why, he said he thought his neighbour asked him to do it and then paid him $2560 as an apology, being confident in his own mind that this would win the argument with the police but not as an apology. When he was not arrested right away, he also changed the patio stones since he thought this is just how a small home should feel with very little green lawn or yard for farming; with only a small patch of grass. It reminds of some cousins and relatives I may have met in a summertime trip to Manchester once when l was a 10 years old in the 1970's or 1980's. There is an English family that moves to Spain and they do their best to settle in with the Spaniards. The father, one night, goes dancing with his wife and children as they make a deal with local residents to build a beach side hotel. The old Spanish man asks the father's English wife to dance at the party and it's Flamenco dancing. She looks Polish but could be part Spanish and she really gets into it with the Spanish man's hands entwined in hers. It's just culture I guess ( right?) and if you are Spanish you would understand. There is no need to be emotional, territorial and get violent. It's just a dance with your new business partners. But the English father boiled over in a visible jealousy. He might have asked, "...what do I do with me, wretched man that I am"; like in Romans 7. There is also a program called Moses on Netflix and I have not watched that yet but it promises to teach us something. Maybe we can discuss that another day. But, when you watch that movie; if it's the Terminator, the Batman, The Hulk or the Bond movie; what happens to the English guy or any guy who is watching it with his wife or girlfriend and it seems some may get jealous of their wife's affections? Anyway, the actor is just a regular looking guy and if you saw him walking down the Scottish road in Dundee in 1961, you might say he looks like the overground train employee, bus driver or maybe the copper. He is just a regular guy. So, what is he doing on my TV in this movie and if my neighbor is the Lord of Dundee, then who is this guy now that has become some movie Icon? My father says he used to work with him at the bread factory, driving the truck to the shops. Who is the Law graduate, getting an acknowledgement or attention on Sunday at Mass for passing his exams? Who is he and why would I feel jealous? Why do I have to feel biblically wrong when I feel jealous and why do I have to apologize; why? Who can save me from this wretched man that I am? What does God have to do with how I feel when I want to just react, express but how do I do it without getting arrested and I might be the pastor some day so I have to learn how to do it, be me and not totally submissive to this God, and get away with it. How can a Cro-Magnon be a pastor? Maybe I...let air out of the tires to express how I feel or I put my finger in their drink as the waiter if I work as the waiter. Maybe Herod asked "why" quite a lot as the half monkey Assyrian presumptive kingly new arrival, covetous of the throne of Israel as he made all kinds of deals with the Romans to have it but he was not really in to that old Israeli Leviticus stuff once he got the throne of Israel since why can't he just do what he feels; he asked? He killed John the Baptist for telling him anything about God and to desist from marrying his brother's wife. You have to be careful and I would never get into that with those kind of kingly people but you might want to ask him how does it look, reflect on the...and maybe John did not know the whole story anyway?" This type of thing (need to be the....have to be no matter what the law or God) is not soo good when you would want free and fair elections but it could never Joe happen in the modern era. You don't want to feel jealous because it is a low grade human emotion and you are a Vicar or Cardinal's son. The guy in church; he's just any average guy as an old guild mechanics graduate and now he gets the bus mechanics job or tube job worth £70.00 per hour. The law office dude who is a law school "wannabe" who never really applied helps five people a week at $500.00 per question and he asks a Law masters graduate to answer them who is only paid $225.00 per question. The Law School "wannabe" has at least learned how to be a good middle man when he gets $275 per question from the $500.00. A letter for the Court/Tribunal is included. In the movie, it's the story, costume or clothing director that makes it work. It is the set and the scenes. It is the energy of the entire production. Is there a bible on top of the camera or a Torah because this could help; the energy? Your children might just watch it. I am using Dr.No as an example. The movie was supposed to be called Dr. Yes. It's the good story that we want, morally balanced like a modern day bible story, the Grendel tale that involves that tension between our good hopes and the thwarting of the downwardly selfish interrupter. You have the exotic scenes with the protagonist driving down a mountain road in Jamaica or Japan in a brand new Aston Martin on the way to stop the Judas Herod minion who has sold out King and Country, leaving the lives of the English people at risk in their economy. Canadians and others come to take their place in housing for a few pounds more per month after the maintenance worker has thrown out the old English white man, the Black man, the English woman. The maintenance worker asked for £10.00 to buy his lunch the old white man called him "wanker", he went to Morrisons for his daily bag of sausage rolls and when he came back, the lock was changed. He called housing maintenance and would not answer. He spent the night at the Standard Hotel near King's Cross and checked again the next day. He saw these travelers (20 year old kids really), walking around in his unit. He called the police finally and they took down the travelers as trespasser terrorists since it is government property; good!! The maintenance worker was taken also as a terrorist trespasser since it was his original trespass on the government property. He was in the middle of making his daily roast leg of Jonathan Swift or Lamb for dinner with mint sauce and asparagus when they broke down his door. He bought the leg at the Anglican Church building that now operates perversely, conversely as a restaurant. The Mission Impossible movies and TV shows are good examples of that right combination that rests first and foremost, primarily on the good story. The actor drops into the suits and clothing nicely. They show the emotions the director is looking for but there is this guy in the back of the theater who says it should be him in the movie, on the screen. He just quit playing football for Tyneside FC; a division 3 team and he is hoping his wife does not give him the movie for his birthday or say they should see it again since what does she really want? He wants to know where the actor lives and is now wiping the actor's front door with rat poison and Lysol. That is crazy when he is just an actor. The actor; he does not know you, is not bothering you or your territory, your woman. This is just the risk you take when you become the Actor and Icon in the media, in society with these Cro-Magnon men and women around with their underdeveloped hypothalamus; (cooking and cleaning, lifting weight, wearing lipstick and fooling us that they are fitting in). But, if the Herod came back today, as resurrected, and found his way into work as a housing maintenance worker or as a postal worker, bank employee or police officer, what does he do and how does he do it? Does he ask who is Caesar, who is the king and why can't I just take and do what I want, why do I have to respect who is on the coin? We also ask who is the Judas orphan creature or who says he must choose someone (he said "I chose you" in his mind's eye as the one from whom I must take inheritance) from whom to inherit and it is often covetously someone other than his own family members, mother or father that he says has something that he would like to compete in a race over the imaginary envisioned assets that the chosen victim family's children would be in order to receive. So, this bastard is also impatient and mat try to hasten the death of those children and so also the mother or father of that family, intent to win and now he is convicted for his conspiracy to murder the woman for the Kennedy Road property just south of Highway 7; something about she is only a Black West Indian in his scavenger game. There is no church congregation or Catholic Faith that he could imagine gives him the freedom of mind to do this; not does it sympathetically protect this. You broke the offering cup. We are entitled to our emotions but not all our reactions. There could be a Haitian cult that would think they can kill and steal from his neighbour and the Church will embrace them with fellowship, the police will cheer them on. But, I don't see anything like this in our Catholic world. You are certainly convicted. My life is my identity so what is it that you did really want? Lef me; nuh? Don't worry about it; if I was educated, I would not be an early school leaver...lost in space....last in the class in the global economy. But, I must have an education and I know people well. I could read my accounts, dem. If I do not have an education, how will I know when they try to rob we? Oh; wretched man that they or we are (if we do not cooperate with enjoying community and society, giving way when necessary socially like on the motorway or else we see collision, conflict), since who can save us from this law in the flesh of sin and death? So, this is what we suggest so that we know its over; There is nothing wrong with a grey Bond so maybe bring back Brosnan for a movie. The actor has his pay packet. The director could use you. He could use anyone. He signed a contract. He also signed to buy Frost Byte(TM) but you don't believe in signing anything. You want to kill him for the $5000.00 he requested on signing per location and the $80.00 per day in intellectual property payment for use of the Frost Byte ™ intellectual property. We also could maybe bring back a young Roger Moore with CGI and a young Sean Connery for a movie or two, driving that new 2025 Aston Martin and we might see the baddie from SPECTRE reprise his role in these same, new sequels with 009 in the office since they got it right; we are not soo negatively racialized in society but there is that unusual very selfish interruption in the middle of that family's nuptials on vacation or in their kitchen in that home invasion. Someone is asking who are they to have a kitchen while the home invader needs all of your attention and so he will break in, spit in your plum juice, your soy milk and then just go away..but then he comes back to spit again? He is asking, who is he to have a small firm or a technology company that sells intellectual property called Alusra (TM) (family)? You only "live" twice but not to kill twice. Someone wants to ask what do we mean by "live" ? There is no point asking us if they are trying to get your attention, if they know about you why they write these movies that get your attention. No one is threatening you, a Cro Magnon man, in the production of any movie since its just a movie with just actors; if they knew you believe you are the lost, true King of France or the King of Haiti. You broke into the new condo building, you said you own it, you started preying on the weak and vulnerable, asking them for $20.00 at the front door so you can buy lunch but you do not even have a job in the building. You said, you will call the police on them the next day if they don't leave since you don't believe the housing letter they have is real after they showed it to you; so they left and now the housing officer who wrote the letter wants to know what Icon are you; representing what; the TOSCA of North Sherbrooke or Hamilton, Ontario? The new leader in that country but for the second time; is he a Haitian, the new King of Haiti? What movie character would he be; maybe the Wizard of Oz or the Ray Crock? That can be a good thing. What do you need; a heart or a brain or both? This article is really about movies; not politics. James Bond was a good media surrogate father for any kid to find the call of service; as a servant for Monarch and country or wouldn't you watch the movie and resenteth the movie character? You would have to be trusted not only as a good soldier but potentially a good butler also. You did not put your spit in the kettle. The Anglo and their culture, for many, is cruelty and phenomenally the losing global culture in the real experience but often cuddly, jugular entertaining in the media so this culture has to ask a few questions; What is it that we are really saying and doing in front of a watching world. what are your people and where do they live anywhere in this world if you do not say they are worth at least a confident, uninterpreted £30,000.00 a year; beasts of no nation? We can never presume that women have any more heart or brain in any socioeconomic and political issue. This is not the English culture I know and thank God for in history so how or what really happened and when? It could be Colonial DNA blow back with angry resistant DNA from the colonies being given apology resurrections in some part of the English world since they were executed without any formal English trial. Why are the banks cutting the benefits in two and how does the bank manager Annette bad social worker interrupt the government intentions and pay less than what was intended to the recipient and more to others that they say should get more? The bank employee committed a fraud on the government. They took from one white guy and gave to another white guy who was less English but more South African. It was not racial but she also sextorted the more English guy if he did not want to...beg for his full benefit payments. The movie seems to have captured some of what is going in society with some Zero Day orphan's soul locked in the computer now and its trying to get to where you are intended to go next, asking to block you, interrupt the whole world, so he can have all of our attention when we are just trying to get on with life; and be thankful for the $3.45 per hour we get as income support benefits. .
