"the devil's advocate"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"The Devil's Advocate"
Hands down to Andrew Neiderman for writing this book. Hands down to Taylor Hackford for the movie adaptation.
This movie is a genesis of me liking men older than me. It is one of these movies that you think are better than the book, but of course you are wrong. The book "Devil's Advocate" kept me enterteined my whole summer 2022. If I could sentence it in one word it would be "mindfuck". The prologue, hidden meanings, the perfect circle ending and the main character going slightly mad.
I adore the parts where the moments in the books are definitely more intense than in the movie. The movie grows in the feeling of rage and confusion, the book is moderately diffrent.
Neiderman tells us the story of a young, ambitious and promising advocate - Kevin Taylor (played by Keanu Reeves which is just *mwah* cheff's kiss). His insecure ego needs something more than some small robberies and divorce cases.
What keeps us entertained in the beginning of the book is the case of the sexual assault on Barbara Stanley. It's a breakthrough for his career. He ends up in New York, and everything goes downhill from there.
No more questions your honour. No more questions.

Why are all conspiracy theories like, "Talor Swift wants to eat your baby!" "The illuminatie is after you!" "Space isn't real, nasa is lying to you!" ? Why can't we have any fun conspiracies, like the titanic was actually sunk by a blue kraken, or that all celebraties are actually the same person just dressing up in different costumes, or that the reason you aren't allowed to touch the Declaration of Independance is because everyone drew d*cks on the back as a joke?

Hey do y'all remember that conspiracy theory about Keanu Reeves secretly being immortal
Tumblr media
Regardless of the theory's actual veracity, I feel it's safe to say my man Keanu is actively and gleefully digging the hole deeper.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
[Image ID: several pictures of art from a comic book series featuring a Keanu Reeves lookalike as the main character, with the following book description from B&N:
"Keanu Reeves makes his comic book writing debut alongside New York Times bestselling co-writer Matt Kindt and acclaimed artist Ron Garney in a brutally violent new series about one immortal warrior’s fight through the ages."
"A WAR WITH NO END. The man known only as B. is half-mortal and half-God, cursed and compelled to violence...even at the sacrifice of his sanity. But after wandering the world for centuries, the Berzerker may have finally found a refuge – working for the U.S. government to fight the battles too violent and too dangerous for anyone else. In exchange, B. will be granted the one thing he desires – the truth about his endless blood-soaked existence...and how to end it. Keanu Reeves makes his comic book writing debut alongside New York Times bestselling co-writer Matt Kindt (Folklords, Grass Kings) and legendary artist Ron Garney (Wolverine) in a brutally violent new series about one immortal warrior’s fight through the ages.

Maybe it's a 'study finds water is wet' type of thought, but
considering it's an action movie whose overall plot is "immortal warriors Fuck Shit Up™️", I think it's significant that in The Old Guard the thing that makes Copley pull red strings through his Murder Conspiracy Board and say "[Merrick] doesn't care what [Andy]'s done with [her immortality]" is the people they save, not the ones they kill
Most of the Conspiracy Board is him circling random newspaper headlines and faces on old photographs to (more or less realistically) follow the immortals' treck through the world and big historical events. Which is, in-canon, not much different than putting portraits from different centuries next to a picture of Keanu Reeves and saying "they look the same, clearly Reeves is an immortal!"
But then there are the connections. A little girl holding Joe's hand in WW1 becoming the youngest (and first) woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize for Medicine (suck it, Kozak). Or the grandchild of a family that Andy saved from [something] helping people escape from the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia.
They are warriors. They have fought and been in the midst of countless wars, major or minor, throughout history. They must have killed as many people as they saved... and yet.
It's not them taking out a random warlord or dictator or rabidly hateful politician that has tangible repercussions in history. It's the children and families they get out of war zones, save from accidents, protect from natural disasters. People to whom they give a second chance at life, and grow to change the world (or even just their own world), like a mysterious stranger once changed theirs just by holding out a hand or patching a wound.
I don't know I just think it's particularly neat

NGL, I come from a place of privilege, given that I am under 25 and have no debt.
I have about $30,000 in assets - just my savings, car, tech, jewelry, and all my worldly goods that could be resold put together, at their current value. If I lost that 30k, which is really just (one) medical emergency away from bankruptcy, I would have to strip everything for the cash. In just cash alone, I'm not even close enough for a downpayment on a starter home, a multi year endeavor.
By comparison, millionaires such as Lady Gaga (130 million) and Keanu Reeves (380 million) are far above me. To be on the same level, I would have to earn and retain in financial or asset form, $129,970,000 or $379,970,000 respectively. Anything I spent on rent, insurance, gas, food, medicine, and other consumables that can't be resold doesn't count towards that net worth total.
That's a lot. But this pales in comparison to billionaires such as Jeff Bezos (117 billion) and Elon Musk (191 billion). I would have to retain $116,999,970,000 and $190,999,970,000 respectively. At my current income of $50k, which is above the median income for people with my level of education, assuming I magically don't need to spend any money on consumables and can just bank it all:
It would take me 2,599 years and 146 days to obtain Lady Gaga's wealth, or almost 26 CENTURIES.
It would take me 7,599 years and 146 days to obtain Keanu Reeve's wealth, or almost 76 CENTURIES.
It would take me 2,339,999 years and 146 days to obtain Jeff Bezo's wealth, or almost 2,340 MILLENIA.
It would take me 3,899,999 years to obtain Elon Musk's wealth. It would take me nearly 3,900 MILLENIA.
Oh, this is after having paid off all my debt and with my existing assets, by the way. For even Lady Gaga, the least wealthy of this list, I would have to work tirelessly from before the Roman Empire was even founded.
But that's just me, a college-educated middle-class American citizen who is both debt and child-free.
It's much more fascinating to compare these to each other.
Lady Gaga makes $25 million a year.
Keanu Reeves makes $40 million a year.
So, if I deduct what these millionaires already have in assets and divide the total of the billionaire's assets by their income to find how many years of just banking money (no consumables):
Lady Gaga would have to bank another $116,870,000,000 to have Jeff Bezo's wealth. Assuming she stops spending on consumables like food or whatever and every penny of her $25 million income goes into future asset wealth, it would still take Lady Gaga 4,674 years and 293 days for her to obtain Bezo's wealth.
Keanu Reeves would have to bank another $190,620,000,000 to achieve Elon Musk's wealth. Again, in a fantasy world where Keanu doesn't have to feed and clothe himself, it would take him 4,765 years and 6 months to obtain Elon Musk's wealth.
The gap between the assets of famous multimillionaires like Lady Gaga and Keanu Reeves (who make MILLIONS every year) and that of famous multi-billionaires is a little less than HALF what it would take me to become as wealthy as Lady Gaga at my income level, which is, again, above the median. I could never achieve that wealth in my entire fucking lifetime, because, even if I assumed my income would go up and actually outpace inflation, I still need to eat and I can only use my body for labor until I'm 80, tops, which is only 56 years of work and nowhere near the thousands.
This sounds very conspiracy-brain, but sometimes I think the United States deliberately undermines math education and the corresponding understanding of how to problem-solve and comprehend magnitude of these kinds of numbers. Because if kids sat down and did the math, they just might realize that there is no way to become this rich on your own hard work.
Sure, you can invest in the stock market - but that's gambling. Most people might be able to hamper the effects of inflation on their asset values with stock investment.
The American dream is a lie.
The middle class is closer to becoming homeless than they are to becoming multimillionaires.
Even multimillionaires are closer to becoming middle class or even homeless than they are to becoming multi-billionaires.
Don't fucking tell me to budget and I'll become a millionaire. It's more likely I'll get hit by lightning or lose it all to medical bills.
If this doesn't radicalize you, I don't know what will.

This is probably not the right blog to ask, but I'm not sure where else: is there a way to write a convincing hitman? Any obvious do's or don't's?
Well, first off it's important to remember that most of the assassins you're familiar with from pop culture are pure fantasy. There's no real world analog for characters like John Wick, Leon (The Professional), Vincent (Collateral), or 47. They belong to a theoretical tier of professional assassins that (probably) don't exist.
I'm going off a 2014 article from The Howard Journal of Crime and Justice, but unfortunately, it's been pay walled sometime in the last 8 years, so this is going to be mostly from memory. The authors classify assassins into four groups: Novices, Dilettantes, Journeymen, and Masters.
Novices are the amateur assassins and hitmen. These aren't really killers for hire, so much as just people who like the idea of getting paid for killing someone. When novice hitmen have ties to local criminal enterprises, it's really easy for police to identify them, because they generally don't travel to commit their crimes. Everyone in the (criminal) community, usually has a pretty good idea who the killer was, and no real interest in protecting them.
Novices who manage to pull off a couple contracts without getting caught graduate into Dilettantes. Again, not a lot to say here, these guys come from a mix of backgrounds. They're not really professionals, but they do commit the occasional killing for pay.
Journeymen are professionals. They may be ex-military, or they may simply be career criminals. As with Novices and Dilettantes, they're likely to stay close to home, which, in turn, makes them relatively easy to identify during criminal investigations. When you're looking at organized crime hitmen, they're likely to fall into one of these three categories. Street level soldiers who get tapped to carry out a killing are usually novices or dilettantes, a criminal enterprise might have some journeymen further up in the organization, at their disposal.
Masters might not exist. These guys have military, intelligence, or specialized backgrounds, they travel some distance to kill their targets, and then they disappear and head home. Here's the problem. All realistic investigation of professional assassins is based examining the failures (something, mentioned in the referenced article.) This means, if someone doesn't screw up, avoids detection, and escapes capture, we don't know anything about them. We only know about the assassins that are stopped or caught. So, let's look at those four fictional characters for a moment.
Wick is a pure fantasy character. He exists in a world with a massive conspiracy concealing a secret society of assassins, that are so well entrenched they mint their own currency. Keanu Reeves is worth watching (in the first film) for his movements, dude moves like someone with a serious combat background. The actual assassin component of the story is just thin connective tissue to tie one fight scene to the next. It's visual art and absolutely worth watching, but not because the writing makes sense.
Leon (Jean Reno, The Professional), is in the range of a journeyman. He operates exclusively in New York, and while it's not (completely) clear how he came to become a hitman, he illustrates some of the problems associated with staying in a specific geographic area. At the same time, not a terribly realistic character, and the idea that the more advanced you, the closer you get to your target is just goofy. It makes for some excellent film, but, if your job is to kill someone, you're not getting paid more to garrote them, than to put a round of .308 through their skull from two blocks away. In fact, you're probably getting paid much less, because your odds of getting out after things go sideways are almost nil.
Vincent (Tom Cruise, Collateral) is probably the most realistic prototype for a master on this list. Through the course of the film, we never get a lot of information about his background, but what little we know is that he travels. His preferred MO is to set someone up as a fall guy for his killings. He arrives in a city, receives his weapons, and intel on his targets, runs them down, and then gets out of town. He has some kind of military, possibly special forces, background. Given he's creating a reasonable cover for his activities, and given that he's getting in and out very quickly, it's plausible someone like that could exist. The most unrealistic element is just that he could carry out so many high profile killings in a single night, multiple times.
47 (David Bateson, also Timothy Olyphant and Rupert Friend, Hitman... all of them), is a bit of a nightmare scenario, but he illustrates something very interesting that has some theoretical realism to it. Now, for those who are unaware, 47 (sometimes Agent 47, or Codename 47), is the player character of the Hitman game series. (Olyphant and Friend played him in the film adaptations.) You can play the character as a complete psychopath, gunning down everyone in your path. There's not much realism in that approach. Beginning with the second game, the series started integrating a scoring system which prioritized killing as efficiently or creatively as possible. Now, creative kills were in the first game, but the only incentive was that they were often far easier than running and gunning. In it's current incarnation, the series has a strong emphasis on finding ways to eliminate targets in ways that appear accidental.
So, we have an assassin who specializes in getting in and out undetected, killing their targets in ways that appear accidental, and travels all over the world. Do you have any how hard it would be to prove someone like that existed?
Now, before I go on, I should point out, there's an inherent absurdity to the games. 47 is a 6'2” tall bald white dude with a bar code on his neck, and no one ever notices when suddenly the sushi chef gains six inches, loses his hair, changes ethnicity and happens to be the last person to be seen near the target who suddenly died of fugu poisoning. It's a running joke in the series that 47 can flawlessly blend into any crowd so long as he's wearing the right outfit.
At the same time, the hilarious thing about that joke is, it's real. When Tom Cruise was preparing to play Vincent in Collateral, something he did as personal prep was to disguise himself in a UPS uniform, and deliver packages in public. This included getting into an extended conversation with someone, without being recognized. This was in 2004, in Los Angeles, he was already a household name at this point. So, while Hitman turns the costumes swaps into a joke, there's a disturbing level of reality to that mechanic, if you look like you belong, people tend to assume you belong.
The original Hitman did have an interesting touch that the later games moved away from: You had to repurchase the weapons you wanted to take with you on each mission. So, there were no forensic ties between his guns from one killing and the next. There's a slight irony because the 1911s 47 carries are a semi-rare variant (AMT Hardballers, usually called Silverballers in game), so he's regularly discarding some fairly expensive, high-end, handguns. At the same time, he's getting paid enough to cover that, though, maybe, a slightly more common 1911 variant would probably be less conspicuous.
So, yeah, master assassins probably don't exist in the real world, and most of the assassins we know about tend to stay close to home, but if an assassin does travel, it would make identifying them significantly harder. Also, be instantly suspicious if your gardener suddenly turns into a 6'2” bald, white dude with a bar code on the back of his neck.

Man, some parts of the plot of Cyberpunk are so fucking wild. Like, not even counting the whole “keanu doesn’t want you to take your schizo meds” thing or the broader lore conspiracies and the AI stuff.
I’m obsessed with the weirder, less important shit, like how Delamain talked Goro through open brain surgery in the back of a moving vehicle. The turtle guy. What the fuck was up with that?? Those three scavs in northside looking for a shipping container literally twenty feet away from them. Kerry’s collab with the J-pop group sounds like steaming shit in-game. Michiko Arasaka got her back blown out by good ole boy Darth Vader. Wanna throw down with a pair of siamese twins?
Fucking love this game.

Inside Job
Damn you Netflix! Why do you cancel all of the good shows!
I loved loved loved this show. And it ended on such a big cliffhanger, Jesus Christ!
Thoughts:
I loved all of the voice actors, especially Brett Geldman as Myc. Especially because in the last episode when it’s showing all of the hang in prehistoric times, they show Myc as his voice actor
Brett was my favorite character hands down. 10/10 good boy
The whole switch of Reagan learning the secrets of the planet to Brett facing off against Air Bud was genius and hilarious
Good for Gigi for turning down the Illuminati and then leading the Illuminati in an alternate timeline
I didn’t know that Tamiko and Keanu and Tamiko and AB was what I needed but goddamnit
Reagan and Ron were adorable and as much as their ending saddens me, I get it
I immediately knew Ron was the love interest when I heard his voice.
I had a deep respect for Glenn’s ex-wife when she slept with Brett, showing it was his unlikeable personality that ended their relationship.
I was very confused with Rand. On one hand I hated him, but he also had his moments of genuine caring and regret about his family. Those moments, like at the end of the dimension thing really threw me for a loop
The whole thing with Reagan’s friend from growing up that was erased really ticked with me. If it wasn’t cancelled, I would hope that he came back
The whole Brett running for office episode was great. I loved how everything he did to cause backlash just ended up making him more popular with everyone and bettering society. And then him using puppets to start to move on from his entirely yes-man personality was sweet.
I actually prefer Reagan and Brett as just friends. Don’t get me wrong, they’re soulmates. But I see them as platonic soulmates. Which I’m my opinion are the best kind
My favorite thing about the whole show is that they still made fun of flat-earthers. In a show where conspiracies are real, flat-earthers are still stupid.
I am so upset this show was cancelled! I really want to know what would have happened next

i had another dream formatted like a movie i was half watching half living. starring current-day old keanu reeves but in every other way clearly made in the 90s. the way people talked and dressed, the set design, color grading, the way that it was stylized with certain scenes being in blurry slow motion or low frame rate sped up choppy just for emphasis. anyway it’s a horror/thriller/action movie starring keanu reeves (me) as a guy whos been a vampire for only a few months, and a wife who he impregnated just before becoming a vampire. so obviously his pregnant wife dies and his ONLY option is to go rejoin the cool cyberpunk street gang he was a part of decades ago where only a couple of the old heads even remember him. and eventually he proves himself, uncovers some conspiracy, meets an old vampire mentor, i don’t really remember the second act very much, there’s a cool motorcycle chase at some point. very crass stylized and excessively gory movie all the way through. think like, halfway between evil dead and underworld with a bit of crank and trainspotting thrown in. eventually he gets all the necessary tools and skills to resurrect his pregnant wife, the ritual involves cutting her open, pulling out the fetus, doing crazy vampire magic and pouring part of his soul energy into it before putting it back in and sewing her all up. but obviously he’s still an amateur vampire and a worse surgeon and made some mistakes, he took too long and his stitches aren’t neat enough, so she keeps splitting open and gushing blood everywhere while half-coming back to life and screaming in agony. so he summons the last bit of his vampire magic to deus ex machina her back to life, collapses dead, and she wakes up physically fine but emotionally distraught. the movie ends with her taking a gun out of his pocket and shooting herself in the head while weeping over his corpse. kind of a modern day romeo and juliet type deal

Hey! I'm using an ask because I didn't want to comment on or derail your original post about conspiracies all leading to antisemitism. I want to learn and forward it to my friends to catch ourselves wherever possible. I wanted to know if what you were saying extends to, like, the concept of conspiracy theories in general being antisemitic by nature--the idea that Something is not what They say it is, I guess? I'm asking because there's ones like how Avril Lavigne died in 2005 and was replaced by her body double Melissa, or how Keanu Reeves is actually immortal, etc. Stuff like that. I looked into it and as far as I know, those are two popular ones I can't find connections to historical events But I don't want to be making jokes about even conspiracies of that nature if either it may perpetuate the culture of conspiracies in general being talked about and lead to the ones based in antisemitism being given an easier platform.
Basically what I'm asking: Was the idea of the post about how promoting ANY conspiracy theory giving the antisemitic ones platforms as well? And regardless of the historical nature of them, is it possible theories like the ones I mentioned above are just as harmful to even joke about as the ones with direct links to Jewish history?
As I've posted multiple times and is mentioned in the tags of the og post, I will answer this ask provided you first send me money on ko-fi, link in my bio thanks
