Rizky Novrianto is just an ordinary human being who try to live his life as extraordinary as it can be. I like to be different. You maybe able to find someone better than me, but You may never find someone like me. I hope common courtesy hasn't die yet. Treat people the way you want to be treated and even more, treat other people the way they want to be treated.

Loopholes in Movies

Few months back, I found Youtube channel named HISHE or How It Should Have Ended. It's a super funny channel because it kinda confirmed all the doubts in your mind after watching a movie. the best one of their work in my opinion is their version of How Lord of the Ring Should Have Ended, where they actually could do that and it can save them from the journey that takes three three-hours-long-movies by riding the great eagle and take frodo and then throw the ring in the volcano and it's over. Or the one about Harry Potter where they can actually use hermione's time travel necklace thingy and travel back in time, kill voldermort and they will save 7 book worth of adventure.

Not far from that, I found another channel named Screen Junkies which one of their creation titled Honest Trailers amazed me, where basically they give an honest trailer of past movies.

So, to those who already press ctrl+T for new tab and ready to google those two channels, I highly recommended, "NO... DON'T DO IT, YOU'LL REGRET IT LIKE SO F***ING MUCH!"

From now on, I will talk spoilers from the movie Godzilla, X-Men Days of Future Past and the series Tomorrow People season 1. Those who haven't watched the movie and planned to watch it, stop reading!!!

So, it start with God-f***ing-Zilla!!!
This is one of my highly anticipated movie. I know this movie because I read about it too much in The Detective Conan Manga and they sometimes told story about watching a Godzilla movie and the y consider Godzilla as the Hero.

Okay, the title is Godzilla, but the movie is hardly portraying a full frame of Godzilla. It's always tails, fins and the Godzilla swimming. Oh come on!!! the enemy can fly and the Godzilla is f***ing swimming???? and like super slow...!!!!

Watching this movie, I feel pity for humanity. I watched Transformer before and see how the army is so coordinated and sophisticated. But the army in this movie is so lame!!! That's why I hate this movie, because the human is weak, but they try so hard to make as if the human can defend themselves againts the monsters. This is imagination movie, so why don't you imagine a stronger army???

I almost bite my finger.

Then X-Men. Oh God!!! this is the one movie that I wait, because I thought after the last one, it will be over because Jane dead, Cyclops dead, Prof X dead, Magneto loose power. There's nothing more to tell, just one failed Wolverine spin-off.

But suddenly the movie begins with Prof. X is alive, Magneto had his power back, Kitty suddenly can send people's consciousness back in time, Human torch (not Chris Evans) appear, some leader with super gun and absorbing other people's power, some purple chick with amazing power but STUPID.

Okay, I am able to make gateway to another dimension, why don't you just transfer all those sentinels to hell or on top of mount everest? oooooorr.... make a dimensional gateway in the middle of their bodies so they will split in two?? but she just use her power to move here and there. I love nightcrawler's power better, thanks... no need to add new cast.

At first I thought this movie is going to cancel all the other X-Men movies before this, that's why prof X is still alive, but in Wolverine's imagination, suddenly they refer to The Last Stand where Wolverine kills Jane.

In the movie they also find the mutant who can moves so fast. but why in the world they let him go in the middle??? if he's still with them, he can simply stop Raven from what she's about to do, without the Logan's drama of how suddenly he became unstable and scratch Kitty.

And then again, after prof X in the past meet prof X in the future brainstorming, why in the world Kitty is still holding Wolverine in the past???
Oh God!!!!

I pulled my hair so hard....

Tonight I finished the season 1 of the series Tomorrow People. Story about the next evolution in human race where people can have Three Ts, Telekinesis, Telepathy and Teleportation. This is another sample, why people with power can be so f***ing STUPID.

What my friend will always said, "That's where God is fair"
I would love to go deeper about the story, but I'm not sure a lot of people watch this series.

You know what, 3T reminds me of 3P, Prue-Piper-Phoebe and later, Paige.
Telekinesis?? Prue and Paige Alert....
Suddenly James can stop time, hellooo Piper alert...
It's like they're gathering the charmed one's power into one body.
The next is they can predict the future as Phobe can.

Long story short....
After like 16 episode of the Founder being the bad guy, and suddenly Stephen trust him and take his side, bring back his father back to live just to loose him again in the end. The Uncle Jedekiah who's always confused about being evil or being good, suddenly take John and John willingly to trust him again after all he had done to him in the past.

Another thing is, they have the thing called as "Primal Barrier" where the tomorrow people can't kill. When they do try to kill, they'll pass out due to the ringing in their head. But in the beginning, Cara crack a man's head open without having to go through the Annex Project.
You can't kill, but who say you can't knock out a people then teleport them to a top of a building and just kamehame them with the telekinesis power so they will fall from the top of the building or just teleport them to top of mount Everest and let them freeze to death.

Dang it.... I'm a good script-writer...!!!

Oh, damn it HISHE and Honest Trailer.
You guys have ruined all my movie experiences. No I can't sit back and just enjoy the movie without thinking about it too much.
Though sometimes I think that Imagination movies are just not think the plot through. They just looking for good effects and good story, but if we really think about it, so many loopholes in it and so many things that will keep us questioning why they chose this path where there's other path that is easier?

People are just willingly be stupid for the sake of good plot.
Oh God, I'm badly want to watch Maleficent this Monday... please make me able to enjoy the movie fully after so much movies disappointing me. I have so much list of movies I want to watch and I write them in a post-it note and stick them in my wall, but till today, I just haven't got the will to watch them for I keep guessing the end and the logic behind the storyline....

Aaaaaarggghhh......
Maybe I should write some scripts and make a movie.....

Is This the Taste of Rejection?

In this life, I think I've been blessed with an easy life. Well, I don't actually know whether it's really easy or I just hijacked my mind to think it that way. I can never think of the thing that make my life uneasy. In my memory, I can't remember the times that I have ever feel super-mad or super-sad. I do laugh and cry, but I think I can't remember that I ever cry in the last two years. 

Maybe I live way too long in my comfortable side of life that I don't want to get out. The story of my life before fifth grade is long gone because I can't remember the whole story of it, so if you ever came from that part of the memory, I hope you can introduce yourself once again to me, because I hardly remember, unless you've met me again after my fifth grade. 


I've asked about this issue to a psychologist, but he told me that as long as I'm happy in my present life, it might be normal though it may be a sign that there was a trauma that block my mind from remembering a bad thing.


I live my life quite easy after that. I've graduated from my high-school and entering the State-College of Accountancy on my first try. The school-fee is paid by the government and after that, I don't have the hard time of looking for a job because I directly join the Ministry of Finance of Republic of Indonesia and became a civil servant. 


In that time, I remember I had one rejection, but not actually a rejection because I did actually manage to through the qualification to continue my education through a scholarship back to the State-College of Accountancy to get a degree equal to Bachelor degree. But the policy at that time won't allow me to do so and based on the restriction at that time, I fail to continue my education. But a year after that, I tried again to join the University of Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta and guess what, this time no rejection and I smoothly pass through the qualification, get a scholarship and I get my bachelor degree after two years.


The next is I apply for the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore after the office-policy allowed me to apply. Again, on the first try I pass the qualification and here I am without to many hassle and dazzle of life, no drama no tears. The story that keeps coming to me is about how hard is getting job these days, how hard is getting a scholarship especially an overseas one. 


Well, I never did go through the hardship of looking for a job, and I never knew how to handle a rejection very well because in my life, I barely got rejected. That's why I always believe in first try and I might never want to try for the second time. After graduating, I not only guaranteed having a job, but I was obligated to come back to my job because of the bound that bind me due to the scholarship. 


That take me back to the last message of the Leadership class regarding "Putting yourself out there and keep challenging your safe zone" as that is what "life" is all about. 


But if you really ask about what's in my mind, everyone that know me well will tell you that I'm empty in my head, like for real. I don't even know the name of my Minister two months after he's in position. So, No I'm not a super smart person and I hate math like very much!


During one session in the Leadership class, we did a meditation and we're imagining a story of travelling in a beach and hiking to a hill. During the session we were asked t o imagine a bag full of stones and every stone is representing the weight that weight us down in this life. Either I'm not concentrating enough or else, I don't know, but when I open my "imaginary bag", there's nothing in there, no stones. It's empty.


I feel like an empty headed person for real. 


So, back to the topic. Few weeks ago I apply two internship for the Institute of Water Policy and an Research Assistant job. I think, that's the first two job application I ever sent in my life. I experience a job interview for the IWP and I realize that it didn't going very well as I expected. Maybe the nerve finally get to me. 


a week later (approximately) I got my first ever Job-Application-Rejection, the IWP rejected me. The day after that, I got the second rejection from my Research Assistant application even before an interview process. DARN IT... two in a row for like ever in my life... hahaha...


But hey, it doesn't feel bad... and the world didn't collapsing over me. It does give me a lesson of life though, maybe life is not as easy as what I had in my mind and finding a job might be really hard out there. I am just so lucky to ever had a secure job in my hand.


It might feel like an in-denial person, but I do love my job and I can't see my self working in a hostile environment where it full of competition among the employee. One of the suggestion that I keep hearing is, "I'm not cunning enough"


But rather than seeing the world that way, I would prefer to see the world in my own way. In this moment, my career movement is might be slow and my salary might not be as big as those who worked in the private sector. My job is might not as challenging as those in private sector and the thing is, I'm not that hungry for that either. I have seen my light in the end of a tunnel and I decided to walk through that direction, as it is now. It might be slow, but I think I look that as building my foundation rather than keep complaining about it. 


So, I will keep pursuing my dream through the path that I've decided to go through long time ago and will adapting towards the evolving of the time. I might not ever applying for another job. But during my time here, I would love to taste a whole lot of another rejections from various organizations, so I can learn better to cope with rejection in life. Well, who knows among all those rejection I will find one job that will give me extra money during my time here.. hahaha...


But one thing I know for sure, Challenging your safe zone is always comforting to know that you had a cushion when you fall. Though this might be still not in the category of 'challenging your safe zone' but hey... life is for fun and don't make everything is about an effort to reach it, at some time we should just sit down, enjoy what we have at the moment and to actually thanking God for it...


Good things will happen to good people. So rather than keep pursuing the good things in life, I just focusing all my energy to be "The Good Guy" and surely good things will come to me... somehow, I choose to believe that....

:)
