Hey guys, Mel here. So, I decided to record some thoughts on how I perceive this film and what I think the director has buried underneath all those codes and ciphers and pop culture references (oh my!)... deep below the surface... under the Silver Lake. Personally, I think a lot of what viewers are being confronted with in this film regards Hollywood's attempt to program its audience... much like dogs... Beware the dog killer... May just seem like a film review, but actually I think it's an important message that everyone needs to hear right now. Much love! 🫶 Mel P.S. - Here's that Matrix I/IV vid: twitter.com/truthstreamnews/status/1781532243405521387

I've heard your conclusions about the film. And I must say, they should be of value to everyone who was asking you about it. Your conclusions can also be repurposed as good advice to all those folks who have lost themselves to the stimuli around them. It's so true. The real mystery, and answers you need, reside inside us. Some of us, however, don't begin that journey until later in life when we have more time and space to look deeper within ourselves.

The Owl's Kiss actress is a contortionist professional in real life. I'm guessing he looked in drawers for her, wondering how else she got in, since there was no sign of break in. The whole glass break was to distract him. I enjoyed the movie since I've been into ciphers since 1992. I take the movie at Face value, everything that happens is real, none is imagined, he's not the dog killer, he's not the music man. Just a guy stumbles into this other world of ciphers and is on a mission to find the answers. Funny the shoot stars that walk him to the area where the Music man lives are almost NPC's just there to guide him.

Excellent. PS: I saw two squirrels "fighting" in the branches of a very tall tree. Something told me to stop and wait. Sure enough one of them popped out and fell to the ground. It landed flat on the grass, and despite falling something like 30 or 40 feet, it bounced up to its feet, and ran right back up the tree to resume "fighting" like nothing had even happened. So squirrels fall. With alacrity. Cheers

Thanks for another consistently good program. For anyone wanting to witness blatant social programming, watch the early 60's versions of the marionette programs called 'Space Patrol' and 'Fireball XL5'.

Knowing what we do now, this is all very unsurprising.
