K____ Breaks The Internet [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5848272/?ref_=nv_sr_1]

Although I do have two (newer) commentaries on some other movies sitting in 'draft mode', I feel that after watching this movie around for a lot less than, as "Rachel" put it, "entertainment value" that maybe there was a lot more than just the text/'service/product placements' in this movie I 'might have missed'.

I have to admit, sometime before my '5 years of silence' of no longer using this blog, I did also feel like Princess Vanellope does in this movie when she 'lost her game' (not going to explain too much to avoid 'spoilers'). There was some stuff I likewise felt was 'going wrong' with my life, so I can very much relate to Penelope's feelings in the movie when she 'had to leave her game'.  At the time in my life, there was kind of an element also of 'my world will come crashing down' for me as well; and around the time I started blogging again, I did somewhat feel 'rebooted', not only because I was in a new environment for the most part, but during the ending of 2017, I felt I was having a 'spiritual revival' and I make mention to that here as well: https://life-of-agent-k.blogspot.com/2018/07/8-down-but-not-dead-8-sh.html

As the August 28th, 2012 entry has the following remark "Perfect timing yet again my sovereign Lord, this is perfect reopening post that was sitting as a draft entry on my Blog. " and I also added a YouTube link that is more recent (2017) in there, it stands to reason that actually the very last entry before the '5 years of Silence' was: http://life-of-agent-k.blogspot.com/2012/08/what-if-k-was-one-of-us-just-stranger.html and the 2015 entry kind of 'doesn't count' cause for the most part, it is just a reposting of some really blog old material that are kind of perhaps my own life's "old testament". In addition to that, a lot of that particular body of text or entry is short extracts or 'descriptors' of certain events or parts of my life, so in a way, one might even refer to that entry as the 'Isaiah' of my 'old testament' before the 'silence'. Then later that same year I posted that very last post before the 'years of silence' as the period when no literature which has been accepted into the biblical canon to be included as part of the bible often is referred to, I may have also met the 'Jesus figure' of my narrative before I broke the blog silence and began to blog again in 2017, which is kind of like the beginning to my 'New testament'.

Funny thing is at the beginning of 2011, something happened one night alone with nobody and nothing else present other than a Television and old school VCR that I had decided to watch a little bit of the video-tape available and it was the Mulan movie and it was close to this scene so I stayed for a bit till the end of the Reflection song which is my favorite song of the movie.  This scene was also featured in the movie, as I will now like to switch the gear back to how the narrative of the movie might have been Used to speak into parallels of my own life as well.

There was another funny thing that happened earlier today (December 10th) when I went to the gym.  I started out the day praying that God will guide me throughout the day, whether it be through His word, or circumstances and maybe even trout a dream when I end this day.  So when I was at the gym, I saw this blonde person who looked kind of of what would be a similar statue of the character Calhoun from the Heroes’ Duty Game who ends up as Fix It Felix’s wife of 6 years in the second movie.  So if I am meant to relate to Vanellope through various themes in the movie, another thing that might be relevant is the entire 'gender reversal' in terms of roles.  Like Vanellope is a girl who drives and I'm a male, also when the character Shank says 'Shank you', it reminded me a lot of when 'Harvey Dent' [https://life-of-agent-k.blogspot.com/2008/12/dark-k.html]'s slang he used to use 'spank you'.  The movie also had this idea that a car was one of 'the most sought after items' and those who knew me in my younger days likewise knows that the car I was most associated to at the time, which I have referred to it in several entries as 'the faith mobile' was basically 'the love of my life' at the time.  I think the main reason for this is because 'the car would never leave me' and it wasn't common for some guys of my time to have a car being referred to as their 'wife' or they personally would refer to their car as their 'wife'.  For me personally, I feel the best part of the relationship I had with the car was, I was 'able to get out what I put in', the car served me well and I felt that all the time and money I put into maintaining that car paid back dividends.

Also the whole "D-R-E-A-M game" there might as one of my profs from seminary had put it, also be 'pregnant with meaning' there.  Although this is probably. Bit too personal to be sharing bout in explicit  subjective detail here, it is something that my be another interesting ‘clue’ or as I like to call them’breadcrumb’ in the movie that indicates it is meant to Speak to me even though I initially thought maybe it didn’t really have anything to Say to me in that regard perhaps.  Let’s just say this last quote and Vanellope’s word choice here, each letter of the word DREAM matches an Initial of people I known throughout my lifetime.

Not sure who invented it, but presently, it has been a number of years ago now that I have heard someone express that "a generation is ...
