Quando si dice

"finire col botto"

Aspettando la 4° con ansia

Comunque in ogni stagione, la maggior parte delle cazzate le fa miss T O K Y O

Fa più danno lei che tutti gli altri assieme, è il personaggio che mi piace meno di tutta la serie

Quando la tua vita va male e non sai a chi dare la colpa, dalla a Tokyo, hai una buona probabilità di avere ragione

Marsiglia e il suo furetto 🔝, poi però c'è Nairobi che è a livelli irraggiungibili per chiunque altro.

WATCHMEN #10 JULY 1987 BY ALAN MOORE, DAVE GIBBONS AND JOHN HIGGINS

SYNOPSIS (FROM DC DATABASE)

President Nixon (who is holding the nuclear football) and Vice President Ford head deep inside a government emergency bunker. The former learns that Russian tanks are massing along the East German border in response to "western alarmism". His advisers ponder on what to do next in which Nixon tells them that they stay at DEFCON Two—the next step to nuclear war—and wait.

Meanwhile, Dan and Kovacs have been in the Owlship hiding in New York Harbor. Before continuing their investigation, they head to Kovacs' old apartment to pick up his spare costume and journal. They run into Kovacs' landlady, Dolores Shairp, who is instantly afraid of Kovacs as she had besmirched him on television. Kovacs accost her, but decide to leave Shairp alone upon taking silent pity on her children.

In Antarctica, Adrian Veidt arrives at his retreat. He informs his associates that the “delivery” was successful. He studies his wall of televisions and divulges from the broadcasts that everything he’s seeing means that a war is inevitable.

Back in New York, Rorschach is back in his costume. He and Nite Owl argue whether they should be looking for a "mask" killer, or trying to uncover why somebody killed The Comedian because he found out the plot to get rid of Dr. Manhattan. Dan is very certain that the perpetrators are tied to Dimensional Developments, who employed Moloch and therefore may have bugged his home and learned about Edward Blake's involvement and Rorschach's investigations. After a few outbursts, Dan apologizes to Rorschach, saying that he shouldn't have said any of that. Rorschach then, to Dan's surprise exhibits a rare moment empathy offering his hand in apology for his actions. The two agree that either way, the next course of action is to interrogate some of the criminal element to try and uncover some leads.

The news vendor rambles about the inevitable war between America and the Soviets, but didn't expect to be this long to wait. He is then approach by two members of Jehovah's Witnesses who offer him The Watchtower about God's plan to end the world. The news vendor contemptuously decline.

Rorschach leads Nite Owl to Happy Harry's and demand the patrons for a man who is well acquainted with Roy Victor Chess, the man who attempted to assassinate Adrian Veidt. The people turn their attention to a Pyramid Industries employee. When the man refuses to cooperate, Rorschach interrogate him by firmly breaking the man's glass in his own hand. The man caves in, revealing that he had been paid by his boss, a freight coordinator, to hire Chess for a hit and gave him a brown envelope. But he protest that he didn't know Chess's target was Veidt. Furthermore, he is desperate for protection because all the other freight handlers, including his boss, that were involved are dead and he is certain that he would be next.

During Rorschach's interrogation, Nite-Owl approach a knot-top, who apologetically tells that he has nothing to do with Hollis Mason's death. However, Nite-Owl begin to strangling him, angrily demanding him the identities of the people who murdered Hollis. The knot-top truthfully tells him that he doesn't know. Regardless, Nite-Owl threaten the man to tell his fellow gangs that he will come to kill them all. Rorschach intervenes and stopping Nite-Owl from killing the knot-top in front of the patrons. The pair leave the bar before heading for Adrian Veidt's office to give him the news and convince him to help them.

Somewhere on the ocean, comic book writer Max Shea and painter Hira Manish are getting intimate in the hold of a ship. They are happy to be finally leaving the island and be done with the super-secret “movie” they were paid to work on with some other "missing" artists. Shea then noticing something under a tarpaulin behind Hira and is horrified to see it is a huge bomb that will go off in seconds. When Hira asks what's wrong, Shea holds tightly to her, saying, "Nothing's wrong. Hold me." The bomb explodes, obliterating the ship and everyone on board.

Dan and Rorschach sneak into Veidt's penthouse office and learning that Veidt is gone. They find an appointment book which reads Veidt left for Karnak. On a hunch, Nite-Owl hacks into Veidt's computer system and discovering that Veidt owns both Pyramid Deliveries and Dimensional Developments: he is the mastermind behind Manhattan's exile and The Comedian's death. Surprised by this discovery, Rorschach and Nite-Owl heads off to Karnak to confront Veidt. Before leaving, Rorschach makes one final journal entry detailing Veidt’s role in the plot, and drops it into a mailbox to be deliver to the New Frontiersman newspaper office.

After Nite-Owl and Rorschach land the Owlship in Antarctica, they head to Veidt's retreat via hoverbikes. Unknown to them, they are being monitored by Veidt's surveillance cameras.

TALES OF THE BLACK FREIGHTER

The mariner sits on the dunes and wait until dark with thoughts of his home town, Davidstown, being overrun by pirates and planning to kill them all. Two horse-back riders comes to the beach in which the mariner recognize one of them to be the town's moneylender; in which the mariner believes that he is collaborating with the pirates. The moneylender and his woman find the corpse-infested raft, forcing the mariner to kill them both in fear that they would warn the pirates. The mariner then takes the moneylender's clothes and left for Davidstown upon their horses with the woman's body to bypass any sentries.

REVIEW

With this issue, it becomes pretty clear we reached the third act, so Veidt sudden importance to the plot is a confirmation that he was behind the scenes all along.

Rorschach has changed after his time in jail. He seems a bit more “rehabilitated”, a bit more compassionate.

If you are reading the story for the first time, Ozymandias’ plan is not entirely visible. The sequences with Max Shea may seem random, but they make a lot of sense on the second reading.

The bonus material doesn’t say much about Veidt’s actual plan, but it does say a lot about his views about the future. This is a partial clue as to what his motivations are.

The theme of the issue is “a pair of riders”. This can be felt in several places, but sometimes it’s just the number two repeating all over the chapter. If you want an extra reference to the number two, this is chapter 10, and in binary code that means “2″. Just me adding some coding facts unrelated to the story.

DEFCON 2 likely following North Korean Nuclear test of 1 Megaton warhead.

On August 11, 2017, the United DEFense CONdition was raised from DEFCON 4 to DEFCON 3. 

The change was reportedly due to recent North Korean activities and threats against Guam.

On September 2, 2017, the leader of the brutal North Korean regime was reportedly photographed with a Thermo-Nuclear Warhead small enough to fit onboard an ICBM, Intercontinental Ballistic Missle.

On September 3, 2017, midday in North Korea a 1 Mega-Ton Nuclear Bomb was tested by North Korea.

A source familiar with the current situation tells Nation One News that they:

“…will be surprised if we don’t reach DEFCON 2 within the next 24 to 48 hours.”

If the order is given to raise the United States’ DEFense CONdition to DEFCON 2, it will be the first time since 1991 when the Joint Chiefs declared DEFCON 2 for the Gulf War. The only time prior to this was the Cuban Missle Crisis.

The South Korean Military has already been placed on High Alert, according to the Washington Post.

Japan’s military is still on high alert following the North Korean missile test that flew over Japan on August 29, 2017.

Okay, this is a joke, right? Like, Ashton Kutcher is gonna pop up any second and tell me that I’m on an episode of Punk’d? No way is this real. I decide to return to this blog and this is my thanks? This picture?

Gordon. Gordie. Gordo. You’re killing me. I know that under your hoodie (thanks for dressing up, by the way) is a camo t-shirt. And that’s already awful. But, here’s the issue. The way that your t-shirt is sticking out from under your hoodie makes it seem like you’ve got on camo short shorts over your black skinny jeans (seriously, thanks for dressing up).

Also, the beanie? Really? Look, I don’t actually know where you’re at, but obviously it’s a place where I’d expect you to dress up. I mean, considering the fact that this looks like a professional photo that was taken at some sort of event, one would think that you’d want to be dressed up. You look homeless, Gordo. That’s the point I’m getting at. You look homeless.

And for anyone wondering, this is what the text on the hoodie is:

I wish I could, my man. I really wish I could.

This is a cease and desist for Gordie. (Also, maybe a request that he goes to see a doctor. His knee appears to be bent at an unnatural angle in that last one. U okay, bud?) These jeans are the equivalent of poking needles into my eye. It looks like he threw his jeans into a woodchipper, regretted it, then decided to patch them up with pieces of ratty pajama pants. You either commit and wear pajama pants in public or be a fucking decent human being and wear jeans. You can’t half ass it. To be fair, though, this is Michael Clifford so my expectations aren’t unreasonably high. At least these jeans look like they actually fit him.
