How's things on your end?
Sean Skyhawk here with a new update on things going down.
H'ok. So, there's this movie that came out just a few days back called "Now You See Me" starring Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo, Isla Fisher, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Dave Franco. Magicians + heists + chase from the FBI:
Damn, it's nowhere near as simple as the trailers show! So in the first few minutes I was watching Mr. Facebook really going all David Blaine with t11's Monarchs (woo!). There's Tallahassee the hypnotist, some pickpocketer on a ferry and a hot chick getting eaten by piranhas (or so it appears). They all meet this hooded stranger and when their acts are done, they all discover a tarot card pointing to a date, time, and address.
So the four meet up at a dusty old apartment complex like Hotel Lafayette in The Matrix. You'd think Morpheus would turn around at any minute and offer them the red pill. Not so much, but pretty close! We're treated to an awesome sight as the room fills with smoke and (le gasp!) holographic plans for a three-act show appear mid-air, signaling the genesis of the Four Horsemen.
ONE YEAR LATER...
Somewhere in the middle of Vegas...
Our heroes are having a blast, performing magnificent stage shows and living out of 6-star hotel rooms. And now for their final act... they are going to rob a bank! NO SHIT! They invite this old French dude onto the stage and then place him in the machine...
SNAP!
Meanwhile, in the middle of Paris the guy shows up inside the vault of bank, then he presses a button triggering a vacuum sucking a pallet full of money all the way from Paris to Vegas instantly, making it rain all over the crowd. Then once the area's been cleared, the teller opens the vault, and her reaction is priceless ("oh merde!")
Naturally, the FBI and Interpol get involved, the investigation led by none other than The Hulk himself, playing the ever-frazzled agent Dylan Rhodes. The interrogation scenes are absolute hilarity in and of themselves... poor Dylan indeed! Since there's no real logical explanation to the issue at hand, the Horsemen get away scot free.
The rest of the movie is an absolute rollercoaster of plot twists as they work to evade the FBI and pull off ever-more amazing heists. It was an incredible experience; seeing it led me to conclude that I've been away from the field for far too long and that I should return to the fold to halt any further intellectual deterioration. At the end of it all, I will say this: nothing in this movie ever happens by accident; everything has a reason and a purpose. Know that and that's the least you can do to prepare for this wild ride.
IN OTHER NEWS:
I am performing a show at Trotcon, having done a dry run of my routine this Morphicon. I assure you right now... if you are following this, you are in for a WILD ride, and this is the event all you bronies will NOT want to miss! I will be recruiting
trickster's help during rehearsal since it happens Friday evening. Until then, see you soon!!!
And as for other shiet, I got myself a seltzer machine! It magically turns water into soda and it takes some practice (far more pushes than advertised) but done right, it makes COOL seltzer! Compact and self-contained, I won't trade this for anything. I totally encourage you to get one for yourself! Of course, for my Diet Cola needs, I'll still stick to name brand, thank you very much.
Anyway.... Thank you everypony, I am the Fifth Horseman, and good night!!!
