Fear the CURSE!

Fear the curse of the Dark Knight! And people who believe something like a movie and kill people!  Are we going to be blamed when the world ends?  I guess only if Fiend's kill everyone.

Numerous media outlets are citing Morgan Freeman’s car accident as just the latest result of the Dark Knight Curse, which also claimed the life of Heath Ledger earlier this year, killed a stuntman during production, and caused Christian Bale to assault his mother.

While I won’t for a second argue that these four events were anything but the magical result of a movie being made, I haven’t read one single article detailing the far more disturbing Citizen KaneCurse, an even more ominous cloud of supernatural negativity brought into existence by the 1941 cinema classic.

Consider the following events:

– Kane director and star Orson Welles died of a myocardial infarction at his home in Hollywood on October 10, 1985 at the age of 70.

– Joseph Cotton, who played Kane’s friend Leland, contracted throat cancer and died of complications on February 6, 1994 at the age of 88.

– Everett Sloane, who played Kane’s associate Bernstein, committed suicide in 1965 at age 55 after contracting glaucoma.

– William Allend, who played the reporter, died from heart disease in 1997 at the age of 81. More like CURSE disease.

– Ruth Warrick, who played Kane’s first wife, died of complications related to pneumonia in 2005 at age 88. (CUUUURRSEE!!!)

– Actor Yul Brynner died on the EXACT SAME DAY as Orson Welles. I’m sure he saw Citizen Kane at some point.

– Citizen Kane was released on May 1st, 1941; Germany invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, less than TWO MONTHS later. Then World War II happened, which was awful.

– The theme of the film — youthful idealism corrupted by wealth and ego — remains TO THIS DAY a crippling moral force in society.

There you have it. EVERY SINGLE CAST MEMBER from the 67-year-old film is now deceased. But I’m sure it was aaaaaalllll a bunch of coincidences.

Dark Knight Curse. Psh.

Curse=Blessing?

I have just wondered something to myself.  Do you believe that every curse also comes with a blessing?  For example, The Curse of the Mayan Treasure from Pirates of The Caribbean cursed those who stole from the Mayan's an eternal pain.  Though they may be immortal and invulnerable, they could never slate their lust for food or for the pleasures of the flesh.  They could do what ever they wanted with no penalty, only the eternal pain.

That is what I mean when I say I believe every curse has a blessing laying somewhere within it.  So my question is, what is my blessing?

I have everything I care about taken from me and decimated before my broken, fractured mind.  I thought I could be a writer and I was wrong, I thought I could be a Photographer and I was wrong... and I thought I could be a lover, a soulmate... and I was WRONG.

I destroy everything I care about, that is my curse, so what is my blessing?  Do I even have one? Or is the nature of my curse enough to destroy that ever so precious gift?  Or perhaps I am not meant to know what it is, for if I were ever to know, I would destroy it.  But then, the question is, will I ever be allowed to have this gift?  Will I ever be allowed to use it, or is it so subtle that it really does not matter and thus, I will never know what it is?

Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps there are some curses so fiendish that they cannot offer any blessing, any gifts... They are simply so evil or so simple, they destroy and decimate.

Or perhaps my curse is, in fact, my gift and blessing.  Maybe my purpose on this planet is to be the chaos and the wrench that fujunks up the entire system.

Perhaps I am Chaos and Calamity.  I am Death and Undeath.  I am The End and The Final.  I am never a Beginning and I am never a Hope.  I am the Faith That Dies In Your Soul and The Pain That Lives In Your Hart.  I am Burning and I am Burying.  I Rape Happy and Murder Joy.  I Destroy Normality and I Create Unease.

I am The Fear of Truth

I am The Proof of Reality

I am The Honesty of Shadows

And I am forever The Chaos of Order and Law.

I am That Nothing.
