Millennium 7 Publishing Co.: YOUR Marketing In The Age Of Social Media?
YOUR Marketing In The Age Of Social Media?
Thompson, the father of gonzo journalism, lived and worked in an age where social media marketing had not even taken birth.
What he says about the importance of striving for excellence is advice relevant not just to his peers, but juxtapositions itself for today's social media marketing campaigns too.
Even as marketers are pampered with multiple social media channels there is still a need to build brilliant campaigns that go beyond self-promotion and noisy broadcasting.
Some of the best social media campaigns are fruits of innovation and creativity, which also reigned in observation of the social media landscape, trends, and psyche of the digital consumer.
Since the medium is dynamic in nature, it is easy to get carried away when designing social media marketing campaigns and forget the basic fundamentals.
So whether it is keeping the tongue-in-cheek tone under control or fact-checking before final publication, here's a list of few dos and don'ts to keep in mind while articulating your brand's message.
Humour is one of the greatest tools to engage with your audience and sell your product. However, it is not everyone's cup of tea and is a tricky line to tread. What is humor for one can come across as offensive to most. This has been the case for many a failed marketing attempts which were not just borderline inappropriate but flat-out offensive. So when aiming for 'pun intended', ensure that there is pun wherever it is intended.
Contextual humor can help you scale the social media marketing circuit, but the lack of it will have you staring at a steep plunge. The infamous Miracle Matress saga is a good reminder for social media marketers. If you're not careful about what you poke fun at, you may end up biting off more than you can handle.
As Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos once said, "If you make customers unhappy in the physical world, they might each tell six friends. If you make customers unhappy on the internet, they can each tell 6,000 friends."
Both Whoopi and Oprah didn't take the matter lightly, and neither did netizens. The tweet was swiftly deleted, and the company apologized for the slip. However, it was too little, too late, as the brand became a laughing stock on Twitter, and not only lost face but respect of the consumers.
What does this teach us? Read and re-read every bit of content before it goes out on social media. Due diligence doesn't cost you much, but the lack of it can spell disaster for your brand. It is much better to invest a little time and effort to deliver a flawless copy than publish something fallacious and then scramble to make amends.
Remember, social media can be a very unforgiving place for brands that come across as careless in fact-checking.
Do not forget that the digital realm is a neutral platform, where every brand is constantly under scrutiny. No matter how big or small your online presence be, nothing escapes the keen eyes of netizens.
Hence, a brand has to be on its guard round-the-clock, more vigilant than ever before. An un-thought-out tweet, un-researched or unverified claim, a defective product on the store shelf, a slip by the brand stewards – whether CEO or delivery boy, can potentially generate enough bad publicity to make a social media marketer's worst nightmares come true.
The video that went viral, showing United Airlines staff assaulting a customer cost the brand close to a billion dollars off its market value during the period of the viral video fiasco. So never underestimate the destructive power of an ill-planned or poorly executed social media post.
According to a digital analyst, speaker, and author Brian Solis, social media is about sociology and psychology more than technology. As humans, we all love a good story; we love to be amused, challenged, and tickled.we seek stories, as we get hooked on to engaging content. So, if a brand has insights into consumer psychology, it will be able to engage them with content that draws their curiosity. Technology, then, becomes simply the platform on which the content stands.
Thus, the next time you're planning your social media marketing campaign, remember that it is not just about making a "viral" or amazing-looking campaign. To maximize effectiveness for your brand, spend some time crafting a campaign that not only appeals to consumer tastes but does so with sensitivity and dignity.

Die Belagerung von Perth erfolgte während des Ersten Schottischen Unabhängigkeitskriegs. Nach jahrelanger Belagerung eroberten in der Nacht vom 7. auf den 8. Januar 1313 schottische Truppen die von einer englischen Garnison verteidigten Stadt Perth.

Vorgeschichte
Perth gehörte zu Beginn des 14. Jahrhunderts zu den wichtigsten schottischen Städten. Nach Beginn der Rebellion von Robert Bruce gegen die englische Herrschaft in Schottland hatte der englische Kommandant Aymer de Valence am 18. Juni 1306 die Stadt besetzt. Robert Bruce versuchte, die Stadt zu erobern und wollte sich mit seinen Anhängern den englischen Truppen zur Schlacht stellen. Er wurde jedoch in der folgenden Schlacht bei Methven geschlagen und konnte mit nur wenigen Anhängern flüchten. Ab 1307 konnte er jedoch Stück für Stück Schottland zurückerobern. Nach 1308 war Perth eine der wenigen Festungen, die die Engländer nördlich des Tay hielten. Die Stadt war von den Engländern ab 1304 mit einer steinernen, mit Türmen verstärkten Mauer stark befestigt worden. Im Osten grenzte die Stadt an den Tay, auf den anderen Seiten umschloss ein Wassergraben die Stadt. Während des Feldzugs des englischen Königs Eduard II. nach Schottland von 1310 bis 1311 erreichte im Februar 1311 der englische Adlige Piers Gaveston mit seinen Truppen die Stadt und verstärkte die Garnison. Spätestens seit Oktober 1311 war William Oliphant, der frühere Verteidiger von Stirling Castle, Kommandant der starken Besatzung, die zu einem Großteil aus dem englischen König gegenüber loyalen Schotten bestand. Im Oktober 1311 schickte Oliphant jedoch einen Bericht von der bedrückenden Lage der Besatzung der isolierten Festung an die englische Regierung.

Eroberung der Stadt durch einen nächtlichen Überraschungsangriff
Im Frühjahr 1312 eroberten die Schotten Dundee, womit Perth seinen freien Zugang zum Meer verlor und die Garnison nicht mehr durch Schiffe versorgt werden konnte. Der Kommandant Oliphant schilderte Ende 1312 in einem weiteren Bericht die Situation der Besatzung als geradezu hoffnungslos. Robert Bruce wandte sich nach dem gescheiterten Überraschungsangriff auf Berwick im Dezember 1312 der Eroberung von Perth zu, das seit November 1312 von schottischen Truppen belagert wurde. Anfang Januar 1313 hob der König die Belagerung auf und zog mit seinen Truppen ab. Dies machte die englischen Wachen vermutlich nachlässig, denn die Schotten unternahmen in der Nacht vom 7. auf den 8. Januar 1313 einen Überraschungsangriff. Im Schutz der Dunkelheit durchwateten die leichtgerüsteten schottischen Soldaten den Wassergraben. Dabei soll der König zur Verwunderung eines am Angriff beteiligten französischen Ritters in der ersten Reihe durch das eiskalte Wasser gegangen sein. Mit Hilfe von Leitern und Strickleitern erklommen die Schotten die Stadtmauer, wobei der König als zweiter die Mauerkrone erreichte. Die überrumpelte Besatzung ergab sich fast kampflos. Mehrere schottische Adlige, die in englischen Diensten standen, gerieten in Gefangenschaft, vor allem neben dem Kommandanten William Oliphant auch der Earl of Strathearn sowie Sir Alexander Abernethy. Der übrigen Besatzung wurde freier Abzug erlaubt. Allerdings ließ der König einige führende schottische Bürger der Stadt hinrichten. Ob der König aber wirklich in der ersten Reihe kämpfte, gilt nach anderen Historikern als unwahrscheinlich. Vermutlich hatte David Strathbogie entscheidenden Anteil an der Eroberung, denn der König belohnte ihn kurz darauf mit reichen Besitzungen in Perthshire. Da Strathbogie aber im nächsten Jahr Bruce wieder verriet, verschwiegen die Chronisten seine Rolle bei Perth und erklärten stattdessen, dass der König selbst die Führung der Eroberung hatte.

Folgen
Die Eroberung von Perth war ein weiteres Beispiel dafür, wie die Schotten zwischen 1308 und 1314 zahlreiche von den Engländern besetzte Städte und Burgen eroberten. Wenn die Festungen nicht ausgehungert werden konnten, mussten sich die Schotten dabei auf Überraschungsangriffe verlassen, da sie über keine technisch anspruchsvollen Belagerungsmaschinen und deren erfahrene Bedienungen verfügten. Wie bei anderen zuvor eroberten Burgen und Städten ließ Bruce die Befestigungen von Perth schleifen. Einen Monat nach der Eroberung von Perth ergab sich im März 1313 die ausgehungerte Besatzung von Dumfries, und vermutlich ergaben sich wenig später Caerlaverock, Buittle Castle und weiteren kleineren Burgen. Damit hatte Robert Bruce seit 1308 bis auf wenige stark befestigte Burgen fast alle befestigten Plätze in Schottland zurückerobert. Die Eroberung dieser großen Anzahl von Burgen war eine der größten militärischen Operationen der britischen Geschichte.

Is the Actor Model just a new "shiny object" for developers to chase after, a fad soon to be abandoned? In fact, the Actor Model was first designed in 1973–over 20 years before brands like Yahoo! and Hotmail first showed up on the young internet. Created to address the long-term direction of computing and software development, the Actor Model is almost as old as object-oriented programming itself, and, according to Forrester Research in a recent webinar, is seeing "renewed interest as cloud concurrency challenges grow."
Why actors are so exceptionally well-suited for use with Domain-Driven Design, speaking the Ubiquitous Language of your core business domain.
How actors are designed to gracefully handle failure, maintaining system resilience and responsiveness to users no matter what's happening.
How actors help you reactively scale your systems to meet concurrency demands, elastically growing up and out to handle peak load, and shrinking when not, to minimize your infrastructure footprint and hardware needs.


AMD, which has previously innovated new technologies in high-performance computing and graphics engineering technology, aims to ensure hassle-free incorporation of AMD systems in organizations. Consequently, AMD has announced its latest additions to its PRO mobile processor series, which claims to provide power-efficient performance, significantly bumped-up battery life and improved security detail. The new lineup is focussed towards enhancing the convenience for business users.
The new lineup includes 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen PRO Mobile Processors (with Radeon Vega GPU) and AMD Athlon PRO mobile processors with a similar VEGA GPU. The primary incorporation of these processors would include premium professional notebooks and everyday-usage notebooks. Also, the company is planning to introduce its new lineup in the upcoming HP and Lenovo notebooks, which will make their way into the market in the second quarter this year. Updates for the same are expected to be released later in the year 2019.
The 12nm mobile processors claim to increase productivity and deliver best-in-class performance. Also, the company states that the AMD Ryzen PRO 3000 series processors offer up to 16% more multi-threader processor performance than other similar processors in the market. Further claims include up to 12 hours of office usage, 14% faster content creation and best-in-grade security features.


It felt like a tremendous privelege to be able to attend the Laura Dance festival. The event isn't well publicised and I think that's because it is really an event for the indigenous communities of Cape York (and some others) and anybody else who wants to make the effort to come to Laura, well, they're welcome too.
The event is really a dance competition. There's a competition for juniors and another for seniors. One central performing area, market and food stalls around, and a second stage for a concert on the Saturday night.
The dances are cultural, and the judges pointed out they weren't judging culture but other elements of the performances. Performances varied: Groups from the north had fantastic headdresses and drums, as you came a little south the dress was more grass skirts and body pants. The southern most groups wore body paint and loincloths, and were accompanied by didgeridoo (musical instrument of Aboriginal Australia).
We really enjoyed the Laura Dance Festival of 2017, it really was a privilege to be there.
At $150 for 3 days, with camping at the festival site included, it didn't even break the bank.

House Panel Finds Lawmakers Did Not Break Rules in Foley Scandal
Politics Dec 8, 2006 5:35 PM EST
The committee issued its final report Friday on the scandal that rocked Congress in late September, finding that no member of Congress or staffer had violated any rules. The report did conclude that many people involved decided "to remain willfully ignorant of the potential consequences" of Foley's actions.
The panel did not recommend sanctions against any member or aide, but did speculate on why some who may have known about Foley failed to act.
"Some may have been concerned that raising the issue too aggressively might have risked exposing Rep. Foley's homosexuality," the report reads. "There is some evidence that political considerations played a role in decisions that were made by persons in both parties."
Foley, a Florida Republican, abruptly resigned on Sept. 29, 2006 as news of his inappropriate text messages to minors who were working as pages in the House first became public.
The conservative congressman entered a substance abuse treatment center immediately after resigning and may himself have been a victim of sexual abuse by a Catholic priest when he was a boy. He completed treatment for "behavioral problems" in November.
Foley refused to testify before the ethics panel but still faces a state and federal criminal investigation into his computer conversations with teenagers.
Outgoing House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., came under fire for his handling of the Foley situation when some members of Congress said they had informed his office of Foley's actions.
Hastert has publicly said he doesn't recall the conversations and said he would dismiss any member of his staff that had not acted on the warnings. But both Majority Leader John Boehner of Ohio and Rep. Tom Reynolds of New York have said they informed the speaker last spring.
The ethics committee appeared to back Reynolds and Boehner. "The speaker's reported statement in response to Majority Leader Boehner that the matter 'has been taken care of' is some evidence that the speaker was aware of some concern regarding Rep. Foley's conduct" even prior to the spring conversation, the report said.

First Reactions To Upcoming 'West Side Story' Are In! Find Out What The People Are Saying!
By Z-rowe November 30, 2021 November 30, 2021 Industry News
Everyone has been patiently waiting for more information on Steven Spielberg's upcoming 'West Side Story' adaptation. They had been extremely protective of this flick for months, but now, just a little over a week before its wide release, the first reactions are here!
The film had its world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles. The musical movie event premiered just days after the death of Stephen Sondheim, who wrote the lyrics for the original production of the musical.
Early reactions from the premiere have been overwhelmingly positive. Check out some of the tweets below…
Spielberg & Kushner's West Side Story is powerful, driven by Bernstein & Sondheim's sublime music and a gifted cast. With all the movie's muscular choreography, the standouts are Broadway's Ariana DeBose as Anita & Oscar-winning original Rita Moreno, and newcomer Rachel Zegler.
— Anne Thompson (@akstanwyck) November 30, 2021
Embargo lifted: I saw West Side Story tonight and I'm happy to report that musical theater will show up at the Oscars for impeccable visuals, Ariana DeBose is A DAMN STAR and it's only the beginning for Rachel Zegler. I love this for us.
— Ayanna P. (@AyannaPrescod) November 30, 2021
WEST SIDE STORY is *phenomenal.* Steven Spielberg has been talking about making a musical for almost his entire career, and this was worth the wait. This is top-tier Spielberg.
— Chris Evangelista (@cevangelista413) November 30, 2021
Reactions are sometimes boosted during premiere events, but I think it's fair to say the hype is real with this one.
This could potentially make a lot of noise this awards season. West Side Story will hit theaters on December 10.
Check out the trailer below…

Three Polis members receive SUM Campaign funding
Ghent's Transit Authority has developed a targeted campaign during the sales period. This is traditionally a very busy period, with inevitable traffic jams, and cars queuing up to capture the very last free parking place in the city centre. The campaign will target citizens and city visitors with the aim to promote sustainable travel during shopping period in December 2012. Poster will be displayed on buses, at public transport stops and in shops. The campagn will also make large use of the social media, radios and newspapers to reach a wider audience.
The city of Utrecht, the Netherlands, intends to change the citizens' travel behaviour and encourage car sharing, with an aim to reduce car journeys and on-street parking. The unique concept of the campaign is the co-operation with current car sharers and the target group itself (post-motorists, i.e. citizens who deal with life-changing moments). Several actions will take place in neighbourhoods where the target group is common, such as a road show with shared cars and different performances.
This selected campaing in the city of Cork, Ireland, is an initiative by Cork Environmental, in partnership, to promote more sustainablemodes of transport by encouraging people to mix their mode of transport during March. The aim being that through positive experiences in doing so that people would continue changed behaviour patterns in how they get to and from school, work, the shops or the gym etc. The initiative will run for the month of March 2013 and will primarily be focused on Cork city and surburban areas suchas bus and train commuter routes. There will be targeted initiatives each week with some complementary eventshappening throughout the month to boost profile and engage with "Mix Your Mode".
The second 'Call for Proposals', which will be launched early March 2013 to co-finance actions taking place between July and December 2013.

Fans React to $73 Million Ex-Celtics' Starter's Struggles

Getty Evan Fournier #13, New York Knicks
Evan Fournier is entering the second season of a four-year, $73 million contract he signed with the New York Knicks in 2021. 13 games into the season, Fournier is averaging 6.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.7 assists while shooting 34.4 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three. Fournier will be paid $18 million by the Knicks during the 2022-23 season.
Fournier's play stood out in a bad way when the Knicks played the Oklahoma City Thunder on November 13, in which he put up two assists and one steal but nothing else in 20 minutes. The Twitter account KnicksMuse made note of this, though they got the numbers wrong.

Fournier had a pretty short stint with the Celtics when he was traded to them in 2021. Fournier played only 16 regular season games and five playoff games before they were eliminated by the Brooklyn Nets in the first round. They received a $17.1 million trade exception when they signed and traded Fournier to the Knicks, which they did not use.
Fournier's Performances Against the Celtics Last Season
Fournier put on some of the best scoring performances of his career against the Celtics during the 2021-22 season. On opening night, Fournier put up 32 points on 13-for-25 shooting from the field, which played a hand in the Knicks beating the Celtics in overtime.

The 32 points Fournier put up that night tied his career-high at the time. Fournier then put up 32 points on 13-for-24 shooting from the field in the next matchup between the Knicks and the Celtics, although the Knicks would go on to lose to the Celtics 114-107.

According to StatMuse, those three performances scoring-wise against the Celtics were three of Fournier's five highest-scoring outings of his career, as he put up two 32-point performances during his days with the Orlando Magic. Fournier also had one 30-point performance against the Celtics in the eight years he played for the Magic.
Fournier did not play in the last game between the Knicks and the Celtics on January 8. The Celtics went on to win that game 99-75.
Fournier's Performance Against the Celtics This Season
The Celtics had their first matchup against the Knicks on November 5. Not only did the Celtics go on to win 133-118, but Fournier was not able to keep up the same production he was consistently putting up against them last season.
Fournier not only came off the bench, but in 11 minutes, he put up three points on one three-point field goal while putting up one steal, one assist, and one rebound to go with two turnovers. Fournier also had a plus/minus of minus-19, which was the second-lowest among Knicks, ahead of only Obi Toppin.
The scoring average Fournier is putting up this season – 6.9 – is his lowest scoring average since his rookie year with the Denver Nuggets.

Project managers at the US space agency NASA and the US Geological Survey (USGS), which initially will share responsibility for operating the satellite, have validated its onboard systems and had hoped to begin routine image collection by 15 August.
But technical problems with outside users connecting to the Earth Observing System (EOS) data gateway have pushed back the date, probably to late August or early September, according to Ralph Thompson, programme manager at USGS for Landsat 7.
Like previous versions, Landsat 7 will return multispectral images with a resolution of 30 metres. But it adds a panchromatic channel with a resolution of 15 metres and a thermal infrared channel with a resolution of 60 metres. Users will be able to combine the high-resolution black-and-white images with the lower-resolution data to produce synthetic colour images with greater detail.
The satellite marks the return of Landsat to government ownership. In 1992, Congress admitted that attempts to privatize Landsat had failed and passed a law calling for the government to operate the next satellite in the series and to sell its data at cost price.
But the advent of low-cost imagery was delayed by the loss of Landsat 6 shortly after its launch in 1993, and by problems with the power-supply hardware of the Enhanced Thematic Mapper on Landsat 7 before the launch of the latter.
Now that Landsat 7 is operating in orbit as planned, images will be much cheaper. The Earth Observation Satellite Company (EOSAT), which marketed Landsat images in the mid-1980s, charged up to $4,400 for a single 185 by 170 kilometre 'scene'.
Even a modest land-use study could therefore rack up a hefty bill for pictures. "You really couldn't afford it," says Samuel Goward, chairman of the University of Maryland geography department, who heads NASA's 14-member Landsat science team.
Raw Landsat 7 images will be sold through the USGS EROS Data Center in South Dakota for just $475 a scene. This should put Landsat imagery in the hands of many more researchers, says Goward.
Equally important, he says, is the programme's commitment to collecting cloud-free images of the entire land surface of the Earth, with regular seasonal updating. Targets of interest can be photographed every 16 days, the period between Landsat passes over a particular location.
Around 150,000 Landsat 7 scenes will be collected each year — 250 every day at the EROS Data Center, and another 200 at the dozen or so international Landsat stations. These will store images of regional interest and set their own pricing policies. International users will also be able to buy images from the EROS centre.
Commercial software packages and more powerful desktop computers have combined to make the data easier to interpret and manipulate, he says. But he estimates that "we're only halfway" to the point where an untrained scientist can download a Landsat image and start using it for research.
According to Goward, a decade of high prices and patchy data availability (EOSAT had reduced the number of pictures taken by Landsat to save costs) have slowed the development of easy-to-use image analysis packages.
He adds that the Landsat science team and others can develop software to bridge the gap between the relatively small group accustomed to using remote-sensing images and the wider scientific community.
Thomas Lillesand, director of the University of Wisconsin at Madison's Environmental Remote Sensing Center and current president of the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, says the drastic reduction of Landsat data costs is partly a recognition that the commercial market in remote sensing is about to shift to higher-resolution data.

Whale Cove Inn
Not only for what it is — but also what it's surrounded by — this boutique inn ranks among the best retreats a visitor could enjoy on the Central Oregon Coast
The Whale Cove Inn is the essence of quiet comfort and luxury, a balance of rest and relaxation perfect for those who want to be assured of a great coast experience, regardless of season or weather.
The Inn is surrounded by the very heart of beauty for which the Central Coast is renowned the world 'round. While it might sound cliché to hear (as the video above says) that guests of Whale Cove Inn can experience such beauty "without even leaving your room," I can honestly attest that from my private balcony at the Inn, during multiple stays there, I've seen gray whales, bald eagles, blue herons, newborn seal pups, awesome sunsets and storm-whipped waves. While the view offers something different every time I go, it always, somehow, remains beautifully the same.
The Inn's surroundings couldn't be more impressive. Less than two miles north, the sidewalks of Depoe Bay — "Whale Watching Capital of the World" — are lined with curio shops, eateries, galleries and more. For adventuresome souls, "The World's Smallest Harbor" is gateway to professional whale watching and sportfishing charters. My personal favorite attractions include:
● Tidal Raves Restaurant (where Charlize Theron once headlined a Hollywood movie) eternally offers a menu rivaled only by a breathtaking view of the bay
● Dueling "spouting horns" in the center of town that, when "on," are a natural wonder to behold
● Watching gray whales spout and dive throughout the bay — I once even filmed a pod of Orcas
Just one mile south of the Inn, Cape Foulweather's towering rock vista encompasses a vast expanse of ocean, "The Devil's Punchbowl" sea cave, myriad tide pools, miles of sandy beach, and in the dusky distance, the beckoning beacon of Newport's historic lighthouse at Yaquina Head.
Conveniently located right on Highway 101, Whale Cove Inn honestly manages to provide its guests with an "off the beaten path" feeling that is truly, as the saying goes, priceless.
If it sounds like I'm a big fan of Whale Cove Inn, it's simply because I am. Subscribe below … watch the video above … and I'm absolutely certain — you'll soon be a big fan, too.

The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is a lukewarm disappoint, failing to capture that same creative magic as the original film. This time around, the jokes aren't funny, the story is convoluted and everything is definitely not awesome.
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is reassurance that the LEGO Movie fad has definitely overstayed its welcome. The LEGO Movie was a creative spark to the animation genre, providing a creative storytelling method that was full of energy and excitement. The LEGO Batman Movie proved that you could do it again. Sadly, The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is a dud (which is what I also heard of The LEGO Ninjago Movie, but I haven't seen it just yet), flatlining where the original film soared. This time around, the universal message feels watered down and slapped on, while the jokes feel forced and tired.
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part takes place five years after the events of the first film, which involved President Business (Will Ferrell) trying to destroy the world, while Emmet (Chris Pratt), Lucy (Elizabeth Banks), Batman (Will Arnett) and friends helped save it.
The LEGO Movie was directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller taking yet another popular property and turning it into something fun and approachable for all ages. They did this before with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and have continued doing so (see 21/22 Jump Street and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse).
Unfortunately, they've stepped down as directors for The LEGO Movie 2, passing on those duties to Mike Mitchell, but still sticking with the story/writing credits.
My initial frustration with the film comes from Mitchell's directing style not being able to keep up with the rapid-pace firing of jokes and insanity that are now trademarks of Lord/Miller. But the more the film moves forward, the more the jokes stop saying something clever and instead try roping in as many random references as possible.
Sure, some of the references are hilarious and truly funny, but a bulk of them feel forced and pointless when comparing them to the overall purpose of the story.
If The LEGO Movie was about the evils of capitalism, then The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is about what happens once you overthrow capitalism? It doesn't make much sense as the world is now closer to Mad Mad: Fury Road than it is anything relating to our modern society. One could argue that it's about the power of socialism, but I'm just going to stick with its core themes of working together and rebuilding, despite the whole subplot surrounding Emmet learning not to trust his friends and to be "more mature" by making hard decisions that he absolutely doesn't agree with.
The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part is a wildly confusing film, both tonally and creatively. Is it a smart movie that can both cater to the kiddos and tell a meaningful message to adults? Kind of, I guess. But for every wisecrack joke or random reference, there's an equally silly and stupid plot point or musical number that stalls the film's good graces.
I absolutely adored The LEGO Movie and wanted nothing more then to praise its sequel and continue the "Everything is Awesome" movement, but so much of The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part feels like a tired attempt at replicating the first film's magic, only this time the same directors didn't even want to bother.
The script is convoluted, yet hollow, while the animation fails to make up for the lacking story. Heck, the assembled cast this time around even feels less engaged with the material. The best part of the entire film is Jason Momoa's Aquaman cameo that I'm sure came from clips cut out from the actual Aquaman movie trailer.
Everything is definitely not awesome in this pushy sequel that fails on all levels of telling a coherent and worthwhile continuation of a near-perfect film.

19 prisonersThe Battle for the Recapture of Corregidor, from 16 February to 26 February 1945, pitted American liberation forces against the defending Japanese garrison on the island fortress. Prior to the Japanese invasion in 1942, the USAFFE had held the bastion until they surrendered in 1942.
The retaking of the island officially named Fort Mills, along with the bloody battle to liberate Manila and the earlier recapture of the Bataan Peninsula, by invading U.S. forces from the occupying Japanese, marked the redemption of the American and Filipino surrender on 6 May 1942 and the subsequent fall of the Philippines.
The surrender of Corregidor in 1942 and the ensuing grisly fate of its 11,000 American and Filipino defenders led to a particular sense of moral purpose in Gen. Douglas MacArthur, and as shown in the next campaigns for liberation of the Philippine archipelago, he showed no hesitation to commit the bulk of U.S. and Philippine forces under his command. To the American soldier, Corregidor was more than a military objective, long before the campaign to recapture it. The "Rock" had become an important symbol in United States history as the last Pacific outpost of any size to fall to the enemy in the early stages of the Pacific War.
Capture of Corregidor
The Japanese opened their attack on Corregidor with an aerial bombardment on 29 December 1941, several days after Gen. Douglas MacArthur moved his headquarters there, but the heaviest attacks throughout the siege were from artillery based on nearby Cavite and later, on Bataan. When the last American and Filipino troops on the peninsula surrendered on 9 April 1942, the Japanese were able to mass artillery for an all-out shelling of the Rock and its antiquated batteries.
The tunnel network that ran through the island's hills afforded protection to the defending garrison, but much of the defense activity had to be carried out in the open. By 4 May, many of the guns had been knocked out and the water supply was low, amid mounting casualties. Heavy shellfire preceded Japanese attempts to land the next night, and the Japanese later admitted their amazement at the savage resistance, which accounted for the sinking of two-thirds of their landing craft and losses amounting to 900 killed and 1,200 wounded, against U.S. losses of 800 dead and 1,000 wounded.
Strategy for recapture
Corregidor in 1945, though it lacked in importance to the defensive strategy of the Japanese than it previously had held for the Americans in early 1942, remained a formidable sentinel to the entrance of Manila Bay. Consequently, American planners thought it merited a separate attack.
Gen. MacArthur's strategy was to make a combined amphibious and airborne assault—among the most difficult of all modern military maneuvers—to retake the island. Though this particular plan of action had been used to good effect during the Luzon landings, the airborne phase was risky. As small as it was, at just over five square miles, the tadpole-shaped island made a difficult target for a parachute drop.
Complicating the strategy, however, was that the paratroopers were required to land on a hill known as Topside, the island's foremost dominant terrain feature. MacArthur's staff balked at the proposals, but on the other hand, there was little choice. From Topside, the Japanese could dominate all possible amphibious landing sites. Their premise was that the Japanese would certainly not expect an airborne landing on such an unlikely target.
The honors for recapturing the Rock went to the 503rd Parachute Regimental Combat Team of Lt. Col. George M. Jones and elements of Maj. Gen. Roscoe B. Woodruff's 24th Infantry Division, the same units which undertook the capture of Mindoro island.
On 23 January 1945, the aerial bombings to soften up the defenses on Corregidor commenced. Daily strikes by heavy bombers of the United States Army Air Forces continued until 16 February, with 595 tons of bombs dropped. Estimated figures since the bombing campaign started up to 24 February showed 2,028 effective sorties, with 3,163 tons of bombs dropped on Corregidor.
On 13 February the United States Navy added to the bombardment, with cruisers and destroyers shelling from close to shore and braving sporadic Japanese artillery counterfire, with minesweepers operating around the island by the next day. The softening up, or "gloucesterizing" [from "gloucesterize" — a new verb coined for intense pre-invasion bombings, after the same procedures were made prior to the Marine landings on Cape Gloucester, New Britain in December 1943] of the island of Corregidor lasted for three more days.
The naval bombardment on Corregidor, however, was not without incident. Water Tender First Class Elmer Charles Bigelow averted tragedy on board the USS "Fletcher" during action on 14 February 1945, when a Japanese shell struck the ship and penetrated the No. 1 gun magazine, igniting several powder cases. Bigelow picked up a pair of fire extinguishers and rushed below in a resolute attempt to quell the raging flames. Refusing to waste the precious time required to don rescue-breathing apparatus, Bigelow plunged through the blinding smoke billowing out of the magazine hatch and dropped into the blazing compartment. Despite the acrid, burning powder smoke which seared his lungs, he succeeded in quickly extinguishing the fires and in cooling the cases and bulkheads, thereby preventing further damage to the ship. Bigelow succumbed to his injuries the following day. His valor and personal sacrifice awarded him the Medal of Honor.
At sunrise of 16 February, attacks by B-24's and an hour of low-altitude bombings and strafing runs by A-20's preceded the landings.
Touchdown on Topside
At 8:33am on 16 February, barely three minutes late from their intended time, and facing 16-18 knot winds over the drop zones, the first of one thousand troopers of the 503rd PRCT based at Mindoro, began dropping out of C-47 troop carriers of the U.S. Thirteenth Air Force and to float down on the surprised Japanese defenders, remnants of Maj. Gen. Rikichi Tsukada's "Kembu Group" at the two tiny go-point areas of Topside's western heights. However, some paratroopers were blown back into Japanese held territory. Despite rumors to the contrary, no troopers drowned, though some who were unable to climb the cliffs through hostile territory, or had fallen close to the rocks were rescued near Wheeler Point.
Despite the grueling air and naval bombardment that left the defending troops dazed and scattered, they vigorously rallied, and fierce fighting erupted almost immediately. At one point that same morning, they threatened to drive a salient into the paratroopers' tenuous foothold on Topside.
Paratroopers and infantrymen waged a tenacious battle with the well dug-in and determined enemy. Private Lloyd G. McCarter, a scout attached to the 503rd, during the initial landing on 16 February, crossed 30 yards of open ground under intense fire and at pointblank range silenced a machine gun with hand grenades. On the afternoon of 18 February he killed six Japanese snipers. That evening, when a large force attempted to bypass his company, he voluntarily moved to an exposed area and opened fire. The Japanese attacked his position repeatedly throughout the night and was each time repulsed. By 02:00, all the men about him had been wounded; but shouting encouragement to his comrades and defiance at the enemy, he continued to bear the brunt of the attack, fearlessly exposing himself to locate Japanese soldiers and then pouring heavy fire on them. He repeatedly crawled back to his lines to secure more ammunition. When his submachine gun would no longer operate, he seized an automatic rifle and continued to inflict heavy casualties. This weapon, in turn, became too hot to use and, discarding it, he continued with an M-1 rifle. At dawn the Japanese attacked with renewed intensity. Exposing himself to hostile fire, he stood erect to locate the most dangerous enemy positions. He was seriously wounded; but, though he had already killed more than thirty Japanese soldiers, he refused to evacuate until he had pointed out immediate objectives for attack. Through his sustained and outstanding heroism in the face of grave and obvious danger, Pvt. McCarter was awarded the Medal of Honor.
Battle of Banzai Point
The most ferocious battle to regain Corregidor occurred at Wheeler Point on the night of 18 February and early morning of 19 February, when D and F Companies, 2nd Battalion, 503rd PRCT, settled down for defensive positions near Battery Hearn and Cheney Trail, when at 22:30 under a black, moonless night, 500 suicidal Japanese marines came out of the Battery Smith armory and charged the American and the Philippine positions. This was also the night Pvt. Lloyd McCarter earned his Medal of Honor. F Company stopped the frenzied attacks by the Japanese trying to break through to the south. Any minor breakthrough by the charge would have been cut short by the rear echelons.
Aside for flares fired throughout the night by warships laying offshore, the three-hour battle was decided only with rifles, automatic weapons and the indomitable courage of the fifty paratroopers ranged against the Japanese Special Landing Force, the best among the empire's fighting men. Not all men of the company were involved in the fighting because of the ensuing confusion. The savage encounter ended in failure with more than 250 Japanese corpses strewn along a 200-yard stretch of Cheney Trail. F Company suffered 14 dead and 15 wounded. This was the last attack of any significance by the Japanese on Corregidor. Official historians of the 503rd refer to Wheeler Point as Banzai Point.
Seizure of Malinta Hill
At the same time the 503rd paratroopers touched down at Topside, the first wave of 3rd Battalion under Lt. Col. Edward M. Postlethwait of the 24th Infantry Division's 34th Infantry Regiment under Col. Aubrey "Red" S. Newman waded ashore and established a beachhead at San Jose Point on the eastern end of Corregidor named Black Beach. The succeeding waves took the brunt of the hastily organized Japanese defense, and several landing craft and infantrymen became victims of landmines. The battalion pushed inland against sporadic resistance, mostly from groups coming out of the subterranean passages of the inland to waylay the advancing American troops.
Two 3rd Battalion units, K and L Companies under Captains Frank Centanni and Lewis F. Stearns, respectively, managed to fight their way and secure the road and both northern and southern entrances to Malinta Hill, while Capt. Gilbert Heaberlin's A Company stationed itself near the waterline. I Company under 1Lt. Paul Cain, staged at North Dock guarded the harbor. They intended to keep the Japanese troops inside the tunnel as other units moved inland, accompanied by tanks and flamethrower units that devastated pillboxes and tunnels in the surrounding areas held by the Japanese. And for eight straight days until 23 February, these units staved off successive banzai charges, mortar attacks, and even a suicide squad with explosives strapped to their bodies, killing over 300 Japanese.
On 21 February at 21:30, Malinta Hill reacted like a volcano when several detonations in quick succession tore it asunder. The Japanese trapped inside had blown themselves up, and after the explosions and rock falls ceased, some 50 Japanese scurried from inside to attack and the Americans mowed them down. Two nights later, a similar attack happened. Finally, engineers went to work, poured large quantities of gasoline down the tunnels and set them afire, then they sealed the tunnels' entrances. After some time, silence finally reigned inside Malinta Hill.
There were no more organized Japanese attacks for the rest of the campaign. Only isolated pockets of resistance continued to fight on with a suicidal frenzy until 26 February, when Corregidor was finally declared secured.
Large numbers of Japanese troops drowned while attempting to swim away from the Rock. Many Japanese, estimated in the thousands, sealed themselves in the numerous subterranean passages of the island. In compliance with the philosophy of Bushidō, the defenders, cowering in caves and tunnels like the ones at Malinta Hill, preferred to commit suicide rather than surrender. Corregidor reverberated with many underground explosions for days afterward.
There were a very few Japanese soldiers captured, but not without a price. An M4 Sherman tank fired a shell into a sealed tunnel suspected of harboring Japanese soldiers but which instead contained tons of stored ammunition. The subsequent tremendous explosion threw the 30-ton tank several dozen feet, killed four of its crew and forty-eight other U.S. soldiers and wounded more than a hundred.
By 1 March 1945, the devastated island bastion, with its harbor, the finest in the East, was officially opened to Allied shipping. Six days later, 7 March, Gen. MacArthur returned to the island fortress he had been forced to leave in disgrace three years before. "I see that the old flagpole still stands. Have your troops hoist the colors to its peak and let no enemy ever again haul it down", he said, at the ceremonial raising of the Stars and Stripes.
The perfectly coordinated triphibious American assault to recapture Corregidor left the 503rd PRCT with 169 killed and 531 wounded. The 34th Infantry Regiment suffered 38 killed and 153 wounded. Of the 2,065 men of both lifts by the 503rd PRCT, about 280 were killed or severely injured. Three men suffered parachute malfunctions, and two men who collided with buildings were killed. Eight men were killed either in the air or before they were able to get free of their chutes, and a further 50 were wounded in the air or upon grounding. Several men were missing in action at the drop. The total injuries (not by wounding) on the drop were 210.
For many recent years, Japanese sources have estimated that there were about 6,700 Japanese on the island when the 503rd PRCT and 34th Infantry landed, of which, only 50 survived. Another nineteen were taken prisoner, but 20 Japanese stragglers surfaced after the war on 1 January 1946.
Corregidor today is a premium tourist destination in the Philippines. Over the years, most of the decrepit artillery pieces and significant battle sites on the island have been restored as important historical landmarks.
