It’s a Celebration of Michael J. Fox!

Today October 21, 2015 marks a prophetic date from Back to the Future. Fans call this “Back to the Future Day.” You’ll read about this all over the Internet. Plus, you’ll hear about this on all of the cable news channels and every major TV network worth its weight in salt.
This post pays tribute to the one and only Michael J. Fox.
Michael J. Fox remains my favorite celebrity since childhood. Who can forget about Life with Mikey? Growing up, I used to watch Family Ties reruns and Spin City episodes with a passion. Man, TV was a lot different then. I can’t tell you how many times I saw the Back to the Future franchise on TBS, NBC, ABC and ‘you pick a station.’

 

I’ve been wanting to blog about Michael J. Fox for months. I couldn’t pick a better time than now to publish this post. Sometimes, you have to go with the flow and surf the waves.
It’s a celebration of Michael J. Fox here at Guru Jay. This phenomenal person happens to be a phenomenal actor as well. Despite living with Parkinson’s disease, Michael continues to shine his light. I don’t believe that he realizes his powerful effect on people as an actor and advocate.

A few years ago, I recall watching Doc Hollywood with my mom and big brother during a snowy winter night. It was right around Christmas and we were in the spirit eating cookies and drinking hot chocolate. We watched a lot of movies around this time, but I only remember seeing Doc Hollywood.

You see just when we thought we had seen every Michael J. Fox movie we came across Doc Hollywood On Demand. Watching this movie remains one of the best family bonding moments because of Michael J. Fox’s perseverance. I didn’t know while filming that the actor started showing symptoms for the first time and trembling. In spite of physical challenges, Michael J. Fox delivered a body of work to behold. Celebrate Michael J. Fox for his acting and activism.

Why Jimi Hendrix Was the Greatest

Do you like rock and roll? I like it when the band jumps into the crowd.Then, at the very end they smash the guitar to pieces and the stage catches on fire.
It’s well known that every rock star destroys property. Go inside a rock band’s hotel room. You’ll find that everything is broken because that’s how real rock stars roll.
Groupies are probably the best part of the tour. The majority of us live in a conformist society. So, alternative lifestyles are appealing to music fans.
Jimi Hendrix
Although Jimi Hendrix died in 1970, most of his groupies were born in the ‘80s and 90’s. Why is this the case? Jimi Hendrix was young at heart.
It’s unfortunate that his life was cut short. While Jimi’s body left the world when he was only 27, his spirit is still with us. His music lives forever. 
Hendrix was the greatest guitar soloist of all time. Contrary to popular belief, he didn’t play the electric guitar. No, the man played with electricity. 
He was more than a musician. Did you know he was a soldier? After getting arrested for theft, the judge said he could go to prison or enlist in the army.
What’s your favorite Jimi Hendrix song? Do you like Purple Haze? If you love music, listen to The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Can you imagine Woodstock without the electric guitarist? Without question, Jimi Hendrix still has a strong impact on music. If I could time travel, I’d go back to 1970 and save Jimi Hendrix.

Are You a Browncoat? How About That Firefly TV Show

Do you like Firefly? Are you a Browncoat? If you enjoy science fiction you’ll like this TV show. Although it survived only 1 season, there are a number of great episodes.
Firefly gives you value. It’s a low budget Star Dust with high aspirations. In other words, it’s a wannabe Star Trek/ Star Wars.
The TV show allows the audience to escape. For an hour, you forget about your bills due next week. For an hour, your worries go away.
In itself Firefly is unrealistic. But, if you have a vivid imagination, then this is your show! Firefly uniquely blends space and time travel.
If you can’t sleep, watch Firefly on demand.
It’s fun. Gina Torres reminds me a lot of Rudolph the red nose reindeer because she’s a brownnoser. And she makes the season bright.
The Serenity movie falls short of writing, direction, and production. There are YouTube videos better than this film. I’m a Firefly fan who dislikes Serenity. Am I the only 1?
When it’s late at night, I sometimes watch the Tonight Show. I used to stay up longer in watch Conan O’Brien when he was on NBC. Then, after that I watch Science Fiction and Fantasy.
TV always gets better with time because you can go back into the archive. Let’s dig up a little dirt. Stephenie Meyer needs to give credit to the Twilight Zone and True Blood.
Firefly has a highly engaged fan base. Check out the community. You’ll learn facts about characters, storylines, and more.

Do You Like Science Fiction And Fantasy?

Let’s go on an adventure. First, I’ll take you to the moon. Then, we’ll tour our solar system. Let’s hope we don’t get lost in a black hole. Worst-case scenario, we’ll end up in a perpendicular world inside a parallel universe. 

Close your eyes and imagine. This is your time. So, take it. Soar above the stars and glide next to the cosmos. Launch into space and collect some stardust.

Along the journey, take a few pictures and put them on  [Pinterest], [Twitter] and [Instagram]. Our trip is sponsored by: NASA, Albert Einstein, and John Lennon.

Watch out for the asteroids. Because there’s so much out there in space, it’s easy to get spaced-out. Outer space is like the Wild West multiplied by a trillion. Be prepared for a bumpy ride. It’s the best rollercoaster ride of all time.   

When you awaken let’s get back down to earth. Who doesn’t love to fantasize? Albert Einstein said imagination is more important than knowledge. John Lennon’s [Imagine] is a timeless classic, because imagination never gets old.

Have you ever dreamed of [time travel]? There are so many good movies about time travel.  [Back to the Future series] and [Time Cop] are my favorites. I haven’t seen [The Time Traveler’s Wife], but critics love it.

Would you like to know what is to come? [Gattaca], [In Time], and [Equilibrium] take you on a quest. Each has a unique depiction of the future. However, their perspectives are the same. In essence, in these films society is overtaken by technology.

Steve Jobs used technology as a means to increase the quality of life for millions upon millions. I believe in the notion proposed by Walt Disney “If you can dream it, you can do it. Jobs, the founder of Pixar saw the big picture and dreamed.

Steve Jobs changed history by dreaming up [Pixar], the [iPhone], and [Ipad]. His product lines will live forever. He made many everlasting footprints in our universe.

Star Wars Vs. Star Trek

BY: GURU JAY

Star Wars Vs. Star Trek
What’s your pick, Star Wars or Star Trek? As a movie critic, I admire both series. I believe they complement each other. What would Stars Wars be without Star Trek, and vice-versa? The answer: a monopoly.
Nobody likes monopolies. People want choices. Picture only drinking Pepsi. There’s been a universal ban of Coca-Cola. We can go to McDonald’s, but Burger King has gone out of business. That would be the day!
You see Star Trek needs Star Wars just as much as summer needs winter? Rather than picking one, let’s appreciate it all.
Star Wars offers something valuable and so does Star Trek. Its characters Darth Vader, Yoda and R2-D2 fascinate me. James Earl Jones’ voice is legendary.

What is Star Trek’s answer: Spock. Oh yeah, William Shatner wasn’t too bad either.
On the flip side, Spock. Spock exemplifies the future of space travel. He’s the leader you want in case of an all out galactic universal war.
Star Trek has the most devoted fans. Star Wars’ fans seem flaky. Numbers matter in the entertainment industry.
In financial terms, Star Wars leaves Star Trek behind in the Star Dust. By the way, who is a fan of Star Dust? Star Wars is worth $30 billion.
From a marketing perspective, Star Wars has a clear advantage. Who remembers taking a Star Wars lunchbox to Kindergarten? Merchandise is a big part of the equation.
As a child, I had Star Wars’ toys. Does Star Trek even make toys? Call me superficial, but I am in awe at the commercial success of Star Wars.

Star Wars captures your imagination. That’s why it’s better. And, It’s bigger too.
