In an interview, Milch once said he picked 2014 because it was 7 years from the original air date, and that 7 is traditionally a sacred number.  Milch often shrugged off details acting as though they were superficial, but as we all here know, NOTHING about JFC was superficial, especially to David Milch.  :)
And sometimes I think he was being guided by John's Father in Cincinnati, whether he was aware or not. :) :) :)

Greetings, all, hope summer 2013 finds us all well. 

Well, what we know is that in a bit more than a year "WE are coming 9/11/14" :)

Is it too early to suggest thoughts about this upcoming anniversary date -- on ALL and ANY levels?

If anyone is still visiting here, feel free to speak your mind out loud.   8)

Wow.  "Bad" Luck, for sure.  Will HBO finish airing the finished episodes?  Or is this it? 

["WE are coming 9 11 14"]

Gosh, I tried to find a link or two for you, but I have failed.  But please believe me when I say I heard David Milch himself say that HBO was worried about the budget.  I absolutely recall the phrase "cost overruns", and thinking "bull, this show was not that expensive to make, at least by HBO standards."

Yes, and we sure know the HBO ratings con:  "They're not TV numbers, they're HBO numbers" :)

So, when you watch Luck, think of the cost compared to the Snug Harbor budget.  It will amaze you.

And yes, John was ahead of his time, too.  But time will fly!  :)  Remember, "WE are coming 9 11 14"

Am I the only one here who SAW the premiere?  Now, correct me if i"m wrong, but isn't the show not set to air until January?  They will undoubtedly re-air this pilot?

OK........    that being said,  ???  ........  I do not wish to talk about Luck right now. (Even though it was VERY well done, and I will probably keep watching it.) 

What I DO wish to say is:  I was right again!!!  Lol...  Long time ago, they said JFC was too expensive to warrant a second season.  Remember that?  Even Milch said that.  Well, let me tell you, folks, this show Luck must have cost them (seriously) about 100 times the operating budget.  Wait till you see this.  It is grandiose beyond imagining.

No spoiler alerts from me.  You watch it in January, and as you do, think about what they spent on this.

Thanks, Sven!  And yes life is good. :) 

"We're gonna need a bigger boat!" ;D

Sven2,

Any links for either the SurferMag or Tumblr articles?  The internet is Big. :)

Zen, look up, the links are added as you wished. (Apologies, being a mod I invaded your post, so it would stay as the last on the thread. Good to see you, BTW. How's life?)
Sven.

Ah, yes, the stick man!  :)  I always included arms on my childhood stick men.

And this pyramid tunnel "graffitti" was certainly not made by a CroMagnon cave artist.  Whenever the Giza pyramid was constructed,  the men who had privy to that tunnel were incredibly sophisticated men - and built a structure, SOMEHOW, that today's construction engineers say they doubt they could build today, even with our modern technology.

So the guessing game goes on.  Fun, huh?  :)

[NO]

I have NO idea!

But my instinct tends to steer me in a far-out direction.  I think it may be a symbol lingering in our "collective consciousness".  We may be carrying around "genetic memories".  Now what will bake your noodle later is this:  Did Milch "channel" a universal symbol from our ancient past, or did the pyramid builders intuit it from an HBO show that wouldn't happen for thousands of years? :) :) :)

Hey, get a load of the symbol carved inside a small shaft within the Great Pyramid of Giza:

Look carefully at the circular inset by the map.

Wow!  Stunningly well said!

I am about to send the box set to a scientist (NASA consultant) and his wife (Doctor of nutrition and holistic arts), and I was going to try to craft a letter that could prepare them for JFC.  To athiests and scientists, a good book to read is "Rolling Thunder" by Doug Boyd.  It is the chronicaled healings done in the 70s by a Shoshone tribal medicine man named Rolling Thunder, in front of hundreds of doctors (MDs and PhDs) at the Menninger Foundation in Topeka Kansas.

If the western mind can "believe" that even miracles are understandable, (requiring perhaps science advanced past current levels), then the possibilities of the John From Cincinnati mythos pop into very real allignment with our troubled world.  If so, folks like Zodzelig, and everyone here, can take the "leap of faith" into the New Golden Age promised in all of our ancient myths.

PS... lol... I really didn't know that either Gregg Allman OR Steve Miller were still alive!  I'll bet that was a GREAT show!

Absolutely, Sven, I am just easing into this one.  :)

I am inspired in short bursts!  Lol... 

Another way to put it:  this is big!  This is HUGE!!!  And I have to "get orderly" so as not to damage what little crediblity I have left on the web.

You should have seen me over at the Space.com bbs -- they really didn't want to hear that I think mankind might have "began" on Mars, that NASA has covered up most of what they found on the moon, and that Einstein veered hard left from real, complete  physics!! :)

Anyway, you bet I will be continuing, as long as you guys are patient with me.

Sven,
No, I agree, Dianna's funeral WAS a media circus, and had, in and of itself, NO magic whatsoever.   And never mind the Bedouins, I didn't even watch it.  But I remember my old Mom was deeply touched by it.  All the Princeton Eggs project  shows is that collectively, if enough humans focus on the same thing, at the same time, with enough emotional investment, we seem to be able to have physical effects on physical systems, in NON-material ways. 

And I think (personal belief here) our future as humans might just include abilities to help and heal each other, and our planet, simply by applied group-consciousness.

I think that was what John Monad was doing in Imperial Beach.  :)  I mean he got Vietnam Joe to rally the Vets, got Cissy and the groms to join in on the search party for Shawn, got Ramon into a suit and Church, got Mitch to talk to the media, hell he even got two drug-dealing gangsters to PRAY!!!   

And for me, the line of stick men above Barry's bar symbolized this miracle.
