Sad that people kill wolves.

They help control wildlife populations.

Wolves think, we too wild for humans, but we like.

Cool humans think, wolves, I like!

White Fang!

Never Cry Wolf

Isolated research.

Alone in the country.

Invariably noting sundry distinct sounds.

Voluminous birds.

Curious critters. 

Enigmatic symphony.

Wondrous focus. 

When I arrive, my thoughts still rush with the anxious bustle of urban conjecture, odd distractions and flippant ridiculousness madeleine mayhem surreally strewn.

As the weeks pass however the surrounding environment is slowly absorbed, unconsciously restructuring manifest daydreams with new material less temperamental. 

Piecemeal immersion gradually concentrating psychological synergies throughout the mind, nature encouraging chill observation with delicate tact and studious ponder.

It's fun to stretch out and listen to the adventurous sounds and resident harmonies, without getting lost in wide-eyed reverie awkwardly concerning uncanny discourse.

It's kind of like Mindfulness or a tranquil zone in which you existentially float, attuning your ear to the swathing sounds until you can tell the difference between a dragonfly and hummingbird (in unseen flight).

But for hours and hours throughout the day, not just for 5 minutes on your coffee break, the extended visceral celestial thought facilitating freeform imagination.

You can wind-up making friends with wolves and starting to think you're playing an active role, to the point where you see a deer at the end of your driveway and think he or she's wondering where you've been.

Extensive studies in the bush can require chillaxed adaptability. 

It helps if you never stopped loving animals. 

Who may seem somewhat curious about you. 

Tomorrowland

Cloaked like a pessimistic counterproductive dagger, Tomorrowland brakes to nourishingly excel, the forces of darkness coveting rash inevitability, unforeseen factors, championing propulsive change.

Marshmallow.

A bright young girl (Britt Robertson as Casey Newton) is given the rare opportunity to interdimensionally express her points of view, but she requires the aid of a jaded visionary (George Clooney as Frank Walker) who made a mess of things hardwiring his.

A cascading proacticon (Raffey Cassidy as Athena) facilitates their endeavours, doing everything she can to make dreams live again, the sequestered realm where the gifted resuscitate having physically broken down, to the point of planetary exclusion.

A product of inbreeding.

Their leader (Hugh Laurie as Nix) suffers from bitter exposure, hopelessness, having lost the capability to separate slime from synergies.

But Casey still believes.

And her wondrous enthusiasm calls Frank to action, a towering historical flight, to breathe life into despondent degeneracy.

Pitter patter.

Liked Tomorrowland's positive message.

Encouraging for youth and adults alike, it explores the big picture from an innocent perspective which breaks through the immense complications that prevent people from thinking constructively.

Slow moving change isn't always the best option, but it enables groups to move forward collectively at a subdued yet surefire pace, that allows multiple stakeholders to make structural adjustments to various infrastructures without inciting furious passions that can be rather destructive if imposed on a mass cultural scale.

An obsession with immediate gratification can be problematic when operating in this fashion.

Patience is the productive key.

While still making sure you enjoy the weekend.

Note: the changes in Tomorrowland do require immediacy. If they didn't, it would be a rather odd mass produced science-fiction film.

Social democracy's a tough sell.

The Grey

A plane crashes in the sub-arctic Alaskan wilderness and its survivors find themselves hunted by a pack of blood thirsty wolves. Who knows why this particular pack decides to suddenly start attacking Liam Neeson (Ottway) and his co-workers (Neeson theorizes that they have crashed too close to their den) but they uncharacteristically do and Joe Carnahan's The Grey unreels in their pursuit.

Thinking they'll be safer in the woods and that a rescue team will never find them, this group of rugged drifters and loners leaves the crash sight and struggles to make their way across a barren stretch of frozen ground amidst brutal winds and freezing temperatures, one of them devoured en route.

After the rest of them make it, the wolves continue to circle and prey and in between confrontations we learn more about their troubled lives. They continue to move forward with the pack at their backs, arguing and conversing along the way.

In the end only one remains, having shockingly persevered longer than his fallen brethren.

Ready to battle the alpha.

Ignoring the logistics of everything that actually takes place in The Grey and focusing on how it recklessly pits a wild and brazen group of freewheeling hard-living workers up against their grizzled natural counterparts in a ludicrous unforgiving clash of human versus animal kind, may make the film more digestible.

In terms of the absurd.

Figuring that Neeson would be given the majority of the lines, I was interested in seeing whether or not his dramatic flexibility was still capable of motivating an entire film, from beginning to end. But my calculations were incorrect and the supporting cast is given plenty of room to manoeuvre, giving Neeson time to sit back and carefully structure his lines with shrewd deliberate nuances whose intermittent interjections and patient intonations carefully unify the supporting cast's dynamics in a thoughtful cohesive heterogeneity.

While the wolves constantly disrupt their unity.

Some of the lines seem like they came straight from an oil rig as well which gives them an endearing authentic quality.

In terms of what to do should your plane crash in a remote location, The Grey offers little practical advice.

Unless wolves begin to insatiably stalk you.

But as far as films celebrating derelict itinerant dispositions go, The Grey's not that bad, and perhaps by making its subject matter foolish, Carnahan tries to lure us into the narrative unconsciously, by harnessing the helpless qualities of our disbelief, thereby making us feel more like the characters in his film.

Mèche Blanche, les aventures du petit castor (White Tuft, The Little Beaver)

After a furious current deposits him far away from the safety of his mother's lodge, Mèche Blanche, the little beaver, must find his way home. Lost in the wild with little knowledge of the necessary survival skills, Mèche Blanche scavenges and scurries his way through the forest, agilely avoiding a hungry pack of wolves, until he finds refuge with a grumpy old beaver. Meanwhile, back at the dam, Mèche Blanche's mother and sister hold down the fort while conducting a search and outwitting a scurrilous otter. Bears, lynx, raccoons, owls, porcupines, skunks, snakes, frogs and squirrels round out the cast as these beavers go about their business of beavering. Some may find it odd that Mèche Blanche couldn't fight harder against the current which deposits him so far away, or that a bear would cross a narrow beaver dam when it could simply swim past, but it's best not to question the designs of this legend for they bravely define a young hero's strength building quest, as he struggles against the odds and contends with adversity. Friendships are made, tests are passed, hardships endured, and mischievousness managed, as the courageous Mèche Blanche learns what it means to beaver.
