The SOPA/ Protect IP Act (PIPA, S

Klepto capitalism appears to have prevailed with the nation’s political “representatives” openly shilling for giant corporations or industry trade groups. This wholesale corruption violates a hidden feeling in many of us that is still capable of discerning between right and wrong. Congress unopposed. The SOPA/ Protect IP Act (PIPA http://ronpajaklcsw.com/?p=2587, S. 968), deal was all set to glide right through greased by the millions of dollars in lobbying money by giant media conglomerates, yet people power (with a heroic effort by the tech sector thank you Google and Wikipedia!) slowed it down. The same is true with TransCanada’s XL pipeline; it too was all set to glide through the Congress until people came out in massive protest. With hope, the Occupy Wall Street movement will reemerge even bigger going into the 2012 elections and people power might begin to finally move the federal machinery away from its servitude to the top 1 percent and give the victims of the big banks a way forward to seek some modicum of justice. But don’t expect corporate media personalities to recognize these efforts for what they are if they can’t challenge Newt Gingrich or even comprehend the antics of Stephen Colbert don’t expect them to be guiding lights in the life and death struggles that lie ahead.

Love Makes You Evil: Never mind that he was evil to begin with (as far as we know), but the realization that he will never have someone like Lisa in his life, and that his plans are deteriorating because of her, does send Rippner over the edge. Male Gaze: Rippner has one in the lavatory scene, but he’s not checking Lisa out. He’s looking at her scar. Meaningful Background Event: Rippner is introduced this way, standing quietly in line behind Lisa for a good amount of time before he reveals himself. Meaningful Name: Jackson Rippner. Red Eye is the name of the night flight in the film. It is called a “red eye flight” because of its tendency to make passengers’ eyes red. Mile High Club: Didn’t really happen, but it sure looked like it to everyone else on the plane. Mood Whiplash: Lisa and Rippner start off light and flirty until Rippner reveals his not so friendly profession. See Never Trust a Trailer. Morality Pet: Averted. In spite of Lisa’s attempts to dissuade Rippner from his assassination plot and his inner conflict with Lisa and the whole ordeal, Rippner continues with his job, showing little (if any) remorse. Mysterious Past: Rippner’s past is the latter, as Lisa learns little about him, although he hints at being a Self Made Orphan. Never Trust a Trailer: Invoked, where the first half of the ad makes it look like a romantic comedy, complete with touching ballad. Of course that same ad also plays it straight by randomly having Rippner’s eyes actually turn red maliciously, it gave an implication that it would be a supernatural horror flick. In fact, the movie really plays up the blueness of his eyes. No Name Given: According to Wes Craven in an interview, “Jackson Rippner” is not even Rippner’s real name and is a pseudonym. Not Now, Kiddo: Rebecca, the little girl flying alone, actually overhears Rippner threatening Lisa in the lavatory.
