I'm going to pick up a few seconds before the last description in pt.1, because I missed this first dialogue.
-
00:14:30 - Eddie is all over Angela, kissing her telling her she's going to be a "star". Rock says "If you would've put this kind of energy into getting me a title fight, maybe I would've been on my way to Vegas (angels) right now." It's interesting because Rock seems to imply that if Eddie were all over HIM kissing him and such, well... You get the point.
00:14:56 - Inside the "futuristic" neon dance-club 7th Heaven where Laura Charles is hosting her show, there is a checkerboard grid (with no black squares) on the main floor and Neon Blue (Aquarius) wavy lines in the form of steps to a higher plateau. Laura herself is wearing a Blue and Silver dress-thing, and her earrings are two Pyramids. She speaks from atop a high-up pedestal Kontrol Center.
00:15:16 - my words can't do justice to how funny this scene is, but it is a Music Video in the middle of the movie sung by an extremely androgynous looking man with what appears to be a Jheri Curl Mullet singing in a woman's voice.
The video makes a few quick cuts showing various imagery we have been focusing on in the Sync Sphere, including a Clown Face, Lightning bolt, and a man putting on a Masonic White Glove.
There is a quick scene showing two car headlights which look like a Binary Star System but I'm having a hard time getting a screenshot. "Feel the beat of the rhythm of the night, dance until the morning light, forget about the worries on your mind, you can leave it all behind". Dance = ritual.
00:16:15 - Eddie claims to be the Video Game King (He owns an arcade) while talking with Rock, and the monster fish jumps at him, scaring him. This is foreshadowing, as we shall see. There is a huge Rising Sun symbol in Eddie's office but we will get to that later.
00:17:24 - William H. Macy (playing JJ, her assistant or something) comes out of nowhere wearing a garish windbreaker, talking with Laura Charles about having dinner with Eddie Arkadian but she is refusing, saying her show is booked solid for the next 4 weeks.
JJ says Eddie Arkadian will "slit his throat" if Laura doesn't play Angela's videos, saying "Laura, this guy plays rough." No kidding. She still refuses, a "light"bulb syncing wih her crown.
00:18:30 - 3 ascending concentric rings of stage lights appear, forming an All-Seeing-Eye and possibly symbolizing Atlantis.
They then light up, with colors of Red, Yellow, Blue and Green. Laura Charles is elevated down the center towards the dance floor on a platform. It's another musical scene, and the A in Heaven forms an Eye in a Pyramid syncing with her head.
Here you can see her pyramid earrings while she says "Never say never, at heavens door"
Then everyone dances like crazy, 80's style. She gives a shout-out to "the pacemakers of the NOW generation, the Kloud Krowd!" I have no idea who she is actually referring to in the movie.
00:20:13 - Back in Eddie's office we are given a view of his Lightning Bolt-Rayed Rising Sun, with 2 torch-pillars on the wall next to it.
Eddie is on the phone, being told Laura won't play Angela's videos. "Nobody turns down an Eddie Arkadian invitation. Nobody."
00:20:42 - Laura is telling everyone that she's holding a contest and the winner will take her out on a date. Leroy's brother, played by Leo O'Brien, says "How about a kiss?"
Laura says "Well, you never know. But here's one for NOW." Laura blows a kiss at Leo, who catches it. "Got it", says Leo.
Laura continues her song, ending it with "Oh no, we don't burn angels on the fire." To me, since Water/Angel and Fire/Lion are on the same side of the brain (Right, intuition) she is saying "dissociate".
00:21:46 - Laura ascends a Spiral Staircase to the top of her Pedestal, ending the scene.
00:21:52 - Leroy is shown walking down the street towards 7th heaven. It is revealed that the 7 in 7th heaven is made of 4 sperms crossing 4 lines, or the Labia Minora and Labia Majora.
Laura and Leroy (LL, 77) see eachother, and the floaty music plays as Laura is instantly attracted to the Sun Disk hat wearing Leroy. Laura enters a car, which is actually being driven by one of Eddie's henchmen. The car stops as two men (gemini) attempt to enter it, Laura attempts to get away, and right before she is abducted Leroy comes in and saves the day. "I would not do that if I were you", says Leroy, holding the wrist (gemini) of one of the men. He then proceeds to beat the ever-loving shit out of all 3 of them, yet a 4th is revealed to be holding Laura. Leroy then kicks the piss out of him, forcing all 4 of them to drive off. Why they didn't come back and run Leroy over, I'll never know.
In this shot, three lights emanate from Leroy's scalp.
Of course, Laura finds Leroy's display of aggression a turn-on. Leroy says "It seems that everything is safe now", showing no real attraction towards Laura, and hailing a Checker Cab for her. While Laura is picking up things that fell out of her purse and Leroy is "escaping" (what a wuss), a box with an X inside of it appears.
While she's getting into the cab, she finds Leroy's Golden Sun Disk on the ground and picks it up, right when she does so her Scarf hits the ground, symbolizing her becoming Unveiled.
00:26:22 - Back in Eddie's Office, the trinity is expecting Laura any second now. Here you can see Angela's giant triangle head thingy syncing up with the Dome Lamp and Mike Starr.
Angela is complaining to Eddie and he says "Don't bug me, fix your face!" A "bug" is an unwarranted phone tap and Fix Your Face can become FYF, or Fifth amendment. Dont bug Masons, because of the fifth amendment (right to silence)
00:27:05 - Leroy realizes he has lost his Sun Disk, looking pretty hopeless. Scene cuts back to Eddie's place, where the 4 henchmen enter and claim they were jumped by 20-30 big black guys who had chains and clubs. Eddie calls Rock over saying "I've got a little job for you", to which Rock lights up and says "The tank?" pointing at the big monster fish. "Bring her back in ONE piece, will ya?" says Eddie.
00:28:13 - Leroy is at his dojo teaching a class of young students the Martial Arts. Leroy is shown in a Yellow shirt with the words "Conscience is our guide" exiting his voicebox.
A sign on the wall says "Clarity is Power". One of Leroy's followers, Johnny, is pretending to know how to fight. "You know how you always say to Master the art of fighting without fighting? I've mastered the art of fighting, without knowing how to fight". Johnny is instantly kicked to the ground by another student and Leroy says "To seek safety, one must go into the heart of danger", to which Johnny replies, "Huh?" Huh is the egyptian god of Endlessness. Right after Johnny utters this word, Sho'Nuff (Horus) kicks in the door, accompanied by 6 men and women wearing Big Cat print clothes. In watching this movie, it has come to my attention that the roles of Horus and Set are reversed, as the actions and motives of Leroy would better represent Horus and the actions of Sho'Nuff are more resonating of Set, the movie is written to portray Horus as being the bad guy and Set as the good guy, as we shall learn in the next scene.
00:30:22 - Sho'Nuff tells his "girls" to rough up Leroy, who takes no interest (being the androgynous Set), and then Bows to Sho'Nuff who then tells Leroy to "kiss his converse". (In the original Egyptian story, Set attempts to rape Horus, showing dominance, but in this movie it's like Horus asked Set to rape him.) Johnny attempts to stand up for Leroy, but Sho'Nuff orders one of his men to kill him. The henchman has Johnny in a headlock and says "Bow down, NOW, or I'm gonna snap this CLOWN in two! Yeah, that's right, FOOL" (major arcana card 1). Leroy submits, and Sho'Nuff kicks him right in the face. Ow. Henchman lets Johnny go and then Sho'Nuff and his followers leave. Leroy says "Sometimes it is hard to live the way of the wise" to which Johnny responds, "Huh?"
I will end this part with a shot of Leroy's "altar" with a backdrop of NYC.
