WORD OF THE DAY! 3/7/14!




ghosting [gohst-ing]
noun
1. After Earth. The technique created by General Cypher Raige (seriously, with a cheesy sci-fi name like that was this written by a hackneyed version of Hideo Kojima) and adopted by the elite United Ranger Corps, commanded by Raige,  in order to suppress fear. The technique is used by Rangers to become invisible to the dangerous creatures they call the Ursa (seriously, they could look something like bears?) created by aliens (who are absent from the film) in order to hunt down and kill humans by smelling their fear through their pheromones (apparently, these aliens must be related to the aliens from Signs. Oh wait! M. Night Shyamalan directed this too, except it wasn't advertised because his name has become an indicator for trite, dumb, and poorly-produced story-telling).

Answer: That his father is obsessed with making him into an entertainment franchise despite his apparent lack enthusiasm, willingness, or likeability to participate.
