Classroom Pennant Flags in Hard Ball 2001

 

Pennants are seen hanging along the top chalkboard in the movie Hard Ball 2001, that starred Keanu Reeves.  The Pennants looks like they have been designed by the children in the classroom and have various unique designs and colors.  In this film Keanu stars as a baseball little league coach for an inner city hard luck team.  He is drafted into the position, due to his gambling debts. 

Here the teacher at the school is now making by 2020 standards an inappropriate gesture.  In 2001, the OK symbol was a positive and safe.  But things can change with just a few memes and jokes.  Who knows what is next on the chopping block for the newer generations.  Perhaps the peace sign with two fingers will go?  Maybe thumbs up or live long and prosper hand will become sinful and racist icons?  Only time will tell.  And just maybe the OK symbol will go back to just meaning OK?  

 

The flag of Wales from 1807 to 1953

The current flag of Wales is a bicolour with a red dragon.  However the older version of the red dragon on a patch of grass was flew much longer from 1807 until 1953.  The current flag of Wales was adopted in during the MOD era, so it is the Welsh MOD flag.  It will not be until the year 2105 that the MOD flag was finally have surpassed the original grandfather version of the Wales flag.  Also note all six limbs are easily distinguishable in the older version.  In the modern Wales flag it looks like only five limbs are visible. 

Also there was a daddy version from 1953-1959, that gets no love.  The Daddy Welsh flag basically contributed to the background of the modern flag, being a horizontal bicolour element, as found in the modern, Grandson version. 

오징어 게임 - Squid Game Flags 2021

 

The most unique Squid Game 오징어 게임 flag to appear in occurs during the Marble Game.  A dark green flag with a yellow disc with a missing green green triangle is visible.   Note that it is in the scene where first and last (alpha & omega) have switched jackets as 001 is wearing 456's jacket, while 456 is wearing 001's jacket.  It is a Yin and Yang thing, that is an important philosophy and outlook with life.  The South Korean flag has this symbol, but modified such that the counterpoint dots are not visible. 

Flags are essential elements in sports and games.  In South Korea's Squid Game, a victory black and yellow checker flag is waved for the winners as signal that they won and to stop playing. 

Squid Game is sing of the times, that says a lot without getting preachy.  Basically, the view has free reign to project his or her own view as to what the show is about.  In the end it is more than just a game show. Squid Game 2021 is not Double Dare, rather its daring race your life.  In the Tug of War game a pink 'Double Dare' like flag marks the center point.

Unique Flag in Toys - 1992 Film

 

One the movies are good for is putting fashions and feels into a bottle.  In 1992, Robin Williams starred in Toys.  If Gateway Computers mated with a 1990s modern art project, this is the resultant barf.  There is something attractive about the film, and all the actors give their A game.  But it stinks like a glittering turd.  It could have been the 1990s Willy Wonka, but not something bland and square makes this movie poke along.  Although a bad movie, its worth watching once every ten years. 

A unique bumper car swallowtail pennant is visible during the funeral scene.  Another flag can be seen on the castle.  

As general rule of thumb, if a movie has a way too extravagant intro that goes on, and on, in the beginning, chances are its going to be crappy movie. Somehow all the effort and budget goes into the first five minutes and then its crap afterwards.  

The best part of the movie the Bill Nye-Talking Heads video  MTV makes a small cameo, when indeed during the 1990s MTV was music television. 

American Spectrum Flag

 

A pride flag for all Americans to feel the loves.

The New Trans Flag, The Trans-Temporal Flag

Do you ever feel like you were born in the wrong Generation?  Perhaps you were assigned Generation X but you identify as Generation Z.  Maybe you are in to Steampunk?  Perhaps the Renaissance Fair?  Maybe you are born in 2005 and you feel like a Baby Boomer.  Or rather you are a Boomer and feel as though you should be a part of the Generation V, the Greatest Generation that won WWII.  Generation W is the Boomer Gang.  Or maybe you are a millennial, which is really a bi-millennial since the original, true millennials are all dead.  The millennials included Leif Erikson and Æthelred II the Unready.  

This flag represents those persons who refuse to remain in the assigned temporal generation.  It is a Trans flag of sorts, Trans-Temporal to be exact.  

The flag represents a double rainbow as a symbolic portal of crossing through time.  If you have ever seen a Double Rainbow in the wild, then you have been invited to be a part the chosen ones for the mystical Trans-Temporal lifestyle. 

The canton on the side represents all the organic tones of humanity.  Likewise on the white chevron has stars painted in infrared and ultra violet.  Thus one needs special goggles or unique biological modifications to see the thirteen stars.  There are 15 stripes based upon Isaac Newton's dissection of visible light; red, orange, yellow, green, blue (cyan), indigo (what we consider blue), and violet.  

So if you don't fit into your assigned Generation feel free to let these colours fly, time is a human construct after all.

Corto Maltese Flag from Suicide Squad 2021

 

One of the joys or sad things about being a vexillologist is that fictional countries stick out like sore thumbs.  Of course its a comic book movie, which requires a level of disbelief.  However Hollywood can't pull one past us.  Nonetheless in DC's Suicide Squad film from 2021, it takes place on the fictional island nation off the coast of South America - Corto Maltese. 

The flag is a tribar of red, yellow and blue with the national coat of arms in the center.  In the red stripe is a yellow Argentinian-link Sun.  In the blue stripe is a yellow star.  The Coat of Arms have two wildly pointed deer that resembles the HBC with two crossed swords behind the shield.
