This short-story about pedestrian vigilantism as it relates to modern age consumerism cynicism was inspired by the modernism-crusade 'armchair warrior' film The Boondock Saints (a poetic if eccentric allegorical treatise on the everyday Utopianism dormant but eruptive in urban American males today).
It's interesting how modern pro-media 'pedestrian storytelling' stands in contrast to Generation X's focus on the sort of network-suspiciousness perhaps exemplified in the film-turbulence Natural Born Killers copycat crime controversy of the 1990s.
Is this new kind of 'consumer optimism' (e.g., Wal-Mart) remind us of Orwellian omens?
I can't decide if it's suddenly 'alright' to sound boring...that must be a Machine-Age miracle!

Tom Cruise, the world's most popular 'celebrity' and Hollywood (USA) movie star decided to peruse the Internet for posts about vigilante-wannabes after making his conviction-adventure film The Last Samurai. Cruise found the posts of an idealistic Ivy League graduate (Yale University) named Ajay Satan who presented pictures of himself dressed in radical, pro-anarchy costumes/outfits designed to draw attention to pro-populism politics issues such as Belfast IRA, welfare for American immigrants, and the Human Genome Project. Cruise liked Ajay's art and politics-philosophy.
Cruise and Ajay connected online and decided to hype the pedestrian vigilance daydream film The Boondock Saints, which they felt was really a treatise about democracy rebelliousness pent up in the labor-frustrated middle-class post-college graduate age backet in the USA. Cruise and Ajay referred to themselves as The Boston Angels, since they embraced populism rhetorics and pedestrian academics exemplified arguably best in intellectual American cities such as Boston, Massachusetts.
The Boston Angels sent an anonymous screenplay to a Hollywood movie studio about a duo of American citizens, one a movie star and the other an Internet-blogging 'pedestrian philosopher' and wanted it made as a modernized rendition of The Prince and the Pauper. Roman Polanski picked up the script and converted it into a film called Lantern/Arrow (about 'complicated patriotism' exhibited in modern American citizens who resemble comic book cartoon superheroes who exhibit pure idealism), which drew the attention of Donald Trump, Jr. who was secretly planning a pro-populism presidential campaign to follow in his father's footsteps. Trump, Jr. planned to use the Boston Angels' rhetorics-screenplay (and adapted film!) to hype 'anti-Machiavellian populism politics.'
