Well, myspace is surely going to delete their blogs soon so I thought I'd save them before that happens. Myspace used to be a personal blogging site but not they're getting taken over by social media and all of my friends/readers have left.
In tribute of mother day that happened a few days ago I made
a top 13 list of most nurturing mothers.With this list I will have their children.
13.Lil’ Mama – One of the many “Lils” I like.She doesn’t actually have any children since
she is only 20 but that doesn’t stop others.The reason she is on this list is because of her nurturing message she
always finds a way to put in lyrics.This music video below is about the way women should be wary of getting
pregnant and what it takes to be a real mother.
12.Mrs. Brisby – From the film Secret of NMH comes a courageous yet shy figure, who would do
anything for her children. The whole
feature shares a story of a mother who has been sheltered until an impossible
task calls her to go beyond her brick home to challenging the fiends as the
owls, cats, and evil rats.Mrs. Brisby
is a great example of the facts a good mom will do anything to save her
children.
.. ..
Brisby’s Children: Teresa Brisby, Cynthia
Brisby (Baby girl), Martin Brisby (Chubby tough kid), Timothy "Timmy"
Brisby (Sick one Mrs. Brisby had to fight for)
11.Mother Goose – Everyone has read her nursery
rhymes and they have all nurtured us to sleep.She doesn’t actually have any real children so that’s why she got stuck
at 11 but I’ll count her stories as her babies.The cool thing is I even had the opportunity to direct Mother Goose when
I directed the trial of Jack v. Jill.Thanks Anastasia .If you want to
listen to a guy read them in a straw hat watch the video below.
10.Clair Huxtable – The powerful mother figure in
the Bill Cosby show.The reason she beats out other mothers is
because she showed a more realistic attitude while avoiding cowering down to
the house wife position.Clair was a
lawyer but she also ran the house while avoiding being a bugar to her husband.The character’s relationship of Clair and
Bill were similar to others where Bill played the dumb guy but they had more
cooperation in running the family than any other sitcom couple.....
Clair’s Children: Sondra Tibideaux (Princeton graduate), Denise
Kendall (Traveled to Africa), Theo Huxtable(Teacher w/ emphasis on dyslexia), Vanessa
Huxtable(attended Lincoln University), and Rudy Huxtable (nominated for an
emmy)
.. ..
9.Virgin Mary – I mean HELLO!She gave birth to Jesus the leader of one of
the largest religions in the world and she isn’t afraid of snakes either as you
can see below.I feel cold for putting
her so low on the list but the not a lot of evidence is shown of her nurturing
efforts.I mean she didn’t even try to conceive
Jesus, it just happened.
.. ..
8.Marge Simpson – Marge is as classy as a lady you
can get.No matter what she would never
let Maggie out of her sight, Bart unfed or Lisa out of books.Even though she is a house wife she is still
a sturdy figure that will not be taken advantage of.Homer is a horrible father while Marge is
always instructing him in how to be a true father.How can one not stand staring away with the
way Marge’s gorgeous blue hair stands?
.. ..
Marge’s children – Bartholomew (Skateboarder),
Lisa (Straight A student) and Maggie (Super sucker)
7.Barbara Bush – With her push to rise the
literacy rate universally and giving birth to two of the country’s most prominent
men in the country the ex-1st lady has placed herself as #7 on the
list. Also, how can you not want to meet a lady whose hair fits her last name?
Barbara’s Children – George W. Bush (43rd president
of the US), Robin Bush (Died at 3 years from Luekemia), Jeb Bush (Florida’s 43rd
Governor), Neil Bush (anti-Ritalin campaign), Marvin Bush(Director of an
insurance company), Dorothy Koch (1st known baptized person in
China)
6.George Lopez’s mom, Benny, and his wife Angie–
Anytime one thinks of George Lopez there are two things that should come to
mind. 1. He’s got a big head and 2. How funny is his mom?In George’s Standup he has an infamous line
that his mom would always say.“Why you
crying?” as she would smack George.Then
there is Benny who is a horrible mom but doesn’t look bad at all because she
makes George look like a grown cry baby with her punch lines.Angie is just too hot to be a mom but she
still finds a way to keep her bum for kids in line.
5.Amanda’s mom – A gorgeous lady who has similar
interest.We enjoy eating foreign food
together and have many talks of how we can better her school skipping daughter
Amanda.Can’t wait for her to come over
again so we stair flawlessly at precious Gouramis and friends. Below is a
picture of her waiting for me!Tehe…
.. ..
4.Pamela Sue Vorhees – Another example of a mother
who would do anything for her child.The
difference between her and Mrs. Brisby is that her child is dead and she is not
taking any prisoners.The sad thing is
Jason Vorhees mom could be mistaken for my grandma Brown by appearance.The dear lady.
.. ..
3.Vickie Guerrero – To me she is the Mother of
Smackdown wrestling brand.Many people
don’t like her but it’s because she is a strict mother which this world is
lacking.If fans had it their way they
would be spoiled like most kids today who need a paddling so bad.Her famous “Excuse me” is a technique all
mother can learn from and Vickie shows it to when she is either the consultant
or General Manager of Smackdown.
.. ..
Vickie’s Children – Saul Marie (20 years old)
and Sherylin Amber (15 years old)
2.Tara’s Mom – Such a nifty lady if you know what
I mean.She makes such good chili and
has me over many a times.She enjoys
sports which is a tough thing to find in a lady but it’s a good thing her
daughter has learned this from her.It’s
too bad this same daughter has a vendetta against our relationship we will defy
this come hell or high waters.
1.My mom – Is this a surprise?I guess I am a little bias.She has done everything from driven Tyrone
and I all to Rochester for a Raw show to making me and my brothers extravagant costumes
for Halloween including a outfit of the aliens fromID4.Thanks mom for
everything!!!
Thank
you for reading. I put a lot of time into this so I hope it was
enjoyable. Let me know who your favorite mother figure. Also, I don't
know what to make my blog background I am pretty sure any ideas you
offer I will immediately listen to.
Also if you are fans of wrestling here is my blog for that -
Last note on sport. For the Stanley cup I see the Sharks v. Penguins in 6 games. Go Sharks! 07:48 PM
I do not have any time to write this but I wanted to not
stop writing monthly blogs. I will try to keep this simple and just
write a review of Subw@ys new breakfast item.
Yesterday,
I was typing in my room a massive research paper of the importance of
sports and competition in Japan compared to here and was jaming out to
my jams. Somehow the media player got stuck playing a repeat of the
same eight songs. To avoid causing a long distraction from my paper and
hearing the KQRS interview of Bobcat Goldthwait, he voiced Mr. Floppy
of Unhappily Ever After, I was inspired to listen to the day's morning podcast of Tom Brainard's morning show.
It
was a very amusing show as always but a big random surprise came from a
not so big star. Jared the Subway guy was on the show promoting
something awesome. Just to let you know I hold Jared in high opinion
because he likes coming to the WWE shows and not just to promote
Subway. I remember once CM Punk sent his straight Edge brigade to get
Jared before DX ruined it. Also, on the morning show he presented himself as being more than a tool.
The
guy had no problem sharing stories about him and friends. What Jared's
big promotion that he had to share was a free egg english muffin
sandwich this morning from 7-11am, the only time I am guessing they
offer it even when it was not free. Thursday night I had to make sure I
wasn't hearing things and spoke to the Subw@y in Atwood, SCSU's media
center, and they explained it will only be an hour since they opened at
10am. To me, all it meant was coming early if I didn't want to be late
to my 10 am class until I got ridiculous at Earnest's party and beyond.
From the night I was burning and hungry and was willing to be a few
minutes to take away some of them bad feelings.
Here
is the review of the sandwhich. Comparing it to McDonald's breakfast
items they are awesome and better because of the Sub Sandwich
ingredients you will never get in McDonalds. What I got was a steak and
egg english muffin with tomato, shredded lettuce, green pepper,
cucumbers with colby jack cheese. To think the pathetic king claims to
say he "gives it to us our way" more like we have to give it to him.
POO! The sandwich doesn't fill one up but I can't even be filled by the
foot longs. I guess for a grade these new items will get B+.
I know I am not a food critic but I needed something fresh to jump on.
Avatar
was not a movie I expected to see since I was looking forward to seeing the
Chipmunks movie if any during December.A majority of the time I am correct when I don’t look forward to seeing
a movie because the trailers show signs of disappointment.I’ll give a quick list of few signs from that
one should watch for when watching trailers:
1. The trailer somehow finds a way not to explain the
storyline.
2. When the animated figures are never in the screenshot
with the actual actors of the film.
-In the When the Earth Stood Still the commercial kept on yelling at that
stupid giant to freeze but for some reason they were never in the same
shot.That’s because the stupid giant Cyclops
thingy was too smooth and shiny to ever look it belonged with everyone else in
that craptacular film.
3.It’s a children
movie with too many innuendos.
-Cat in the Hat; geez.I didn’t think you could ever destroy a
childhood gem like Cat in the Hat but Austin Powers found a way when during the
commercial he smacked a garden ho and called it a “dirty ho”.This is not something you want when your goal
for going to the movies is avoid the repetitive nature and easy sexy jokes
4. When the sequel trailer has no one in it from the first
movie.
-George
of the Jungle wasn’t that great of a movie but it was entertaining and
Brendan Frasier himself was genuinely funny guy.Than when George
of the Jungle 2 commercial started appearing audience had to be taken back
when guy who was repeated referred as George looked nothing like Frasier.This almost could’ve been tricky enough to
make some think it’s a plot of a George copy-cat but not really.
Avatar
definitely had the second one and small bits it would should something that
needs to be done via computer with a real actor the people look like they are
from Starcraft or something.The thing
about Avatar is I couldn’t tell if it was because I was watching the film in 3-D
or the graphics aligned with what was actually filmed.It’s an important factor for me since I’d
always much rather film a kick apple robot.I will admit Avatar had too many villagers in the script to do such a thing
but doesn’t mean I should give them slack for their animation.If one doesn’t have the technology to do it
than don’t do it I exclaim especially since the 3-D glasses now cost an extra
$3 extra to watch it. To finish off this spiel, Avatar’s graphics were smooth
except for the giant robots where the people controlled them by sitting
inside.That was surprising for James
Cameron to make look goofy since his Aliens 2 hand the same thing when
Sigourney Weaver went one on one with the mother Alien.
In this
review there will be a lot of nit-picking at this movie but be sure to look at
the rating at the end because it is still unquestionably worth seeing before
DVD.These new 3-D effects were cool and
not the hoky ones that would be used in 80s movies, where something had to be
thrown at the audience for them to notice what they are watching in 3-D.It was simple but noticeable.A few times during the film I took the
glasses off to see the difference and everything looked fine if it was in front
but if an object was in the distance it would be a little blurry.
The
acting was very good with Sam Worthington leading the way with Sigourney Weaver
taking the assist.Sam Worthington had
to portray of an injured veteran on a journey back to revival from leg
paralysis.Hmm.The guy is a very good knuckle head which the
audience wants gain happiness no matter how many people tell him he’s screwed
up.Sigourney is a translator of sorts,
who is passionate of what she fights for though every time she tries convincing
anybody anything she’s always portrayed by others as the crazy tree hugger.Sounds a little like her Aliens role.The third top
actor is the one you see in the trailers shooting and yelling to destroy
everything kind of giving away how well the diplomatic solution went.This is a very black and white character but
he’s not all wrong.General Nutso is
shown as the bad guy because he wants to use the army to invade the Smurfs
(blue people).Well, hello he is a
general what else can he really suggest?Team diplomat was more worried about their journey than their actual goal.General Nutso may have laid created the same
results no matter what but it doesn’t less procrastination would’ve helped save
some lives.
Who can
blame Team Diplomat for wanting to spend their time just observing the
awesomeness and fantasy of the Smurf world?Majority of Avatar aimed at becoming an official warrior in the Smurf
tribe.Cameron created a world one could
easily fall for in those nerdy Warcraft video games from the animals the Smurf
get to ride to the being 10 feet tall and having a tail.Really, who doesn’t want a freaking tail and
be blue?Well, not Smurf blue but more
Nightcrawler blue.
The
feature is a little less than 3 hours and you feel it.The best way to measure this is if you stop
and check you cell phone during the phone.I did and I could imagine that is the point of the movie Tara began her
nap!Since a lot of the movie spent time
on Sam Worthington’s character observing the Smurf’s culture and not trying to
complete anything that made a difference to the humans it wasn’t really plot
driven.
Another quick thing to pick at that
I thought was awkward and didn’t make a darn thing of difference was the black
doctor until the very end.The reason he
bugged me was the fact he walked in on Worthington’s character, Jake, telling
General Nutso and friends how to invade the Smurfs to where he gave a shocked
face of disappointment.That facial
expression gave the impression that there will actually be something
interesting to happen in the human side of the movie like a confrontation.No, not really and it could’ve balance out
the awkwardness at the end of the movie when Team Diplomat and Team Kick-apples
had about three verbal arguments that went nowhere.
Smurfs had an appearance I swear
had to make 3/4 of the audience jealous besides the weird tentacles in their
hair but even I wouldn’t let that ruin being 10 feet tall and blue.Color and height is not the only thing a
majority of American audience will be jealous.The shape every single Smurf was in was just silly how each and every
one of them didn’t have an ounce of fat.It reminded me of pro wrestlers in video games and on action figures of
how they are always given six packs no matter their abdomens look in real life.Giving even a few elders a more realistic
appearance compared to us would make people walk out of the theater going,
“What a disgusting figure those aliens had!”
If I was Cameron though, I would
probably make the decision of all pretty rather than all ugly.
The story won’t drive you into
watching but everything else will.My
friend Lucas pointed out that the storyline of people with technology attacking
“savages” is actually derived from Dances
of the Wolves.His comparison
reminded me of several of paranoid goals I thought this movie since seeing the
trailers. Hollywood is so hippy that I
couldn’t figure what message it was trying to send to audience.Was Avatar trying to say shame on America for
taking the Native Americans home or did it have an anti-corporation or general
anti-Army?It could’ve just been a good
storyline in general but you have to watch out for those shifty eyed
celebrities.
In conclusion this movie receives 4
& a quarter out 5 stars.Even though
it may have been very long it fit because of the epicness of the world that had
to be introduced to the audience.There
are many things for audience to find to enjoy in this film from cool battle to
new creatures of beyond to technology to Michele Rodrigez, everyone’s favorite
spunky latina.
PS for Avatar I heard a pretty
funny spoof advertisement for Avatar on the radio when I was in Cold Sprink for
Jake’s Hockey tournament, where they got 3rdGo Johnson!Well, in the advertisement the soldier on planet Smurf were getting a
warning from their captain about a Smurf spy within their forces.When the soldiers hear of this infiltration,
the soldiers try to figure what kind of disguises the Smurfs would use and
suggestions came as using a funny hat, handle bar mustaches or sunglasses.Dumbfounded the general goes, “I suppose but
they are 10 feet tall, blue and they have tails.It should be pretty obvious” place.
Then a soldier double checks, “but
they still can be wearing some sort of disguise”
“Well sure they can but it would be
quite obvious”, argued the General.
The soldier finished the
conversation with saying, “Good, everyone look for some fake mustaches.” I
thought it was funny advertisement to recite.
Angels
and Demons review
One warning, I should give about
any book that turns into a movie is 99% of the time readers say the story is
always better on paper than on the big screen.Usually the best order to go is watch the movie than read the book.The only problem with this is order is there
are fewer complaints but when reading the book you lose your creativity of
imagining what characters look like in the book.
Angels and Demons was mystery
thriller that made sure there was no way audience can piece together the pieces
to the large mystery.It was kind of an
interesting ride if you are a tourist expert.Many of the parts of the puzzle that Tom Hanks character was trying to
figure out is gibberish to the audience.The characters sound brilliantly smart when they are discussing how to
stop the terrorist attack but who cares if the audience can’t follow what they
are talking about.These smart discussions
made audience blank out for a good quarter of the movie.If script writers were going to change the
story from the book they could’ve at least slow down the characters so they
give the audience some trivia to walk away with about the Catholic religion or
Rome.
There is one thing this movie made
sure force audience to walk away with is that the Catholic religion as an
organization tortured people something hundreds year ago for not believing in
the same religion.People who are big Angels and Demon fans exclaim how people
can be mad about what movie claims about Catholics, if it’s a fiction.If I wrote a fictional book where, Obama is
terrorist I would receive so much gruff for the portrayal of Obama even though
my book would be fake.Don’t act so
uppity if you can’t take it both ways.
Angels
and Demons made it likely for audience to figure out who the real bad guy
is when Ewan McGregor’s priest character several time bragged about how ashamed
Catholics should be for being torturers.Why no matter how much proof that the church has done these torturing
would a priest who has the power of the pope almost brag about how bad your own
religion is?Ewan McGregor did a good
job playing the proud priest throughout all the troubles they were going
through.
The cuts that did in fact bother me
were to the character of Vittoria.Was
she only in this movie to look pretty?She was completely pointless in this movie
while Tom Hanks walked around talking smart but the book gave her a character
with more content.The not telling her
background story saved about 200 pages from the movie and film.One thing director Ron Howard did do correct
with this film from the book is the way Vittoria and Langdon just didn’t take a
break from the rush of the situation to have a philosophical conversation for a
freaking lifetime.As interesting those
conversation can be in the back of one’s mind when reading these intriguing
conversation they are freaking out the bomb that explode any time.Hmm, a bomb is going to explode so let’s have
some tea and discussion in the meantime.Ron Howard took a quicker approach to these stimulating conversations by
making the characters have them while in motion.
I give this half year old movie two
star out of five for dropping the Vittoria character and being outright smug.
Movie
Reference: Collateral
Just thought I’d refer a Michael
Mann movie I’ve gotten into every time I watch it.Michael Mann is a simple director, that straight-out
tells the audience what he wants to tell them instead of giving them abstract
BS.The scenery in LA seems so cool
through the eyes of Collateral. Tom
Cruise does an amazing bad guy that you still can’t dislike.Giving him grey doesn’t make him look older
but more distant.His work with Jamie
Fox seemed to work well with each other.My favorite line in this movie is when Jamie Fox finds out the Tom
Cruise is an assassin and he goes, “I’ll just leave and you can take the car.”
Where Tom Cruise responds with, “Promise
you won’t tell?”Hilarious!I don’t see what’s everyone’s problem with
Tom Cruise is.It’s his wife Katie
Holmes that needs to fall off a cliff.Actually,
Cruises next movie seems pretty funny.Here’s an example:
Tom Cruise takes Cameron Diaz
hostage and exclaims, “Anyone try to stop me, I’ll kill myself and then shoot
her!” Well, here watch it!
Thanks
for reading this.If you want to help me
out answer one of these questions. What
do you think about blue people?Is even
fake blasphemy okay?Would you be will
to push Katie Holmes? What do you watch for in trailers for signs of a crappy movie?
Oh, quick tidbit for when you’re
thirsty, drink a cup of water first so you when get to the pop or fancy drink’s
taste goes to waste.

[views 76] ~Comments~ Silver Angel(Anthony) "this
review would've been a lot better without the over excessive steroid
filled wrestler with a hand handgun on his shirt......also i feel smurf
killing for their smurf berries is morally wrong :P"
1. 1. Inglorious Basterds(August) – This movie
definitely gave my friends and me the feeling that it was epic. Tarantino knows
how to add the essence of drama to his movies.When people watch movies there’s a certain finish they are looking that’s
super climatic and that’s what he does everytime.This movie gave me no complaints what so ever
and is making me wait however long I need to for his next larger-than-life
motion picture.
a.Runner-up
i.Halloween
II
ii.District 9
22.Avatar(December) – To think this would
be my number 2 before I seen it would not be believable by.This is the first non-animated movie I’ve
seen in the new 3-d technology and it doesn’t change the story, characters or
appearance but it’s the next advancement that with 5 years a majority of movies
will have.James Cameron tried his best
to fit every genre in hear and with the help of Worthington’s acting and the
creative design to make this new planet he has a classic on his hand. (Review
will come later)
a.Runner-up:
The Princess and the Frog
3
33.T-4/Terminator Salvation(May) - After
20 years of this movie being referenced too it finally comes out.Even though Christian Bale had his Batman
voice throughout the whole thing.The
war building is cool and I hope in the future they work just as hard on an epic
battle as they did laying out finally the post apocalyptic scenario.
44.Hangover(June) – This comedic gem kept
my friends and I laughing throughout the whole movie and I can’t think of
another comedy that has done this.Star
Trek was good but this feature had to start from scratch with not so popular
actors.
a.Runner-up:
Ice Age III
55.Star Trek(May) –This is the last movie
on this list that I would exclaim that you must see in the theaters this year.I grew up being a Trekkie and this is the
second movie with Spock I’ve seen there.JJ Abram knows how to bring the effect and there’s no way you can get
the same intensity at home.
66.Pink Panther 2 (February) – This might
be an odd movie at #6 but this is only one of two movies that Steve Martin did
and there’s no way in hell I’m going to watch a chick flick without force.
a.Runner-up:
Push
77.Zombieland(October) – This movie
reached this point because of the creative way it made a zombie movie into a
comedy and though Shaun of the Dead is
a comedy it ends up having a more realistic storyline that follows other
storylines as this found another unique angle to watch the apocalyptic journey
at.
a.Runner-up:
This is it
88.Obsessed(April) – A very overlooked
that made me very surprised when watching.Some points of it seem repetitive but what I look for when I sit down to
watch a movie is something active and different and this one draws it name out
and doesn’t keep me waiting through long and self absorbed dialogue, Watchmen!
99.Watchmen(March) – A story that has also
waited decades for it to created into visual motion.This movie fulfilled its goal of laying the
comic book into film.This movie was
long but it got lost in its own dialogue a lot which made viewers want to yell
fight already.I understand it is suppose
to be a philosophical/politically motivated movie but that doesn’t mean I have
to like it more than the others on this list because of that.
a.Runner-up: I
love you, Man
110.Public Enemies(July) – An overrated
movie that everyone loved just because Johnny Depp was in it.Don’t mark it though because of that little
exclamation this was still a good film.The biggest reason why it is lower on the list is because it takes too much
of a grayscale on if bank robberies and murder are righteous.Also, this movie drags with its dialogue.
a.Runner-up: Transformers
II
1 11.Paranormal Activity (September) –A distinctive
feature that copycatted Blair Witch.One could practically call this the home
version of that.Being a decade later it
took the reign by the horns and still scaring folks unlike any other current
horror in this time of skeptics.
1 12. Precious (November) - Seeing Mo’nique
who I very much enjoy watching as much as her characters as always
similar.Precious is another teen movie
but towards a very dark dimension.It’s
a corny storyline about having dreams but do not worry Disney will not being
buying the rights to this rugged must see.
a.Runner-up: Ninja
Assassin
1 13. Taken (January) – A revenge that take
all the length it needs to bring in the audience.It reminded much of Man on Fire except on an international scale.Liam Neeson does a great job but it ended
taking last for this year’s top film because the genre is too common but at
least it made it to the top 13.
a.Runner-up: Notorious
Let me know how
accurate you thought I was. The movie in those runner-ups are the
second choice I have for that month. How about choosing the movie from
each month? Does it make the selection more even than usual. It seems
though that the summer movies ruled the selection naturally. Pretty
interesting but it makes sense since that is time most are free so that
would be the best opportunity to let out the big guns.
Hopeful upcoming blogs: -My ballot for Golden Globes -Movie review of Avatar and Angels & Demons -Dreamy records.
As most of the people I talk to
know after a long search I finally got a job.It isn’t the most prestigious position to hold but it gets me enough
money to where I am not complaining at the moment.With minimal wage rising as fast and crazy as
it is maybe the restaurant just wanted to beat it so I wouldn’t complain next
year.It’s a graveyard shift where I
work 5 hours a night cleaning everything up.Being hired around June 12th was kind of perfect timing
because I just earned enough by July to payoff that month’s rent.It’s going to take a few paychecks until I am
able to break even and I can’t wait until that happens.It’s disappointing how I did though in my job
hunt and it’s not because of the job I landed but how long it took me to get
that job.There must have been 30 jobs I
applied spending almost 4-6 hours traveling around St. Cloud.Out of all those I only got called back for a
total two interviews.There were a few
on the spots interviews but that seems to be what the company automatically
does and wasn’t holding much potential for anything else.Just because I ended up with a job that will
have me just merely passing does not mean I am done looking.I would like to imagine I can put myself to
auction until I have the most amazing job.Networking is usually how I got my jobs before last summer.Last summer I was amazingly lucky to get the
two easy jobs that I did and sometime I’d like to get those back.Currently my biggest concern is how this job
will fare with school but at the moment I don’t have much of a choice with how
I don’t think I can find a job with better pay.
Noooohooo....
Here I can show you in a video of
how I feel about this but I quickly want to go over how I found about this
catastrophe.It started as one of my
more enjoyable days of the summer.I
woke up in the afternoon by a phone call to be invited to toss water balloons
with Tara, Amanda and her boyfriend.The
actual fight was kind of awkward because those darn balloons were tougher than
I remember them being.Attempting to
make it the balloons explode on impact I threw them as fast as possible at Tara
or Amanda and because of the strength of these balloons they bruised the poor
girls.It was okay they are some of the
toughest gals I know. While Tara was showering for me :P, I find out Amanda and
I both like this cartoon reality show called Total Drama (whatever series it
is).Check it out on Cartoon Network
sometime.The show is meant for kids but
holds adult humor in it too that I enjoy immensely.We headed off to the crossroads mall where I
begin feeling like my world was dying and it all started in Scheels where we
were receiving our tasty fudge samples.We gather in the foosball jersey section and this reminds Tara of how
she “read” an article about the horrible rumors of Favre becoming a Viking is
official; don’t worry there is no such article.This is sign #1 of apocalypse.As
we barely get further down the hallway and barely minutes after the Viking horror.Tara and Amanda are using their text machines
to gather news that I could only believe at first was a joke.Michael Jackson is dead!I believe this was a spam text that people
like sending around.If you hit the
person you are sending these messages with enough legitimacy and shock they
could believe it.The problem was there
weren’t just one message saying there were many and a friend; Chelsea that
works at Hot Topic confirmed this.What
a shock!This man who is reason for my
cartoons being interrupted for this guy’s trial, creating his own hype of being
a dance legend and THRILLER is just gone.This was unbelievable because of the status this man had created for
himself.At the same time, it won’t make
much of a difference because it seemed nothing new was going to be produced
from him.I remember him doing “Rock my
World” in 2001 around my High School years but that’s really it except his hit
trials.
Here is my tribute I did for him…
The
Feeding Urge....
It’s a good thing I’m going into
psychology and have been learning about how the anatomy and brain work
together.At beginning of these classes
in college I hated because I wanted to go straight to learning about therapy
and what processes are safest to go through for different mental
illnesses.Currently, I have not applied
this to my current problem.It’s a weird
problem and one that is only researched in the case of obesity and I wouldn’t
consider myself obese but I could definitely be in better shape.Not being the richest person, I don’t have
the greatest amount of food.At the same
time, I am not starving.There is always
food in my cabinet and freezer but I am unsure when to eat them and save things
for ‘special occasions’.I think this
may add to my frenzies of when I have a chance to eat more than usual.It’s like I only eat to fill up so I won’t
starve later.It comes to the point
where I don’t know when to stop.There
should be something there to tell me I’m full or I’ve had enough but
nothing.This could be incredibly
unhealthy for me especially at a point where I will not have the same
metabolism as five years ago.Just to
let you know, this does not apply at buffets when it would help the most giving
me the most “bounce” for my buck.People
annoy me at buffets.Whenever, I go to
buffets with most people not all they want to treat it like a regular meal at
sit down restaurant. Hell no!Why would
one pay $10 and eat a $5 meal; that’s how these buffets make their money.Slow down.One doesn’t have to be constantly eating.After you eat your food just sit and let it
digest so you don’t get sick when you go exercise it off.This is a very interesting area to keep an
eye on because it can go hand to hand with addiction and ones willpower.That’s my biggest problem when it comes to
this is the thought of how my will power could be weakening and when one claims
to be the follower of the Green Lantern, how I can I allow my willpower
fall.It won’t happen.This research could help in a script Amanda
and I are trying to write about cannibal parents who have an urge they cannot
ignore.

Terminator Salvation
Yesterday, T-4 finally came
out. I was too excited. Some of the plugs for this gimmick gave me a
few flinches before coming to see it.
The first sign of possibility weakness was the rating. It’s a thing film productions have been doing
to ‘reach’ a wider audience. The first
three Terminators were rated R but this one was the oh so dreaded PG-13. The same PG-13 that made Alien v. Predator an
action instead of a horror/thriller, the same PG-13 that all these parodies try
to repeat what the Wayans did with Scary movie 1 & 2 but can’t hold up to
the nastiness so they have to use kindergarten potty humor and that same PG-13
that is ruining Sesame Street from the hardcore ultimate bloodbath it use to
be.
The
only actor I knew or really
cared about now was Christian Bale (Batman Begins, American Psycho). A
few days before the movie came out, I started to get to know this
awesome production was also Bryce Dallas something and
Common. As slightly off as the name
Christian is, these other cast names are downright silly. The director’s name is MCG(Mick-Gee), John
Connor wife/girl-friend/baby’s mama/ is named Bryce (like rice but with a B),
and Common(What the fudge?). Watching
the introduction credits I chuckled.
I recognized Bryce’s name from the
M. Night flicks ‘Village’ where she was the blind chick and ‘The lady in the
water’, where she was the lady. Common
did a interview on PBS and is the hip-hoper in the tzune commercial fighting
with the old guy. Paying attention to
the Common interview I heard him say something that I kind of thought was a bit
interesting. Common compared T4’s battle
against the robots with today’s battle against Capitalism. What?
Robots represent free market? You
think they’d represent some sort oppression.
Gyah, I won’t get too into it but sometimes if you actually listen to
people you may hear some disturbing things.
Onto the review. This movie had a challenge and it
exceeded it
The first three
Terminators were in a modern era where the robots were played by actors.
Now,
they can’t just use a street or a bar that’s already there. They have
to create a set themselves without
being lazy and blue screening the background like Wolverine did. This
was accomplished. There were bare parking lots, industrial
robot factory and even a submarine. The
robots were fantastic in not allowing the audience to see any video game
like
features. Showing the war had gone for
awhile the Resistance could easily name the type of machine that was
attacking
them. I actually want to learn these
types so I am prepared when the crisis happens; it’s more realistic than
zombies. The hydrobots were the most attention-grabbing
because of the way they invade the waters and made them more dangerous than if
sharks or piranhas were in them. Transformers
2 had a trailer prior to this and T-4 almost had a giant fireball blasting
robot that is comparable. The background
T-4 created was believable and successful.
The only part I was surprised about was the hierarchy in this post apocalyptic
world and how the UN, kind of, was cruising around in a Submarine. The four nations in charge of everything were
Japan, Russia, America, and some African nation. I guess since it’s been 15 years since the
explosion so if the humans want to create an efficient military system than
they needed organization. without scratch.
The camera use in this film was fun
and made it very rollercoaster like. This
director or DP enjoyed sticking the camera to 1st person
aspects. At the very beginning there was
a helicopter crash and the point of view was in that crashing helicopter. I almost thought that a motion sickness
warning was needed but this wasn’t abused.
It gives one the idea that they are in for a rollercoaster ride.
An
interesting aspect I wanted to
go over about the characters was the comparison of Marcus(the new type
of
robot) and John Connor. John Connor was supposed
to be the one who was going to be everyone’s ‘salvation’ against these
robots
but he seemed to be taking himself too seriously. Growing up, his mom
spoon fed him that nothing
can be done with him in the future. There is no such thing as destiny;
right now, if you take away congress people will easily rise to take
there place. It may be bumpy but it can be done. On a
nightly basis, Connor would sit in this room by himself listening to
this tape
from his mom, who doesn’t have anything useful to say except gibberish. The reason I believe the others follow him is
because he is a General in this hierarchy not because he’ll magically save them
but if feeds into his great idea of himself.
T-4 isn’t only following him though.
His character only had one emotion, which was anger. My favorite line kiddingly, “WHAT ARE YOU?”
to Marcus as their conversation was clearly finished.
There’s Marcus.
The prisoner convict put on death row and signed
his body for god knows what. Sure, a
cancer patient asked for it, but the contract had a robotics company’s
name on
it. He played the loner/warrior in this movie.
He’s not the type of person to hug a tree but if he sees an obstruction
that isn’t right, he’ll stop it. As much
as I would hate becoming a robot’s friend no matter what movie Marcus
makes you
care. My sister had a hard time
understanding the concept that he wasn’t a real person. Marcus is what
will make this movie memorable. An awkward part in the movie was at the
end
when Marcus came ‘home’ he took a break and got new clothes. New
clothes?
You’re in a war, buddy, no time for shopping.
I would recommend everyone go out
of their way to see this if you are a fan of Terminator, action or post apocalyptic
scenarios. The reviews from others are
picky and won’t let Christian Bale go on his excitement and overdramatic
acting. Who cares? Christian Bale does what he needs too and if
he’s not doing it right the director should cut scene but I had no problem with
his acting. He does what’s needed for
the part. Just give anyone who is still
thinking that push they need Arnold is in this. This get’s a A-!
Dance Flick
Now, onto Dance Flunk. It deeply disappointed me.
When the Wayans name was slapped on this
there is some prestige that came to be expected. Don’t Drink Juice,
White Chick, and the first
two Scary Movies were fantastic. How can
one knock a gun battle when Marlon Wayans pulls a freaking USSR nuke
from the
back of his van to scare off the gangsters?
This movies storyline and pops were such a mess that it belongs in the
same category as the last two Scary movie’s and the rest of the
craptacular
parodies that have been coming these last few years. There is no
quality in those films. They shoot them in two weeks and children go
to them because these movies are PG-13 and refer to current movies. I
can’t stand watching these movies because
they even try making fun of characters that are meant to be comedic.
That’s like saying, “ha-ha, Adam Sandler’s
voice sound funny when he sings the Hanukkah song!”.
What I should’ve checked for before
seeing this is the director. Keenan
Ivory Wayans is the brother that directs all of these comedic pleasure. The brother that made a mess of this film was
Damien Wayans. Remember his as the “Crappy
Wayans brother”. I didn’t think there
could be a bad Wayans brother but I found out the hard way. Do not see this! It gets a F!
Star Trek
An unexpected movie I didn’t plan
to see was the new Star Trek. As
everyone jittered about how excited they were for this to come out I tried to
warn them that the reason everyone enjoyed the original Star Trek was not
because the vast technology and effects but because of the zany stories, that
can only be explained by, “Because we are in space, that’s why Furbies are
taking over.” Onion had a video making
fun of my point of which I made. I should’ve
posted it earlier so no one can call me a liar.
This was cool for me to see since I was a Trekie since I was in first
grade but it wasn’t the original I was a fan of. I seen all the Next Generation movies in
theaters and walking into this I got those same feelings back. I remember my whole family wanted to see
Richie Rich and I refused beyond reason; they were forced to go to Star Trek
Generations! I was even Spock as a child
for Halloween. During school I always
trying to do the Vulcan sleeper hold on fellow classmates and could easily do
the “Peace and Prosper” hand signal.
The young and new cast did an
excellent job. I could not think of
anyone that could replace them. Seeing
the commercial the person replacing Sulu was John Cho, Harold in Harold and
Kumar go… It bugged me because he was the biggest name on the cast and I was
nervous he was stuck on there just because he was Asian; he turned out
fine. The movie had quick build-up for
the non-Star Trek fans. This version
gave Spock a girl-friend which made him more human and Kirk had a more rambunctious
attitude. I was very impressed with this
versions Spock because he was non-emotional but others cared for him forcing a human
side. His loyalty towards his mother
when others attacked her for what kind of species she was is great character
build-up; the loyalty trait has constantly been my favorite. Spock was even cooler when he finally used
his grip technique. Pretty much, the
characters were just a tad more extreme version of what they originally
were. There’s nothing bad I can say
about it except it could have been just a long episode of the series but that
also goes with a plus. I hope it does
become a series. There revamped characters
were interesting and I want to get to know them even more. The possibility of there being a Earth to
stop at gives the writing team a better chance of connecting with the
audience. This movie showed me one thing
that I should’ve always knew: that green aliens can be very sexy!
I love William Shatner and it
pisses me off
when people have the audacity to compare the two and dis Shatner
because his Kirk was overdramatic. It
worked and Shatner still has it today as was seen in ‘Boston Legal.’
Everyone did the same thing with Nicholson
and Ledger; both their Jokers were fantastic.
The scope of Leonard Nimoy being allowed on set and not Shatner I
haven’t
grasped but it would have been too corny to have both of them make
cameos. Nimoy probably needed the work anyways. So there it is. JJ
Abrams(Cloverfield) did it again and this
gets B+!
If you are in town watch me ref at
ECHO wrestling in Sartell. I’m really
excited I get to meet some of these top guys, finally. Not sure what my June plans are going to be
but I assure you they will be better than “This
month is a complete blank.” Here are
some things I can talk about in my next blog and still is pushing off.
