I have a more hands on approach to things. On a completely unrelated topic, has anyone seen Cat~?[DOUBLEPOST=1372121995][/DOUBLEPOST] Like technicalities have stopped me before.
I'm going to perform the Schrodinger's Cat experiment. Anyone have a cat I can borrow?
That puppy is only thinking one thing. "Soon..."
While I was waiting in line, some guy said that Superman was originally written a couple of guys who were Jewish. They created Superman to be a sort of prophesied messiah for the people. Of course, I'm willing to be there's no doubt that someone saw that a while back and took it for Christian imagery instead and worked with that.
From what I've learned in watching movies is never trust the trailers (or Rotten Tomatoes, but that's beside the point). Trailers will always lie to you; they goal of the trailer is to get butts in the seat. The way Hollywood is now, the directors, producers, film creators have no say on what will be put in the trailer. It is done by film executives who just want people to see the film, therefore, a lot of things will be messed with to get people to expect something very different than the final product. I say all that because it's your latter description that was more like the film. He is recruited to go around the world to discover how it all actually started. While there's no real interviewing, there is plenty of investigation. And the reason he's doing it is to make sure that his family is out of harms way (if he didn't cooperate, his family would be kicked off the sub where there is no zombies and be put in a refugee camp on land where there is always a chance of getting infected).
Like I said, I had not read the book, but I do not remember them using such a tactic in the film.
Okay, I'm just going to start with that I had not read the original novel I haven been told by many that it is very enjoyable. I have also been told, ever since the first trailers popped up, that it was going to be nothing like the original novel. Since I didn't read the source material, I had no real attachment. I will say that I was very skeptic of it being any good when I first walked in. Trailer had bad CGI, it was pretty scattered, and the action sequences seemed very typical. I will say that if you want to see a faithful adaption of the book, I've been told this movie is not for you (of course, whenever is there going to be a true faithful adaption of anything). After watching it, I was completely impressed with what they did. Yes, the CGI wasn't the greatest, and the action did nothing too big for me, but that wasn't something that bothered me. It was the story that really drew me in. That short time where Brad Pitt is with his family got me invested both in him and in the family. The movie made sure to make time for me to actually give a damn about the main character, which is something action movies ever do. It was also clever in getting around the whole zombie issue. It wasn't just gun wielding and running. There were actually some places where they used their brains. Also, with it being PG-13, they were really creative in some of the more "gory" parts. I will say that the parts that made me cringe didn't have any zombies in the scenes (although they were pretty creepy at points). Spoiler The entire third act had me really invested. Going through the B wing was the most intense moment of the film for me. And when they said that only a disease could help the humans in camouflaging against the zombies, I pretty much guessed the ending, but it was still amazing to watch. It was really something that I hadn't seen in zombie lore, and I felt that it made sense with what they had established prior.
Les Miserable by Victor Hugo (unabridged) 1463 pages. I really enjoyed it, really. There were some parts that were pretty slow (such as Waterloo) but most of it was really interesting. It had a lot of great story telling, some good characters, and it just felt powerful.
Contract ?
Saxima, can you explain to me the time travel logic in KH 3D and explain how it leaves no plot holes?
I think she should be more careful of the masked killer that will be stalking them.
Bigfoot?
I wanna know what secrets you got under that hood, hoodrat.
I want to go see it for the Emma Watson cameo alone and you can't do anything to stop me!
So, I went to go see Man of Steel today. While waiting in line, I noticed an elderly lady by herself. It boggled my mind a bit to see her there. What would an older lady be doing in a line for a super hero, action film? People were obviously chatting in line, waiting to get in, and the older woman started to comment. Apparently, she had been a Superman fan for decades. She even had a golden necklace that had the logo on it, saying she had worn it for the past 30 years. I thought nothing more of it when I went into the theater. I got my snacks and found a seat. Minutes later, I noticed that she was sitting in the same row I was. I could just tell how excited she was to see this movie. I had heard many reviews on it alright, most of them mixed, but I didn’t feel like saying anything because this was something special for her. When I was watching the film, I couldn’t help but think of her. There were so many scenes where I felt they would resonate with her. In a way, it helped my movie going experience, which counted the guy talking next to me while having his phone on. As I left when the credits rolled, I passed by her and asked what she thought of it. “It was amazing,” she said to me. The smile on her face was enough for me though. Just seeing that made me end up having a better day.
I have a real dislike for his music, which has some sort of an influence on how I deem him to be. To me, his music is very generic. By that, I mean that it sounds like every other thing out there. It has no deep value; it's only out there to appeal to a certain, wide audience. He doesn't have to try. Girls will love him for his looks, and they fall for the false-emotion that is put into the songs. There is nothing moving about his singing or the lyrics. For that, I see him as arrogant. Instead of trying to do something different in a genre of music where basically no one (who makes it big) tries at all, he's just like them. There is no passion for it in him. There is no art in what he does. What he does is a way to make as much money as possible, which is something that I find personally offensive. I've also heard about what he is like as an actual person, the fame making his head become to big. I can see that in a person like him. I've found that calling him a girl because of his voice is just childish and stupid. Everyone has different ranges. He presents himself as an arrogant, self absorbed young person, which is something I'm not that well fond of either.
Ahh, I remember boot polish very well.
