While, technically, I'm not dying, legally, I am crippled.

A man can dream god dammit!

Are you denying a dying, crippled man his dream?

If I've learned one thing from Pompeii (both the actual disaster and the movie), it's that if I'm facing certain death due to a volcanic eruption, I'm going to die in an awesome pose.

One thing that I think should be clear is that Kingdom Hearts is made in Japan, so there definately are some cultural differences between them and a lot of the western world. For example, when you're in Twilight Town as Roxas, you hear them discuss about homework they have to do over summer vacation. Now, you may sometimes have this if you're in AP classes or have summer reading to do, but this is not something that is usually done here in the US because it's the transition period of grade levels. In Japan, summer vacation is about a month, and takes place during the school year, not the transition period.

Now, bring it on subject, I've also noticed that the idea of "bromance" is very different from here in the west. Here, you generally think of it as something as two "bros" getting together and doing "bro" things. It's very masculine. In Japan though, it is very different. It's not the write words, but it's almost like they are in love with each other because they are really close. They don't love each other to want to date each other; it's like they're a really close brother who they can be open with. Plus, Sora and Riku have been friends since they were kids; they should have a close friendship.

Well, I think it's a standard storytelling tool; it more annoys me when it comes at the end of the film. If it's early on, it doesn't bug me too much, but if it's something that happens at the end, then that tells me that the main character isn't all that strong and they didn't learn anything.

If you study the art of storytelling, the act of "deus ex machina" will often come in between the first and second act of the story (building off Campbell's The Hero's Story model). At this point in the story, our hero is entering the new world and is rather inexperienced. He'll be approached by a Threshold Guardian to test him to see if he's really capable of living in the new world. More often than not, the character has to find another way to get by them without right out fighting them because they would lose otherwise. Sometimes, it's a random act by an outside force that saves them. This stage is just so the hero can get their feet wet in the new world.

Now, if this same thing happens during the third act of the story, this means that the writer is lazy and that the whole journey was pointless. The whole point of any story is for a hero to start out one way, enter a new world, and then use what they have learned in their old world. However, if they need an outside force to help them, that that means they never really learned anything, making the journey pointless, as well as the story.

Madoka Magica

Spoiler

This happens after Mami's death. Madoka and Sayaka are stuck in the witch's laberynth, now that their mentor has been killed right in front of their eyes. They don't have the strength to take down the witch, and they are hesitant with Kyubey's request. That's when Homura comes in to save the day. It was an outside force that saved them, but only because they didn't have the power to.

Kids are the biggest ******bags in the world, so their opinions mean nothing to me.

Let''st take it in for a moment and realize we all did something together! We didn't mess things up (totally).

Finally! I feel like I'm the only person whose seen it! It really gets interesting when they're stuck on the ski lift. It's slow when it starts out, but when they get to that point...Oh; Disney. Sorry, thinking of another movie.

I expect this kind of "taking things out of context" navel-gazing from Tumblr! God dammit Twitter!

I had followed Kill La Kill for the most part during the Fall season but didn't really care much after episode 15. I thought the show was okay at that time--a bit too over the top for my taste, but I didn't find anything honestly bad about it. I decided to catch up on it today, and I'm glad that I did. I felt that a lot of the episodes I watched were kinda...meh. I mean, they had tons of twists put in, most of them being glaringly obvious. It wasn't until episode 20 where I really got into it. And when I watched the finale, I thought it was very well done and better than what I expected it to do when I started my marathon.

For a long time, I was having a hard time telling if the show was taking itself too seriously. I mean, c'mon, it's a show about clothes from outer space. It wasn't until they basically repeated the line "We don't make sense" where it hit me that this show didn't take itself serious. It didn't have its head up its ass; it knew exactly what it was from the get go. From that point, I was really able to enjoy it, laughing along with things that were supposed to be funny along with when they attempted to try something serious.

I really like how it ended too. It's how an action series should end. It had great action, well animated, and an interesting way of taking down the big bad. It had me really sucked in, which is what I feel the finale of any show should do.

1. I have no clue. Like, really. My parents legally are divorced, but now they're acting like they used to when they were married. They've done this kind of crap before. They're a terrible couple, and I just want them to make up their minds on what their going to do.

That explains a lot. Whenever I go toward the movie section there, I take a look at how much it is and yell "Dem crack prices!"

What the hell?! Where did you get it that it costs $40. Everywhere I go, the blu-ray is around $20-25, tops.

Does it involve a back ally with a questionable looking fella named Chuck?

Finished the game with $128 to spare. I probably should've broken into the kid's piggy bank though. I helped him with his math homework and went to his god damn play. I think the least he owes me is $15!

Also, I wasn't kidding about the children's book!

I swear to God, this damn book is in every elementary school here in the Southwest!

This upsets me.
