When I feel like it, I can make some mean meat and potatoes.
It is established in Dream Drop Distance that Nobodies will obtain hearts of their own over time, having Xemnas just be a big liar because he had other motives. Looking at that, I think back to Days, having just played it recently. When Roxas starts out, he doesn't know anything; it may be said he doesn't have a heart. However, as the story progresses, he gets flashes into Sora's memories. I could guess that this is the heart being crafted. Personally, I do not get anything about the whole time travel thing in Dream Drop Distance. It just makes absolutely no sense, and complicates an already complicated story.
Oh, I love this really bad argument. It's one of my favorite fallacies. I saw it earlier today on Tumblr, where people were outraged about the treaty, saying that there's wars going on between other countries, and we should focus into that. Yes, those are things that should stop, but a petition alone isn't something that's going to stop it. The person who came up with it had valid points into why his visa (although he said it was a green card) should be revoked. The same thing would happen to anyone else who isn't famous and has the money to get away with practically anything. And let me remind you about the whole Death Star petition. That can be defined as something trivial. However, enough people signed the petition to where The White House had to look at it (although, I think because of that incident, they raised the number of signatures you needed). I don't recall there being any outcry that people were putting energy into something that is trivial when other things that are of importance were out there in the world. IN fact, I would love to see what the people who are outraged about the Bieber petition thought about the Death Star one.
Show me exactly how you broke the game. Like, right now.
I've never read the book, or any of Green's books for that matter. From quotes I've seen, stuff on tumblr, and friends who I trust when it comes to book recommendations say that the book is rather...pretentious. Judging from the trailer, I can clearly smell the pretentiousness. However, behind the pretentiousness, it actually looks like it's a nice, solid, fluff movie. The lead guy seemed very charming, and it looks like it'll please the fans of the book. My main issue with it is seeing how well they handle the whole "young adult living with disability" stuff. I've lived it, and it's really not how people expect it to be. It's hard to capture that stuff when you're an outside, but it happens. My favorite movie that involves that kind of stuff is 50/50 (actually, my favorite movie in general). Again, haven't read the book, but it's something I'll look out for whenever I do see it. All in all, it looks okay.
I do understand what you were saying. You put your money behind something that you enjoy. That's why I decided to buy a few episodes of BrBa, because I knew I would get a return on my investment. It's why I'm not putting any money down yet on Game of Thrones, because I don't know if I'm going to enjoy it and feel like I got my money's worth. I'll spend money on things that I feel I'll be invested in or have prior knowledge of. Take going to the movies for example. I paid to go see Frozen and enjoyed the hell out of it; I used a gift certificate to see Devi's Double, and disliked it, but I didn't feel robbed because it wasn't my money. Lone Survivor, my mom paid for, and I liked it. And I was relieved when my dad paid for Desolation of Smaug and very much dislike it. I can understand various reasons why people do torrent stuff (the one argument I dislike is the "I'm entitled to download whatever I want because it's there"). I know that anime is pretty freaking expensive at times, but companies do try to make things reasonable. Funimation may have expensive full series, but they're at least not charging that price per disc, unlike Sentai. I just feel more comfortable with what I do (which I have been bashed for constantly in the past).
Frozen. It was my top for 2013. Lone Survivor; a surprisingly good movie that is worth seeing. Her. Heard good things about Dallas Buyers Club.
To be honest, I don't know how to download from torrent sites. It's just one of those things on the internet that I don't quite understand doing. I've tried, but it's confusing for someone like me. I like streaming because I can just click a button and not worry about other things I have to do. I like Crunchyroll because they paid for the license to use their product; that's enough for (someone as simple as) me. That says to me that the original creators have given our permission for this company to broadcast this to a wider audience. So what if I don't have an internet connection? I can put on some of the shows that I bought or watch something different. I went to go see the Madoka movie last month, which involved taking a long car ride (with a bunch of other people), and was a pretty expensive trip. When I came home, I wanted to talk about it with a friend, so he downloaded it from somewhere, watched it, and came over. I didn't give him crap for it. I understand that some people download for their own reasons, which is perfectly. I don't because I really don't understand it, and if there's something I really like, I want to support it. My only exception to this rule if there is no legal way for me to get my hands on it. I want to watch Game of Thrones to see what all the hype is about, but I'm not paying for HBO and the box sets are too expensive. I can legally get it here in the States, so unless I have a friend who is willing to loan it out to me, I'm going to stay in the dark (unless I read the books). I bought a couple of episodes of the final season of Breaking Bad because I was moving and I didn't want to miss what happened. To counter that, I watched the Usagi Drop movie on YouTube. It had been a year after the movie premiered and I'm pretty sure that it has not got an official license from anywhere here in the states. And if it does somehow get licensed all these years later, I'll put aside some money to pay for it to show my support and to have a really good movie.
My first choice is always Crunchyroll. I would also say give Funimation a try; all the subtitled anime is free, but if you're someone who enjoys dubs, paying the subscription fee isn't too bad. I would say Netflix is also a good choice, but just about all the anime there is owned by Funimation, so you'd be paying the same amount as Funi, but with less of a library (on the plus side, you get tons of other films and shows).
You know what, I'm glad that the situation was dealt with in the way that it was because no one got hurt. That is a freaking miracle. Drunk driving does lead to vehicle accidents, which links to causes of numerous deaths, and they will be tried for murder. I'm happy no one was injured, especially since they were doing the drag race in a residential neighborhoods (speed limits there are between 25-30 and they were clocked at going 60). And your defense of "at least it's not murder" is very flawed. Like it or not, this is a serious crime that he did commit because of what could have potentially been the aftermath. It's like trying to defend a rapist by saying "at least he didn't kill the girl, so it shouldn't be that serious." There is a reason why there are heavy campaigns and laws against this kind of thing. He could of died, or worse, someone else could have because of his reckless endangerment. And you know what's worse, he would have gotten away with it, just as easily as he was released from jail. He would be found innocent and/or have no jail time if he had killed someone because of his celebrity and I'm willing to bet that he wouldn't lose a wink of sleep over it.
My dad's computer acts all buggy with me, so I've been tempted to do this. It's simply because my siblings put a lot of adware onto the system. All my music and films are saved through iTunes and Flixter, and as for pictures, let's just say I don't have much to save or even worth saving for that matter.
Wait, they got to the sun in about 4 hours? The real news is that they discovered a way to move through time.
Call me when you've done that three times at least. (4 times for me baby)
While it is just a book, and it's the message, not the physical book itself that is important, it's the message that's thrown behind it from the person who took the photo. He is acknowledging that the book itself means something and be disrespectful in his actions. While I am a Christian, I would like to believe I'm more tolerant than most. And when I say Christian, all I mean is that I believe in God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit. I personally don't follow any branches (catholicism, evangelicals, etc.) simply because a lot of it counters with my views. Having to explain how I see things to other Christians (the fact that I believe that all religions stem from the same place and that the way to get into heaven is not believing in one faith but doing something with the life that you are given), it turns into a heated debate. My own personal rule is that if you believe in something and it's different from mine, you're cool with me UNLESS it brings harm to yourself or other people (WBBC for example). I like learning about other people's faiths, and I'm open minded in adopting some aspects into my own life. I think it's wrong to disrespect someone else's beliefs simply because they aren't your own. Everyone has a different ways at looking at the world, so not everyone is going to believe the same things. I believe what I believe for my own reasons, and I extend that same courtesy to others.
Same reason why Dan Schneider keeps finding work in Hollywood. I would say I identify as this kind of person. That's just something that doesn't immediately come to mind when I'm thinking about going to see a movie, read a book, or other things. It's a small detail that doesn't really concern me for the most part. My top 5 movies last year, if I'm forced to think about it, were balanced in what gender the leads were. It even goes when I'm writing a story. In the beginning, I'm coming up who they are as a person. I think about who they are, according to their personality. I decide on whatever gender they're going to be based partially on the personality, but also due to the theme of the story I want to tell. I don't put gender roles into much thought for it; all I want to do is have interesting characters in a good story.
Yeah, I definitely picked up on that idea of depression while watching it. Again, part of my own interpretation has to do with my own problems and my need to pass one of my roughest classes.
So yeah, the Worship Roadshow came by my town and the headliner was Skillet (along with Third Day). It had definitely been a while since I had listened to their music, so I wasn't too excited to see it until yesterday when I picked up the tickets. Had to get through some bands in order to listen to them (some better than others), but it was all SOOO worth it! They really know how to put on a show! I was crying during The Last Night. Monster was definitely the highlight of the entire show. Just listening to them was worth the ticket money alone!
Obsessed with three songs right now Let it Go sung by Idina Menzel. She just captures that song perfectly. I love the emotion put into it and the lyrics are amazing! Being Alive sung by Raul Esparaza from Company (2006). It's just a beautifully written song that explores the idea of what it means to love someone. Pair it with Esparaza's vocals and liberties with the song, and it turns to something that I can't turn off (A great song to listen to if you really dug the movie Her). Monster by Skillet. Yeah, after hearing them live tonight, and especially with that song, there's a reason why they are one of my favorite bands.
I like how the film is open to those kinds of interpretations. When I first saw it, I felt that it was a great movie for those who are trying to overcome disabilities to see and get inspired from it. Of course, that could just be drawn from my own personal experiences growing up and the fact that I was really studying hard for my Special Education final at around that time. Elsa is born differently, and due to that, she is kept away from others for her own safety. The way the parents act around her, keeping her away from others and raising her different, that stuff happens with a lot of kids who grow up with disabilities, and something I can attest to. That's why I was able to understand the parents; they were in the wrong, but that's typical behavior. Let it Go can be seen as an acceptance song, especially with what goes on with the song. It's basically saying that Elsa is accepting herself for who she is and she isn't going to allow anyone to ruin that for her. As disabled people grow up, they become more aware of themselves, where they stand in society, and end up closing themselves up. Many times, they will try to make the most out of there life, and a lot of it is taking that step of doing whatever makes them happy and succeeding with that.
