That was me. Again, he's someone who is breed by a corporation, meaning he wants to make a quick buck. It doesn't seem to have worked though because IMDb reported that the movie tanked badly during Christmas day, and is reported to not make that much over the weekend. That just proves how irrelevant he is, and why he pulls BS like this; it's for attention so people will still know he's out there.

I'm surprised this thing is even news. The only way I know about this is that IMDb posted something about it. Granted, yes, I was happy. I was really happy. As a person, I could care less about him, but I don't find his music enjoyable. It's standard corporate pop with no emotion put into it (look up Bo Burnham's Repeat Stuff for further reference).

It's kind of convient that he does this as soon as he has a new movie coming out this month. Kind of like how he and Ms. Gomez "broke up" at around the same time the two of them were having new songs were being released. How very convient to get their name in the press at around the time something comes it that will make them some big money.

So, the moral here is: Art is a lie, nothing is real.

Too much of this sounds like The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but I doubt that's it.

L-Shaped Blocks

I wait for four straight blocks to come,
but all I get are L-shaped blocks. No matter
how many times I play, I have already gathered some
rows together. If I don’t get this, blood will splatter.

That straight line, I say it’s running late,
like the Belle of the ball, who has a purpose to
break the spell, save the day. Why is that the state?
Why is this Belle’s mission to accomplish and do?

Think of Loki, who is the brother of Thor,
and broke the routine, creating chaos to follow him.
His power is great, though selfishness he bore.
Breaking from the past life, his own life is dim.

Both Loki and Bell are shaped like L,
Taking different paths, but both roads untraveled.
One received peace through works, the other hell.
Finally! A straight-block to burn down the wall they built.

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!

How about the Krampus?

My early gift is from my grandma, which is a pretty nice jacket. Makes me feel like an adult and stuff.

EDIT: got some kick ass cookies,

Watch Rare Exports.

I'm going to come in saying that I love the original novel, but I haven't read/seen the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I didn't really care for the first film. When I watch a movie based off anything, especially if it's based off a novel I have read, I try to not think of the source material and judge it on its own merit.

As its own movie (not thinking about the novel), the film was...okay, I guess? There were some good scenes here and there, and a lot of the fight scenes seemed well choreographed (although I couldn't make out what was going on). Smaug was really the saving grace of the film. Everything about those last few scenes added some intensity that the film was definitely missing. The pacing was very confusing though, and a lot of the movie dragged. Also, the movie had absolutely no focus.

Now, as an adaptation, it was bad. My main issue is that it's three movies. I can get behind the idea of it being two films, which was the original intention. The story of The Hobbit is simple. Something that people constantly point out is that The Hobbit is a prequel to The Lord of the Rings, which isn't entirely correct. The Hobbit was written as a stand alone book. Yes, when The Lord of the Rings was being written, there was a revised edition that came out to better fit in with the books, but Tolkien changed all of that back.

I honestly have no problem when it comes to a lot of adaptations. I don't mind if they change, add, or completely leave out things, as long as they keep the same theme and message constant throughout, which is this film's (and franchise's) biggest sin. The story is about Bilbo and his journey of growing as a person. It's not about the elves, dwarves getting their gold, or even Smaug; it's about how one hobbit that didn't amount to anything goes on a journey, finds something that has been missing in his life, and becomes a more open person. In this movie though, there is very little of Bilbo. That's crazy, considering that the title of the whole thing is THE HOBBIT. I went to see it with my dad, and when we were discussing it afterwards, he told me he was surprised when I told him that the main character was Bilbo. His exact words were "I though he was just some side character".

My personal theory is that Peter Jackson loves the world that Tolkien created, but is not a big fan of The Hobbit. So he brings in all this stuff that may be cannon in Middle Earth, but doesn't add anything to the story. Because of this, the movie loses all focus, and it feels like there is no message that the movie is trying to tell. And that's bad because the original story had a good message: It's okay to take risks as long as your reasonable about it. Step up or step aside. If the movie loses the meaning because of all that is added, were they really necessary.

(Now, I'm going to post spoiler stuff, so you've been warned)

Like take the ring for instance. In the original story, the ring has no affect on Bilbo. In the movie, they did it just so it fit with the continuity of the story. I can understand that, but that makes things a whole lot harder, especially when the original story has him wearing it for a rather long time when war breaks out. Seeing where it ended as well, they don't have much left to cover. Of course, Jackson seems to be the king of padding, so I guess he'll come up with something to drag it out.

Another thing that bugged me was Legolas and the female elf. They were brought it for what seemed like two reasons: 1. for the fanboys and 2. to create a very weak love triangle. The whole love story aspect felt very weak and forced, like it was the studio's decision to put it in because they believe that love triangles attract an audience. In the end, they did nothing with both of those characters, so why bring them in the story in the first place.

That same sentiment goes to Gandalf's story, where he fights the orcs and sees the Eye of Souron. It's a good nod to the series I guess, but was it really necessary. It adds nothing to the story that is going on, so why put it in the film in the first place?

All in all, the movie was just okay. If I had to honestly rate it, it would be a 5/10, and that's being nice. Yeah, Smaug was great, but what I had to get through to see him wasn't really worth it. It doesn't seem like Jakcson cares much for Bilbo's story at all, which is sad because, if it's told right, it would be such a great movie.

CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCYLES!!

But I don't really like Sword Art Online...

Yay! I'm not the only one whose like this!

Anyway, the problem is just AniplexUSA. That's how they sell their DVDs and Blu Rays. A lot of the big companies sell their products to be very expensive. The only company that doesn't seem to do that is FUNimation (who own Soul Eater and FMA). For the same price of a few episodes from AniplexUSA, you get the entire series, usually with a limited edition box set from FUNimation. FUNi knows the audience that they are marketing to; that's why they're the biggest contributor to Netflix and other mediums. There's a reason why they almost have a monopoly on the English speaking anime industry.

If you don't mind the occasional spam, Cragslist s a good choice.

I have the DVD though
