It was commenting on an article in which a producer was saying what would have happened if Paramount got its hands on it. Here are some highlights of the numerous scripts that Paramount was thinking about getting:<br /><br />Bella would have been more badass.<br /><br />There would have been a Korean FBI Agent looking for vampires.<br /><br />There would have been a SWAT vampire hunting team.<br /><br />More boys. More action.<br /><br />Ummmmm.... SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!<br /><br />Holy shit this sounds WAY MORE EXCITING than the boring ass movies that are out. It was simply because of these possibilities that I'm scrapping MY boring ass fanfic that's too faithful to Twilight. I was like "fuck it." I'm gonna redo everything. Well, I'm gonna try.<br /><br />Well read the whole excerpt from the board.

<br />Yeah, after hearing about the D23 Avengers clip in which Tony Stark and Loki have an interesting conversation (expect that to spawn even more Tony Stark/Loki Slash) and even before that... I've loved the Avengers.
<br />
<br />Well, I guess me and Marvel are like me and Star Trek - I tried to be different (or the same, I don't know) and like Star Wars better, but my heart and everything else tell me, yeah, I like Star Trek a thousand times better (guess what Star Wars is).memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-63350733887598559772011-08-20T01:04:00.000-07:002011-08-20T01:35:58.673-07:00My View On Remakes Today<span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span>It's summed up pretty much on the Footloose remake board of IMDb.

<br />
<br /><img src=http://rosesandpoetry12.webs.com/Original%20and%20Response.png>
<br />
<br />Just so you know, I'm clichekiller12.
<br />
<br />And there is partially my outlook on remakes; well, the more positive form of that, because sometimes, I can be very bitter about them.memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-56140739123512620882011-08-13T05:14:00.000-07:002011-08-13T08:50:18.691-07:00Dirty Dancing...THE REMAKE!?
<br />
<br /><img src=http://static.periscopepost.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/dirty-dancing-game.jpg>
<br />
<br />At first when I heard of this, I was like, "Ah, <i>hell</i> no!" This has got to be one of the most beautiful love stories in my opinion that I've ever seen. It had Patrick Swayze (he was SO GORGEOUS!!!!), Jennifer Grey (badass honey bunny married to Clark Gregg, who plays <a href=http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0037737/>this badass mofo</a>), and Jerry Orbach (who I first knew as Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast - yeah <a href=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101414/combined>that one</a>).
<br />
<br />And then I heard that <a href=http://www.nextmovie.com/blog/kenny-ortega-dirty-dancing-casting/>this guy</a> was directing it, I was like, "Ah, <i>fuck</i> no!"
<br />
<br />But then I read <a href=http://uk.eonline.com/news/the_awful_truth/cast_flick_dirty_dancing_remake/257365>this article</a>.
<br />
<br />I've got to say, even though I said I didn't hate him, I still kind of do. But I have a love/hate type of thing going for his articles. Basically anytime he mentions Robsten (the Robert Pattinson/Kristen Stewart coupling), or tries to cause trouble (which is a lot), he makes me want to tear my computer to shreds. However, when he has casting ideas, they are usually <i>fucking epic</i> (except for the two other suggestions for Johnny), <b>especially</b> when he mentions Garrett Hedlund. The fact that he loves this guy keeps me from completely hating him.
<br />
<br />So, anyway, Mr. Casablanca suggested Garrett Hedlund as one of the choices for Johnny Castle. Um, <i>sign me up</i>!
<br />
<br />I would <i>totally</i> watch this if it had Garrett Hedlund as Johnny. He can sing, act, and he has that misunderstood sexy woobie vibe going on. He is so perfect!
<br />
<br />Also, a note that my twin pointed out, before we go on to the main subject of this post:
<br />
<br />Kenny Ortega did the choreography for the original one. Also, in the article listed above (mentioning him), he knows that there is a certain risk to making a remake, and he wouldn't shove hip-hop dancing down our throats. Well, at least he didn't do that for HSM, This Is It, or most of his other films. Hopefully, he will do that with this.
<br />
<br />Okay, so anyway, that Ted Casablanca article got me thinking:
<br />
<br />What are some good choices for the characters?
<br />
<br />And, well, because no one demanded it, here are my choices for the different characters:
<br />
<br /><b>Johnny Castle</b>
<br />
<br />Choice Number One:
<br />
<br />Garrett Hedlund
<br />
<br /><img src=https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI3ndTb3xJJSFppluULjECtV4oAw56IXPz5m_Fe-cdUGhR9PF85wU3j56xB4glUTQ0uOQI-Odk69aguIEYjVLzs1klk57gu2S7fhoKL1UZSnoqRrqgy-ZtlIVQh5gI11VvYyMlXGbZtG8/s1600/Garrett+Hedlund.jpg>
<br />My reasoning: This picture, and see above.
<br />
<br />Choice Number Two:
<br />
<br />Chris Hemsworth
<br />
<br /><img src=http://www.accesshollywood.com/content/images/145/originals/145359_chris-hemsworth-talks-competing-on-australias-dancing-with-the-stars.jpg>
<br />My reasoning: He's a fantastic actor, tall, muscular, deep voice... oh and this:
<br />
<br /><iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kJ8FGRalerw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
<br />
<br />Yeah. He can fucking <i>dance</i>. DAMN. I would say something along the lines of "Dat Ass" or "I could watch his...I mean, I could watch him dancing all day", but I really think that would be overstepping the boundaries just a pinch.
<br />
<br /><b>Frances "Baby" Houseman</b>
<br />
<br />I happen to have, like, five choices for this role:
<br />
<br />Choice One:
<br />
<br />Emily Browning
<br />
<br /><img src=http://www.boshank.com/wp-content/gallery/emily-browning/emily-browning01.jpg>
<br />
<br />Her nickname in Sucker Punch was Babydoll. She can act with her eyes. She plays an innocent, yet strong character in both of the movies I have seen her in (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Sucker Punch). Also, she just has that look.
<br />
<br />Choice Two:
<br />
<br />Selena Gomez
<br />
<br /><img src=http://www.mustreadstuff.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Selena-Gomez-photoshoot-for-Kiss-Tell.jpg>
<br />
<br />I know many would probably kill me for suggesting a Disney actress for the role of Baby, but you know what I say to that? I don't give a fuck. She can sing, and yes, she can dance, as shown in Another Cinderella Story (unless if someone else did the dancing, which I have yet to hear). She also is not a bad actress, from what I've seen (yes I watched Wizards of Waverly Place for a little while). She's very much a young bombshell, an essence of youth, and she still maintains an air of innocence. So yes, she would be a good choice.
<br />
<br />Choice Three:
<br />
<br />AnnaSophia Robb
<br />
<br /><img src=http://i2.listal.com/image/1886017/600full-annasophia-robb.jpg>
<br />
<br />To be honest, she is probably my favorite choice. In everything I've seen her in, she proved she can take on the role. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, she portrayed an arrogant overachiever with such bratty annoyance, perfect for the role. In Because of Winn Dixie, she played the new girl with a feeling of loneliness that is extremely convincing, and she actively shows the character development that the character goes through in the movie. And in Jumper, her performance easily outshines the rest of the actors, save Max Thieriot (they both portray the young versions of the main characters), and Jamie Bell. I didn't even recognize her; she became a teenager mature beyond her years, someone who would defend someone being uselessly ridiculed. Someone who showed real concern for someone who disappeared without a trace. And she had chemistry with the main man. She and he made a promise that this movie would be full of intrigue, drama, suspense and action, a promise that the main actors unfortunately broke. And that role, of only a few minutes, is the reason why I think she is absolutely perfect for Baby.
<br />
<br />Choice Four:
<br />
<br />Ellen Page
<br />
<br /><img src=https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8KyJG-elviMhFg4FLDosM4NeC8V76-R8dEnK0KxHKTh47ALm0P-LdyJ-tpYKmtNCd_h03sfeUensWocTM-P31ahjKfW1Zm9dc5XOoLXkQYZsSnUQObURM29i1BIkJ53bmuhjzhweGwTk/s1600/ellen-page.jpg>
<br />
<br />From what I saw of The American Crime, Ellen Page can be innocent and caring, yet strong. That is also what I saw of her in Inception. Although she might not be the most perfect choice, I could see her pulling it off. She can be young, she is an incredible actress with gravitas (as seen in Inception and, yes, Juno). So, yeah, not bad.
<br />
<br />Choice Five:
<br />
<br />Elle Fanning (if the movie were delayed for a couple of years)
<br />
<br /><img src=http://vintagerebel.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/elle-fanning-lula-magazine.jpg>
<br />
<br />I think she would be perfect - only if she was a bit older! She is probably one of the best actresses I have seen in a long time, able to invoke emotion without forcing it upon us. She is able to capture the innocence of childhood, yet the harshness of reality - in a Sci Fi movie, <i>at the age of thirteen</i>. So, please, if this movie could be delayed, cast her!
<br />
<br />Other Suggestions:
<br />Mia Wasikowska
<br />Chelsea Kane
<br />Vanessa Hudgens
<br />Emmy Rossum
<br />
<br /><b>Dr. Jake Houseman</b>
<br />
<br />Four Choices:
<br />
<br />Gary Oldman
<br />
<br /><img src=http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l13lkvX9ZX1qa7rrso1_500.jpg>
<br />
<br />He's Gary fucking Oldman. A chameleon; he successfully played two father figures in two completely different ways (Harry Potter movies and Batman movies). He can be understanding, yet obtuse, a contradiction sought after by many, but not easily played well. He can be kind, yet disappointed, even though I haven't seen him in many movies (yeah, I'm not a true movie geek), but I know he can do this, because, as I've said before, he's Gary fucking Oldman.
<br />
<br />Hugh Laurie
<br />
<br /><img src=http://images.eonline.com/eol_images/Entire_Site/20080915/300.laurie.hugh.lc.091508.jpg>
<br />
<br />I've barely seen anything with him in it (unfortunately, I'm not a regular watcher of House). However, he has that look of fatherly qualities, and from what I've seen of him (the first Stuart Little movie, and a couple of House episodes), he can definitely play a complex character, capable of compassion, rage, and pure snark. Perhaps this is the Dr. Houseman I've been looking for. After all, Hugh Laurie most famously plays a man named Dr. House.
<br />
<br />Kevin Bacon
<br />
<br /><img src=http://desktopia.net/wp-content/uploads/walls/thumbs/X-Men-First-Class-2011-Movie-Kevin-Bacon-575x359.jpg>
<br />
<br />Well, first off, I absolutely adore Kevin Bacon (and I know that's "strange" for a teenage girl to admit). Second, an honorable mention that's he's been in Footloose, but that doesn't matter, considering I'm supposed to be basing casting decisions on what's needed for the role, and he certainly doesn't need to dance. But he's an actor of fine caliber, actually my favorite choice for the role. I've seen him as a dancer (duh, Footloose), a businessman turned revenge gangsta type of dude (I'm bad at describing), and, most recently, an energy stealing villain and more. Why am I mentioning this? Because I'm showing you he can be a chameleon, but you already knew that, because he's Kevin Bacon. He's great at being protective of his on screen children from what I've seen, and, as I've just said, he can pretty much do any role. So yeah. Don't let my positive bias and obvious favor for this guy fool you, he's still fucking awesome.
<br />
<br />Robert Downey Jr.
<br />
<br /><img src=http://snarkerati.com/movie-news/files/2008/06/robert-downey-jr-2.jpg>
<br />
<br />I take it back - this man is perfect for the part. A well to do man, protective of his family, all wise, yet not all knowing, and accepting at the end. Hell, he pretty much played the part already in Charlie Bartlett, sans well to do (he's kind of a drunk). In that movie, he's reluctant to let go of his daughter to this "strange and dangerous" young man. Oh, and how great would it be to see Thor and Iron Man in the same movie fighting over a young woman important to them? Uh, RDJ, how soon can you do the part?
<br />
<br />Other Suggestions:
<br />Liev Schreiber
<br />Hugo Weaving
<br />Christoph Waltz
<br />
<br /><b>Max Kellerman</b>
<br />
<br />Alec Baldwin
<br />
<br /><img src=http://dc-cdn.virtacore.com/2011/04/alec-baldwin.jpeg>
<br />
<br />He's a smarmy, tough businessman. Who else but Alec Baldwin could play him?
<br />
<br />Another suggestion:
<br />Tim Robbins
<br />
<br /><b>Penny Johnson</b>
<br />
<br />She's the former girlfriend, yet still bff of Johnny Castle. Also, she's the original dance partner.
<br />
<br />Two Choices:
<br />
<br />Yaya Dacosta
<br />
<br /><img src=http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTU5NDU1MzI1N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTM2MzEzMQ@@._V1._SX214_CR0,0,214,314_.jpg>
<br />
<br />She can dance, from what I've seen of her in Take the Lead. She knows how to be professional with beauty, so she knows how to portray professional with beauty (she was in America's Next Top Model, and Tron Legacy). And also from what I've seen from Take the Lead, she can do drama, pretty damn well. Hell, if she was a bit younger, she could probably play Baby.
<br />
<br />Abbie Cornish
<br />
<br /><img src=http://www.thenewsinn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/abbie_cornish_wallpaper1.jpg>
<br />
<br />She pretty much plays this role already in Sucker Punch - old time dancer reluctant of the new girl at first, but then accepts her and lets her save her. Yeah, she's the best actress for the role.
<br />
<br />Other Suggestions:
<br />
<br />Olivia Wilde
<br />Summer Glau
<br />Rashida Jones
<br />Jena Malone
<br />
<br /><b>Lisa Houseman</b>
<br />
<br />Two choices:
<br />
<br />Kat Dennings
<br />
<br /><img src=http://29.media.tumblr.com/DWBJWCopQjvkvw0kG3WwW3wSo1_500.jpg>
<br />
<br />Snarky, yet sort of understanding. This is Kat Dennings' role in most of her movies. Plus, she's a looker.
<br />
<br />Mary Elizabeth Winstead
<br />
<br /><img src=http://www.slasherbob.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/mary-elizabeth-winstead-2.jpg>
<br />
<br />She's beautiful, yet can play snarky. Just see her in Live Free or Die Hard.
<br />
<br />Other Suggestions:
<br />Natalia Tena
<br />Lea Michele
<br />Brie Larson
<br />Lindsay Lohan

<br /><b>Marjorie Houseman</b>
<br />
<br />Dana Delany
<br />
<br /><img src=http://www.wikifeet.com/pictures/Dana-Delany-Feet-317621.jpg>
<br />
<br />She can be a housewife, a standout, and definitely someone that RDJ would get with. I have no other reason, except I can just picture her as that role.
<br />
<br />Another suggestion:
<br />Lauren Graham
<br />
<br /><b>Neil Kellerman</b>
<br />
<br />Basically the "other guy".
<br />
<br />Two Choices:
<br />
<br />Johnny Simmons
<br />
<br /><img src=http://cdn.crushable.com/files/2011/06/Johnny-Simmons-pic.jpg>
<br />
<br />He played the other guy in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World (kind of). He also played kind of clueless, but adorkable as well. So, someone sign him up!
<br />

<br />He played adorkable, and extremely sexy nerdy in X Men First Class. Also, he played someone who just didn't get the chick he was attempting to win over. Even more perfect for this role.

<br />Two Choices:
<br />
<br />Shia Labeouf
<br />

<br />
<br />Damn Shia! I used to love you so much! Then you became kind of a douche. So, be a man and poke fun at yourself by portraying this character! Because we all know Robbie could <i>never</i> beat up Johnny, just as you could never, <i>ever</i> beat up Tom Hardy.
<br />
<br />Cam Gigandet
<br />

<br />
<br />He plays a total douche in Never Back Down, and he's more of a believable womanizer than Shia Labeouf.

The. HELL?<br /><br />Why give Megan Fox a big MIDDLE FINGER throughout the whole movie?<br /><br />Why get someone who's NOT HUMAN to play Sam's OMG new girlfriend?<br /><br />WHY THE FUCK DO YOU KILL IRONHIDE THE AWESOME??????<br /><br />WHY MAKE IT 500,000,000 HOURS LONG!?!?!?<br /><br />WHY MAKE MEGATRON SOMEONE ELSE'S BITCH <b>AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!?</B><br /><br />WHY MAKE THE MOVIE ABOUT THE FUCKING PEOPLE INSTEAD ABOUT THE FUCKING ROBOTS!?!?!?!? <b>ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH</b><br /><br />FUCK YOU MICHAEL BAY!<br /><br />That all said, I still kind of want to see that movie. Too bad it's going to beat Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in box office. You know what, NO. Maybe I should wait to rent it so I don't have to pay that self entitled jackass (Michael, not Shia), who basically put himself in the movie as Shia and gave him god powers. Yeah. No.<br /><br />The only silver lining I can see from this is that they plan to do new Transformers movies - without Michael Bay. <a href=http://www.shadowphantomangel.blogspot.com>DD Angel</a> said that Hollywood should take note: Only reboot movies and franchises that <i>need</i> rebooting, like this one. I certainly agree. And maybe, if the gods of Asgard are nice, maybe, Marvel could possibly buy Transformers. Imagine it: Iron Man and Optimus Prime <i>in the same fucking movie</i>.

You know how?<br /><br />Two posts changed my mind, and then another made me love this guy even more:<br /><br /><a href=http://uk.eonline.com/uberblog/b243736_Ed_Westwick_Lands_Plum_Movie_Role__Just_Like_Blake_.html>One...</a><br /><br /><a href=http://uk.eonline.com/uberblog/the_awful_truth/b247586_superdudes_unite_spider-man_tron.html>Two...</a><br /><br /><a href=http://uk.eonline.com/uberblog/the_awful_truth/b248062_caught_andrew_garfield_garrett_hedlund.html>KAPOW!</a><br /><br />He loves Andrew Garfield and Garrett Hedlund. Also, he's not afraid to say what he thinks, like that Romeo should just ditch Juliet and get with Tybalt (great idea Ted!).<br /><br />I think I was hating more of his blunt words than him; I don't know, I still get irritated but, I shouldn't, since it's just his opinion. I shouldn't hate on other people because of their opinions - I don't think he does.<br /><br />PS: One thing that still irks me about this guy though is his use of the word "relaysh" - short for relationship. It's worse than "perf"!memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-28210384251575836352011-04-30T16:35:00.000-07:002011-05-22T00:47:34.218-07:00I love some horrible movies (just a rant)And I have to learn not to care. For instance, I absolutely adore Ultraviolet and Transformers 2. And I don't give a shit, or at least I'm trying not to. I had the very fortunate luck of seeing these movies before hearing other people's opinions of these movies. I got to judge them my own. One part of Ultraviolet, that was my favorite, was this part when this older "mentor" type of guy (played by the badass William Fichtner, whose respect I gained because of his awesomeness in Equlibrium, TDK, and Prison Break) to Ultraviolet (the main chick) responds to UV's question. She was wondering why he bothered to keep her alive. He got all teary-eyed and said, "Isn't it obvious?" or something like that. Oh God, that part gets me EVERYTIME. That and all the awesome action scenes. I guess I miss the point of some movies. Like when people are asked what was the best part of Wolverine (I HATE THAT MOVIE, btw), most of them state naked Hugh Jackman. The first thing I mentioned was LIEV SCHREIBER! And my twin looked at me weirdly and asked, "What else?" I shrugged, and she was like, "Uh hello, what about Hugh Jackman?" and I'm like, "Oh yeah, him too." Now to get back on track, there are "bad" movies that have parts that stick out to me that feel real (like the part of UV mentioned above), and that's what changes the outcome of me liking some movies sometimes. It's weird. Like, sure, UV had a BUNCH of plot holes and horrible dialog (ok well not THAT much, on the dialog part anyway), that scene changed how I viewed that movie significantly. I don't know, I guess I'm weird.<br /><br />I also don't like some "classic" movies, such as, I hate to say it, Fargo. I tried to like that movie so much, but I was so bored. Maybe I "just don't get it", or something. Well at least I have some credit, considering I absolutely love Silence of the Lambs.<br /><br />Speaking of awesome movies, here are some movies I REALLY am looking forward to:<br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ilA0gggRFyQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />The robots are so awesome and the part with Sam holding a gun bein all emotional - I LURVE Shia LeBeouf - this is gonna be FUGGIN AWESOME!!!!! This has less chance of sucking because even Michael Bay mentioned Transformers 2 was a little less than sub par (I still like the movie - it could've been better).<br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oFFfJZuw8tI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Please don't suck like X-Men Origins Wolverine, Please don't suck, please don't suck, PLEASE DON'T SUCK!!!! This movie looks SO much better than I thought it'd be - hopefully it delivers.<br /><br />There are many other movies I'm looking forward to - even HP7pt2, even if that trailer is hilarious as hell ("NO!" X 7).<br /><br />Well that's it for now. This was going to be an April post, but it's May. Whatevs.<br /><br />PS: Is it just me, or is Michael Fassbender (Magneto) hot? RAWR.<br /><br />PSS: This just said it was May 1, but now April 30 it says.

How? Read:<br /><br /><i>Goldilocks:<br /><br /><img src=http://www.free-stories.net/images/goldilocksandthethreebears.jpg><br />From http://www.free-stories.net/fairy-tales/goldilocks-and-the-three-bears.html<br /><br />In a world known to few<br />It seems all so brand new<br />In the theme of electric and lights<br />Someone close to you will for them fight<br /><br />And fight you will have to<br />For their safety is your concern<br />Three Challenges you will go through<br />And three Warriors to discern<br /><br />First, a Bulwark to break through<br />Then an Evacuation you must defend<br />Lastly the three warriors shall face you<br />Only one will guide you to the end</i><br /><br />Yeah this is a T*Witches (books) and Tron crossover; however, the person is not an OC, but a chick from T*Witches named Elizabeth Fish. The Three Bears are three programs called the B.E.A.R (Bulwark Evacuation And Reconnissance) programs: Alpha, Gamma, and Iota. A character from Tron 2.0 (a video game that has been retconned in the official continuity) is her "guide" and her boyfriend - Jett Bradley, the son of Alan Bradley. Beth's father worked (in my fanfic) worked at Encom, in the Gotham branch (for me, Gotham City is in Massachusetts and Marble Bay (the town in T*Witches) is a semi-suburb of Gotham). He got transferred to the main headquarters in L.A., where he became a boardmember of the company. He then disappeared not long after, in the same fashion as Kevin Flynn (you won't know what I'm talking about unless if you've seen the movies). Beth officially moves to California to find out what happens to her father and gets sucked into the world of Tron.<br /><br />Speaking of Tron...<br /><br />Here is a thingy that happens like right after Tron Legacy and it tells of the "Flynn Lives" movement (which Beth was a part of in my fanfic), and what happens right after. And you would have to have watched BOTH movies to get everything in the video.<br /><br />MAJOR SPOILERS:<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GaodH483Ako" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />And to end my little electronic themed blog post, here's a techno-hip hop song by Tinie Tempah and Ellie Goulding called "Wonderman" (it's awesome):<br /><br /><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/v-FWDsXUCes" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Now I have to get back to homework.memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-13059840777038303412011-01-23T09:42:00.000-08:002011-01-23T11:01:29.858-08:00The Thief's Other Half, The Legacy of Awesome, The Genre Savvy Man (Somewhat), The Revenge-Bound Mexican and The Dream World With No LimitationsFirst off the fairytale:<br /><br /><i>Maid Marian<br /><br /><img src=http://www.bbc.co.uk/nottingham/content/images/2006/10/06/robin_hood_08_300x400.jpg><br />From http://www.bbc.co.uk/nottingham/content/image_galleries/robin_hood_tv_gallery.shtml?8<br /><br />Your royal blood might be your undoing<br />Or it shall be your making<br />Those you love you are losing<br />Their lives are up for the taking<br /><br />You struggle to find them<br />Look for guidance at the centre<br />The darkness you should not condemn<br />Answers and allies you will find there<br /><br />Find the bow that binds you<br />Strike swift and silent <br />And may the truth forever find you<br />Perhaps the curse karma brought will relent</i><br /><br />After much debate between me and only me, I decided upon an OC (original character) named Lyra Malfoy to be Maid Marian. It was originally another OC, but then I realized this character fit so much better with the prophecy. Lyra Malfoy is (duh) from Harry Potter and another major storyline in this story is that of Constantine (the movie). She is nicknamed "The Enchantress" after a certain annoying...female dog (not an actual dog) in a certain animated awesome 1991 movie because the first person she cursed was someone who rejected her. She made him a reaper (his story is mostly with Beauty's story... you see where I'm getting at). She's cursed several other people and her main archnemesis is the daughter of Linton Midnite (from Constantine). Lyra is a pure-blood witch from the Malfoy family. She is the only one with dark hair. She went to Hogwarts for two years, before dropping out and joining another school (this school is no doubt inspired by the school from the newest movies of St. Trinian's). She then went on to train with Mr. Midnite, along with three others, two of them including her first cursed and her archnemesis. Basically, Lyra starts out a villain, but spends what feels like three years in purgatory after remaining dead for three hours. She then receives the prophecy card, as well as a curse from Mr. Midnite's daughter, which she doesn't even fight to resist, for she feels guilty for all the pain she's caused. And that's all I'm sayin' for now.<br /><br />Movin' on.<br /><br />I watched many movies recently.<br /><br />Tron: Legacy<br /><br /><img src=http://www.disneydreaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Tron-Legacy-Poster.jpg><br />From http://www.disneydreaming.com/2010/09/15/new-tron-legacy-character-movie-posters/<br /><br />Oh my God. It was breathtaking. It was stunning and the music was so awesome. Despite receiving mediocre reviews, it was better than Avatar. And that's saying something, coming from me. The acting was much better than Avatar's (oh my God I actually saw <i>tears</i>). I have to make a special mention for Ms. Olivia Wilde, who basically made her character, Quorra, what she is. Olivia Wilde specifically did not want her character to be just another shallow action chick, so she gave interesting quirks to her character, and made her unique. I thought this was more original than Avatar, because it didn't rip off so blatantly (almost every movie 'rips off' something, but people who have the guts to call Avatar original despite the fact of how much it <i>doesn't</i> deviate from the basic storyline see something in the story that perhaps I'm missing). The story felt fresh. There were layers of story telling. Like, there was the basic story, but then there were different things (for lack of a better word) underneath. When interpreting this movie, you're not pulling shit out of your ass like I normally do for shallow movies (I am not talking about Avatar by the way) to be a smart ass (you know the whole "What if?" scheme). There are things put there that people can discuss. And yes. That's what all movie makers should do. The directors and the writers and the actors and everyone should do that. But lately, it's kind of hard to come by. So when they give this movie a 49%, and yet they celebrate the somewhat mediocre REMAKE (not sequel, like this) of, say, Karate Kid (I do like that movie by the way), by giving it more than Tron Legacy, it's insulting. And the whole debacle with the Golden Globes I don't feel like going into. This teaches me not to listen to the critics, but to what I think. So, if you have a chance to watch Tron: Legacy, WATCH IT. It's so awesome. Oh, and by the way, Jeff Bridges channeling 'The Dude' (from The Big Lebowski) is a bonus.<br /><br />Moving on.<br /><br />The Green Hornet<br /><br /><img src=http://blastr.com/assets_c/2010/10/GreenHornetPoster101510-thumb-550x815-49385.jpg><br />From http://blastr.com/2010/10/green-hornet-poster.php<br /><br />I watched this on Friday and I have mixed feelings about this movie. This movie was overall good, to me. However, there were some things that bothered me. I wish this movie was more like Kick-Ass. It blended comedy and action fairly well, with drama. This movie blended a little too much comedy with action and not enough drama. I mean the dude's father died, and when he found out the truth about it, he wasn't sad enough! There could have been so many different dramatic deviations pulled out of this and they didn't go with it! Also, I wanted to see if Seth Rogen could play someone different. Well, he can kind of. He still plays a bumbling dumbass for a lot of the movie, but his character Britt Reid takes a level in badass so he can kick some serious ass by the climax. I hated how they didn't highlight the fact that he can take some guys too earlier in the movie, because all his childhood he spent fighting kids. Where is the experience from that? Also, he felt heroic when he was a kid and he even remarks about it, but he doesn't feel the least bit heroic. That is my problem. I was rooting way more for Chudnofsky (the bad guy) and Kato. Reid was acting like too much of a jackass. Also, his character just seemed a little...one dimensional, until he takes a level badass. I just wish Seth Rogen got to flex his acting muscles (if there anymore) more. I loved the technology, a lot of the jokes were funny. Kato was just a Chinese ball of pure badass. And Cameron Diaz played a RATIONAL CHICK. Who is super smart. And (spoiler) doesn't get with any of the guys at the end. She's like "I'm not kissing you! And I'm not kissing you!" She's, like, the opposite of Bella Swan. The villain was like Hans Landa, except Hans Landa's comical side. It's like you can't take him seriously until he blows your head off. But then again, THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT. My consensus is, the first half to two thirds has good parts, but some bothersome parts too; the last half to two thirds is just pure badassery. Especially the climax. So maybe or maybe not see it in theaters, but if there's a sequel, it's probably gonna be better if they keeping going in the direction set by the climax.<br /><br />Movin' Oooooon!!!!<br /><br />Machete<br /><br /><img src=http://blog.80millionmoviesfree.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/machete_movie_poster.jpg><br />From http://blog.80millionmoviesfree.com/in-theaters/machete-movie-poster-2<br /><br />This movie is bloody disgusting, has gratuitous nudity, body parts flying everywhere a cellphone coming out of a place it never should have been in (thank God they don't actually show it), and an old guy making with women that are possibly young enough to be his granddaughters. AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!<br /><br />It's so violent, it doesn't hold back it just goes ALL OUT. It is purposefully shot like it was made in the 70's (yet we know it isn't actually in the 70's - the cellphones and the birthyear of Machete showing prominent). I like how it's not polished and shot modernly (is that even a word), otherwise it would have taken away from the feel of it. So if you don't like gorn or squick moments don't watch it (I can't watch some parts of the movie). But if you can get past that and see all the awesomeness of a shoot-em-up revenge flick, then you will enjoy the living awesome out of it.<br /><br />Now I know I mentioned a certain other movie in the title of this blog post, but I decided I am going to talk about it some other time, for there are so many things I could discuss about it, it's just too much for this blog post. However, with this movie, I have a newfound celebrity crush: Joseph Gordon-Levitt! He is such a cutie pie. He has sung Bad Romance and hosted an episode of SNL, among other things. So I leave you with several videos of his awesomeness (note: some of them are flipped to avoid being banned, according to the poster).

And to top that off...I have been feeling sick since around Thursday. I had to stay home from school today and now it's like 1:40 in the morning and I'm coughing so much, that I feel like I'm gonna throw up or crap. I drank warm milk with butter, warm milk with honey, chowed down on a bunch of cough drops, and drank awful tasting cough syrup. And it's not going away. <br /><br />Furthermore, I can't sleep too well and I've been having weird dreams because I saw Inception. I'm not watching that (even if it's good) for a long time. <br /><br />Speaking of Inception, there's a song in that movie. A famous French one. At first, I thought I only recognized it because Rammstein lifted some of the lyrics to use in an awesome song. The lyrics go something like this: "Oh non, non rien; Oh non, je ne regrette rien."<br /><br />Then they played it and I immediately recognized it. <br /><br />It's that extremely creepy French song from that extremely creepy scene in Babe: Pig In The City. <br /><br />That scene is probably why I'm not in a rush to watch that movie for a long time. All I remember is that someone died or something and there was chaos everywhere and I remembered it just scared the living shit out of me as a child. <br /><br />Don't judge. That movie was weird.<br /><br />Okay, I need to go back to sleep now. I have to wake up in a little more than 4 hours. Good night. Hopefully you're having a better time than I am.memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-42710570160215942352010-12-26T03:25:00.000-08:002010-12-26T04:50:04.141-08:00I had a really weird dream. It was awesome. Also, here's a fairytale.Okay, first off, my dream.<br /><br />Before this dream, I had another weird dream a few days ago, and I remembered it the whole day, but I didn't write it down or anything, so I forgot it.<br /><br />But this is about the weird dream I had tonight, and as a (sort of) bonus, I'll talk about another dream (or more) I had a few weeks ago. But first things first.<br /><br />Okay, so of course I was thinking about Tron. I was also kind of thinking about Warrior's Way (which I unfortunately heard was disappointing). I guess my subconscious merged the two thoughts together. There were other aspects of the dream, like my fear of not doing my homework on time (in a gym, which has been used in other dreams but as different rooms - more on that later). Okay so anyway, the dream started (?) with me (as me) talking about the different Tron things coming out. There was this Tron video game (which I constantly wished was a movie) called Symbol Warrior: (I don't remember the rest). My mind went into the video game I guess. It's like Tron, except with samurai swords and dragons (that looked strangely computerized) and the world had more slides or something. It was beautiful. Then the dream became more of a movie. It was kind of set in the video game, but my mind got sidetracked. It followed this girl and this warrior guy (who looked strangely like the warrior guy from Warrior's Way). She was about 13 or 14 with blonde hair and I'm not sure, but her name might have been Lexy (yeah, I will always spell Lexy with a y). They broke out of some prison or something to do with some company. The warrior I think was protecting this girl. They were running away from something. Then (as usual in my dreams) I became that girl (good thing her name was Lexy). I was running away and the warrior guy told us to split up. I kept thinking what if it's more dangerous like that? But I heard something like the people were on the other side where he went so I went to this chick's grandma's house. I could go into detail about that, but after that I woke up (at 11:19!!!). There was another side line about this guy tasked to blow up some base in Cuba and another in Rio de Janeiro, but I barely remember. There was probably so much to the dream, but I forgot. I just realized how much my dream reminds me of the show Nikita.<br /><br />I said that the gym was used as another room in another dream. I realized that several places in several dreams (I know this to be true) are reused, like several set pieces are reused (especially for tv shows).<br /><br />There were two more dreams I had over the past few weeks.<br /><br />One was really strange, like in some "dreamscape"*. It kinda reminded me of MirrorMask (oh, and any "dreamscape" I have is usually a desert). There were places in this desert that could appear out of thin air (they were being hidden by some sort of <a href=http://camphalfblood.wikia.com/wiki/The_Mist>mist</a>). Blue cylinder apartment buildings occupied by either humans or creatures (I think). Basically, each room was a cylinder laid on its side, and it was stacked near, below, or on top other cylinders. They looked like either blue glass or gargantuan hollowed out blue raspberry jolly ranchers. It was like some huge bee hive, except it was blue. There were other buildings too, but I can't remember most of them. I've forgotten most of the dream, but there were two aspects that stuck out the most. One, was that there were these "freedom fighters" or "terrorists" (depends whose side you were on) that were fighting for something, but I can't remember. All I know is I chose their side, but I kinda felt guilty, thinking "What would Dad think about this?". That was partially why I was on the run. So here's the next aspect I remember. I ran into another building that reminded me, oddly, of the Sherlock Holmes museum (I've been there) in London. But each building (or most) led to a different world (pre-established world). This one had doors that led to the world of Alice in Wonderland. I don't remember the other parts (what a shame), but I remember rabbits and other stuff.<br /><br />I could go into more dreams I had, but that is for another time.<br /><br />*Dreamscape: What I define as some ongoing landscape that has no end (kind of like in Tron that ground in their world that goes on forever) in a dream. All you see is horizon. There's usually some stray buildings or whatnot and it's usually never in full daylight (for me, anyway). My usual dreamscape is a desert with cloudy or dark-ish sky at or around sunset. I think it was inspired by (or I finally realized my dreamscape while looking at) Edgar Ende paintings. Also, some Salvador Dali paintings would count too.<br /><br />I just wish I could come up with as creative and original ideas, places, and stories for my fanfic while I'm awake as much as when I'm asleep.<br /><br />Now, on to my next fairytale:<br /><br />Red Riding Hood!<br /><br /><i>Little Red Riding Hood<br /><br /><img src=http://unrealitymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/little_red_riding_hood__color__by_jerrycai.jpg><br />From http://unrealitymag.com/index.php/2010/03/10/little-red-riding-hood-concept-art/<br /><br />Wolves and wind became your creed<br />As an attack, it was strange indeed<br />And whilst you could have been murdered<br />Something almost beautiful stopped it further<br /><br />Now an outcast, they will hunt you<br />But as an outcast, you cared not<br />Even if friends became enemies to you<br />You want to find the one who for you fought<br /><br />You still have a mission so clear<br />That is not for me to decide<br />This mission to your heart has always been near<br />No one can tell you to hide</i><br /><br />This is about an OC (original character) named Eleanor "Nelly" Linderman. She's mostly from Heroes (her father is Daniel Linderman), Indiana Jones (her brother-in-law is a descendant of Indiana Jones), and Iron Man (her former occupation). Come to think of it, I might throw the tv show Nikita into my world as well. Seems rather interesting... This character was lately inspired by The Wolfman (2010, even if it was mediocre). So yeah.<br /><br />I'm gonna go play COD:BO right now, so bye! :)memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-70795476532920347402010-12-25T04:12:00.000-08:002010-12-25T05:23:20.743-08:00Christmas and BeautyChristmas is today. Yay. I had fun; the day isn't over, so yeah. I'm about to play Call of Duty Black Ops (yesterday was a Christmas miracle - we finally were able to get rid of time limit in COD:BO Multiplayer. WOO!). I got pajamas (very cute frosty pink ones) from my mom Blondie, as well as chocolate (yum). I got an Eclipse poster (with the Cullen family - not too shabby) and cute socks from my brother Garg, and a $15 iTunes gift card from Tally. Some gifts are delayed from coming because of the oh-so-annoying snow storms in London (storms which never touched where I live - ARGH). So, if I didn't talk about a present, chances are I haven't received it yet. Two other things I got for Christmas (a third I got also for my b-day - Netflix!): Money and an Xbox Live Account. WHOO! Blondie also made French toast for all of us (I put Raspberry Jam on it, for we lacked syrup). So I must thank everyone for being so kind on Christmas! Hopefully no one is having a crappy one.<br /><br />And now for the next fairytale poem.<br /><br />Ms. Beauty.<br /><br /><i>Beauty<br /><br /><img src=http://www.logoi.com/pastimages/img/beauty_and_the_beast_3.jpg><br />From http://www.logoi.com/pastimages/beauty_and_the_beast.html<br /><br /><br />Curses cover the eyes<br />And fill the worlds with lies<br />All is not what it appears<br />And checkered hearts fill your fear<br /><br />Of a pure royal blood you are<br />‘Tis not tainted, but hidden<br />Strange hands hold the cards<br />Which could lead to the truth being risen<br /><br />Death saves you from an uncertain fate<br />But He can’t always protect you<br />Save those who are in your previous state<br />And Death’s curse can be broken through</i><br /><br />This is about an OC (original character) part time dancer/part time model named Amélie Dupont. Amélie's mainly from The Da Vinci Code, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones (kind of) and Death Proof. Da Vinci code, because of some certain relatives, Harry Potter because of some certain beast (NOT Sirius Black - an OC from Harry Potter), and Death Proof because of some certain friends. I don't feel like explaining the Indiana Jones aspect of it. Her adoptive family's kind of evil, and they want to control almost every aspect of her life. They are a part of some secret society (I'm still doing secret societies even if I watched the "Fantastic Easter Special" episode from South Park - LOL). Her family allows them to manipulate her and make her do what they want. She was touring the United States with a dance troupe when she made a break for it. She ran into some sort of beast (a hell hound, if you will), and that beast scared her pursuers. I got my inspiration for this character mostly from the character River from Firefly* and the Ballerina from Angel (both Joss Whedon characters portrayed by Summer Glau, oddly enough). Also, I've been reading conspiracy theory articles that give good ideas for stories (like celebrities that are manipulated by the elite). Do I believe the articles? Partially, but I don't know what to believe. But that's not important. Just citing inspirations for this character.<br /><br />So after that lengthy description of a strange character of many stories, I bid adieu for now as I work on the eighth chapter for Roses and Poetry, as well as various chapters for other stories as I await the Call of Duty Black Ops marathon to be had.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!<br /><br />*For that, in the poem, I was originally going to say "strange <b>blue</b> hands ("two by two, hands of blue..."), but that might be bordering on plagiarism.<br /><br />PS: Another Christmas miracle, this time at work, I want to speak about. I was packing groceries in a car for a customer. She was holding several bags and I was too. She wondered if she was holding everything, then she said she probably was, so I let go. But she wasn't holding the eggs. They were dropped on the ground. It sounded pretty bad. I picked them up and we both checked the eggs. Not one was broken. The customer exclaimed, "It's a Christmas miracle!" I was happy I didn't have to get a replacement. So yeah. Probably one of the first work stories shared on my blog.memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-21512711414977330532010-12-23T04:14:00.001-08:002010-12-23T04:14:39.082-08:00The Twins, Dear Beautiful Annie, and Procrastination<b>Note: This was actually posted on the 22nd, not the 23rd, of December.</b><br /><br />So here are the next fairytales, Snow White and Rose Red:<br /><br /><i>Snow White<br /><br /><img src=http://www.mykeamend.com/new/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/MYKE_AMEND_Snow_White_gallery.png><br />From http://www.mykeamend.com/new/products-page/all-products/snow-white-8x10-metallic-print/<br /><br /><br /><br />In the magical stories of old<br />‘Tis your stepmother full of spite<br />In your life, nice is she and extremely bold<br />‘Tis your aunt you may have to fight<br /><br />Your love truly is a prince<br />But not of this world his dominion is<br />He does not want to be a prince<br />Yet he means to make you his<br /><br />Half human only is he<br />He and dear Rose you must save<br />Your family might set you all free<br />Or your lives they may take</i><br /><br />This is talking about a character not my own, a young witch named Artemis Dubaer, or better known as Alexandra Fielding. She is from T*Witches (and I'm going by what I know of the books - NOT by the DCOM's). In this prophecy, her longtime boyfriend (from the books) Cade Wilson is actually a sort of prince. A prince of what, I shall not tell. The crazy aunt is an OC. I combined the two Snow Whites of the stories (as Fables did). "Rose" is referring to the next prophecy, Rose Red.<br /><br /><i>Rose Red<br /><br /><img src=http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b143/taeryunn/RoseRed.jpg?1291419987><br />From http://media.photobucket.com/image/rose%20red%20fairy%20tale/taeryunn/RoseRed.jpg<br /><br />You are enemies both not knowing<br />You fight with your faces unmasked<br />Masked you find your love more showing<br />But you face a difficult task<br /><br />You must let go of your enemy<br />And black hearts are of a danger more<br />His black heart is not much of a worry<br />But forget not this heart anymore<br /><br />Insanity might not run through your family<br />But secrets by them are always hidden<br />In plain sight, these secrets you will see<br />But of them, do not be ridden</i><br /><br />This prophecy is about Artemis's twin, Apolla Dubaer, or Camryn Barnes. She is also from T*Witches. <br /><br />Okay, so yeah. Obviously I haven't been on in almost a month. This is because I was being lazy.<br /><br />And here is a video shown to me by <a href=http://http://iizsewboard.blogspot.com/>Tally</a>, a familiar song (a favorite of mine) done in an interesting way by one of the world's most talented singers. Basically, here's "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" by Annie Lennox.<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZlsJD8RlhbI?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZlsJD8RlhbI?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />And that's all for now.memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-86054937740589325492010-11-25T16:40:00.000-08:002010-11-25T17:03:17.327-08:00A Moment of ReflectionOkay, this "reflection" idea was <I>kinda</I> taken from my <a href=http://www.lucrativepain.blogspot.com>mom</a>, from her post on Thanksgiving. Kinda.<br /><br />You see, I was watching Stargate, the original movie. I didn't finish it (I will tomorrow morning). I realized something strange. <br /><br />There are two main characters of the movie. One is the very blue eyed Kurt Russell and the other is a very geeky, slightly annoying, shaggy haired James Spader. <br /><br />I realized several things about these actors and their characters, O'Neil and Jackson. <br /><br />One: Kurt Russell had extremely blue eyes. This comes from my mouth just hours after I talk about the creepiness of Stuntman Mike. <br /><br />Two: James Spader is also in a Robert Rodriguez movie, as Kurt Russell is (Grindhouse, I believe). James, however, is in Shorts, as the main villain, who actually is somewhat cynical. <br /><br />Three: I find James Spader in Stargate (NOT IN SHORTS) somewhat... how do I put this without sounding strange? ... attractive. I most likely talking about his character. Maybe it's because I'm super tired right now and might regret saying this, but I found him somewhat attractive. Okay, so maybe his character is so stereotypical nerd, with the allergies and the glasses and the total smartassness and he's somewhat annoying. But his character is totally in to Ancient Egyptian culture, and I liked his shaggy hair (while a few hours ago, the whole family was bashing Tom Brady's shaggy hair while I liked it). His glasses put a nice touch. I don't know, maybe I'm super crazy, and I'm usually oblivious to total annoyance (I didn't mind Wesley from Star Trek Next Gen OR Jar Jar Binks), so maybe my view is biased. Is there something wrong with me? Why am I finding the one who is made to be unattractive attractive? Maybe there's nothing wrong with me. I've always been into nerds AND super hot guys. But if I ever find a hot nerd with a totally awesome personality, he's a keeper. <br /><br />And while I'm on the subject of whom I find attractive, let's get something clear. I'm mostly heterosexual. Mostly. When I say that, it means I'm looking for a man. I'm mostly attracted to men. But I'm not against falling in love with a chick. If I do so, I do so. Like, I totally would date Christina Hendricks. I totally have a crush on her, as much as I have a crush on some guy celebrities. So, I'm looking for a man, but I'm not closing my mind, you know?<br /><br />So yeah. Reflections on (a little past) Turkey Day. Good night.memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-36958292869880281402010-11-25T08:33:00.000-08:002010-11-25T14:30:14.173-08:00Turkey Day, The Fairy, The Ocean Darling, and A Psychotic StuntmanFirst of all, I'd like to say Happy Turkey Day. It's awesome and stuff. I want to say Happy Thanksgiving to all of my family, friends, and others who I may hold dear. Tonight was full of food and will be full of movies (or <a href=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111282/combined>one</a>, to be exact). I played Rock Band and watched a little of football and got to relax. So yeah. Hopefully, you had as nice of a time as I had.<br /><br />I'd also like to say that I purposefully skipped Tuesday's post so I could bring a double post for Thanksgiving, but I'm not that clever to think of something on purpose.<br /><br />Okay so, since it <span style="font-style:italic;">is</span> a double post, that means two fairytales instead of one will be posted here.<br /><br />The first, that of Tinkerbell:<br /><br /><i>Tinkerbell:<br /><br /><img src=http://www2.ambientdesign.com/gallery/files/1/0/2/2/6/tinkerbell_original.jpg><br />From http://www2.ambientdesign.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=8947<br /><br />As for many, oddity will change your course<br />The oddity of one chance encounter<br />Angels and Demons shall come with full force<br />Emerald envy follows soon after<br /><br />The Scribe of God will come to your rescue<br />And the Son of the Devil shall attempt to end<br />Your death may or may not ensue<br />But you will know if it has happened<br /><br />For they are not after you<br />They are after a holy child<br />Protect her with all the strength in you<br />Or for a good future ‘tis may be a while</i><br /><br />This one is about an OC named Delilah Greene. She is mostly Heroes (DEFINITELY - she's the cousin of a real character on her dad's side), Iron Man (she's the niece of a certain billionaire on her mom's side), The Airhead Trilogy by Meg Cabot (she's the niece of a guy named <i>Robert Stark</i>; I took this idea from my sister, <a href=http://iizsewboard.blogspot.com/>Tally</a>), and Angels and Demons Movieverse (do not ask - this is probably the main one). She is a cheerleader who happens to be smarter than everyone - including herself - gives credit for. She is a total bitch until someone tries to murder her. Who? You'll totally have to find out. Out of all the stories of the fairytales, this is the one I have most developed.<br /><br />Here is the next fairytale:<br /><br /><i>Ariel<br /><br /><img src=http://www.prlog.org/10409723-the-little-mermaid-by-christian-birmingham.jpg><br />From http://www.prlog.org/10409723-the-little-mermaid-selling-exhibition-of-original-illustrations-by-christian-birmingham.html<br /><br /><br />Of two worlds you come from<br />One is of a white palace, a ruling elite<br />The other is a pearly kingdom in the sea <br />Submerged, not touching the world above<br /><br />And a Painter in which you fall in love<br />Jovian worlds and the reality he painted of<br />Flames and tears were what his future showed<br />And ‘tis so awful what his fate hath become<br /><br />But hope comes in Resurrection<br />And your tears are no more<br />Escape is not a righteous option<br />You both must face the world</i><br /><br />This speaks of a 24-yr-old OC named Francesca "Nessie" Cappola. She's mostly from Heroes, National Treasure 2 (her dad's the president), and Percy Jackson and the Olympians (her mom's Amphitrite). She has a somewhat crazy brother named Theodore (who happens to be the Mad Hatter of a certain someone else's story) and several snobby half siblings. Oddly enough, she and her brother were raised by their mother, who took a few years off of a godly existence because these were the first children she had had in many years, and she didn't want them to grow up in a bad environment (Poseidon was not too happy...). But she went back to her palace in the sea after they grew up and she visits them periodically. What a nice immortal mother!<br /><br />And you're wondering about the Psychotic Stuntman? Well, let me tell you about a little movie called <i>Death Proof</i>...<br /><br /><img src=http://www.motionpictureart.com/store/files/images/PostersLarge/GrindHouseDeathProofMoviePosterDutchBelgian.jpg><br /><br /><b>Beware: Here Be Some (Maybe)Spoilers</b><br /><br />Shot in a grainy 70's style, this Tarantino-directed flick is a type of movie I don't normally see. The film follows two groups of good-looking young women in two different states, both groups the targets of a crazy stuntman known as Stuntman Mike, portrayed by Kurt Russell (I will NEVER look at him the same way again). It features a lot of blood, f-bombs, some drugs, a lap dance (and yes, it's involving Kurt Russell), an eighteen minute (I didn't count myself) car chase, a lot of feet (Stuntman Mike himself had a foot fetish) and just some serious badassness (and just some plain creepy-ness). I think the first half of the movie just showcases Stuntman Mike's insane ways, as well as the ignorance of young women and people (especially drunk) in general. However, the second half shows just how much even insane people can get themselves fucked over (yeah you're crying now Stuntman Mike!). Overall, I liked the movie. I think if the first half was too slow, it's worth waiting for the duel. Maybe it was a little slow 'cause I watched the extended edition...<br /><br />Anywho, that's my Turkey Day blog post. Imma go take a shower and watch me another *shudder* Kurt Russell movie (just kidding dude - I know you're awesome!).

Can you guess which one this is? Well, if you've read the title, then you already know who this is: Rapunzel!<br /><br /><i>Rapunzel<br /><br /><img src=http://www.artistsuk.co.uk/acatalog/Rapunzel_Alex_Dawe.jpg><br />Picture from artistsuk.co.uk<br /><br /><br />The tales told of your long hair<br />Of a prince who asked to climb up<br />In your distressful story, however,<br />‘Twill be a ninja to help you up<br /><br />It was a grudge from so long ago<br />In the middle of an undead desert<br />That your troubles began to show<br />But the ninja’s past will as well hurt<br /><br />You must join together with equal force<br />To save those you both love<br />You both must take the same course<br />For they will come from above</i><br /><br />This little poem is about an OC named Marigold Marston (yeah descendant of <a href=http://www.geeks.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/RedDeadRedemptionLogo.jpg>that Marston</a>). She's mostly from RDR (with Undead Nightmare continuity) and F&F (kinda). She also has a little of PJ&TO storyline. Yep. Rapunzel runs in with ninjas. This was kind of inspired by a trailer of a movie with a cheesy title: The Warrior's Way.

This one alludes to not an OC, but Natalia Romanova of Iron Man fame (Black Widow anyone?). I'm not sure where this one is going, but I like it. In fact, because of this one, I'm probably gonna rewrite at least two of them since they're not...real, they feel fake. Well, at least one of them does. They could be better.<br /><br />Aaaaaand moving on.<br /><br />Okay so today I watched Charlie Bartlett, a movie with two of my favorite actors in it (Anton Yelchin and Robert Downey Jr). So here is what I think.<br /><br />Charlie Bartlett (<b>WARNING! HERE BE SPOILERS!</b>)<br /><br /><img src=http://www.impawards.com/2008/posters/charlie_bartlett_ver4.jpg><br /><br />Okay so basically this movie is about a kid named Charlie (Anton Yelchin) who is the spawn of a somewhat crazy rich mother. He has been kicked out a lot of private schools, so he goes to a public school for a change. At first, he's bullied. But then, he becomes a somewhat psychiatrist as well as provider of prescription drugs and suddenly becomes extremely popular. All the while he falls for a girl (Kat Dennings) who happens to be the daughter of a somewhat alcoholic principal (ROBERT DOWNEY JR, BIZNITCHES!!!!). <br /><br />I loved it. I love how they balance comedy and drama. It feels almost real, and I say almost, because high school is almost never fully portrayed accurately in Hollywood. But many of the situations felt real, and the acting didn't feel forced. It came naturally. Anton Yelchin is a natural, as well as RDJ. It's great to see the chemistry between these two. Like in this one scene: (<b>MAJOR SPOILER</b>) Charlie goes to the principal's house (this is near the end of the movie) to ask the now former Principal Gardner to see if he wanted to see his daughter in a play, and Charlie finds the front door open and he finds Susan's (that's the chick's name) dad with alcohol in one hand and he simply stated, "What is it this time Charles?" or something along the lines of that. I don't want to give the rest away, but it involves RDJ, a pool, Anton Yelchin, a bottle of scotch, and... a revolver.(<b>END MAJOR SPOILER</b>) Yeah. AWESOME CHEMISTRY.<br /><br />I know I can't explain it that well, so you'd have to see the awesomeness that is this movie to know for yourself.<br /><br />On the side note: I just watched SATC2 - Okay, a little unbelievable, not nearly as bad as the reviewers were making it out to be (for a chick flick).<br /><br />I have to go to bed before I'm caught up so, good night!memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-19761714816877117452010-11-13T07:22:00.000-08:002010-11-13T08:31:59.261-08:00Cyberspace, Sleeping Beauty, and BirthmasFirst off, I know I forgot to post a fairytale "prophecy" yesterday (I promised to on Tuesday; read <a href=http://boredomshouldntbeaproblem.blogspot.com/2010/11/fairytales.html>the last post</a> if you're confused), so here it is:<br /><br /><i>Sleeping Beauty<br /><br /><img src=http://courseblogs.atlhub.net/gsutherland/files/2010/05/BurneJonesSleepingBeauty.jpg><br /><br />You fell into a dark sleep<br />Your world was too much to take<br />The pain of the butterflies, too much to keep<br />Away from them, you then became awake<br /><br />In your dream you find truth<br />This dream is your true making<br />But you must fully wake from your half-truth<br />Bring the two truths together in your waking<br /><br />When you fully wake, you will find power<br />And an ally you will find of time and dreaming<br />Help will come from both in truth’s darkest hour<br />Save those from the Shadow ever scheming</i><br /><br />This is about an OC named Alicia Kowalski, mostly from Heroes and Superman Returns.<br /><br />Aaaaaaand moving on.<br /><br />So, I actually got an AWESOME birthmas present (both for my b-day and Christmas): a Netflix account! My <a href=http://www.lucrativepain.blogspot.com/>mom</a> is the one who got one for me! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! My first movie got sent out: Charlie Bartlett. <a href=http://shadowphantomangel.blogspot.com/>Tally's</a> movie that got sent out is Friday Night Lights. OMFG IT HAS GARRETT HEDLUND!!!!!<br /><br />Which brings me to my next subject...<br /><br />Tron Muthaf**kin Legacy.<br /><br />This movie looks so awesome, I can't describe it (Tally is extremely excited for this movie as well). We're probably going to see it for our birthday - in IMAX 3D. Oh yeah! I would love to see Garrett Hedlund's face that close... But of course that's not the only thing! Here is the official final trailer:<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pIwXwVJZ3BY?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pIwXwVJZ3BY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Here is a music video done by Daft Punk (they did the music for the movie!):<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lk6pNcLDL_I?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lk6pNcLDL_I?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />OMG I CAN'T WAIT!!!!<br /><br />Forgive me for my excessive Caps-lock-ing... I just can't help it!<br /><br />And finally, I've been listening to the new Linkin Park cd (A Thousand Suns) and most of it is made of win and weird! Part of it sounds like strange ballad-y almost generic but totally awesome rock. But a lot of it sounds robotic, and has kind of a weird rhythm and it is almost steam punk and I would totally use it for Tron Legacy. The only thing I don't like about this CD is the last track.memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-12813544197805925982010-11-09T12:22:00.000-08:002010-11-09T14:35:45.400-08:00Fairytales and RecommendationsOkay so yeah, as some people know, I write fanfic. And I usually get carried away with back stories and characters rather than main plot. Well, these do have a lot to do with plot, but as usual, instead of writing the story, I write little "prophecies." Have no idea what I am talking about? Well you're about to.<br /><br />Basically, in my fanfic, I linked many different fairytales with different characters within my huge crossover universe. Most of them are OC's. They each receive "Fairytale Cards" telling some sort of "prophecy", correlating with their lives. And every Tuesday and Friday, I will publish one of these "prophecies" until all eighteen of them are run through. So... here's one of them:<br /><br />Alice<br /><br /><img src=http://www.logoi.com/pastimages/img/alice_in_wonderland_2.jpg><br /><br /><i>Your elder of only a few older than thou<br />Shall teach the true art of your mother<br />By the bow they all are bound<br />To the cards, bound is your elder’s brother<br /><br />The answers are hidden in plain sight<br />In Disturbia some may be<br />In Wonderland they hold light<br />Look to this place and of seven and twenty<br /><br />Follow the white rabbit playing a strange game<br />Your Mad Hatter is in the prison full of lies<br />It is you both that your captors try to tame<br />Do not follow them or the butterflies</i><br /><br />This tells of an OC named Veronika Dodson. She's mostly in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians universe and a little bit of Heroes.<br />So tell me what you think!<br /><br />And moving on.<br /><br />I have been wanting to see obscure, underrated movies. Two, actually. It's furthers my argument on why I should get Netflix.<br /><br />Here are the trailers:<br /><br />Charlie Bartlett:<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WAKEKxS-I64?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WAKEKxS-I64?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />This movie looks hilarious! Two of my favorite actors with witty banter and so full of humor - perfect! And yes, that's RDJ as a principal.<br /><br />Ordinary People:<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rtiV2GLE5JY?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rtiV2GLE5JY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Yes I'm aware that this is depressing and that it was released all the way back in (le gasp!) 1980. But this looks like a movie I really need to see, much like Girl Interrupted.<br /><br />And so that is all... for now.memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-23226584389560174062010-10-20T15:42:00.000-07:002010-10-20T15:48:14.378-07:00This song was on my mind...<a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFM0pUn4dcA&ob=av2n>Kingdom of Rust</a> by Doves. I LOVE this song; something about is so sad and so beautiful... very nostalgic in a strange way. As some may have heard, I first heard this while watching Zombieland (it IS in the movie). Well, the URL for the page containing the video is there, if you wanna watch it, since I couldn't find any official video with the embedding. I do this because the official video adds to the feeling of the song, and furthers the proof that this is a total road trip song for when you're looking out the window, with everything flying by. Just watch it, and you might know what I mean, you might not.memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-77321304268888991452010-10-19T12:26:00.000-07:002010-10-19T13:25:13.713-07:00Talent is Often Overshadowed By Events So Horrible and Words So Disgusting<img src=http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Taylor+Momsen+Macy+Material+Girl+Collection+1JMQiXZjPMtl.jpg><br /><br />First off, WOW. I didn't know a girl about my age could sing like that, nevertheless a girl from Gossip Girl and of a rock band. Yes, this girl's name is Taylor Momsen (Cindy Lou Who! Also, the rest of the band is awesome from what I've heard as well).<br /> <br />And now for a song from this band, The Pretty Reckless. This song's seriously emo, but TOTALLY awesome. It's called "Make Me Wanna Die" from the Kick Ass Movie soundtrack (I KNOW!!!). Just watch this weird video:<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/txBfhpm1jI0?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/txBfhpm1jI0?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Yeah, I know, kind of risqué, but who cares? <br /><br />Now I know many opinions of this girl are awful. But what's awful is no one gives the music attention, just her "tasteless" words. Now I don't agree with everything she's said or says, but seriously. I've heard way worse words. And so what if she wears too much eyeshadow or eyeliner, or if she dresses "like a hooker"? She's only 17! Calm the fuck down! Seriously! She's outspoken. She dresses differently. She actually <span style="font-style:italic;">is</span> edgy, unlike Miley Cyrus, who just tries too hard. So, people (and by people, I mostly mean E!Network*), get over it.<br /><br /><img src=http://www.denimology.com/2009/07/lindsay_lohan_fornarina_fall2010_SG1.jpg><br /><br />Another poor soul who is victim to the venom of words is poor Lindsay Lohan. She is an amazing actress. She's extremely talented. And she's kind of a drunkard. Yeah, she's going to rehab to the fifth time, but that's mostly accredited to her parents and to the people who won't leave her alone. I know she has to take responsibility for her actions, but no one will give her the room to actually get better. It's so annoying. Do I think she'll survive. If she's a strong soul, yeah. She has a lot of friends, contrary to popular belief, that actually care for her. She'll probably pull a Britney Spears on us while Hollywood and tabloids pick their next victim.<br /><br />However, in light of tomorrow (I shall wear purple), I have to shed light another matter, a rather similar matter.<br /><br /><i><a href=http://www.silverevilchaoblog.blogspot.com/>Some</a></i> of us are aware of a recent surge of suicides due to bullying. A rather recent victim happened a young man named Tyler Clementi.<br /><br /><img src=http://www.hia-yehyazakaria.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/4373f_Tyler-Clementi-300x225.jpg><br /><br />Now I read a special article on bullying from People Magazine in light of these recent events. Comments were made by several people who knew him. They said he was a shy guy, but whenever he played the violin, he came alive. Something just bothered me about that. Why did he have to commit suicide? He could've turned to his violin for inspiration instead of listening to words and actions of hate. And it makes me think... What would've happened if he hadn't committed suicide? If he brushed it off? If they never hurt him? I don't know why, but it's like I feel his pain or something and it hurts me that he turned to such a drastic measure. I just hope his pain has ended, I hope he's in a happier place, and I hope he knows now more people will be saved from such measures because of the awareness his situation brought to it. I hope he knows, that even if I never knew him, and I'm taking a cue from V for Vendetta, that I love him, that people love him and will remember.<br /><br />So, I guess in conclusion, talent is overshadowed by events so horrible. For instance, so many great talents have succumbed to death in sadness and insomnia, and maybe a little bit of drugs for some (Tyler Clementi, and more famous ones, such as Marilyn Monroe, River Phoenix, Heath Ledger, Brittany Murphy, and many, many others...). Others are subject to words so awful, like Taylor Momsen, Lindsay Lohan, and the bullied victims mentioned in the article (many of which overcome those words of hate, I am happy to report). Basically, death is rampant in another blog post of mine... I hope this doesn't pass through people's ears, only to be forgotten. I hope I don't forget. <br /><br />Well, I'll wear purple tomorrow. In Honor of the suicide victims.memory_lucky12http://www.blogger.com/profile/14358776550015372357noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078848659149252545.post-24224203167378266132010-10-10T09:56:00.000-07:002010-10-10T11:35:26.376-07:00I don't think I can do it.Or maybe I can...<br /><br />I might have to.<br /><br />I'm gonna have to take Colin Firth seriously if I am to take The King's Speech seriously.
