Inspiration and pissing me off this is.
This is, of course, about Twilight.
It was a specific topic on a board on Twilight Sucks.
It's called "Twilight to have been an action film?". 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:
Bella would have been more badass.
There would have been a Korean FBI Agent looking for vampires.
There would have been a SWAT vampire hunting team.
More boys. More action.
Ummmmm.... SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!
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.
Well read the whole excerpt from the board. It's sad.

Some Blog Fodder about Our Favorite Villain
Overheard while talking about Loki...
"Stay away from Loki! He's mine."
*Death Stare*
"Or maybe we could share..."
*Maniacal Laughter*
"Not at the same time!"
And as heard sprinkled in other conversations...
"LOKI! WITH LONGER HAIR!!! RAWR"
As for which should be and probably will be better...
TDKR
or...
Avengers
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.
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).

My View On Remakes Today
It's summed up pretty much on the Footloose remake board of IMDb.
Here are two replies to two posts on that board.
Here's the original post and a response (not my response):
I'M PUTTING SPACE HERE SO IT DOESN'T GO INTO THE SIDEBAR... THIS IS QUITE UNFORTUNATE...
LALALALALA I'M CLICHEKILLER12
THIS IS SO AWESOME SO MUCH SPACE FOR SO LITTLE STUFF!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAY
I IZ SO MATURE
DISCLAIMER: I HAD A POSITIVE OUTLOOK ON REMAKES WHEN POSTING THESE; I MOSTLY STAND BY WHAT I SAY, HOWEVER, SOME DEPENDS ON MY HURRICANE OF A MOOD YAAAAAAAY
Here's my response to those:
And here's the original post of another thread and my response to that:
Just so you know, I'm clichekiller12.
And there is partially my outlook on remakes; well, the more positive form of that, because sometimes, I can be very bitter about them.

Dirty Dancing...
THE REMAKE!?
At first when I heard of this, I was like, "Ah, hell 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 this badass mofo), and Jerry Orbach (who I first knew as Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast - yeah that one).
And then I heard that this guy was directing it, I was like, "Ah, fuck no!"
But then I read this article.
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 fucking epic (except for the two other suggestions for Johnny), especially when he mentions Garrett Hedlund. The fact that he loves this guy keeps me from completely hating him.
So, anyway, Mr. Casablanca suggested Garrett Hedlund as one of the choices for Johnny Castle. Um, sign me up!
I would totally 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!
Also, a note that my twin pointed out, before we go on to the main subject of this post:
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.
Okay, so anyway, that Ted Casablanca article got me thinking:
What are some good choices for the characters?
And, well, because no one demanded it, here are my choices for the different characters:
Johnny Castle
Choice Number One:
Garrett Hedlund
My reasoning: This picture, and see above.
Choice Number Two:
Chris Hemsworth
My reasoning: He's a fantastic actor, tall, muscular, deep voice... oh and this:
Yeah. He can fucking dance. 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.
Frances "Baby" Houseman
I happen to have, like, five choices for this role:
Choice One:
Emily Browning
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.
Choice Two:
Selena Gomez
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.
Choice Three:
AnnaSophia Robb
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.
Choice Four:
Ellen Page
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.
Choice Five:
Elle Fanning (if the movie were delayed for a couple of years)
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, at the age of thirteen. So, please, if this movie could be delayed, cast her!
Other Suggestions:
Mia Wasikowska
Chelsea Kane
Vanessa Hudgens
Emmy Rossum
Dr. Jake Houseman
Four Choices:
Gary Oldman
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.
Hugh Laurie
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.
Kevin Bacon
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.
Robert Downey Jr.
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?
Other Suggestions:
Liev Schreiber
Hugo Weaving
Christoph Waltz
Max Kellerman
Alec Baldwin
He's a smarmy, tough businessman. Who else but Alec Baldwin could play him?
Another suggestion:
Tim Robbins
Penny Johnson
She's the former girlfriend, yet still bff of Johnny Castle. Also, she's the original dance partner.
Two Choices:
Yaya Dacosta
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.
Abbie Cornish
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.
Other Suggestions:
Olivia Wilde
Summer Glau
Rashida Jones
Jena Malone
Lisa Houseman
Two choices:
Kat Dennings
Snarky, yet sort of understanding. This is Kat Dennings' role in most of her movies. Plus, she's a looker.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
She's beautiful, yet can play snarky. Just see her in Live Free or Die Hard.
Other Suggestions:
Natalia Tena
Lea Michele
Brie Larson
Lindsay Lohan
Marjorie Houseman
Dana Delany
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.
Another suggestion:
Lauren Graham
Neil Kellerman
Basically the "other guy".
Two Choices:
Johnny Simmons
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!
Nicholas Hoult
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.
Another suggestion:
Max Irons
Robbie Gould
The not-so-loveable asshole womanizer. Aka, Mr. Douchenozzle.
Two Choices:
Shia Labeouf
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 never beat up Johnny, just as you could never, ever beat up Tom Hardy.
Cam Gigandet
He plays a total douche in Never Back Down, and he's more of a believable womanizer than Shia Labeouf.
Another suggestion:
Mark Salling
And that's the end of my long, long blog post. Any other suggestions or comments, well, comment!

I iz so sad
I watched a review of Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon (or as Silver calls it, Bayformers 3: Turn Off the Moon), and it had, like, all the spoilers.
And here's what I gotta say (Warning: Here be Spoilers, and Cursing (OOOooooo)):
WHY MICHAEL BAY OH DEAR GOD WHY YOU SON OF A BITCH!?!?!?!?!?
Why give god like powers to an entitled jackass (Todd In The Shadow's words) like Sam Witwicky (apparently, I heard Shia Lebeouf is just playing himself) and make him kill STARSCREAM... ALL BY HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????????
What. The. HELL?
Why give Megan Fox a big MIDDLE FINGER throughout the whole movie?
Why get someone who's NOT HUMAN to play Sam's OMG new girlfriend?
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU KILL IRONHIDE THE AWESOME??????
WHY MAKE IT 500,000,000 HOURS LONG!?!?!?
WHY MAKE MEGATRON SOMEONE ELSE'S BITCH AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!?
WHY MAKE THE MOVIE ABOUT THE FUCKING PEOPLE INSTEAD ABOUT THE FUCKING ROBOTS!?!?!?!? ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
FUCK YOU MICHAEL BAY!
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.
The only silver lining I can see from this is that they plan to do new Transformers movies - without Michael Bay. DD Angel said that Hollywood should take note: Only reboot movies and franchises that need 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 in the same fucking movie. I know.
Awesome.

Happy Birthday!, A Hot Villain (Surprise, right?), and a SUCKER PUNCH
Happy Birthday to my Dad, the "Spy" (he's in the USAF). He's 42 (OMG he's so old :D). I sent him a Princess Kitty E-Card. It totally fits him (;p).
(from amysuenathan.com)
A SPY!
Also, my twin and I are fangirls of an actor; specifically, a character he plays.
Loki, as portrayed by Tom Hiddleston.
(from sexandvillainy.livejournal.com)
GORGEOUS!!!!
The character is the villain in the movie Thor (2011), but a total woobie, even if he did (kinda) support genocide. But I don't think he's beyond redemption.
CUE SIGYN FANFICTION!!! (Sigyn was Loki's wife in Norse mythology).
I haven't read any, but I'm working on a (kind of) fanfiction of the sort, in which a young witch is (kind of) being stalked by Loki. She's also revealed early on to be the granddaughter of Babydoll from Sucker Punch. It's better than it sounds...
Speaking of Sucker Punch...

I own it. Because it's awesome.
I originally had a review for this, but something went wrong with the posting and it has been erased. I don't feel like rewriting it, because already I don't remember it.
So, that's all for now.

A SPY!
Also, my twin and I are fangirls of an actor; specifically, a character he plays.
Loki, as portrayed by Tom Hiddleston.
(from sexandvillainy.livejournal.com)
GORGEOUS!!!!
The character is the villain in the movie Thor (2011), but a total woobie, even if he did (kinda) support genocide. But I don't think he's beyond redemption.
CUE SIGYN FANFICTION!!! (Sigyn was Loki's wife in Norse mythology).
I haven't read any, but I'm working on a (kind of) fanfiction of the sort, in which a young witch is (kind of) being stalked by Loki. She's also revealed early on to be the granddaughter of Babydoll from Sucker Punch. It's better than it sounds...

I used to hate...
...Ted Casablanca, from E! Online. He is a rabid RPattz fanboy, says RPattz is hotter than Daniel Craig, among other things.
But I have forgiven him. You know why?
He's exactly like me! You know how?
Two posts changed my mind, and then another made me love this guy even more:
One...
Two...
KAPOW!
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!).
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.
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"!

I 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.
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.
Speaking of awesome movies, here are some movies I REALLY am looking forward to:
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).
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.
There are many other movies I'm looking forward to - even HP7pt2, even if that trailer is hilarious as hell ("NO!" X 7).
Well that's it for now. This was going to be an April post, but it's May. Whatevs.
PS: Is it just me, or is Michael Fassbender (Magneto) hot? RAWR.
PSS: This just said it was May 1, but now April 30 it says. Whatevs, this was posted in MAY.

Programs and Stuff about Computers and an Electronic Theme Blog Post (Which this is)
If you're still wondering on two things:
I don't have internet (STILL)
and
I'm still not done with the Fairytale Poems (Procrastination)
The one I wanted to share today is Goldilocks
Now since this is a "Computer Themed (Sorta) Blog Post", this is the perfect poem to share. How? Read:
Goldilocks:
From http://www.free-stories.net/fairy-tales/goldilocks-and-the-three-bears.html
In a world known to few
It seems all so brand new
In the theme of electric and lights
Someone close to you will for them fight
And fight you will have to
For their safety is your concern
Three Challenges you will go through
And three Warriors to discern
First, a Bulwark to break through
Then an Evacuation you must defend
Lastly the three warriors shall face you
Only one will guide you to the end
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.
Speaking of Tron...
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.
MAJOR SPOILERS:
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):
Now I have to get back to homework.

The Thief's Other Half, The Legacy of Awesome, The Genre Savvy Man (Somewhat), The Revenge-Bound Mexican and The Dream World With No Limitations
First off the fairytale:
Maid Marian
From http://www.bbc.co.uk/nottingham/content/image_galleries/robin_hood_tv_gallery.shtml?8
Your royal blood might be your undoing
Or it shall be your making
Those you love you are losing
Their lives are up for the taking
You struggle to find them
Look for guidance at the centre
The darkness you should not condemn
Answers and allies you will find there
Find the bow that binds you
Strike swift and silent
And may the truth forever find you
Perhaps the curse karma brought will relent
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.
Movin' on.
I watched many movies recently.
Tron: Legacy
From http://www.disneydreaming.com/2010/09/15/new-tron-legacy-character-movie-posters/
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 tears). 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 doesn't 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.
Moving on.
The Green Hornet
From http://blastr.com/2010/10/green-hornet-poster.php
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.
Movin' Oooooon!!!!
Machete
From http://blog.80millionmoviesfree.com/in-theaters/machete-movie-poster-2
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!!!!!!
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.
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). Enjoy!

I feel like crap. 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.
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.
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."
Then they played it and I immediately recognized it.
It's that extremely creepy French song from that extremely creepy scene in Babe: Pig In The City.
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.
Don't judge. That movie was weird.
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.
