2010-09-14T22:37:00.002-04:00

Pretty boring few days theres nothing much 2 talk about really. Went home 4 the weekend 2 start over annnddd well i did nothing. Father went 2 san francisco 4 business so it was just mi madre Honey and me. We watched MacGruber but mother thought it was 2 stupid 4 her taste. Got my last paycheck from the pool 2 =( that job was pretty fun it was so frickin easy. I'll let go that i got an 8 dollar check 1 time.

So I'm psyched about this movie me and Angie r gonna make! It's a depressing yet artsy nuanced and emotional 2-4 minute movie about a young man contemplating if she should live or die. Lets pray it goes good. These Bolex cameras r tricky tricky tricky. Filming starts next tuesday. God i just remembered we need 2 make a storyboard. HA! I'm prepared. T-Lights is terrific so far. Just got back from a long long meeting. We're watching Paranormal Activity next meeting and IM BRINGING IT! I feel so good. We need 2 try and communicate with the Temple students more so i recommended that we perform an exorcism in front of a large crowd in the SAC. There mite b some consequences though. We're gonna try and talk about more stuff than ghosts ex. aliens fairies demons doppelgangers. Not sure about cryptozoology like yeti bigfoot mothman AHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH.

So im kinda freaking out cuz i haven't needed 2 stress out yet with my classes =/ i haven't had 2 write an essay or study 4 a quiz/test/midterm or n e thing and I HATE THIS ANTICIPATION. Well i guess i'll stress out a bit about the movie soon.

Wow this is a really boring post lmao.

2010-09-09T22:38:00.003-04:00

Well 2day sucked cock. I can't write 4 the Temple newspaper n e more. Well i can but i dont want 2 now. I went 2 the meeting 2day and i asked them i was like "Hey ok so all Im really very interested in (meaning all i want 2 do bcuz im not really a journalist) is being the movie critic guy of the paper and writing only movie reviews/articles anything related 2 movies in theaters right now." They reply "Sry we dont have a movies in theaters article movie critic section of the Temple Newspaper." So i wont b able 2 write movie reviews/similar articles 4 the paper bcuz they don't allow that. So this dream of mine that i've held 4 so long is impossible now. And 4 fucks sake i had 2 go through all this hiring direct deposit authorization crap 2 get this job that they told me would b ok 4 me and now i cant do it. I told them in the e-mail if it was ok if it was possible 4 me 2 ONLY BE JUST THE MOVIE CRITIC guy 4 the paper and they said it was fine. So they lied in my face in other words. Words cannot express how unbelievably pissed off and sad i am right now. This is terrible. And i was so excited 4 this. I was already planning 2 go 2 the movies this weekend and write another movie review but now theres no point bcuz the newspaper wont publish it bcuz they dont do that. This is bullshit. Bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit (and i typed that in a British accent).

Goddammit what a crappy week. This is the time when i just need 2 go home and start over 4 the next week. If matt and wawrence r reading this and u guyz were still thinking of cumming 2 philly this weekend im sry i cant hangies but if you've been reading my blogs and this 1 in particular u can c how unhappy i am this week. My classes suck and now i cant write 4 the paper even though i went through a 3 day process of getting hired (my father had 2 drive 30-40 minutes 2 temple JUST 2 drop off my passport and social security number card in order 4 me 2 get hired cuz i never brought them 2 school). Sorry pops, it was all 4 nothing. I wrote that review of The Last Exorcism (which despite the overuse of 2 many adjectives i didnt think it was that bad) ALLLLLLL 44444 NOTHINGGGG. Well 4 my tumblr account at least which i'll still use i guess even though i have 1 follower (i think its wawrence i 4get).

N e way god i feel like i just had sex with Debbie Downer on a positive note I just finished Saw VI a moment ago. Now im prepared 4 saw VII 3-D. Yep im now a saw fan. I never hated the movies. The 1st 1 i really enjoyed 4 its originality (even though Cary Elwes has the worst and most painfully awkward American accent of all time). The rest r just pretty preposterous thats all. But they're damn entertaining preposterous movies that u really get in2. Yes yes i feel like a killer when i watch them cuz they r sooooooooooooooo damn gross but u no what? It's all totally fake. The guts the screaming the gore the violence the torture pornography. Just go with it and you'll have a fun time. None of its real obviously. It's cool that now i can say that i've seen Saw I, II, III, IV, V, and VI. Haha its really funny actually.

Blahhhhhh i cant stop thinking about the newspaper. Believe me the next time i run in2 a temple newspaper im gonna rip it up and scream I THROW MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR SOMETIMES GALILEO!!!!! GOTTA LET GO!!!!

R u f***ing kidding me?

2010-09-08T21:35:00.004-04:00

Ehhhhhh a little upset right now. Im starting 2 not enjoy my film history class and i am super pissed about it cuz i love film history. The class just isn't well organized exactly. All we do every class is watch movies and then we're asked what our instant reactions r 2 what we've just watched and then, we, well, watch another movie and do the exact same thing again and again and again and again and again. Don't get me wrong i love watching these old movies they're fascinating 2 watch except im not learning n e thing. The teacher also asks us 2 read 40 pages in our textbooks each week but we never really talk about what we've just read. THERE IS SO MUCH INFO SHOVED UP OUR ASSES IN THESE TEXTBOOKS AND I DONT NO WHAT IM SUPPOSED 2 B TAKING NOTES ON! ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!! When our midterm comes up Im not gonna have a clue what 2 study. He has a powerpoint except he goes 2 fast in class so i cant copy the notes fast enough and also he goes through each slide in about 10 seconds which is no time at all cuz he writes a shitload. God this is annoying. The 1 class im so looking forward 2 and its not even very good. Im just not learning history here. Im learning about what other people think about the movies we have just watched. THAT IS NOT LEARNING. These students r not film professors with P.H.D.'s or whatever.

I had this teacher 4 my film class last year 2 and he did the exact same problem; not teach history or facts just show movies and then ask us what our opinions r. I just want this 2 change it cant go on like this. When our midterm and even worse our final comes up soon I am gonna have absolutely no fucking idea what 2 study. What am i supposed 2 take notes on the 5982340598273045978 pages we're supposed 2 read in our textbooks (also i never mentioned it but these textbooks r huge and the writing is size 1 font).

Blahh i hate getting stressed out. The midterm and final aren't 4 a while so i guess i shouldnt b stressing as much. But still this is annoying the hell out of me. A good thing 2 talk about 2 is my astronomy class. I mean its pretty difficult and when our 1st midterm comes up Im gonna have 2 make a pretty intense study guide except it wont b as hard bcuz there r detailed notes that the professor provides us with and he doesn't make us read 28442 pages a week in the textbook. There4 i have a completely easy understanding of what im gonna need 2 no 4 the midterm. But film history? NO IDEA. Blahahahahahahahahahah.

Its annoying 2 cuz i was continue with Film History II next semester but i dont think i can now. The teacher's teaching ability just isn't compatible 4 me.

French is fine. I have no problem whatsoever with the class. However im terrified 2 even touch the bolex cameras in filmmaking and oh yeah, Mosaics sucks 2 =D Yep. Im not enjoying my schedule that much this semester. I cant b upset about mosaics and astronomy though. Mosaics i have 2 take 2 graduate and astronomy is 1 of the only 2 science classes that im interested in taking this year (need 2 take 2 sciences 2 graduate as well). I read and read and read and analyzed all the science options but positively none of them interested me except 4 astronomy and this other class called Evolutions and Extinctions and its all about the dinosaurs and eras/epochs and geology and shit which i really like.

Erghhhh this just really stinks though. Last 2 semesters were awesome. Sure religion sucked and i complained and whined all the time about it on this blog except my art history class and my intro to film and video analysis class were 2 of my favorite classes i've ever taken in my 19 years of existence. My theater class rocked 2 last semester. So much fun. And my media and culture class was pretty fun as well; it was nice going in2 the city every wednesday frustrating at times but overall pretty fun.

Goddammit y does film history have 2 b disappointing?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ERGHHHHHHHH. Im going home this weekend 2 c my mom (shes been in england 4 my grandad's funeral) and also 2 pick up some stuff 4 college that i 4got (namely my digital recorder). I think i'll feel better if i get my anger out on my parents about how unbelievably pissed off i am that film history is a disappointing course.

Good and bad day. Temple Newspaper woman told me that we were gonna have a meeting today at 5:30 in the SAC but then no1 showed up. I waited 4 half an hour and then just left. URHGHHHHGGG. Just got an e-mail telling me 2day that the meetings have been changed 2 thursdays @ 5:30. Of course i just had 2 find that out 2day. I really hope that my The Last Exorcism review gets in the paper if it doesnt its not the end of the world i no but still i worked on that review all last night. I dont wanna just keep it in my tumblr account 4 fun dumbass!

N e way then i went 2 the 1st T-Lights meeting of the year and it wassss soooooo great. I really missed every1. So pumped 4 the new investigations. EASTERN STATE BITCH! Well hopefully if we get enough money. I left my digital recorder @ home though by accident and i need that 4 the meeting cuz there r still recordings from when we went 2 fort mifflin on there. But now i dont no when im going home 4 the weekend! This week or next week. Next week i might go 2 nyc though 2 visit the sis and her new apartment. But then i need 2 make a movie 4 my filmmaking class and i wont b able 2 make it on the 25th cuz i have insomnia. I wonder what kind of movie its gonna b. Well im making it with a partner and it has 2 b really short so it wont b huge. I really might give up filmmaking this year. I'll keep my film major obviously but i will keep my concentration in film studies and not film studies AND filmmaking combined. Im just 2 new with filmmaking. I'll give it more of a shot this year but if im still making shitty movies then i'll stop. I just dont think its much of a passion 4 me. Ok and i just blogged about this already so idk y im doing it again. Im sry ppl if im being boring sometimes i just force what i wanna post about im sry.

Ughhhh i love going 2 the gym. Went 4 the 1st time 2day in monthhsssssss. God it feels good getting a workout. It's like having premarital sex or doing pot or getting drunk except its totally legal =D; 1 of life's benefits. Did that 4 the whole afternoon. Of course right after my workout i went 2 the SAC (or the scrotum, as Hillary calls it (the SAC is the Student Center on campus fyi)) and bought chinese food and seriously got 25 pieces of teriyaki orange chicken AND I JUST HAD 2 EAT ALL OF IT. Then i felt nauseous again and reconsidered going back 2 the gym but i think it was closed cuz of labor day. Then I went and bought milk and came back 2 find my bread moldy. Terrific. AND I JUST HAD A PB AND J SANDWICH 2DAY. That made me wanna turn 2 bulimia. I'm officially re-obsessed with Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook again. I have this routine: play 50 games of it and listen 2 iTunes music at the same time. The first song MUST b Love the Way You Lie or else i wont play bejeweled. Of course i cant concentrate though when i do that cuz then my thoughts of megan fox distract me severely when i play. Then I imagine that Chris Brown and Eminem r gonna storm in my room and whack me and then i really really get a low score.

U no that was a really nice weekend? Friday night kinda sucked but then it got better. Im starting 2 miss Honey Bun though and media already and all u pretty guys of course. Im actually getting really really psyched 4 all the shows 2 begin: Glee, The Office, 30 Rock, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. No more Lost =,( thats actually really sad i've been watching that show since 8th grade (my most favorite year of school =D =D =D!!!!) Hopefully glee won't get suckier like it started 2 late last season (even though the finale redeemed the show a bit). If something goes wrong with Finn and Rachel's relationship im gonna spit on their graves. And if Will ever tries 2 act creepy and awkward and annoying again im gonna do something else on his grave. Man that sounded a little 2 harsh. I didnt mean that. They're just characters. Hopefully hopefully hopefully the office'll get a little bit better. Ok im being really boring now im gonna go.

P.S. that's really me in the picture.

First movie review

2010-09-06T22:40:00.003-04:00

Just tweeted this now 2. I've just posted my first official movie review 2 my tumblr account. It's The Last Exorcism and hopefully i'll b able 2 put this review in the temple newspaper soon =)

Franzia box wiiiiinnneeeeee

2010-09-05T23:32:00.003-04:00

Crazy few days with classes and all. My film history class is awesome so far (knock wood); very very interesting. Right now we're in the silent era (obviously cuz its the start of the course) and we're watching Lumiere actualites and Edwin S. Porter and Georges Melies short silent films. And we're watching Thomas Edison shorts. They're fascinating 2 watch. Back then there was no dialogue, black and white, and lovely content depicting the everyday life. Nowadays there's blue 3-D Na'vi people, Pierce Brosnan singing in Mamma Mia, and Sharon Stone's vagina. It's crazy how the years have gone by. Astronomy's still interesting but a little difficult. Ugh we have 2 midterms how fucked up is that? Two!!!! So annoying. French is great 2 except i 4get everything which kinda sucks. Have a quiz on Tuesday on le present, l'infinitiv and l'imperatif. Can't wait 2 get 2 le condittionel, le subjonctiv and dont. Im thinking of perhaps dropping my filmmaking concentration in my film major and just stick 2 film studies. If i make bad movies this semester then i might do that. So effing excited 2 work with the bolex cameras though (terrified 2 though cuz u can't edit on these cameras or rewind footage. There4 if u fuck up, u fuck up good like an old woman bending down 2 pick up a penny tails up on a New York City highway). NO CLASSES 2MRRW! Sleeping in baby and going 2 the gym 4 the first time in months. I feel like i have a jay baruchel body right now (she's out of my league). Im pretty proud of it though. I'd still like some muscle though so that i won't lose my virginity when im 73 years old.

Kinda worried about writing 4 the newspaper right now; hope it doesn't stress me out. Just saw the last exorcism yesterday so i'll write a review on that. Watched bits of Machete online 2day 2. Lindsay Lohan? Not bad in it. Not very ugly either actually quite attractive. She's naked when she's in her scenes 2. Couldn't tell online but i think her hair is covering her freckled Parent Trap watermelons. The Parent Trap has been on ABC Family a lot lately just fyi.

I swear 2 god when im @ temple i have the weirdest dreams. Last nite i dreamt that i had a little blonde brother and i saved him from drowning in a puddle of water. I loved the dream cuz i was a hero and i felt like Peter Parker. Dreamt last week 2 that me and matt toal were hanging out and we came across an art museum but the door was open and some1 had broken in and then we ran into Fran Drescher and she was a cop and then she fainted and thennnnnnnnnnn i dont remember the rest of the dream. It's buried deep in my subconscious (like INCEPTION!!!). Frickin love that movie.

Did homework all day 2day. Woke up @ noon. Ate chicken wings, lasagna, caesar salad, toasted poppyseed bagel with butter, a slice of cake, an oatmeal creme pie, a water, and an apple juice 4 dinner. DID I DO THATTTT?????????

Hecticness is paranoia is wtf is what the hell am i talking about?

2010-09-01T21:00:00.004-04:00

Man what a hectic last hour. I filled out these forms online 2 officially get paid 4 writing 4 the newspaper and it asked 4 my account numba and routing numba, but, uhh, I DONT HAVE N E CHECKS ON ME!!!!!!!! So i tried calling my dad approximately 37 times in a matter of 15 minutes but he still wouldn't pick up. He finally did though but when he did hillary and annie called 2 cum over and c my apartment so it was sooooooo crazy. I thought that next the Commies were gonna bomb the world, HA! Classes were great 2day. Looking forward 2 film history more. Still worried about the teacher (i had him already 4 a previous class last semester and he s'd d). Class seems super super super interesting though. Astronomy was still interesting and organized 2. Filmmaking looks good so far 2 of course. My god i hope i make better movies this year. I really think i've learned all my mistakes and now i think im ready 2 really start over and make better movies. Hopefully im not that loser naive filmmaker n e more. God let me just say that that was HUMILIATING last year. That's also partially y i hated temple last year first semester. So embarrassing. Even the teachers laughed @ me (in their heads, of course. I dont have ESPN but im pretty sure they were.). No class till 12:30 2mrrw (same as Tuesday's schedule). Once i go 2 human resources on campus and finalize some forms i'll officially b hired 2 write 4 the newspaper =D so nervous excited. OK WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED LAST YEAR WITH THIS.

(the first week of freshman year)
ME: "Hi can i write 4 the newspaper possibly? I'm new but I'd love 2 do it!"
MYSTERIOUS E-MAIL WOMAN WHOM I DON'T REMEMBER NAME OF: "Sure! And u get paid 4 it!"
ME: "Awesome thank u so what should i no? When and who do I send my articles 2?"
MYSTERIOUS WOMAN:

(a few days later)
ME: "Awesome thank u so what should i no? When and who do I send my articles 2?"
MYSTERIOUS WOMAN:

(a week later)
ME: Hello?
MYSTERIOUS WOMAN:

Well look who's gonna b writing now byotch! BITCH SLAP BAMMM!!!!

BREAKING NEWS. PLEASE READ

2010-08-31T20:26:00.002-04:00

What's the breaking news? I'm going 2 go 2 the theater department 2mrrw and drop my minor and class i need 2 take this semester. I've been feeling weird the past few days and i thought it was just cuz of the big move-in and new classes and all but it really isn't its just that i've been reconsidering if i really really need 2 minor in it or not. I honestly don't need 2. I'm forcing it. Yesterday i went 2 sign up 4 auditions 4 this new temple play debuting in mid-november but i never went. I just didn't care. I was supposed 2 audition @ 6 o'clock. Yet when 5:30 came i still just wasn't feeling it. I just don't really care n e more about being in a big Temple production n e more. I'd rather just b in small theater clubs like Insomnia Theater or Temple Smash (which is this awesome SNL-like show that's recorded and then put online paralleling Hulu.com). I'll always love acting i no that but minoring in theater or trying 2 always b on the big stage @ temple isn't necessary 4 me i just dont need 2 do it i'm forcing it like a cow trying 2 fuck another cow. And im mainly forcing it cuz all the film department heads ever tell me is that film majors have a hard time trying 2 find work after graduation so i immediately went in my head "OMG!!! I NEED A BACK-UP PLAN NOW!!!!!!!!" Of course its not like its harder getting a job in theater than film obviously *snort*snort*snort.

Now of course i gotta go 2 the temple theater department and talk with them and blahhhhhhh i hardly have n e time 2 do it 2mrrw. When i declared my theater minor i had 2 wait in line 4 40 minutes. Luckily i only have 1 theater class this whole semester and its on fridays from 1-1:50 so HOPEFULLY i wont need 2 take it by this friday cuz i'll have already dropped the minor and thus the course. This is just 2 much 4 me. I'm in the theater club, the paranormal club, and i'm hopefully gonna act 4 temple smash and write 4 the school newspaper (apparently i already have the job and have my first meeting next tuesday b4 T-Lights except i'm still not on the paycheck list yet. Yeah thats right. U get paid 4 writing 4 the paper HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?!?!?!?!).

I hope im making the right decision. I no i keep repeating this again and again but i just dont need 2 minor in it it's good enough that im already minoring in french i don't need a second 1 my dad explained 2 me 2 just now on my cell that its enough already that i'll b in 2 theater clubs 2 show job people after i graduate. O goddammit i dont wanna graduate college yet. DEAR GOD PLEASE MAKE COLLEGE GO SLOW DO NOT SPEED UP LIKE A CHEETAH.

J and H

2010-08-30T21:27:00.003-04:00

Well compared 2 this pic from last year when i was living in Johnson and Hardwick u can tell that EJ's a lot bigger @ least. 2 b honest i love EJ and J and H equally. EJ's great cuz its bigger, haunted, and close 2 the supermarket and the movie theater and the gym and the subway 2 center city and all but come on J and H was also great not that it was just a tiny pathetic dorm but bcuz the cafeteria was right below it and it was right on campus so it was so much easier and less strenuous 2 get 2 class. EJ's not that far really it just feels that way when u have 2 walk 2 campus in scorching heat that makes u feel like ur Reese Witherspoon in that 1993 desert Africa movie.

New place

2010-08-30T21:25:00.002-04:00

Wow so i've never done this b4 but here's a pic of me in the new place. U can't c n e of the inside @ all pretty much so the purpose of me taking this picture makes no sense @ all by the way but still i just love using PhotoBooth on my Mac.

I also look like a midget moron but i always do in my pics.

Blahhh.

2010-08-30T21:06:00.003-04:00

Wow so today sucked cock without a doubt. ONLY 1 CLASS ALL DAY. 10-10:50 in the morning. Astronomy. Every Monday. Its great yeah but 2 b honest, it's, well, not great. Im an antsy kid i need 2 have at least 2 classes each day. Wait. Ok no i take that back. Having 1 class every monday is fine except i wish that it wasn't at 10 AM cuz if it was in the early or late afternoon then i'd b able 2 leave home monday morning if i ever went home 4 the weekend. Blahh thats annoying. The class seems cool though i mean hard heck yeah (its physics. Of course its gonna b like an erect penis) but still interesting. Learned about zeniths, horizons, celestial spheres, celestial equators, north and soul celestial poles and ecliptic stuff 2day. Kinda can't understand the teacher cuz he's arab and he's got an accent like a slut-bag Borat/Bruno wannabe but if i just get a seat up front every class then i'll b fine. The class seems very nicely organized which is what i like. Except, well, 1 thing sucks.....MY FINAL IS ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 17th @ 8 AM. Erghhhh goddamit 2 Lucifer and Jesus combined like a roast beef turkey with nachos. Last school year my final final was on the tuesday of finals weekend and it rocked so much. Of course what doesnt suck though is my paper 4 the class which only has 2 b 2 pages apparently. Except i think my teacher was joking. Shit. He betta b joking or im gonna bust out my guns. It'd b really cool if we could just fly in2 space whenver we wanted 2. Hillary and Annie could buy an apartment on Saturn and Katie and Rianna could rent a house on 1 of the volcanoes of Jupiter (wait did i just get those 2 mixed up? Which 1 has the ring around it? God im gonna fail this class). I could have shitty movie tuesdays on Uranus and we could watch Showgirls all the time cuz, well, the planet is Uranus and Showgirls is full of naked women and women have anuses so it's a great match =) Perhaps on Neptune we could watch Cabin Fever 2. PANCAKES!!!T()&Q@#P(%&Q@#)(%*WQ)*R)QWE %Q(U@#%()*

Omg omg! I 4got 2 post that i just had a floor meeting in the basement of Elmira Jeffries and apparently the basement used 2 b the morgue when the place was a nursery home =O so creepy!!!!! I do wanna go in the basement more though cuz there's a cute gym down there and i think every monday after astronomy i'll work out and try and get a josh duhamel body. Then i can go and date a bisexual woman who, like, dated a stripper once or something like that.

College!.....what now?

2010-08-29T18:52:00.003-04:00

Wow what a long boring day. Went 2 the student activity center and got more of my school books and then just came back anndddddddd well, WAITED 4 2MRRW!!! Well i did shower. Ran in2 hillary outside moving in and hung out with her late afternoon 2. Watching the pre-emmy's show now. God i still cant believe im back @ school. Slept terribly last nite. My god im gonna b honest elmira jeffries is awesome but its pretty creepy 2. Used 2 b a nursery home =O HAUNTED. Slept by myself last nite (roomie with gf) and i seriously was pretty freaked out. This place gives me the chills. I LOVE IT!!! Finally im living in a haunted place! Now now i might b wrong hopefully the building is haunted BUT my room isn't cuz that shit'll stink. I NEED SLEEP. Remember what happened 4 the 1st 2 weeks of freshman year @ temple?! Yea. That better not happen again. I don't want an old person ghost shaking my bed exorcist style. My god im bored. Once classes start it'll get better. Im just not used 2 this new lifestyle. Wow this is a boring post ok im gonna go.

Blahhhhhhhhhh i need a routine right now. And Gick I hope ur having fun @ the breakfast school with ur pizza major and salad minor!

Sophomore year!!!

2010-08-28T19:32:00.003-04:00

Wow! Im back guyz!!! It's been forever (nearly 2 and a half months!)! Or i think. Idk im not a gymnast I can't do mathematics. I gave blogging a break for the summer when freshman year ended. Man i had a busy summer. 2 jobs! Senior week! Mother going 2 the hospital! Palm Springs! England! Paxil withdrawal symptons every day that make me feel like im having the worst hangover of my life! No no summer was fine there were a few ehh and iffs and fuckkkkk but i made a lot of money with my 2 jobs (well 1 of my jobs was only 4 may, june, and august but stillll u nooooooooooo. Wow im hyper right now. So happy 2 b back!!! I was so nervous @ first i thought i was gonna create chocolate in my pants. Elmira Jeffries surprisingly is great. The apartment is fucking huge!!!!! Jesus christ almighty on shitty bricks. Got up @ 8ish this morning and left. Had 2 say goodbye 2 honey bun =,( ehh its ok though i can cum home whenever i want. Also had 2 say goodbye 2 the parents =D hahaha no im jk. Its time 2 start school again summa is over i just have 2 keep thinking that. Man its weird being here. Summer was very long of course but it still feels like yesterday it was early may and i was moving out of johnson and hardwick. So weird. Best part of the day was hanging up all my posters. Inception (effing huge poster!!!! Jamie got it 4 me from work), Megan Fox, Watchmen, truffle shuffle from The Goonies, Pulp Fiction, Jonah Hex (FREE POSTER FROM JAMIE AGAIN I DID NOT BUY IT THAT MOVIE I KNOW IS SUPPOSED 2 B TERRIBLE. Plus Megan's in it so i mean of course its necessary that i have it =)) and small posters of A Serious Man, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Across the Universe and A Clockwork Orange. Ugh it looks so good. Bad news is that I JUST BLOCKED THE TOILET. AND WE DON'T HAVE A PLUNGER SO I HAVE 2 GO BUY 1. Shittttttt (pun intended). Classes start in 2 days =O worried now if im gonna reenter Senior Year of Penncrest where my hair blew up electrocuted every day cuz i was so stressed. Filmmaking, film history, astronomy, theater, french, and this english/philosophy class r my classes. Friday will seriously suck cock but there's nothing i can do about it (4 classes from 10-4:50 all day =O). Alrighty that's enough 4 2nite. Gotta go unblock a toilet now.

AND I AM GETTING BACK IN2 MY TWITTER NOW SO EVERY1 FOLLOW ME AGAIN. Im also setting up my tumblr account but its only 4 movie reviews (which i no u guyz wont read) but im doing it cuz i wanna get famous like julie powell of julie & julia.

Remakes galore

Speaking of remakes do u guyz no that they're remaking the 1982 haunted house classic Poltergeist? It's set 2 come out in 2011 and is directed by Vadim Perelman who made the amazing House of Sand and Fog (2003) with Jennifer Connelly and Ben Kingsley and the so-so The Life Before Her Eyes (2007) with Uma Thurman and Evan Rachel Wood (UGH DO NOT READ THE BOOK VERSION BY LAURA KASISCHKE! I WARN U!!!!). That'll b fun 2 c. The 2008 Swedish awesome vampire film Let the Right One In is coming out again with a remake this october i believe with Chloe Grace Moretz (Hit-Girl) and it's called Let Me In this time and its directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield). Richard Jenkins also stars in it (the dad from Step Brothers). I just saw on IMDB that apparently they're remaking the clown horror stephen king made-4-tv mini-series It? God dammit that movie (which was like 5 hours long) scared the bejesus out of me. I HATE CLOWNS. Also i believe The Evil Dead and Child's Play (a.k.a. the movie about the killer doll, Chucky) r getting remade 2. Also Scream 4 comes out next year and they just put the poster online the other day!!!! Cannot wait 4 the trailer.

O and i also just found out that they're remaking John Carpenter's aaaawwwweeesssooommeeely cool sci-fi horror thriller The Thing. Seriously that movie is spectacular i love it.

Princess Mononoke

2010-05-07T19:28:00.003-04:00

Watched yet another Hayao Miyazaki anime film last night. It's called Princess Mononoke and it came out in 1997. It was the usual Miyazaki animation-extravaganza film and the storyline was very unique and clever 4 an animated film but MY GOD i had trouble understanding it. I don't even no how 2 describe the plotline there's this villager and he gets infected with a demon's curse when it invades his village so he has 2 try and find the forest spirit 2 ask how 2 stop the demon's infective spread in his body. And samurais yet involved and my god it was pretty gory and violent 4 a miyazaki film and surprisingly it was PG-13 (there r like dismemberments and slicing off of body parts in the movie and i no its animated but still i gasped out loud). It's definitely not a kid's movie like Ponyo. Still i enjoyed it though i just wish i understood parts of it more. Voice talents include Billy Crudup, Claire Danes, Billy Bob Thornton, Minnie Driver, and Jada Pinkett Smith.

A Nightmare on Elm Street

2010-05-07T19:12:00.003-04:00

I also finally saw A Nightmare on Elm Street the other day 2. Ok so obviously it sucked compared 2 the classic Wes Craven 1984 shocker with Johnny Depp (in his 1st role) but idk i always admire these bad horror remakes. I hate 2 say it cuz really all of them (Halloween (2007), Friday the 13th (2009), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), and im not gonna say The Omen (2006) cuz i actually thought it was a much-better-than-usual horror remake than the others. Sadly the majority of critics didn't agree with me) suck compared 2 their originals. I just enjoy these remakes nonetheless cuz i think it's cool seeing them re-imagined 2 the 21st century standards. They're gorier and even though they all lack the real creepy depth of their originals that made them so classic they're still filled with tons of energy and thrills and guts and entertainment value (and, like, seriously painfully gorgeous women 2). I particularly liked the script setup of the new A Nightmare on Elm Street i thought it was quite unpredictable and well-done. It did suck though that the intoxicating Katie Cassidy, whose looked at as being the protagonist in all the trailers and tv spots of the movie, is actually only in the movie 4 like 10 mins-wait, SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT i think u no what im gonna say. There's also this new girl in the movie named Rooney Mara in real life and my god i thought she was very attractive 2 but in an unusual way. She's that "there's something about her" girl that i find really hot. My god i really wanna c Rooney in more movies yummy. The movie was mainly a disappointment in that (and i said it above) it just lacked the creepy depth that made the original so good. The original had the creepy music and atmosphere that was so legendary. The remake is totally lacking that. Also believe me the original might b campy but it still scares me. Robert Englund's portrayal of Freddy Krueger absolutely terrified me the 1st time i saw it (wow i think that was in like 2004 or something how the years have passed). Jackie Earle Haley (i always say it but he was Rorschach in Watchmen) does a mediocre job of playing Krueger i mean i dont wanna criticize him cuz he does try his best in the movie but he just doesn't succeed @ all compared 2 Englund. Englund had soooooooooooooooo much more humor and i hate 2 say it cuz he's an evil killer but bad-assness in the original. Haley is missing it a lot. Also the ppl i saw it with thought that the movie was 2 unintentionally funny. I do agree that there r quite a few funny moments in the movie that i dont think were meant 2 b funny but i can't criticize the movie 4 that cuz trust me THE ORIGINAL IS EVEN FUNNIER. Katie Nolen knows what im talking about the campiness of the original makes it such a legendary horror classic and if they're gonna remake it then, well, is it terrible 2 keep in the campy humor?

So i'll end off by saying that yes yes yes this remake isn't @ all good compared 2 the original and i can understand y 99 % of critics hate it (especially Ebert man he ripped it 2 shreds). But it's still fun seeing these horror remakes re-imagined. I mean hell i get such a kick out of them (hell i own Halloween, Halloween II, Friday the 13th, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Omen remakes on DVD i know they're flawed but they're so entertaining).

MacGruber

2010-05-07T19:08:00.003-04:00

I saw an early screening of MacGruber the other day, set 2 hit theaters in 2 weeks from now. IT WAS HILARIOUS. Seriously so far the funniest movie of 2010. Every1 must c it it was hysterical. Surprisingly i didnt think i was gonna like it that much cuz i've never watched the SNL skits with Will Forte and Kristen Wiig but i really want 2 now. Forte really is a riot in the movie i hope he's in more movies where he has a bigger role from now on. Wiig also stars in it with Ryan Phillippe, Val Kilmer, and Maya Rudolph. It's a dirty movie of course and also pretty damn violent 2 but dont wry the violence is completely stylized and fake. C IT C IT C IT C IT C IT when it comes out =D

2010-05-07T18:55:00.002-04:00

Wow what a long week. Took 2 finals 2day, art history and film. Yesterday i finally took my religion final 2. Ladies and gentleman, i am officially done with what i believe 2 b the worst class i have ever taken in my entire 19 years of existence.

Seriously had the greatest dream of all time last night and it involved u no who...and it involved u no what....yummy

EERHGGGGGGGGGAFDHPQAEFJWPASDJF

2010-05-03T14:17:00.005-04:00

This is already becoming the slowest week of the goddamn year 2. I SERIOUSLY CANNOT CONTAIN THIS ANTICIPATION N E MORE. It's only Monday but yet it feels like it's been the same week of may 4 93246598276987523982736 years. I miss everybody so much =( just this morning i went through all the funny pics of us all me gick natie wawrence jake sarah carina dog anners hillary jess jess dakota megan kristen the whole 9 yards. I really miss Honey 2 =,( and i also got mad that Katie's dog Sophia Jane wont let me come near her =,(

(*and no that pic @ the top really isn't Honey i just googled cocker spaniel).

The flaws of Temple film

2010-05-03T14:05:00.003-04:00

Y r there so many dushbag film majors @ temple? That's the only thing i dont like about the film department @ temple: the number of dushbag film major undergrads. Not all of them r dushbags of course but there sure as hell r a lot of them. They think that they are the greatest filmmakers in the world and if they dont like a movie that i or n e other naive filmmaker makes then they shove it in ur face like a hot dog in a donut hole. God i cant stand temple university undergraduate dushbag film majors. The only other thing that i lately haven't liked about temple is that they never seem 2 like fiction movies that us students make. All they ever ever ever ever ever seem 2 admire is experimental films (a.k.a. artsy films that make no sense and 99.9% of them dont have a narrative). Positively only experimental student-made films get in2 the diamond screen festival i feel like hardly ever narrative-made films do. Sry temple but unfortunately i dont do experimental films i like watching them but i cant make them my movies need 2 have a narrative 4 christ's sake. They never tell us that its true but it sure as hell is true cuz positively all we ever watch as examples in my film classes is experimental films. IT IS SO ANNOYING AND RIDICULOUS. Is there a law that all student-made college films need 2 b fucking experimental? We're aspiring filmmakers we can make whatever the hell we want.

Thank God it was just a dream. Too bad reality right now isn't

2010-05-02T23:24:00.003-04:00

My God this is gonna b a hellish week. It already started last night when i went 2 bed. I had a horrific night terror that I made a move on Katie Cassidy and then she rejected me and got mad @ me and it was sooooooooo horrible. I woke up in a serious bad mood. Then 4 half the day I started working on my religion study guide 4 the final bcuz our pathetic dumbass 90 year old teacher hasn't taught us n e thing and when he went over the review with us he spoke 2 fast so i couldn't catch what he was saying. There4 the whole entire day I've had 2 internet search all these important religious terms that I was supposed 2 learn in an unsloppy, organized manner in class but instead i learned low-class premium bull shit. From 2 PM-10:30 PM I worked on this study guide and so help me god if i dont ace this final i will without a doubt becoming a pagan iconoclastic satanist. Still need 2 revise an essay by wednesday. Religion finals on thursday. Art history and film finals on friday. Saturday i move out!!! And then on monday i got my theater and media/culture except 1s online and the other 1 is in center city from 5:30-8:30. FUCK ME SATAN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Just dont scratch me like u did 2 mia farrow in rosemary's baby cuz i dont like getting scratched. No im totally jk being a paranormal investigator i really shouldn't say that im just joking. Do u guyz no that there's a Delaware County paranormal investigation group 2? I really really really wanna join it, maybe this summer. I've been reading all their info on their website 4 the last half hour and it looks like such a cool group. Saturday night me and T-Lights we all did a quick investigation of the 5th floor of my dorm building cuz some weird stuff's been going on in 2 of the girl's rooms. Stuff keeps getting moved around and 1 of the residents apparently woke up in the middle of the night 2 the sound of someone trying 2 shut an aspirin bottle (u no how it makes that noise if u dont close it) so she turned around on her bed and an aspirin bottle was standing upright on her pillow right next 2 her face. The strange thing is mainly that it was standing completely upright (and obviously if ur gonna move around on ur bed then isn't the bottle gonna fall off the pillow and make more noise?) She checked if her roommate was pulling a joke or something but she was passed out on her bed. She picked up the aspirin bottle and put it back where it originally was. Yet when she tried getting back 2 sleep she could still hear the sound of the bottle cap being twisted. Very very strange. Even creepier is that she keeps having these weird dreams where a man is sitting on her roommate's chair across from her in the room. When she wakes up there is no1 there but according 2 her these repetitive dreams she keeps having feel extremely real. She got so freaked and weirded out by these things that she had 2 go 2 her RA and talk with her about it. And her RA called T-Lights!!! We did a little presentation in the basement of the building and talked with some kids that might b interested in joining the club and then we split up in2 2 groups and we all went 2 the 5th floor 2 c if n e thing would go on. We went with the EVP recorder and the K2 meter. The K2 meter did spike up once very quickly which was strange and although we haven't listened 2 the EVP's yet nothing much happened. Well what mainly sucked was that we weren't allowed 2 go inside these 2 rooms where unexplained stuff has been going on cuz of privacy reasons. I soon found out that 1 of my friends Caitlin lives in 1 of the rooms (sadly not the aspirin bottle room) and she told me that the main thing that bothers her is that her stuff keeps getting moved all around the room every day and her roommate says that its not her doing it. Really really creepy. We caught some of the most bone-chilling EVPS from Fort Mifflin though they were awesome (and we have a lot more audio 2 listen 2 that we haven't already 2 2mrrw!!!). Sadly it's our last meeting of the semester but next semester we get 2 go 2 Eastern State Penitentiary cuz we have more money so yayyyyyyyyy so excited now. Plus the dorm building im staying @ next semester is supposed 2 have some paranormal activity 2 so yippee!!!!! (and no im not being sarcastic).

And the pic @ the top I live in the left 1 where the haunted 5th floor is. What kinda creeped me out though is that i live on the 4th floor and on saturday night the roomie wasn't in =O fortunately i just watched Debbie Downer on Hulu and i wasn't scared n e more.

@%$!@_%@#(_!$()_@*

2010-04-30T13:59:00.003-04:00

O and yep. I suffered from some painful yet masochistically pleasurable epileptic seizures while watching the premiere Jonah Hex trailer yesterday. I kinda ruined the room cuz i kept getting thrown against the wall but luckily only blood got on my roomie's wall and not mine. I also strangely started reciting Satan's prayer a few times. Watch the trailer and you'll pretty much c y i nearly died (but in a good way) yesterday. The youtube link is my status on facebook.

Just 1 essay and 5 finals =/

2010-04-30T13:38:00.002-04:00

Well unfortunately High Masks didn't make the Diamond Screen Film Festival and didn't get n e nominations =,( its ok though i mean im only a freshman and actually i dont think that like n e other freshman films got accepted as well. Life is still good right now I got an A on my 9-page religion essay and i finally started and finished my art history essay on de Chirico and Nietzsche last evening. The roomie's back @ home so i got the room 2 myself (which means u no what i'll b doing every day...). I tried calling Media Parks and Recreation a while ago cuz in, like, late march they called me and said that they wanted 2 interview me in late april and they would let me no when 2 come in but of course just like every other goddamn workplace they haven't called me and ITS APRIL 30TH TODAY. They didn't pick up so i left a message. I can go home this weekend except i'll b by myself cuz my parents r in St. Barths! So effing jealous i hate them. 2 make it even worse they e-mailed me the other day asking how 2 say "we moved upstairs" in French so they could leave a note 4 the maid and I DIDNT NO HOW 2 SAY IT. I had 2 use wordreference.com just 2 find out what 2 move up means en francais (which is monter or @ least i think it is). So psyched i finally get 2 take it this fall =D but ugh right now i dont wanna take n e classes until september. ITS TIME 4 FRESHMAN YEAR 2 END I NEED 2 GO HOME AND LIVE MY SUMMER WITH MY FAMILY AND BFFS. It's almost done though. I just have 5 finals and then i need 2 revise my media and culture essay and THEN IM DONE. I'll officially b done on may 10th @ night :-) what im probs gonna miss about temple 4 the summer is the cafeteria bagels that i eat every morning with butter: THEY'RE ORGASMIC. Call me nasty but i bcome such a pig when i eat the bagels that i actually dip the bagel in the leftover butter on my plate and every1 looks @ me funnily. Like my post a few days ago im really gonna miss the SAC's Asian lo mein noodles and spicy chicken. Most of all i'll probs miss the delicious peanut butter nutella and banana crepes @ the Temple creperie (though that does cost money and i cant use my ID card which kinda blows. Still its worth it eating a Temple University crepe is like soaring over Abu Dabi on top of a flying velociraptor).

O yea and i have another thing 2 say this summer can we all go 2 the aquarium please? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE? Maybe if we're lucky we'll get 2 watch an orca whale kill its trainer =D no im totally jk but still it'll b so much fun i haven't been 2 the aquarium in over 8 years AND IM DYING 2 GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. I lied. A Prairie Home Companion, Punch-Drunk Love, and Transamerica

2010-04-28T23:33:00.002-04:00

Yep. I lied about my post when i said i wasn't gonna buy n e more movies and I WAS OFFICIALLY DONE. C'mon u didnt actually think i was gonna not buy n e more movies until school's over did u? DUMBASS! No im jk i really thought i was done buying movies until i started getting in2 3 particular movies: A Prairie Home Companion (2006), Punch-Drunk Love (2002), and Transamerica (2005). Bought 'em all 2day @ fye b4 my night class 4 a good price.

Alrighty A Prairie Home Companion. Believe me absolutely none of u guyz would like this movie BCUZ IT IS VERY VERY SLOW. Hell when i saw it in 9th grade i had 2 stop watching it. However i didnt no as much about critiquing movies back then though as i do now. NOW I LOVE THE MOVIE. I know it's slow but theres something about it thats so terrifically whimsical, wonderful, and gentle and soft. There's a huge cast in it 2. Woody Harrelson, Lindsay Lohan, Meryl Streep, John C. Reilly, Maya Rudolph, Kevin Kline, Tommy Lee Jones, Lily Tomlin, and Virginia Madsen. Robert Altman (M*A*S*H*, Gosford Park, Short Cuts, The Player, Nashville: ALL SLOW SMOOTH MOVIES BUT STILL GREAT. Well actually i haven't seen n e of them lmao only a little bit of M*A*S*H*) directed the movie and died very shortly after it and this movie was a great choice 2 end his directing career. The movie's a melancholic ode 2 the last show of a long-term live radio broadcast show, hosted by Garrison Keillor. Keillor really does have a live radio broadcast show called A Prairie Home Companion 2 and the movies a very clever fictitious story version of it. Keillor stars in the movie 2. I mean if u dont mind watching a slow-moving movie with a great cast, witty dialogue, and a fun-loving storyline then i think u might get a kick out of A Prairie Home Companion.

Then there's Punch-Drunk Love. LOVE. THAT. MOVIE. I recommend every1 sees it (especially Gick i feel like it's ur type of movie). Adam Sandler, Emily Watson, and Philip Seymour Hoffman star in it and its directed by the awesome, talented director Paul Thomas Anderson (husband 2 Maya Rudolph. Also directed There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights, and Magnolia). Punch-Drunk Love is a wonderfully witty and strange and bizarre yet romantic and loving romance movie. I don't even no how 2 describe its plotline its so effing unique and unique and unique and unique and unique. C it c it c it c it c it. If u love strange movies as much as i do then Punch-Drunk Love is right up ur asshole. Dont wry though its not like gross or violent or "too weird" no no no its perfectly harmless. C IT!!!!!!!!!

Last but not least there's the wonderful Duncan Tucker written/directed 2005 road trip transexual comedy Transamerica. Felicity Huffman really shoulda won the Oscar 4 best actress 4 this (even though Reese Witherspoon was great in Walk the Line c'mon Huffman was so much effing better in Transamerica). She's almost unrecognizable in this and her performance is challenging and brave. She nails it completely. Kevin Zegers (yep. he's the boy from the Air Bud movies) is also very good in it 2. I love Transamerica 4 its originality in screenplay. It's about a transexual.....(ehh idk what 2 say man or woman. Huffman was originally a man but she's becoming a woman. Ehh i'll just say transexual. The movie's about a transexual who's about 2 get her penis removed but then she finds out that she has a long-lost son that she's never met (Zegers). Her psychologist forces her 2 not go through the operation until she gets her relationship with her son sorted out. It becomes a very funny, dirty, and, wow, oftentimes VERY VERY VERY DIRTY road movie. U guyz would really really like it (i think anners has seen it) its really something. Just pretend that Huffman did win the oscar 4 it in 2006 and then u'll feel even better.

Damn you Scout. No Scout im totally just kidding i love you and wanna have babies with u. You're only 21 and i'm 19 that's not a bad age difference.

2010-04-28T23:00:00.003-04:00

Nothing better than listening to Lindsay Lohan's Confessions of a Broken Heart-Daughter to Father while posting. 2day was so-so once again. I was supposed 2 work on my art history essay 4 friday but instead i just watched scout taylor-compton youtube videos all day. I LOVE THAT GIRL AND WANT 2 MARRY HER. But then again i kinda hate her cuz she distracted me from starting my essay. ALL DAY 2MRRW IM DOING IT. My lord i am just filled with so much joy that i have 2 write an essay about giorgio de chirico and how his paintings reflect Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy =D. Joy joy joy. May 8th matty May 8th. I ate some wonderful lo mein and sour asian-style chicken 4 dinner @ the Student Activity Center. I've been eating it @ the SAC 4 the past 2 weeks. SOOOOOO MADDDDD that schools ending so i cant eat there n e more. If only i'd discovered this Asian place @ least a few weeks earlier i coulda eaten there more. Dammit. Lol i keep saying Asian food cuz idk what type of food it is; Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc. Do all Asian foods serve lo mein? Idk. Then in my night class me and partner had 2 present our powerpoint and of course out of all the other presentations that were running 2 long (they were supposed 2 b 5 minutes but each 1 of us kept running past 10 minutes @ least. Sadly me and Alex were about 15-20 minutes. ERGHHHHH IM SO BAD @ PRESENTATIONS!!!) my teacher tells US that we need 2 wrap our presentation up. Of course out of all the groups he has 2 tell ME and MY PARTNER. I feel like Lindsay Lohan in Just My Luck; everything bad happens 2 me. During the break however my teacher did walk past me in the hallway and say that my presentation was good but he mighta been lying. It mighta been a scam. Teachers love scaming students, especially me I'm a scaming sex victim 4 them. If only it were X-Mas i could ask 4 Santa Claus 2 stop making me such a scaming magnet. Maybe i should pray 2 Jesus more but unfortunately my religion class has caused me 2 not even go near or even remotely think of God and religion and Jesus and apple pie.

O yea what's also bugging me is that i just can't sleep n e more. I'm 85% an insomniac and it sucks. I almost fell asleep in all 3 of my classes 2day. I hate being a light sleeper i hate it hate it hate it. I've always been a light sleeper though. When i was in 5th grade my mother had 2 take me 2 a child sleep psychologist and she told me that when im trying 2 sleep and i say in my head 3 things that i hear, smell, and see (by pretending that my eyes r open) then i'd fall asleep in no time. IT WORKED!! I slept perfectly. Then again i still had 2 experience 5th grade and watch Matt Toal steal his teacher's pet role from me from my mustache teacher Mrs. Clark. I almost cried on the last day of 5th grade when she gave him her favorite student award and not me. It was like a movie. She was about 2 announce the winner and i stood up and smiled 2 the audience and then Toal's name was pronounced. I remember that day when i got home i went through all the Indian Lane yearbooks and drew funny faces on Matt Toal's face and gave him breasts and nipples. There was also the time in 5th grade (the same year 9/11 happened) when my good bf Patty Stokes had pics of, like, ppl falling from the World Trade Center hung up all over his room. That was also the year his evil guinea pig bit my leg so hard it felt like Pamela Anderson's left breast had gotten shoved up my butthole. Then there was Nick Bonaventure and, well, im not gonna say n e thing about how i felt towards him in 5th grade cuz ima gonna b 2 harsh. 5th grade man that was a strange year. I CANNOT BELIEVE IM ALMOST DONE BEING A COLLEGE FRESHMAN. It went wayyyyyyyy 2 fast and like my post a few weeks ago i pretty much wasted my entire 1st semester.

N e way i found bootleg clips of The Runaways on youtube late last night. YOUTUBE?! The Runaways bootleg clips?!?!?! That's odd. The clips were 2 short but i still got a great kick of seeing my 3 girls in it (Scout's in it 2 incase u guyz dont no). My god it's hot seeing Dakota Fanning smoke a cigarette and say the s word. And seeing her in a corset =) yummy. Also the kiss scene between her and KStew was on youtube 2 AND IT WAS NOT BAD @ ALL OMG. The media made it seem like it was a long-ass pornographic make-out clip but it wasn't @ all. They were pretty much just bunny-kissing it wasn't hot @ all (primarily bcuz KStew is not hot in the movie due 2 her hair style). And OMFG OMFG seeing Scout as a badass guitar player made me faint. Seriously i like fainted on the ground and almost missed my 3 PM class.

Scout!!!!

2010-04-28T00:30:00.002-04:00

Ugh so hot I just found out that Scout Taylor-Compton has a huge youtube account of her own videos with her roommate (or at least i think he is and I most def think he's gay). Ugh ugh ugh Scout i love u so much. She's probs my new crush right now. I love women with long hair that can look badass but @ the same time r just really cute.

Megan, Research, Summer

2010-04-27T19:42:00.004-04:00

New Jonah Hex poster just hit the internet!!!!! And 8 seconds from the trailer were released yesterday (or sunday i dont remember) and the full trailer is hitting the web this Friday in front of A Nightmare on Elm Street in theaters!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited thats like my must-c movie of the summer and its mainly just cuz Megan's in it and she's badass in it and she's a western prostitute which is incredibly S.E.X.Y.A.S.F.U.C.K. If u haven't heard of Jonah Hex its from a comic book series and its about this, uhhh, actually i have no idea what its about lol i just heard that its like a western action movie about a scarred bounty hunter who's in love with a prostitute and blah blah blah he's getting revenge or something idk. Y do u need a plot if Megan Fox is in it anyway?

N e way 2day was a little better than yesterday. I've been in the library 4 26 straight hours finding sources 4 my research paper. Now that i have all of them I feel a lot better....except i still need 2 write the essay. Fuck. Then i need 2 revise my other research paper 4 media and culture. Then i have a presentation this wednesday 4 media and culture. Then i have 5 finals 2 complete.

My parents r being nice and happy cuz they're in St. Barths right now so they e-mailed me that they'll take me 2 niftie fiftie's after move-out =D soooooooo excited.

Howl's Moving Castle

2010-04-27T14:20:00.003-04:00

Ahhhhhh i totally 4got 2 post a quick movie review last week. Last week i watched another Hayao Miyazaki anime film called Howl's Moving Castle (2004). It was great I really really enjoyed it except i dont think i liked it as much as Spirited Away and Ponyo. The visuals and imagination of Howl's Moving Castle, like every other Miyazaki film, r still fantastic the only problem was that i just got a tad bit confused with the storyline. Idk if it was jumbled or if it was just me being stupid but there were a lot of parts i just didnt understand with the movie. Then again it didn't bother me that much and i still loved the movie 4 its imagination and spectacular visuals. The voice talents include Jean Simmons (who recently died this year =,( ) Christian Bale, Emily Mortimer, Lauren Bacall, Blythe Danner (Gwyneth Paltrow's mom), and Billy Crystal (also according 2 IMDB Jena Malone does 1 of the voices 2 but i dont remember hearing her). The movie's also wonderful in that u really do care 4 his characters so much. In this, Spirited Away, and Ponyo i notice there's a recurring theme of love which is always great 2 admire in a kid's movie. The love between Howl (Christian Bale) and Emily Mortimer/Jean Simmons's character (yes they both play the same character. It's a long story) is timeless.

That's just great. Someone saw me naked =D

2010-04-27T00:38:00.004-04:00

Wow 2day's been so-so. Just now i came in2 my room and changed in2 my pajamas. The roomie was in the shower but what i didnt notice was that his gf was on skype on his laptop and could c me change....and when i changed my boxers accidentally came off 2 revealing everything 2 the computer screen. Ooooooooo shhiiiittttttt. Awkward. I seriously didn't even notice that she was on the computer screen. 4 christs sake u shouldn't leave somebody on skype when i come in get a fucking clue. Blahhhh erghhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhh there r so many things i'd like 2 say right now about you-know-who but i probs shouldn't 4 medicinal purposes. 2day was also so-so in that in film class i told my teacher that i had finished my project already and then instead of saying "Oh that's great Matt good job" he had 2 say "O ok let me look @ it and i can tell u if u need 2 fix n e thing.".......Ughh, buddy, in not editing it n e more 4 gods sakes i've already sent it 2 the Diamond Screen Film Festival. It's finished. C'est fini pour l'amour de Dieu. Of course he watches the final cut and is like "Oh ok edit those 4 parts and fix the music @ the end." They weren't big parts just 2 cuts that were bad and needed fixing up that i never noticed in the final cut (they're when wawrence and emily get 2 the door and he asks her "What's this girl's name again?" and also the quick like 2 milla second shot of Sean opening the box of masks). I probs shoulda noticed them but of course i didn't. Shit. I just need this semester 2 b over no more homework no more grades no more final projects no more tests no more finals no more goddamn teachers and roomies and claustrophobic 3 foot rooms and shared bathrooms that smell like the devil's shit shit twice. Summer summer summer just this week and next week and then i'm done =) and technically next week i dont have class cuz they're just study days. Then again that' not gonna b fun though. Shit shit shit. Wow ok i need 2 stop cursing im just pissed right now. Just need 2 write an essay 4 friday and then i'll feel a little bit better. Don't u guyz just hate that anticipation of having 2 write an essay? I hate it. I hate that I have 2 think every second "Ok matt u need 2 write that essay u need 2 write it sometime its due friday do it do it do it." I think i'll start research 2mrrw. What did Friedrich Nietzche believe in what was his philosophy n e body no?

Kick-Ass

2010-04-25T23:08:00.003-04:00

Saw Kick-Ass 2nite! Very very entertaining but honestly I didn't love it as much as i thought i was. I was expecting a spectacular crazy-ass psychotic movie on crack and it didn't satisfy me as much as i thought it would. There r some reasons however 4 me not loving it as much as i would. First off omg the movie theater @ temple is like soooooooooooo crappy. The whole movie was like blurry and in bad quality =/ and it cost 8 frickin bucks! That pisses me off a lot i mean im paying money 2 go c a movie in good quality and u give it 2 me in crappy quality. Screw u Pearl Theater on Avenue North on Broad Street. And i still feel like poop so i wasnt as pumped 2 go c it. Still i didnt hate the movie i really really enjoyed it. I just need 2 c it again IN BETTER GODDAMN QUALITY. Theres already a ton of controversy when I made my status on facebook that I have a crush on Chloe Grace Moretz (a.k.a. Hit Girl). IM JOKING PEOPLE. My roommate and Matt Munin took it seriously (well Munin would of course that guy always does on whatever i say on facebook). Moretz is just so effing badass in the movie thats y I love her so much. She is the epitome of cool. And im saying it now Moretz is gonna b very attractive when she's older. Aaron Johnson (a.k.a. Kick Ass in the movie) is soooooo adorable and good 2. Can u believe he's British? Man what an amazing American accent. Yet again im a little afraid of Johnson cuz he's getting married 2 a 45 year old woman and they're gonna have a baby.....and he's 19 years old. That's really weird Aaron.

Oh Gabby

2010-04-25T17:28:00.003-04:00

Oh Gabby Gabby Gabby. I love you 2 death u r absolutely adorable and very lovable and funny and u were funny on SNL but i dont think u were ready 4 it yet. SNL was so-so i felt just cuz Gabby seriously messed up her lines in, like, every 1 of her skits. Its totally understandable of course i mean she's such a new actress it's reasonable 2 acknowledge that she was nervous. Therefore i dont think it was Gabby's fault i just think it was the ppl who hired her 2 host SNL's fault. I do admit though that I loved the digital short she did with Andy Samberg, Cherry Battle. SOOOOOOOOOOO WEIRD.

Blahh

2010-04-25T17:09:00.004-04:00

Wow I'm out of it. I'm like really really out of it. I attempted 2 work on my 3-5 page art history essay on Giorgio de Chirco due this friday but I barely even got 2 the temple library resource website. Last night was interesting. It was =) and =( =) cuz I got 2 do U NO WHAT 4 the 1st time and it was awesome but =( in that i positively hate how i act when im drun-i mean, hyper. I'm ridiculous. I'm a gigantic, sex-crazed, perverted, loud, obnoxious fool. I think im worse than Jess Richardson. I was really mean 2 this sober guy @ the party last night and I felt really really bad cuz he's like the friendliest nicest guy on the planet. I just apologized 2 him on facebook so hopefully he'll 4give me. Whenever someone gets "hyper" there's always one instance where they have a breakdown (kinda like jake breaking dog's shower curtain, natie dry-heaving, jess richardson breaking her nose). I think that last night I had my breakdown. The pics r on Facebook u can c how ridiculous i am. N e way what was i celebrating last night? Insomnia Theatre's Second Performance of course! The show went really really well every1 laughed a lot at me and Jordana (that was the other writer)'s play, Aspiring Sadists. It was a crazy play my god it was crazy. Me and her were up all friday night writing the script and then all day yesterday we napped and then @ night we got 2 c our story reenacted =) it was so awesome. Our story was pretty hysterically outrageous. It's about a couple, 1 American and 1 Asian, who adopt an Asian orphan 2 torture 4 themselves because they've been wanting 2 torture and murder ppl since the day they got married. They get in a big argument though when the wife (the American 1) wants 2 torture her with traditional American technique weaponry but the husband (who's Asian) prefers traditional Asian technique weaponry because he feels its necessary 2 teach their new child the cultural heritage and facts of Asian culture. So they fight and then the next door neighbors couple break into the basement (where the Asian orphan it. Also the asian orphan's name is Dong Dong.) The couple discovers Dong Dong and explain 2 her that they've been sneaking into the sadistic couple's basement 2 have sex bcuz their marriage has been through a little bit of a rough patch bcuz they live an open marriage but they want 2 live more of a traditional civilized ordinary normal marriage where they don't cheat on each other (kinda unlike Mo'Nique's open marriage with her husband). They soon get in a fight cuz the wife still has feelings 4 the sadistic wife whom she once had an affair with years b4. So they fight and then the sadistic couple makes up and the neighbor couple makes up 2 and decides 2 murder the sadistic couple bcuz its the only way 4 the wife 2 get over her feelings of the sadistic mother. They then adopt Dong Dong. Then @ the end the sadistic couple wakes up and isn't dead and looks @ the audience sinisterly...DUH DUH DUH!!!!! Nahh it wasnt supposed 2 b scary @ all it's all my humor. Surprisingly me and Jordana got along really really well and we like agreed on everything. The actors and direction were fine 2.

N e way im so psyched that schools almost over =D this week is my last full week of classes technically cuz all next week is study days. And im seeing A Nightmare on Elm Street next tuesday which i can't wait!!!!!!! I'm also seeing Kick-Ass 2nite with the roomie which i cant wait 4 also.

P.S. finding this pic on the internet was creepy. DO NOT EVER GOOGLE IMAGE SHITFACED I REPEAT DO NOT EVER GOOGLE IMAGE SHITFACED. U will b scarred 4 life.

Le Diner de Cons/Dinner for Schmucks

2010-04-23T15:29:00.003-04:00

Sry but this post is only 4 ppl who took french @ penncrest. Do u guyz remember that comedy we watched called Le Diner de Cons? I believe we watched it in 10th grade 1 French III. I think the movie was about this guy and his business friends and every week they as a joke bring the dumbest person they can find 2 dinner. Well, the movie just got remade into an American version with Steve Carell and Paul Rudd and Zach Galifianakis called Dinner for Schmucks! U can watch the trailer on youtube or apple.com/trailers. Looks like it'll b funny. Jay Roach (Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, all the Austin Powers movies) directs and the movie is hitting theaters july 23rd. Maybe i should tell madame riviere about that. Wow that might b awkward though i haven't even e-mailed her once.

Get a clue! It's there inside of u! O yea! Thats right!

2010-04-23T15:14:00.002-04:00

O yea there is something that i 4got 2 post about wednesday night. So my media and culture teacher (u no, the half-British half-American 1 that always gets movie dates wrong and i always have 2 correct him) is really nice and cool and oftentimes very funny but my god he pissed me off wednesday afternoon. Me and my partner Alex we have 2 each have this project powerpoint we need 2 do 4 this wednesday and our teacher wanted 2 talk with us about how our essays were (we each had 2 write separate essays about our same topic, the MPAA and the weird R/NC-17 relationship). So he starts with mine and tells me whats wrong with it. He hands it back 2 me and i dont even look @ it i just turn it over and put it in my backpack right away cuz i dont like looking @ what teachers write on my rough drafts cuz it makes me feel stupid (especially if the teacher is sitting directly across from me). I also had 2 skip my theater class which i hadn't done once (and i can't cuz my teacher takes roll) just so i could have a meeting with this teacher cuz it was the only time i could get in with him and Alex. Then in my media and culture class @ nite in center city i take out my essay and, well, something's strange. Y is it strange? ITS NOT MY GODDAMN ESSAY!!! My name is not Matthew Vona my name is Matthew Bussy 4 christ's sake teacher get a goddamn brain. So basically i skipped my theater class 4 nothing and everything that my media and culture teacher told me about my essay was a huge lie and i shouldn't listen 2 n e of it. So im pissed and i hand him back my "essay" and am like "Dude u gave me the wrong essay." He just smiles and gives me back the real 1. Woops! he says. I ask him if theres n e thing he needs 2 talk about with about my REAL essay this time and he's just like Nope. So is my essay ok then what should i do? All he wrote on my essay was that i need 2 fix some grammatical things. Is that it? Well dumbass that better b it cuz if u flunk me up then its gonna get rough around this joint.

It just really bothers me when teachers make idiot moves like that. I mean come on; u gave me the wrong essay?! Just get a goddamn clue 4 gods sakes ur the teacher dont make dumbass idiotic imbecile decisions. I like my media and culture teacher and hopefully i'll let this little annoying deed pass but he's also ridiculous in that he has positively no idea how 2 work a computer. Ur living in the 21st century buddy and the president is liberal and black, U NEED 2 ADAPT 2 THESE NEW CHANGES. Just please b smart and dont annoy the students.

Forgiveness.....is more than saying sorry...

2010-04-22T22:02:00.003-04:00

Just watched The Office and 2 episodes of 30 Rock. They were great but I thought the office was really sad though =( erin and andy =,(. I love Erin i think she's my new favorite character. Tina Fey is so extraordinary i love her so much. I'd kill 2 meet her. Its so cool she was born in upper darby and MARIA BENEDETTI MET HER :O :O :O!!!!!!!#@$*%!(_@*$#%)(!@*# Wow i actually dont really no what 2 post about. 2day was boring as ever. Tuesdays and thursdays always r cuz i have religion class. I slept in until 1 PM and religion is @ 2. That's strange cuz i do sleep in on tuesdays and thursdays but usually till 11:30 or sometimes noon. Never 1 o'clock thats rare baby. I kept having this weird dream that the Bussy's were having an X-mas partay and it was raining outside and the British actress from the Steve Martin/Queen Latifah hilarious 2003 comedy Bringing Down the House (her name is Joan Plowright and she's soooooooooooooooo funny in that movie) was there but we, like, hit her with our car but she was alright and then my whole entire driveway and we started going fishing and i caught a bass and then we ate it 4 dinner except i dont remember the dinner part. My god i have strange dreams. I prefer Dakota Fanning dreams not dreams where i go fishing on my driveway. I also don't prefer dreams where i'm hanging out with shia labeouf and megan fox underneath a car and then megan starts flirting with shia more than me (YEP. That's a real dream i had.) This week should b fun i'm doing insomnia theater this friday and saturday night (well technically not friday night friday night is the auditions and i write my script all night long).

Man i'm in the mood 2 dance right now. Maybe i should tell my roommate that they're sending out free, like, food or something downstairs so i can dance by myself in my room. Can't wait 4 the insomnia theater afterpartay saturday night =D so excited 2 get my groove on like P. Diddy fucking an octopus jizz pussy. There's this song (idk if its new or not) by Florence and the Machine (lol never heard of them) called Dog Days Are Over. It's in the trailer 4 this summer's Eat Pray Love movie with Julia Roberts. LOVE THE SONG SO MUCH. I just think it's such a cool song 2 dance 2 and the music video is cool 2. I love (and i assume it's Florence) Florence's voice its so unique. This is probs the most boring post i've ever written. I'm sorry guyz im 2 antsy 2 type right now. I need hardcore booze and elephants 2 give me massages with their feet. I'd also prefer a snake 2 wrap around my neck like a rope except it doesn't hurt or n e thing instead it feels like warm creepy jelly creeping up my uvula.

Kristen Wiig is God

2010-04-22T14:39:00.003-04:00

I dont know who's my favorite comedic actress: Anna Faris or Kristen Wiig. I just watched last week's SNL episode with Ryan Phillippe and i died laughing when Wiig portrayed Icelandic singer Bjork. If u've ever heard Bjork talk in interviews THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT SHE TALKS LIKE AND EXACTLY HOW SHE ACTS. Wiig is so effing funny i love her. But i still love Faris 2.

Also fyi the wiig/bjork impersonation @ the top is not from last week's episode. Last week's episode she talked with "Larry King" about the recent volcano that struck Iceland and caused mayhem 4 flights and famous ppl in europe.

ELECTION!!!!

2010-04-22T00:15:00.004-04:00

Here's Election (1999). I recommend that every1 tries and c this it's very very very witty and entertaining. It's based off a book 2 by Tom Perrotta (Little Children, also made in2 a 2006 movie with Kate Winslet (in an Oscar-nominated role), Patrick Wilson, Jennifer Connelly, and Jackie Earle Haley). This is also (along with her Legally Blonde role) my favorite Reese Witherspoon performance she's hysterical here. She also got a Golden Globe nomination 4 Election in 2000.

Being John Malkovich and A Very Long Engagement

2010-04-22T00:00:00.002-04:00

Bought 2 movies 2day @ fye. And shockingly, this is it 4 buying movies 4 a while. The reason y is that i really truly feel like i have all the movies that i wanted. I want u guyz 2 no that i haven't been buying all these movies cuz im, like, bored or just cuz im obsessed with consumer-purchasing and i dont even like the movies no no no it's not that at all. There really r just a lot of movies that i've been wanting 2 purchase and keep with my grand collection; Maria Full of Grace, Vanity Fair, The Unbearable Lightness of Being (which just came in the mail the other day !!! so happy love that movie), Pan's Labyrinth, Hable Con Ella, etc. I really do want these movies 4 my collection. Every now and again i always make a list of movies that i want 2 buy and introduce 2 my collection. Last Sunday it was Being John Malkovich (1999) and A Very Long Engagement (2004). There really aren't n e more except 4 1: Election (1999). N e body no this movie? Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon? It's an awesome, brilliantly and originally satirical, and hilarious comedy/teen flick/political satire from director Alexander Payne (Sideways, All About Schmidt). I SO WANT THAT MOVIE!!! Jamie wants it 2 we both love it. Unfortunately @ FYE there isn't a single used copy and a new DVD copy of it is like 25 bucks so VOMIT! I ain't in hell paying 25 bucks 4 JUST 1 MOVIE. I could buy 4 movies 4 25 bucks or even 5. So im still searching 4 Election but thats it that's the only movie im really looking 4.

N e way my quick movie reviews. Being John Malkovich im sure many of u have heard of or seen. It's an excellent and so so so so so unbelievably wacky and weird film by screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Adaptation, Synecdoche, New York) and director Spike Jonze (Where the Wild Things Are, Adaptation). It stars John Cusack, an unrecognizable Cameron Diaz, the wonderful Catherine Keener, and, uh, John Malkovich. It's 1 of my favorite films of all time its truly like the all-time wackiest weirdest film ever made. And u no me i love wacky flicks.

A Very Long Engagement i've mentioned a few times in some of my posts. It's from Jean-Pierre Jeunet (WHICH I AM NOT GONNA REPEAT WHAT MOVIES HE'S MADE CUZ I"VE DONE THAT A MILLION TIMES! I expect all u guyz 2 memorize his filmography and send me a paper of them by friday.). It's not as whimsical and colorful and comical as Amelie (woops! u just got an answer!) in fact it's not a comedy. It's a world war I drama but it's still filled with whimsical Jeunet style and humor (then again ehhh i wouldn't call it humor cuz its not funny. I 4get the word 2 describe it in A Very Long Engagement). If u love Jeunet films as much as i do then A Very... is just as entertaining as Amelie. Amelie's better, of course, in that its brighter and 50293750928375029357239485723098572 more whimsical and funny. A Very... is still brilliant though; its visuals, its almost superhuman cinematography, its acting, its storyline, its whimsicalness (wow wait is that a word?). Audrey Tautou is in it again. So is the hot hot hot hot hot Marion Cotillard. And get this u no who else has a small role in the movie? Jodie Foster? Yep. Jodie Foster speaks French and she speaks it damn amazingly, really. Apparently she and Jeunet met @ a cafe in Paris and he wanted her 2 b in his new movie.

High Masks: The surprisingly early premiere

2010-04-21T23:43:00.002-04:00

Yep. I worked on High Masks on final cut all day long yesterday and got it done in time 4 wednesday. I mainly did that bcuz i wanna submit it 2 the Temple Diamond Screen Film Festival (which basically is just Temple's student film festival that they do every year) and all submissions r due by friday so =O i had 2 get it done early! I admit maybe i did overreact a bit 2 the movie's criticism. I admit it's not as bad as i thought it was gonna b its just not perfect though. The whole i-didn't-talk-with-the-actors-on-how-2-say-their-lines surprisingly really isn't as huge a deal the only big deal 4 me is that when i first started editing it u could hear me moving the tripod and the noises were soooooooooo unbelievably distracting and annoying. I tried my best 2 edit the noises out in the final cut of High Masks and hopefully not 2 many ppl noticed them as much as i did (haha well if u didnt notice them and ur reading this now then if u watch the movie again you'll probs notice them now lol). I mean u can still hear some faint camera pan tripod noises but i tried 2 get rid of the LOUD OBNOXIOUS noises as much as possible the only problem was that the only way 2 do that was 2, like, echo some1's speaking lines a bit if the camera noises came up while they were talking. I tried my best that's all i can say and hopefully nobody'll notice that as much as i do. Of course my mother did. She calls me 2day about the movie and like the 1st thing she says is "Matt I loved it! Except y can i hear u move the microphone and tripod around in every scene? U need 2 work on that." Kim is seriously like the biggest Debbie Downer on the planet (i honestly think that she and the real Debbie Downer from SNL would have a lesbo affair if they met). Believe me i've learned my lessons on High Masks: work with ur actors more and especially ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY loosen the goddamn tripod when u need 2 do a panning shot. I feel like a retard just saying that. I guess i shouldn't say that 2 myself though bcuz i am a new filmmaker i hate 2 say it but i really am. And High Masks was good cuz it shows that i'm learning my mistakes and am maturing more as a filmmaker.

Lmao o yea there was also the issue with y the hell the tripod is seen in 2 shots of the movie: the spinning scene with Beese and Wawrence and the suffocation scene @ the top of the stairs with Emily and Wawrence. Yes of course: it was unintentionally there. I was rushing a bit and like an idiot i 4got 2 move the goddamn tripod out of the shot. Once again (and actually i am justified 2 say this i believe) that really was just the biggest idiot move of all time. But i have a great solution 2 this problem though if ppl ask me in a condescending way (and believe me there r some real pricks in my film class) y the tripod is in the background. Im just gonna say that it was intentional bcuz it added more 2 the surrealism of the dream sequence. There4 i put it there on purpose. I think that sounds good. I just learned all about Impressionism and Postimpressionism in my art history class and those artists used 2 intentionally make HUGE-ASS brush strokes in their paintings 2 flat-out say that what they were painting was JUST A PAINTING. It was not supposed 2 b a serious almost photographical (hence indexical, meaning containing an external part of reality) and TRULY AND HONESTLY REALISTIC in a way. They were emphasizing that they were actually painting paintings and not deep, realistic and naturalistic views of life. Maybe i should start doing that in my movies. I should flat-out show a tripod in the background of all of my movies 2 flat-out say THIS IS A MOVIE CAN'T U C THE TRIPOD?! Hence this movie is not real! That might b clever. Then again it might get kinda repetitive if i keep showing a tripod in the background. I think it works pretty well with High Masks and hopefully ppl don't flat-out think "What an imbecile he 4got 2 move the tripod."

I also admit im a little disappointed @ what gtephen commented on 4 high masks. I understand if u dont get the movie (believe me a lot of ppl (*cough* everyone in my film class) don't understand my movies) and im not mad about that its just like, Steve, c'mon couldn't u have just said "Good job, Matt" or "Haha that was funny" or even just plain "Hmm that was interesting." When u only say i dont get it and nothing else it kinda upset me a little =(

Fort Mifflin!

2010-04-20T14:49:00.002-04:00

Fort Mifflin was so much fun i love ghost investigations. Technically the investigation was a tiny bit of a disappointment but i have a lot of reasons 2 explain y it also WASNT a disappointment. Unfortunately we didn't see n e apparitions or hear n e thing extremely extremely audible but the atmosphere was CREEPY. Fort Mifflin really is a terrifying place 2 stay @ night with no light @ all. We did hear noises like shuffling, ruffling, footsteps, whispers, talking but they were all soooooooooooooo faint. We went in2 many of the casemates @ the fort and they were the creepiest. First we went into Elizabeth Pratt's house (and apparently though its not exactly historically true Pratt hung herself outside her house in the 18th century and many many ppl have reported seeing a woman in period clothing around the house.) Sadly nothing happened in the room and we never really felt threatened in the room. In fact we actually felt kinda welcomed. We still need 2 hear the EVPs =D ugh im so excited 2 hear them. N e way the casemates were the scariest. Casemate 5 kept getting colder and colder and even when we shut the door it still got colder and colder and colder. We also heard some faint yet slightly audible footsteps from the ovens @ the back of the casemate which was creepy 2. There was another casemate (i 4get what its called though) right next 2 casemate 5 and that place made us all shit ourselves. The room was tiny and claustrophobic and we really really really did not feel welcome @ all. My friend Michele also got her arm touched by someone when we turned off our flashlights and nobody was standing near her. We actually almost ran out of that casemate the atmosphere was so effing tight and creepy we really did not feel welcome. Things got even creepier when a few of us went 2 casemate 11 =O. I posted about casemate 11 quickly a few weeks ago and incase u 4got casemate 11 was only discovered a few years ago. It's an underground casemate and the walls and everything down there IS TIGHT AS HELL. Me and 4 other people went down there and only stayed there 4 about 5 minutes. We sure as hell felt threatened there 2. There is a signature on 1 of the walls in the casemate and when we started talking about and asking the spirit if it was his or her signature we started hearing faint groans and mumbling. We left immediately. The atmosphere was not welcoming like Pratt's house it was threatening. The worst thing was that when we left i was in the very back line of everybody else and I HATED THAT. U have no idea whats walking or watching u from behind and believe me in casemate 11 WE KNEW that somebody was watching us and wanted us 2 leave. It was really cool meeting the owner of the Fort as well (he lives there. I repeat. IM NOT LYING HE ACTUALLY LIVES @ THE FORT! That is one brave man i could never ever sleep 1 night @ fort). He was on Ghost Hunters on the sci-fi channel! That's so cool he was on TV!!! Lol nobody else in the group thought that was cool except 4 me. He was kinda wacko and loopy and he had a huge ass lazy eye but he told us about some of the weird things that have happened 2 him on the fort 2. The creepiest thing is that he was pushed by someone off the sidewalk 1 time. He also said that just a few nights ago he heard loud footsteps as if someone was wearing heavy boots coming from outside his bedroom while he was trying 2 sleep. He's not scared @ all though he said that he's totally used 2 the weird unexplained stuff that happens @ the fort. If the ghosts r annoying him he goes 2 the casemates and yells @ them 2 shut up and leave him alone. He's also used 2 seeing Elizabeth Pratt as well.

The pics @ the top r of casemate 11 and another casemate. Casemate 11 is the creepy tight room picture. Yep. I was scared 2 death in that room.

Why?

Y am i such a horrible director? Really i am. I am the worst director in the world. I should b referenced to Ed Wood. I started editing High Masks 2nite and its an utter catastrophe and its all my fault. I didnt work with the actors dialogue @ all. The camerawork is terrible. I hate it and I'm as mad as hell and fuck combined. Y am i such a bad director? High Masks is a catastrophe 4 many reasons. 4 1 thing in every single scene u can clearly hear me moving the camera and i dont no y those sounds r heard. Its seriously in every single scene. U hear me move the camera and it completely ruins everything. The worst thing of all is the speaking roles of the 3 cast mates. Its not them its me. I didnt work with them @ all on how 2 say n e of their lines correctly. None of it is right @ all. None of the way they're saying their lines is correct whatsoever and its just an awful miscalculation and its all my fucking fault and i wanna die right now. I seriously feel like crying. We all worked our fucking asses off on that saturday afternoon and it all turned out terribly and its all my fault. Im really sorry guys. Like really i am i didnt mean 4 this movie 2 turn out badly. My problem with making movies, or at least with making high masks, is that im 2 impulsive with shooting a scene. With high masks, along with all my other movies, i never make a shot list 4 the cinematography. I personally dont like 2 cuz i just like 2 experiment and usually thats fine but with high masks it was all terrible. I should have prepared a list of shots but i didnt cuz im the biggest loser in the world. I should have made a shot list cuz i was using my new camera and tripod 4 the first time. I was just also 2 impulsive on that saturday cuz i new that i had a ton ton ton ton ton ton of scenes 2 shoot and i needed 2 get them done quickly cuz ppl had 2 leave and many of them couldn't stay 4 a long time. I just can't film 2 quickly that was the ultimate problem with HIgh Masks it's that i rushed 2 much and from a director's P.O.V. IT IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE WHEN U NEED 2 RUSH MAKING A MOVIE. I just couldn't film High Masks in 1 day and it was just harder 2 film cuz i cant control that many people @ once. Im not saying that i hated the cast u guyz were awesome it's just my fault cuz i didnt work with u guyz @ all. In every shot 1 of the actors would look @ the camera 4 example but i wouldn't no that when i was filming it and that actor would probs have 2 leave early so i couldn't get another shot in. I should've gotten in a different shot and 4 fuck's sake i should have talked more with the actors but i just didn't want 2 cuz i felt 2 rushed. This isn't a fun movie project this is a serious school project that im getting graded on. I can't take my time. I need 2 just get it done quickly also cuz many ppl need 2 leave. I need 2 rush. I don't have time 2 talk i just need 2 get these scenes done with cuz we're running out of time. THAT'S ALL THAT I WAS THINKING when i made high masks and unfortunately thats y the movie is an utter 0 star catastrophe that im probs gonna get a D- on. Once again im really really sorry guyz like seriously i am. Believe me u have no idea how much i wanna off myself right now cuz this movie had the potential 2 b awesome and instead it sucks Hitler's cock. Now if you'll excuse me i have 2 go cry now =,(

2010-04-18T20:25:00.003-04:00

So i dont have n e homework and its sunday night so im gonna post some more. In this week's double issue entertainment weekly they talk all about the summer movies coming out and i'll post about it cuz its fun and not all of u guyz get entertainment weekly soooo.....Well 2 days ago Kick-Ass just came out and I'm soooooooooooooo dying 2 c it. On April 23rd, or this friday, JLo's new rom-com The Back-up Plan hits theaters. Looks cute i've always loved JLo she's so hot and seems so friendly and normal in real life. There's also that movie that some of u may have seen TV spots 4, The Losers. U guyz no it? Its based on a comic book and looks ehhhh idk i mean it looks entertaining but i dont think i'd wanna c it in theaters. Then again Zoe Saldana is in it =D yummy. It's also funny cuz the mean black boss from last season's The Office is in it 2 (u guyz no he's British in real life? Great American accent). On Earth Day the "eye-popping" documentary Oceans hits theaters. Looks really fun but then again it might just feel like a National Geographic episode. Along with Kick-Ass the other movie i'm most excited 2 c is A Nightmare on Elm Street, hitting theaters on April 30th. Of course its a remake of a horror classic so it most definitely won't b as good but c'mon it nonetheless looks plain awesome. I seriously might c that on the friday night it comes out (i rarely do that @ temple though. In fact i've only done that once. Jennifer's Body, September 18th, 2009).

THEN MAY HITS! Lots of big movies hitting in this month. Mostly just sequels. There's Iron Man 2, which im dying 2 c. There's so many stars in it: Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Mickey Rourke, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, and Samuel L. Jackson. It's also directed by Jon Favreau, that fat guy thats always hanging with Vince Vaughn in movies (like Couples Retreat and The Break-Up). Favreau also directed the 1st movie and Elf. Sex and the City 2 is also gonna b a box-office success without a doubt. Am i gonna c it? No way im not a fan of that show and im sry but i dont think that sarah jessica parker is attractive at all. I do love Kim Cattrall though i think she's banging even if she is like 50 years old. Im also excited but nervous about seeing Shrek Forever After or Shrek 4 as many ppl will reference it. I personally was extremely disappointed with Shrek the Third and hope that this fourth installment is as funny as the 1st 2 (and it's in 3-D =D). Surprisingly the movie im most excited about seeing is a movie none of u guyz r familiar with: Micmacs. Well it's Jean-Pierre Jeunet's new film and it looks epic. Can't wait can't wait can't wait. Ridley Scott's new Robin Hood movie (called Robin Hood) with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett does look pretty fun 2 i'll probs c that when it comes out. I DO NOT WANNA C, HOWEVER, Jake Gyllenhaal's goofy new action film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, based off the popular video game. Im sry but that movie just looks dumb dumb dumb 2 me. Zombie director George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead filmmaker) has yet a new zombie flick hitting theaters, Survival of the Dead. As much as im deeply in love with Amanda Seyfried her new movie Letters to Juliet does look crappy as hell. There's also an SNL-movie version of MacGruber (called MacGruber) hitting theaters in May 2, with Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Ryan Phillippe, Val Kilmer, and Maya Rudolph. Looks funny actually i hope it gets good reviews. A movie i also wont b seeing is Just Wright, the new Queen Latifah rom-com. Also starring Common, Paula Patton, and Pam Grier. Another movie none of u guyz have heard of is Mother and Child, with Annette Bening, Naomi Watts (ugh i love that woman), Kerry Washington and Samuel L. Jackson. Its directed by Rodrigo Garcia, a guy who's made 2 really really really critically-well-received indies called Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her (2000) and Nine Lives (2005). Alejandro Amenabar (The Others, The Sea Inside, Abre Los Ojos) has a new period piece egypt movie with Rachel Weisz called Agora. I love his work i'll c that 2.

Ok sadly i dont wanna type n e more so im just gonna post new movies coming out this summer and not explain n e thing.

Spirited Away

2010-04-18T19:51:00.002-04:00

Spirited Away (2002) is an extraordinary movie by anime kids's movies director Hayao Miyazaki (Ponyo, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke). The movie is extremely popular in Japan and is in fact Japan's highest-grossing film of all time (beating Titanic). It also won Best Animated Feature Film @ the Oscars in 2003, beating Ice Age, Lilo & Stitch, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and Treasure Planet. I loved the movie, 1 of my new favorites. There aren't as many known voice talents as in Ponyo (which included Tina Fey, Cate Blanchett, Matt Damon, Liam Neeson, etc.) The main character of Spirited Away is voiced by Daveigh Chase, the girl who portrayed the evil Samara in The Ring (2002). Michael Chiklis and Lauren Holly r pretty much the only other popular actors in the film. O yea and the guy who voiced Thackery Binx (the cat) in Hocus Pocus is in the movie 2 lol. N e way y is Spirited Away fantastic? The storyline, the imagination, the animation (yes its not computer animated but its still brilliant), the schmorgosboard (spelled that wrong i no) of creative ideas, the voice talents (especially Daveigh Chase. She's wonderful): ITS ALL SPECTACULAR IN THE FILM. The storyline is almost like a Japanese Alice in Wonderland but a thousand kazillion times more original in ideas. The movie's mainly terrific because it's just plain wonderful. I loved it bcuz its perfectly suitable 4 kids in that there really aren't n e evil or detestable characters. Technically there r some villains in the movie but they end up changing and becoming heroes in the movie in a way. There's also not the typical "villain puts protagonist in danger and then villain is defeated by either getting killed or arrested and so forth." U guyz really must c Miyazaki anime films they're absolutely wonderful. Ponyo's great as well i posted that movie a few weeks ago. Spirited Away is even better. Really try and c it if u have the time.

Art, Blood, Farting, and Shining City

2010-04-18T19:23:00.004-04:00

Had a terrific and funny but exhaustive weekend. Friday night sadly fell through and no1 could partay so i just stayed in and watched an amazing movie (which i'll post about next). Saturday morning I had 2 go 2 the philly art museum 4 my art history field trip but since there's no subway stop near it (well actually idk if there is but im sure that there isn't. Some ppl told me that u can just walk 2 the museum from temple except u gotta go 2 through the "valley") so i just got off @ city hall and then walked allllllllllllllllllllll the way down the road of flags 2 the museum (the same walk that me, wawrence, gick, carina and clex went on in 2008 =( that was so much fun). It was actually a really fun walk and the weather was nice. I love Fairmount Park it's so pretty there. I'd love 2 go 2 the franklin institute or the zoo sometime in the next few school weeks (especially the zoo i'd kill 2 go there). The museum was so much fun i loved it. They got some huge classic works of art there, in particular Paul Cezanne's Mont Sainte. Victoire (@ the top). It was amazing seeing that. And even though Marcel Duchamp's original Fountain is lost the replica of it was amazing 2 witness as well (also @ the top). Im also reading up about this artist Giorgio de Chirco and 1 of his most famous artworks was there, The Soothsayer's Recompense (yet again also @ the top) so cool 2 witness it. There was even an Amedeo Modigliani portrait there; i did a huge project on him in 8th grade french (aww madame hensley how i dont miss u makes me so happy). Its pretty strange cuz Modigliani was Italian ???? so y did i do a project on him in french class is a mystery. What sucked though is that the museum has a Picasso exhibit and i tried 2 get in but u need a ticket 4 it and i got in 4 free (the teachers paid 4 it).

After the museum i back 2 the room 4 a few hours. I cut the inside of my nose shaving (how? i have no idea) and blood went absolutely everywhere. When i made the bleeding stop (which took approximately 4 hours long) i got back on the subway and went 2 Penn 2 hang out with Anners, Lizzy, and Hillary (she visited). We had a funnnnnnnnnnn night. I cant explain much in this post cuz, well, i'm sure u no what we did @ night @ the college. What i can say is that when we were done "enjoying ourselves" i slept over in annies room with them and 4 some reason hillary and i could not stop cutting the cheese. It was hilarious SO FUNNY.

Then 2day i got back 2 temple @ noon and chilled 4 2 hours. Then i went back on subway YET AGAIN!! This time i went on it 2 c an extra credit play 4 my theater class called Shining City @ the Theatre Exile on Delancey Street (near Market). Pretty good play i enjoyed it. When i got back (just 3 hours ago) i treated myself 2 qdobas (it was open again!!!!! I guess they solved their electrical problem. And thankfully no homeless nut started following me.) My god i had the most delicious shredded beef burrito with rice, hot sauce, black beans, cheese, and sour cream of allllllllllllll time (and ice water). I got back 2 the room and collapsed. SUCH A BUSY WEEKEND. And now i have insomnia theatre this weekend! Well it wont b as bad though. Im writing 1 of the skits with some1 and all the writers do is stay up all night and write the scripts (hence insomnia). Then on saturday the writers nap all day and come back @ night 4 the performances. That's all. So excited. Im just mainly excited that classes r almost over!!!

Out of it/the evil homeless obnoxious junkie

2010-04-16T14:40:00.004-04:00

Speaking in my last 2 posts as being "out of it" 4 the last few days i had the most bizarre day yesterday. Well it was my b-day but technically my b-day was from april 9-april 11 in media, PA so thats not y i was out of it. I worked at this bake sale 4 the paranormal club 2 try and raise more money 4 future investigations (hopefully Eastern State this semester =D). I had religion class but left early cuz the professor wasn't in and his dumbass TA Abbas Afdflakwejhasdflkj (yep, thats really his name im not joking) tried teaching us and i cant understand a word he's saying. Do u remember that popular hilarious youtube video of that german (or russian or italian i have no idea what language it is) interviewer intervies that guy with the really really really funny accent who was fired from his job 4 his accent? Yep. My TA 4 religion sounds just like that. It's a complete joke. Maybe i can get him fired as well as the professor. N e way after the bake sale i had 2 go c Henry IV, Part I @ the Lantern Theatre near Market Street on 11th but i had 2 get dinner 1st. Well 4 the whole entire day i was craving a qdoba's shredded beef burrito and i had 3 bucks left on my qdobas gift card so i just kinda wanted 2 use it up so i walk all the way 2 qdoba's right next 2 Cecil B. Moore station and there's a sign on the door that reads SORRY. DUE TO OUR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WE R CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. So i was like noooooooooooooooo cuz i was craving a burrito and was pissed. When im about 2 walk away from qdobas this homeless black guy walks up 2 me and starts asking me 4 money cuz he needs 2 get 2 fern rock station. I just go "No im sorry i dont" (well no of course i do but i aint givin n e 2 u u bum). So i start walking away and he GRABS MY SHOULDER and keeps begging 4 money. "R u sure u dont have n e? Do u have a card that u could just scan and lend some money 2 me? Do u have n e @ all please please please?" He just won't stop. Its also ridiciulous cuz this is in broad daylight and there r ppl absolutely everywhere around us so y does he keep raping me (metaphorically speaking). I finally manage 2 get away and escape 2 this pizza/cheesesteak/italian hoagie place called Pizza Plazza right near qdobas and the temple movie theater. The food is horrible @ pizza plazza but im starving cuz qdoba's was closed and the temple cafeteria is 2 far away so i figure i'll just get a cheesesteak with wiz cheese and onions. So i place my order. I turn around. Standing right in front of me is the homeless bum. He starts asking me 4 money some more. "So did u just buy food with ur card? Can u use ur card 2 get me some money?" This is what i almost said. "Buddy do u want me 2 scream? Just say the word and i'll let out the bitchiest girl scream of all time and ur sorry ass will get arrested. Leave me alone. Get the fuck away from me. I am not giving u money bcuz idk u and maybe if u werent so damn annoying i would give u money but unfortunately u r damn annoying so i aint givin u shit so back the fuck off." It was absolutely crazy i mean i seriously wasnt scared cuz there were ppl everywhere and i dont even think this guy knows what a "gun" is. Honestly it was just extremely obnoxious. LEAVE ME ALONE DUDE IM NOT GONNA GIVE U MONEY. N e way my out of it day wasnt over. First off the cheesesteak i ordered was absolute shit and i have no idea why i spent $6.50 on it. So then i got really really mad. Dont u hate it when u do that? U spend money on a food that u end up hating and even worse u kinda knew that u were gonna hate it but u still bought it? Thats annoying. When im done eating im supposed 2 meet Mar Gazzarra and my friend Danielle in the underground subway so we can all c Henry IV 2gether. I tell them that we should all meet @ 6:10 PM. I get downstairs in the subway and the second i do the train comes. The problem is that mar and danielle still haven't arrived. Instead of waiting or even remotely thinking of the fact that i probably SHOULD wait cuz idk how 2 get 2 the theater in center city, i just blatantly get on the train right away without them. Y did i do this? I have no idea. O.U.T. O.F. I.T. I text them when i get off in center city on 11th street (i take the market-frankfort line) and wait 4 them. As im waiting this young man (probs a college kid, senior or junior maybe) walks right past me and says hello. I immediately say hello back except i dont no the guy really. But i recognize him so much. I recognize him but i dont no him completely. Impulse allowed me 2 immediately respond "Hey!" when he walks past me. Who was this man? Where do i no him from? Lol n e way then we go a c Henry IV, Part I and the 3 of us leave during intermission bcuz we just cant handle it @ all. Look i adore shakepseare of course i do but unfortunately i dont no n e thing about his history/trilogy plays and the problem is that i need 2 no a little bit about what a shakespeare play is about cuz then i wont enjoy it as much. Y couldn't my theater teacher have assigned us 2 c positively n e other shakespeare comedy/tragedy except 4 henry IV or n e other history/trilogy plays? Y? Y? Y? Its a shame cuz yes i'd kill 2 c romeo and juliet or macbeth or othello or hamlet or a midsummer night's dream on stage but instead i had 2 go c Henry IV which is like the most confusing play of all time. The thing is it wouldn't have been as confusing if i read it first. We might stayed longer 2 if the play wasn't 2 hours 40 minutes long and it was already 9 o'clock @ night. Im sry theater i love shakespeare but if i had read henry IV, part I first then maybe i would've enjoyed it and stayed 4 the whole thing.

So that was my Out of It day. A stalking homeless man, a repulsive cheesesteak, a weird subway incident, and a horrifically boring and confusing play. Man that cheesesteak is bad. When i got back 2 my dorm i got 4th meal and had 2 eat cheerios just get the taste out. Im really craving a Jim's Steaks cheesesteak right this instant man i havent been there in 4ever. 2nite i might get a crepe 2 celebrate myself cuz i've had a stressful week (a 10 page essay and a 6 page essay :O).

2010-04-16T14:02:00.002-04:00

Is anybody looking for summer internships or is it just me? In the Temple film department they keep stressing to me that we should try and find internships as fast as possible because it's basically rare 4 film majors 2 find jobs when they're older =/ shit. I have been trying to look 4 internships but i feel like its just not going well. Well first off i left it way 2 late; i should've started looking 4 internships earlier on but i didnt think that freshmen could even get internships so i just thought that like 0 people did it, But then Angela Wolf got an internship =O what!? then other people i no started looking more 4 summer internships 2 so i joined along but i still feel like i did a lazy job. I did e-mail this 1 guy who's looking 4 videographers. His name is James Betterson and get this, the internship place is called Hottest in the City. What the hell place is that? Well i typed in the official website of it and it doesnt work; it says that the website isn't ready yet. So then i googled and nothing came up @ all. The guy e-mailed me back and is asking 4 a resume and 3 movies i've made. Well i dont mind about the 3 movies but i've never written a resume b4 =0 i dont know how =O well no i kinda no how the microsoft soft word on my mac is kinda helpful but still i just need 2 get 2 it. There's also this guy who's about 2 make his directional debut (he graduated from temple with an MFA in film last year) and he needs some help with the making of it 4 this summer. I e-mailed him and he's interested in me (lol no that that interested). So i guess i got an internship? Idk i feel so out of it. What the hell is wrong with me? I gotta get off my medication cuz i think its that. Im just worried about the future that's all. I think that my freshman year was just a huge blur like i seriously felt like i did nothing. I did do insomnia theater (and our show's next week =) cant wait!!!) and the paranormal club (haha idk if i should put that on my resumes though). I really did try this year though so i shouldn't beat myself up 4 that. I tried staying in Improv Club but all the kids were obnoxious and unfunny and weird and stupid so i quit (i no that sounds mean but trust me they were not fun 2 improv with whatsoever). I also did join the Temple Pre-Vet Association (once again u didnt have 2 b a vet 2 b in it) but there were like 3 other kids in the class lol and when they told me what we were gonna do @ the animal hospitals i ran out of the room. All i can say is that they mentioned that we were gonna examine autopsies of dead dogs and cats =O =O =O no no no aint doing that i love animals 2 much. The biggest disappointment of the year was attempting 2 write 4 the newspaper bcuz i had been craving 2 do that since the day i was born (cuz unfortunately @ Penncrest it sucked balls). Well first I joined the Temple University Society of Professional Journalists, thinking that it was dedicated 2 writing 4 the Temple newspaper but it was the exact opposite. It was a club dedicated 2 future journalists and every single meeting was just info on how 2 succeed as a good journalist. That's good but i mean i dont wanna b JUST a journalist i love writing movie reviews and talking about movies but still i dont think that journalism is my future (i mean hell its not even my major or minor) so i quit that. Then 1 day i decided 2 grab a Temple Newspaper and e-mail the arts and entertainment editor-in-chief. I e-mail her and she perkily responds that i can write 4 the newspaper and even better, I'D GET PAID 4 IT!!!!! This was a dream come true. So i e-mail her again and ask her if I can write 2 movie reviews 4 the next issue. No response. I wait a few days. No response. I e-mail it again, u no maybe it got lost or something. Still no response. I e-mail it again. No response. I e-mail "Hello?" Still no response. So once again that was another failure. I also mainly failed that i didnt go 2 the temple theater wall more often 2 check if there were n e auditions coming up 4 n e plays. Then again thats not my fault cuz Temple didn't e-mail me or notify me or n e 1 else in the school of communications and theater about HOW 2 FIND OUT IF AUDITIONS 4 PLAYS WERE COMING OUT. I only found out in november 4 the first 2 months i had no idea how 2 audition 4 n e thing nobody told me or n e 1 else. In november i auditioned 4 1 play that i wanted 2 get into sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo effing badly (it's called Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead) but i didnt get the role. I kinda chickened out and then gave up when december came cuz i was just having 2 many issues and i was literally on the edge of suicide i just had 2 go home (and then i had the worst x-mas of all time with my family but thats a different story). Man i've had a rough and disappointing year. I no that sounds pessimistic and all and i love temple i just had an awful year as a freshman cuz i barely did n e thing and though some of it wasn't my fault much of it was my fault as well. Did n e body else have an ok freshman year? Im like really sad right now i feel like i just wasted my whole year as a freshman =( i coulda done so much more.

Vanity Fair, Maria Full of Grace, and House of Sand and Fog

2010-04-15T00:59:00.002-04:00

Used my birthday money 2 buy 3 movies @ FYE (like i said b4 @ FYE if u buy 2 used movies u get a 3rd used 1 50% off so its a damn good deal). Let's begin....

First movie i picked up and have been meaning 2 buy 4 the last few weeks is Mira Nair's luscious 2004 period piece Vanity Fair, from the novel by William Makepeace Thackery. SUCH AN AWESOME MOVIE. I really dk y it got mostly mediocre reviews from critics. It is a tad bit slow-moving so some ppl might not like it. I love the movie 4 2 reasons. 1: it is so lusciously colorful in costume design and saturated colors in cinematography it's like u want 2 lick the dvd seriously (it might even beat Marie Antoinette (2006)'s luscious look =O seriously. U can call me girly but im in love with bright beautiful colors i love love love them in movies, especially period pieces like Vanity Fair. 2: i love the storyline of the movie cuz it feels so relatable and zeitgeist even 4 every1. The movie's about the famous fictitious literary character Becky Sharp and her rise 2 the top of society through her manipulation and "sharpness" (hence her last name obviously). I feel like that story can easily b acknowledged in modern times 2. How many ppl try 2 raise their status in society? How many ppl try and basically just get more popular? How many desire that so much? Thats y i love the movie and URGE URGE URGE URGE URGE every1 2 give it a shot. Reese Witherspoon is the heroine Becky Sharp of the movie and Eileen Atkins, Bob Hoskins, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Rhys Ifans, Jim Broadbent, Gabriel Byrne and James Purefoy star in it 2. Lol its also funny cuz in the alternate ending of the movie Robert Pattinson's in it.

Next movie i bought was the extraordinarily powerful 2004 spanish drama Maria Full of Grace. The storyline is so powerful and original and shocking that im not even gonna explain it. I no that might sound annoying but i want all u guyz 2 not even read up on what the movies about just go out and watch it. If i give u the storyline it'll ruin the power experience that'll influence u when u watch it so there (lol though if u c the pic of it @ the top u might get the idea of what its about lol). All i will say besides that the storyline and overall movie is powerful is also that the main star of the movie, Catalina Sandino Moreno (next 2 b seen in Twilight: Eclipse) is just so amazing and i goddamn wish that she'd b in more movies. She got an oscar nomination 4 this movie @ least but lost 2 hilary swank 4 million dollar baby.

Last movie i bought was House of Sand and Fog, the also powerful 2003 film from the popular novel. Starring Jennifer Connelly, Ben Kingsley, and Shohreh Aghdashloo, the movie has a power that is unforgettable. Lol how many times have i said power or powerful in this post?

I no i keep saying this and i no u readers have busy lives believe me i do 2 but when u do have the time i always always always recommend u guyz 2 watch NEW movies that u may never have heard of. The only reason i post these quick movie reviews is so that u guyz can give them a chance.

!!!!! The Unbearable Lightness of Being!!!

2010-04-15T00:55:00.002-04:00

Sry just quick breaking news i just ordered Philip Kaufman's brilliantly erotic and beautiful and extraordinary 1988 film The Unbearable Lightness of Being, with Daniel Day-Lewis, Juliette Binoche, and Lena Olin. Such a beautiful movie and honestly yes there is a ton of nudity and sex in it but it's all about eroticism and not gratuitousness (like Showgirls) that's what makes it such a brilliant movie; it's a rare movie in that not 2 many other sex-appealed movies show the beauty of sexuality and love. SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT PEOPLE!!!!! I BEG OF U.

Then again it might b hard 2 watch or find. Since the beginning of the second semester i've constantly been searching in Center City's FYE 4 it but can't find it n e where and its so annoying!!! It's also not on youtube =( well actually the spanish version of it is but no no no dont watch it. The only solution i had was 2 order it off amazon BECAUSE I NEED THE MOVIE ITS WITHOUT A DOUBT AN ABSOLUTE KEEPER

Tom Jones

2010-04-15T00:46:00.003-04:00

It is pretty late and I should b sleeping but what the hell. I have a lot of movie stuff 2 talk about. Last weekend i watched a movie called Tom Jones. N e 1 no it? Well u should cuz it won 4 academy awards in 1964 including best picture and best director, tony richardson (who later died of AIDS)!!!!! Tom Jones is another 1 of those unrecognized oscar winners and its strange cuz its not that old of a movie really (1963? Thats not 2 old c'mon). The movie's based off a classic 18th century novel by Henry Fielding and stars the adorably charismatic Albert Finney (he's so young here! so sad he's never won an oscar =( ) n e way i really enjoyed the movie the positively best word 2 describe it is frivolous. Frivolous frivolous frivolous frivolous frivolous frivolous. It's joyful, happy, and even quite raunchy and vulgar 4 the time period it came out in. The film's all about the freedom of youth and sexuality, set in the beautiful landscapes of "pride and prejudice era" England. I really loved the cinematography it was all over the place but not 2 disorganized; all felt very very experimental. If ur in the mood 4 a goofy frivolous British tale then i'd recommend Tom Jones. It is really good 2 c all the best picture winners (surprisingly there r tons more i still need 2 c but they're all very very old obviously)

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

2010-04-13T14:10:00.003-04:00

Omg about 10 minutes ago in religion class like an idiot i decided to place my laptop on top of my chair and then stand up and hand in my essay. BAD IDEA. The laptop was 2 light and it fell off and hit the ground =O y am i such an idiot sometimes? The laptop's not broken or n e thing but the back of the laptop that lifts up is bent down a bit so now whenever i open it up it makes a weird noise =( now 4 the rest of my college life i'm gonna have 2 hear that noise =( my laptop is my life i cannot believe that this happened. This is a nightmare. I could bring it in2 best buy i guess. I mean its not a hugeeeeeeee deal its just bent down a tiny bit but still this sucks doggy dick.

As for other bad news 2day @ temple is the start of spring fling which basically means every1 partays and gets drunk every second. Unfortunately there r 2 unfortunate things. 1st off it's raining and crappy outside so its not as fun. Also i need 2 write a 6-page essay 4 my media and culture paper 4 2mrrw. A third unfortunate thing is that i have class @ nite 2mrrw so i still can't partay. A fourth unfortunate thing is that i need 2 go c Henry IV @ night 2 so I STILL CANT PARTAY. Plus its my birthday this thursday and i have 2 go c Henry IV: BLOW ME. Dont get me wrong i adore shakespeare's plays but not his trilogies they dont do much @ all 4 me.

Dear God please please please don't make my laptop get more broken than it already is right now PLEASE. I still cant believe this i never ever ever break stuff especially expensive stuff how did i do this? I hate myself. I feel like the screaming monk in Edvard Munch's The Scream.

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans

2010-04-12T14:06:00.002-04:00

Watched a movie last saturday night called Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Or at least thats what i think its called. In the beginning of the movie the title reads The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call: New Orleans. Ugh i prefer Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. I dont like it when movies do that. In School of Rock the beginning title reads THE School of Rock. In The Twilight Saga: New Moon the opening title reads New Moon and then the end title reads only Twilight Saga: New Moon. Ughhhhhh thats just really bad editing in my opinion i hate it when movies do that. N e way Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes star in the movie and give fine performances, especially Cage. He's extraordinary here. A lot of times I dont really like that Cage just picks whatever movie script he gets handed cuz he's so ubiquitous cuz he picks a lot of bad movies 2 do (just wait 4 this year when Season of the Witch hits theaters). I mean i seriously dont think that many times he even finishes the script when he reads them. But then again hell maybe he just really really really really really loves acting and doesn't mind doing an awful movie. Plus Cage IS an academy award winner (1996 best actor 4 Leaving Las Vegas) and he does pick a lot of good movies 2. Bad Lieutenant got great reviews when it came out last year and even Roger Ebert put it on his top 10 of 2009 list. I really liked the movie as well. It's directed by Werner Herzog which not 2 many ppl r familiar with but he's constantly credited as being a very very reknowned director of the world (i believe he was the head of the New German Cinema back in the day). He directed that documentary Grizzly Man has n e 1 seen that or heard of it? True story about the crazy bear guy who then got mauled by bears with his girlfriend and the whole attack's audio was recorded? Creepy. Herzog also directed a movie called Rescue Dawn with Christian Bale and Steve Zahn a few years ago. That got great reviews 2. N e way Bad Lieutenant is a very in-depth character study of Cage's character, a lieutenant who is dedicated 2 his job but is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo effed up. Drugs drugs drugs thats what he's obsessed with. My god theres a lot of drugs and profanity in Bad Lieutenant. The movie's also set in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and it has a terrific New Orleans/southern almost noirish feeling. I'd recommend it if ur really into character study movies with a great performance by Nicolas Cage.

B-day. Temple ruins again.

2010-04-11T23:44:00.003-04:00

I had a wonderful B-day celebration @ home. I went 2 dinner in south philly at this italian restaurant with my folks friday night. It was very good I liked it but not as good an orgasm as the towne house. All day Saturday i helped my dad paint the deck (no we didnt paint it a different color we painted it with this ahhh i 4get what its called it protects the deck from drying when it gets 2 hot). I also mowed the lawn 4 the 1st time in 2010!!!! HUGE NEWS!!!! Actually i dont even think it counted as the 1st time cuz i didnt do all of it i just did certain parts and i didnt even sweat or get wet with the hose afterwards so no i dont think it counts but n e way. Sunday morning we went 2 philly and picked up my sister from the bolt bus. She was in NYC all week looking 4 summer jobs; poor girl she seemed really really nervous and stressed. Good and bad news 4 her. Great news is that she got her old internship from last summer back, u no, the 1 where she got 2 go 2 the movie premieres of harry potter and the half-blood prince, my sister's keeper, and the time traveler's wife. That's such an awesome internship i mean she might get 2 b friends with famous people. Just imagine it: my sister goes 2 the premiere of Sex and the City 2 and she and John Corbett (whom she has a big crush on and plays Aidan on the tv show) become friends and he comes over 4 dinner and i get pics with him and put them on facebook and then when I look 4 internships the internship ppl will c my facebook picture and c that im friends with corbett and they'll hire me cuz thats awesome! Ok n e way the bad news is that its an unpaid internship =( and she's, like, LIVING in NYC after graduation from PSU so she needs a paying internship. Awwwww shit. N e way we all went out 4 lunch @ niftie fifties and that was terrific; their chili cheese dogs r 2 die 4 i have no idea ho they make them so good. I also got some awesome B-day gifts 2. 1st i got Fantastic Mr. Fox, Broken Embraces, Heavenly Creatures, and Where the Wild Things Are!!!!! So happy i love those movies. I also got 2 books all about filmmaking which r great 2. And i got the book Shutter Island! So psyched 2 read it (if i ever do, actually. God im such a bad reader i hate that i am.) NEW FLIP-FLOPS! Cant wait 2 bring em 2 senior week 2. Lastly i got some awesome new buttoned up shirts as well as a few t-shirts. In conclusion i truly loved all my gifts they were great.

Well everything was going swell until i got back 2 temple. So apparently only 2 of my interviews with the pastors got recorded which 1st off is absolutely BS cuz my third interview DID GET RECORDED i clearly remember pressing the record button when i sat down with him. But nope! My mac hates the third interview it hates Reverend Michael J. Evans of the Berean Presbyterian Church and Community Center located on Broad Street right next 2 my dorm building. I mean i kinda remember what he said but hell i had 2 ask him 9 questions and he talked a lot about each one in his answers so im totally screwed actually and i pretty much just hve 2 sorta kinda make-up what he said if i cant remember it. I no thats bad but there is positively nothing i can do cuz the paper's due tuesday. I got the 1st 6 pages done 2nite so now i have only 4 more 2 do. In fact the assignment says it has 2 b APPROXIMATELY 10 pages so i think i can get away with 9 or even 8. I better get away with it or i will scream in hell. It's a pretty shitty essay but thats kinda tough shit cuz the class is shitty 2 and i've learned 0 facts about religion since the beginning of the semester. God i feel like im failing everything right now except 4 art history thats like the only class i feel im great at. I need my GPA 2 go up it feels so low right now. Ugh all in all i just need this semester 2 end. LIKE, NOW. Seriously i did not wanna come back 2 temple 2day cuz i have a 10 page essay 2 write and 2mrrw and tuesday night i have a 6-page essay 2 write as well. FMFL FMFL FMFL FMFL FMFL FMFL FMFL. There is nothing worse than having 2 write 2 essays in about 2 or 3 days. FMFL thats the last time i'll say that. Just a few more weeks and then all the classes r done just a few more weeks. Honestly though im freaking out right now just cuz this week is a bad 1 but im sure that next week wont b as bad (knock wood) i still need 2 edit my movie though goddamnit i 4got about that. Ok im stressed again. God please make this semester go fast please please please please please.

Also quick good news i get 2 write 1 of the skits 4 the next 24-hour theater @ temple on the 24th =D so excited 4 that im actually gonna get 2 write a crazy story of mine 4 the stage 4 the very 1st time. Im sure High Masks coulda been a terrific extraordinary on-stage musical.

Mars Attacks!

2010-04-09T15:39:00.002-04:00

Lol last week on tv the 1996 Tim Burton movie Mars Attacks! was on and i 4got how much i love it. N e 1 ever seen it? It did bad @ the box office but has a cult following i believe. It's sooooooooo entertaining and weird and funny and unintentionally depressing but humorous. Im sure a lot of u guyz have seen it. It's a homage 2 the lame 1950's Hollywood sci-fi/alien/UFO movies like The War of the Worlds and The Day the Earth Stood Still. A lot of critics didnt like it but i loved it i just thought it was so clever and witty. A ton of stars r in it 2. A TON. Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Danny DeVito, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Natalie Portman, Pam Grier, former football player Jim Brown, Michael J. Fox, Lukas Haas, Jack Black (in a very early unknown role), Tom Jones (yep, the singer), Martin Short and classic actor/Oscar winner Rod Steiger in 1 of his last roles. If u haven't seen it i recommend seeing it it's a cult favorite i dont think u can watch it on youtube but u can on movies-links.tv/ in megavideo. The aliens in the movie r memorable in my life. Since the day them movie came out in 1996 my dad still impersonates what the aliens sound like in the movie when they talk.

The City of Lost Children

2010-04-09T15:12:00.003-04:00

I watched another Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie, A Very Long Engagement, Delicatessen, this year's Micmacs =D can't wait!!!) french film last night called The City of Lost Children (La cite des enfants perdus) (1995). The movie was also co-directed by Marc Caro but, well, idk him and jeunet's better so im gonna mention him instead. I liked the movie i mean it was totally entertaining and the typical whimsical imagery and scenes that jeunet normally shows in his movies is still breathtaking but honestly, it's not my favorite of his. I love love loved delicatessen, amelie, and a very long engagement but this movie isn't my favorite of his. The problem? Explaining the storyline 2 the audience. It's quite weakly done i feel (it was also a little shaky but not as bad in delicatessen as well). Unfortunately during the movie i had 2 pause it and wikipedia and imdb the movie 2 c what was going on. Sadly there were still some plot points that the movie didnt understand as well as it should have. Nevertheless the movie was also still very watchable because it had a fine mixture of laughs, sweetness, scares, and just really really really weird Jean-Pierre Jeunet style (so many scenes in the movie r so clever and inventive). Plus the storyline, though confusing @ times, is very very original which is always good. It's about a mad scientist who starts stealing little children so he can steal their dreams bcuz he's pissed bcuz he never dreams and he wants 2 dream like them. Unfortunately the kids keep having nightmares bcuz, well, they've just been kidnapped so the scientist still can't receive decent nice dreams from them but instead their nightmares. Ron Perlman (yes, the guy who plays Hellboy in Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army) plays a circus strongman guy (u no? the muscular guyz who wrap chains around their waist and then break them by themself? Go c La Strada (1954)) stars in it and comes in2 the picture when his little brother gets kidnapped by the scientist and his cyclops army. And yes, Perlman speaks French in it. He's not bad @ speaking it either. In conclusion the only problem was the movie's weak attempt 2 explain what was going on. And u no what there r some other movies i love 2 that have that same problem 2, the 2 main examples being Tarsem's films: The Cell (2000) and The Fall (2006) ("It's so beautiful"-Nick George). I love his movies 4 their inventiveness and extraordinarily eye-popping visuals but yes i do admit that he also doesnt do the best job of explaining the storyline 2 the audience.

Y aren't u showing these movies?

2010-04-09T14:47:00.002-04:00

Well terrific news today. The Runaways and Chloe still aren't showing at positively n e local theaters at all. In fact The Runaways is gone and Im pretty sure amanda seyfried's hot new movie Chloe is 2. This is ridiculous. Y aren't they showing n e where y? Not even @ the ritz y? Or regal y? Or n e where y?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Its so annoying cuz im dying 2 c these movies and i dont wanna have 2 wait until dvd or until they show up online bcuz im antsy. Erghhh it's these damn 3-D movies that r taking over i seriously think they're the reason that the runaways and chloe aren't showing n e where its cuz they have 2 many 3-D movies 2 premiere at theaters. Think about it, 3 3-D movies just came out in a matter of about 3-5 weeks: Alice in Wonderland, Clash of the Tits and How To Train Your Dragon. And there r lots lots more coming. Its ridiculous that they cant even squeeze in 2 more movies its utterly preposterous. N e way, I finally got my 3 interviews in. Yesterday I got up early and went 2 a lutheran church and interview the pastor. He was nice but like extremely extremely extremely stern and serious in manner. Plus it was kinda creepy cuz the church wasn't even open yet so it was just me.....and him.....no1 else.......and he's a pastor. No im sry i dont mean 2 stereotype. I next took the market-frankfort line and went 2 the Historic St. George's Methodist Church on 4th street near penn's landing (i think). I liked the methodist pastor a lot more cuz he wasn't as awkward and had much more of a personality (his secretary did 2 she was very nice and funny). 2day i got my third interview in with the pastor at the Berean Presbyterian Church, located right next 2 my dorm. It's an all-black church but it wasn't awkward and the pastor was really really nice and cool. It only got awkward when the interview was over and he told me that i should come 2 the church on sundays. Um............ok i'll do that? Sry buddy but 1st off i mean IT IS an all black-church so it just might feel 2 weird 4 me and also im really not that religious and im sure if i told u what my religion on facebook is then u'd crucify me in front of the Liberty Bell or Independence Hall and every1 in the city would look 2 me and throw tomatoes and celery @ me. N e way it feels really good 2 get the damn interviews done. Now all day sunday i need 2 write a 10-page essay on all of it =D yayyyyyy. @ least my parents get 2 take me 2 an italian restaurant 2nite 2 celebrate my b-day early =] and then niftie fiftie's and hopefully clash of the tits in 3-D this weekend 2. Then the semester'll b over soon and then senior week 2!!!!!!! So psyched.

OMG STOP STOP STOP

2010-04-08T21:52:00.002-04:00

Seriously i woke up this morning with the worst cough in the entire world and the whole entire day I've been couching approximately 392,295,175,309 times every second. No like im serious. I CANT STOP COUGHING. I was just sick a week ago but i got better and now im sick again. Y?! Its hot not cold out! Shit this so annoying I cant stop coughing and it hurts and my throat is gonna come out of my mouth and my parents r gonna get mad @ me that i keep coughing this weekend. U stupid goddamn cough stop coughing and hurting my throat. I had 2 c that Deborah Franklin play 2nite and it was an extremely small-ass theatre like it could only sit 30 ppl so i was up-close 2 the actress (it was a 1-woman show) and i could not stop coughing so much that i honestly think that the actress was getting sick of me. I thought she was gonna kick me out. I feel bad cuz of course i dont wanna cough but i need 2 its an urge i cant help it i must do it cuz if i dont then i start 2 lose my breath and suffocate. It got worse 2 cuz after the play i looked @ the board in the theatre building and checked if there were n e auditions coming up and immediately I saw auditions for a late august/september production of shakespeare's a midsummer night's dream (as my facebook status reads) AND I FREAKED OUT IN A GOOD WAY! Like i seriously started jumping up and down in happiness. A Midsummer Night's Dream is my favorite Shakespeare play and also just 1 of my favorite literary texts of all time. I WOULD KILL 2 B IN A PRODUCTION, as well as in n e other shakespeare production @ temple i miss miss miss 10th grade's twelfth night in 2007 :,( but of course something bad has 2 happen. I read everything on the audition sheet and it says that it's actually called A Queer Midsummer Night's Dream. So its gay theatre. Lol i shoulda noticed cuz the picture on the sheet was of a shirtless gay-looking guy (thats a real pic of him @ the top). Shit. Shit. Shit. This is soooooo annoying. I just wanna b in a play when im not acting it makes me wanna murder Cat Ramirez and Kate Nolen and i hate that it sucks. Erghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Well i am doing insomnia 24 hour theatre in 2 weeks so that should b fun. Plus i seriously cant wait 2 start new this fall and go and check the theatre board in the theater building every single day and every single hour. I also saw that Temple is gonna do Sweeney Todd this fall =D but i cant audition 4 that. I can't sing and i dont like singing in front of ppl i cant do it. I just like acting in plays but not musical plays. If i do need 2 sing in a musical i must b in the chorus i cant have a solo or n e thing cuz i'd die.

Boys Don't Cry, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

2010-04-08T17:30:00.003-04:00

It's time 2 post! Missed last nite. Well last nite i bought 3 movies. Boys Don't Cry, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Boys Don't Cry every single person on the planet should c. I no hillary and anners have seen it but idk about every1 else. SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT. Hilary Swank and Chloe Sevigny r extraordinary in it (sadly Sevigny was snubbed an oscar and instead angelina jolie won 4 girl, interrupted and basically had sex with her brother @ the show. She is so weird. Sevigny without a doubt shoulda won and it gets me really really upset whenever i do watch the movie cuz this amazing actress didnt win an oscar 4 it.) Ok blah blah blah n e way it came out in 1999 and u should c it. It's a true story 2. It is very very very intense 2 watch @ times though and it is quite possibly the hardest R-rated movie of all time (and it did get an NC-17 rating @ first). I also 4got how much i frickin love love love love love love Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine... (2 lazy 2 type right now and finish the title). It is quite possibly the most surreal movie ever made im serious. An extraordinary screenplay by charlie kaufman (adaptation, being john malkovich) and awesome performances from jim carrey, kate winslet, kirsten dunst, mark ruffalo, elijah wood and tom wilkinson. Kate Winslet definitely deserved the oscar 4 the movie i believe. Dont get me wrong i do believe that hilary swank deserved a second oscar 4 million dollar baby except bcuz she had already won i felt that kate winslet really deserved it more that year. Im happy she won 4 2008's The Reader but @ the same time im pissed cuz she wasn't like EFFING EXTRAORDINARY!!!! in the movie that year i thought the best female performance was meryl streep in doubt. So basically the academy gave it 2 winslet NOT for the reader but just bcuz she deserved an oscar finally. I dont think i like that the academy does that. Then again i was pleased that sandra bullock won 4 the blind side. Ok n e way Kate Winslet deserved the oscar 4 it and every1 should c it. Its so great seeing jim carrey portray a real, ordinary person and not a comical maniac. Mark Ruffalo and tom wilkinson r adorable in it. Also kirsten dunst is. What in the hell happened 2 her i love kirsten dunst she's been out of hollywood 4ever. Its a shame i love kirsten dunst i always have she has this likability thats so powerful 4 me. I wikipedia'd her and apparently she suffered from alcoholism and even depression so she went 2 rehab =[ no no no come back dunst. Good news is that i imdb'd her and shes in a new movie with ryan gosling this year though so yayyyyy hopefully she'll b back in hollywood movies 4 good. Lol and then there's transformers 2 (once again THATS NOT THE TITLE im just lazy right now and need 2 go eat dinner and then c a play about Deborah Franklin the wife of Benjamin Franklin fmfl). No real reason y i bought it cuz it is a huge huge huge disappointment when compared 2 its predecessor but, well, megan's in it soooo.....i like need it (surprisingly i dont even have transformers 1 on dvd =O). Theres also no arguing that the special effects r still extraordinary in the sequel. Also i no its overlong, loud, and has a horrific screenplay (and is also silly cuz Shia LaBeouf portrays a new college freshman and IT IS SO FREAKIN OBVIOUS that labeouf is 22 years old and not 18, same with Megan. I also imdb'd the guy who plays LaBeouf's roommate in the movie (hence also a freshman) and he was born in 1979 =O o come on casting ppl thats bad) but the movies still fun 2 watch no doubt. I mean the action scenes r deafining (wow i spelled that wrong) but its a great movie 2 keep on the tv while ur doing stuff. I SHOULD BRING IT 2 SENIOR WEEK 2!!!!!! Aww so excited now.

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

2010-04-06T23:05:00.003-04:00

Watched an old but very popular oscar-nominated 1988 Pedro Almodovar film called Mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios. Very good enjoyed it completely. It's a prime example of a farcical comedy and its weird cuz i feel like Almodovar doesn't really make farces n e more they're mostly a lot more serious and complex storylines (like Broken Embraces, Talk to Her, All About My Mother, Bad Education, I no i say these all the time but thats bcuz i want all u guyz 2 c them!!!!!!!! ONLY ME AND ANNIE HAVE SO GO C THEM!!!!!!!!) The movie's very slapsticky and screwball comedyish which makes it very entertaining 2 watch. Carmen Maura is wonderful in it and Maria Barranco is hot hot hot. Antonio Banderas is also in the movie. I also dont mean 2 judge a book by its cover but quite possibly the most unattractive woman of all time stars in it. Her name is Rossy de Palma. I dare u 2 google image her name. Even more shocking is the fact that she's apparently a model 2 =O

Mitten Hall

2010-04-06T15:04:00.002-04:00

On the positive side however something great did happen last nite. I GOT LAID! No no. Ladies and gentlemen I officially went on my very 1st ghost investigation. @ the meeting yesterday we went on a little field trip 2 1 of the Temple University buildings called Mitten Hall. There isn't, like, a deadly history with it its not like there was a massacre in the building but we still decided 2 go there cuz it's very old and does look like paranormal-potential. So we all went in2 the main room with our EMF meter, which, (pic is @ the top) spikes up when electromagnetic fields r detected. I think i quickly spoke about them b4 but if u put the meter near an electrical source like a light bulb or an air conditioner then of course its gonna spike up; even if ur phone vibrates in ur pocket it'll spike up. There4 u gotta really really b skeptical when it does spike up cuz u gotta c if theres n e electrical source thats causing it. So n e way we went in2 the main room, placed it on a circular table and sat around it. We asked some questions "We don't wanna hurt u can u move this meter can u walk past it can u wave @ it?" It soon started spiking up uncontrollably. We put it near electrical things and it wouldn't go up @ all which was really weird. It was so exciting and awesome! So that night my 2 friends and me, Michele and Danielle, we all decided 2 go back last nite and investigate Mitten Hall some more. I brought my EVP recorder and daniele (who's also a film major) brought her night-vision camera. The main hall of Mitten Hall was 2 packed with ppl so we decided to go upstairs. THERE WAS LIKE NO1 THERE VERY CREEPY. We found a really really really really really creepy storage room and decided 2 investigate there. Then the shit went down and it went real real down. We caught a lot of orbs on camera which was awesome and we also caught an audible bang on the recorder. Perhaps the creepiest moment was when we packed up 2 leave the room and the second we were about 2 leave the room im serious i heard a man groan like "HUHH" in the back of the room. Well it startled me so much that i raced out of the room and michele and danielle followed me. The hair on my skin went up so much. We went back immediately and got nothing. Yet again the second we were about 2 leave again we heard what sounded like wood chips falling from the wall. Very very very great investigation. This person that was in the room with us i think really was tricking with us. We kept asking again and again and again 2 show himself and speak in2 the recorder and such. The second we say that we're leaving i hear a very very audible male groan coming from the back. Also again when we say we're leaving we hear what sounds like wood chips falling on2 the ground. So exciting and terrific. We're doing it again 2nite! I'll def post again hopefully it'll go as well as it did last night.

PS the room @ the top IS the main room that we investigated @ the meeting but is not the storage room that me danielle and michele investigated @ night. That is also, obviously, a real pic of Mitten Hall.

Blah

2010-04-06T14:46:00.002-04:00

Ugh the last 2 days have been a stressful surreal blur. I feel like I'm dreaming right now. Am I here right now or is this a dream? Wow that was really deep. Theres this huge problem that i've been having with some1 that has been making me wanna scream @ the top of my lungs in annoyance, anger, rage, etc. but i cant explain it here cuz he or she might c it (idk if he or she even knows that i have a blog but still). If u wanna no whats going on right now then text or call me and i can explain it 2 u (i'd actually like some1 2 do that cuz it'll make me feel better. I need 2 get my rage out right now. I haven't been able 2 concentrate on n e thing the last few days.) The realization that i have a million kajillion sextillion essays/tests coming up has hit me already but @ the same time i feel like it kinda hasn't. I still need 2 interview the rabbis. My teacher let the due date (which is this thursday) 4 me b postponed cuz none of the rabbis or pastors could interview until april 6th (uhh, 2day) cuz of the holidays and like an idiot my teacher made this field research project b due this thursday 4 every1? Real smart dude wow its great that ur teaching. I also had a reenactment of the Expectations and Reality split-screen scene from (500) Days of Summer 2 weeks ago in class. I raised my hand and told the teacher out loud in front of every1 that the essay must b postponed cuz none of the churches/synagogues/whatever r available 2 interview cuz of the holidays. What I expected was every1 in the class 2 get up from their seats almost and yell in anger @ him and agree with me and then he'd immediately say "Ok it's ok i'll postpone it." Instead in my reality positively no1 said n e thing 2 support my argument AT ALL. Thanks guyz i love u with all my heart =( I also have a media and culture 6 page paper due in a few weeks fmfl. And an art history quiz soon. And though i nicely filmed my final project 4 film already i still need 2 edit it and that'll take a while. Everything is falling apart right now and its gotta stop. I WANT MY MOMMY!

Ponyo

2010-04-04T22:44:00.005-04:00

N e body ever seen Ponyo?! It came out last year and is directed by a man they call the "Japanese Walt Disney," Hayao Miyazaki. He's made other movies that r quite popular with a lot of people like Spirited Away (which won best animated feature film in 2003) and Howl's Moving Castle (2006). Ponyo is an anime film ALL HAND-DRAWN ANIMATION (like the olden days with beauty and the beast and mulan and pocahontas, etc.) (actually there might b some computer animation but n e way) and it features the voices of Tina Fey, Matt Damon, Liam Neeson, Cate Blanchett, Cloris Leachman, Betty White, Lily Tomlin, Frankie Jonas (1 of the brothers) and Noah Cyrus (Miley's sister). The movie's splendid. It proves that though pixar animation and other computer animation is excellent and beautiful 2 watch u can also find beauty in hand-drawn animated movies as well because Ponyo is absolutely stunning 2 watch. It's a kid's movie, yes, but its sooooooooo adorable and imaginative. It's about a cute little Japanese boy and his mother (Fey) and 1 day he finds a goldfish in the ocean and decides 2 keep it but the goldfish (which is Ponyo, obviously) is daughter 2 the power of the sea or something like that, played by Neeson and after she licks and heals a cut that the boy gets on his finger she becomes human and falls in love with him. It's a totally loving, whimsical, beautiful, and nicely-voiced G-rated family film with a terrific storyline. 4 stars. More kids should no about this movie its totally suitable and great 4 them.

High Masks photos

2010-04-04T22:44:00.002-04:00

I just posted some "production photos" of High Masks on facebook. Many of them r kinda crappy and effed up but they're still good.

High Masks (cont. 2)

2010-04-04T19:45:00.002-04:00

Now the funny moments that occurred during filming i'll remember 4 a long time. I already posted it quickly but there was 1st Sean McLaughlin, who looked exactly like Annie from Annie the musical and even better he plays a russian woman which is even funnier (and he has a great russian accent 2. Emily is Sean part-Russian?). Emily was also funny being dressed up as a tranny. There was also the reese/lawrence scene which made us all cry in laughter (or just me @ least). Reese has 2 jump into lawrence's arms except when we 1st shot it lawrence had trouble picking her up and it is the most awkward hug of all time and its soooooo funny. Reese also pretends 2 blow Lawrence which was great. Even better when we were filming my 3 year old redhead next door neighbor whos bilingual (english/italian) was on the grass watching us the entire time and lawrence and reese were like seriously irritated by the fact that they're pretending 2 b performing a fellatious act and a little baby is watching singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star like the little girl from Poltergeist. Then there was shannon, sarah, jake and jon as the high people. It was seriously 1 of the funniest moments of my life. Emily and Sean pretend 2 stack them up all on top of 1 another in a closet and when they put jake in his legs lifted up and his ass went right on top of sarah's face. N e 1 seen I Now Pronounce U Chuck and Larry? Remember the scene when adam sandler and kevin james rescue the fat guy in the fire in the beginning but they fall down the stairs and the fat guy's ass lands right on top of sandler's face? Yep. That's pretty much what happened 2 sarah. Funniest moment of my life. I took a picture of it and i think it's in the shot 2. I'll without a doubt put it on facebook get ready 2 poop ya pants laughing. It was also just funny that i had Shannon and Sarah put themselves in the weirdest positions ON MY PARENTS BED. Yep. We filmed in my parent's room the reason being that my room had like negative 235823550923475 shooting space and there was more space in the folk's bedroom. It wasn't awkward i mean they didnt like go under the covers where my parents play In Out In Out. Plus i dont think that n e of them recognized my father's playboys next 2 the bed and wall. Hopefully they didnt. Well actually they probs did cuz i mentioned it the second they walked in2 the room. Stupid Matt. I really really really wanna edit soon except i need 2 go interview some rabbis this week. ERGHHHHHHHHHH I DONT WANNA DO THAT. Also im going home again this weekend cuz its my b-day next week but i cant celebrate it with my folks cuz i have 2 go the art museum 4 my art history field trip (ITS MANDATORY DAMMIT) and i cant go home the week after that cuz my parents'll b in St. Barths. They're taking me out 2 an italian place this friday nite and then saturday afternoon we're gonna go 2 nifitie fiftie's hopefully =D =D =D yummy that place seriously makes me climax every time i eat there. They should make a sign: R U A BOY BUT AND WANNA HAVE SEX BUT DONT WANNA GET A GIRL PREGNANT? R U A GIRL AND DONT WANNA GET PREGNANT BUT WANNA HAVE SEX? IS UR NAME BRUCE? (haha no thats just from the movie Bruce Almighty) THEN COME ON DOWN 2 NIFTIE'S! NO PENETRATION. NO CONDOMS. AND NO RISK OF PREGNANCY. N e way i also have 2 interview the reconstructionist synagogue in media. God dammit when this religion class is over im gonna run over 2 reese black and hug her until the end of time and then we'll both fall into the ocean and a shark will eat us. Idk.

High Masks (cont.)

2010-04-04T19:36:00.003-04:00

Well i need 2 talk more about what happened saturday cuz theres so much 2 talk about! Jake also helped out with 1 of the props i 4got 2 mention that in the last post so once again thank u jakey and im still unbelievably jealous that u got 2 meet a famous person just a few hours ago. What i'd like 2 talk about is y i thought it was a totally fun but many times grueling process. It was simply just cuz i needed 2 film a lot of footage in 1 day and ppl had 2 go home so i had 2 rush and the problem is that it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad when u need 2 rush filming a movie with lots of footage. Also this movie, High Masks, isn't a feature-length movie it's only like 10 mins max. but still there's a lot of footage and i need 2 always give at least 2 takes of the same scene 4 editing reasons. So pretty much it was just the rushing that irritated me a bit and also i mean i did get a little 2 exhausted 2 cuz we were running all over the place outside and inside. But still it was great i mean i didnt hate filming it was a lotta fun and a ton of funny moments happened. It was also just grueling personally 4 me cuz a few of my shots didnt work out well cuz the main setting, my parent's bedroom, has like zero space so it was hard 4 me 2 just place the tripod in certain parts of the room. Plus i mean i admit i am a very naive first-time real filmmaker so im still not used 2 the tripod and the microphone 2 and even the camera. I mean this is all the 1st time i've really used all this stuff. The camera cooperated but the tripod kept screwing me and like an idiot i kept 4getting 2 turn on the mic so we had 2 run 2 scenes twice (the 2nd 1 wasn't bad but the 1st scene we did like 50 times and then we had 2 do it again!). But it all turned out well cuz now i no how 2 work everything so much more (next problem is final cut though :/).

High Masks!

2010-04-04T19:18:00.002-04:00

First off sry I haven't posted in a while i left my laptop charger @ school and i can use the computer @ home except idk how 2 import photos on2 my posts so ehhhhh i thought i'd wait till sunday evening. So! I went home last friday 2 film High Masks on saturday. Friday nite i hung out con mi madre and we watched Gran Torino (2008); love that movie so good so sad and brutal but great. How did filming High Masks go? Well, it was a helluva lotta fun and i enjoyed it except i admit it was very very grueling 2 shoot the whole movie in 1 day. So thursday nite i get a facebook message from Lindsey Berlin (basically 1 of the main characters in the movie) that she can't come until later in the day.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LINDSEY WTF!!! Y DIDNT U TELL ME EARLIER!!!!!! So that sucked. I couldn't film until later cuz i had 2 get it over with cuz many of the cast members had stuff 2 do later in the day. Even better right b4 12:30, which is when every1 was supposed 2 come over, i get a text message from Gwyn that she has the fever and can't do it and she's also 1 of the main characters in it.....Well i pretty much jumped out the window when she said that and sprained my achilles tendon yes yes yes i understand ur sick and u cant help it obviously i understand that but still i mean ur like screwing up everything by not coming =(. ERghh so ok everything was going in2 the shitter @ first but it got better. Angela Wolf let me borrow her mic holder jack thingy idk how 2 describe wat its called but i dont have 1 so she let me borrow hers; such an angel. Also freaked out a bit cuz whenever i import footage on2 my laptop on2 final cut THERE IS NO AUDIO. 1st i thought my camera was screwed up but u can hear the audio when u playback on the actual camera so it cant b the camera it must b the laptop. Ok blah blah blah so N E WAY! Who was in the movie? Well Lawrence Weathers was and he did an excellent job. Jon Friestedt was supposed 2 take his role but he had work @ 4:15 and i didnt wanna risk it (and thank god jon wasn't the main character cuz we finished filming @ like 5). Lawrence wasn't even supposed 2 have a speaking role; he was just supposed 2 b an extra. I could c him in the role and i asked him if he'd like 2 b in it and he said yes so GOD BLESS U WAWRENCE LEATHERS i love u. He really was such a lifesaver i hope i didnt annoy him or n e body else as a director. Jon Friestedt was still in the movie but he had a quick cameo in it. He has a very funny WTF scene involving a butt and a bathroom. He was also a lifesaver cuz he volunteered 2 go out 2 a nearby drug store and buy 9 voltage batteries 4 my microphone (god im so disorganized and naive with filmmaking). U seriously saved my life 2 Jonny boy i love u (lol i dont think he knows i have a blog but n e way). Sarah Birch, Shannon Boyle, and Jake Donnelly were also extras in the film and they worked so hard 4 me and i love them 2 death thank u guyz. Though they had nonspeaking roles and all they had 2 do was pretend 2 b high it was hard 4 them cuz they had 2 wear these Halloween masks that were hard 2 breath in but they pulled it through and nailed it. Rianna Black starred as Lawrence's sex interest and she did a wonderfully sexy job 2 great job reese thank u. The real heroes of the show however were lawrence, emily butz and sean mclaughlin. Well lawrence i already mentioned but Sean, like lawrence, wasn't even supposed 2 have a speaking role but he gladly took over gwyn's role and nailed it 2. He's so funny in it and he looks just like Annie from the musical Annie! its so funny. Emily Butz was also brave enough 2 take over lindsey's role as the sister and the killer tranny and shes terrific in it 2. So if n e of u guyz r reading this and u were in my movie, I no i've thanked u a thousand times but i just need 2 thank u again u guyz were such lifesavers and hopefully this movie will turn out terrifically and i will try and put it on facebook as soon as im done editing it and yes lawrence i will try and make a trailer if i have time.

Gay week

2010-04-01T14:06:00.002-04:00

Man a lot of celebrites have been coming out lately. This week Ricky Martin finally came out and said he was gay "4 the sake of his children." I seriously always knew he was gay there was just something about him that seemed 2 feminine and flamboyant. My mom's probably crushed about his coming out she had the biggest crush on him when he was big in the late 90's/early 2000's. LIVIN LA VIDA LOCA!!! Still love that song. Also shockingly i just found out on IMDB that Anna Paquin has come and said that she's bisexual =O i never new that Sookie was bi! She is getting married 2 True Blood co-star "Bill" Stephen Moyer (who's like 25 years older than her and apparently left his family 2 b with Anna =( thats kinda a jerky move Bill f u). Well now he needs 2 keep a better eye on whatever female she talks 2 when they're married. A lot of times i always feel like there's so many negative reactions when these celebrities come out. Whats the big deal? They're gay or bi who cares? It's not a crime or n e thing it's not like they got arrested 4 DUI or murder. Even though Lindsay Lohan is screwed up she got soooooooooooooooooooo much more negative responses from fans when it turned out she was with Samantha Ronson. But whats the big deal? She's gay (or bi i 4get which 1 she is. I think once she dated that guy from That 70's Show). Even worse was when Megan Fox came out and said she was bi and even Fergie. ITS NOT A BIG DEAL PEOPLE. I no Megan's extremely honest with the press and thats y she's always getting in the tabloids but so many more ppl reacted like "Ugh she's such a slut now that she's bi" and i get upset when ppl say that cuz it doesnt matter what her sexuality is. Megan really shouldn't get much disdain from people bcuz honestly she's never arrested 4 DUI she's never a huge drunk or party girl like that. Honestly she's pretty normal. She's just honest about what she thinks about certain things thats y some ppl hate her. But i really really respect that Fox isn't becoming a Lindsay Lohan or Britney Spears screw-up.

Fall 2010 Schedule

2010-04-01T00:21:00.002-04:00

Just registered 4 fall 2010 classes!!!! And it went so well cuz last semester it was a totally huge-ass bitch. Great news is that i get 2 take french =D =D =D =D i've been in total depression mode this whole school year cuz i haven't been able 2 take it. I was freaking out completely bcuz there were only 2 seats left and i got in =O phew that was such a close 1. That happened last semester so thats y this whole semester i've been so upset with my classes cuz i havent been speaking in french =( i feel like i 4get a lot of it. Crap. Well now i can speak it again !!!!!! Alrite n e way my other classes. I get 2 take this filmmaking class which im really really looking 4ward 2. If n e of u guyz dont no im filming a movie this saturday starting @ 12:30 chez moi (ahh i remember some french) and it stars jon friestedt, lindsey berlin, gwyn shumar, jake donnelly, reese black, sean mcglauglin, emily butz and shannon boyle and it's called High Masks and its gonna kick ass. Im so excited 2 make more movies this fall and hopefully the class'll b a lotta fun. I also get 2 take Film History =D its the same teacher of 1 of my film classes right now but hopefully it'll b better i mean i doubt i wont enjoy the class cuz i love love love film history with all my heart. The boring class that im not looking 4ward 2 taking is called Mosaic: Humanities Seminar I and its basically a philosophy/english/history/art class that all students @ temple need 2 take. I'll like what we'll b reading but im not looking 4ward 2 writing a ton of essays every day cuz it is a "sequel" 2 the english course that i took last semester. It might b fun though. I also get 2 take astronomy =D and =/ im sure its gonna b my most difficult class but i honestly dont care i've wanted 2 take astronomy 4 as long as i can remember (like seriously, since 2nd grade i think). The good thing is that its not an elective or n e thing its a GenEd class (do ur colleges have that 2? If they don't GenEd courses r like the required courses that temple students need 2 take and 4 the 2010-2011 year i need 2 take 2 science courses and this astronomy class is 1 of them). The other good news is that there r 2 teachers 2 the course and 1 of them is supposedly really bad but i didnt register 4 his class i registered 4 the other guy which is good.

The only controversy with my schedule is that there's this theater course that all theatre minors need 2 take called Production Practicum and technically its not really a course u just have 2 participate in 2 plays each semester =D which is like friggin awesome. Problem is that it didn't let me add it bcuz apparently i need, like, permission from a teacher or something? Idk but 1st off i haven't physically declared a minor in theatre yet so i need 2 do that 2mrrw bcuz perhaps if i do that it'll let me take it (it's also only a 1 credit course so it'll fit absolutely perfectly in2 my schedule). So far its ok 2 cuz there r 226 seats available. Hopefully it'll work out completely 2mrrw hopefully hopefully hopefully.

This is getting annoying

2010-03-31T22:14:00.004-04:00

I have a teacher who pronounces all words wrong. Today he pronounced controversy as CON-TROV-ER-SEE instead of CON-TRO-VER-SEE. Like seriously dude? Look i no its not a gigantic deal except its a gigantic deal cuz its extremely annoying. U R NOT SAYING THE WORD RIGHT SO STOP SAYING IT THE WAY UR SAYING IT! God it annoys me. How does this man pronounce other words? Well, he pronounces protagonist as PRO-TAJ-IN-IST instead of PRO-TAG-IN-IST and advertisements as AD-VER-TIS-MINTS instead of AD-VER-TIZE-MINTS. So help me god if he pronounces crayon as CROWN or CRAIN im gonna jump out the building window and then haunt him as a ghost and terrorize him by writing CRAY-ON all over his body with black sharpies. Man nobody has a sense of humor in that class. 2day we were talking about books that were censored in our middle school or elementary school and i talked about how this book called Out of Control (about a girl who gets gang raped in middle school) was like taken off the library cuz my mom read parts of it and didnt like it and i harmlessly joked that "she wasn't even Catholic." No no its not the funniest thing of all time but not even a chuckle or smil? C'mon. Positively every1 looked @ me in class like i was a psychotic murderer. IM JOKING PEOPLE. Im pretty sure i looked like i was joking cuz i was smiling when i said it sooo....I WAS JOKING!!!! Also in class i showed these 2 guys that i'd say im pretty close 2 joke around with those 2 pics i drew in my assignment book and put on facebook of "Peggy Sue" and "Sally" and they once again looked @ me like i was a complete moron. I understand that if i dont no u guyz and i show u a pic of 2 demonic Satanic twin sisters flipping u off with both hands then of course u'll look @ me funnilly but I NO U GUYZ. ITS OK 2 LAUGH IF I SHOW U A FUNNY PIC THAT I DREW. God this was an annoying day. 2 make it worse i gotta register 4 Fall 2010 @ midnight 2nite and i am not happy. Only 4 seats left in the French class i wanna take. There's another french class thats the same course and there r 7 seats left but its not @ the right time and if i get into that course it'll screw everything up. Y does God hate me? Dear God: I don't mean 2 joke about being a Wiccan of course im not a Wiccan and its not my fault i dont attend my Unitarian Universalist Church with Nick George n e more its just that i like movies more and i need 2 watch them on sunday mornings whether u like it or not. Please please please let 2nite work out 4 me please ;(

Edward Scissorhands, Mean Creek, and The Piano

2010-03-31T21:44:00.002-04:00

Went 2 FYE in center city b4 5:30-8:30 class and bought the buy 2 used DVDs get 3rd used 50% off deal. What r the movies? Look @ the title of this post. Im sure a ton of ppl don't don't know Edward Scissorhands, Tim Burton's 1990 classic with Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder (they dated 4 a while 2 =O). Poor Winona. U no what i really miss her. I totally admired her as an actress and loved her in all her movies; Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, Little Women (oscar nomination 4 that), The Age of Innocence (oscar nomination 4 that as well), The Crucible (ok actually i haven't seen that), and even Mr. Deeds with Adam Sandler I loved her in that 2. Y did she have 2 shoplift? Seriously ever since that event her career's gone totally downhill. She was in last year's Star Trek as Spock's mother, but i mean, what a great role ??? Her movie role b4 that was Sex and Death 101 i believe (o boy dont gemme started on that movie). N e way Edward Scissorhands is a great movie 2 own bcuz its such an imaginative, whimsical, funny, romantic, and real story about loneliness, love, and, uh, scissorhands. Love it.

Next movie I decided 2 buy was Mean Creek. It's a 2004 indie by writer/director Jacob Aaron Estes and more ppl should c it. Im not lying when i say that if u watch the movie trailer 4 it on youtube you'll b quite interested in seeing it. Who's in it? Well the 1 u'll recognize most is Drake from Nickelodeon's Drake and Josh, Drake Bell. Macaulay Culkin's little brother Rory's in it 2 (he's the son from Shyamalan's Signs (2002)). If u've seen 2004's Eurotrip then u'll recognize Scotty's in the movie 2 (SCOTTY DOESN'T KNOW! SCOTTY DOESN'T KNOW! Love that song). I dont even wanna describe the story of the movie bcuz its a bit detailed and im not in the mood 2 type cuz i've had a long nite. Also the storyline is what makes the movie work very well as well as the performances from these great young actors who r in it. I'll end by saying WATCH THE TRAILER ON YOUTUBE IT GETS U HOOKED.

The third movie i bought is the wonderful amazing 1993 oscar winner The Piano. I think its 1 of the best movies of all time and not just 1 of my favorites. Oscar winner Holly Hunter, a naked Harvey Keitel, Sam Neill and oscar winner 12 year old Anna Paquin (!!!!!) star in the movie and its directed by female genius director Jane Campion who made last year's terrific Bright Star and 2003's extremely hot In the Cut with the naked Meg Ryan, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Kevin Bacon. The movies unlike n e thing 1 will ever c; i dont think n e movie can compare 2 how utterly beautiful the movie and how much it teems with eroticism. I RECOMMEND THAT EVERY1 ON THE PLANET C THE MOVIE AND BUY IT AND WATCH IT A 2537092875019283 TIMES MORE. The images in the movie r unforgettable. Just look @ the pic @ the top of hunter and paquin on the beach with a piano. Can i please have a huge blown-up picture of that on my wall in my room?

Ugh

2010-03-30T15:44:00.002-04:00

Jesus Christ what an awful day. 4 those of u who aren't in or near the philadelphia region THERE IS A FRICKIN HURRICANE OUTSIDE. 2 make it even better my umbrella broke so now i have nothing 2 protect myself with. I like getting wet of course but now when its freezing outside that is the worst feeling of all time I feel drowning off the Titanic 4 pete's sake. When its hot outside i looooooovvvveeeeeee getting wet in the rain. I've had a cold 4 the past few days and haven't been able 2 sleep 4 the past 3 nights cuz im coughing my lungs out every 3 milla seconds and its painful. Yesterday in film class this chunky kid made fun of me when i jokingly asked him if Elmira Jeffries, the dorm building i'll b staying in next semester and the same place that he used 2 film his movie that he had just shown in class, was haunted. He responded like Kim Jong-Il "WELL.. UHH. YEA. BECAUSE, LIKE, WHEN PEOPLE DIE, THEY ALWAYS HAUNT WHEREVER THEY DIED." It was just a joke u stupid State Puff Marshmallow Man. I also 4got 2 post yet again that last week in media and culture i raised my hand and explained to 2 the teacher and the class something about how Fox News reporters are extremely conservative and r pretty much acting like columnists except I pronounced columnists as COLUM-NISTS instead of COLUM-ISTS. And I said it like 50 times and no1 bothered 2 correct me. Also last night i 2 yet again very strange dreams. I'll start with the 2nd 1 cuz it's less interesting. Me and every1 else from senior week part II like Matt, Nick, Nick, Nick, Wawrence, Natie, Suzie, Beese, and Jake, were gonna go golfing and we stopped at this golf shop and we were all gonna go in but only i went 1 and every1 else stayed in the car and left me 2 desperately look 4 u guyz and then i left the store in the back entrance and these 4 motorcycle hoodlums with tattoos started chasing me and u guyz just kept laughing @ me. It was quite sad. In my 1st dream all these killer birds started attacking my house and me except though they were birds they had regular-sized human heads and they were talking 2 me about how they were gonna pluck out my eyeballs and stuff. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO weird.

O yea, and i have an art history test 2mrrw and i cant study that much 2nite cuz i need 2 c a play @ the wilma theatre on avenue of the arts =-D fmfl

I guess the positive news is that im real excited 2 investigate @ Fort Mifflin in a few weeks. @ our meeting last nite we watched the Ghost Hunters episode where they investigated it and some real crazy creepy stuff happened. CANT WAIT! The scariest and most exciting place im anticipating is Casemate 11. It's an underground solitary confinement place @ fort mifflin and the atmosphere is supposed 2 b so intense and terrifying. It's a very narrow room and it even gets quite hard 2 breath. 1 of the guys on ghost hunters was down there and he saw a human face right in front of him. So scary. That pic @ the top is of casemate 11.

Another positive thing is that Megan's been cheering me up a bit with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Man that's a bad movie but OMG its so sexy.

The Seventh Seal

2010-03-28T21:23:00.003-04:00

I finally watched an Ingmar Bergman movie! Bergman is considered 1 of the greatest directors of all time and many many many modern-day directors claim that he's their favorite (Woody Allen's obsessed with him, 4 example). Bergman was Swedish, and thus, well, only made Swedish movies. The Seventh Seal came out in 1957 and is considered a world cinema classic. It's made fun of many times in modern movies and tv; in (500) Days of Summer they make fun of it when Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in the movie theater and he imagines himself playing chess with the little boy a.k.a. Death. In the movie Max von Sydow (still alive nowadays :O he's like 100 years old) plays a knight returning from the Crusades with his Squire during the Middle Ages @ the time that the Plague has ravaged society. He meets "Death" literally, well the personification of Death 2 sound more scholarly. He's pretty much dressed just like the Grim Reaper. He and Death decide 2 start a game of chess on the beach and if the Knight wins then he'll get 2 live but if he loses than Death will "take him." The knight and squire leave the beach and meet up with a bunch of other characters; a traveling actor and his wife and baby son (who's so adorable in it!!!!!), a shy/quiet but extremely hot servant girl whose loved 1s have been killed by the plague, another woman who idk how 2 describe her status and a woman who's gonna get burned 4 being a witch =O The movie is fascinating; the dialogue, the cinematography, the use of light/dark effects (CHIAROSCURO!!!!! KUNTZ! HUMANITIES!), the locations (i think it was filmed in Sweden, hence y its swedish. Wow i've said swedish like a million times in this post). It's a very very very very very very very existential and religious-based story (Bergman wrote the movie 2). In fact idk if i even understood it entirely. Existentialism always confuses me a bit. There r different concepts 2 existentialism right? I think the main concept of the movie is that there is no God and no figure from any supernatural realm can save us if we're about 2 die; praying is useless. There's a terrific scene in the movie where as the witch is getting burned the squire tells the knight that all she's seeing as she's dying is "emptiness." She is not being touched by God or even Satan 4 that matter. Some of the images in the movie r rememberable. And shockingly i just dictionary.com'd rememberable and it really is a word.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

2010-03-28T15:15:00.002-04:00

Alrite if n e body reading this post has a chance 2 watch this trailer 4 michael cera's new movie then U MUST DO IT BCUZ THIS MOVIE LOOKS C.R.A.Z.Y. weird but really cool though. I think it's from a popular comic book series.

Natie Ghost Dream

2010-03-28T14:55:00.004-04:00

I also 4got 2 post that i had the strangest funniest dream the other day. Natie and her sister Laura told me that their house was haunted and that they kept seeing a little girl in different rooms. Natie said that she was in the bathroom and the little girl was in the corner of the room and then she vanished; laura opened up a closet and the little girl was hiding at the top of it staring down at her. It was real strange 2 cuz Laura kept changing into Dakota Fanning but then she would bcome Laura again and then Dakota back and forth back and forth. Then in my dream Laura and Natie turned out all the lights in the house and walked around with an EVP recorder and started asking the spirit questions. Next thing i no im in their kitchen with them and Natie and Laura r, like, extremely freaked out. They show me what they recorded and in 1 part of the recording they ask the spirit what she wants and the spirit responds extremely clearly "BEANIE BABY!" And then we all screamed when we listened 2 it. Then in another part of the recording they ask the spirit where she is and she responds something i dont really remember but i think she's like "UNDER THE TOILET!" or something. It was sooooooo strange and i woke up laughing. Who would have thought that i would have a dream where Natie contacts a spirit who lives under a toilet and wants a beanie baby? O yea and @ the end of my dream Laura turned into Dakota permanently and then we made out on Natie's couch =D

Ed Wood

2010-03-27T16:37:00.004-04:00

Ed Wood is a 1994 Tim Burton movie and surprisingly the movie honestly doesnt feel like a Burton movie @ all bcuz its not, well, as weird and surreal and bizarre as his other movies normally r. Johnny Depp's in it, which i guess makes it look Burtonian but Depp isn't playing a crazy (Willy Wonka, The Mad Hatter, Edward Scissorhands) character instead he plays a real-life person who existed in the world and although this person was extremely weird he wasn't crazy. He plays, hence the title, Edward D. Wood, Jr., a man who has been credited as being the worst director of all time. He made movies in the days of the 20th century when Hollywood was big and they were ridiculous; exploitative, stupid, badly-acted, badly-made, all of the above. Examples of the movies he made: Glen or Glenda (a 1953 movie about transvestism), Jail Bait, Bride of the Monster, and his most famous bad 1 Plan 9 from Outer Space. Later on in his life he started making porno flicks. Depp is fantastic as Ed Wood he's funny, quirky, and so good @ playing such a loser-film director. In the movie and in real life Ed Wood was a cross-dresser; he was strait but he loved 2 dress up into women's clothes while he was making his movies on the set. Such a weirdo. Wood also worked with and was good friends with Bela Lugosi, a.k.a. Dracula. If u've ever seen clips or pics of the 1931 Dracula film then the guy who is playing Dracula was Bela Lugosi and in real life he was a heroin addict (and i believe died of that 2). In the movie Martin Landau plays Lugosi and won an oscar 4 supporting actor 4 the movie; he's terrific in it and does such a good impersonation of Bela Lugosi. Sarah Jessica Parker, Bill Murray, and Patricia Arquette also star in the movie 2. I really recommend u guyz c the movie its hilarious and very very entertaining a tiny bit slow @ first but then it gets better. The pic @ the top is a real pic of Ed Wood in women's clothing from Glen or Glenda.

Ally, the melting plastic fork and the crazy Muslim

2010-03-27T16:18:00.004-04:00

A few crazy things have happened 2 me that i've 4gotten 2 post about. 1st off a few days ago i was making EasyMac @ night and when i mixed the cheese powder stuff into the burning hot water and macaroni the plastic fork that i was using started 2 melt! Im serious. It was crazy. Has this ever happened 2 n e 1 else there4 its not a big deal or is this a big deal? Bcuz i personally have never encountered a melting plastic fork b4. Something even stranger happened yesterday after my 4:10 class. 4 my religion class i have 2 go on 5 field trips and this week @ temple is Islam Awareness Week so everyday @ 4:30 in the Tuttleman Learning Center they were having a presentation a day about something/speakers would come in and if u attend it then it counts as a field trip =D So I'd gone on 2 of the field trips the whole week and had already gone on 1 in late february so i decided 2 go on my 4th 1 after media arts yesterday. The speaker was this extremely deeply religious Muslim woman who wrote this book about her "journey" around the world 2 get closer 2 Allah. She was pretty wild; i've honestly never been in the same room with some1 who is so unbelievable and uncontrollably religious. She was extremely annoying actually. She would not shut up about what she did and literally repeated the same thing 524589720934857029834 times the entire hour and a half. I had my laptop with me in the room and while she was talking i quietly put it back in my backpack. Then suddenly she saw me do it and interrupted what she was saying and asked me "If I truly did have a question about my journey bcuz it looks like I wanted 2 raise my hand." BAHAH!! It was so embarrassing I honestly just looked @ her with confused eyes and was like "....No." I didn't like that she did that 2 me it was embarrassing. I wasn't being loud or n e thing and i was listening i just wanted 2 put my laptop away sry lady. Sitting right behind me was a Japanese kid who was asleep on his laptop the whole entire time and she didn't call on him.

"Actually Muslim lady I do have a question. When I do go on my journey you're not gonna b near me r u bcuz if u were then i'd kill myself immediately =D also im pretty sure that Allah finds u 2 b an obnoxiously annoying religious twit."

I'm also over my That's So Raven obsession. It was just phase; u guyz no me i always go into these little phases with obsessive movies or tv shows. I'm not obsessed with Ally McBeal, that show that ran in the late 90s until 2002. Is it a girl show? No i honestly dont think it is just bcuz its title and main character is a woman played by Calista Flockhart (girlfriend of Harrison Ford, star of that ABC show Brothers and Sisters) does not make it a girl show. Its all about a bunch of lawyers living in Boston and the cases they receive and how they deal with their lives and everything. THE SHOW IS HILARIOUS. It's so quirky and wild and slapsitcky and all the actors r so great. The funniest star is Peter MacNicol who im sure the only movie u'll recognize him in was the 1997 movie version of Mr. Bean with Rowan Atkinson entitled Bean; he's so funny. Jane Krakowski (Jenna from 30 Rock) is in it 2 as well as Lucy Liu from Charlie's Angels and the funny black girl from the Scary Movie trilogy and even Robert Downey Jr., Taye Diggs, James Marsden, Hayden Panettiere, Anne Heche, Bon Jovi, Christina Ricci, and other stars were on the show 4 a while 2 and were great as well. O yea and Portia de Rossi, Ellen DeGeneres's wife, is on it 2 and i admit shes a very very attractive woman Ellen is lucky. From 4th grade 2 5th grade i would always watch Ally McBeal with my family every monday nite from 10-11 PM. During those years i became an insomniac and had 2 c a therapist =( but i got better =D 5th grade was hard cuz 9/11 happened and it was such a rough year 4 every1.

Your mom has chest hair, Jesus

2010-03-26T14:42:00.008-04:00

Dearest Jesus, y r u being such a pain in the ass? You're ruining everything 4 me. I need 2 interview a Pastor @ 3 Protestant congregations in Philly but bcuz of ur dumbass Passover and Easter holidays those damn pastors ain't got no time in their schedule 2 squeeze in a quick interview with me =D So thank you. No no no. I can't interview the pastors after April 8th becuz my 10 page essay on the interviews is due that day sweetie. Jesus, I also have 2 deal with a gigantic SAT-style Art History test next wednesday, a film I need 2 make thats due in about 2-3 weeks about an evil tranny, 5 plays i need 2 c in philly, and a powerpoint/6 page essay 4 my media and culture class. I dont have n e time. I need 2 get these damn interviews over with. But nope! I can't bcuz of u and ur damn celebrations. Did i do something 2 upset u? I didnt mean 2 call Joseph a fudgepacker but he's just always trying 2 grab my butt it gets so annoying. AND HOW MANY TIMES can i say how sry i am 4 playing chess with Satan. Im sry dude he just has some really good dope. Therefore Jesus, I no ur wounds still hurt from the crucifixion and im sry that ur mothers a whore and ur best friend betrayed u but stop ruining everything 4 me!!!!!

The Last Emperor

2010-03-26T13:26:00.002-04:00

The Last Emperor is that Academy Award winning movie that hardly n e 1 knows about. It came out in 1987, is directed by the marvelous director Bernardo Bertolucci (he made the excellent NC-17 rated Last Tango in Paris (1971) as well as the other NC-17 movie The Dreamers (2003)), and won 9 academy awards including best picture and director. The movie's a masterpiece. It's about the "last emperor" who ruled China, Puyi. He began ruling when he was 3 years old :O! Amazing. The movie traces his history of rule and his life after he was ruler. He had a pretty flawed life bcuz of course if he didnt then there wouldn't b a movie. His wife the Empress got addicted to opium and Puyi also had another wife and they sorta had a menage-a-trois relationship. I believe he becomes a puppet, like, emperor or something idk the right word of Japan. Japan and China were enemies and soon the Soviets captured him and brought him to a P.O.W. prison where he immediately slit his wrists but lived. Over 19,000 extras were used 4 the movie :O and it was the 1st movie that was allowed 2 b filmed in the Forbidden City. The only recognizable person in the movie is the adorable Peter O'Toole who plays a tutor to the emperor. John Lone and Joan Chen play the emperor and empress. Lone played the villain in Rush Hour 2 if u've seen that movie. Joan Chen was in Ang Lee's 2007 NC-17 rated Lust, Caution. The great thing about the movie is the way Bertolucci films it; it's indescribable. The cinematography and panning of the camera and overall atmosphere feels sooo.....smooth. I no thats not the right word but thats the best way i can describe it. It feels so serene and beautiful and relaxing; u never want the movie 2 end. The movie is 2 hours 40 minutes long but the original extended cut is 3 hours 40 minutes :O i do remember in 9th grade Ms. Abelson's global studies class we did watch a clip from the movie. Some of u guyz may have watched it in 9th grade with Mr. Nolen (i just vomited in my mouth) or n e other global studies teacher. The image of the little boy is from the movie and the other pic is a real pic of Puyi and the empress.

She's the Raven Channing

2010-03-24T22:24:00.004-04:00

Bought She's the Man 4 my sister (well, yea but also 4 me im sry i love that movie) 2day 4 a cheap price @ the glorious FYE in center city near my wednesday evening class. She's the Man's a fun movie 2 talk about. It's a cult movie; made like 0 bucks @ the box office but when it got released on DVD some ppl saw it, and then more, and then more, and then the whole world basically. It was also that movie that pretty much got Channing Tatum recognized more; and sadly 4 the rest of his movies he must remain shirtless and not actually have the chance 2 get serious with a role. Then again that kinda came out wrong i dont think channing tatums a horrible actor as some ppl say he is i just think he hasn't gotten a serious role yet. I mean its true that all these producers ever want him 2 do is take off his shirt. Though Dear John got mostly mediocre reviews some critics did admire Tatum that he's getting better roles (even though he's shirtless in the movie and even worse with my Amanda, which makes me wanna break his neck =0) I actually thought he was quite good in 2006's A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, an indie movie with Shia LaBeouf, Robert Downey Jr., Chazz Palminteri, Dianne Wiest, Melonie Diaz, and Rosario Dawson. And i also thought he was fine in Stop-Loss (2008) with Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Meryl Streep's daughter Mamie! Sometimes he just picks bad roles, namely G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Step Up. Just a side note Step Up 3, which is set 2 hit theaters this year, is in 3-D......u gotta b kidding me. I just want every1 2 no as well that theres no "deep" meaning y im obsessed with the 1st 2 seasons of That's So Raven on youtube. I just think it's really funny idk if its just me. Sure sure sure it does get dumb @ times i mean c'mon it is a disney channel show. I do admit that it's just the constantly repetitive use of dancing and black stereotypes that gets annoying @ times. But i gotta admit, Raven-Symone makes me laugh a lot she's a real comic. So that's the reason y: i just think the 1st 2 seasons of That's So Raven r funny episodes (only up until Cory's balls drop a.k.a. season 3 and 4). What i love about each episode is how clumsy, slapsticky and crazy it gets.

Nights of Cabiria

2010-03-24T11:12:00.002-04:00

Finally finished the second 2 last Federico Fellini movie that i need 2 watch. It's called Nights of Cabiria (1957) (is Italian 2, obviously if it's a Fellini film) and won the best foreign film at the academy awards in '58. It stars the wonderful Giulieta Masina (Fellini's wife in real-life, also the star of La Strada) and is about an unhappy prostitute living near Rome who tries to better her life. According to wikipedia the musical Sweet Charity was based off of it. I loved the movie. Masina is such an amazing actress u can't take ur eyes off her. It's a wonderful and simple storyline 2 much unlike Fellini's 2 other movies 8 1/2 and La Dolce Vita, which strive more 4 thematic interpretations on things in society or society itself and such. Many scenes r beautifully photographed and some scenes possess such amazing Surrealism u can't help but realize how Fellini is such a genius director. The ending of the movie, like La Strada's (SPOILER ALERT!) is very sad yet its very happy in a way 2. The ending of Nights of Cabiria did make me smile even though at the same time it was a bit of a downer. I think if u no or have seen Sweet Charity onstage or the actual movie with Shirley MacLaine (which came out in '69) then u no what im talking about. Just 1 more Fellini film and I'm done. It's called Satyricon and though it didn't win best foreign language film (infact idk if it was even nominated) Fellini did get a best director nomination 4 it so i feel it's worth seeing.

I'm back!

2010-03-23T21:41:00.003-04:00

Wow I'm finally posting after like a week. Sry guyz i've been having the past 2 weeks from hell like seriously i have never been so dumped on (and yes, i mean poop) by college in workload. 3 midterms last week! And they were all terrible (well actually 1 was quite easy but i dont wanna say it cuz i dont wanna jinx it but i guess its ok cuz i just knocked wood on my desk right next 2 my laptop =D)) Plus i had a quiz (a.k.a. test) in my art history class and i totallyyyyyyy bombed it and it sucks cuz i studied all day. I saw 3 plays last week 2. 4 my theater class i saw this 2 man show called Blue Door right next 2 the market-frankford line on 2nd street in philly (i 4get what the theaters called). Very very very unique play but quite frankly i hated it cuz the 2 guys in the play spoke their lines SOOOOOOOOOO frickin fast i had no idea what the hell they were saying or what the play was even about from start 2 finish. The next play i saw friday night was Rent performed by Temple @ the tomlinson theater. It was good i mean it was like 2 and half hours long on a friday night so i was kinda ehhhh i wanna go home or go partay but the music's so good in the play. To be honest idk if i've just been stupid 4 a while but i never acknowledged what the overall theme of Rent was; no day but 2day (a.k.a. u can die n e day so u should live life like it's ur last and get stoned and drunk and partay woot woot!!!!). Well, i guess thats the theme. The singing was good idk i kinda wished that the actress who played Mimi could have sang better and i also wish that the actors who played Roger and Collins could have ACTED better but still it was fun if not tedious. The girl who played Maureen im not lying looked exactly like Ashley Titsdale except she was a brunette. She was the best in the show; sang terrifically and got the most laughs. I went home saturday morning cuz i had a job interview @ Qdoba's in springfield and plus my sis was coming home 4 the week from PSU cuz she felt bad 4 my family and i cuz she didnt c us all over spring break (she was in florida and burned her eyelids lmfao). Saturday afternoon was the interview :O no no it went fine the guy seemed nice and hopefully he saw that im a dedicated worker i tried my best 2 show that (hell the whole time i acted like i was talking 2 a cop. I was sitting in an upright posture talking 2 him and was coughing ever so gently with my fist like an 18th century madame. Hopefully he doesnt think im gay.). I was by Target so i bought my sister the 3-disc New Moon DVD and she payed me back when i got home (she just watched it last nite. Still Team Edward but her friend Mary is Team Jacob :O catfight! Edwards really annoying and effing creepy and irritating and weird but Jacob is like a total nerd and is like 12 years old and talks like Kevin from the office. Plus, well, Bellas weird and socially retarded 2 so i guess she and edward get along more). OK N E WAY!!! I got Zac's 4 lunch that day 2, got a free vanilla Rita's (1st day of spring!!!), and then had tacos 4 dinner. Then I went over 2 Penncrest and saw their production of The Pajama Game and 4 some absurd reason i keep thinking that the play is called The Pajama Party (which sounds kinda wrong the more u think about it). IT WAS GREAT!!!!! Seriously it was terrific. I do have 1 quick negative critique about 1 of the actors in the musical but i wont say it cuz i dont wanna offend or b mean and hell what if he/she googles my name and sees my blog and then reads about this :O somebody call 911! Shorty bitch trying 2 kill me on the Pajama floor!! Wow Oh Oh Oh!! Jon Friestedt was great and his other lead Shea Gaffney has a terrific singing voice sweet heavenly Jesus. Ian Pritchard's terrific and totally unrecognizable in it its scary (look @ pics of him on facebook from the show and you'll c it). Tres Moore, well, is pretty much just being Tres Moore in the show and he nails it. And Kathy Teal!? Who would have ever thought that this famous Penncrest costume designer could sing and act as amazing as she does in the show? Great job every1 u all deserve Oscars i mean it. They're now up against Corinne Donnelly 4 best actress 4 her awesome performance in Alice in Wonderland as well as Lindsey Berlin and Gwyn Shumar's drop dead hilarious performances in the same production as well 4 best supporting actress (also Emily Butz deserves a supporting actress nomination 4 alice in wonderland as well. She's so good as the queen of hearts (and yes she's quite sexy 2)).

I'm gonna post!

Romeo and Juliet

2010-03-17T00:05:00.002-04:00

Been obsessing with Romeo and Juliet movies lately. The Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge, the awful Australia) Romeo + Juliet with Leo DiCaprio and Claire Danes and the unnoticed 1968 Franco Zeffirelli version with Leonard Whiting (who im not jk strikingly resembles Zac Efron) and Olivia Hussey (Black Christmas!!!) Im sure a ton of people have seen the dicaprio/danes version which is SOOOOOOO AWESOMEEEEEEEE with its anachronistic setting and all but u may have watched the Zeffirelli version in 9th grade as well (baker's class only watched a clip) i remember a lot of word got around that JULIET IS TOPLESS :O :O :O in the movie and romeo is buttless. Every1 was like ahhhhhhh! Yes yes that's true but its not an inappropriate or dirty scene at all its completely beautiful; truly reminds us of how wonderful making love can b (well of course i wouldnt no obviously) with some1 that u r so madly in love with. Whiting, or i really should just call him a grown-up Efron, and Hussey (lol that just sounds funny what a bad last name) r so energetic and lively in the movie. They r just positively incapable of wanting each other so badly throughout the whole movie. It's so well-done so beautiful. I urge every1 2 c it. Who in the hell would have thought that i actually got sad by a Shakespeare play either? The ending of the Zeffirelli version is soooooooooo emotionally heart-wrenching it seriously does make u tear up. Stupid ass capulets and montagues y couldnt u just get along look what u did?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??! Assholes.

Alice in Wonderland

2010-03-15T23:13:00.002-04:00

So I already saw this with Warry and Gick and have already told some of u guyz what i thought of it but im real bored right now cuz im done studying 4 my religion midterm 2mrrw so im gonna write a quick review of it. So! Alice in Wonderland. This is a totally hit-or-miss movie; some ppl i no loved it, some just plain liked it and some hated it with a capital H capital A capital T capital E and capital D. Well, i loved it. As a critic i'd give it 3.5 stars out of 4 B+ grade. I enjoyed the movie completely just bcuz i thought it was soooooooooo much fun 2 watch. Yeah the screenplay feels a tiny bit choppy at times particularly in the ending of the movie and im also not sure @ all about the futter wagon dance that Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska do in the movie. Well i have 2 things 2 say about those 2 things (1 4 each. I just confused myself woops.) Well i deeply admired the screenplay bcuz it wasn't a direct remake of the animated Disney film. I loved how it was different and Alice is 19 (and hot) and the Red Queen has taken over and Alice has 2 fight the jabberwocky which is a giant dragon if u dont no. I personally just got a real kick out of it but i no that tons of people won't. Also if u do c the movie i wouldnt wry about the "futter wagon" dance. The dance is in like 2 scenes of the entire movie so dont sweat it. Plus the movie is directed by Tim Burton; yep, the guy who also did Edward Scissorhands, the uncomfortably creepy if not visually fantastic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sleepy Hollow, Sweeney Todd, and also creepy but great Beetlejuice. If u dont take the tiny bit choppily screenplay 2 seriously then im sure u'll totally enjoy the movie. The colors (and the cast 2 which i 4got 2 mention is great 2. Johnny Depp's great as always so is Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway (sry Dog and Natie i no u guyz hate her. I also found Wasikowska 2 terrificly possess the true persona of Alice) r just sooooooooo spellbindingly beautiful. It's an awesome 3-D experience. I'm not 2 sure if i would recommend the movie 4 absolutely every1 bcuz it is very hit-or-miss but i do no that u won't not b entertained by it if u do decide 2 c it.

Swimfan

Haha n e 1 heard or or even seen this 2002 film? It was free on demand over break so i watched it cuz i hadn't seen it in 4ever. It's a terrible movie mainly cuz its just suchhhhhhhhhh a weak thriller and is so unthrilling; woopsie i just repeated myself LMFAO!!!!!!!!!! The movie is pretty much the exact same movie as Fatal Attraction except its all high school teens and is PG-13 (even though the sex scene in the movie is actually pretty rough 4 a PG-13 and the penetration is quite graphic). Haha i cant believe i just said that. Even though it's a bad movie its that type of movie thats so much fun 2 keep on tv while ur doing something though. Like right now! As im writing this post im also watching swimfan via quicksilverscreen.com. So convenient. The main guy in it is this guy named Jesse Bradford and he was in that awesome movie Clockstoppers and was Kirsten Dunst's love interest in Bring It On if u saw that. He looks a lot like Donny Osmond.

The movies also hilarious cuz theres a character in the movie named Jake Donnelly! But sadly the whole movie he's in a coma and doesn't have n e lines.

My unusual attraction 2 "different" females

2010-03-15T22:31:00.002-04:00

So 2day in media arts this guy and i were talking about the runaways (which is coming out this friday !!!!!!!!!) and he said that he hates dakota fanning. Well i freaked out and murdered him! No im totally jk. He kinda got me thinking about how im attracted 2 so many "different" female celebrities in Hollywood. I just wanna lay everything strait and explain y i find some unusual female celebs so hot cuz im sick of getting looked @ like a moron whenever i casually mention "Oh yeah. Abigail Adams, the wife of John Adams, has smoking breasts!" (and no i dont believe that at all i need a real photograph of abigal 2 prove that). I mean sure i love megan fox so thats not "different" cuz tons of other guys and even girls love her. Wait y do i keep putting "different" in quotes? Crap i just did it again. When i mean different i just mean not the usual celebrity girls that every crazy opposite-sex attracted cinephile like me is. Well i do have a good reason 4 kristen stewart and im sure i've mentioned it a thousand times. I no she's socially retarded and weird but i find that so oddly attractive; that neurotic, fidgety, nervous/innocent-looking quality that she is always possessing both on and off screen. I know that's weird but hell i mean im weird 2. I just love her qualities bcuz it feels like if we were 2gether then I would always b in control bcuz she's 2 nervous and innocent 2 stand up. Crap no wait that totally came out wrong i sound like a murderer now. Y DO I KEEP STUTTERING?!?!?!? Haha the office stanley DID I STUTTER?! Ok n e way i just find her qualities so attractive bcuz 2 me it feels almost seductive in a way; it's as if she's going "Oh Matthew come protect me I'm so scared." Does that make sense. I no my girl-crush picks r controversial but thats the whole thing about kristen. Plus no no i dont think shes buck ugly or n e thing i think shes got a cute face and all. I hate her hair right now bcuz she, well, looks like joan jett which is kinda %*@!#)%*@)#% in a bad way. I felt the same way about Mia Wasikowska (a.k.a. Alice in Alice in Wonderland). She has those same qualities in the movie. I know Wawrence and Gick don't agree with me @ all about Wasikowska but its seriously just cuz they're not into 2 the same opposite-sex qualities as me. What about Dakota, my other controversial girl-crush? I think so many people r shocked @ that cuz they take Dakota Fanning 2 b like a 7 year old actress acting out as the daughter of a retarded Sean Penn in I Am Sam but PEOPLE SHE IS MORE GROWN UP. Well, 16 at least, and i dont think that makes me a pedophile or n e thing. Does it? I think its just that right now it seems weird cuz if we were dating now she'd b a sophomore in high school. It feels less weird i think if u imagine that im like 21 and she's like 19 or 18. Also theres nothing strange really about her; some ppl find her 2 b an obnoxious girl but i just don't. And i do think shes very pretty and i dont c how n e 1 would disagree with me. I think its just bcuz the connotative word DAKOTA FANNING is automatically linked 2 her as a child child child actress (and the little girl that controversially gets raped in Hounddog (2007) and the annoying claustrophobic Tom Cruise daughter in Spielberg's War of the Worlds (2005)). I think those girlz r about it: Mia, Kristen and Dakota. I no positively 0 people on the entire planet Earth seem 2 agree with me @ all that kristen stewart, dakota fanning, and mia wasikowska r attractive hot sexy bitches or whatever us strait males call them. It's just the way i feel though and i can't help it. They may b weird but since im weird 2 thats y i find us 2 b so compatible. Hopefully there aren't n e psychologists or future psychologists (like my roommate) reading this post cuz they'll probs think that i live in a fantasy world like George and Martha from Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (im pretty sure only Nick George'll get that joke).

Back at the TU

2010-03-15T22:15:00.003-04:00

First post after a while wow. Happy and mad 2 b back at TU. Happy that it's fun to get back 2 usual and all and revisit your dorm and classes and campus and all but mad in that bcuz im back @ college I can't relax n e more and i have a workload that makes me wanna poop crowbars and glass and, uh, poop. I didn't get 2 relax @ all over all of spring break and it went 2 frickin fast. Like it seriously feels like i had 2 days off of school. All i did was apply apply apply; 12 places total. Great news is that Middletown Township Parks and Recreation called me back already :) except they don't interview until late april which is like ughh come on just interview me now so from now on i'll no if i got the summer job or not! Even better news is that 2day qdoba's in springfield called me back while i was in theater 2day. I wasn't gonna go home until April 2nd so i was gonna ask him if april 3rd or 4th would b an alright day 4 him 2 interview me but the 1st thing he asked me was if this thursday was ok and, well, i have school so i said no, then he asked if 2mrrw was ok.....once again, sry bud, but school. So bcuz i kept rejecting him i was making myself look bad so i asked if this weekend was ok and he said that was fine. =D that he called me back and will interview me and all but ugh :/ that i have 2 go back home already after only 5 days. Its not bad though sunday afternoon i'll go back. Then i can't come home until like April 30 :O that really shouldn't b a big deal 4 me i mean im in college i cant go home all the time. I just like going home once in a while cuz it feels so good 2 get out of the small circle u need 2 stay in @ college; its not like i hate it or feel trapped or n e thing its just that when i go home once in a while i feel so much more free and relaxed it feels great, kinda like sex. I feel like i've talked about that like a million times i need 2 stop doing that! Shoot.
