See Shades of Gray
Just gonna mention this movie I found. I was supposed to come up with an outline for the proper application of crazy glue to moving pictures, and instead I ended up watching
Shades of Gray which is an independent shoestring-budget movie. If you liked Star Wreck you would probably like this one as well. It's not a sci-fi movie and it doesn't reference other works, it's just a good old funny movie. Good characters, good acting and quick paced. And if you look at the timestamp on this blog entry, you should be able to guess exactly how many viciously hairy imps that are having a party in my head right now. If I should claim the earth to be flat, that just means they've knocked out the part that... refers to... what was I going to say? Yes, they might mess it up for me so that I'll say something crazy, like that birds can fly or something.
That was all for tonight, I hope to see you again soon (yes, I can see you).
Wideness and goblins
I'd like one of
these. Or maybe not, 'cause I'd have to rebuild the room to make that thing fit ;)
Ah, and now my Harry Potter-report. It appears I have confused the name of the movie. It's not
Harry Potter and the gobbled fire as I said
yesterday. How silly of me. The movie is actually called
Harry Potter and the firing of the goblins. And the symbolism is amazing in this movie, although it took me a while for me to figure it all out. First you have Harry, who symbolizes the goblin(s), since he's short. And then you have Walmart who symbolizes the person doing the firing, i.e your boss. And since Harry is a low-income employee at Walmart, his life is in constant danger of layoffs and cheap sales.
I liked this installment as well as the two others I've seen. I will see number two in a day or so and then I can check off another box in my "Things to do before taking over the world"-booklet.
And now I think I'm going to see an episode of Andromeda. It doesn't have the Whedonesque quality I'm always on the lookout for, but when this show is good, it shines!
Swimming!
I have this great idea. What if, instead of writing a school assignment, I'll write some nonsense here to give myself even less time to finish? Nothing beats swimming around in procrastination.
Anyway, I began writing a blog entry a few days ago about how super heroes (superman, spider-man, wobbly-man -- next from Marvel? we can only hope) often are self-sacrificing while the super villains are egotistical. It didn't turn out the way I planned (I wanted more than two barely correct sentences) so I scrapped it. But since I'm swimming, I thought this would be an excellent time to pick up the pen of one of the greatest playwriters this side of the stone-age and go crazy with iambic pentameter... Shakespeare didn't write that many comic books, did he?
I think I got sidetracked... Where was I? Oh, yes, I was talking about not talking about super heroes. Lately I've been having problems with a certain dislike for what I write. I edited down this entry to about half (and you'll never know what you missed). Something akin to writers block, but more of a writers disgust. Maybe I should burst write for a while and see if that solves the problem.
On a different note: I looooove TV-series. They give the creators a great opportunity for nuance. You never have the same chance in a movie to slowly see a character develop. And seeing it happen slowly just adds so much more to the experience. And I really wonder how the hell David E. Kelley managed to write scripts for two shows simultaneously. He wrote
Ally McBeal and
The Practice, which are one-hour drama shows, himself. All the episodes. I've never seen The Practice but judging from
Ally McBeal he really knows his stuff. Guys like him make me want to become a mad scientist and build a Brain Sucking Device(tm). Or maybe become a zombie...
I'll write some more, 'cause -- swimming, remember? I'm gonna go see
Harry Potter and the gobbled fire tonight, which will be interesting. The other two movies (there are three, but I have yet to see number two) were quite entertaining, and from reviews I'm guessing this one won't disappoint either. I'm really curious though, who is going to eat the fire? And why? And what does that have to do with Lord Walmart? Is Walmart going to eat the fire? And what's the connection between Lord Walmart and the Walmart chain store? And will the vibrating broomstick (try google) be featured this time? I'm looking forward to having my questions answered later tonight.
Latex is out! Styrofoam is in!
Styrofoam underwear is the latest thing in the fashion world today... or I wish it were, but they have a tendency to fall apart when you move around. As soon as I find a way around that problem (I need bark from a cactus), you'll all be wearing my styrofoam underwear (well, not the ones I'm wearing right now, but you know what I mean) before you know it!
Imagine, you're outside when you spot that special someone who you've longed to ask out on a date, but it's a cold night and you're starting to freeze. And when you finally gather the courage to ask, you just stutter something, laugh feebly and go home to cry in your bed and hug your cactus. Do you recognize yourself?
If you've had styrofoam underwear the situation would have been quite different (you would've experienced first-hand how it feels to be dumped because of your underwear). I expect you to buy at least to pair after I've worked out the kinks.
On a more serious (did I say serious? I meant geeky) note: the Buffy/Angel-universe will continue to exist in a another medium. There has been some Spike comics which I haven't read (because this is Sweden and we don't use paper anymore, we use bark, but not from cactus) and now there will be a Buffy/Angel-comic. The difference is that this comic will be written by the creator of the two series: Joss Whedon. You can read more about it
here.
Now we might finally get to see who the Immortal is. I actually found that episode (
The girl in question from
Angel season 5) quite funny, which I understand not everybody did.
I tried to keep this short and sweet, just like me, except for the short part. 'Cause I give sweet pillow-talk! Just ask my pillow.
P.S: I will try to write more often (does this trick still work?) because it jolly fun! ... and deliberating, which might not be such a good thing... for you anyway.
