It’s pretty obvious that after posting a lot of topics about anime and manga, I’ll be someone who also goes to conventions related to these materials. We usually have a huge convention here during springtime called SakuraCon (cherry blossom anyone?), so I packed myself on this wonderful Saturday afternoon and went out to check what has changed since the last event.
In one word: Bigger and… well… better and worse. Better is that there was more space and more merchandise to buy… worse is the major hype that’s just killing the fun… I mean in the beginning this whole thing was like “your own” and it gave a good feeling. It was good to meet people who also enjoyed the anime phenomena, but now it’s like everyone’s shit… Like all the trendy stuffs, this one is also taken over by the younger generation, deforming it into something you never even want to know… a bunch of Narutos running around while being chased by the numerous Bleach cosplayers… Everyone is L from DeathNote in ultimate emo edition… it’s basicly like raping your favorite pizza toping, and pushing it right down your throat…
But the merchandise speaks for itself… I bought myself a Yoshi plushie, plus one small action figure and a small keychain featuring my favorite character. I think this is still the Okay category, nothing to be ashamed of.
But c’mon, get real, te whole thing just lost the spirit somewhere… I mean it’s sad that the most entertaining part of the whole event is when you flame everyone because of how they dress or act.
And when a person who is speaking on stage supposed to entertain people but instead litereally spits shit on everyone, who then use their mouth as a magical flute to guide the person down to the ground, and still this “entertainer” doesn’t even stop, but starts another Deep Impact of shitwave against the crowd… I’m wondering how this person even survived the whole thing… fists in the air, international truckdriver signs (let me help… it means “fuck you” as in generally go to hell and die), and everyone shouting words comboed into something that should be banned from humanity… dear god why do they let these kind of people to live?
Anyways… the thing was still fun… but next time I’ll have to be a bit more organized so I won’t be wondering around aimlessly, trying to avoid the fuck…
A film containing some Jack Nicholson madness and Morgan Freeman coolness is coming to cinemas… what’s the next thing you’ll do? You go and watch it… at least that is the best choice most of the time.
The Bucketlist can be described as a sad movie. But it’s not. I mean, yeah, people are dying without hope of survival, so who wouldn’t feel bad about that? But the story of these two characters is so good to watch… it probably has some weak scenes where basicly nothing happens, but you still won’t fall asleep, because the stuff stimply rapes your mind with all the questions: “Do I wanna know, when I’ll die? And if yes, will I be able to say that I had a fullfilling life?”
If you love Jack Nicholson’s pessimistic and phlegm play accompanied by the major chilled coolness and smartystyle of Morgan Freeman, than you have to see this movie. It’s not great, but it’s good. It gives you some thoughts about life itself… you’ll probably start to think about how you live. Some may even start to make their own bucketlist…
I’ll probably make myself one… no not because I think that I’ll die, hell no, I’ve been through all that depressive shit most kids can’t live without during these days… if you simply don’t have plans for the future, you’ll just float like a pickle in the jar, which is quite pointless… If you have some things you want to accomplish and you stick to that, even though you won’t be able to succeed with all of them, you’ll still live up to the maximum… I already had this idea of life before but this movie just made it rocksolid.
Okay, so I’ll take the barrier down and go with the flow once. I always tried not to even get near a topic which involves toilet culture, shit, piss or anything that comes out of you… it’s not funny, and even in Harold and Kumar, the scene with the battleshits, were two wanna-look-hot babes are fart fighting in the restroom was everything but not even near fun.
But I have to burn down the wall of shitlessness, since I have to admit, sometimes even I make jokes about shit, however I never wanted to publish any material related to that. The reason for this is very simple. Once you tell a joke which is ugly but funny everyone will laugh, then after a day or two, if the thing comes up again, they’ll say “oh remember that joke with the shit? You said that right?”, and then you can simply reassign the case to someone who is not present or just say “I don’t remember”. But posting one thing about smelly stuff can return to your face in 10 years or so, when you are running for the position of the US President… probably when you’ll face Hilary Jr and Little Obama, someone will eventually rip your ears out and shout “what have you done you bastard?” But since I’m not even planning to become president of any country or cult, I’ll just say this out…
The thing about Office toilets is that I hate them. We have one public, and one for those who have to use a wheelchair, but basicly everyone uses this. The difference between a normal restaurant- or street-restroom and an average office toiletroom is that this one is used by the fucking same people all the fucking time…
And yes, let’s admit it, it happens to everyone that you just let out some smell, or let’s call it odor… but the problem is that when you go in, get strucked by the powerfull nosebleeder, you have to realize that this is only the beginning of the trauma. We are not talking about dangerous poison here, it’s just a small odor, that barely tickles your nose. But it’s there, and this is the reason why it’s so goddamn powerful! You only go in to take a piss, but when you are about to wash your hands, someone pops in, feels the odor, thinks you were the one who played fart-o-mania, and after the next ten minutes the whole building is running chain e-mails about your bad restroom hobbies ala Fart-Fart-Revolution…
Okay, it may sound a bit awkward, but I love most of the movies which include Ryan Reynolds. Even if he just pops up for a few seconds and says something very near to intellectual (like “hey, sup”), it can still be the best scene for me… totally honestly, I dunno why, but he has this charm… just to make sure everyone knows I’m not gay, I’ll note that Scarlet Johansson has the same effect on me… alright, so moving on…
When I first watched the trailer for Definitely Maybe, I got really excited… I was thinking OMG, a movie which can be too much of suckage (yes, Blade3 that’s you, although you are there on my shelf as a special ed dvd… duh)… I was reallly interested and stuff, because the story seemed interesting. After watching the film, I felt like drinking a warm coffee while smoking cigarette and watching the rain outside… a bit melancholic, but refreshing.
The movie is not really exciting, only when a new girl or someone we’ve already seen comes up in the Story of Will Hayes (played by Reynolds). You get to know them, and you start to decide who you cheer for. Then the whole thing gets mixed up. You start to love and hate each of the women, and in the end you simply lose the end of the string. It’s good, but in sometimes it gets annoying and boring, and not even the President-Clinton-Retro arc – where we can see the rise of the OralLord and also his downfall – can help. But as time is going, you start to feel just fine, you will start to enjoy the movie, laugh at times, and finally, you get a nice and calm ending… we already know what comes in the final scene of a movie where we have two divorcing parents, and a cute little child… well, forget that, because this movie is totaly different, no shitty “oh-lets-get-back-together’ phrases here.
The movie is simply put, a good movie. Nothing less and nothing more. It has it’s flaws, but if everyone is into a simple puzzle story, which is not a detective stuff but a relationship one, then they should check out this thing.
The last couple of days (or it may be even more correct to say weeks) were full of stress and timeconsuming activities. I had to move from one apartment to the other, and organising the whole transportation and stuff took more time then expected. Although I’m still surrounded with rubbish filled bags while sleeping in the new bed, it’s more pleasent now, and time is back to do some stuff.
This monday I took a holiday just to regenerate a bit. Bought some stuff, went around the city… usual stuff. I also picked up this month’s Gamestar magazine, because I was really excited about how the grafic guys stylished my article about Platform development. It was my first 4 page long stuff, and I am really proud of my self, that the words I wrote are now in the first half of the mag. I usually do some intellectuel stuff in the end of the magazine, which is kinda like a filler, but they are always about interesting topics.
Anyways, stress is over… so relaxing can be priority 1 at last… however I still have to do something about my tax stuff. I really hate all of this tax shit. Finding papers finding stuff… ARGH!!!!
We know why we love Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez… the stuff they create suck… but in a good fashion, so who’s to blame if you enjoy a movie that does the same as it’s quality? Those stuff are made to be bad, and that’s why you enjoy them. Some people don’t have the taste for it, that’s no problem, humans are different.
So we had our share of Deathproof and Planet Terror, and they were bad movies, but in the best way. It seems some other people are trying to copy this as usual, try to hook up on the waves of enjoyable shit, but in the end, we have to realize that talent is required to produce the qualityshit. Some people have this, some people don’t… these people create things like: Zombie Strippers…
The awkward title belongs to an even more awkward movie… it has everything you need… zombies and strippers backed up by a C-category storyline… but after watching the trailer I had to realize… this is shit indeed… it’s one of those stuff you meet at your local dvd store, in the dark and smelly corner where bored videostore clerks have their blowjobs…
Watching a bowl of dog poo and calling it Killer Zombie K-9 Shit would be hell of a time compared to this…
I checked out some band from Erdély (Transylvania as most people know the place) a few weeks ago, my boss shared some experience before we went out to the concert, so I was kinda excited about it. They play some kind of electro music featuring a robust arsenal of live folk instruments, which is really interesting for my taste.
The name of the band is Tündérgound (which can be translated as Fairyfield, but the main point is the wordfun with the underground) and their first and yet only album features 5 songs, but the average lenght of the songs is more then 10 minutes…. it’s like you start to listen to one song, and when you get to the end of it, you have the feeling that you’ve heard like 3 different stuff.
You should check some of their songs at their myspace page, they’re really cool.
It’s probably old, but since there is this whole Uri Geller thing infecting the minds around the world, I though I’ll just share this one… Hugh Laurie is great and period!
On my current little voyage into the deep space of the new trailers out there, I think I kinda found an interesting planet to check out. Meet Bill is a comedy, starring The Gotham-Attorney-wannabe (Aaron Eckhart), supported by the sex-maniac-hot-chick-from-40-year-old-virgin (Elizabeth Banks), alongside the absolutely nonHitman-ish guy from Deadwood (Timothy Olyphant, btw I like the guy) and a bunch of “that guys” from other movies, but I have to also mention the beauty-dolphin-riding-princess (Jessica Alba).
The story is about a lame guy who is fat and unlucky, he is losing like everything… beside having a sucky job, the beloved wife just happnes to “belowed” another more popular guy… Bill tries to win the woman he loves back, so he allies with a bunch of kids from school and with their help tries to become the man the woman loves… and belowes… it’s simple and stupid, but adoreable.
I’ve checked out apple.com as usual for the newest trailers out there, but it seems everyone is doing some kind of lame maintenance because youtube is acting like the entertaining-snail of the day… which is definately NOT entartaining, because you have to wait for like 20 minutes to check out a promising AMV (as in Anime Music Video), but after 5 seconds you’ll see that it’s just another boring shitty effort of a 10 year old who just found Windows Movie Maker on the pc… on the other hand apple’s trailer section is just simply the successful “play-dead” dog, but he’s doing it way too much, and is more dead than alive.
But back to the topic, I’ve found the movie called Deception, having the same effect as the Prestige trailer had on me back then last year. You take Hugh Jackman, add another cool guy (Obi eWan McGregor) and put them in a totally WTF situation accompanied by hot ladies… but in the case of deception this once adds more Sex to it, because the main part of the story is about a thrilling game thing with a list and a bunch of sex. To be honest I have absolutely no idea what this film is about but since two of the many favorite actors of mine are going to be wearing cool clothes telling cool phrases, it will be a must see for me once it reaches cinema.
