SWEENY TODD. MOVIE.

FOUND... PICTURES... QUIZILLA...

COMING... CHRISTMAS...

I heard rumors over a year ago that Tim Burton was going to make Sweeny Todd. I did not anticipate the following:

1. Johnny Depp is cast as Sweeny *gets hearts in eyes*

2. Helen Bonham Carter will be Mrs. Lovett <3

3. It's coming out December 21, 2007 (the day before my sixteenth birthday ^-^)

I JUST WANT TO HUG SOMEONE RIGHT NOW.

And the poster says "Alan Rickman", so I'm assuming he's the judge.

If this is old news, I don't care what you say. I'm so fucking happy <3

Well… what could I say about 1408?.... I could say that it is the sex and I was so in awe of it that I could completely lose my mind.

..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

I've read the short story by Stephen King. My opinion on the short story was that it was decent. Not one of my favorites, but it was entertaining. The movie was, as expected, most detailed and climactic. But I didn't expect it to be so good.

First off, if you expect this to be spoiler free, you're an idiot. You don't want me to ruin the entire movie for you, LEAVE NOW.

I'd the first time I was spooked was when Mike entered the bathroom. No, something didn't pop out of the tub, attempting to kill him. Bathrooms just scare the living bejesus out of me (especially after you bandage your wrists in "Indigo Prophecy" and you see that man in the mirror behind you. Goddamn, that surprised me…). Even when I knew nothing was going to happen, I still had white knuckles whenever he entered that goddamn bathroom. I was anticipating the next move of the room every second. As Olin said, the room was "fucking evil".

The clock resetting was also clever, especially the second time, when the caller mentioned that "you can repeat the last hour or you can take the express checkout" and the noose was hanging in the bathroom. But the most eerily charming was when the room took control of his picture on webcam and told his wife to come to the room. As she left,

The picture of on the screen smirked at Mike, winked, and then shrunk back.

What I really want to mention, as a huge geek, is that I love now subtle things reminded me of Silent Hill. For example, when 1408 becomes a dilapidated, crappy atmosphere (think when he sees his daughter in the previews), how can you argue against the fact that it looks remarkably like a room in Blue Creek Apartments? Also, when Mike sees his own grave, dug and ready for him (at least he didn't jump down; James you dumb fuck…). There was the extreme similarity to SH4, being trapped in a haunted room, but that installment of the Silent Hill series was highly disappointing (unlike 1408 as a normal movie <3)

Every time Katie, his late daughter, showed up, I was ready to be weepy. Her final appearance, telling him that she loved him and never wanted him to leave, and then dying in his arms, left me thinking, "You dumbass! The room is fucking with you! She's going to get ugly and attack you!" But, I found myself sniffling as his daughter's corpse crumbled into ashes before him. This was tragically amazing. Whoever wrote it was a genius.

I like the painting in the short story better though. Somehow, a devil woman and Mike's head in a bowl of fruit sounds a little creepier.

Halfway through, when he woke up in the hospital, I was whispering loudly, "If that was a fucking dream sequence, I will be SO pissed." But thankfully, the men in the post office torn down the walls to reveal the Silent Hill-esque 1408 <3

The ending was powerful, to say the least.

"Sometimes we can't forget bad memories."

Um… that's all I can really say, I guess… this movie fucking rocked and if you don't go see it, I hope you rot in hell.

And for Wife, "PICK YOURSELF UP OFF THE LEDGE YOU FUCKING PANSY!!!!"

So I have just seen "POTC 3: At World's End".

This is going to be one big spoiler in the form of a blog, ranting about what struck me most from this movie and what I can remember after seeing Johnny Depp lick his own brain.

So alright, let me start this review out by saying this movie was amazing. I was captived from the very start. The action sequences were fantastic, the gags were great and Johnny Depp is just damn sexy (to be blunt ^-^)

My first complaint was, as you may have guessed, the main character of the female type. I've ALWAYS. ALWAYS. hated Elizabeth. In the first movie, she was merely an annoyance. In the second, she was practically cheating on poor Will by hitting on Jack. In this movie, we see her take on the assumed role as a captain and then the King of Pirates. Hell, the Asian guy from Singapore thought SHE was the goddess Calypso. At this, I turn to Grace and say, "If she really is Calypso, I am going to be SO pissed." And to top it all off, after she said goodbye to Will for the next ten years, after Barbossa called her "Mrs. Turner", she tried to kiss Jack, who held up his hands and was like, "Um, no way." Jack Sparrow, a fine decision indeed.

I hated her more than I hated Mary Jane in Spiderman 3. That's a lot.

Thankfully, she wasn't. It was my friend, the dirt-caked Jamaican shamaness who needed a trip to the dentist. Tia Dolma, I love you.

In the spirit of "save the best for last", I will not discuss Jack's hallucinations until later. Now, I'm going to rant about Tia Dolma, whilst on the subject of her. I hated her in the last movie, but I found more respect for her in this one. When I saw the second movie for the first time at the theater, I hadn't noticed her musical necklace. It was when Danna brought the movie over to my house when she bought it. I told her that Davey Jones and Tia Dolma had the same necklace and the two of us had enough brainpower to link her as the woman Jones loved well before the third movie was announced. Danna and Grace thought the part where Ragetti (the man with the fake eye) frees her was lame (you must speak to her as her lover would), but I couldn't help but think it was cute how he folded his hands and whispered in her ear *^-^*

Lastly, I need to discuss Jack and his hallucinations. This was without a doubt the greatest parts of the movie.

First, in the locker, Jack is surrounded by white around his ship and he attempts to eat a peanut. He is promptly shot by someone, straining with his tongue to taste it before he dies. This person takes the peanut and turns out to be none other than another Jack Sparrow. He turns to another Jack, who turns to another Jack. Heterosexual women of the world, this was a ship full of Jack Sparrows. It was fantastic. They were all crazy, giggling, strange as always Jack Sparrows. Well, maybe a big stranger, considering one of them acted like a chicken and layed an egg. Either way, he shot one of them, they giggled and then they all disappeared. Strange....

Now the most amusing part of the movie occurs when Jack is sitting on the Dutchman, locked in the brig. Two more Jacks show up and start talking to him. By the way, do you remember the man who came out of the wall in the second movie? The one with the exposed brain? Well, there's another one of those, only it's a third Jack. As soon as you could see his brain, I could hear Danna laughing loudly and obnoxiously. I kept my composure. Then, in the midst of talking between all the Jacks, the one in the wall takes out his brain and licks it. Why? I don't know. I just know I lost my fucking mind at that point and almost pissed my pants laughing. By what I could hear, so did Danna.

Either way, the ending was suitible. Jack goes searching for the fountain of youth in what will someday be Florida, Will is captain of the Dutchman, and Elizabeth is still a dirty whore (their son, after the credits, looks nothing like either of them). And Gibbs is scoring with two floozies that Jack blew it with. Yay....

SPOILER FREE REVIEW BELOW//CONTINUE FOR SPOILER LITTERED REVIEW CONCERNING MY DEEP THOUGHTS AS A MARVEL GEEK

..:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

I'm going to be willing to bet that no one wants to hear a Marvel Comic Geek rant about the movie, so most of you will probably read this part only (though I deeply wish you'd continue if you have seen the movie ^-^)

I had thought that using three classic villains in one movie was going to drag the movie down and make it seem like a pathetic "last hoorah" of the Spiderman film team. I had no idea how horribly wrong I was.

FIGHT SCENES: Gorgeous. They went over the top with special effects.

PLOT LINE: Quite good, to say the least.

THEME: Revenge... Fucking awesome.

ENDING: *Sniff*

Anyway, I can't really say anything good without spoilers… so sorry…. Scroll down for my intense amazing review. Just go see the damn movie. I loved it.

SPOILER LITTERED REVIEW

Anyway, here's the deal on Spiderman 3, in my opinion. From the beginning of the movie, I was hooked. I won't lie. They correctly portrayed Venom (the black stuff) as an entity from space. It overtook Peter and made him a total douche, like in the comics. He flirted with all the girls that he had dated in the comics before he married Mary Jane. Needless to say, I was pleased.

The Sandman was had an excellent plot line. He had my sympathy immediately when I saw him put his returned letters under his daughter's pillow. He was never one of my favorite characters in the comics, but I really liked him in this (not as much as Doctor Octopus in the second film. He was portrayed more favorably too and I felt so bad for him when he lost his Rosie *sniffle*).

Venom, the actual personified character (or Eddie, *forgive me if I think of Rocky Horror*), was rather nice. I can't say much about him, except that Topher Grace was a total douche (well done, Eric), I loved his pointy teeth when he didn't have Venom on his face, and I was so glad when he died, because of what he did to Harry.

As for Mary Jane, she was SUPER BITCH! *fanfare* I could not stand her and I kept thinking that Peter could do so much better. He was going to propose and she started bitching about a female friend that walked up and said hello in a restaurant.

SUPER SPOILER (DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE)

I think this next paragraph is going to be long. It's about Harry and his development as a character. All throughout the series, even though he's done some terrible things, I've always been fond of Harry. When he lost his memory and said he'd die for his friends, I remembered how he died in the comics. He gave his life to save his son, wife and Peter (yeah, he had a family in the comics before he died. He married one of Peter's old girlfriends). I knew in that moment that he would die and I was sad as hell.

As the movie progressed, I began to suspect that it had been written especially to make me miss Harry when he died.

I don't think he's that good looking, but when he had no memory, he was as docile as a lamb. He was painting bowls of fruit and making omelettes. Needless to say, I WANTED TO HUG HIM LIKE HELL.

When the bomb went off when Peter was a crazy, revenge crazed maniac, wearing Venom, I was concerned. When Peter returned to apologize and ask for Harry's help, Harry turned. I gasped. The entire left half of his face was burned badly. IT REMINDED ME OF ERIK. It made me all the sadder.

As Venom grabbed his glider, I knew exactly how he'd die. He'd get stabbed by his own glider, like his father, saving Peter.

…………….I cried like a fucking baby….

Some small comments here, wrapping up some things:

1. I loved Peter's hair when he was evil. He had bags under his eyes and hair in his face. He was adorable. Actually, his hair looked like how I always try to get Greg's to look.
2. Mary Jane is a psycho bitch with jealousy issues.
3. Eddie was a douche. I like him better in RHPS (lmao, I'm lame)
4. I loved the Sandman. I felt sympathy and I have the song stuck in my head.
5. RIP Harry Osbourne *sniffle*
6. Doctor Octopus is still my favorite Spiderman Film Villain XD

So here's a little story to appease the grotesquely bored friends who visit my blog. I JUST DISCOVERED THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD.

As you know, I am a huge Tim Burton fan. I saw commercials for James and the Giant Peach on television (to be shown tonight on cartoon network). So when my little sister wanted to watch a movie with me, I grabbed that off the shelf.

It was told to me that as a child, I wanted to go see some long forgotten movie, but it was sold out. My grandmother retaliated, and took me to see this movie. I think it birthed my unhealthy obsession with TB movies.

Anyway, I discovered the most amazing thing ever...

As we watched, the giant peach floated into the Arctic and they needed a compass. Deep in the ocean, there was a pirate ship. The centipede went into it and saw the remains of a captain and exclaimed, "A skellington!"

I laughed, because I knew it was one of my hero's touches. But when I looked at the skeleton at the desk, I realized it was Jack Skellington of Nightmare Before Christmas, in pirate form. I FREAKED OUT, screaming, "OH MY GOD!!! IT'S JACK AND HE'S A PIRATE!!!!!!!!!"

"What?" Mary inquired.

"ISN'T THAT JACK SKELLINGTON?????"

It made me extremely happy, due to the fact that I hadn't seen that movie since I was probably still in the age group of single digits.

And I found myself screaming at the television, "GO JACK!!!!"

..

Tim Burton... you're my hero....

I'm not sure why that deserved a blog...

For anyone who saw part of this picture under my pictures or as my default, here's the original. I got the idea about a month ago and drew it for my friend, Derik, for Valentine's Day (my least favorite holiday, but this was a funny concept)

Inspired by a stupid bulletin, but I rather I like this poem ^-^

The anthem flag they share
one holding unknowingly
and one holding in spite
both share the patron color
of a simple white
Blind holds brown,
with an "x" for my hesitation,
While the opposer holds
the blood splattered banner
for my unwanted sensations
Together, they make
an awkward sort of art,
but both of these together,
Make up the fabric of my heart...

I should have put something about rain or phantoms... oh well...

It's kind of sad that I listed this under GOALS, PLANS, HOPES above... my favorites have devils next to them, the more devils there are, the harder I laughed:

You should not attempt these things during an actual exam. The following is meant for entertainment purposes only.

1. Bring a pillow. Fall asleep (or pretend to) until the last 15 minutes. Wake up, say "oh geez, better get cracking" and do some gibberish work. Turn it in a few minutes early.

2. Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming "Andre, Andre, I've got the secret documents!!"

3. If it is a math/science exam, answer in essay form. If it is long answer/essay form, answer with numbers and symbols. Be creative. Use the integral symbol.

4. Make paper airplanes out of the exam. Aim them at the instructor's left nostril.

5. Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, "I'm so sure you can hear me thinking. " Then start talking about what a jerk the instructor is.

6. Bring cheerleaders.

7. Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About five minutes into it, loudly say to the instructor, "I don't understand any of this. I've been to every lecture all semester long! What's the deal? And who are you? Where's the regular guy?"

8. Bring a Game Boy (or Game Gear, etc. . . ). Play with the volume at max level.

9. On the answer sheet (book, whatever) find a new, interesting way to refuse to answer every question. For example: I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs. Be creative.

10. Bring pets.

11. Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of relief. Go to the instructor, say "They've found me, I have to leave the country" and run off.

12. Fifteen minutes into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell out "Merry Christmas. "If you're really daring, ask for another copy of the exam. Say you lost the first one. Repeat this process every fifteen minutes.

13. Do the exam with crayons, paint, or fluorescent markers.

14. Come into the exam wearing slippers, a bathrobe, a towel on your head, and nothing else.

15. Come down with a BAD case of Turet's Syndrome during the exam. Be as vulgar as possible.

16. Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make one up! For math/science exams, try using Roman numerals.

17. Bring things to throw at the instructor when s/he's not looking. Blame it on the person nearest to you.

18. As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it.

19. Walk into the exam with an entourage. Claim you are going to be taping your next video during the exam. Try to get the instructor to let them stay, be persuasive. Tell the instructor to expect a percentage of the profits if they are allowed to stay.

20. Every five minutes, stand up, collect all your things, move to another seat, continue with the exam.

21. Turn in the exam approximately 30 minutes into it. As you walk out, start commenting on how easy it was.

22. Do the entire exam as if it was multiple choice and true/false. If it is a multiple choice exam, spell out interesting things (DCCAB. BABE. etc. . ).

23. Bring a black marker. Return the exam with all questions and answers completely blacked out.

24. Get the exam. Twenty minutes into it, throw your papers down violently, scream out "Forget this!" and walk out triumphantly.

25. Arrange a protest before the exam starts (i. e. Threaten the instructor that whether or not everyone's done, they are all leaving after one hour to go drink)

26. Show up completely drunk. (Completely drunk means at some point during the exam, you should start crying for mommy).

27. Every now and then, clap twice rapidly. If the instructor asks why, tell him/her in a very derogatory tone, "the light bulb that goes on above my head when I get an idea is hooked up to a clapper. DUH!"

28. Comment on how sexy the instructor is looking that day.

29. Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 minutes, put on a white mask and start yelling "I'm here, the phantom of the opera" until they drag you away.

30. Go to an exam for a class you have no clue about, where you know the class is very small, and the instructor would recognize you if you belonged. Claim that you have been to every lecture. Fight for your right to take the exam.

31. Upon receiving the exam, look it over, while laughing loudly, say "you don't really expect me to waste my time on this drivel? Days of our Lives is on!!!"

32. Bring a water pistol with you.

33. From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to Jeopardy. Ignore the instructor's requests for you to stop. When they finally get you to leave one way or another, begin whistling the theme to the Bridge on the River Kwai.

34. Start a brawl in the middle of the exam.

35. If the exam is math/science related, make up the longest proofs you could possibly think of. Get pi and imaginary numbers into most equations. If it is a written exam, relate everything to your own life story.

36. Come in wearing a full knight's outfit, complete with sword and shield.

37. Bring a friend to give you a back massage the entire way through the exam. Insist this person is needed, because you have bad circulation.

38. Bring cheat sheets for another class (make sure this is obvious. . . like history notes for a calculus exam. . . otherwise you're not just failing, you're getting kicked out too) and staple them to the exam, with the comment "Please use the attached notes for references as you see fit. "

39. When you walk in, complain about the heat.

40. After you get the exam, call the instructor over, point to any question, ask for the answer. Try to work it out of him/her.

41. One word: Wrestlemania.

42. Bring balloons, blow them up, start throwing them around like they do before concerts start.

43. Try to get people in the room to do the wave.

44. Play frisbee with a friend at the other side of the room.

45. Bring one pencil with a very sharp point. Break the point off your paper. Sharpen the pencil. Repeat this process for one hour.

46. Get deliveries of candy, flowers, balloons, telegrams, etc. . . sent to you every few minutes throughout the exam.

47. During the exam, take apart everything around you. Desks, chairs, anything you can reach.

48. Complete the exam with everything you write being backwards at a 90 degree angle.

49. Bring a musical instrument with you, play various tunes. If you are asked to stop, say "it helps me think. " Bring a copy of the Student Handbook with you, challenging the instructor to find the section on musical instruments during finals. Don't forget to use the phrase "Told you so".

50. Answer the exam with the "Top Ten Reasons Why Professor xxxx is a Terrible Teacher"
