Just an observation

I am watching John Q at the moment and I saw a couple of things that i wanted to harp on...
In the opening scene there is a young woman that is driving a car and we never see her whole face. It just sparks my intereste in her..what part does she play in the movie..I mean they would not just have a random lady being hit by a car for no reason you know..its kinda like that guy on home improvement..the one that we never see his whole face..its either covered partly by a fence or there is some other obstruction that keeps us from seeing any part of his face from the nose down.
Another thing I wanted to harp on was the scene where the "Barbie" girl in the hospital scene beats up her boyfriend.
She totally just kicks the living crap out of him and the other hostages in the emergence room cringe in pain and laugh at the worthless bag of dirt that is being run thrown into a erupting volcano that has been dormant for years...i just thought that it showed the human side of the actors..i was able to relate to what was going on..not the man being beat up by his girlfriend and rightfully so..but the people that we're laughing at him..that sounds sorta harsh but its true..i was laughing at him too...

Are You Serious

"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
Her five year mission: to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life
and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before"...That is what Captain Picard said at the beginning of each episode of Star Trek the Next Generation. Thanks to that series there have been many runoffs of the show such as Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and Enterprise. There have also been many different movies that have been made as well such as Nemesis, First Contact, and not to mention the series of nine from 1980 to 1998. But the one movie that is the least serious of them all is the documentary called "Trekkies".
Now as you all know we had to watch the movie in class and Rudd told us to take the movie seriously and take notes on it. Now i'm not gonna lie I thought I was gonna take it serious the class before because I had never heard of the movie. Wow. The first five minutes of the movie let me know that I was going to be laughing the whole time. The movie focused on the fast growing obsession of the television show. One of the people it focused on was a fifteen year old that was preparing to attend a convention of the show. His father equipped his old car into a space shuttle from the Next Generation Series, and he was able to get some lady that he knows to sew a uniform from the show for him to wear to the convention. Now when everyone saw this there was a huge uproar of laughter and snickering over the amount of time and effort that was required for all of this to happen, and the fact that there are kids our age that would actually want to do something like that. One of the ladies that were talked about wore her uniform to a trial at which she was a in the jury. You would think that if you were called to be in a jury trial that one should wear something appropriate for the occasion not a costume from a television show. Should we take this type of thing seriously. Maybe we should. Its not that far from the football fans that wear ourlandish things to football games and have tailgate parties starting at six in the morning on December 24th. Its not as crazy as some of us may think it to be. I'm sure we all have that something that we go absolute crazy for...star trek just happens to be there's...

The Great Debate

Friday, as we know, we had a debate over which is better the media conglomerates that are on balance..that was the good side..the other side doesn't really matter right now..both sides did bring up some good points and i don't think that both sides were completely correct in the conclusions they came to. you know what no..i believe that the good side won that debate..first of all it was the harder side to choose. the fact that we were had a rebuttle for every idea that they tried to bring up would probably mean that we had the better ending.the debate is more than the people that came to the podium and made jokes..its about the info that the speakers gave. to say that people can't be indivduals is crazy..if this were to be true then there would be no blogger. in my opinion the info of the group that stated how the m.c.'s are on balance won..

Now That's Comedy part deux

And then we have a younger commercial...
The Budweiser commercial that we all saw last year at the superbowl..if for some reason you haven't seen it here is the low down..there is one beer left at this house party, and two guys walk up to the cooler and both of them want it so they decide to have a rock, paper, scissor battle..one guy throws out paper and the other a rock that knocks out the other guy..its really funny when you see it..my writing about it does not give it justice..
The one thing that really grinds my gears though is when there are the commercials that don't really have a meaning to it.. i mean some of the good ones are funny and you know what they are selling at the same time..like the officemax commercials..but then you have some of these like go daddy. com and you don't really know what they are trying to sell so you have to end up watching the commercial fifty times to figure out what is going on..but anywell that's all i've got to say about that..

Now that's comedy

Some of the funniest things happen during the one thing that most television watchers hate the most..commercials. personally, i would think the world we be a much better place without these things that interrupt 24. but i know that without these commercials 24 would not be possible..but anyway back to the topic..some of the older funnier commericals...

there is one i remember for Quizno's Subs. they had this unusuall looking rat type deal and it would sing in a high pitched voice, "We love the subs! 'Cuz they are good to us. The Quiznos subs. They are tasty, they are crunchy, they are warm because they toast them. They got a PEPPER BAR!" when i first saw that commerical i was between freaked out and pee in your pants..that is one of the weirdest commercials that one could ever see..if you wanna check it out you can go to www.visit4info.com quiznos sub..
another old hilarious commercial is the rubberband man commercials for officemax..the two funniest ones that i rememeber are the ones where he is walking through the office, and through a town in the summer. for the one through the office he is walking around with a cart full of different office supplies and is dancing while giving each one out to the workers in the office.
for the summer commercial he is dancing through a city taking away all of the fun things that the kids are playing with and giving them school supplies. and throughout the whole commercial the oldschool rubberbandman song is playing. (that might be a lil oldschool for all you kids out there i know) and you can check this one out at www.visit4info.com keyword officemax. well it looks like that will be the last blog for the week..i'll have to finish this one at another time...

Armed and Ready

i was playing a well known videogame a couple of days ago (HALO 2) and one the guys i was playing with brought up an amazing observation. he said that everyone else was wearing no armor, but the two main characters that you play as are wearing the most. i paused the game and thought about that for a minute. i thought about all of the movies and tv shows and other video games that i played and realized that it is true for most of them. ....

Keifer Sutherland-24- most of the time he goes into a situation with guns blazing with nothing on. unless its an organized thing. at that time he might be wearing a bulletproof vest. but it doesn't matter because Jack eats bullets for breakfast...

Mel Gibson-The Patriot, Braveheart-in both of those movies he kills people with an unorthodox method..no protection..and with a hatchet..that means he is very close to the man he is killing with an easy chance of being shot or stabbed..and he does get stabbed and shot..

Denzel Washington-Deja Vu, Man on Fire- once again he doesn't wear any protection and he ends up getting shot..alot..in both movies he ends up dying at least once because of gunshot wounds..(sorry if i ruined the ending if you have not watched any of these movies)

Commander-Halo 1,2,3-need i say anymore..look at him for crying out loud..he can sleep in a tornado and not feel a thing...that is how you go into battle..with as much armor on and the most powerful weapons you can have..

Thanks for Visiting Hollywood

we had everything we wanted except for the perfect actor for the job. the problem was we could not settle for anything than the best. instead of leaving hollywood with our heads down and our tails between our legs, we walked over to arnold bodybuilder and talked to him for a little while. it turned out that he was not satisfied with the part that he was offered by another writer. we ended up putting arnold in a corner by himself with laura, myself, and the producers surrounding him and we all talked to him about the script that was made for him and he ended up signing the contract with us and everything was settled. towards the end of the class we tried to sign a love interest but she was too stuck up. she said that she did not want to have a back up role with an actor that has never been in a bust. but that was her decision. hopefully the people will like what laura and i came up with and all the people that talked trash about us wil eat their words..

Welcome to Hollywood

so i think that i'll agree with the other thousands of students that have taken the class when i say that the hollywood class is the best fifty minutes we will spend in that classroom. it was fun to be a part of the role playing as everyone was either a writer, agent, actor/actress, and producer. the class gave us a fun way to take some of the things that we had learned in class and actually put those things to work.

i was the partner of laura s. and together we were the beginners luck writers. as the writers we had a list of things we were. one thing on the list was the type of movie we were supposed to write. we knew the type of movie was supposed to be an action flick but we had a tough time coming up with a good story line. we didn't finish in the time that we were given so when everything had been set into motion all the writers and actors/actressess flocked over to the producers with the most money trying to sweettalk their way into getting the producers approval. we took our time trying to come up with a good story, but once we did we realized that we were on the outside looking in because the two producers we hogged up. instead of trying to sweet talk our way into a signing we decided to talk to the producers that had the least amount of money. we were able to get them to sign us and we were on our way to making a movie. 270

unfortunately, it took probably half of the class time to make a script that was up to par with what we wanted and the producers that the actor we wanted, arnold bodybuilder, had already signed with other writers. so laura came up with the brilliant idea of changing the lead around for a female that will kick butt like angelina jolie in tomb raider..334 we looked for Gloria we were able to talk to her before she made her final decision. she did not want to be in another pretty girl movie and the thoughts of going around the globe killing guys interested her very much. we thought that we had found the person for the part, she had us in her final two she choose from, but she decided to sign with some other writers that had already had experience in the field for some stupid reason so we were back to where we started..without a actor...

The Book of Faces

The new semiotic domain that has taken over the world is Facebook. You can put a profile which tells the world all about you. You can put your age, hometown, school, interests, activities, favorites, and relationship status. You can put your favorite pictures up for the friends to see, and the wierd stalker people as well. Messages can be placed on a wall that everyone has in their profile, and for those messages that you don't want others to see you can send those messages too. Different people ask to be your friend from your profile, and there are smaller groups that invite you to be a part in it. Some actually have a point and others don't.

People can join the facebook nation just by signing up for it. Anyone with an email address can. That's probably why so many people have. Facebook started only for the college folk, but after enough bickering from high school kids the Maker's decided to let them in as well. I joined thanks to a friend of mine. I didn't want to have a facebook because I thought it would be an easy place for stalkers to know way to much about me. The day after I took the red pill I realized that it wasn't that bad at all...I was hooked. I spent more time on facebook than I did doing homework. The only way that people can become an expert in the art of facebooking is being on it a lot. There are a lot of different features that take a lot of time to get used to: pictures, making groups, events, and my posts.
