I saw a movie in 3-D glasses for the first time that wasn't at Disneyland or Universal Studios, but at an actual theater! It was Monsters vs. Aliens, which was a generally boring movie, but the 3-D made it super intense. I almost couldn't handle it at first, but then it seemed natural.
This has heightened my desire to see Half Blood Prince in 3-D, and, hopefully, I-MAX, when it comes out. As you can see, we've got about three months left to wait. Think you can? I KNOW I CAN'T!
Also, I'm listening to some old Bright Eyes right now, and I'm wondering how Conor Oberst used to get away with that shit. It's thanks to all the people like me, who, at ages 15-17, was definitely obsessed. And then I went to see him in Berkley after drinking some red spacebag, and he played a bunch of crappy songs from his soon-to-be-released album, I'm Wide Awake It's Morning. I mean, he played all the ones I skip now. It's not like anyone had ever heard any of those songs before, and we want at least a few songs we recognize. He did play June on the West Coast and Waste of Paint, which are great, but pretty random choices that I guess a lot of people there wouldn't have known. Obnoxious tangent. Anyways, now I can handle the overly manic depressive suicidal crap for nostalgic purposes, but if he was still making music like that, I doubt he would be taken seriously. He could go play at Warped Tour maybe.

A Few Issues
1) I think movies are strange because they take parts of life and portray them in a way that would never actually happen. It's frustrating sometimes, but in a way, it's good, because I don't think people really watch movies to get some reality. I'm mostly interested in movies that are way different than what my life is like, or something takes place that would never happen in my life. Randomly, a movie like my life will come out, and it will be something terrible like Taxi Driver, or Raging Bull, or Ronin, or, really, any Roberto Di Nero movie, and it's always a very profound experience for me.
One movie that really frustrates me, although it's probably one of my favorite movies, is Life is Beautiful. Because, really, I find it hard to believe that this guy was able to sneak his child into the barracks of his concentration camp, who just chills with him throughout the entire movie. That is a detail that is hard to overlook at times. I don't know, maybe the Italian Jews had it a little more lax in than the other Jews of the world in their Italian concentration camps, you know how they are.
2) There sure are a lot of power outlets in my room. Sometimes I worry about electromagnetic waves. I don't like the idea that these waves can give me a feeling of paranoia and fear, and the sensation that I'm being watched. It's going to make me think the house is haunted.
3) I'm running out of things to wear, and it's frustrating me!!!!
4) I can't find my remote control anywhere, I have no clue where it could be. This makes life a lot more difficult and inconvenient for me, because I hate getting out of bed to change the channel or turn it off. I guess I'm a little spoiled when it comes to the latest technology, such as jacuzzis and bobble heads and remote controls!
5) wonder more want more than we did before the shit is running and it runs deep i'm way out when you mean it on the inside you still can't get to me fits around me so tight fits around me so tight fits around me SO TIGHT fits around me SO TIGHT fits around me fits around me fits around me fits around me fits around fits around me fits around me fits around me

THIS MOVIE WAS SUPER STINKY
like, dead rotting cow carcass stinky.
I guess i had expected it to be like this:
WHICH IS STILL
SO FREAKING AMAZING
WORDS CAN NOT DESCRIBE
ONLY NECKLACES MADE FROM BEADS OF MY TEARS ARE SUFFICIENT.
but let me just say, Joseph King of Dreams
WAS NOTHING LIKE THE PRINCE OF EGYPT. It was such a disgrace, because the story of Joseph is so off the chain and makes me cry, but this movie made me sick. The music was like if Randy Newman and Enya collaborated to make a piece of shit soundtrack for Toy Story 3, which doesn't exist, but would have a similar score to this movie. And Ben Affleck talked Joseph, and let me just say, if I didn't like him before, which I didn't, I definitely don't like him now. Seriously, what a dbag voice actor. He is the worst of the worst. It made me so depressed. I was trying to uplift myself with a nice Biblical movie, but instead I had no idea what was going on, or who any of these people were.
Luke Skywalker was in it though, and his character Judah was a hot cartoon.
But Prince of Egypt REALLY is one of the most incredible animated movies out there just talking about it gets me all excited.
But seriously. Not that you were going to, but DON'T watch Joseph King of Dreams.

movie pitch #1
a teenage girl and her family, scientists who work for the government, move into a deserted neighborhood on some kind of research mission. apparently a deadly plague wiped out the whole town, and no one has been there since in fear the disease was contagious, but i guess further studies had proven that the air was fine. anyways, so they were a few of the first people to begin to inhabit it again. the creepy part is, though, is everyone's cars are still there and their houses are still furnished and all the street lamps are still on.
okay.
so the girl is an only child and her parents don't pay attention to her because they love the country more (for the greater good, of course), so she goes for walks at night, and on these walks a bunch of creepy shit happens, like she sees people running away in the shadows of the street corners, silhouettes in windows, voices, etc. she stops taking walks for the most part, until creepy shit starts happening to her in her house, like seeing people crawling around in her backyard. so she's like, oh man, this town is haunted with ghosts of the plague victims.
so seeks the counsel of one of the few who inhabit the town, an older woman who lived right across the street. she had been overseas on some journalism project or something when the plague hit, and then chose wisely not to return till it blew over, even though she lost some loved ones. she still lived in the same house she had lived in before, which is creepy. anyways, the lady tells her a bunch of creepy shit about the town, like the ghosts of the people still haunt it and etc. so she thinks it's ghosts for while, but then she starts going for walks again, where she realizes
THAT OLD LADY IS FULL OF SHIT.
while she was walking, she realized that this whole time she's lived here the sprinklers went off and the air conditioner systems were still running. SO WHO WAS PAYING THE BILLS?
so she decides to figure it out for herself, and jimmies open the backdoor to one of the houses. she starts going through their stuff and looking at all the photo albums and eating the canned food like olives and soup, when she hears a weird noise. she explores the sound, which leads to a bedroom, but before she could open the door, it opens and some CRAZY ASS LOOKING GUY whose skin is falling off and bubbling and peeling, and he can barely walk because of the sores over his limbs and oh man it's just so gross and painful looking, opens it and makes weird noises and crawls to her. so she runs away, and he hobbles after, but of course, she makes it home safely.
that freaked her out so she confronted the old lady and she revealed that everyone had leprosy, and she introduced the girl to her leper husband and children that she took care of, and that there were a lot of people who lived in the houses taking care of them etc.
so the girl is pissed at her parents and was like, HOW COME YOU DIDNT TELL ME THIS WAS A LEPER COLONY? and they were like, because it's a top secret government mission. no one knows about the leper colony, and if they did, the world would go into a panic. anyone who talks about it gets killed. but the truth is, no one can catch leprosy because we are all immune to it now, the only reason these people caught it was because the government injected their water supply with something that lowered their immunity and then put the leprosy virus into their water supply somehow to see if people with lowered immune systems could catch leprosy, and ultimately decide if aids victims could catch leprosy.
the answer was yes.
the family was there simply for follow up research.
the end.
