Late-Night Movies Aren't So Great
My parents were watching a movie last night, but it got too late so I just decided to watch it this afternoon.
It was excellent.
Who knew movies about butcher shops could be so interesting?

Delicatessen
Aye, it was in French. At least the subtitles were understandable.

Challenge of the Day/Week/Month/Year? #4
Yet another challenge from our fellow Ralph and I.
This one goes to all you TV watchers.

Here goes:
Can you go one entire day, without watching television?
{Movies don't count if they're in theatres.}
One day = 24 hours, nonstop.
Less time with the TV on means more save energy.
Go green! {and keep your eyes safe} :)

Apologies

{Sigh..*} I was feeling slightly bad in the morning, since the night prior the stupid Monopoly game with my friends was so darn fun, which resulted in a late night. {Ralph went to bed early, he doesn't like staying up on Fridays for some reason.} They stayed kind of late, and I totally forgot to do the project thingy and all the other stuff I wrote down yesterday. Actually, I just felt like relaxing because of this project for a competition... It turns out that it's due a MONTH earlier than it was, and I was told last minute that I had minus ONE MONTH of time. This resulted in my rush of work, and I had to push aside everything. It was due Friday {yesterday} and I turned it in. I was in a very good mood after that, so I invited over some people, we watched some movies {good and bad} and played Monopoly which was very VERY fun {it ends from there}. Then, I realize I had finished none of my homework for my extracurricular classes, and I had to cancel. Therefore, I would like to make an international world wide web apology. {Yes I know, very official.} On behalf of my irresponsible behavior, I would like to apologize to my friends {who stayed up very late with me and possibly got in trouble}, my parents {for staying up so late and not really keeping track of the things I was supposed to do}, and my writing tutor {for having to cancel last minutes because I didn't really have time to focus on the homework since I was spending so much time to finish the big project for the competition}. Phew. That's over.

I AM DOING THIS AGAINST MY WILL!
Today, {well actually, this day, but not necessarily today 'cause I'm not writing this on "this day" that I'm posting under} I went to see Juno. {YES, I TOTALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING!} And, by a friend's requests, I am now posting about it. Hence the title.
Well, what can I say? {Not much, since I'm doing this against my will.} I guess it was a pretty good movie, appleasing for the crowd. The music was cool. :) It had a good beginning. And a good ending. The plot left me satisfied. The actors were pretty good, in the sense that it didn't sound so scripted, kind of just came naturally. Lots of funny moments. {I swear the people in the theatre were gonna upchuck their popcorn from so much contractions of the stomach from the punch lines.} But I still think it didn't have the essence of a good film. I mean, that's the thing with movies all the time. Horror, sci-fi, comedy. It's just all so...movieish. Someone else has redefined the meaning of movie. And that would be for it to be...entertaining. Well, entertaining means interesting. But not interesting, means not everyone will like it. This forces the movie producers to be...having the goal of the absolutely most profitable movie. It's not what it was supposed to be - a work of art. Art is not made for the purpose of earning profit, it's to show the viewers or audience what the message or meaning of the art itself is supposed to be. A camera can capture a lot of things, but it's no fun when you're just watching people talk on the screen. You do that when you're outside, in a crowd. I just...have a different definition for a good film. This film...I would say it wasy okay, but not that special. Then again, that's just my opinion. Don't listen to my opinion, 'cause it's always deranged and horrific. Ralph agrees.
