Sex scenes

They are pointless and annoying to watch through.

When you watch a movie, other than a porno, you watch it for its story. Never has a sex scene added anything to a movie's plot, neither are scenes like these enjoyable to watch in a regular movie. They just make everyone in the theater or room feel uncomfortable. Why are directors doing it.

Misplaced slash

Brilliant. The horniness of a human has no boundaries.

So now and then I come across Eddsworld yoai/slash fanart. It happens. I look for something else, I get crap. But considering what happened to the main guy, Edd, in real life, drawing these images now makes the issue even worse. I don't know anything about Eddsworld, I've only seen the characters, so I can't say much about it. But I do know that Edd was diagnosed with cancer not too long ago and is spending his days in the hospital right now.

You'd think that people who draw Eddsworld fanart would know about this. They must. With that in mind, where do they get the balls to abuse his image like this. Thank you for the fanart and support, idiot fangirls. Thanks alot.



The new Catwoman

I never liked Catwoman, as I always saw her as some bored, lonely woman who wanted to copy Batman, but thought she was being original by making herself the ugliest cat costume ever. Yet, I don't know that much about her. I always thought she was this strange crossover between a villain and a hero, depending on the situation, but I could very well be wrong.
I never found her interesting enough to check out her
biography
.

Not too long ago I saw a trailer for a new Batman game/sequel and the moment this ho hit the screen, I hurled. I think the main reason why I'm so bothered by her is because there is actually a big crowd who likes her, opposed to the previous Catwoman I know even less about. But even that Catwoman looked good; the new one looks like a slut, moves like a slut, and talks like a slut. There is a big difference between "being seductive" and "being a slut". She isn't remotely good looking and the stupid costume doesn't really help mask that oddly shaped head of hers.
Still, people are excited over her.
I must be missing something.


FALCON HANDSHAKE

You know those people, usually men, who break your hand when they give you a handshake? Those kind of people must be the masters of masturbation.

Oh yes.
And are total assholes.

Shrek

I love Shrek. And I've never been a real sequel hater, but surprisingly enough, I absolutely loved the Shrek sequel, opposed to "being okey with it", like I usually am.
Which is still strange, since it used many elements that makes a sequel bad; reusing the first movie's formula, inserting a whole bunch of new (leading) characters, making the original characters successfully more boring than the new ones, etc. But I guess it was performed so well, it made the sequel more enjoyable than the first movie. 


When they announced a third part after such a short notice, I was excited, but not sure what to expect. What else was there to tell, weren't Shrek and Fiona busy living "happily ever after" already?
I thought a part 3 was unnecessary and around that same time they even announced there was going to be a fourth movie. If a story "needs" at least 4 full-length movies just to make its point, it clearly isn't a good story. Harry Potter being a rare exception. When looking at the third and fourth movie, you can see that the story slowly turned into something what we call "a sitcom". It turned into a fancy animated tv series. Especially the stupidass oger babies were one of the biggest mistake Dreamworks made and didn't add anything to the already-bland-as-Hell story, as the babies don't have a personality. These abominations aren't even remotely cute. 
Also, I thought we had Puss in Boots to deliver us our daily need for cuteness. I just want to know for what reason these disgusting creatures were designed, other than to turn the Shrek series into a low-budget sitcom. 

But surprisingly enough, those two movies weren't the reason I started writing this article. Neither were the lame Christmas special and the 3D short I haven't even started about.
I'm not sure if this is true, but I recalled someone telling me that Dreamworks was done with Shrek after the fourth movie, because they knew everything was going down the gutter; but now these new trailers keep hitting the screen, and so they basically made another Shrek movie, to be released in November.

What the shit.

I like Puss in Boots. Just like the rest of the world does. But this character doesn't deserve to get milked like this. Everyone basically lost interest in Shrek himself after the first movie, but Puss still had a chance. I'd be pleasantly surprised if this feature turned out to be good, because I highly believe it will bomb, just like every other movie and special that came out after Shrek 2.
 
Puss is an amazing character, but my love for him doesn't blind me enough to make me have any high expectations for this upcoming sellout. Hopefully Dreamworks will prove me wrong.

Disney's Anastasia

Don Bluth's "Anastasia" has an interesting amount of negative reviews. I never considered this movie to be bad, in fact, I always saw it as a masterpiece, together with Bluth's other underappreciated movie "All Dogs Go To Heaven".   

Though, while that movie is still considered an enjoyable classic, people familiar with Bluth see Anastasia as a Disney rip-off.

At the same time, people not familiar with Bluth, whether they like the movie or not, actually think it's from Disney. Which is equally insulting, since Bluth bares a bit of hatred for his previous colleagues. I think the last thing he wanted is for people to associate him with them, though, it wouldn't surprise me if he used the "musical formula" on purpose. Nobody likes a Disney knock-off, but the sad truth is; if it's not Disney, people'll most likely won't watch it. They don't care for these independent movies, they want something familiar, and Disney has the luck of apparently owning all the rights to produce 2D animated movies and musicals.

I never saw anyone handing them those rights, but apparently the audience decided this.


Of course people also argue about the way the story was told and
even I can see that what Bluth did to Rasputin doesn't make sense. But making a movie about Anastasia alone doesn't make sense to begin with, yet many people have done it, not just Bluth.

Everyone knows her name and knows what she was, but truth to be told, Anastasia wasn't that important. I believe she was the least important character in the royal family.
There was one prince who was always ill and already got more attention than her. Just after the entire royal family got murdered, they believed there was a chance she escaped the horror because they never found any remains of the ignored girl. Many women then claimed to be Anastasia, just so they could get their hands on the family fortune and walk around with a title. Of course none of them got away with it.
But after they found the body of an elderly woman who had passed away in solitude years later, they started to suspect it was her and that she had survived after all, which would've made her a more interesting character if it were true. But then it all ended up to be false; Anastasia died years ago like all of her family. 


And that's the story of Anastasia. There isn't much else worth mentioning. Her sick brother would've made a more interesting movie.
 

Apparently Anastasia's personality was quite interesting, but I've never seen anyone make a movie about her regular life. She was only good enough to play the main role in a story that ended up to be a lie, including in Bluth's movie, after the final DNA results were announced in 2008. Took them long enough.
 
Even so, saying the movie is bad is not true. Rasputin selling his soul just to kill one adolescent girl suffering from amnesia makes as much sense as our main character, Anja, actually surviving and singing songs in the snow about wanting to have a family. At least, now it does.  

The animation is great, the songs are great, even the story on its own is interesting. 

"The meaning of life"

Humans are the only creatures in the entire universe with such a disgustingly huge ego, that they honestly think they've been "put on Earth" with a purpose. Nobody questions the "purpose" of dolphins or lions, yet we believe we are here for something greater.
Screw animals, they can't even hold a gun, we are obviously better because we can recognize shapes.

We are unwilling to accept the truth, especially if it concerns us and the actual truth, and as proven before, that is not a rare thing for us to do. Without a doubt; we are able to think in ways no other animal can, but this comes with a price. We possess so much knowledge, it actually affects our logic.
But besides that, there are many animals who can do things we cannot. Why aren't they special.


We don't have a purpose. If you want a purpose, give yourself one. Still don't understand "the meaning of life"? Well, if you have so much problem with life, kill yourself. Don't make things complicated all the time.

The continuous Spyro rape

Honestly, I don't mind it that much, but it is interesting to see how many companies tried to take over this Playstation 1-dragon and give him a ridiculous makeover, suggesting the first Spyro isn't cool enough for today's audience.

The original creators of this purple anti-hero, Insomniac, ditched their famous could-be-masco
t, because they had money problems and believed they couldn't add any more attacks/moves to this particular character, who walked on four legs, so were afraid that the future games would end up being exactly the same. I understand what they were trying to say, as every one of their games did focus on giving the gamer something new, but I'm just asking; what kind of justice all those crappy remakes do to Spyro. Insomniac's name isn't on them, their name is clean, but the new generation isn't getting a very positive view on their dragon because of these games.
Though, I'll give the "Legend" series credit, it was an interesting remake. Sparx was annoying and unfunny like Hell, but what can you do. Maybe exclude him from the next game, since he has no purpose anymore? Spyro grew up and has a life bar now, Sparx, find yourself another job.


Now a new Spyro game is being made, big surprise, and this looks like a big step down again. The design doesn't bother me so much, as I kinda like Spyro the bulldog, but the overdose of new, uninteresting characters do. So far I understood by watching the game trailer, Spyro isn't even an important element in the game. He is just one of the many lame characters you can choose from. Not only that, but you actually have to "buy" a character, in toy-form, in order to play as it.
What a concept. It would've been interesting if it wasn't such an obvious attempt to rob people.

Though, what I've read right now shocks me ever more: the creators actually recieved death threats from fans. The thought that people threaten to kill someone, just in the hope that a game doesn't get published, is insane. Go outside and have a life, you poor idiots.
Though Activision's claim that their target audience is "young children who never even heard of Spyro" and not Spyro fans is equally insane. You're using an existing, well-known video game character. Just admit it, your game was supposed to attract the fans, but right after you were told to jab a knife in your head, this was the only come-back you could come up with. It's not a shabby come-back, but if your goal really is to introduce young children to the dragon, redirect them to the old Spyro games. Not to this uninspired shit.

Sometimes it's hard to determine what these companies want with the lizard, but it's clear that no one wants to keep his character true to the original's. Same goes for the gameplay and plot. I believe "Enter the Dragonfly" was the only game that tried to be like the original games. Too bad it was too boring and too short for anyone to enjoy.



Fans demands

And then getting disappointed.

You know how people beg a company to make a sequel to something, but later on complain about how unnecessary they thought it was, and that the sequel gave them the impression it was just the company's attempt to cash in on the fans' money?

Yeah, screw all of you, you are idiots.



Hola, este es el internet!

Is it hard to write English, let alone "decent" English, in an English-speaking world?

The pure laziness that comes from the Spanish is frustrating, annoying and just makes me want to kick someone.

 
Everything they upload, whatever it may be, is dubbed or written in their own language.
Every comment they leave on other people's work is written in their own language.
They prefer talking and befriending people from their own country, so they don't have to put more effort (or any effort at all) into learning a language that's a million times easier than their own. Because really, who needs English these days.
Just why. Are they lazy? Are they stupid? Welcome to 2011.

Get off my internet.



The girls from the animated Batman series

They all look the same. How can anyone find Harlequin more attractive than Poison Ivy, when they're both basicly the same girl.

Good job, animation team.

Time

Often enough I wish I could live forever. Not in the sense I'd be dragging on my death, but simply that I'd stay young. No use in being old and slow the rest of your eternal life.

A simple concept, used alot in movies and stories. Though, all those stories have something in common; the immortal person is miserable. They see everybody they love die or they simply can't have friends, or a partner, because those "fortunate" people will question that person's eternal youth eventually. And die.

So, why do I even have this craving. Am I scared of death? Fuck that crybaby shit, death is nothing because it gives nothing. It gives grief to your "loved ones", but it literally gives you nothing.
Alot of people are scared of that nothing, and that's another reason why religion was invented. Personally, I am very content with the nothing. Why should I care about what happens to me. I'm dead and it ends there.

Your soul isn't like a recording machine, neither does it replace the brain when you're dead. You are not smiling down at your son or daughter, or help them with their bullshit-super-difficult life in the afterlife. You are dead, there are no memories of anything, there is nothing that comes after.
Though, I was always fond of the idea of living forever in the form of reincarnation. Reincarnation is an interesting concept, but let's just pretend you're able to get reborn everytime with all your previous memories intact; THAT would be a torture. Going through the neverending horrors of school, finding a job, saying "mama" to a different mother everytime, is not what anyone would consider a gift.

But living forever, the life you have now, would be just great. Today I discovered why; namely, I don't have enough time.
My mind is like a creative supercomputer and my body like a dead snail lying in a pile of salt. I am too slow and too lazy to do all the things, that I personally consider brilliant, before I'm dead. Of course, alot of ideas a pretty bad, but I usually discover that when I already performed it.
Summer Vacation is almost over. While school seemed like an eternity, Summer Vacation seemed like just one week. I don't want to work the rest of my life, though the problem is that since my own hobbies are basicly work, I'm always working. When I have school, I'm working. When I don't have school, I'm working. When school is over, I'll have to find a job and work. People work so they can live so they can work so they can live.
Humans have no respect for the human life. While it's obvious that slackers don't really deserve the same things a working man does, I think it's not so obvious that people are being trained to work the moment they are born.
"Isabelle, walk, Isabelle! Yes, put the square block in the square hole! Now do a test to prove to the world you're capable of learning."

Makes sense. Your child should learn to walk as soon as possible, because in the city there are always lions waiting behind the trashcans, looking for prey. And I'm pretty sure that as long your child isn't blind, it'll eventually realise in which hole the block goes. Children need less training than adults think, and if we gave them the oppertunity to be a child, then we didn't end up like me. Regretting getting old so fast.

Unless I get hit by a truck, half my family will most likely die before me, anyway. They're older than me, and seem less healthy than me.

I'm a slave to my passions, and the fact I won't be able to share every tiny bit of my work and every tiny bit of my mind with the world saddens me.
