about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Good Movies?

July 26, 2004

I realized after my Catwoman review yesterday, that of the movies I’ve seen recently, I’ve only mentioned the ones that I disliked. So, I thought I would come here and set the record straight. There are some summer movies that I like! Let me run down my summer movie list for you. At least as many of the ones I can remember.

Spiderman 2 - I really liked this movie. I wasn’t a big fan of the first one, but this one was different. I tend to enjoy complex characters with complex lives who are forced to make decisions that are neither black nor white, but some shade of grey. I guess I saw that in a lof of the characters in this film. I don’t believe in evil characters. And I don’t believe in good guys without flaws. Spiderman 2 delivered the characters I enjoy.

Harry Potter 3 - I’m a huge fan of fantasy, but I’ve never really gotten into the previous Harry Potter movies. I liked them, but not as much as I expected I would. I did enjoy Harry Potter 3 quite a bit though.

Shrek 2 - I didn’t let my boys see the first one when it first released because they were only three years old (I think) and there were just too many fart jokes. That was back when I used to see all the movies before I’d take them just in case there was inappropriate material. Now that they’re school age, I’m less picky. We saw Shrek 2 as soon as it opened, and we all really loved it.

I, Robot - How did I see this film without mentioning it here in my blog? I loved this movie! I expected it to be a good humans vs. evil robots for world domination plot. Boy, was I happy that it wasn’t. In fact, I’m taking my boys to see it this afternoon. I’m sure they’ll love it too.

King Arthur - Disappointing, but I’ve already talked about that.

Catwoman - Beyond disappointing.

There are a few that I refused to see (Garfield, anyone?), a few that we’re looking forward to seeing, and a few that I plan on taking the boys to see just for them. (I’d rather see Yu-Gi-Oh than Garfield any day.) Right now, we’re off to see I, Robot. Toodles!

    You had to go see Catwoman to realise it sucked. You should have avoided it like anything with Carrot Top in it. More Whimsy! :)

    Wait Carrot Top is in Catwoman?

    I have to agree as far as Catwoman is concerned, however, I am in the minority I suppose as far as Superman 2 goes. I was happy they went for more character depth, but for whatever reason I just can’t buy into the love story in a “wow these two have just got to be together” kinda way.

    I liked both Spiderman movies, although I was disappointed that Peter Parker knows that Mary Jane knows that he is Spiderman (got that?) I don’t know if this is true or not, but my cousin said that in the comic book, Mary Jane figures out that Peter Parker is Spiderman, but since he never tells her, she acts like she doesn’t know. So he’s late or gone for the night doing Spidey stuff, and when he comes home, he keeps having to come up with these lame excuses, and she’s always like, “Of course I understand that you had to go to Queens to buy tomatos and the subway broke down and you walked home!” And he’s always completely confused that she buys his bullshit. I thought that would have been good comic relief to play out in the movies.

    Aside from I, Robot, you seem to have a penchant for sequels!

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
