Social Network

 I have to live in this modern world where everything is done on the net.
You make friends on the net, you shop on the net, you live on the net.
Yet... everything that we want is in this world- not that.
I have never been caught up in Facebook. I have never been caught up in any site unless it gave me something.
I get something from Fanfiction- an occasional good story -that delves into the authors mind and talents.
I get something from Youtube- Music... in most cases.
I get my shows from TV.

But I truly wonder... what DO people get from Facebook?

I don't feel close to many people, and even when I do... I don't put in any affect into a relationship.
I see how Facebook is all about making friends, I do... but I just can't do it.
I can't be bothered adding every person I meet.
I don't even read posts of the 49 friends I have.
I go on to say how I feel and what's on my mind.
I don't expect people to read it and when I found out they were I just got paranoid.
Why would people care what I'm doing on Facebook.
I've never really saw my activities as something that were exciting.
And I don't see what other people are doing as exciting.
It's not that I don't care... but I don't.
I don't care for socialism for the way I see it is this

Everyone wants to have fun and I must be the odd ball here because I don't see what young people do... as fun?

Pubs... are not fun to me.
House Parties with more than ten guests are not fun.
I don't know why I keep fooling myself and go to them anyway when I never have that much fun and I'd have a lot more fun with just one or two people than with seven or eight.
The conversation is weakened and usually dominated by one or two people anyway.
At least in a crowd of two or three, everyone has an equal say instead of with seven or eight... usually it's just run by the dominant "leader".
 I guess in the end... I'm the small fish in a big ocean, swimming in the oppisite backward direction but it doesn't really matter to me.
Cos' in the end, everyone sees themselves as different and not the same.
And I suppose that I'm the same...

The Rockey Horror Picture Show.... not so scary

Well,
How do I begin.
Frankly- I've taken it upon myself to watch things I normally wouldn't watch from people in my life.
And I must say. If a friend hadn't mentioned this film then I probably would of never seen it.

It was interesting.

The plot for a starters.

A newly engage couple has their car break down in the woods and go to a nearby castle to ring for help-
Now this is where it gets weird.
The owner of the castle is a scientist (Tim Curry) who is also a tranvestite and an alien...
Yeah...
And given into pleasure.
I find it... interesting... and yes I was able to keep up... I just... was like ... huh?
Tim Curry had sex with everyone basically and the film ends in an orgy with Tim and Rocky getting killed before the castle beams away with the two remaining alien transexuals going back to Translevania.
Well I must say I liked it!
Nah... it was grand- I don't regret watching it but it had nothing in it for depth- though I will admit some of those musical numbers were kicking.
I'm gonna give this a B+, which is pretty good I'd say.
The actors were good, the story was different and the songs were catchy.
All in all... another film which has been crossed of my list and which I will gaurantee is a cult classic.

Bye for now

And remember to keep watching things others won't.

Treasure Planet... a treasure indeed

Well, today in the library I stumbled upon Treasure Planet... a movie I wanted to see when I was nine and ten years later I still couldn't resist the lure of checking out this once shortly longed for movie.

 As you can tell by the pattern of this blog by now I have a thing for cartoons and I must say that this version of "Treasure Island" was actually a rare find indeed.
I know Disney in its old days did often give their characters depth but this character Jim Hawkin's was different.
He was solitary... he didn't give trust easily like the other Disney characters... he was in his own pained world and his back story actually made me feel something more for the drawn character.
He was... not enchanting... but he resonated something with me.
He felt alone in the world. He always messed things up and he didn't seem to have had any lasting deep relationships of any sort with anyone beside his mother and even that was stumbling.
He did help around the house... he didn't rebel yet he was always seen as the rebel. He had something more... that the other main characters of Disney movies lacked and that was actually... hurt... loneliness and depression... I actually thought he didn't fit in more so than Quasimoto.

Anyway.
Disney did another thing in this movie which they don't do in many.

There was no real bad guy.

Yes there was John Silver... but he wasn't bad.
It was the treasure that was the bad guy and what it did to people.

John Silver, bless his Irish soul seemed like he honestly was a good person who was just trapped in the golds power.
He didn't want to hurt Jim, he even tried to bargain with him.
And the relationship that developed between the two- not being gay or anything- I knew it was supposed to be a father- son relationship but to me it was a best friend relationship... that was something Jim had never had before.
I kept hoping that at the end Jim would go with Silver in the end, leave his empty life and explore the galaxy but I still admire him for staying... even if it meant loosing the first person he had let into his inner being and mind.

And I admire the movie.
The directors must have changed after this film... for when I saw Princess and the Frog I did not have the same response or respect for that movie.
I know there is no need for a sequel for this film... but to me it was more adult than child and to me it was something... different.

I don't know if this review means anything to you but just writing it made me realise that it was good and maybe I shall enjoy it again sometime in the future.

Ta ta for now and keep watching things that

no one else will.

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac

I must say- this graphic novel is brilliant.
The sense of comedy is great and yet it is so dark and sadistic in nature you must really think that only an open person could like such a thing BUT ANYONE CAN LIKE IT.

I love the book. It is very well written, the dialog is intrigueing and the characters can easily be imagined in personality with none of them coming off bland.
Even though Johnen Vasquez does seemed to have a way in which he treats most of the common people- either groesque and stupid, prozac happy or... normal. With Johnny analysing it all and seeing what really is behind the world and if what he is doing is really bad?
I could even tell that Johnny was a smart individual. He was actually too intelligent and often people with great intellect are the ones that suffer most from mental issues.
I found the comic so original I have not been able to find any other comics of any sort the same in humor as Jhonen Vasquez's.
In other words.
This comic should be read by people who like the strange and unfamiliar. People who like things that are just a little salted and with spice in other words...
This comic is for you and me.

The darkest game ever played

People think there are some dark games out there, that are just plain evil...
But I have played a game that I found so dark and twisted- and depressing it actually made me sad playing it.
This game of course is Legend of Zelda "Majora's Mask" and if you played it than you would see what I mean.

I mean, even the opening was dark and evil and this is kinda a kid's game?
Link is going through the forest on horseback in search of his lost friend- Navi, I guessed- when this evil twisted creature knocks him out, steals his horse and turns him into a shrub. Okay- this was actually scary when I played it at twelve years old... this game is so dark and twisted with nearly every character Link comes in contact with having a horrible life just because of that evil creature. Oh yes, and Link has to keep travelling back in time for the whole game- with everyone never really remembering who he was... which is just pitiful for as soon as you actually save someone's terrible life, you go back in time and it's terrible again.
Plus, Link is like only ten and he is painfully transformed into these dead creatures by putting on their masks which hold all their soul's sorrow...
There is even a song in this which is sooo twisted and depressing called "The song of sorrows" where you see the flash back of the creatures' lives before they died- mainly the Goron and the Zora- with all the things they had going for them! and this is just to make me feel dead inside.
But this game was so emotional- it was the most emotional game I ever played. It was... being equal to Ocarina of Time... the best game I ever played.
I literally felt like crying playing it- if this was a show or a movie- it really would've been huge... or a cult following. The thing is, Link, like always... is the hero. The brave soul who never hates anyone- not even the evil kid- he ALWAYS forgives... and I think because of that, he actually influence my life to some point for I've never let myself hate anyone...
This game is breathtaking... dark... twisted and riddled with so many riddles and stories of other people's tradegies, they souls and their hate for themself, I'd just play it every day just to see that I helped the people, and the feeling I get when I actually see the characters cry in happiness.
THIS GAME IS EPIC.
Not many people seemed to have played it, and I don't even like Video games that much but this is a game which I think everyone should check out... if this game doesn't make you sad and depressed and just hating this evil sadistic KID, than I don't know what will...

This game gets a 10/10.

PLAY IT!

It is the BEST!

The Most Retarded Funny Shows Ever coz I'm a retard! :D hehehe

I am big into retarded humour... I don't know why exactly but I am.
Now when I say retarded I don't just mean duuuuuhhh I mean just comedy that doesn't make sense or throwing in random stupid things just for laughs.
A few good examples of shows that do this would be
Invader Zim
Angry Beavers
Family Guy
South Park

Regular Show
Mongrels
This slapstick and often retarded humour is what keeps me interested in these shows but sometimes a show will pull out an episode that is so "retarded" that I honestly can not stop laughing at it for the eleven to twenty minutes and here is where I'd like to discuss these so called episodes giving in order, the episodes I found just plain retarded


6. Regular Show- Death Punchies

I know this show has only been on for little more then a month but they have truly prooved how retarded they are in every episode they have put on. The show seriously seems very unscripted which helps add to the retardedness.

This show is amusing and even sometimes cracks me up and the episode Death Punchies just made me laugh.
It was retarded- which I liked, but it was only because Rigby was going around punching people and making them fly off into the air
Plus the character Rigby goes a little beyond retardedness with his quirky sounds through out the episode and then suddenly changing his mind at the end to be player 2.

 5. Mongrels- Nelson the stroke virgin
This show is retarded in the sense the characters say the foulest things and are all a bunch of idiot wankers- even the smart one Nelson.
But to me, every episode was funny, original and lets just say... retarded... and the No. 1 retarded episode in this was, Nelson the fox, being a "Virgin" ie. never been patted.

It was hard really to choose between this episode and the one where he marries his sister- cos that was quite retarded itself, but this one just wins for the cleverness of the pun.
Watching Nelson trying to get a man to stroke him- people can't understand the animals- and saying shocked "I thought he was up for it!" eventually going to a petting zoo where he gets stroked non stop- whether he allows it or not- the whole reference as he realises in terror he may get "Stroked banged" by a bunch of children really made this episode funny for me as it was such a stupid innuendo!
Ha ha


4.  Family Guy- To love and die in Dixie
Let's just say, Family Guy has a lot of retardedness but one episode which I've seen which I think goes beyond retardedness just because it was based on Chris in the early seasons before it got too formulated and let's just say any old episode based on Chris in season 3 is retarded.

This episode just got in my list for two reasons.
1) A raccoon kept jumping out out no where and attacking Peter for the duration of the episode- and when I mean no where I mean any where- A gun- Louis's breasts- a beer bottle. It was just so retarded I had to laugh.
2) Chris- now everyone knows that Chris is a retard but some of the things in this episode which he did were so retarded I had to burst out laughing. Jumping in the water cos he saw his relection and thought he was drowning, reading his diary out loud and then freaking out when Brian hears him... he was truly the image of stupidity coming in draw with the idiot Billy from GTOBAM.


3. South Park- Spooky Fish
Apart from the movie, this episode was truly- and I say this with deepest respect- retarded. But then again every episode from South Park season 2 to 3 I think were really the best most retarded in humour episodes ever made for a television series.

Now Spooky Fish isn't exactly the funniest of the show- although it is freaking hilarious- but it is retarded in the sense a gold fish could move the entire bowl by doing nothing, was killing people, and Cartman ulternate universe self was there with a beard smiling and was so prozac lovely and happy the other three kids were like- what the f-?

But I think the thing that really made this episode was the fact that when Stan and Kyle are talking to this guy the guy says something like "Oh yes, I dug up the old ancient indian graveyard, pissed on the corpses and then buried them again upside down,"
"Why the hell would you do that?!!" One of the boys exclaimed.
The guy replying something like "I don't know,"
XD

2. Invader Zim- The most horrible X-mas ever
The most retarded episode ever if you ask me.
This episode was a great finish for the short lived show Invader Zim, with the creater Jhonen Vasquez actually bringing the episode forward a heap in production just so it could be produced.
And let me say... I'm glad it was. The show hosts three of the most retarded characters I've seen on a kids show, Zim- a psycho alien, Dib- a psycho stalker, and Gir- a retarded robot.

But what really made this episode retarded was the fact was that the creater wanted it to be the most retarded thing ever. For one, he'd throw anything in an episode- just because he could- just for stupidity- and that is why this was one of the great kid shows produced.
In this episode the things that made it stand out in retardedness were this.
1) Professor Membrame'schristmas present he got from Santa while he proclaims his revenge.
2) Zim just saying to Dib (disguised as a elf) for no reason "You know, I don't know why, but I feel like I can talk to you, you know?"
3) Gir just doing psychotic laughter and psycho pointless things through out the episode.
4) Zim throwing prozac happy children off him- especially a little baby with the cutest smile ever.
5) The  people are just so retarded in every respect- everything a person does in this show doesn't make sense and is just for retardedness... truly, a deserving 2nd place.

1. Angry Beavers- Dagski and Norb.
Who would've thought that a parody from a kid show about an adult show could be done so well that it was actually so hilarious and even pointed out the retardedness of the show it's paroding... not me.
But yes- aside from it's 22 minute movie "The day the world got all screwed up"- this episode from the show was truly the most retarded and I think probably the most retarded thing I could watch as a kid- even though I watched it when I was 18.
Dagski and Norb are two cops that truly were retarded- Dag was completely out of character which made it even more funny and he kept such a stern face for the whole 13 minutes I couldn't help but laugh my ass off.
But if it wasn't for the sheer amount of retarded jokes and gags they had in this episode then it would've easily had slipped my mind.
Even some of the visual stuff was priceless-
1) Through out the whole episode they were smashing into boxes.
2) They kept saying "Are you Carping?" throughout it.
3) They were stuttering over their lines in some places and weren't even sure what they were doing.
4) Dag and Norb kept singing the beat of Starski and Hutch through out the whole episode.
5) The crime they were trying to solve was a mob leader smuggling empty boxes...?
6) and the oh so corny line delivered by the lead female Treeflower in a whiny over acting voice "I'm not bad, I'm just confused"

This episode was truly an epic in retardedness and possibly a great parody made by a basically forgotten show of our time.

So if you ever feel like putting on something that just doesn't make sense then check out these specific episodes from these great and often under estimated shows.
Till next time I write in this blog.
Adios!
