Its that time of year again, $hristm-er i mean Christmas.
now, we all know what we do during christmas, we watch movies, “What” your saying “What about the presents?”, well you're a infidel! Because christmas is to celebrate the birth of jesus, were the three wise men give jesus dvds for “citizen kane” “the seventh seal” and “That one disney documentory were they made lemmings fall off a cliff”, but dvd players were not invented yet, so the massage was lost on baby jesus. and of course, we watched Christmas movies during Christmas, like tron.
Tron is perhaps the best geek movie ever*, It is set in dark distopia future of 1982, and is about the big lebowski whos a video game designer for some reason, who attempts corporate espionage by breaking in to the company that stole his games, but gets zapped by a ray gun that takes him in to THE INTERNET.
WARNING SPOILERS!
actually, he goes into cyberspace, BUT THATS THE SAME RIGHT?
ANd in cyberspace everyone plays games like “laser discs” “light cycle” and “pac-man”
all of which would make great video games in real life (and they did)
and then he finds love
and then he goes back home in a futurama tube.
BUT NOT WITHOUT SCREAMING A LOT.
the end
But seriously, tron is a great movie, and has aged well! It has awesome effeicts and is fun to watch, and it had a sequel many years later. it may be somewhat over dramatic at some parts, but thats part of the fun, also it feels like a fucking video game.
(in fact, the director got the idea for it from seeing pong for the first time, also he only made four movies. and is only known for tron)
Also, it has something to do with christmas, one character compares the main character (played by the big lebowski) to santa claus (“this guys like santa claus!”) when opens the biggest door in the universe. So yeah.
It is also the reason why theres a toy story, it was one of the first movies to use computer effects, but it was never really recognized during its time for this, but then its fanbase grow large enfoe, that disney decided to make a sequel.
9/10
the sequel, which was called Tron legacy, was made 28 years later
THe son of the big lebowski, who is NOT played by shia lebeouf (Great move), tries to find his father, and does so by playing a arcade game.
BUT THEN
he gets sucked into cyberspace.
Oh NO, things are looking grim for our non-shia lebeouf hero, BUT THEN, SUDDENLY, OUT OF NO WHERE...
WARRING SPOILERs
HE MEETS DAFT PUNK
AND A CYBER PIMP
AND A HOT CHICK
AND CGI FACE BIG LEBOWSKI
AND FLESH FACE AND OLD BIG LEBOWSKI
and then he brings the hot chick home using his non shia labeouf.
also the big lebowski blows himself up twice
the end.
I would talk for a while about the movie and how good it was (or how bad), but, i’m just going to say it was good because it didn’t have shia labeouf play the young character like in the terrible wall street sequel.
so a nine it goes.
9/10 (propally more of a 8 however)
*expit for the empire strikes back blade runner alien star trek two
But before that i saw the wolverine, But instead of reviewing it, here two questions to ask people who hadn’t seen the movie yet, but want to one day, or people who have seen the movie, these two questions:
Motorcycles?
What is a ninja’s worse weakness?
5/10
and i also saw kick ass 2 with dad.
i have nothing to say about it other than that it was not as good as the first.
6/10
after those two, i also saw elsume with dad, elsme is a movie by the same guy who made destrict nine, one of the few movies that i give 9.5 aliens relseming slaves out of 10. and it follows the theme created by district nine, political proplum with sci-fi thing, last time it was aparhine with aliens, this time it is free heal care with robots.
alos one cuplant about district nine was that the third act was more acton based than the rest of the movie, which was just drama. the director decides to respond to that criticism by making the entire movie action, making it matt damon vs rich people on the ring from halo.
yeah, they ripped off halo.
the bad rich people are on a ring that's also a planet with life, and the halo from halo is a ring with life on it like a planet!
Fun fact: peter jackson and neill blomkamp were going to make a halo movie, but then they made district nine instead, and they blomkamp made elsume. which ripped off halo. those fuckers.
7/10
ALSO, while dad was sleeping and mom was getting drunk with friends, i had time to watch could atlas alone.
i have no idea what happened in the movie.
actually, that sounds like what mom said when she got back home “i don’t know what's going on”. oh god i just figured it out.
its a movie about being drunk and not knowing what happened afterwards. wachowskis, you are geniuses.
bad jokes aside, i’m going watch the movie again one day, so i can know what's going on.
8?/10
And finally, i watched blade runner with my dad (which i saw before could altas, but still, i’m putting it afterwards in this post just cause...i worte about this last.), pesfcly the final cut which was what the movie wans meant to be but then they added in a happy ending, narration, and cut out a horse scene.
So the final cut is clearly the better movie.
but yeah its blade runner what more do i need to say? other than the unfunny han solo killing robots joke, also i can’t believe that this movie was a failure at the box office, especially since every cyberpunk thing ever is inspired by this movie.
10/10
and with my mom and dad i saw “the way way back”,Your average teen comedy film. expit its your average indie movie instead, whatever, its a movie about a depressed teen, that should tell you what its about.
anyways, it was a good movie, and a funny one.
wow, those sure were insightful comments, were they? it was good, and funny. not even a why, just “this is good, see it now”.
The new roger Ebert, passing through.
8.5/10
and those are the movies i saw in December.
and now, the boring part where i talk about what happened in my life, prever to get your poileros, and remember all of this stuff, because you were probably there during these events because the only people who read this blog are my family and friends:
Me and my dad have been doing this thing where we write something at the same time on Thursdays and Tuesdays, but that's too personal for this public blog in my opinion.
also my friend trey came over to my house to hang out, actually, his mom came over to hang out, and brought trey with her.
uuuuum.....
And roleplaying, if you have been reading this blog for a while you will know that i play roleplaying games with my friends, so in a recent adventure, we freed a evil old sorcer, whoes soul was trapped for thousnd of years, and is one of the most powerfulles sorcerer in the multiverse, and in the process putting one of their friends soul in two daggers, while he (cran liret) was put in their friends body. thus bring back a Great evil to the world.
And he give them rewards for doing so!
All in all, a fun time, right?
and also....
*Tumbleweeds rolling by*
....
So, Have a merry Christmas tomorrow (or today) everybody!
also...i saw little miss sunshine.
which is a cute, charming and funny movie, with great acting, and the movie that made steve carell famous (he also appeared in the way way back, see what i mean?), also i watched it with my mom who has seen the movie like 5 times, also i conster it a arnold schwarzenegger movie becuase its inspired by a saying by Arnold which is “If there's one thing in this world I hate, it's losers. I despise them”, so yeah, put it by predator and commando.
10/10 (seriously, this is a awesome movie).
