Movie Review: A Nightmare On Elm Street

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have officially seen my first scary movie in the theater. I'm not even kidding. 20 years old and have never seen a scary movie in the movie theater.

I saw a Nightmare on Elm Street and I was so nervous going into it. For some reason I felt like once I bought the ticket, there was no turning back. Lol.

If you're nervous about seeing it, here is my advice: replay the trailer over and over. Memorize everything about it. It basically gives away all of the scary scenes. I totally knew from the actors, settings, and shots, what was going to happen.

The movie itself was entertaining. Not amazing. It honestly wasn't even that scary. The story was very recycled. It kinda reminded me of Knowing for some reason. I'm not sure why. I think it was the 'school memories' aspect of it. But I'll probably buy it on DVD. It was entertaining.

Major Spoilers: The ending was stupid. They kill Freddy and then (naturally) he's still alive right before the credits. If they are going to make a sequel, they're going to have to really explain that one!

As for the new Freddy actor and his look... Well, I should first mention that I didn't see the original Nightmare on Elm Street, or any of its sequels. I have, however, seen images of the original Freddy and I find him much scary than this one. The new one is more realistic though. Both appear burned, but the newer Freddy looks more decayed and faceless (although the actor portraying him isn't pretty either).

All in all, if you like scary movies, this would probably not be that good to you (if you like good ones that is). I found it rather cliché at times, but it was still entertaining. I wouldn't see it again in theaters, but I'll buy the DVD when it comes out.

New Miley!! Can't Be Tamed!

LOVE IT. And she says hell. Way to break boundaries! Screw Disney!

Funny Scene: Jaws - Tiger Shark

This is the funniest scene from Jaws. My cousin, my sister, and I replay this clip over and over again.

What's your opinion of Graduation parties?

This is extremely random. But I'm curious and I have this weird urge to share my opinion.

It's that time of the year where you have graduation parties every weekend. I've had one. For my high school graduation.

Something that really bothers me is when people have middle school graduation parties. Like who the hell cares? You're going from 8th grade to high school. It's required by law. In my opinion, it's just a stupid excuse to throw a party for your child and scam money out of your relatives. When I'm invited to them, I don't go and I will say "I don't believe in middle school graduation."

It's okay to have a little party immediately following the ceremony with close family, but a huge hoo-hah. No.

The next issue is college graduation. I'm weird in this situation. I don't think it's THAT big of a deal. But when you think about it, it kind of is. I dunno. You elect to go to college and the workload is much more strenuous. But you've already had your party, why have another? I think the high school graduation party is acceptable with the continuation to college. When you graduate from college, you're going out into the real world and you're more mature. There's no need for a party. ...In my opinion, of course.

I dunno. Random. Just something that crossed my mind.

Movie Review: Kick-Ass

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

Kick-Ass kicked ass. Period.

This movie was amazing. Less funny than I thought it would be and more gruesome than I thought it would be.

But it's true: why hasn't anyone tried being a superhero? We see it happen all the time in movies. Bruce Wayne proved it possible without powers. And this movie shows you that.

A guy, I forget his name, becomes a superhero in New York City (typical): Kick-Ass. He is later accompanied by Big Daddy (Nicholas Cage) and Hit Girl to bring down a drug lord (?) who's son is Red Mist (McLovin'). It's a whole circle of conflict that's rather difficult to explain.

I really enjoyed the movie. I'm a sucker for heroes that kick ass (ahhh! #familyguy) and never get hit. Kind of like the lobby scene in the Matrix where they're flipping around everywhere and shooting everything and not once do they get hit. Hit Girl was the shit. I was rather disappointed that Big Daddy died. Kinda surprising since I find Nicholas Cage super annoying. The other thing I was bummed about was Red Mist didn't become good. I thought that the four of them would be a team, but I was wrong. Wishful thinking.

And I don't know what to make of the ending... Will there be a sequel? Red Mist could easily become a bad guy. He's got money and could come back with a vengeance. I hope there is a sequel. Kick-Ass: 4/5 or 9/10.

Movie Review: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

Last night, Erik and I rented The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, aka Heath Ledger's last movie and I must say it was really good. I think I enjoyed it mostly because I had absolutely no idea what was going on. While we were watching it, I even made the comment, "I'm kinda liking this movie." But it was such an odd movie and it was hard to understand right off the bat.

Starting now, I really mean what I said in regards to spoilers. Like I'm gonna blow it all right here...

Replacing Heath Ledger after he died with Colin Farrell, Johnny Depp, and Jude Law was kinda genius. At first I didn't really understand their choices. But they all resemble him with make up on. It's kinda scary. You can tell when Jude Law is playing him and when Colin is playing him. But Johnny, in my opinion, could be his twin because they both have the same voice going on. In one shot, while Heath's character is in the "Heath" form, I swear it's Johnny Depp sitting there. They look that much alike with the eyeliner on.

I liked how whenever Heath went into the Imaginarium, he would change into one of the other actors and that's just what the Imaginarium does to him. No explanation required. It surprised me to see how much he filmed before he died. It seemed like everything was filmed EXCEPT for the scenes the 3 others had to film.

But look at me going on and on about Heath and not the movie. I figured I would. The movie is very hard to understand at first and even when it's over you're still going WTF. But I would recommend it. I'd say 3/5 stars. :/ Before you watch it, understand that you're going into a fucked up movie. LOL.

Driving Lesson #1

Isn't my artwork beautiful. That's hand-drawn, that is.

I think people need to go back to driving school every three years or so. Because, seriously, some people really don't know how to drive.

Above is a picture (the one I drew ;) of an entrance to my mall. The blue line and arrow represent me and how I enter. And the orangish-red is how everybody else would enter. How would you enter?

Now before you give me that 'it's only left or right' bullshit, let's think realistically. Be real. Would you rather go straight in or all the way around? Again, be realistic.

The way I go is even; my lane and the entrance somewhat line up. AND I'm required to cross 2 lanes of traffic whether I am turning or going into the parking lot.

The orange line is out of the way and not even, and someone in a right turn lane shouldn't be anticipating crossing multiple lanes! UGH!

People, people, people. Use your fucking minds!

Bella wears Hollister? WTF?

What the eff is this about? I found new promotional poster photos for Eclipse and Bella is wearing Hollister jeans. Which is fine, but it's logo is blatantly obvious and stands out. There were also shots of Edward and Jacob, and all three of them were wearing solid clothing with no words and no logos. I don't know why this bothers me so much. It just seems so tacky to have on a poster. They should've edited it out or something.

I wonder how much Hollister is paying for that product placement.

Fat Kid Sings Bad Romance!

He knows all the words and all the dance moves from the music video. Lol.

I Hate Perez Hilton!

First, I'll bring you up to speed on one Perez Hilton, then, naturally, bitch about how much I hate him. Perez Hilton is a 32 year-old gay blogger that is one of those people who are famous for being famous. On his blog, he gossips about actors and celebrities and doddles on pictures of them as I did to his picture above. ;) And P.S. he changed his name to Perez Hilton because he loves Paris Hilton. His real name is Mario! HAHA. Loser.

He has a tendency to out gay actors like Jeremy Renner from the Hurt Locker and create gossip about them. He also has hatred for random celebs like Vanessa Hudgens. He also likes to post half-naked pictures of celebs like Zac Efron, Chase Crawford, and Kellan Lutz, among many others.

And then there's the whole thing with Carrie Prejean, Miss California during the Miss United States Pageant. During the pageant, Perez Hilton asked her her interview question which was about legalizing gay marriage. Prejean responded:

"Well I think it’s great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. You know what, in my country, in my family, I think I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman."

Since then he's been in a unofficial war with her and ripping her apart in anyway he can. Yes, I agree, what she said is terrible, but let it go. She's not the only psycho religious, Jesus-loving, nymphomaniac. Just chill. Ugh.

Now I'll give my opinion of him. While I HATE his GUTS, I'm addicted to his blog. He does post some interesting and entertaining things. I check it once a day and blow over all the bullshit I hate (Justin Bieber, his Carrie Prejean battle, Glee, Tiger Woods, etc.) So basically I hate him but I like his site, but not that much. Ugh. Idk. I JUST FUCKING HATE HIM. And he's gross and ugly and fat. Like really? You're gay! You're supposed to be attractive and classy. Just saying.

This Has Got to HURT!

OMFG. This is sooo terrible. I can hardly watch.

If I see one more Jesus Fish on the rear end of a car...

If I see one more Jesus Fish on the rear end of a car... I'll kill someone. Like really? Are you really going to have the back end of your car preach to me? I don't need that. When I see one, I think this person is a conservative asshole who is against homosexuality and prays before each meal.

You've got to appreciate the jews. They keep to themselves. I don't hear about them hating other groups because a book tells them to. And I never, ever see the Star of David on the rear end of a car. The only time I ever see one is on a necklace. And even that's rare.

People, take your Jesus Fish off your cars and shove it up your ass. If you can fit it up there with all the other shit.

Movies I Love to Hate #1: Citizen Kane

Like seriously, what the fuck is this movie about.

Welcome to my first installment in the 'Movies I Love to Hate' Saga where I name movies I hate with a passion and I explain why I hate them. Pretty simple.

For my first one, I decided to do Citizen Kane. Released in 1941 and directed by, written by, and starring Orson Welles. See, that's where you went wrong. I hate movies that are produced, directed, written, and acted out by the same person. I think it's just cocky and selfish. James Cameron would fall into that category if it were him sinking to the ocean floor in Titanic instead of Leo.

This movie has no purpose. It made absolutely no sense to me. I had to watch it for my Introduction to Film class at SIU. We watched some decent movies in that class (His Girl Friday, the Player, Above the Law (not. ha.) but this movie just pissed me off.

In all honesty, I don't even remember what it was about. About a guy who was a millionaire and was unhappy or something. Idk. See, it sucked so much, I don't remember what happened. That's all I'm going to say. Except...

Rosebud.

Smokers should just die.

I'm so blunt.

Okay, here's how I see it and this is very mean. Smoking should be illegal... and punishment for smoking should be death. I know, I'm an ass.

But really... If you're going to smoke and kill yourself and others via smoking, then you should just die! You're shortening your life by smoking and the secondhand smoke is killing those around you that don't want to die AND YOU DON'T CARE.

It just doesn't make sense to me. Instead of putting a cigarette in your mouth, put a gun in there instead. CAPISH!?

Ugh, Kate Gosselin, I love/hate you. Bitch.

I really don't know what to do with Kate Gosselin. If you've seen her on Dancing with the Stars, you know she sucks. Yet she comes back week after week (although she's totally going home tonight on the results show). I'll admit, I've voted for her. I'm a Pamela fan through and through. Last week I called and voted for Pam 5 times, Nicole Scherzinger 3 times, and Kate once.

The one thing the woman is good at is making us pity her and that's all she wants too. She totally goes for those pity votes. I only vote for her because deep down I feel like she could get better and become the season's most-improved star. However, I have to realize that she isn't trying. If she tried, she would be great. Well... good. But apparently she's been skipping rehearsals to go shoe shopping and shit and then plays the "I have eight kids, the paparazzi won't leave me alone" card.

Kate, I'm done voting for you. I wish you would do better. I know you can, but you won't try. You're just a stuck up bitch. I'm so over this Jon & Kate War crap. Their kids should be fostered.

Watch her perform her best routine below.

Dear Disney, re-release Song of the South..

Consider this my first controversial entry. I think that the 1946 Disney film, "Song of the South", should be re-released either into theaters or release onto DVD. A limited DVD. Many people don't even know what "Song of the South" is. Well, you know the song "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah", (yeah, the one that is pretty much the Walt Disney Company's theme song) it originates from this movie. And you know the classic Disney theme park ride Splash Mountain? The story behind the ride originates from this movie as well.

The movie takes place in the "deep south" just after the Civil War. A little boy, Johnny, moves to a plantation with his grandmother and mother while his parents are dealing with their marital issues by separating. Johnny runs away and comes across Uncle Remus telling two other children the tales of Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, Br'er Bear, and the Briar Patch (as seen in Splash Mountain). I'm not going to reveal the rest of the story because I don't want to give away the ending. If you wish to know the full synopsis, wiki it!

Now, I haven't seen the film hence why I call for its release. Remember back to the time of the story: a segregated country, racism, etc. A very controversial subject for the forties and for the "magical and perfect" Disney Studios. People believed that this film would show African-Americans in a negative light. I haven't seen it, so I can't verify. Let's just say, at the Atlanta premiere of the movie, the actor who played Uncle Remus was not allowed entry into his own movie. Terrible.

The film has never, ever been released onto VHS or DVD in its entirety. Only short clips of the film have been released. The film has only been rereleased into theaters 3 times since its original premiere. The last time it was released was in 1986. That was 24 years ago!!! I think it's time to release it once again.

Now, Disney's chairman has stated that the film will NOT be rereleased for the time being. According to Wikipedia, movie critic Roger Ebert supports Disney's conservativeness in keeping the film to themselves. His reason is because "most Disney films become a part of the consciousness of American children, who take films more literally than do adults." A good argument. I can understand that Disney doesn't want to ruin its perfectness and conservative morals by releasing a film that has been dubbed racist.

I believe that the film should be rereleased once every ten years. They don't need to advertise for it. They shouldn't look for money doing it. But you can't be the studio in the possession of the Film Critics Society's 67th greatest animated film of all time and never let anyone see it. They could even release it under one of there other studios (Miramax, Touchstone, Buena Vista Home Entertainment, etc.) to keep their Disney name intact.

So, they should quietly release it limitedly back into theaters OR release it on a limited or exclusive DVD. Going back to my post about the Disney Movie Club and how I joined because it was the only place I could purchase DuckTales: The Movie… it could be released exclusively and you need to join to purchase it.

All I'm saying is I really want to see this film, but I may never at this rate. I just want to know the story behind Br'er Rabbit and the Briar Patch.

Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I was going through my old blog and was about to delete it, when I found this. So I copied it over to my new blog. May be a tad outdated and my opinion may have changed, but enjoy.

This entry will contain spoilers from the new film and the book series.

I honestly don't know where to start. I told myself I had to see the movie twice before I judge it. Walking out of the theater, I was indifferent. I had just reread the book version prior to see the movie and that was the first time I did that. I always say I will but never actually do. I think if I hadn't reread the book before seeing the movie, I think I would've been happier with it. I wouldn't have remembered everything that happened and I'd think that the movie copied the book.

Okay, so the first time I saw it (which was at midnight), I was disappointed. I had expected so much more. It's my second favorite book in the series (behind Prisoner of Azkaban). The second time I saw it, it was much better. It seemed less jumpy between scenes which was a major problem for me originally.

I was disappointed that they cut out scenes, people, and things that I found important. I really wish they included Dumbledore's funeral. Interviews reveal that they replaced the funeral with the scene where Dumbledore's lying on the ground and they light they're wands. I admit that I enjoyed that little memoir, but it didn't replace the entire last chapter of the film. I also really wish they would've battled at the castle. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than seeing Maggie Smith as McGonagall kicking ass. Haha.

I don't like that Scrimgeour was not in it when I think he should've been introduced. But I also see why they wouldn't want to pay Bill Nighy a lot of money for a 4 minute scene. With that said, I do like what they did for winter break. Since Scrimgeour was cut and he was the only significant thing that happens over holiday in that book I understand that they needed to fill that void with something big. So, after a while, I came to approve of the Burrow scene.

I love that Ginny was in it as much as she was. I also love the fact that Harry did not break up with her in the end of the film. It'll make it more romantic for the next movie. And Ron and Hermione were very cute. And Lavender was as annoying as she was in the book, plus she was funny. McLaggen angered me. What a cocky asshole.

Problems with Dumbledore however. I thought it was very... hmmm... inappropriate to make so many digs at his sexuality. Some of the things he did and things he said made him seem less of the amazing and powerful wizard he is supposed to be. Why did he ask to use the loo? Dumbledore doesn't pee!! He's Dumbledore! He has people pee for him. Lol. I don't know. It just seemed very out of character for him.

I feel like there was little explanation of the ring. They just showed it and expected people to know the story behind it. I feel they could've showed a little to it. The memory I mean. Or simply sat there and explained it. Maybe it'll be a deleted scene or something.

I would've been completely fine with it being a three and a half hour movie. I just want it all represented. But all in all I loved it. Even if it was the shittiest movie on earth, I'd stand by it because it is Harry Potter. Haha. Fantastic movie.

Previous Film: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

Next Film: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part I (2010)

Memorable Scene: Honey, I Shrunk the Kids - The Shrinking Scene

And Disney wants to remake this! Outrageous!!

I think I'm officially going to add this movie to my list of favorite movies of all time.

Don't ask what the black bar thing on the side is. That's there on all the full screen DVDs I scan into my computer.

*I edited scenes out of this clip.

I got a boo-boo.

Nasty, right? This week at work was floorset week, during which we release new merchandise to the sales floor and construct walls and such for that merchandise. Well, I was getting a heavy shelf down from the loft above the bathroom. On my way down, I slipped on the bottom-most step of the ladder. Then everything went fuzzy.

I don't remember how everything happened actually. I dropped the shelf and it hit the ground and fell against the wall in the narrow hallway, pinning my pinky finger. Then, I fell backwards and landed on the corner of the rolling rack which left a huge mark on my back. My manager was receiving shipment at the time and heard the thud and came to check on me.

My finger had a cut on it that was bleeding heavily. I put a bandaid on that. The remainder of the day was hell. Floorsets require heavy lifting, and well... your hands. I mean I need to fold clothes. You try folding clothes with a pinky finger that is pulsing with pain. I thought I broke it, but I could still bend it. So I said I jammed it. Because it hurt like a BITCH!

Anyways, now I have a cut and black stuff in my fingernail. Everybody's telling me that my nail is going to fall off and it'll take a couple months. I hope it doesn't fall off because ew, and ow! So we'll just have to wait and see. I just want the black stain-like thing under my nail to go away. I'll just have to buy nail polish that looks like my natural nail color! Ha. Yeah, I'm that desperate! Lol.

Hope you enjoyed that. I didn't.

Call Me Crazy, But I Haven't Seen These Movies

I am a movie buff. I love movies. I don't claim to know everything and I don't claim to have seen all of the greats. In fact, I haven't seen many of the greats. So, I compiled a list of 30 movies that I have not seen all the way through or at all. I know, I'm bad. Enjoy!

2. Grease - Watched probably 30 minutes of it. Didn't care for it.

3. Dirty Dancing

4. Schindler's List - I do want to see this movie. I just haven't gotten around to it.

5. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - I despise Clint Eastwood. Period.

Movie Review: Tron

Warning: May contain spoilers. You've been warned.

Out with the old and in with the new.

I recently bought Tron via Disney Movie Club and it finally came today and I watched it.

The first ten minutes had me totally confused. I didn't know anything about the movie going into it. The only information I knew came from the trailer for the new movie and the "Space Paranoids" World in Kingdom Hearts II. ;)

I was surprised that I actually liked it. The remake/sequel has a lot of potential. I had a hard time with the graphics though. When you're watching the film you constantly need to remember that it was made in the eighties and the "technological world" was completely original.

It got me really pumped for the new one coming out in December. The biking scenes will be phenomenal.

I also found the young Jeff Bridges to look exactly like Harrison Ford in the first Star Wars. He even sounded a bit like him. It was creepy and somewhat annoying.

Anyways, in my opinion, the movie was pretty good. Not amazing, but I'm glad I bought it. If you plan to watch it, you need to go into it thinking that it's very wants-to-be-CGI-but-it's-not-CGI. If you know what I mean. It tries to look high tech, but it comes out crappy looking compared to what comes out today in movies.

Remake the Wizard of Oz? Absolutely not!

We all know that the movie industry is running out of material. I mean, they made a sequel to Steve Martin's Pink Panther. You could easily name ten. Here's the test. Name ten remakes in 15 seconds (I'll give you five more seconds that you actually need). GO!

10. _____________________________

I came up with Cheaper by the Dozen, When a Stranger Calls, The Pink Panther, Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Day the Earth Stood Still, King Kong, Planet of the Apes, War of the Worlds, and The Wizard of Oz. What? The Wizard of Oz is not a remake you say? Hmm. Well, currently, many studios are working on scripts for a revamped Oz. Disney is one of them.

According to IMDb.com (aka Movie Heaven), Dark Oz (2010), The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (2011), Oz: The Return to Emerald City (2012), and Oz (2013) are all in the works.

I'm sorry, that's a line you do not cross. You cannot, absolutely CANNOT remake such a classic film. That's like remaking Casablanca, Schindler's List, or the Godfather. You just don't do it. It can't be touched. You can rerelease it into theaters or maybe reformat it for 3D, but you don't remake it. Disney is currently remaking 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. That's fine. Not many people have seen that movie, me included. I think it would be a great remake. But everyone's seen The Wizard of Oz.

However, after seeing Wicked: The Musical, I strongly believed (and still do) that if it were made into a motion picture correctly, it would be a Best Picture winner.

Anyways, I think remaking The Wizard of Oz is a huge mistake. Obama should make such a thing illegal! Lol. I'M NOT KIDDING! :)

Side-note: Disney wants to remake Honey, I Shrunk the Kids also. THAT PISSES ME OFF. I LOVE THAT MOVIE!

Johnny and Leo NEED Oscars!!

Whenever I watch movies that feature Leonardo DiCaprio or Johnny Depp, I always say "they seriously need an Oscar. Now!" Seriously. I can't think of anybody more deserving. Besides me. Haha. I was so incredibly happy when Kate Winslet received her Oscar for The Reader (a very good movie by the way), now it's time for her co-stars to get one.

She starred in Titanic and Revolutionary Road (or as I call it, Titanic 2: Jack Lives) with Leo and Finding Neverland with Johnny.

Leonardo DiCaprio rolls out dramatic roles every year. I don't think he's ever even been in a comedy (unless you think Catch Me If You Can is one, I'd consider it a comedic drama). He was nominated for an Oscar originally when he was nineteen for a Supporting Role in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (starring Johnny Depp). He lost to Tommy Lee Jones. Understandable, but that's really good! He was later nominated for leading roles in the Aviator in 2005 and Blood Diamond in 2007. He lost to Jamie Foxx and Forest Whitaker respectively.

But again, he pumps out dramatic roles like a machine and I think it's time he gets recognized for it.

Johnny Depp's not known for dramatic roles. He's known for insane ones. Insanely original. He was nominated for his role as Jack Sparrow in 2003's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Peter Pan creator J.M. Barrie in 2004's Finding Neverland, and as Sweeney Todd in 2007's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. He lost to Sean Penn, Jamie Foxx (same year as Leonardo DiCaprio), and Daniel Day-Lewis respectively.

I proves that Johnny can be a pirate, an imaginative writer, and a psycho. He's so original in his roles. He creates them so perfectly and he makes them stand out. He was the Mad Hatter, Edward Scissorhands, Cry-Baby, a bank robber, Ichabod Crane, Ed Wood, Gilbert Grape, Heath Ledger's replacement a schizophrenic man, and a re-imagined Willy Wonka. Johnny could play YOU better than you play yourself! Haha!

These two men deserve Oscars more than anyone alive. Even Hilary Duff... haha.... yeah...

Side note: Miley Cyrus was on the red carpet a year ago and was being interviewed about the Last Song and she said she hoped to be nominated. What are you NUTS!? LOL.

98 years ago today...

I'd just like to make note that 98 years ago today, at 2 AM this morning, the Titanic sank.

1,500 people were lost.

Can't wait for the 3D version of the greatest movie ever made, Titanic, to come to theaters in a couple years (hopefully next year). It's James Cameron's current project ;)

Random, I know.

Also, Happy Birthday to Emma Watson (Hermione Granger). Love her!!!

And happy tax day!

Did you ever notice...

Did you ever notice the red vs. blue between companies? Like how competitors are both red and blue. ie. Target and Walmart. Target is red and Walmart is blue. Idk. I've just always found it interesting.

I can't wear my earrings? Bullshit.

So work changed they're dress code. Yeah... one of those stories. Before, I couldn't wear my cartilage earring while working. I thought it was only slightly ridiculous. I understood; I got over it. Now, no earrings whatsoever.

Bullshit.

Now I can't wear my single, tiny, silver stud in my lobe. You can hardly see the damn thing! It's so stupid.

Girls in my workplace are allowed to wear 2 earrings in each lobe. That's the max. Guys, now, nothing. Um, sexism? Am I right?

It's not bad, if I remember. Like, yeah, I can just take them out. But to remember is a hassle, storing the tiny things away is a hassle, dealing with putting them back in... MAJOR HASSLE. My cartilage hole begins to close during a 9-hour shift. I basically have to re-pierce it everyday now. It hurts and, sometimes, it bleeds.

When it comes to piercings, I think it should be the decision of the store manager. If it looks flattering, it can be left in. Mine looks preppy, sexy, cool. Kids want it. At least I don't have a lip piercing, eyebrow piercing, GAUGES IN MY EARS, whatever!

Work, you're bullshit!

Funny Scene: The Emperor's New Groove - The Dinner Scene

I think Kronk, Kuzco, and Yzma are in the favorite characters category. They're all amazing. Haha. And then there's John Goodman as the fat, nice guy...

Another Miley song stuck in my head!

Here's the newest Miley Cyrus song I downloaded. Everybody's listening to When I Look At You right now, but that was so last month! Haha. I'm way ahead! (Apparently Miley just wrapped up filming a new music video for the first single off her new album.)

-Tenderness

-Defendor

-Haunted

Nothing special... :/

Tyler Perry's Shut the Fuck Up: The Movie

Tyler Perry is a fucking idiot. I don't know why he feels the need to add his name in front of everything that's his. Books, movies, shows, plays. What an annoying, selfish prick. I hadn't even seen his face until last year, but I had heard his name a million times.

All his movies and shows:

Tyler Perry's Diary of a Mad Black Woman

Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion

Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls

Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married?

Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys

Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns

Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail

Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All by Myself

Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too?

"Tyler Perry's House of Payne"

"Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns"

I'm surprised he didn't force them to change the title for Star Trek to include his name since he made a cameo appearance.

TYLER PERRY, GO THE FUCK AWAY!

Hilary Duff's new movies! Yay!

Hilary Duff's newest movie comes to ABC Family next Sunday and I saw a clip for it today and it looks pretty good.

I don't know what the movie is about, but I know she's a writer for Cosmo. It'll probably be like How to Lose A Guy in Ten Days. And I think that she's the beauty and she falls in love with a business man... I just got a hunch. Haha.

Then I saw that she completed filming another movie, Provinces of Night (the trailer is below) and that looks pretty good too. It has Whitey and Peyton (Hilarie Burton) from One Tree Hill in it and Val Kilmer. But I can't really tell what it's about from the trailer.

The plot summary from IMDb.com says:

"E.F. Bloodworth has returned to his home - a forgotten corner of Tennessee - after forty years of roaming. The wife he walked out on has withered and faded, his three sons are grown and angry. Warren is a womanizing alcoholic, Boyd is driven by jealousy to hunt down his wife and her lover, and Brady puts hexes on his enemies from his mamma's porch. Only Fleming, the old man's grandson, treats him with the respect his age commands, and sees past all the hatred to realize the way it can poison a man's soul. It is ultimately the love of Raven Lee, a sloe-eyed beauty from another town, that gives Fleming the courage to reject this family curse."

Probably one of those random movies that only makes sense to some people. Haha. You know what I'm talking about. Donnie Darko *cough, cough*
