in BEDA where the topics get slim. actually, i got to that point that night i blogged about that darn gif. but either way i've got a couple of things to talk about
1. on the topic of my last post: it has come to my attention that Michael Myers does have a motive, though extremely simple. apparently, the reason he keeps killing is because he wants to relive his original murder. even though i've seen Halloween quite a few times, i never caught this. it might have to do with the fact that i tune out Dr. Loomis whenever he starts talking :P
2. Inception. i'm starting to think that it's a real thing, as crazy as that sounds.* i've only watched the movie once, and that was March 17th, almost a month ago. i'm still thinking about that movie everyday, almost all the time. i've tweeted about it more than once in the last few days. it's kinda freaking me out. i think about movies a lot, but hardly ever like this. Harry Potter is the only other thing that dwells on in my mind for this long. i'm just gonna assume that this is a sign of a great movie and move on to the next topic, which is
3. Tron: Legacy (surprised? you shouldn't be.) i've been thinking about this a lot too. this has to do with he fact that i listen to the soundtrack every night. the strange thing isn't that though: it's that i haven't seen the movie. and also, i've come to the conclusion that i'm creeped out by the majority of the cast and that this will hinder me in moving foward to finally seeing this movie... yeah.
so that's all i have for tonight. i think i just proved myself wrong anyway...
mood: good (finally!)

*i also wanna blame the posters for furthering the inception. my desktop and ipod both have inception walls. it's in my technology too :0
**yes, i know i've been watching her almost everyday. she's just that good

you could cut a hoe...
day 10 of BEDA. topic: slashers
not like slashers like people who write slash though... you probably didn't even think of that. but anyway, i'm talking about the fictional movie killers. i was on the ANOES forums and this girl started a discussion asking about the merchandise from other series and she said this about the Friday the 13th series:
"But I think that's one reason why I'd like to see something like HNWJ from Fri 13, is b/c I've always seen the Fri 13 series as mindless chaos, just blood guts, gore and BOOBS and profanity; and Jason just seems so typical to me, big guy wearing a mask killing people *at least Michael was original*"
now, i'm not, like, insulted or anything. as much as i love Jason, i'm not enamored with the F13 series. it just seems like everyone thinks he's just out to kill for no reason, when i know it's not like that at all.
now it's not that it's a misconception, per say, because after he comes back form the end he does become a killing machine, but in the beginning it wasn't really like that. it's inevitable that he'll get compared to Michael because of what Jason becomes after part 4, and then you factor in Leatherface and you'd think you'd have three of the same but (surprise!) you don't.
with classic Michael, it's kind of hard to explain. i can't really tell you why he did what he did, because with the continuity i follow (1, 2, H20, Resurrection), your guess is as good as mine. it really seems like he just kills for no reason, and if he does have a reason, he sure didn't tell any of us. it really seems like there's nothing behind that mask. he's not mindless, but it just seems like there's no one there. remake Michael is more there, for lack of a phrase. he had motivation in the beginning, at least for breaking out of the loony bin. his reason for killing is still lost on me (if there was one). i'm hoping it's not because he feels wronged or something, because that would be quite backwards.
(excuse me if i get a little sappy after this.) on Leatherface's wikipedia page is says that the reason Leatherface doesn't talk and wears a mask is because without the mask, he's nothing. the mask is him. this kinda makes sense when it comes to original Leatherface, i think. i do know that he has a motivation though. the thing is that he doesn't know any better than killing people. he was raised thinking that killing people is okay, whatever you have to do for the family. technically he's just getting by. this goes fr both of them. when it comes down to the mask though, remake Leatherface is a person. he's still himself without the mask on.
now with Jason it's a completely different story. he kills because a) his mom would want him to and b) he feels wronged. in his case he actually was wronged: they almost drowned him. not that that justifies what he does, but at least they did something to him. up until the 4th movie that was his thing. after he came back in the 6th movie it didn't matter because he was a zombie thing anyway. it's the almost exact same thing with remake Jason: they almost killed him and killed his mom (don't know if she was crazy like old Jason's mom), so he started killing them back. he wasn't always a zombie thing, that's just how it turned out.
hopefully i helped you guys see that all killers are not created equally.
p.s.: i'm not gonna get into Freddy and stuff, because he doesn't even fall into the same category.
mood: kinda okay... i guess

stuff about a movie i haven't seen yet
so i was randomly thinking about Tron, which is something i do a lot, and i was thinking about all the things Sam did that i could never do. the only problem is that the only things i've seen Sam 'do' are from clips... because i still haven't seen Tron: Legacy yet. but still, from what i've seen he's waaaaaay braver than me, because i'm a wuss :P
like, for starters, when alan tells him he got that page, from what it seems he just goes down to the arcade. i would've had to think about that long and hard. especially because i'm terrified of ghosts. and then after i got zapped there i would've never left the building...
for two, it seems like he'll just talk to ANYONE. i wouldn't talk to anyone. i guess this is partly because most of the people on the Grid freak me out. and having a drink with Castor? i wouldn't take a drink from someone like him. i wouldn't even get close enough to him to talk.
and Clu... just no... like, i would cry.
so yeah... basically, i'd go to the grid and just go to sleep... forever.
mood: sucky because my throat still hurts :(

leading men
day 7 of BEDA, and today's topic is dudes :)
so i was on tumblr, and i happened to come across this blog that was obssessed, and i mean OBSESSED, with the cast of inception. the captions on the pictures made me think about crushing on celebs and what not.
now, i do not consider myself a fangirl. not because i'm above it (no one is above being a freak... except maybe Morgan Freeman), but because i don't freak out everytime one of my fave dude actors is on tv or something. not that being a fangirl is a bad thing or anything
i want to like actors because they can act, not just because they're cute. that's my main thing. i used to be that kind of fan, but i'm really trying to move away from that. it feels... shallow, and i don't wanna be shallow like i used to be.
luckily, i have impeccably good taste in 'leading' men, so they're all good actors. this makes my job a lot easier.
moral of the story: i don't want to go crazy again, like i did when i was younger.
in other news, that blog i mentioned in the beginning of the post, that's the one that had to gif of Tom Hardy in all his glory... can't unsee that...

ginny after dark
welcome to the late night edition of BEDA... and by late night, i mean after 9.
so what to talk about tonight? should i talk about how i watched GoF with the rifftrax? should i talk about some other things i did today? should i mention that i saw a LOT of Tom Hardy? i'll just talk about all of it, i guess.
so first things first, i spent my morning reblogging things on tumblr. i had such fun, and i found two new blogs to follow. lots of nerd jokes and nericoollike pics (and michael aranda. can't forget michael aranda).
second, i watched GoF today for the first time in a looooong tinme, and man, it was great. i actually was on the verge of tears twice watching it this time. most emotional movie watching experience EVAR.
third... i saw Tom Hardy's pene. there, i said it! i seen it, and that was a LOT more than i had been hoping to see... i know, i can't believe it either. damn tumblr gif's
that's all for today. sorry it's so short, but all that stuff is actually productive for a day off for me. at least i didn't lay in bed and listen to spill reviews all day :P
Mood: wanting to sleep
listening to: everybody hates chris

obi wan and chicken, domesticated
welcome to day 5 of BEDA. today i regret to inform you that i'm not going to bitch about Silk Spectre II and Dr. Manhattan. i'm actually feeling decent today, so i don't want to be negative.
so anyway, the thing that i do want to talk about is Bad Astronomy. i got lucky and came across Phil Plait's book when i was looking for pretty pictures books of space stuff, and boy am i glad that i picked it up. this book is opening my eyes to how much the general public doesn't know about science in general, let alone specifics.
its funny though. the first chapter in part 1 of the book is about people balancing eggs on the first day of spring. i have never heard of this before, and i my first thought was 'wtf? why would someone do that?". but there are people that belive that there's something about the gravity because of the earth's alignment of the sun, but really? it still makes no sense. it's just amazing what some people don't know about the mechanisms of their own world.
the third chapter of part 1 mentions Han Solo talking about how he can make a race in 12 parsecs when parsecs are a distance measurment, not a time measurment. that's alos a really cool part. Phil lays out all these sayings that that have been twisted. let's just say that i'll never use light-years the wrong way :)
a little short today, but that's okay.
mood: in-diff-er-ent *patrick voice*
