SCOTT PILGRIM V.S. THE WORLD

So I've seen this here movie twice already! It's that cool haha. I didn't get to read it before the movie came out... I almost did. My friend let me borrow it for a few weeks, but it was right when school started. In fact now that I think about it I probably had it the whole semester, not a few weeks, and then after school ended my enthusiasm diminished instead of elevating to read it.

I wish now with all that free time I'd had that I'd read it.

But I'll read it one of these days.

so having said that, the movie was great fun. the game refferences and humor and action were sweet ^_^. I really couldn't figure out what would happen next since the world of S. Pilgrim was so foreign to me. All of the characters and things were so new. it felt nice to not have any previous strong ideas about what would happen in the movie version.

So Scott has to DEFEAT Romona's (purple haired girl) 7 evil ex's if he's gonna survive to to date her for a long time or marry her or whatever. The X's will always be in the way if they are not dealt with.

Each Ex was unique, i really liked Matthew Patel, the 1st Ex, cool thing is he stands out to me. Each fight one-ups the next, which is good, but I found I could remember all of them and enjoy them equally. The fights anyway. The X's themselves? I loved Matthew Patel, Todd Ingram (3rd X), and Roxie (Richter 5th X). Chris Evans, the 2nd X was great, really but for sum reasonI just gravitated to these three more as characters + their battles; they stood out more to me.

Tge music in this movie is great. Like its totally legit! Real creativity went into the songs. It wasn't full of other artists singing to anything. Even if they contributed it was all instrumental. I totally want this sountrack cuz the songs keep going thru my head =) The Inception soundtrack I need and Scott Pilgrim V.S. The World I need too.

The characters, all of them are silly and fun. Wallace, Scott's gay roomate gives us a lot of laughs. at the same time he rags on Scott, besides Ramona and Knives (who I'll get to in a minute), Wallace seem to care about Scott the most... as a true friend. It's like he looks out for him like a little brother, or he'll look out for others if he thinks Scott is being a jerk and can't see that for himself. He'll actually try to save ppl from Scott haha. Btw he's played by Kieran Culkin the younger brother of Macaulay Culkin. I hadn't seen him since the 1998 film The Mighty with Sharon Stone.

Now for Knives Chau. The cutest movie character ever, and there's lots of competition from Disney and the likes right, but this girl is adorable. She's so innocent and funloving and everything, I had to wonder how Scott snagged her in the first place! She's such a crazy loyal character and I thought the writers fleshed out her interaction with Scott very well. At some points I thought they were just done with her, but then she'd show up again later but it would make sense. She's just so nutty and cute and funny and also full of surprises.

Patel is comparred to a pirate but his epicically over animated voice is funny. His fighting skills are crazy too. Todd Ingram (Brandon Routh) is cool and I love his white color scheme, with the #3 on his chest ;) and his chucks and white Saiyan hair and Vegan psycho powers. Plus his guitar skills are awesome, I like how they went from fighting to getting "funky". Evan as a dirtbag, Brandon couldn't help but look heroic lol. And Roxy, Ramona's "sexyphase" was cool too, her ninja powers and fight with both Scott and Ramona was funny and cool and I like how she showed up for a sec, threatened him and then came back to finish him (or try) later lol. Nice story pacing.

Ok its getting late and there is more I could say. Well I did hear its only made $11,000,000 right now but I feel it'll be a cult classic, as sad as the gross revenue is =/ I still enjoyed it and look forward to reading it, as well as more webcomics. The movie even managed to mature the characters so they got serious sometimes, not uber serious tho but enuff so. I thought that was neat, somber when it needed to be and then back to rolling on the floor laughing =D

Thanks Bryan Lee O'Malley <3 haha and best of luck to you and your wife (Hope Larson) in your endeavors.

Josiah Hearts Superman

That would be my contribution to the "My Heart Is..." collaboration going on at hitRECord.org... well one of the MANY collabs going on.

See after Inception came out I just couldn't get enough of Nolan's work and so I've been reading articles about the movie and about the actors nonstop... and then I learned of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's production company hitRECord.org. It's where regular ppl like you and me can go and be a part of a collborative pot of creativity... i've been calling it better than youtube, personally.

So that image above I made last night, just last night, a heart made up of SUPERMAN stuff, all the stuff i own, comics, shirts and hats ^_^.

You won't believe me but I really didin't realize how much Superman stuff I own!

So you can find me there nowadays but I'm still here, and i hope to add more stuff to my youtube page when i can.

I'm really enjoying trying to work with other ppl and just throw stuff together to make art happen, little successes here and there. God seems to be arranging a lot, and has definitley givien me the space to participate in more. He's sustaining this i think too, so i don't have to do too much ;]

Peace out, more writing coming soon.

INCEPTION



oh my gosh!


ok i'm hoping tonight i can put my review video together. its prob my favorite one and i almost watched other ppls videos on youtube but decided against it lol. i'll just plan out my video and then begin work on it.


i think this one will be cool bczu its different. i took a cue from Indymogul at youtube and this time i interviewed my friends and got their take on Inception ^_^

Which i think is great bcuz it was "guys night out". The brotherhood got together and after spending hours b4 the film just talking about comic books and upcoming movies, we hit up Chris Nolan's latest gem.

Here's what we thought of it.

Sorry it too me so long to upload, the movie came out like a week or two ago by now, just work has kept me UBER BUSY. But yeah, its my favorite review video yet bcuz of my friends and i didn't need to talk all that much.

I'm glad Nolan got to make this movie of his dreams, pun intended lol. I thought of it as The Dark Knight2 as well haha its weird. But the movie is crazy good and you should go see it sappy-ASAP if u haven't yet.

There's so much more I would have said but its late, both specifically tonight and seeing as the movie has already come out and some of my excitement has diminished somewhat.

i'm just happy to have uploaded the video and seen the movie with my buds.

So go see it and always dream big!

Inception & Super 8.

Chirstopher Nolan is the man! Ever since Batman Begins I have kept my eye on this guy and he only got better with The Prestige. Before all of that Memento set him apart in my mind from other directors and storytellers for his twisted conclusions and intriguing ideas. And recently The Dark Knight blew every1's minds and even took away an Oscar for a supporting character (R.I.P. Heath Ledger).

And now: INCEPTION



J.J. Abrams rocks my socks, ALL HOMO (j/k) hahaha. He's a brilliant artist, ever since his show Alias I've watched out for this guy, tho i couldn't get into Lost, later it was like he wrote his recent hit Fringe just for me ^_^. His directorial debut in '06, Mission Impossible 3 was very impressive; that bridge scene with the planes and explosions still stands out in my mind. His next creation (tho he didint direct) Cloverfield was a roller caster ride experience... to this day I've only seen it once because the adrenaline rush is just too much for me sometimes lol.

But then he had to go make Star Trek...

Yeah that deserved a space all to itself, so serious. God bless you J.J.

But next year he hits us with SUPER 8



You will see the influences these two great film makers have had on me in the near future I am telling you now. It's gonna be great. For now, i'll sit back and enjoy.

That's all folks, peace out!
