Well, I can but then I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep. It's been like this for like a week and a half. My circadian clock is on the fritz, majorly!

One interesting thing I've been noticing though, is that I have a lot more dreams, or at least I remember theme better. Lots and lots of dreams for the short periods of time I go to sleep. Really exciting dreams. The type you don't want to wake up from. The type that give you epiphanies about your self.

Also, been listening to a lot of M83 and other songs I want to use for my game.

Anyway, my friend asked me if I could make a cover for his new CD. He gave me this statue called the Void, a Boombox, and some tapes as reference. and this is what I came up with.

O_O speechless

I'm not gna write it out, you can take a look at the what happened this morning, here.

But, its sad, and stupid.

It brings up something to mind. Aside from the obvious horrid situation of death and injury.

The effect a movie can have. We don't know for sure, his motives. But, it would be one hell of a coincidence if it had nothing to do with the insane terrorist theme in batman.

Why would you do something like that?

Do we glorify violent villains to an unhealthy degree?

To the point were some one lost and sick may feel they can only find recognition, feeling or ..impact by destroying others.

Made a related post a while ago ..I saw the movie at midnight. I was gna make a little review, but I guess I leave that for a later date.

a spontaneous journal entry from today:

I think I denied my desires so as not to let myself down or feel failure. Desire is the spine of plot. You gata give some to get some.

I will feel like a failure if I have no desires. Apathy is not as pleasant as it use to be.

Not that I was bored, but I had downloaded "It's kind of a funny story". A movie I had never got to watch, but had wanted to see, and I figured ...hey why not download those movies in the back of my mind that I never watched before. I would like to give short reviews of the movies in order of my personal favorites. Least to greatest.

5) It's Kind of a funny story

This was kind of a funny story, and that's why I liked it. I like depressing stuff too, and it took place in a mental house ..but it wasn't depressing. It was actually quite funny with Zach Galifianakis as his dry humored eccentric wingman. He learnes, as one does by living in a mental house for a week, that his situation isn't as bad as he thought it was. Has some fun moments, and the fact that the love interest is played by the cute Emma Roberts who has recently been playing in more adult films.

4)Garden State

It's a movie about the young and lost. Written and directed by Zack Braff, the one playing the main role. Numbed by life and medication, he's just recently returned to his home town for his mothers funeral. There he meets some old friends also lost in there own ways, as well as Sam, an out going, super quirky, sweet hearted Pathological liar played by Natalie Portman. It's just a nice combination, to see her peel him open.

From here on out the orders are just personal preference, these are the greatest movies I've ever seen.

3)Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

This is the romantic version of inception. It's such a cerebral movie, yet arguably has more heart than brains. Joel Barish, played by Jim Carrey has recently agreed to erase his lover from his mind.. I think thats all I can say with out giving too much away. But let me just say, that this movie is just Brilliant, it demands to be watched many times, and has such a real and deep message to it.

2)Little miss sunshine

This is a story that tells a lot about life, in such a funny and memorable package. The very embodiment of a movie with heart. I think the equation of this story is that, such a dramatically messed up family would tolerate each other and be held together because of one innocent spunky little girl, who has a dream to win the little miss sunshine pageant. Don't worry, this movie isn't about the pageant.

1)Lost in translation

Perhaps one of my favorite movies ever! ...yeah, if not my favorite. (I'm very indecisive) A movie about lost souls in a stand still life. Taking place in the foreign world of Tokyo. A movie star/husband (Bill Murray) and a young wife (Scarlett Johansson) do something that resembles falling in love. There's something about Bill Murrays smart remarks and Scarlett's warm receptive smiles. Bob Harris's blunt wisdom and Scarlett Johansson's intimate and quite observation of the tokyo city. I think I love this movie so much because I fell in love with Scarlett and was overly charmed by Bob Harris.

I thought it was funny that all these movies on my waiting list were Dramedies and generally about finding your self.

Yes it is a reboot and so it tries to be different, and it succeeds, to a certain extent.

We've got Gwen Stacy, the Lizard, mysterious parents, and a Peter Parker who actually looks like Peter Parker.

Things I liked/loved:

The acting/casting was superb! Andrew Garfield is amazing, Emma Stone as well, and the villian played by Rys Ifans.

Seriously, the way Andrew Garfield played Parker was really great! This time around Parkers got a little more balls to start with while still being very nerdy. He just plays it so real, man. It's a sight to see.

I think I may have liked the romance between them more than anything else.

Emma Stone is adorable!

That there still in highschool

It's such a good looking movie! The suite actually looks fantastic on screen. The cloths the have Gwen and Peter wear are cool. The subtle way the show 'spidey sense'.

The humor. It's got alot of that type of dialog improvish humor you've got to be there to appreciate. As well as Spidey's smart mouth.

Things I didn't like:

The over use of Spidey's mouth. At some moments it just seemed like Spidey was just trying too hard to be a wise ass. Or more like he continued on being a wise ass when it wasn't nessasary. (like a drawn out joke, that was funny in the beginning)

Speaking of which, maybe its just the editing I'm talking about. Some scenes seemed to carry on longer than needed.

He's so human. Lastly. This one is the most opinionated ..and undermines the very bases of what this movie was going for.. and actually why I was excited to see it. I am very much contrasting it with the first Spider-man when I say he was too human for my taste. It's just the role that other people had to take for Spider man to succede in this movie was so huge.. he's just not as cool.

In contrast. The original movie spider man was so amazing that it wasn't a question of if he could survive ..but can he save everyone else? Can he be in more one place at one time? and he would many times be able to with great cleverness. and sometimes he wasn't. But, that was his weakness.. he had to save people. People didn't have to save him.

So in summary: this new Spider-man is a hell of a lot prettier, but the old one would woop him. hehe, no but, go see it, its pretty great!
