I give you: THE BRATZ MOVIE!!
That's right, folks. My HDFS 239 teacher has assigned a teen movie analysis paper and I need YOUR HELP to watch the hell out of it!
Remember though, this is a serious assigment. Only people who are willing to thouroughly analyze and deconstruct the deepest level of meaning from this serious film are allowed to attend.
If YOU think you have what it takes to participate in this seriously serious research study, leave me a message. It is essential that I recieve different perspectives on the many layers of social interaction accurately portrayed in this film.
Friends, don't fail me now...

11:26 pm - Attack of the Breakfast Samurai
|
My name is Lucci and I am very, very manly.
I build structures from redwood forests out of my bare hands.
I catch wild antelope and eat them alive.
I scratch my hairy chest and roar at lesser men until they turn their tails in epic shame. Then I laugh as they recede away from me, into the horizon. Then I get into my rugged Plymouth Voyager and catch up to them just so I can run them over. Twice.
I am Lucci, and I am sexy -- some might even perhaps say too sexy, not only for my shirt; Milan, New York, Japan; your party; my car, my hat, and my cat; but also for this post.

3:15 am - NUDE NO MORE!!

Hey all,
I'm posting to mark out for an awesome website that you should have heard of by now.
It's called www.threadless.com
It's all user submitted designs and slogans for shirts that are sold for generally $12 to $15 a pop. Also, you vote for shirts and slogans to make them become a reality. If your designs/slogans get chosen to be made into shirts, you can get anywhere from $200 to $2000(!)!!
Not only that, but it acts as a blog and catalogue for a number of other sites you may or may not be a member to (ie. Myspace) so that people can go to one convienient place to find all kind of your crap!
I urge you all to join the site and start having fun. My Threadless name is DinnertimeNinja, and first slogan I just submitted off the top of my head was "If you can read this, I probably should have come up with a joke." If you would be so kind, please go to my profile on it, and vote "I'd buy it" for that (and any other) slogans and maybe they'll get made into shirts! I might even give out free Threadless shirts to people who voted for me if it gets made!
Keep me updated on your stuff, too so I can return the favor.
Oh, and if you plan on buying a shirt from the site, do me a favor and go through this link http://www.threadless.com?streetteam=DinnertimeNinja and I'll get some free shirt money.
I'm off to go vote for more shirts!

Seriously though, did anyone even WATCH Lost tonight?!
Do I have to discuss its layers of mystery ALONE? Do I have to tell MYSELF how awesome it was over and over again?!?
...
"What did you think of Lost tonight, Rick?"
"I though I had to change my pants about five times during its duration, Lucci."
"You know, Rick. You are one handsome and incitefully sexy young lad."
"I KNOW, can you believe it?! But don't count yourself out there, Lucci. If I were a woman, I'd TOTALLY do you..."
"You and what army...?"
...
And it just gets weird form there...
current mood: THE HANSO CORP. OWNS MY SOUL!!

I'm putting you on official ALERT, America!
My man (and yours), Pat Robertson, has OFFICIALLY been told by God that storms will hit America's coastlines THIS YEAR!!
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12851397/?GT1=8199
This sort of specific information could have ONLY come from the big 'G' Himself.
So now I'M officially raising the Apocolypse Meter™ to Rapture Red™. That's the highest it can go, people! Don't even bother going to work or school this Summer. Run for the hills if you know what's good for you.

4:02 pm - "My left name is tremendous savings, Ms. America!"
|
Today only, contained within this post I'm offering TWO, not one, but TWO signs of the apocalypse!
Sign 1: Me posting.
and
Sign 2: Dead or Alive: THE MOVIE
Now, for those of you not familiar with the Dead or Alive videogame series, it's basically a 3D fighting game that is often decried by fighting game enthusiasts as lacking in story and substance and concentrating too much on female jiggling, skimpy outfits, and it's female characters in general. (Gamers complaining about TOO MUCH jiggle?! PREPOSTEROUS!!) A "sequel" was even released featuring ONLY the female characters called "DOA EXTREME BEACH VOLLEYBALL."
As you might be able to infer, the integrity of the series has been yearning for a much needed face-lift from day one and has only sank even further since.
BUT NO MORE!!!
This movie will be seen by the world as a REVOLUTION in modern cinema. It will be heralded as the finest achievement ever put to film. Today, my friends, I give you a look into the FUTURE of video-game-to-movie adaptations!

8:14 pm - Another public service announcement...
|
I don't know how many of you people are HUGE Batman fans like me, but I DO know that you all should be!
Just released to the interweb, the first trailer of the REBIRTH of the Batman franchise!
The whole franchise is going in a new, darker, direction. Which is how it should have been the first 4 times. (5 if you count the 60's Batman movie. Which, if it weren't for society, I surely would.)
Just go to www.batmanbegins.com to see it. It's actually more of a teaser than a trailer, but it lets you see some of the splendid locales where the movie was filmed, as well as getting to hear Christian Bale's sexy Bat-Voice!
So in conclusion...
Christian Bale as Batman?
-Awesome...
Ken Watanabe (the guy from Last Samurai) as Ra's Al Ghul?
-Astounding...
Cillian Murphy (the guy from 28 Days Later) as the Scarecrow?
-Seriously, you guys from Batman Begins, have you been reading my diary??!
current mood: excited
current music: Na na na na na na na na BATMAN!!!

I got this from a friend, and I have no idea if it works or not, but it's a pretty damn official-looking site.
And hey, if it IS real, then we can get free iPods by doing as little as signing up for an ebay account and bidding on something and referring a few friends.
Please click this link and give it 5 minutes of your time. I'd appreciate it. And also, I'd appreciate the iPod I might get. With every fiber of my being.

I really liked the idea of this thingy, so take a minute and show me that you love me through hilarious pictures...
(Oh, and NO porn pictures. This is a clean journal, and I know that even when you put in some word like "cuddle," you're just as likely to get links to CuddleButtSex.com as you are to AdorableBunnies.com)
1. Think of a word you would use to describe me
2. Go to Google Image Search and search for that word.
3. Select the picture you see as most fitting, and post it as a reply. (Explanations are optional.)
4. Post this meme in your journal.
PS. DON'T go to adorablebunnies.com!!!
From what I can tell it's some kind of seudo-porn/gross pictures site. cuddlebuttsex.com however, is a domain STILL up for grabs you lucky readers, you...

It seems my anti-Italian Job entry has struck a few nerves :-)
I browsed my friends page only to find a single line post from a one "ShamptonianXPRS" reading, "Nothing is sacred anymore," linked to my entry.
Perhaps I'm just a jerk, but I couldn't help but smile...

3:11 am - Never have I been so angry at a movie... Well, maybe The Crucible...
|
Today, I saw the original The Italian Job.
Today, I died a little inside.
These occurrences were indeed related.
For those of you unfamiliar with the circumstances surrounding this movie, it is described by countless sources as "a timeless classic," "infinitely quotable," and "one of the most entertaining movies ever made."
I am here to dispel these egregious errors in misjudgment.
This movie was terrible. Utterly awful in every way. The acting was bad, the pacing was horribly slow, the dialog was painfully unnatural, and most disturbingly for a movie hailed as "infinitely quotable," it was simply unfunny. The only times I laughed at the movie were at its own expense.
Now, some of you may be doubting me in my assertions. Perhaps writing me off as uncultured, or having no respect for classic cinema. Well, here I have PROOF of the movie's ill-begotten spoils! All one needs do is search on Google for some "memorable quotes" from this movie. Quotes which, coming from a movie that is "infinitely quotable" and "comic genius," should reflect the quality of the movie itself.
Here's some snippets...
"Get the wheels in line. Get the wheels in line!"
--Whoa there, almost made me cough up a lung!
"Try putting your foot down, Tony."
--Yikes! I'd hate to be Tony! He's getting the tongue-lashing of a lifetime!
"Gentlemen, we must assume they are here."
--NO, we must assume this movie is AWESOME!
"Put your foot down, put your foot down, we'll lose them easy."
--Seems a lot of people are having trouble driving at speed. WITH HILARIOUS RESULTS!!
"1) I don't want him killed, just given a good going over. 2) I know exactly what you mean, Mr Bridger."
--WHOA, slow down! I'm not through CLUTCHING MY SIDE!
"I hope he likes spaghetti, they serve it four times a day in Italian prisons!"
--Too bad he doesn't like comedy, though...
Even the lines that seem to be the better of the bunch didn't even make me smile while watching the movie. Gems such as...
"Just remember this - in this country they drive on the wrong side of the road."
--A joke so old, I don't know how it continues to illicit laughter.
And the BIGGEST and most WELL KNOWN quote from the movie: The one everyone seems to equate with the sheer 'awe' found in this movie:
[Arthur blows up a truck.]
"You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"
--This reminds me of Ben Stiller's character in every movie ever. Something bad happens and he goes, "GRRR, I'M ACTING BEFUDDLED AND MAD TO TRY AND BE FUNNY!"
Then there's the infamous "chase scene." Often deemed the best chase scene in all of cinema. The problem is, it's just as slow as the rest of the movie. At NO POINT did I ever feel like the characters were even REMOTELY close to being apprehended. The police stayed at bay while the chase-ee's drove at moderate speed in front of them. There were numerous scenes composed of nothing but the escape cars driving down a road for 30 seconds or so. Completely absent of mounting tension or action of any sort. I think I found myself even MORE bored with the chase, than the rest of the movie. Which is saying a lot.
Finally, I shall address the ending. In a movie so devoid of suspense in every way, the gang ends up teetering on the edge of a cliff (Due to their own stupidity, mind you) in a bus with the gold over the cliff, and them on the other side, counterbalancing the weight, trying to drum up a bit of crowd response for the precarious situation. The problem is, that all of the characters in the movie are so forgettable and 1-dimensional, that we don't actually care if they end up with the gold or not. As a matter of fact, and I usually have a good memory for this sort of thing, I can only remember the name of the main character in the movie, and NO ONE else. Everyone else was just some random, underdeveloped (even moreso than the main character), extra, that we're told is essential to the machinations of the heist, but as it turns out, any hired goon could have done the work of ANY of the characters in the movie!
So the movie ends with the main character, trying to reach the gold without making the bus fall, and saying, "Hang on lads, I've got a great idea. "
...
Roll credits.
W
T
F-ING
F
!!
So in the end, who knows if they end up with the gold, and who cares? Yes, brilliant. And in my searching, SO many people have toted it as one of the greatest and most memorable endings ever. Go see Lock Stock, the movie and it's simliarly themed ending are better in every way.
Sorry for my long-windedness, but I was actually physically angered by this movie, and it's throngs of supporters. I suggest that everyone see this movie again, this time not holding it high on a pedestal, and seeing it's flaws in a clearer light.
PS. The movie was filmed "economically" with only ONE deleted scene. There were not multiple takes, or 'versions' of shots. Basically EVERYTHING filmed was put into the movie. This ENSURES that numerous oversights will be taken and bad scenes (in acting and context) will remain in the movie. Good movies are NOT made this way.

1:34 am - Mr. President, the wolf-sharks have started breeding...
|
I love getting off work early. It makes me feel like the world is at my fingertips and I can do anything I want!
...and then I sit at home and do nothing.
But not today! Aaron and I saw The Day After Tomorrow, and while it had some lame moments, it was quite the entertaining movie, and it probably showcased the best special effects I have ever seen. Let's run down the checklist of why this was a cool movie.
-Tornados in L.A. (right where they belong)
-New York freezes over. (forget the fact that the whole northern hemisphere does too. This is the freezing that matters)
-Emmy Rossum (OMG almost jailbait, but not quite... Thanks, J.C.)
-Jake Gyllenhaal (always remembered as Donnie Darko, always forgotten as Bubble Boy, always up 'Stud Creek' with a sexy paddle)
...and the most important coolness-factor...
-Half-wolf-half-shark genetic hybrids
Ok, so they don't actually exist. Here, or in the movie. But there were wolves on the lamb (heh) and a joke about sharks that I made. And such began the wolf-sharks!
Every time things escallated to the next level of hell, Aaron and I would comment on the wolf sharks to each other.
"Mr. President, radiation has fused wolf and shark DNA. We've got a problem on our hands..."
"Mr. President, the wolf-sharks have started breeding."
"Mr. President, the wolf-sharks have hacked into our computers."
"Mr. President, the wolf-sharks have developed a sort of mechanized armor that is impervious to artillary."
Basically, things were constantly going to hell and back in the movie, so we had a lot of wolf-shark ideas.
Also, this movie has messed with my head, and every time I look outside, I expect to see giant storms brewing ominously in the distance, and a pan-out of other familys across the area looking out their respective windows in worried bemusement.
Hey, it could happen!
As I told Jer, "Sure, 'scientists' might say it's impossible, but the scientists in the movie thought the same thing, and boy were they ever wrong!"
*swish*
current mood: chipper
current music: Jer trying to sleep. (Good luck! *type type type*)
