lonely lonely lonely lonely day

oh, did i mention my sister ditched me for a pool party?

well, the plan was to go to see movies, so with or without her, i went.

left the house at 1230 and didn't get back until 2030. yes, i was moviehopping. hop hop hop like a bunny. bunny watched dodgeball, harry potter, and around the world in 80 days.

i used to say that the best part of watching a movie in the theater is the previews, and it's still true. spongebob squarepants movie is coming up in november; i think i'll go gather the physics kids since they all love spongebob. then harold from american pie is kicking it with kumar from van wilder in harold and kumar go to white castle. haha. perfect setting: a horny asian guy with a horny indian guy. it's gonna be funny. in the preview, kumar got pulled over by a cop who said to him, "kumar. haha. what kinda name is that? five o's and two u's?" poor indian guy. =P

the incredibles seems like it's going to be a funny movie. toy story, monster's inc, and finding nemo were all great, so since the same people make the incredibles, it should be as good as its predecessor. hopefully. there was also a preview of avp. alien vs predator. i still think it's a pointless movie with no good storyline. what's the point of engaging the monsters from two successful movies into a fight with one another? why not make spiderman vs batman, hulk vs the thing, x-men vs power rangers, and other pointless fights as well? the only thing i would value from those movies is the visual effects. and the action too, probably, if it's actually good.

oh, the preview for polar express was out. my english teacher in high-school said it was a really good children book and people who haven't read it are basically missing out half of their childhood; so that kinda provokes me into wanting to see this movie. the preview was disappointing though. i was hoping to see some good visual effects since everyone basically knows the story or have heard of it, but the animation was quite disappointing. textures and movements were smooth, but what annoys me the most is the mouth movement; seriously, even fishies in finding nemo have better mouth movement.

i, robot seems like it's gonna be one hell of a thriller. will smith is going to be a solid character in this movie. it's basically like the terminator, only in the future, with more elegant looking robots. now that, is one good counterattack to bill gates' idea of artificial intelligence. i would love to have a robot here in the house to take care of everything, but that will end up leaving me as this one big fat lazy bum who has a robot to do all my work. also think about unemployment. it's gonna be hell to find a job. i think i'll just go with having a computer at home. computer is sophisticated enough for me. sorry robots. or droids.

wait, i just thought about it. if in the future we will have robots living with us, then we should also have the jedi order. then i can join the jedi and have my own lightsaber. that way those bastards who keep cutting me off on freeway can learn some lesson they'll never forget. or some decapitation. 5w337.

that's probably all of the worthy previews i can remember.

dodgeball was good. better than i had expected. whoever wrote the script was hella smart. some cheesy parts were made really obvious and overexaggerated so that people don't go "meh, that's hella cheesy" and will laugh instead. like lance armstrong suddenly showing up in las vegas right at the moment peter gave up and saying to him: "yeah, you're right. if you don't quit, you've got nothing to regret for the rest of your life. take it easy, pal. i'm sure this won't haunt you for the rest of your life." genius. pure genius. and the name of the gym: average joe. haha, i love the attack to the reality tv show. there are some other indirect jokes that i didn't get because i'm just not witty enough, but i like ben stiller's white goodman. WHITE GOODMAN, get it? haha. implicit racist joke, great. it was also funny when white met kate and said a bunch of stupid stuff and then tried to cover it up with "yeah, that's because i'm white. dubya aech i tee ee. white." don't be so critical people, he was referring to his name. the movie was intelligently funny and they did really good to cover up all the cheesy parts. props.

watched harry potter because irene has been saying about how good the visual effects were. they were good, but i don't really see much difference between this one and previous harry potter movies. i guess i'm just illiterate in art. but one thing i do notice though, was emma watson. or hermione granger. she's grown a lot since the second movie, but in this one you can really see how pretty she is. i bet she'll be the hottest british actress when she turns eighteen. and maybe eventually some naked pictures of her. haha. i love her face when she was hella pissed at malfoy; it reflects her character perfectly. oh, and i love it when she smiles too. either way, she still looks hella pretty. other than that, i can't say anything about the storyline because i'm going to have to compare it to the book and i have not read any the book. but if i have to comment without comparing to the book, i say it's the typical harry potter storyline; pretty much the same with the previous two. harry goes to hogwarts, harry learns new magic, harry gets hunted by some sort of evil, harry discovers that the person he thought as the enemy turns out to be his ally, harry discovers that the person who is always nice to him turns out to be not so nice, harry fights, harry wins. i sorta like the idea of time traveling that was brought up in the movie. it's like what harry says "i know what to do because i've done it." going back to the past won't change anything in the future. your actions once you arrive in the past are basically what your predecessors have done. there's another you, somewhere in the future, who has already done what you did. you're just simply reliving the facts that you don't know. until hermione and harry goes back to the past, we were not told about the fate of budwig, who threw the stones into hagrid's house, who hermione saw in the forest, who casted the something-petrolum spell to get rid of the dementor, what happened to the werewolf who ran away to the forest, who howled from the forest, whose popcorns were flying across the screen. well, the last question was never quite answered, but the way the movie director directs the movie was great. i was not questioning any of those until i actually saw the truth. the director seems to be able to make those unclear events to just blend in and lost in the movie. those who have yet to read the book like me, would not know that the turning back the time would be done. i'm a critical person when watching a movie, but the director is able to hide these crucial events that would leave anyone who has not read the book questioning. i actually believed that budwig was dead, and i thought it was budwig who threw the stones. i also thought hermione saw the black leopard that harry saw in the beginning of the movie. and i was just lost when there's a howl from the forest and the werewolf ran away. i had no thought about what happened to it. so props to harry potter as well.

these two movies made around the world in 80 days seem like crap, and it was, at first. the only thing i enjoy was brittany murphy's pretty face and jackie chan's funny fighting style. the storyline is also the same as jackie chan's other movies; jackie is a chinaman, jackie goes to retrieve something stolen from the village, jackie fights some chinamen who after the same thing, jackie goes back to village with the stolen item. and the theme, well, it IS disney, so there has to be some friendship and love involved. and a greedy bad guy. it's funny how they made fun of england this time, with its royal academy of science and lord kelvin. i hope they don't mean the actual lord kelvin who was a thermodynamics physicist or he'll definitely be cursing from hell. however, i was wrong. there are some surprises in form of guest stars. arnold schwarznegger shows up as a sheik from turkey who plays guitar and has a statue of himself and six wives. way to make fun of the turks. haha. then rob schneider shows up as a beggar in san fransisco who is afraid of the birdman and thinks being stinky is a powerful, powerful feat to have in begging. other stars showed up as well, but the one that got me all excited was when luke and owen wilson showed up as the wright brothers. luke wilson looks as clueless as ever, and owen wilson pulled the usual roy-o'bannon when he talks shit about his brother in low voice and yells out praises but then completely changes his opinions, takes all the credit for it, and blames the quiet guy. it's like what homer said: "if anything goes wrong, blame it on the guy who can't speak english." luke and owen then left with owen still pulling the usual roy-o'bannon when he goes flat out saying "i? i? what do you mean i? it's we. we have to say WE did it" to luke, only to then telling him to whip the lash and get the horses moving while he's just sitting there doing nothing. owen wilson was brilliant even though he only had less than five minutes worth of appearance. his character does not change in any of his movies that i've seen. not even starsky and hutch. i'm beginning to think that the actual person has the same character. haha. so props to around the world in 80 days as well. but especially owen wilson.

i just had two tamales for dinner. everytime i open a tamales, i think to myself, mmm, this looks exotic. but after i take a bite or two, i think to myself, mmm, mexican pizookie.

enough post for tonight. my entries are getting boring. i need to write something controversial again so that random people would bash me. like that one feminist. haha.
