Oh the papers!

I have this old copy of a school newspaper from when I was in the eighth grade at Central Middle School. I was on the Publication Staff. I think back in the day we called ourselves the PUB staff. Although ironically, PUB also means bar. I could make a joke but I'll leave it alone.

I decided to upload a few pictures from that paper to show you all something I wrote in the eighth grade. I wrote about MTV AKA Music Television. I think you can enlarge the image and see my work. I used to love The Cranberries.

Okay, so back to the movies. I have seen a few since the last time I wrote in. Oh man there are some crappy movies.

S. Darko A Donnie Darko Tale directed by Chris Fisher-

In this movie these two girls decide to go to California. They end up in this little town and it was lame. One of the girls is Donnie's little sister Samantha. She had these bitchen heart shaped sun glasses but other then that- the movie sucked. In a few parts Sam is dead or looking dead. When they did her make up, it ended up making her look like something out of Demon night or Night of the Living Dead. The only funny parts were-
At one point the guy who ran the hotel came to the room for more money and Samantha told him she would have to talk to her friend. Then she shut the door. The guy who ran the hotel started to talk at the closed door and he ask Samantha questions. He ask if she remembered that island where Jimi Hendrix and Elvis are living and still playing music now?

Then the second funny thing was when-
That chick who played Jesse on Saved by the Bell started to describe what she thought Jesus Christ looked like. She said that he was tall, built, tan and had lightening volts coming out of his eyes.

The movie S. Darko was 1 hour and 43 minutes. I would personally like to add that- that was 1 hour and 43 minutes that I will not get back out of my life.

Jim Henson's storyteller; Greek Myths

This was an HBO series from 1987. If you rent this from Net Flix, then make sure you get all of them. They have broken them up by Myth. I watched the one about Daedalus and Iscarus. It was good but I wanted to see something about Pandora.

The Dog in the movie is too cool and will remind you of something from Sesame Street, or Fraggle Rock.

Ed Gein-

This movie was a view on the man whom everyone knows as Leather Face. I have heard a lot of stuff about this guy and I still question it because unless you sit down and talk with someone then you honestly can't say that you know anything. This movie was actually spooky but it was cheesy the way the man who played Ed Gein kept looking at people. It was like he was questioning them and waiting for his Eggo Waffle. This movie showed that he wanted to wear women's skin. That is true but I have heard rumors that he was never actually found. So I'm just going to say that with all things considering, it was good.

We all scream for Ice cream-

This movie was annoying. There is a little town with an ice cream man whom is mentally retarded. The kids in the town make fun of him and then he gets old and dies. Years later one of the kids (who is now an adult) moves back to the same town with his wife and kids. All the kids who made fun of the ice cream man back in the day start to die. Then everyone finds out that the new ghostly ice cream man who is the ghost of the old ice cream man has come back for revenge. That man gives all the children ice cream to eat, when they eat the ice cream- their parents melt and die. That all sounds okay but when you watch it, its more like-

If you take a Baskin Robins Ice cream commercial and then mix it with Desperate Housewives, then make a after school special for adults with them, there you go. It is boring and pathetic.

I went to the movies and saw the new Robin Hood and the new remake of Nightmare on Elm Street.

Robin Hood was great. It was funny in a few parts but it was not silly and they showed what heart there is in that story. Russle Crow was amazing as well. I swear that guy is just too easy to look at.

Nightmare on Elm Street used the one of the hero's from The Watchmen to play Freddy. It was not the exact same as the original and they did not turn it into some sex fest. There is nothing wrong with sex, but if your movie sucks so bad that you have to make people have sex just to get ratings then there is something wrong. It was clever and actually good but it was not great. That is not just because Robert Englund was not in it. The reason I say that- is that they took on one of the biggest classic films and made it pretty much the same as before. In the end, the mom was not sucked through the door. This was cool what they did. They made Freddy stand inside the mirror and reach out to pull her through by her eye sockets. The C.G.I was amazing considering that this was not a film about aliens or creatures. I was impressed with a lot in it and the over all movie but it was not perfect. I think in the dream world things are more like a wonderland of imagination. I think the only way they could have made this movie perfect without shit slinging from everyone would be if they over did the C.G.I and a few other things. I was also pleased that New Line Cinema did not pull a Lion's Gate and make the death scenes too nasty. If you have to pull out the guts out of your actor to make people not laugh at you then- there is something to worry about.
