The fact that the new Transformers has made such a disgustingly huge amount of money is making me nervous.
What I'm worried about is this effortless kind of film, that's making all this money (and by effortless I mean no effort was put in to make this a solid film, i.e a film that makes it's own rules and follows them) will only open the door to MORE of this kind of stuff. More explosions and characters who lack substance, more films with incoherent plots that are overshadowed by "hot" lead actresses and an epic movie score.
Americans, or maybe just people in general, are essentially lemmings...we don't want to fall behind the pack, but we don't want to be told we want to be part of the pack. That's what we struggle with. We BEG and love and long to be told what to do, buut don't tell us that's what we want.
All I want is for some Hollywood producers to try a little harder. I really don't think it's asking for too much. Bad movies might make a lot of money, but so do great ones.
And I hate the argument, "oh, well it's a movie about robots fighting, based on toys why does it need a plot? it's just mindless entertainment.."
WELL,
If I can have a movie about a guy who puts on a bat suit to fight crime make sense, then Transformers should too. (tdk) If I can have a movie about a billionaire weapons industrialist who flies around in metal armor and shoots laser beams from his palms make sense, then Transformers should too. (iron man) And if I can have a movie about the last robot on earth falling in love with a different robot and getting hurled along through space make sense, then Transformers should too. (walle)
HELL, ALL OF THESE MOVIES MADE MONEY and did NOT compromise the integrity of the film, unlike michael bay's movie.
and what really saddens me is that so many people loved this movie. honestly, it's really fucking sad.
/rant over..

I wonder why some girls refuse to grow up. I'm really just curious.
In other news, I still am Star Trek obsessed, I love Phil, and slurpees, and being drunk. I also love driving in my car, and I'm really stoked to see Terminator today because I have so much love for Senor Bale.

Things I want:
-new gladiator sandals
-that job at the airport in Farmingdale, even if they do have drug tests, because recently I've discovered I'm addicted to celebrities. Not so much the people, but just celebrity news. I don't know what to say about it or how to defend myself. I just don't.
-to see the new Terminator. STAT.
-this headache to go away.
-to get drunk on cheap wine. I hate being home and having to drive everywhere. I love driving in the summer, but it's getting annoying, yanno?
-to see Phil.
-to be less lazy and finish unpacking my shit from school! God.
-people to stop bashing Obama/liberals via facebook statuses, because normally they sound really stupid and I don't think ANY of them know what they are even talking about. In fact, my generation's use of the internet and word of mouth in regards to politics is really dissillusioning me with the whole thing. I don't even want to talk about politics anymore, with barely anyone. God dammit.
-to sleep all day, but I know this won't happen.
-A Digital SLR camera, but I don't have the moniez. So I'm looking to get one that's a step down or very similar, or like an alternative to an SLR.
-a puppy, and a kitty.
-to have like, eight hundred thousand neopoints. Please.
-Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine. ZING!
Star Trek hotties taking over my life as of lately.

yeah, cool, i love my bed and everything, it's nice and big. but i feel so idle at home, i don't know what the hell to do with myself. i didn't finish unpacking yet, but it's because i have NO ROOM IN MY ROOM FOR ANYTHING. i have to go to the laundrymat to wash my clothes because theres so many of them. i have TOO MANY CLOTHES. anyway, i guess i'll go jobhunting. if tonight ends up like last night i guess i'll get drunk by myself. no i won't, that's stupid. i just feel weird being home.
p.s, star trek ruled. there are so many good movies coming out this summer i'm stoked!

i'm sitting here with a towel on my head making up a mock interview about modernization of islam but the truth is i don't want to go back to reality!
Culture Shock was so much better than I expected. A two day music festival with drinking and carnival rides and sunshine was absolutely perfect.
I'm finding that I really appreciate things when an event like this takes place- the hot sun on my back, the music even if it's only mediocre, the blankets and girls in nice dresses. Surrounded by my friends all day-when someone would stop at our blanket it was just an accumulation of more and more people, coming and going all day. The grass under my feet, the dirt, just being barefoot in general is a beautiful thing. Climbing trees and being tipsy while eating a snocone , waiting for dusk (two beautiful sunsets, friday and saturday) so that the night can begin- and with it comes more drinking, a new outfit, dancing, lights, loud music, hot messes, roaming, sweating, every little thing I just..drank it all in. It's like it was a totally different world.
Back to reality.
I can still enjoy being barefoot though. I mean, I have so many bruises and my body aches all over but I'm lovin' it.

and to think, i was seriously excited about coming back here??????
i fucking hate my stepdad. i had to come home early last night because i was dreading his wrath. wana know why? because he doesn't like my pet mice.
fuck him. i can't stand him. he keeps giving me reasons to dislike him. i'm really upset. and my mom is really sick this week, she has to give herself these infusions for the MS, so that means I get to hangout with my brother all the time. awesome . not.
and i fucking forgot my ipod converter thing at school. so i cant listen to music in my car without out. pissed.
my curfew is 1 am here. pissed.
i just love being at school SO SO SO much more. i fucking hate this shit.

bored, waiting to go out..kind of sort of stole this from jen...
What celebrity do you think looks like you? What celebrity do other people say you look like?
I know I don't really look like my all time favorite lady in the world but i have this warped way of thinking that I do. The only celebrity people told me I look like is Jessica Biel. and that lady from the Wedding Singer. Her name is Angela Featherstone..although I don't really think so..
( HMMMMMM...what do you think? )

I don't really want to go home. I love it here. Bad food and all.
I really, really enjoyed Watchmen. The book and the film.
I dropped my computer and had to get my hard drive replaced. All my movie soundtracks are gone! I'm very upset .
Also, someone had sent me Microsoft Word through a file transfer, since macbooks don't come with them and they're quite expensive..and I don't remember who had sent me it, but it would be absolutely phenomenal if I could get that again somehow.
I'm glad the weather is getting better. I'm still mad at myself for smoking cigarettes, but I've cut down a bit. I really hope to have my car when I come back from spring break. I think too much. Pirates of the Carribean is on, the first one. I love it. It never really gets old. I have to do so much work this week, and laundry too, and I'm really procrastinating. One of my suitemates, who I probably get along with the best here, has a dickhead boyfriend who called me a cunt because he's jealous of our friendship. I hate knowing my friends don't have the backbone to defend themselves or to be walked all over. I love my mice, I need more bedding and food for them.
I am conflicted about telling my boyfriend if I love him or not, partly because I don't know if I do, but I always feel compelled to tell him I do. It's strange. I'm afraid the summer won't be kind to us, since he lives in the city and I feel like we would never have any alone time. I am so insecure it's pathetic and unsettling.
Lee, Melanie, Molly and I applied for on campus apartments next year and got them. I'm beyond happy at the prospect of having my own kitchen and apartment. La la la. I got an A on my first story for my Creative Writing class, and my teacher sent me an email saying he thought I was an extraordinary writer, and that I was so talented, and all this gushy stuff that made me feel great. I really needed that, because at this point in my life I'm terrified that I'm not good at anything. I'm really really scared. I mean, really.
