Can't Think Of A Title For This Post

It's getting harder and harder to find the time to watch movies these days, so you'd think my criteria for the films I DO get to watch would improve, right? Like, I should probably make the decision to ONLY watch movies that have a chance of being actually good, and to stay away from films I've heard are terrible. Right? Right.

But where's the fun in that?

Besides, adopting such a sensible attitude to movie-watching would have robbed me of the delight of realising that two films I expected to be absolute rubbish turned out to be surprisingly good fun. Let's take the first one— a sequel to one of the worst films I've seen in the last few years.

GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra was an awful film. I mean, it was just dreadful. It was so bad that I felt compelled to talk about it on this very Blog, way back in 2009. Here is what I said about it:

"I now hate this movie, for it is awful. It is worse than X-Men 3. It is even worse than Transformers 2. I have not hated a film so much since I saw Van Helsing. Van Helsing was directed by the same man. There are lessons in life I should learn, and yet learn them I do not."

Ah, good times. This was back when I was writing Dark Days. What a fantastic book that was.

Sorry, where was I? Oh yes.

The first GI Joe was horrible. It had a stupid story and stupid action and stupid characters and everything was stupid. It had the worst CGI I'd seen in a long time and they'd taken a monumentally dumb approach to the whole thing. They gave the Joes super robot suits, for god's sake.

So naturally, knowing how much I hated the first one, I went ahead and watched the sequel. And maybe it's because I expected it to be every bit as bad— but it was actually pretty cool.

The story was still dumb. COBRA'S ultimate plan was just daft. But there were so many cool bits in it. The ninjas on the mountain. Adrianne Palicki jogging. Cobra Commander's AWESOME outfit. Adrianne Palicki in the red dress. Bruce Willis and his house of guns. Adrianne Palicki doing stuff.

And the two best scenes were between the Rock and Channing Tatum. The video game and the sharpshooting. Funny writing, funny performances- if every scene was as good as these two, it would have been an amazing movie. As it was, it was fun, action-packed, quite stupid, but there is NOTHING about it you'd hate after watching it.

Oh, but there is ONE moment I should mention. To show how high tech the Joes are, they're given all these cool gadgets at the start. One of these gadgets is a pair of gloves that MELTS THROUGH a chainlink fence. Melts THROUGH it! How awesome is that?? No more waiting around for the extra few seconds while they cut through the fence with stupid, old-fashioned fence cutters! No way! Now they save VITAL SECONDS by using these gloves! And the best thing? THEY GLOW BRIGHT ORANGE! So instead of dumb soldiers cutting through a fence with stupid fence cutters in the dark, being all sneaky and stuff, now the Joes can cut through the fence and alert any enemy within a five mile radius to their presence at the same time! Yippee!

(But apart from this moment of dumbness, it's not a bad movie. I swear.)

And the other film I thought would be awful was Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.

I heard this was diabolical. It's not. There are parts of this that are SO COOL. The witches are the best witches ever in the world EVER. They're evil and hideous but no two are alike. The make-up is brilliant. Famke Janssen is the head witch, and it takes guts to turn one of the most beautiful women in the world into a hideous monster, but they do it, and she's utterly brilliant.

It's a lovely idea at its core— what would Hansel and Gretel be like when they grew up?— and while it's set in a vague time, hundreds of years ago, the language and the music are modern day, which adds to the anarchic quality of it all.  That said, the American accents sported by Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton are a tad distracting, especially seeing as how everyone else has a thick European accent. But come on... Renner's cool and Gemma Arterton is Gemma Arterton. Mmmm Gemma Arterton...

Word of warning, though. This looks like a family film, like a slightly dark fairytale, but it's not. It revels in bad language and gore. There are exploding heads a-plenty. So naturally I loved it.


I don't know if I'd ever watch either of these movies for a second time, but they were pretty damn good the first time out. Which was a really nice surprise.

Nice to meet you as well, Hunter. Though how you managed to meet me when I wasn't here is a mystery, [Shrugs]

Dynasty Maguire/Rathrockt Maguire (Brad Wood) said...

Ummm...

Its called the plot for all stories.
I need about 5-7 members.
I give a plot story and you've got one week to write it.
It will all fit into one big story. More will be explained when I do the first post.

Noelle said...

Um... Add me, I guess? adrasdosdark477@gmail.com

Dynasty Maguire/Rathrockt Maguire (Brad Wood) said...

Ok. I will write your emails down. I will make the first post 2moro and I will advertise it all over blogland OK...

Dynasty Maguire/Rathrockt Maguire (Brad Wood) said...

More are welcome than seven. :)

We're being our characters and Hunter for some reason wants to kill me.

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

Oh, and we're all in Hogwarts still, I think, and there are dragons and Hunter and Ez are Star's characters.

What? No, she's just a very motherly dragon. *gestures to the two other baby dragons, nestled next to her* the're right there

Noelle said...

Dragons are omnivores, and

Any you can give me. Just generally. And I'm going to need some time to think about it.

#ChaseForBook9

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

They're just marshmallows. And chill, I didn't order them from MageBay or anything! [Eats one]

[Does not explode or die or anything]

Unless dragons are allergic to marshmallows...?

*shrugs her shoulders* Like I know!

Dynasty Maguire/Rathrockt Maguire (Brad Wood) said...

Baisacly I will give the first post, explaining everything, and asking people to join. Once I have got 5-8 members I will give a plot and each memeber has to right it on their perspective. You have one week to right it and then the next plot will be posted. Do you need anything else explained?

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

[Hmm. But Hunter's helmet is, like, HUNTER'S helmet. So it's stronger than average when he wants it to be, and he wanted it to be, but anyway, let's say it still sliced into his face and he's bleeding and his nose is like all wrecked. But he won't react to that, any more than he's reacting to the fact that his hand's all mashed from grabbing your sword, but his hand isn't sliced in halve beacuse gloves.
He doesn't just wear them to hide his scars.
Any objections?]

*shouts* ARE YOU KIDDING ME, FABI.

*jerks ahand away and swings lightsabre at Hunter*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*Tilli runs off, brings sword to side* All right Hunter, come and get me.

Noelle said...

*the golden dragon begins to dip, the descend, a bleeding wound from where Hunter stabbed it*

Dammit...

Star Inkbright said...

OH, MY GOSH, I'M SO SORRY!

*hugs Mara*

Sorry. Three billion and one things to reply to.

*stays away from Till warily*

I dislike dogs.

Sorry.

Nicename, though. :)

At 8:33pm today, my boys turned 3.
I love you, One Direction. With all my heart and soul.
Three years already, huh...
You've all grown up so fast...
I still remember Torn. I still cry over it.
I love you all, very much.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Adra, I think they're about to fight, I say we flee. Agree?

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Hey that rhymes! *does a jig. Foot hurts, stops*

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Dragons are awesome, but it was a necessary sacrafice.

*ducks ligthsabre and runs over to Trip, feeling self bleeding, not fully healed*

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Sorry about forgetting to say hi Mara. *hugs*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*the dragon lands and she's thrown off, hitting the ground, the air wooshing from her lungs*
*gets on one arm, coughing up more blood- more than before*

*groans* Fuck it all

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

[hugs Mara]

Happy birthday 1D, then?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*nods* Happy birthday 1D!

Maralie Lily Charm said...

It's okay. *smiles*

I was emailing Kessie anyway.

#ChaseForBook9

She's so perfect.

Star Inkbright said...

*teleports over to dragon and mostly heals it*

*black spots float in front of eyes* Fuck you, Hunter, I'm all tired now and I'm done barely anything.

#ChaseForBookNine

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

DON'T HURT THE DRAGON. D:

DON'T HURT ADRA EITHER.

#ChaseForBook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

All right then Hunter Let's end this. *splays hand. A small piece of energy appears inside Hunter. It expands at half the speed of sound, turning him into a load of pieces of flesh, blood, bones, clothes and hair.*

Ha.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

We really need.. *coughs* We need Ari and... And Nic...

*spits out more blood, as her lungs feel like they're on fire*

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

What we need, is a hospital. Or a hobbit Doctor. Both are good.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Want me to try and heal you, Adra? *frowns worriedly*

See, guys, I can never seriously fight Hunter, because we know we'll never ever kill each other.

Bear that in mind.

[Five seconds, Mara]

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

I don't think what I just did was wise.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*grits her teeth, shaking her head* You can't. Neither can Niccolo, so...
*nods to Trip* Get him out of here before... He kills himself. *waves her hand* I'm just a bit... Winded..

Star Inkbright said...

OH MY GOSH REALLY??????????????????????????????????????????? :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ONE DIRECTION!!!!!!!!!!! *somehow hugs them*

Three is a better number than two, and a better number than one. *smiles*

Disturbed is my third playlist (although the first I made, long story.)

Therefore, the number three is AWESOME. :)

Kes is amaziggleness, yes. :)

[Five seconds, Trip.]

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

No, you aren't winded. Something's wrong, and we're finding out what it is.

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

*converts energy as it expands* *rebuilds self before my soul floats away*

This energy convertion isn't just a bodily thing.

But I can call a truce for the moment if you want.

[Five seconds, Adra/]

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*gets her knees under her, and stands up, spinning in a circle* I'm fine. Let's just get out of here

Noelle said...

*stumbles backwards, reaching for Trip's hand, then Ez's*

We need to go!

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: I might be able to help. *sis up* *world spins*

*shouts* HUNTER, SHARE SOME OF THAT ENERGY WITH ME!

Tell me.

Becuase although we can heal normally . . . we can also alter things abonormally.

#ChaseForBookNine

Alastair Cruciatus said...

*teleports in with Niccolo* We're here! Nobody die!

#ChaseForbook9

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

No you're /not/. A truce would be much appreciated Hunter. And if I have to force you to a hospital I /will/. You are not okay, and I /will/ take you to a hospital, one way or another.

*growls at Ez* Don't even try. There's nothing that can be done, and this fighting isn't helping me at all

Star Inkbright said...

*teleports over to Ez and recharges her* Sorry.

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

*grabs Adra's hand, energy coats them both* Now, I can take you to a hospital, or I can carry you to one. Your decision.

Hey Ari!

#ChaseForBook9

Alastair Cruciatus said...

Oh, Trip, you've missed a lot, haven't you? *laughs weakly* Oh dear...

#ChaseForbook9

Noelle said...

*let's go of him* Trip, it's been nearly a century of dealing with this, but if I sit down, I'll be fine.

Star Inkbright said...

*hands Mara massive cake with 1D iced on it, if she's still here*

See, look! *points*

I iced on our humans and one cupcake. C:

Damn, this talking as three people with the people I'm talking to not being idstant is HARD. XD

HEY ARI! :)

#ChaseForBookNine

Fabi S. - Fashion-Conscious Fire Wraith said...

J.A. is arguing with me again...
Lunch, bye. Not that I was here, but y'know...

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Did something happen at Hogwarts aside from the dragon? (I know! I rad back. You aren't allowed to tell me!)

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*waves at Fabi*

And you can say that, Aretha...

Star Inkbright said...

:( FOURS FABI!

The funny thing is, Adra, I've been coughing my head off irl ever since and before you started being ill. XD

#ChaseForBookNine

Trip Castalan, Lord of The Hobbits, The Fourth Most Popular Folk/Parody Banana Thief In The Land said...

Well, you clearly know what's wrong. Do me the favour of telling me what it is?

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

If you start killing anyone, Hunter, I'm attacking you with yellow shower curtains. *meaningful look*
