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.

Do you have any idea how much it hurts, this damn disease? How often I worry about dying? For nearly a century, I've worried myself sick- no pun intended. And you had to go and try to kill me.
Thanks for that.

I ded to One Direction and their fantastical 1Day :D

This is the story
All about how
Niall Horan's life turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Don't go too far
I'll tell ya
How he became the Fresh Prince of Mullingar

In Westmeath county
Born and raised
On a playground
Is where I spent most of my days
Chillin out, maxin'
Relaxin all cool and
Singing J Bieber outside of the school
When a couple of guys
They were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight
And me mam started protestin'
She said "You're moving to London and joining One Direction."

OHHHHHHHHH XD

Happy 3rd Birthday, One Direction. :)
I love you.

I also ded to the amazaynly perfect Luciana Clover Scáth. Have an amazing time in Florida. I love you more than words can say.xx

*rolls eyes* Oh how mature, starting a "I'm better than you" argument.

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

More mature. *voice becomes like steel* Mature does not even come into it. You have no idea what I know. What I've seen. You would do well to remember, both of us could destroy you with a click of our fingers.

Maturity.... You are not MATURE! YOU ARE PATHETIC!

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Harry: Who two...?

Oh, but Adra, dear, I never said I was mature all the time. *winks*

Mara: *teleports downstairs* *grabs Harry* *teleports upstairs*
WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT STARTING A FIGHT? WIL MY FRIENDS, ESPECIALLY?!

Harry: Not my fault they' re immature.

Mara: Immature?! If anything, YOU'RE immature!

Harry: You're calling me immature? *laughs bitterly*

Mara: What are you saying?

Harry: You know exactly what I'm saying.

Hi Adra and Trip! *tackleglomps* :)

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Hi Mara! *tackleglomps*
NOO! Why are my OTP arguing? :(

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

You know... It's entirely possible, the Harry we just argued with, is not the Harry we know.

Hey Saph! *hugs*


Mara: ...

Harry: Speechless? Yeah, I have that effect on people.

Mara: How dare you? *voice shaky* You... You can't think of anyone but yourself, can you?

Harry: You're calling me conceited?

Mara: I'm calling you not the Harry I fell in love with. *dully*

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

Hi Fabi! *tackleglomps* Sorry, didn't see you there.

*picks up coat* I'm going to check the 1D house, Adra, if you hear violence upstairs, sort it out. *walks out the door into the night*

Noelle said...

I-
*frowns* Well then. *glances at Marc*
Right. Any ideas?

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Harry: What do you mean? *angrily*

Mara: *whispers* You're not my Hazzabear anymore.

Harry: Mara, of course I am!

Mara: *stays quiet*

Harry: Answer me!

*the sound of a slap echos around the bar*

Noelle said...

*growls, running up the stairs, and kicking the door, and pulling Mara behind her*
Get out of here, Harry

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

Fabi stopped in a clearing in the woods and looked around. No one was in sight, and there were no suspicious traces of metal, no listening devices. Perfect.
She pulled out a pair of amulets and set one on the ground, burying it in a layer of leaves that shielded it from view. She gripped the other tightly and whispered the name of the third, the one she didn't keep with her. She closed her eyes as everything went bright, and then dimmed again. The next moment, she was gone.

*flies through the skylight* You think I didn't hear that?! Who hit who?

#ChaseForBook9

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

It's okay, Saph. I didn't see myself there either. [hugs]

Fabi stopped in a clearing in the woods and looked around.

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

You think anything can happen in my bar without me realising?

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Mara: *whispers* *holds her cheek* He... He slapped me...

Harry: *stares at his hand in horror* Oh my God, Mara, I'm so sorry -

Mara: *looks up* You slapped me.

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Looks at previous comments* Harry! How DARE you insult Adra and Trip! Not only are they my friends, but they're also my second OTP! *glares* And THEN you slap Mara! How could you?! I thought you loved her!
Nice writing Fabi

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

*turns to Harry* Remember the promise I made you? *punches Harry in the face REALLY hard, he's knocked out*

#ChaseForBook9

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Is seriously tempted to throw Harry out the window, but knows that this is something Mara has to deal with*

#ChaseForBook9

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

Saph, all I have to say to that is lol.

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Mara: *screams* Harry! Trip, no! *runs over to his unconscious form*

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*turns to Mara, lightly touching her cheek* Do you want me to get some ice for that?

Sapphire Iota (S/ Cam) said...

*Watches Trip punch Harry* I think I may have just fallen in love with you :P (Just kidding. I could never get in the way of Adrip.)

#ChaseForBook9

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

I mean the first thing.

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

(She's working on something. It's not unusual for her to do research projects by herself, I'm just writing it down this time)

#ChaseForBook9

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

And thanks Saph [hugs]

#ChaseForBook9

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

Mara. Remember what Bomb said. I always follow through on my promises. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a treehouse to investigate. *flies out the skylight*

Fabi, you just reminded me that I'm supposed to be writing a script right now :( Mbd...

#ChaseForBook9

Maralie Lily Charm said...

Mara: *turns to face Adra* *winces at the stinging* Mmhmm... Please..

*looks down at Harry* *tears brim over her eyelids*

(Oh, that makes sense :P it's awesome, btw :D)

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*helps her up, and handcuffs Harry with a bound pair, to a pipe in the wall*
Come on, Mara... *wraps her arm around her*

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

*lands in treehouse* (what does he find Mara?)
