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.

[Sighs and falls asleep again]
#ChaseForBook9
*shadow walks to Alexis* ALEXIS WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU- *sees some underworld monster go for Alexis* ill deal with you later *takes out knife and attacks said monster*
*picks up Sherlock*
#ChaseForBook9
If that is channeling, he really shouldn't use so much of it at such an untrained level, he could destroy himself.
#ChaseForBook9
Hm... Well, if there are others in Blogland, I think I shall return there, if that is alright with the rest of you. *teleports away*
#ChaseForBook9
He could literally explode from the sheer power. Or melt.
#ChaseForBook9
*stays realitively quiet and sets the monster on fire* HAHAH
*mumbles* ow
So, what's at the end of these six trials?
#ChaseForBook9

*puts Sherlock down* Come on, next trial!
#ChaseForBook9

[Thrashes in sleep]
(( [Kills movie maker] ))
#ChaseForBook9
in the room is a pool filled with pirahnas. the door is at the bottom. the key is surrounded by the piranas.
*clicks fingers, electricity energy runs through water, killing the pirahnas* Bo-ring.
#ChaseForBook9
*eventually kills monster and sees Alexis grab Coco* if he hurts her it is entirely her fault *shadow walks to Alexis but stays hidden hoping Coco doesnt notice*
Friendship's important!

#ChaseForBook9
Nope! *withdraws energy* No more electrity!
#ChaseForBook9

#ChaseForBook9
*dives in*
#ChaseForBook9
the door opens into nothing but a stone arch hundreds of meters down
*follows*
* falling * head for the arch. adra, you coming?
*uses energy to fly down*
#ChaseForBook9
*walks over to Fabienne* *wonders whether or not to wake her up* *decides only to do so if the nightmares appear to get worse*
*says without turning around* Zafira, I know you're there.
#ChaseForBook9
This is actually entertaining to watch xD
if you miss the arch then, the ground is solid.
*jumps out of tree* How did you realize I was there?! *shakes head* mind reader
* a horde of bats fly down to attack*
I guess I'm lucky I can fly then.
#ChaseForBook9
*dives in as well*
*fires lasers at bat, suspended in the air*
#ChaseForBook9

I'm just Metaing through all of these. XD
#ChaseForBook9
JUST NAVIGATE TO THE PORTA-
*disappears into arch*
#ChaseForBook9
*takes another sip of her vodka, hoping to get rid of the soreness*
*facepalms*
*shrugs* It is actually quite easy for me to tell in several different ways. I will know when others are near me even if I do not attempt to locate them. I can feel your consciousness, your magic, the warmth of your body. I can hear your breath. *laughs* There are other things, too, but I shall spare you the details for fear of frightening you.
#ChaseForBook9
* looks grim * everyone here, its the last room
Adra, if this were a film, that would become such a meme.
#ChaseForBook9
Boss battle! Boss battle! Boss battle!
#ChaseForBook9
Right. Heights. I like heights. *takes another big gulp*
GERONIMOOOOOOOOO *dives for the arch*
* in the centre of the room a large coffin stands upright* trip come here, i need help with the lid *pushes lid*
adra hurry
*lifts lid with energy*
#ChaseForBook9
NiccolĂł you know what I would give to see 5 minutes inside your head with all those names? Dont say I have because I was trapped in my nightmares last time I was there and I dont consider it your head as that creature was out
(( [Contemplates whether to wake Fabi up] ))
#ChaseForBook9
*flies through the arch* aaaaaaaAAAAAHHHHH
* in the coffin stands a figure whose hands clutch a sword of gold * no, NO it cant be you * sherlock turns and begins to run before tripping over*
*hits the floor*
Ow.

*draws sword* Who is it Sherlock?
#ChaseForBook9

Hey Adra. Feeling a litte flat?
Eh? Eh?
#ChaseForBook9
Oh good. I've been meaning to have a word with him. *stays perfectly calm*

#ChaseForBook9
*glares at Trip* if only you knew the day I've had
* the warriors eyes open and blue lightning centres in them *
warrior: dalek
* sends a wave that knocks trip off his feet and into the wall*
Oh no, I would not say you have. And I am certain if you knew... *shudders lightly* I promise you would not enjoy it.
#ChaseForBook9
Ouch. That kind of hurt. *growls, sending a pulse of energy back*
#ChaseForBook9
I have always been curious but if you rather me not iunderstand

[Quietly wakes up and sits there, thinking.]
#ChaseForBook9
Very clever. *absorbs energy rock back into self* But it's still my energy.
#ChaseForBook9
warrior: now dalek, you can die * lifts sword as energy fires out into sherlocks chest*
sherlock: my name isnt dalek anymore * flies back and stands up*
*stands there, and calmly takes a step forward*
Warrior
trip attack from behind with energy, adra attack from above and ill attack him straight on * lifts sword and launches at warrior slicing across chest which heals instantly*
"You don't deserve death, Niccolò, and never will. You are a person as are the rest of us. Just because you were sadatic for 500yrs doesn't make it right to just kill you."
. . . So if he was stil sadistic NOW, he WOULDN'T still be a person like the rest of us?
You're implying, Zaf, that's he's a person now he isn''t sadistic anymore.
SADISTIC PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE TOO.
Hunter suffers from a lot of mental issues, but he's not really more sadistic than the average person (however, like Alastair says, we all have desires to cause pain in us).
However, he has killed a lot of people and still does.
Does that make him not a person?
Look, I have this storyline I think out sometimes, and these people came back to life. Hunter didn't know why, and /I/ still don't know why (I never got very far with it). Anyway, this one time, Hunter and Ez were going through this battleground with these people. And they knew they might not make it out alive without back-up. So Hunter phoned these people who he'd count as almost friends. They were trustworthy and reliable, which was needed, because they HAD to keep the people coming back to life a secret. So Hunter told them that he'd picked them especially, and said tha if they did well today they'd get promoted.
So they came along, and they were all like hey and hi-fiving Hunter and that.
And then they got through the battleground place, and all three of the bakc-up did really well and were risking their lives to help Hunter out and that.
And then Hunter shot them all, one by one, because the people coming back to life had to remain a secret.
And he was sad, because they had been really good, and they'd been his friends. But he'd only trusted them enough not to text people during the operation.
And one of the people he shot had kids.
They'd done nothing wrong. They'd been brilliant. And now they were dead.
And at this point, I was just like noooooooooo he can't do that those poor people, because I didn't want them to die.
But then I thought, well, that's Hunter. He would just think, tough. And I have to make them dead, because I have to make Hunter like Hunter. I can't just adapt things beacuse I don't like them.
. . . So does Hunter deserve to die? Is Hunter not a person?
Look, okay, you lot all need to go read The Morganville Vampires. The covers and the fact they're about vampires make you think they're going to be vampire romance books. They're not. There is romance, and there is vampires, and admittedly there is some romance between humans and vampires, but nearly all the vampires are the evil bad guys, the horrible monsters that the good guys hate. And the only properly good vampire is one who's just been turned and so hasn't lost his human feelings yet. And the only other vapire who's kind of okay is the second-youngest.
So it's all good.
But anyway. If Myrnin wasn't in The Morganville Vampires, I would kind of like The Morganville Vampires.
As he is in them, I read them mostly because of him. Although I've only read up to book four, because they're not in the library so I have to apinstakingly buy them one by one.
Myrnin is, like, the best character ever. <3
He's amazing.
And anyway, Myrnin and Claire remind me of Hunter and Ez. Even though Claire and Ez are like polar opposites. The only way in which they are similar is the way they think about Hunter/Myrnin, really.
And Myrnin is actually 5000 times better a character than Hunter could ever be, which makes me kind of sad, but y'know.
TBC.
*starts looking for quotes* OHMYGOSH. I'm serious. READ THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES, BECAUSE MYRNIN IS AMAZING.
(Although he doesn't appear till book three . . . )
*goes back to searching* *pauses again* Oh, and it does have other good non-Myrnin-related stuff in it. :)
Okay, this scene is a good thing to open with:
"He's supposed to be -"
"Locked up in a cage? Yeah, I know," Claire knew she sounded bitter. She didn't care. "He's sick, Michael. He's not an animal. And anyway, even if you lock him up, he'll get out."
Michael looked young to her, all of a sudden, although he was older than she was. And a vampire, on top of that. "Claire, get up and come to me. Please."
"Why? He's not going to hurt me."
"He can't help what he does. Look, Sam told me how many people he's killed -"
He's a vamp, Michael. Of course he's-"
"How many he's killed in the last two years. It's more than all the other vampires in Morganville combined. You're not safe. Now, get up and walk over here."
And now random quotes:
"He was losing it, Claire could see that, but he was desperately hanging on to being the man who'd been with her for the last hour.
The gentle, funny, sweet one, ablaze with excitment and passion for showing her his world."
"She hated that Myrnin could change like this, go from friend to enemy in the space of a minute. Which one was real? Or was any of it?"
"She hated it when he got this way - cruel and lazy, willing to say or do anything. It was as if the Myrnin she liked had just . . . disappeared, leaving behind nothing but the dark shell."
"He smiled at her, and it was the smile that had won her over in the first place - sweet, gentle, inviting her to share in some delightful secret."
What I'm trying to show you with the quoting is . . . The worst people, the most monstrous, who kill tons of innocents . . . they all have a good side. And people can appreciate them for that. For the sun that occasionally pops out from the clouds.
Despite the murdering thing . . . everyone has a good side.
And I love people like Ez and Claire who bother to notice it.
Niccolo . . . before he became good, we still liked him as a person in ways. Why? We loved the little things about him, the ones who made him who he was.
Heck, we can even like things about Alastair.
#ChaseForBookNine
*frowns* I think this will be tough... Do we aim to kill him?
*jumps above the warrior, swinging her sword down*
YES kill
Zafira... (I understand I am, in a way, breaking the fourth wall with this) You can read this, if you like. It was written while I was still stuck in time, and it doesn't actually come close to reality, but it is the closest I can get.
#ChaseForBook9
Whoa. Star.
Was it by Alastair? I read it today the one called Names *smirks* It's fine i just wonder about you
*tears up a little* Star...
warrior: hahaha you will never win
sherlock: dont be so sure, trip full force now
*appears from the shadows behind the warrior. stabs sword filled with soul energy through his heart*
#ChaseForBook9
*clicks fingers, Warrior's head explodes*
Fool.
#ChaseForBook9
*sits down* Right. I'll just watch this then
sherlock: *puts dynamite in wound* pull the sword out now trip
warrior:what, NOO
[Crawls slowly away from Zaf and Croatoan]
#ChaseForBook9
Hi Star [hugs]
[Thinks]
#ChaseForBook9
*zips backwards*
#ChaseForBook9
*into the earpiece* Believe me, Grand Mage. You do not want to know what is in there... *bites her lip* I don't know how he does it
*rest of the warrior explodes leaving a glowing orb of pure magic, a scource of power that is greater than a gods*
Star, you are quite the exceptional person.
#ChaseForBook9
*nods* it looks like pure energy to me. Dense, pure energy, but it all the same
*picks up orb taking a peice and placing it into body,* trip this is the treasure take a peice
and you adra
*picks it up wearily* I'm not sure...
*shakes head* Coco you dont deserve death nor will you ever i just so want to hug you
the warrior will return again, he does not know death.
I might take a few if you don't mind Sherlock, for science.
#ChaseForBook9
*places hers in her bag* I'll keep it for a later use, actually...
of course, you helped and i already sent some to the penguin lab so help yourself
. . . I have this horrible tendancy to overanalyse things. :P
Sorry, Zaf. I have a go at other people for discriminating against murderers and that too. I just hate it when people do, because like . . . Hunter's awesome, and he doesn't deserve evryone hating him.
You know, if you murdered someone, and you went to prison, and then you came out and you felt really bad about killing the person and had decided to change your life around . . . It would be so hard, because no one would want to go near you. Nobody would emply you, everyone would fear you . . . Nobody would want to be your friend.
And then people would just give up. This girl in an Enid Blyton book . . . everyone thought she was bad, so she was just like, well, if everyone things that, I might as well be bad anyway, because at least I get something out of it!
And if they'd forgiven her and been nice to her, she wouldn't have been bad.
It's just so unfair . . .
And: *hugs Adra and Niccolo* Thank you. :) :) :)
It means a lot to me that I actually have some effect somewhere. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
*takes the rest, puts it in pocket*
So, how do we get out?
#ChaseForBook9
* portal appears leading to the bar* there
Zafira, I do appreciate your perspective, though I am afraid I cannot agree.
#ChaseForBook9
I may join in this roleplay, maybe even as myself, idk.
I want to playlist, though.
It's kind of late now, however. :P
I think I spent about an hour writing my speech thing. *laughs*
#ChaseForBookNine
*steps back through portal* Just a moment. *goes upstairs*
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* hell if I know. I've got too bad of a hangover for round two... *pauses* or I'm not drunk enough. I can't tell
* walks through to the bar*
Right.
*jumps through the portal as well*
Well I'm beat. *falls into a chair*
[Backs farther into the shadows, towards the forest]
[Doesn't even know what I'm doing anymore]
(Hi Star)
#ChaseForBook9
NiccolĂł one day you may...I guess you don't but I do forgive you for killing Javier
*comes back downstairs* So, who wants a drink?
#ChaseForBook9
we all did fight a giant snake, an army of ghosts, pirahnas, bats and a great warrior
i think were entitled for a drink, one cider please trip
Hunter's sad Javier died, because he feels this comradly affinity for insane people.
#ChaseForBookNine
*stands up* I'm good. *leaves the half- empty bottle and a check for a kilo under it on the bar*
*goes into a bathroom and examines the bandages, which are filthy before beginning to change them out*
trip, where exactly is this bar?
*notices Fabienne* Fabienne, where are you going?
#ChaseForBook9
Fabi get back here!
[Doesn't acknowledge the question]
[Continues to scoot backwards, not standing up]
#ChaseForBook9
Blogland. Near the lake, next to the 1D house. *hands him a cider*
#ChaseForBook9
[Doesn't acknowledge Zaf, either.]
[On the ground where she was sitting, a small electronic device]
#ChaseForBook9
(But of cours, whenever I think of comradeness, I hear A7X in Burn It Down. "Don't need you, fuck camaraderie". XD)
#ChaseForBookNine
*picks it up* uhm...what is it?
*finishes re-bandaging her torso* this feels like a bloody corset. It's the 1800s all over again. *rolls her eyes, examining the little cut where the needle went in* well okay then...
thanks. * watch lights up* *drinks cider* what, oh * penguin appears and speaks in a strange language* ok right then, done.
[Device is unusually cold to the touch and pulses slightly]
[It doesn't appear to do much else]
#ChaseForBook9
Is this like Scarab's spider? *examines it*
*fixes her dress and steps from the bathroom, hearing the commotion in her ear* well then...
trip, i just heard two things one is that the penguin war is not happening as i cant be bothered to fight
Argh.
#ChaseForBook9
OH MY GOSH.
ZoliV70Music has videos for like every song ever.
Just the music, no lyrics, but WHAT THE HELL.
I saw a ZoliV70Music video for practically every Disturbed song. And the same for BFMV. And the same for A7X. Same for Slipknot. And now I'm looking for my first System of a Down song, and who do I see? ZoliV70Music.
I SWEAR, THAT PERSON IS EVERYWHERE. XD
#ChaseForBookNine
Problem, Trip?
Aretha likes System of a Down.
#ChaseForBook9
Hey NiccolĂł do you think I could ever be able to speak to Javier? I think if Alexis can have some closure it'll help her
The penguin civil war isn't going to happen.
#ChaseForBook9
[Fabi continues to back away, ignoring everyone]
[The device, as far as anyone is concerned, does nothing but pulse and buzz slightly if anyone touches it]
#ChaseForBook9
Oh no...
*sits down* so I think I owe you an explanation...
Oh, okay. *sits down*
#ChaseForBook9
I gtg
bye zaf
@Niccolo: Yay. I'll tell her to check out my playlist in like half a year. XD
(Seriously. *points to BFMV playlist* It took me five months to do three albums and one EP.)
@Fabi: I KNOW A BAND CALLED DEVICE AND THEY HAVE THE SAME VOCALIST AS DISTURBED. :)
Sorry, guys, I'm not roleplaying . . . So if I look like I'm ignoring you, I'm not. I'm reading your comments and registering them and all.
#ChaseForBookNine
#ChaseForBookNine
Bye Zaf.
#ChaseForBook9
(Bye Zaf)
[Stands up and brushes self off]
[Looks around, her gaze passing through everyone as if she does not see them]
[Worried expression]
[Walks in direction of 1DHouse]
#ChaseForBook9
About yesterday- Nd today. I've been meaning to tell you what was going on but I kept getting interrupted every time. *takes a deep breath* You remember the breakout of tuberculosis back in the early 1900's, right? Well I went to visit a family and caught it. I went and saw every doctor I could of most races, and finally ended up with Nye.
Nye "tried" to fix me, but ended up doing some experiment, where the disease was bonded to my blood, my DNA, and eventually my mind. And the slightest cold could trigger the disease inside of me, and that's what happened.
As for earlier today and late last night, I went back to Hogwarts to... Well, build myself, but ended up having an asthma attack, and nothing was helping to calm me down so I asked Zaf to bring me back to Nye, who dissected me fixed me a bit, but... Not completely..
But then he almost preformed more experiments, god knows what would have happened had Nic not have gotten there..
But that's what has been happening.
@Star YEAH, YOU MENTIONED THAT. THIS IS REFERRING TO AN ELECTRONIC GADGET, THOUGH. xP
#ChaseForBook9
Adios, Grand Mage!
Goodbye, Zafira.
#ChaseForBook9
*shrugs* I thought you wanted to know
oh. Okay. It' nice that you would tell me. And, I'm sorry to hear that.
And now, I owe you an apology.
#ChaseForBook9
Adra, you give me too much credit. Zafira came just as I did- she could have handled it just as well.
#ChaseForBook9
*scowls* she only came /because/ you did.
And an apology? What for?
[Walks to 1DHouse and looks in]
[Frowns]
[Walks over to bar]
[Peeks in the door]
[Frown deepens]
[Turns and walks away again]
[No longer acting ill]
#ChaseForBook9
@Fabi: I REALISED. :)
Hey, did you know that you can separate the word 'device' into 'de vice', meaning like, 'the vice'?
And I think it's this hidden meaning in Device's name.
And I mailed Zath and he said possibly, it would be like David to do soemthing like that and then reveal it after a few years.
And in more than one Device song, David rhymes 'the vice' with 'device', and I think it would be a hint.
SO IT'S MY THEORY NOW THAT 'THE VICE' IS A HIDDEN MEANING IN THE NAME 'DEVICE'. *nods*
(Yeah, my life is sad. XD)
:( FOURS ZAF!
#ChaseForBookNine
Because I decided that I'm never telling anyone the secrets. It took me a while, but I'm staying closed. So, I'm sorry.
#ChaseForBook9
That's an interesting theory, Star. [nods]
#ChaseForBook9
[Walks towards tree and sits down again]
[Jumps up and backs away at the realization that another device is inches from where I was just sitting.]
[Steps towards it again for a closer look]
#ChaseForBook9
* yellow light flashes and four penguins appear* continue, yes just over there
*raises eyebrow at penguins*
#ChaseForBook9
*smiles from the corner of her mouth* hah. I figured. But, I will say. Minds change, and secrets always come back to bites all. I'm all ears if you need it.
By the way, whatever happened to the weird premonition of my impending death?
[Jumps and turns around suddenly]
[Disappears]
#ChaseForBook9
That's still around, although, I'm no closer to figuring out what it means.
#ChaseForBook9
*penguins return and speak in strange language* are you sure, right then off you go back to the fortress *penguins waddle away*
Coco still here?
*frowns* no deadline? No leads? No sources? Nothing?
Yes, I am still here.
#ChaseForBook9
Sorry bout that randomly dragged to store to get stuff
