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.

@Adra: Reincarnation. *smiles slightly*

But you'll never get exactly the same snowflake again.

And this is why we should live life whilst we have it, coz we're never having it again, and we could hit the ground (or a passing aeroplane) any day. We can't think of stuff we will do, because we might never get there. We have to do stuff today.

. . .
Radioactive milkshakes excepted.

@Adra: But to end, something must first begin.

Where there is a negative, there is a positive.

You believe in balance, correct?

Please don't say Yolo.

Noelle said...

*grins* it's much more deeper than you I ow. I've explained it in a Nameless post that I'll publish later but I am curious to hear what you think it is

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

I dedicate this page to uniqueness and being yourself.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*raises glass* I concur

Star Inkbright said...

YOLO. *grins*

You should have told me TO say it. *laughs*

Mmh. But your power-of-the-earth whatsit . . . I'm not entirely sure your earth power and my ether stuff aren't one and the same.

Except we're using it in differnet ways.

But I don't know. You could be solely relying on power from this dimension, whereas I have a theory where the ether is dimensional fabric.

. . . I don't really know, and I don't have enough time to find out.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

. . . Excelllant ded, Fabi.

An original is always worth more than a copy.

Hmm. Not quite sure how I got in this mood.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Which mood?

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

IS NOT HERE

Did ☂nyone see F☂bi's shunting blog? ☂nd F☂bi, if you're there, I put ☂ not-to-be-published post on there with ☂ question for you.

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

Thanks...

Okay, Ember, I'll look at it. Nice name. See you. [hugs]

#ChaseForBook9

Star Inkbright said...

The meaningful one.

Ones where I ponder the meaning of life and that are scary, because they're close to depression. Mad reckless moods are closer to mania, and they're better, beacuse I don't want to commit suicide when I'm manic.

Hey Ember. :)

Noelle said...

As long as you don't suddenly snap, we're cool.

Think these:
How long does the universe go on for?
How long is forever?
Where do black holes go to

Noelle said...

*waves* hey. *takes another sip* I learned those from Hawking, Hunter.

Time is pear shaped. Universe in a nutshell

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

Reied ☂g☂in. Still not here.

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

Hello Trip

Wbd, being important.

Actually not, but it sounds cooler than what I'm actually doing.

#ChaseForBook9

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

No where. Black holes supposedly rip the very atoms of those who go inside them apart.

#ChaseForBook9

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

@☂dr☂

1. Until the next one begins
2. For ever.
3. Somewhere

OK DEFINITELY GONE NOW

Noelle said...

Hypothetically, but what we have are readings that have been interpreted a certain way.

Mycroft Holmes (Ember) said...

REPLIED

Noelle said...

Thank you Ember, that was deep.

But just imagine in your mind's eye- imagine the universe going on forever

Edward Fletcher said...

stephen hawking has also proven that it is a possibility that black holes are like wormholes and actually lead to another layer of dimension such as aprrallel

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

Replied to the reply, Ember. And I'll keep checking the post, most likely, so you don't have to comment it here.

Im here so i can eat lunch

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra:

How long does the universe go on for?
How long do you go on for? How long do I go on for? We never know exactly how long we'll exist. When we've found out how to tell when we'll die whilst we're still leaving - I mean, a method that can work for anyone everywhere, not just "I'll kill you tonight so you'll live till then" - maybe we can use it on the universe.
How long is forever?
Forever doesn't exist. Everything changes over time. It's nice to imagine things will last forever, though. However - how long is forever? You might as well ask how high a pencil can jump without assistance. The answer is, no amount.
Where do black holes go to
Black holes are portals to noexistance, I sometimes think. When we go through them, we won't exist, and so maybe I'll see all my imaginary friends on the same side of the glass wall. :)

#ChaseForForBookNine

I find that we always exist in one form or another, conscious or not. We are one. All is one and one is all

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*stands up* I'm going to Camp Half Blood. *begins to draw a portal*

If anyone would like to come

Star Inkbright said...

Hey Flora. :)

@Adra: They're relative terms. My imaginary friends exist as much as I do, just I'm existant and they're nonexistant. Like, people discuss the differences between humans and animals, and yet humans are animals really.

Sounds more fun than sitting in silence, I'm coming too! *jumps through portal*

Good thing I'm not imaginary.

*lands in the middle of the court yard* we need to go to Midgar as well.

I think... I don't know what house I'd be jn

Noelle said...

Bye Fabi! Bye Zaf?

*gasp* TRIP! HOW DARE YOU.

*frowns* I have a feeling... That you. Would be.

Hmmmm

I dunno. Zeus, Hades, Poseideon, Ares, Athena, Ceres, Haphaestus, Aphrodite, Bacchus, Hermes, um. Apollo and Diana

Noelle said...

Hunter, I feel like you would be Vulcan.

Edward Fletcher said...

ill be hades

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

No im omint with! You! *goes by Adra* Hades for me

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

Holy shit that's a lot of houses.

I have the whole boxed set, just haven't gotten around to reading them yet.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Haphaestus.

Trip? Hmmmm. I'm feeling Poseideon, but maybe Bacchus, just because of the wine.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Dionysus is his name

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

Yeah, I was about to suggest that, being a bartender and all.

#chaseforbook9

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

Do the houses pride any kind of beliefs or moral systems different to the others?

#ChaseForBook9

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

Wait, are we at the Greek camp or the Roman one?

[confused]

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Okay Flora! We're at Camp Half blood if you want to join!

And I know. I use their roman names most of the time anyway...

Noelle said...

The Greek one

Star Inkbright said...

. . . Me and Ez discussed this before, except we never decided what I was in because we got sidetracked plotting Camp Half-Blood-domination.

#ChaseForBookNine

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

Also, I'm back.

#ChaseForBook9

Edward Fletcher said...

soo, do we find a quest?

Star Inkbright said...

The Roman camp has a different name, plus it's on the other side of America.

(See, I've read these books.)

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*shrugs* or we can just hang out.

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

I'm from Hades cabin because I'm a Necromancer

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

I've read the books as well, I was just confused by the use of the Roman names. Sorry.

#ChaseForBook9

Edward Fletcher said...

im hades as well

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

I'll go for Bacchus, because it seems like it would be fun to get the blessing of the god of wine and parties.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Veni vidi Vici..

Also, I still don't know which house I'd be in....

Noelle said...

Sorry, Fabi! I'm a Latin nut

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

S'okay, it's cleared up now.

Moi non plus...

Adra...maybe Apollo? I don't know, though.

#ChaseForBook9

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Adra? Zeus.

Noelle said...

*frowns* damn.

Star Inkbright said...

. . .

I'll think about it.

I'm not really a huge believer in this-person-is-the-child-of-who. Someone is family if you love them.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*nods*

...I'll just stick with Apollo, then.

*runs up to the rock climbing wall*

WOOOOO

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*is quietly watching and does the archery*

No offense.

Bloody hell

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

I think Fabi might be a Hephaestus/Vulcan, since she likes making things and building things and stuff...

I can think of good reasons for almost any cabin, though, so... [shrugs]

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Probably Athena, actually. *nods* okay. Athena then

Oh my gosh, I have to leave for Pilates class in fifteen minutes!

Gtg, sorry. And still not sure about my cabin, really...

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

I know. *flexes her arms, pulling upward, trying to use the wall as a foot hold*
*another sprout of lava explodes next to her, and she pulls her head away*

ARGH THIS IS SO DIFFICULT

Star Inkbright said...

*wonders whether or not I'll survive if I jump in the lava*

Not 100% sure, Adra. There are so many aspects to people. They don't just fall in one category.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*waves to them both* Trip? Star? You two still here?

Star Inkbright said...

See you later, Zaf! And Fabi, although we haven't met!

How about you go first and deem if it's safe or not because I'm going to fall...

WELCOME TO THE CLUB, ARETHA!!!
*reaches up with her other arm, holding into the rock*

IS THE LAVA OK, HUNTER

Noelle said...

Farewell, Flora

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Personally I quite agree with Hunter- family should be made up of whoever loves you. Unfortunately blood families are not always there for each other the way they ought to be.

HUNTER

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Adra, I am inclined to believe you are not purposefully hanging off of that cliff... Would you like me to assist you?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Okay, screw this... *valts her self upward with an almighty push, away from the wall*
*screams, her foot hitting another hold, just barely holding on to the next*

AAAAAAH. I'm going to die.
Right. Last words.
I seek the great Perhaps.

*jumps upward again*

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Aretha would like me to mention that she finds it terribly amusing when grown men walk past her with slightly longer hair than she has.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

It's a rock climbing wall that shoots out lava, actually...

Star Inkbright said...

@Niccolo: ANd once again, you are correct.

Um.

*jumps in lava* *teleports out* Okay, not safe. *starts haling self* It doesn't hurt all that much, though. Burns your nerve endings off.

. . . This is a rather big healing job. Might exhaust me even with my extra energy supplies.

#ChaseForBookNine

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Oh, alright then. My only knowledge of Camp Half-Blood comes, once again, from Aretha, and she cannot tell me everything at once.

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Perhaps I could help you with that, then, Hunter?

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

*Looks down, far below*
Ah.
I don't think I should have done that.
*reaches again, but the next step breaks off, lava oozing from it*
For Chrissakes.
*jumps sideways, catching a different path*

Star Inkbright said...

@Niccolo: Sorry, but can I decline that offer? When I heal myself, I regrow my scars, and I like keeping them . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Edward Fletcher said...

* walks over from sword arena and watches* need help

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Of course. It was merely an offer- not a demand or even a request.

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

Right. Scars are fun.
*jumps again, reaching the top*
HELL YES-
*the top explodes, throwing her off , and she raises a rock from the ground to catch her as she falls*
*rolls off as the lava begins raining down, landing next to the two boys, raising a large cover of rock above them*
*sticks her face in the grass*

Star Inkbright said...

I would come and rescue you, Adra, but I'm busy.

The lava keeps melting everything that I heal . . .

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*murmurs from the grass*
I don't need rescuing

Edward Fletcher said...

* waves hand and freezes a dome for the lava * what next?

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: Yes, but precautions must be taken for radioactive milkshakes.

*tries to quickly almost-heal everything* Oh, that worked a bit.

*is healing my clothes at the same time, btw*

*no, I can't heal every object*

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

No offense, but how aren't you on fire?

Niccolò Croatoan said...

*walks closer to lava and stares, watching it move* *draws water from the air and drops it over lava, observing*

#ChaseForBook9

OKAY, HEALED.

You tell me, Sherlock.

Edward Fletcher said...

erm, ask adra

Noelle said...

Obsidian.

*pushes herself from the grass, retracting the rock cover above them*
*lightly touches the lava with the palm of her hand*

Holy Hera...

Star Inkbright said...

. . . I WAS on fire.

When I'm on fire, I convert all the oxygen in the air and it goes out.

But I was still MELTING. Grr.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

*in the air around me

And then I converted the heat energy, after I'd thought to do that, whihc wasn't for a bit, because I'm stupid..

So I actually had quite a lot of energy, because I could keep the heat energy.

. . . Pegasi don't really make sense. All other flying animals have bodies that are suited for flying. Light bones, streamlined feathers, shapes to slice neaty through the wind.

Pegasi are showing that awesomeness can conquer evolution and be random and nonsensical. I like them.

Excellant ded, Dynasty. :)

Oh, hello again, Trip.

Look! *points to Adra* I haven't attempted to kill her!

Do I get a medal or something? No? Okay, then can I get an imaginary medal? Even if you don't give me an imaginary medal, can I give myself one? Although I'm not too sure of the point in that. I mean, I won't end up with any more imaginary medals if I'm taking it from myself to give to myself. Do you think I should start collecting imaginary medals? If I decided to sell my collection, ow much do you think it would be worth? It wouldn't be worth much to existing people, but do you think it would be worth anything to nonexistant people? Do you think the would trade with me, seeing as how I exist? Do you think maybe I should just collect real live medals? Is there actually any point in collecting medals? Is there actually any point in collectung anything? Do you actually care? Are you actually reading this? I'm not too sure if you're reading this. Hey, if you're not reading this . . . I could just insult you now, and you'd never know even though it'd be right there in front of you. But on the other hadn, you could be reading this, in which case it's a bad idea. If you're reading this, why are you reading this? More to the point, why am I writing this? Why AM I writing this? I don't actually know. Is there any point in me writing it when I don't know why I'm writing this? SHould I stop writing this? Maybe I should stop writing this.

Thanks! :)

Noelle said...

*nods* I'm glad you've stopped writing.

But why would Trip care??

Star Inkbright said...

Because Trip is a caring person? I don't know why he would care, that's why I asked. IT IS A MISTAKE TO THEORISE WITHOUT ALL THE FACTS.

#ChaseForbookNine

Noelle said...

DON'T JUST ASSUME THINGS, HUNTER. *lands next to trip*

I think he's afk

Star Inkbright said...

@Adra: ISN'T THAT WHAT I JUST SAID???

"It is a mistake to theorise without all the facts" is Sherlock's way of saying "Don't just assume things, Hunter." That's Sherlock Holmes, not Sherlock Pingu. Yes, I watched that as well. Mwahaha.

im like sherlock holmes so either

Noelle said...

YOU WANNA GO, HUNTER???

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

Come on now ladies...

Star Inkbright said...

I was QUOTING Sherlock Holmes . . . *sighs*

Never mind.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

That wasn't an insult, I'M A GIRL

Noelle said...

Of course. *sighs* well, Trip's gone again... *the Pegasus jumps up again and flies around*


Edward Fletcher said...

i know you were quoting holmes but i use those phrases too

Star Inkbright said...

@Sherlock: Well then, you're awesome.

@Adra: You know, it's kind of boring when I'm not killing you.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

... I know.

... Wanna give it a go?

Star Inkbright said...

I just CANNOT win with you, can I? First you're moaning because I'm killing you, the next you're moaning because I'm not killing you.

. . . Well, the thing is, I realised that I actually didn't want you to die, so trying to kill you would be kind of pointless, but I'll have a go anyway if you want.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*shrugs* you tried to kill me when I was already down. That was low.


How about we just spar

Star Inkbright said...

. . . The thing is, when it's a battle of life and death, you take every opportunity you have. I don't care if it's 'low'. I am low. I am the lowest of the low. I may as well be low. If ice cream tries to be warm, it melts, so it may as well try and be cold, yeah?

We can spar if you want. To be honest, I'm pretty indifferent.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

People can always change, but if I don't want to change, I do not see the point in trying to change. I like being ice cream.

#ChaseForBookNine

Star Inkbright said...

Msd, btw.

#ChaseForBookNine

Edward Fletcher said...

ICE CREAM

Noelle said...

... *pivks up her fun, shooting thrice at Hunter*

I hate you

Edward Fletcher said...

gotta go

#chaseforbook9

Noelle said...

Bye Sherlock!!!

Star Inkbright said...

See you later, Sherlock! :(

Many do, Adra. *ducks bullets at superspeed*

*fires lasers back*

I have a really good idea of how to end this.

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

Really? Good for you!

*jumps. Dodging the laser, shooting rocks at him* do tell

Star Inkbright said...

If I told you, it would ruin the surprise. *smiles*

*blasts rocks to pieves with lasers* *frowns as the shards sting my ungloved hands (I didn't regrow the gloves after the lava)*

You're getting predictable, Adraaaaa . . .

So am I, actually . . . *frowns*

*teleports just above Adra and falls on her* *electrocutes her*

#ChaseForBookNine

Noelle said...

*grits her teeth, growling at him, and slamming her forehead into his*
*picks up a rock, smelling it into the side of his face again and again*

Maralie Lily Charm said...

I THINK I SAW DEREK IN A BURGER PLACE, OMFGG

/crying

#ChaseForBook9

Noelle said...

OMG Mara :D

Star Inkbright said...

*teleports helmet on* *wraps hands around Adra's throat and tightens them*

My. I disappear for a mere hour and a half and the two of you are already at each other's throats. Not as though my presence has any impact on whether or not the two of you fight- that was merely an observation. I had thought the two of you determined it was best to avoid killing each other. And I understand the two of you are sparring, but is that not just as dangerous to Adra's health?

#ChaseForBook9

Niccolò Croatoan said...

Hello, Maralie. That is certainly interesting.

Maralie Lily Charm said...
