Beautiful Film Making

I LOVE good film making. I love it when plots are exceptionally written, when acting is so good and even subtle facial expressions contribute to intense interactions and stuff. I love gorgeous scenes that make you triumphant or cry, etc. Here are a couple of my favorite movies or at least some of my favorite movie moments.

This is not one of my favorite movies, but this is the my all-time favorite segment of a movie because it's so gorgeous and there's so much emotion and the music is so fantastic.



The Prestige is definitely one of my all-time favorite movies in the world because the plot, the script and the editing is so brilliant. There are so many little symbolic little things in the whole movie that I am so impressed with every time I see it.



The Village is another of my most favorite movies. If you watch it just as entertainment you could say "oh that's so hokey, lalala" but if you analyze the details, like the colors of the robes, the village children's handicaps, etc. it makes it so amazing!


e.

This is a really dark movie, but Joker character + Heather Ledger = excellent filmmaking.



And these are just a few. Someday I will post more. I love great movies! But alternately, I also HATE dumb movies. I'm a harsh critic of movies and am very hard to please. But anywho, these are some that I love. The End.

My Radiator!

So I was driving along the road between Logan and Sardine Canyon, minding my own business, when I heard a strange POP! I didn't think too much of it until I looked out my rear window and saw smoke puffing from my car. I got kind of concerned thinking I probably hit a rock or skunk or something and it had knocked something big and important off my engine. I pulled off to the side of the road and pulled up my hood. Some sort of green liquid gushed out of the fender, out the bottom and was splashed all over the engine. I took a few pictures as evidence of this neon mess.
I later learned this beautiful green stuff is commonly known as "anti-freeze", the same substance that killed my little cat Bunny when I was 10.I called my buddy Jarett and he confirmed that it was definitely something awry with the radiator. I called CarSmart, a local fix-it shop but unfortunately it was closed! So I called an aquaintance Josh Turley from work who was so extremely nice and offered to come and pick me up. While I waited I enjoyed the surroundings.







Josh and his little brother Isaac picked me up with their truck and pulled me to Auto Zone where an employee there dumped water down my radiator to see if there was a leak. Well, the water gushed out of a 15 inch crack all along the bottom of the radiator. We pulled it to a shop and ditched it there for the weekend. Oh what a day!

Dates and Dumbness

Our apartment decided that we wanted an apartment group date. We set each other up with our friends which turned out pretty awesome - despite 6 couples having never met their dates before in their lives. Our date went thusly:

We all piled in cars, each couple armed with a camera for a Picture Scavenger Hunt. And where do you go if you're going to take really fantastic and disrespectful pictures? Walmart... I went with an awesome dude named Grant Keaton. We totally won the contest. And here are our fantastic pictures:
This is our "Where's Waldo" Picture. Can you find Waldo? (I'm in a striped red and white shirt and a red baseball hat.)
Our favorite cereals, Marshmallow Mateys and Fruity Dino Bites, dressed in lady's underwear.Favorite Disney Movie: Sword in the Stone. Or Sword in the Pedigree Dog Food.Childhood memory of Grant being hit in the face by a baseball.Grant's favorite color. Mmmmmm...greeeeeeeen.Very Artistic, eh? (PS my font changed on its own...I don't know how to fix it.)

We won this wonderful contest. After getting kicked out of Walmart, we went home and ate Pazukies (some sort of soggy cookie with ice cream and toppings....droooooool). Then we all just at around and chatted. I was actually pretty impressed with Grant. We talked about a lot of stuff. Proposition 8, the gospel, philosophies on life and people...it was very intellectual. All in all, it was fun! The End.

Glenn Beck

I can never watch too much of Glenn Beck, because I tend to feel "dooms day" about life, but sometimes we just all need to know. It's really crazy what we're likely to be headed into. And crazy as people may think, I really think that Obama is purposefully bulldozing our country to try to head on a Global Government.
