dream....dream dream dream

when i want you, in the night
when i want you, to hold me tight
whenever i want you, all i have to do is dream

ahh. the everly brothers. thank you for producing the most beautiful piece of music ever. all i have to do is dream, my favourite song of all time. it carries so many family memories.

i love dreams. they are so fun. and most of the time i can control them, which makes it funner.

therefore, inception = THE. BEST. MOVIE. EVER.
fuck snow white. fuck lilo and stitch. fuck about a boy. fuck star trek.
inception is the greatest cinematic adventure i have ever been on.
inception: an event that is a beginning; a first part or stage of subsequent events
yeah when i watched it today, i didn't even know what inception meant. but i worked it out on the ol' google machine.

the thing that blew my mind the most, was the epic fight scene with gordon joseph-levitt. that was GRAVITY FREE. i was actually smiling in the cinema. and i turned around to see if anyone was staring at me thinking "wtf", but i was in the clear. i actually moved onto the edge of my seat and put my hands under my chin like a five year old kid watching a magician or something. it was soooo good.
gordon joseph-levitt is so fucking hot. it's crazy. and apparently he is only having heaps of success lately cos he looks like heath ledger? i know you aren't supposed to be disrespectful to the dead...but fuck heath. gordon is like....a god next to that guy.
other benefits of this movie include:
ellen page (she was juno, you know the pregnant pretentious teen)
cillian murphy (hot. was in batman.)
marion cotillard (her crap american accent has improved in this but after watching public enemy when she says "fat boy" with the wooooorst attempt at an american accent possible...i just can't stop pissing myself laughing at this frenchie. she is good in love me if you dare though, please stay in french i say)
christopher nolan is the director (he did batman and the prestige)
the old guy that is the butler in batman and also some inventor in the prestige
oh and leonardo di caprio. why not. fat and seedy always = a good performance

highly recommended for multiple views.

o romeo, romeo, wherefore art thou romeo?

i have realised something just now.
romeo and juliet is the most ridiculous play i have ever read.
if i were to like a guy, and this guy liked me, i would not be standing at my balcony wondering where he was...out loud. worse yet, if i did do this, and he appeared out of nowhere and asked me to marry him, i would not say yes. especially not the day after. and afterwards i would probably stay away from him.

apparently, the good man william shakespeare intended for romeo and juliet to be around 14 years old (heaven forbid). at 14, romeo loses rosaline. he sees juliet. they "fall in love". they get married. they kill themselves. at 14. that is sick. they are clearly just insane out of their brains.
and they all just kill each other. tybalt. mercutio. and of course romeo and juliet. it's not even revenge tragedy. it's not a love story. to me it's just a sick tragedy. that is overdone and unbelievable. the storyline, i'm talking about. entertainment value would only come from humour.
i will admit the film version with claire danes and leonardo di caprio is entertaining though.
claire danes is hot and dtf, down to fuck, one.
two, when "da boys" are riding in their car playing doof doof music the lyrics are "da boys, da boys" with a true ganga wog accent. it's classic.
three, mercutio is black and provides the best part of the movie when he taunts "row-may-o".
leonardo di caprio is frickin hilarious when he's crying, yelling "juliet" and "then i defy you, stars". all squinty and topless with no package to offer, no washboard for the laundry, no grater for the cheese, no sandpaper for jesus (yes, he was a carpenter).
hey look, a japanese version that is based (very loosely) on the story of romeo and juliet. go asia.

but overall, it's a ridiculous storyline and i can not empathise or sympathise with them arty fartys that looooooove it...i'll love you in a minute (not really).

i'm under house confinement

and it's not fun at all.
to entertain myself, i am looking through my compiled pictures of things that interest me:
behind chuck norris' beard, there isn't a chin, just another fist.
lovely.
ok you might not be a green day nut like me. but behind fry, that is the album art for dookie, green day's third album released in 1994. yes, it is part of my ridiculous over a thousand dollar green day collection.
the greatest show ever. inspector rex. or to purist fans like myself: kommissar rex. i want a german sheperd so i can call him inspector rex. all those ham rolls. the fat guy. the ugly guy. and the hot guy. this guy was my favourite inspector, kommissar brandtner i think he was called. but the main "hot" one kept changing actors and names.
napoleon dynamite. enough said.
blades of glory. no exaggeration the most quotable movie ever made. along with mean girls. but i like this one better. my friend and i have a wall post on fb quoting the whole movie from start to finish. yes, i am a god. we aren't done, but hopefully it'll be done by the end of the month....these few months....the year.

yeah i'm bored.

chuck norris...prepare to meet your match

so...i am aware of the greatness of chuck norris. i know from my childhood (circa: 4 years old) that he is so menacing, his show walker was only allowed to be played at 3am.
chuck norris never sleeps. he waits.
chuck norris can sneeze with his eyes open.
chuck norris' hand is the only hand that can beat a royal flush.
chuck norris can round-house kick you in the face faster than the speed of light. this means when you turn your light off to go to bed at night, you're dead before it gets dark.

oh yes. you better believe it. and i, archer, shall defeat him in greatness. it may take all my life to get to that stage. but hell, i will get there.

here is a link to the top 50 chuck norris facts

another funny link to a site that definitely cheered me up with good "walks into a bar jokes" (no seriously, grade A material, first class, top notch) and also a page of chuck norris facts.

the greatest stories ever told

are robin hood and those of greek mythology.

the current bbc series of robin hood is an ok adaptation. i must admit though, i do not like lady marian...she just appeared out of nowhere to please audiences. robin hood never needed a woman in the original version of the legend. at least not just one anyway XD

and plus robin longstride arches, and wears hoods...just like me!








greek mythology...a billion stories woven together. with fantastical creatures and epic adventures. makes for great movies. and excellent plays. i recommend medea. this psycho bitch kills her own kids. i like that.
