Darkness and the Doctor

So has anybody seen that Dr. Horrible video?

For those who haven't heard of it, it's a little thing Joss Whedon did during the writers' strike. It contains 3 acts. One's already out. The next one will be out tomorrow. And here's a quote from Joss that can explain the thing better than I could.

"It's the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he's too shy to talk to." - Joss Whedon

So, that's about it for the summary. IMO, the webshow ends up being a little schizophrenic in the first act. I didn't like a couple of the songs. Still, it was pretty good. I liked Nathan Fillion's performance. And for anyone who wants to watch it legally and free, you only have this week to do it.

And on a sad note, one of my friends on this site, Darklordavaitor, was recently banned. He knew what to say when it came to cartoons, life, and music. So Darklord, if you're reading this, hope you have a good future elsewhere.

Oh, and I'll be going to New York and Washington D.C. sometime next week. So, that's it for the blog.

I'm not afraid of heights, I'm just afraid of falling from them...

So, haven't made a blog in a long time. I don't really have much to tal-- (checks news) Oh God, George Carlin's dead.

George Carlin

Oh no. Didn't expect this. So, legendary comedian Geroge Carlin died of heart failure at age 71 sometime today. I don't know what to say. I liked his work. Even when I was a kid, I liked him. Even though he was that guy who narrated Thomas the Tank Engine and played a really small conductor back when I was a kid, I still liked him. It ended up being a huge shock when I realized that Carlin was that guy from Thomas the Tank Engine. So, I'll just say that he was a great comedian and actor. He had a lot of great things to say about society and I will always respect him for that. And with comedy becoming more and more lowbrow, I don't know if there will ever be another legend like him.

RIP George Carlin May 12, 1937 - June 22, 2008

So, I watched some of Camp Rock a few days ago. Hated it. The actors were too dull. There was too much pop music. It was too corny. Honestly, I have a high tolerance for bad movies, but movies like this are just too much. Overall, I give it a 1/10.

And I haven't watched Turn Left yet. I had a cold today, so I didn't have time. I'll probably watch it tomorrow or Tuesday. So, that's it for the blog. Good night.

And so June begins.

This morning, I went on a sponsored walk for my school. I mostly went because my teacher was handing out extra credit for going there. Also, free T-shirts. The downside is, I was really, really drowsy when doing it. I only slept for a couple hours the night before. So... yeah.

Since the last blog, I've found some stuff from the news that's just really stupid and nonsensical. Like, those Dunkin Donuts ads getting pulled just because Rachael Ray wore a scarf that kind of looked like an arab headdress. Then, there's the story about Christian groups trying to change the logo for Starbuck's Coffee because it looks "suggestive" and "obscene". Honestly, what's wrong with it? Yeah, the original logo isn't really family-friendly. But, I don't think that most of the customers are aware of it.

Oh, and I saw the Dollhouse trailer. It looks good. Initially, I was kind of confused about what the plot was going to be about. But, it looks promising. Hope this ends up being another hit for Joss.

OBEY TEH DUCK-MUFFIN!

Also, I have to go through another round of MCAS this week. This time, it's biology. Still, biology's not that hard. So, good night and have a great June 1st.

Thursday's Child

So, it's May 19, 2008. The sun's somewhat shining. Finale Fanfare still rages on. And I don't really know what else to say.

So, haven't made a blog in over two weeks. So, Doctor's Daughter and TUATW were pretty good. So was BSG's Guess What's Coming To Dinner.
***SPOILER***


So I've heard about the Life On Mars remake. Even saw the trailer, which sucks. Really, why make a remake? They could show the original on ABC for a while. I don't think viewers are that stupid to not understand British accents. I don't want to judge just by the trailer, but it looks too stereotypically 70s. And why did they need to remake Gene Hunt? You can't copy the Gene Genie. The Gene Genie

Still, ABC hasn't let me down that much compared to the other networks. There's a slim chance that it might be good.

And like all people from Massachusetts, I have to take the Math section of MCAS this week. So, wish me luck and good night.

A hat can tell you so much about one's personality...

Yeah, random, out-of-context proverb I made up in a few minutes. Couldn't think of anything else for a title. Okay, now...

Sontaran

So I watched The Sontaran Strategem last week. Above is a picture of a Sontaran, which resembles the unholy love child of Mr. Potato Head and a Power Ranger. I personally thought it was okay. It wasn't really good. I did like some parts like when Donna's mom, Wilfred, Donna, and the Doctor met up and argued. What killed the story for me was the "SON-TARAN! SON-TARAN!" battlecry they had going on at the ending. I just laughed during that whole time. And continuing with H2G2, I'm almost finished with Restaurant At The End of the Universe. I'm at the part where Arthur and Ford crashed at a planet where they just walk and find nearby fruit.

Also, I have something I've been planning to tell those of you who don't know for a long time. Apparently, someone's made a badly-written fanfic that has me as a side character. It's called Die Immortal. It's about the life of two emo people who go to Starbucks named Azurecries and Darklordavaitor, who are also somewhat "inspired" by users from this site. There's also a ton of petty jabs at Captain Nemo, Nightwish, and My Chemical Romance. I can't help but feel a little flattered. Still, Die Immortal's not a pleasant read. Seriously, here's a sample of it. Credits to Name for writing the story.

"I hereby wish for the revival of Marco Nightwish."


There was a blinding light. Luckily, Huntsy was wearing his shades and tanning lotion.


The vortex ejected a figure, landing on the ground in front of AC.
Everyone crowded around close.


Marco got up.


"You dumb mug, get your mitts off the marbles before I stuff that mud-pipe down your mush - and tell your moll to hand over the mazuma." he said.


Marco! yelled AC!


"Holla back, bebe" he said.


"Did you get a haircut?" asked ac, staring at his shiningly stunning hairless head.


"I used some of that there "Sexyfine" product" he said.


"hey! you used my sexyfine! " yelled Huntsy.


"yo homie he ova dere b madd illin cuz yo he be Gellin like a fealon YA KNAWH WUT IM SAYIN chea" said Marco.



I sincerely apologize to any Nightwish fan who read that. Oh, and I'm planning to watch Iron Man sometime on Monday. Hope it'll be good.

So that's the end of the blog. Good Night.
