The Scary and The Pleasing

Yeah, I know, odd title huh? Well I didn't wanna do the boring "Life Update" which is basically what every blog post is anyways, right? Great, first two sentences in the newest blog post are questions. >.< How lame is that? lol.

Paranormal Activity. Yes, there are soo many commercials about it, but it really doesn't say much. I mean, how can you trust critics and general hype? Here's some background info about the movie. It was made in 7 days and cost $11,000 to make, which was made in 2006. Yes, it took THIS long for the movie to get THIS big.

Now, it IS a scary movie. I never get scared with movies. Video Games are a bit more 'real'. They give you the sense of you being THAT character, and being in danger. But even in Video Games it's hard for me to be scared. THIS movie, however, got me a bit scared, though oddly enough it wasn't for my life, it was for Ty's. (In the movie, it seems the 'haunter' is obsessed with the girl, so of course I worried about MY girl, and got scared if she was going to be ok, and what if that happened to her, ect. >.< So yes I was scared, I admit it, a movie scared me, just not in the way I expected.)

What I can say, that's bad about the movie.. Ok, 2 things. First thing is, the free-roaming camera. It was done in movies such as Clover Field and Blair Witch Project to help promote realism. It's more-like Cloverfield, in which there is a REASON for the camera and it's implemented into the storyline, so it makes more sense then, say, Open Water. Where people are stranded out of a boat in the middle of the ocean, and I constantly asked "What about the camera man?" lol. The bad thing about this, is when it gets implemented into the big screen. It's dark, all you concentrate is the screen and the camera angle, which is constnatly moving against your own point of view and eyesight. I want to see what's in the corner on the left while the camera is slowly moving to the right. Throughout the entire movie, 'motion sickness' comes into play.

Second thing is... And I'll try to say this without spoiling anything. The ending, is both awesome, but ruined. In the preview they constantly show, what has to be the most important scene in the movie, as well as the ending. It's only part of it, but it's enough for everyone around me to jump and scream, and for me to go "Aww, come on, I remember that from the preview."

It is a great movie, I highly recommend it.. I'll definitely be buying the DVD whenever it comes out.. Then again, still waiting for "9" to come out on DVD too. -.-

OK! THAT WAS THE SCARY! NOW FOR THE PLEASING!!!

I'm going to be traveling to, and staying with, my lovely girlfriend/soul mate, Tyler. I'll be leaving on Dec 27th, and arriving there around 28th (I believe), and then staying there until Jan 6th. (I do have to re-work the numbers just to make sure, but I'm 90% sure that's right.) So at that time, I'll be online very rarely. But it'll be the most awesome trip ever. =) I'll still have my phone of course, not that any of you know the number, or text..

Or hell, not that any of you even read this anyways.. >.> *Waves at Tyler, probably the only reader left* I love you, gorgeous. =)
