I saw Splice

So I just got back from seeing Splice. <-- Click me for the trailer if you haven't seen it already.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

It was pretty terrible. I didn't like it very much. I went into it not expecting much and thats what I got.

As you may or may not know, I love watching movies and reading books which offend people and are generally disgusting or disturbing. So I really respect them for pushing the envelope a little bit. They went further than a lot of hollywood movies go, especially since this is just a summer movie. They weren't afraid to get a little weird.

However, the weird rape scene was not well executed in my opinion. It was not particularly disturbing to me, even though it was technically bestiality. It was just uncomfortable, I did not care. This goes for the other weird sex scene. It was just awkward for everyone. Nobody was particularly disgusted/turned on. It won't make the most disturbing films list(s) (yes, there are many. Yes, I strive to watch them all).

I think this movie would have been better if they went a little deeper into the ethics. They made the Dren character quite unlikeable so the whole human side to her kind of got thrown in the trash. Even though she appeared to be more intelligent than most humans they kind of made her a 100% instinct monster at the end. At least they made the girl smarter than the boy version... cause I'm about to have a feminist rant in the next paragraph.

They used the old : "Don't listen to the bitch". What I mean is that basically whatever the female lead character did was the opposite thing that most normal people would do. Like keep the f***ing mutant animal-human child. I guess screenwriters think all women have some sort of overwhelming maternal instinct that would convince us to do stupid shit especially for anything carrying our genes. Hell Nawww. Should have listened to Adrian Brody when he wanted to stab the thing. Then at the end... oh gawd why.

So I guess they were going for a kind of Freudian feel with this one. With the whole daughter having sex with the father and then turning on the mother and then the opposite when she became a dude. But it really didn't work according to me.

So, thats my opinion on Splice. Don't watch unless you are really bored.

A serious issue

Some of you may not know this, but I am a radical bitchinist! Dogs everywhere are getting degraded by pornDOGaphy... Us bitches shouldn't take being oppressed by the humarchy anymore! Watch this video to understand:

(I officially need to learn HTML again because these links don't even work for me. wtf blogger)

This is a joke don't worry! Its to make fun of these debates which have been raging on youtube these days. Basically theres the radical (aka scary) feminists on one side then the sex positive ones (an basically all males) on the other side. The radical feminists do make some pretty great points about potential abuse and trafficking but so do the sex positive people.

I can haz stalker?

So theres this weird guy who has been commenting on all of my blog posts... JUST KIDDING! its just B-dog (Brandon) and he has a blog too :
http://bdvshopefullycomedicrambles.blogspot.com - I couldn't get this stupid HTML to work to link this.

So you can check it out if you want to! It has just started but I'm sure it will end up being awesome!

Happy Caturday /Shattnerday (depending on which you like better :P)

Amanda

Excited to come home soon!

So I have been gone for about six weeks, and I really miss you guys! (All of you four people who read my blog... 3 of whom have not actually clicked follow yet...)

Anyways in two weeks I come home! YAY! I miss being home and stuff cause my room here is nowhere near as cool as my real room. Except I have a lot of books here. Thats about it. But more importantly, I miss hanging out with you! I haven't seen Han in six months!

When I get back to Ottawa I plan on trying to get a job. I'm thinking restaurant or maybe a store close to my haus. This is mainly to fund my next year at school and also to possibly put away some money to start a more creative business. For example: I think it would be cool to make Star Trek uniforms since no one really does that around here.

Also, I have two announcements. First of all I want to start taking my health a little more seriously, so you guys can help me on that one. But I first need to go see the doctor because I have an issue or two to sort out (I won't bore you with my hypochondriac thoughts) and the second is that I want to try to make some Youtube vids so making you can give me some feedback on that.

:D

Star Trek

So, some of you may be thinking: wow, I haven't heard Amanda go on and on about Star Trek in a while...

Well today is your lucky day! Somebody has been in the shower for a long time and I want to go in there. But I can't so I figured I would write a blog.

I really want to dress up in a Starfleet uniform (aka Star Trek costume) for Halloween this year. But I am having difficulties choosing which one because the one they use for my favorite series (TNG) is extremely ugly. Well its actually cool to me, but its not very flattering and it looks like the 80's farted on it. Then theres the original ST dress which is actually really cute and very recognizable. Then theres the voyager/all the other ones its in uniform which is the coolest in the nerd sense. But again, its not really "cute" in to the average person.

So that is my pickle.

Shrek!

So I saw Shrek today and I actually enjoyed it a lot :) It had a lot of good jokes. One or two bad ones but whatever, everybody else seemed to think it was funny. But they probably like family guy....

I love cheez

Seriously, I'm talking about fake cheese on cheetos and in those slices. I don't know why I like it since it is very unappealing to me until its actually in my mouth. Not cheez whiz though. That stuff is not my fave.

So I set off the fire alarm in my room last night. It was totally stupid! I was very cold so I turned on the heat setting on my fan and it started to smell weird but I didn't think that anything was wrong but I guess my fire alarm did... so I had to wave a pillow over my head to make it stop so that it wouldn't keep going and then force the whole building to evacuate... thankfully that didn't happen. BUT i was so afraid I was going to get in trouble and I did technically wake up my whole floor (oops). LFMF

I have been watching this guy on Youtube recently. His channel name is Nykytyne2. I am kind of in admiration/love with him. He has beautiful long hair, is actually pretty funny, loves the same composers as me and has extremely valid opinions. I really recommend his videos if you want to see someone who is more intelligent than a donkey. (hard to find on youtube) hes older --> @ Han

You should take a moment today to think about nihilist existentialism today.
