At the moment, my boyfriend is helping me set up a new blog website! I can't wait to show it to everyone! Right now, we are only creating the basic outline of the website, but hopefully within the next two days it will be up and running!
As soon as the website is fully functional, I will post a link to the site.
Thanks for your patience with my lack of blog posts!

Real-Time Blog of Commercials during the Super Bowl
Today I am watching the Super Bowl. I am not a football watching kind of a gal. I was in marching band in high school and cheered for my team. It's enjoyable from time to time, but I just can not follow a whole season.
However, what I do love about the Super Bowl is the three F's: food, friends, and funny [ads]. I always joke around and tell my friends and kids I work with that the Super Bowl is one of my favorite holidays. It's because I'm always having a good time eating food with my favorite people and laughing at funny ads. My other favorite holidays - Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter - all involve lots of food and my favorite people as well.
So here I am, watching the game while drinking a Diet Pepsi and some Smirnoff, eating some chili dip and pretzels. However, I am more in this for the ads.
The fun thing about the ads as of 2011 is that you can vote "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" on Hulu for them right after they are shown on the television. So if you missed one the first time, want to see them again, don't want to watch the game but want to watch the ads, or want to vote, head on over. I have a widget at the end of this post (hopefully it will work) that will take you to Hulu.com to see the ads.
Now, I'll just be making a few comments for each ad. There may be spoilers. At the end I'll state whether I gave it a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" on Hulu. This will be for creativity/hilarity of the ad. I will not rate the ads that are for campaigns.
Here we go...
Groupon "Whales" ("thumbs up"): Starts off with Cuba Gooding Jr. narrating about how whales are becoming extinct but then getting excited about how he and his friends got a discount on Groupon.com to go view the whales from a boat. When I saw this on tv, I thought it was an ad to save the whales, but I did not see the end coming.
Bud Light "Hack Job" ("thumbs down"): I just felt like the ad played off of stereotypes and wasn't as original/creative as I wanted it to be. Didn't really cause me to laugh.
Doritos "Pug Attack" (up): This was my favorite ad so far. It is about a man who taunts a dog through a glass door with Doritos. I bet you can guess who won that one. I also loved how the little dog's folds/ears were bouncing as it ran. So cute. So funny.
Audi "Release the Hounds" (up): This commercial showed many rich, older generation men and women locked up in a high end prison with their long cigarettes, fancy clothing, and champagne glasses. Two men escape and the prison unleashes some "tricks/traps" to catch the criminals. I laughed a bit and found the different ways they tried to catch the men to be creative. Plus there's a surprise at the end with Kenny G serenading the inmates.
Chevrolet "Cruze Eco Misunderstanding" (down): This commercial also plays on a stereotype, that old people cannot hear. I didn't find many of the comments made during the commercial funny. Also, the old people were watching a commercial about the new Chevrolet, so I found that a little redundant.
Bud Light "Product Placement" (up): I liked this commercial a lot better than their ad earlier in the night. They played off of the fact that there are a lot of ads in movies and put Bud Light EVERYWHERE in their sword-fighting battle. The part that I loved the most was when a huge Bud Light semi crashed through the set. Much better.
Chevrolet "Silverado TVC Tommy" (up): This commercial used a car instead of a dog to play Lassie. It would honk instead of barking when the child was in trouble and then help his parents rescue him. There are all kinds of ridiculous scenarios other than just the kid getting stuck in the well. I laughed during this ad.
Pepsi "Love Hurts" (up): If you love watching someone get knocked out by a can of Pepsi to the forehead, this commercial is for you. Throughout the commercial, it shows a man creatively cheating on his diet in different rooms and different ways - and his wife catching him each time. The last part of the commercial is where the hilarity ensues. BAM! I think this ad is another favorite
Doritos "The Best Part" (up): Doritos definitely has a leg up in the ad game this year so far. They now have not one, but two of my favorite ads! This commercial shows a creepy guy hanging out behind people eating eating Doritos to lick off/smell the remains on their body (fingers, pants, etc). This is another one you should check out.
Pepsi "Torpedo Cooler" (down): I know I rated another ad as a "thumbs up" for someone getting hit in the head and this has someone getting hit in the nuts and I give it a "thumbs down". I don't know, I didn't like the characters as much and found the nuts shot too fake. I do want a machine that shoots me cold Pepsi from across the lawn.
Doritos "House Sitting" (up): I don't think this ad is one of my favorites like the other Dorito ads, but it was still pretty good. The fact that the house sitting friend brings back things from the dead with Dorito sprinkles makes me wish that could happen sometimes (what I really want is for Doritos to bring Pushing Daisies back from the dead). Anyhow, the last thing that he brings back from the dead is the greatest.
Hyundai "Hypnotize" (down): This ad didn't really do much for me, just a kid getting zoned out with a creepy bunny on his dashboard.
Kia "One Epic Ride (up): I liked how the Kia car went through time and different centuries. The scenes were well done and the ways in which they showcased the car were creative.
Lipton Brisk "Eminem" (down): It was interesting to see Eminem animated and his world flip around as he walked, but I really didn't connect much with the commercial. All I thought was "oh cool, Eminem animated" and that was it.
Go Daddy "The New Go Daddy Girl" (down): It's always the same old thing every year with Go Daddy. Show a hot chick doing something, say you can find the rest on the website. This year they added disgusting Joan Rivers as the "new girl". Gross. She's the one who decides whether people have fashion sense or not on the red carpet and has a gross looking face. I could care not to watch that again.
Budweiser "Wild West" (down): A scary guy walks in the door and once he gets his Budweiser becomes all soft and starts singing. Seemed pretty predictable and the song choice made me more annoyed because it's overplayed than anything.
Telaflora "Help Me Faith" (up): This commercial reminds me of some of the things my guy friends have joked around with me about.
BMW "X3" (down): The commercial just showed off the car.
Motorola "Empower the People"(up): Another favorite. Loved the reference to 1984, loved the costumes, loved the plot.
Coca-cola "Seige" (not sure): I liked the animation of this clip; was kinda thinking it was a preview. But it wasn't. I didn't really get the plot of the commercial - how the dragon shot fireworks/confetti out of its mouth and scared off an army. I didn't think the dragon was that scary. Meh.
Volkswagon "The Force" (up): I love how a little kid is in a Darth Vader costume trying to use the force on different things throughout the commercial. Makes me want to be a kid again. I especially love the look that he gets when he thinks he actually used the force at the end. Only problem is, this version was so short on the television. I saw a preview, the long version, of this commercial online earlier today. Please go check that out if you can because that's another one of my favorites.
Careerbuilder "Parking Lot" (down): I'm over monkeys in commercials. The concept was pretty funny but I just don't find monkeys that funny anymore.
Chevrolet "Cruze Status" (down): I don't care if you had a good first date or not, checking your facebook status from your car immediately after you get done with a date is lame.
CarMax "Kid in Candy Store" (not sure): This commercial was creative in the way it was played out how everyone thought that they felt really special like another group of people. I especially liked the mermaid at the swim meet. But honestly, I don't think I would ever feel THAT special being a CarMax customer. I would rather be the kid in the candy store.
Mars "Snickers" (up): I don't care that this commercial is almost exactly like last years, I still found it funny (especially when the woman got knocked over by the log). Not a favorite but still pretty funny.
Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY "Surgeon-Extended" (down): I don't remember seeing this one on the television. And I'm glad I didn't. Surgically putting thumbs onto the green droid guy?! GROSS. It just looks demented.
Salesforce "Chatter.com" (down): I could care less, and find a bit annoying, animated baby versions of the Black Eyed Peas. Also, I don't need any new social networking things in my life. I definitely don't feel like commenting on the next ad by them cause I just didn't care for it either.
CarMax "Go First" (down): Just didn't really care about people making others go first and try something to see if it was poisonous or get shot by enemies. I didn't feel a strong relation between that and the cars.
E-Trade "Tailor" (down): This is one of those yearly commercials that needs to die. The E-Trade talking baby is creepy. Realize it.
Hyundai "Deprogramming" (down): Pretty similar to their last ad. I see how they want to keep the consistency but I found it boring. Put that stuff on television when the Super Bowl isn't on.
Groupon "Tibet" (up): Yet another satirical commercial from Groupon that I laughed out loud at. I would say Doritos and Groupon have most of my favorites tonight.
Coca-cola "Border" (up): I thought this commercial was cute. Redrawing a border to share a Coke with an enemy = nice. I liked the look on their faces when they made sure no one was watching. Also, this commercial reminded me of what many Coca-Cola ads are about: sharing.
Stella Artois "Crying Jean" (up): Adrien Brody played a perfect part in this commercial. It was enough to make me cry and grab for a Stella Artois (okay, not really but I just loved his character).
CarMax "Gas Station" (up): I liked this ad the best out of all of the CarMax commercials. It's probably one of my favorites. The guy in the car was so freaked out by old-timey customer service, it was hilarious to watch.
Chrysler "Imported from Detroit" (down): I may be from the great state of Michigan, but that doesn't mean I have to give a thumbs up to this ad. I did like the way they showcased Detroit with the scenery and statues and buildings. What I didn't like was the second Eminem stepped out of the car, it discounted everything else in the commercial. Oh well.
Mini Countryman "Cram it in the Boot" (not sure): I liked this ad because it was kinda dirty the way they were saying "have you ever crammed it in the boot?" (butt, teehee). But I don't know how I feel about the ad as a whole yet.
Best Buy "Ozzy vs. Bieber" (up): I thought this was funny because it was making fun of 3G/4G, phones, Tron, and Bieber/Ozzy and how no one can keep up with the technology. Also, I like how they said "what is a Bieber?" "I think it's a girl".
Bridgestone "Reply All" (up): I loved how this office guy just ran around demolishing all kinds of peoples' computers because he hit reply all by accident on an e-mail.

Real-Time Blog of Troll 2
So my boyfriend and I were watching "Best Worst Movie", a documentary about "Troll 2", and he states that we haven't watched "Troll 2" yet. So luckily I find it on Netflix Instant Queue. Here is my real-time blogging of "Troll 2", a terrible movie:
0:00 - Intro with trolls
3:50 - Foreshadowing
4:00 - Started leaking green food coloring
4:26 - Do they really eat people?
5:00 - Apparently the Grandpa who was in the rocking chair is really dead. For like 6 months. Disappears.
5:40 - Wow, she really had to say out loud "me, his daughter" like I couldn't figure that out.
6:07 - The pacing is so slow.
6:15 - I really don't think you needed to say goodnight twice.
6:30 - yeah pump that iron and flash epic posters of horses
6:50 - Do you need all of those things on your work-out suit?
7:20 - Awkward open shirt dad.
7:34 - If there are only 20 people in the town, it's probably a creeper.
7:40 - Nobody wants to live like our ancestors, that's why we don't anymore.
7:56 - "when I was a kid, I had a playmate too" "but it wasn't your dead Grandfather" AWESOME
8:00-ish - "Who are the goblins?" "THE GOBLINS?!"
8:50 - The goblins are probably in your closet
9:10 - No, do not disgrace the Pistons in this movie by putting a banner of theirs in the little boy's room.
9:30 - Wow, what creepers, sneaking in on the child while he's sleeping, then on the girl while she's pumping iron.
9:57 - You're a victim of a nocturnal rapture
10:00 - release your instincts in the bathroom" "what do you want me to turn into a homo?"
10:38 - "my dad could eat your nuts"
10:50 - "What's wrong with having friends?" "Nothing if you want to be a virgin. You bring them to sleep with you, and I don't believe in group sex" ....whaaat?
11:00 - Then after calling the boy a homo who loves his friends, you want him to be your boyfriend and invite him on vacation. Then a little bit later he forgets to show up.
12:46 - "sing that song I like so much" "Row, row, row your boat" (oh God this reminds me of my family trips in the past)
15:00 - weird dream in the car
15:16 - "who would want to eat you little brother?" (robotic)
16 - I have to throw up by this homeless man holding a sign.
16:15 - oh apparently it is his dead Grandfather.
16:39 - nope, just a homeless dude he imagined as his Grandfather. A creepy one at that.
17:09 - wow this is a clean movie. Your girlfriend just flicked you off. Prolly shouldn't have followed her with your friends in a motorhome. Wow that guy is really short.
17:48 - there's no one here, that's normal because this is a farming community.
18:05 - the son is really whiny. shut up. that's right mother, you tell him. don't listen to your son.
18:10 - why are you calling your husband "father Waits"
18:35 - yep, the mother is wearing mom jeans.
19:45 - are they switching houses?
19:55 - yeah, keep telling them every little thing that's in your house before they leave. They don't care.
20:28 - The dad looks so happy to be in here.
20:57 - Creepy Grandpa is at the door. Don't let him in.
21:15 - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T LET THEM EAT!
21:40 - "You have 30 seconds to come up with some way to stop them [from eating]." Kid procedes to stand there. He has no idea what he's doing. Grandpa is creepy and can stop time.
22:44 - While time is stopped,
23:00 - Did the little boy just whip out his penis and pee all over the food?
23:07 - Don't spank him! Please don't spank him! (
23:32 - "Did you see this writing? Do you know what it means? Hospitality! And you can't piss on hospitality! I WON'T ALLOW IT!"
23:50 - Hunger strike? Well I'll accept the challenge. When I was your age, I really did suffer from hunger. And I made it through it. So we'll see who makes it through this, but just remember, I have more practice than you. (Caleb: wow, way to one up your child)
24:19 - creepy photos on the wall
24:30 - creepy short shorts on guys.
24:47 - What in the world are they watching
24:50 - if you find twins, don't be greedy... (yeah like the nerd is gonna get laid)
25:20 - YEAH AWESOME MUSIC
25:40 - we all know how this story ends
25:52 - Why the hell did that boy tackle the girl? and then rub her boob?
26:00 - I'm human? Want to see? (yeah whip it out!....no.)
26:27 - wow, even the guy in this movie who first encounters the trolls knows they're fake. Just walks right up to them.
26:37 - Those are the most horrible costumes I've ever seen!
26:54 - let me give you some advice you dwarves (but you're as short as them...) get out of here or you're going to be in a lot of trouble! (yeah cause honestly they're afraid of you...sure...)
27:00 - yeah just got stabbed with a javelin before he could finish the sentence!
27:22 - were those guys just laying on each other? if they're so homophobic, why are they laying so close to each other?
28:00 - I'm pretty sure that that sound was the eagle from the Colbert Report.
28:22 - Hmmm...this house seems pretty legit. And look, there's a bed with satin sheets to make love on.
28:42 - THIS IS MY HOUSE! - weird old woman up the stairs (the librarian from hell according to Caleb)
29:11 - She seems legit. Does she have braces or gross teeth...can't really tell...
29:33 - she is also taking too long to talk. I have a feeling that this movie is so long because of how slow people talk and how many times they restate things.
29:59 - and how slow they walk.
30:24 - This woman's eyes look HUGE.
30:46 - yeah you probably shouldn't drink things strangers give you.
30:58 - gross puking up green stuff. And now she has to walk off stage in order to have the transformation.
31:23 - IT'S A TRAP!!!! I wouldn't drink a green drink that is now coming out of that girl.
31:48 - "What's happening to her? And why can't I move? There must be a logical reason for all of this." - said very slowly in a dull voice. Doesn't sound like he's scared or having any emotional reaction at all
32:02 - She's changing! (still doesn't seem scared)
32:20 - gooey green stuff. this does not look real.
32:52 - I would probably have left by now.
33:00 - They're eating her And then they're going to eat me. OH MY GODDDDD!!!
33:22 - Whiny little kid again.
33:37 - being in an "Aries" nightgown with Garfield on it does not make you attractive. Why are you talking to a mirror?
34:26 - creepy Grandfather pops into the girl's room and says "Joshua...Joshua..." uhhh wrong room.
34:50 - weird.
35:30 - Are you still smoking dope Holly?
36:30 - creepy Grandpa pops back up and says "I still have to learn the layout of this house" cause he tried to talk to the boy but really talked to his sister.
36:40 - the reason why the Grandfather ghost doesn't talk to the parents is because the mom doesn't listen to him so "that's why she married that good-for-nothing". Wow, way to call your Grandson's father a dick. He would not have been born if it weren't for him.
37:20 - Only you can do something G
37:36 - Seriously, you are homo because you're sleeping in the same bed.
38:00 - Gotta warm up for this walk.
38:30 - Wow, they didn't leave any food...maybe because you should've brought it your damn selves.
39:25 - This kid looks suspicious...in short shorts so he must be gay. I better pick him up in my car.
39:50 - Yeah just get in the car of a guy you've never met.
39:55 - I'm sheriff Gene Freak. Yeah prolly a freak.
40:37 - Yeah they're nice to strangers cause they have to feed them to the trolls. Seriously, no one thought visiting a town with 20 people in it was weird.
41:00 - Way to ask a question and then shut the door as he was answering.
41:20 - Creepy men standing around. No wonder there are no women.
41:42 - None of the milk is refrigerated. Gross.
41:54 - There's no coffee here in this town, it's the DEVIL'S DRINK!
42:37 - I would not drink free unrefrigerated milk.
43:00 - I'm not walking straight...but nothing's wrong.
45:30 - ZOOOOOOOOOM
45:56 - NILBOG, it's GOBLIN spelled backwards! This is their kingdom!!!
46:14 - Seriously, no one noticed their friend was gone, just thought he was getting laid. He's such an ugly nerd so how would that ever happen.
47:00 - Way to pop in and surprise your neighbors.
47:36 - ZOOOOOM again on FACEEEEEE
47:50 - Way to fall asleep reading a vegetable cooking book when you should be paying attention to your young son.
50:27 - Way to grab the kid's face.
51:17 - Way to have your shirt unbuttoned coming out of the camper. I'm pretty sure you were having gay sex.
51:25 - HECK YEAH the girl just clocked him! She's definitely stronger than her boyfriend. What a wuss, she is more of a man than he is.
52 something - Way to shove icecream into the boy's mouth.
53 something - DAD TO THE RESCUE!
54:30 - Wowwww nice van.
54:45 - Way to talk to the boys and scare them...not really...
56:25 - I'm pretty sure yelling to your friend when he's out of his mind and you can barely talk won't work well... He's prolly like "I'm trippin' balls".
57:35 - Kid still does not seem scared at all.
57:46 - If this kid can barely walk, how is he even dragging his friend out the door.
58:03 - This is taking forever.
58:27 - Wow that bitch slap was effective...flung him into the bed. Must be raping time!
59:19 - Very unconvincing chainsaw. Doesn't move half the time and really does not make real chainsaw sounds.
59:35 - Why is he laughing while he's getting chainsawed?
1 hr - yeahhhhhh let's throw a surprise party in your house.
1:00:45 - "Elliot's part of the family now." Yeah cause he just showed up finally even though you had a huge fight and he really didn't want to come and your dad hates him...
1:01 something - Kid just ditches his family even though they're gonna eat the green stuff. Way to care anymore.
1:01:54 - apparently the mirror where Grandpa used to come out is a trap too.
1:02:45 - Wow, they cannot even clap to the beat...
1:03:02 - Apparently Grandpa's ghost can come out and cut off a goblin's hand and it looks like clay.
1:03:25 - "We must move quickly to put out the fire" "What fire?!" (exactly. There is no fire at this point.)
1:03:31 - Oh, the fire they're going to make...whatever. Pyro Grandpa.
1:04:20 - THAT IS ENOUGH!
1:04:41 - Apparently Grandpa isn't a ghost anymore and can FINALLY help out? Why didn't he just step in before? Jerk.
1:05:08 - Wow it's taken the family about 10 minutes and they still haven't eaten yet. If I hadn't eaten for 2 days I would've dove in.
1:05:22 - "Hurry, let's put some fuel in the fire" (*face-palm*)
1:05:33 - Apparently the goblins can see the Grandfather.
1:05:46 - wow that was too easy.
1:06:01 - Oh no! I have to watch my Grandfather die again! Must be pretty damn traumatizing!
1:06:40 - "What happened?"
1:06:55 - Guy on fire is screaming the weirdest scream.
1:07:00 - Why the heck did my son set a guy on fire and not put it out with the fire extinguisher?!
1:07:33 - Goblin is revealed!
1:07:34 - "Oh my God, what is this?!"
1:07:56 - The crazy music lets us know that all of the villagers are gonna turn on them.
1:08:18 - The Goblin's scariest/best attack is just staring at the humans. Not actually fighting them.
1:08:39 - Wow...sorry son, you were right...
1:11:15 - Stupid boyfriend, help us!
1:11:20 - Grandpa's been the one helping us all this time!!
1:11:35 - Apparently a saiance (sp?) is gonna help bring him back from the dead.
1:12:06 - best sexy music ever.
1:12:41 - Awesome, I'm gonna listen to what the tv girl is saying.
1:13:13 - I can't wait to eat corn with this woman!
1:14:33 - This kid does not look turned on. Definitely gay.
1:14:55 - Worst seductive dance ever.
1:15:03 - kid has no idea what to do with the corn...
1:15:32 - yeah, sexiest scene ever.
1:15:35 - how the heck did popcorn pop from that?
1:15:48 - how did they get the candles to stand up on the table?
1:16:01 - Why do you rely on your Grandpa so much, man up and take care of your own problems?
1:16:42 - The goblins don't get why they aren't "showing any signs of life" inside the house...because they're being quiet. Also maybe you should just attack them while they're vulnerable.
1:18:13 - Child looks like he's stoned. Worst concentration face ever.
1:18:33 - So did the kid just turn into a goblin? errr what? did he get teleported? not sure what's going on. Does the Grandfather not care about the rest of his family, just the boy? Oh...wait, I think I he got tricked. Haha gullible boy!
1:21:23 - Tree rape from behind! (are we sure this isn't Evil Dead II?)
1:22:11 - Only take out the contents when you really need it (how about a while ago???)
1:23:50 - They have backed the humans into a corner but are just staring at them...okay...
1:23:51 - "We're all humans! Let's talk about this!" (ummm not really, they're goblins...)
1:24:45 - Wow the goblin's mouth barely moved when he talked...
1:25:00 - And now they just disappeared...
1:25:05 - Apparently Grandpa is leaving forever now. And child is whining about it. And only the power of good will kill the goblins. Really?! seriously?!
1:26:55 - A DOUBLE-DECKER BOLOGNA SANDWICH!!!!
1:27:10 - Apparently carnivore-ism is the only way to defeat them. And throwing the sandwich.
1:27:53 - Apparently the power of goodness comes out of a family touching a stone. And creates lightning. Lightning on a black background not actually hitting anything. And somehow the goblins are dying. I'm pretty sure killing things is not a power of goodness.
1:28:56 - dying = shaking on the floor and poofing out into smoke.
1:29:11 - Wow that was uneventful.
1:29:22 - okay, let's just drive home.
1:29:36 - I need to go home. For a while.
1:29:56 - apparently the mother is not at all shocked. and just gonna eat an apple.
1:31:07 - creepy noises coming through the closet or other room at home.
1:31:43 - Who leaves the bathroom door open while taking a shower.
1:31:57 - I love how the first thing they do when they get home is go into different rooms.
1:32:20 - Apparently goblins like to write messages on balls and cakes and things. And they followed the family home and ate his mom while she was in the shower.
1:33:03 - "They took my mom!!!"
1:33:31 - "Do you want some Joshua?" (of his mom)
1:33:46 - End the movie with the boy screaming
So apparently they were thinking there was gonna be a third???
God no.
Alright, time to finish "Best Worst Movie"...
So apparently the director thinks it's a great movie and goes into all the deep details but the writer states that all she did was replace vampires with vegetarians in the movie, because all of her friends became vegetarians and she hated it. Wow.
What is this guy doing comparing Troll 2 to Harry Potter?!?!
Also while watching the movie, you could tell that the music was done on a keyboard but in the "Best Worst Movie" it shows it being done.
Oh God do not bring the director to America to see that the only reason his movie has "recent success" is because his movie was so bad that everyone wants to see it and laugh. Ugh. And now the actor has to lie to him and acts like it was a great movie. And he doesn't get how the crowd is laughing about it when they say it's "awesome". Oh God they're all going to laugh at the movie during serious parts and the director isn't going to get it.
Okay I can't blog about this anymore, it's just too much to write. And just so awkward.
0:00 - Intro with trolls
3:50 - Foreshadowing
4:00 - Started leaking green food coloring
4:26 - Do they really eat people?
5:00 - Apparently the Grandpa who was in the rocking chair is really dead. For like 6 months. Disappears.
5:40 - Wow, she really had to say out loud "me, his daughter" like I couldn't figure that out.
6:07 - The pacing is so slow.
6:15 - I really don't think you needed to say goodnight twice.
6:30 - yeah pump that iron and flash epic posters of horses
6:50 - Do you need all of those things on your work-out suit?
7:20 - Awkward open shirt dad.
7:34 - If there are only 20 people in the town, it's probably a creeper.
7:40 - Nobody wants to live like our ancestors, that's why we don't anymore.
7:56 - "when I was a kid, I had a playmate too" "but it wasn't your dead Grandfather" AWESOME
8:00-ish - "Who are the goblins?" "THE GOBLINS?!"
8:50 - The goblins are probably in your closet
9:10 - No, do not disgrace the Pistons in this movie by putting a banner of theirs in the little boy's room.
9:30 - Wow, what creepers, sneaking in on the child while he's sleeping, then on the girl while she's pumping iron.
9:57 - You're a victim of a nocturnal rapture
10:00 - release your instincts in the bathroom" "what do you want me to turn into a homo?"
10:38 - "my dad could eat your nuts"
10:50 - "What's wrong with having friends?" "Nothing if you want to be a virgin. You bring them to sleep with you, and I don't believe in group sex" ....whaaat?
11:00 - Then after calling the boy a homo who loves his friends, you want him to be your boyfriend and invite him on vacation. Then a little bit later he forgets to show up.
12:46 - "sing that song I like so much" "Row, row, row your boat" (oh God this reminds me of my family trips in the past)
15:00 - weird dream in the car
15:16 - "who would want to eat you little brother?" (robotic)
16 - I have to throw up by this homeless man holding a sign.
16:15 - oh apparently it is his dead Grandfather.
16:39 - nope, just a homeless dude he imagined as his Grandfather. A creepy one at that.
17:09 - wow this is a clean movie. Your girlfriend just flicked you off. Prolly shouldn't have followed her with your friends in a motorhome. Wow that guy is really short.
17:48 - there's no one here, that's normal because this is a farming community.
18:05 - the son is really whiny. shut up. that's right mother, you tell him. don't listen to your son.
18:10 - why are you calling your husband "father Waits"
18:35 - yep, the mother is wearing mom jeans.
19:45 - are they switching houses?
19:55 - yeah, keep telling them every little thing that's in your house before they leave. They don't care.
20:28 - The dad looks so happy to be in here.
20:57 - Creepy Grandpa is at the door. Don't let him in.
21:15 - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T LET THEM EAT!
21:40 - "You have 30 seconds to come up with some way to stop them [from eating]." Kid procedes to stand there. He has no idea what he's doing. Grandpa is creepy and can stop time.
22:44 - While time is stopped,
23:00 - Did the little boy just whip out his penis and pee all over the food?
23:07 - Don't spank him! Please don't spank him! (
23:32 - "Did you see this writing? Do you know what it means? Hospitality! And you can't piss on hospitality! I WON'T ALLOW IT!"
23:50 - Hunger strike? Well I'll accept the challenge. When I was your age, I really did suffer from hunger. And I made it through it. So we'll see who makes it through this, but just remember, I have more practice than you. (Caleb: wow, way to one up your child)
24:19 - creepy photos on the wall
24:30 - creepy short shorts on guys.
24:47 - What in the world are they watching
24:50 - if you find twins, don't be greedy... (yeah like the nerd is gonna get laid)
25:20 - YEAH AWESOME MUSIC
25:40 - we all know how this story ends
25:52 - Why the hell did that boy tackle the girl? and then rub her boob?
26:00 - I'm human? Want to see? (yeah whip it out!....no.)
26:27 - wow, even the guy in this movie who first encounters the trolls knows they're fake. Just walks right up to them.
26:37 - Those are the most horrible costumes I've ever seen!
26:54 - let me give you some advice you dwarves (but you're as short as them...) get out of here or you're going to be in a lot of trouble! (yeah cause honestly they're afraid of you...sure...)
27:00 - yeah just got stabbed with a javelin before he could finish the sentence!
27:22 - were those guys just laying on each other? if they're so homophobic, why are they laying so close to each other?
28:00 - I'm pretty sure that that sound was the eagle from the Colbert Report.
28:22 - Hmmm...this house seems pretty legit. And look, there's a bed with satin sheets to make love on.
28:42 - THIS IS MY HOUSE! - weird old woman up the stairs (the librarian from hell according to Caleb)
29:11 - She seems legit. Does she have braces or gross teeth...can't really tell...
29:33 - she is also taking too long to talk. I have a feeling that this movie is so long because of how slow people talk and how many times they restate things.
29:59 - and how slow they walk.
30:24 - This woman's eyes look HUGE.
30:46 - yeah you probably shouldn't drink things strangers give you.
30:58 - gross puking up green stuff. And now she has to walk off stage in order to have the transformation.
31:23 - IT'S A TRAP!!!! I wouldn't drink a green drink that is now coming out of that girl.
31:48 - "What's happening to her? And why can't I move? There must be a logical reason for all of this." - said very slowly in a dull voice. Doesn't sound like he's scared or having any emotional reaction at all
32:02 - She's changing! (still doesn't seem scared)
32:20 - gooey green stuff. this does not look real.
32:52 - I would probably have left by now.
33:00 - They're eating her And then they're going to eat me. OH MY GODDDDD!!!
33:22 - Whiny little kid again.
33:37 - being in an "Aries" nightgown with Garfield on it does not make you attractive. Why are you talking to a mirror?
34:26 - creepy Grandfather pops into the girl's room and says "Joshua...Joshua..." uhhh wrong room.
34:50 - weird.
35:30 - Are you still smoking dope Holly?
36:30 - creepy Grandpa pops back up and says "I still have to learn the layout of this house" cause he tried to talk to the boy but really talked to his sister.
36:40 - the reason why the Grandfather ghost doesn't talk to the parents is because the mom doesn't listen to him so "that's why she married that good-for-nothing". Wow, way to call your Grandson's father a dick. He would not have been born if it weren't for him.
37:20 - Only you can do something G
37:36 - Seriously, you are homo because you're sleeping in the same bed.
38:00 - Gotta warm up for this walk.
38:30 - Wow, they didn't leave any food...maybe because you should've brought it your damn selves.
39:25 - This kid looks suspicious...in short shorts so he must be gay. I better pick him up in my car.
39:50 - Yeah just get in the car of a guy you've never met.
39:55 - I'm sheriff Gene Freak. Yeah prolly a freak.
40:37 - Yeah they're nice to strangers cause they have to feed them to the trolls. Seriously, no one thought visiting a town with 20 people in it was weird.
41:00 - Way to ask a question and then shut the door as he was answering.
41:20 - Creepy men standing around. No wonder there are no women.
41:42 - None of the milk is refrigerated. Gross.
41:54 - There's no coffee here in this town, it's the DEVIL'S DRINK!
42:37 - I would not drink free unrefrigerated milk.
43:00 - I'm not walking straight...but nothing's wrong.
45:30 - ZOOOOOOOOOM
45:56 - NILBOG, it's GOBLIN spelled backwards! This is their kingdom!!!
46:14 - Seriously, no one noticed their friend was gone, just thought he was getting laid. He's such an ugly nerd so how would that ever happen.

47:50 - Way to fall asleep reading a vegetable cooking book when you should be paying attention to your young son.
50:27 - Way to grab the kid's face.
51:17 - Way to have your shirt unbuttoned coming out of the camper. I'm pretty sure you were having gay sex.

53 something - DAD TO THE RESCUE!
54:30 - Wowwww nice van.
54:45 - Way to talk to the boys and scare them...not really...
56:25 - I'm pretty sure yelling to your friend when he's out of his mind and you can barely talk won't work well... He's prolly like "I'm trippin' balls".
57:35 - Kid still does not seem scared at all.
57:46 - If this kid can barely walk, how is he even dragging his friend out the door.
58:03 - This is taking forever.
58:27 - Wow that bitch slap was effective...flung him into the bed. Must be raping time!
59:19 - Very unconvincing chainsaw. Doesn't move half the time and really does not make real chainsaw sounds.
59:35 - Why is he laughing while he's getting chainsawed?
1 hr - yeahhhhhh let's throw a surprise party in your house.
1:00:45 - "Elliot's part of the family now." Yeah cause he just showed up finally even though you had a huge fight and he really didn't want to come and your dad hates him...
1:01 something - Kid just ditches his family even though they're gonna eat the green stuff. Way to care anymore.
1:01:54 - apparently the mirror where Grandpa used to come out is a trap too.
1:02:45 - Wow, they cannot even clap to the beat...
1:03:02 - Apparently Grandpa's ghost can come out and cut off a goblin's hand and it looks like clay.
1:03:25 - "We must move quickly to put out the fire" "What fire?!" (exactly. There is no fire at this point.)
1:03:31 - Oh, the fire they're going to make...whatever. Pyro Grandpa.
1:04:20 - THAT IS ENOUGH!
1:04:41 - Apparently Grandpa isn't a ghost anymore and can FINALLY help out? Why didn't he just step in before? Jerk.
1:05:08 - Wow it's taken the family about 10 minutes and they still haven't eaten yet. If I hadn't eaten for 2 days I would've dove in.
1:05:22 - "Hurry, let's put some fuel in the fire" (*face-palm*)
1:05:33 - Apparently the goblins can see the Grandfather.
1:05:46 - wow that was too easy.
1:06:01 - Oh no! I have to watch my Grandfather die again! Must be pretty damn traumatizing!
1:06:40 - "What happened?"
1:06:55 - Guy on fire is screaming the weirdest scream.
1:07:00 - Why the heck did my son set a guy on fire and not put it out with the fire extinguisher?!
1:07:33 - Goblin is revealed!
1:07:34 - "Oh my God, what is this?!"
1:07:56 - The crazy music lets us know that all of the villagers are gonna turn on them.
1:08:18 - The Goblin's scariest/best attack is just staring at the humans. Not actually fighting them.
1:08:39 - Wow...sorry son, you were right...
1:11:15 - Stupid boyfriend, help us!
1:11:20 - Grandpa's been the one helping us all this time!!
1:11:35 - Apparently a saiance (sp?) is gonna help bring him back from the dead.
1:12:06 - best sexy music ever.
1:12:41 - Awesome, I'm gonna listen to what the tv girl is saying.
1:13:13 - I can't wait to eat corn with this woman!
1:14:33 - This kid does not look turned on. Definitely gay.
1:14:55 - Worst seductive dance ever.
1:15:03 - kid has no idea what to do with the corn...
1:15:32 - yeah, sexiest scene ever.
1:15:35 - how the heck did popcorn pop from that?
1:15:48 - how did they get the candles to stand up on the table?
1:16:01 - Why do you rely on your Grandpa so much, man up and take care of your own problems?
1:16:42 - The goblins don't get why they aren't "showing any signs of life" inside the house...because they're being quiet. Also maybe you should just attack them while they're vulnerable.
1:18:13 - Child looks like he's stoned. Worst concentration face ever.
1:18:33 - So did the kid just turn into a goblin? errr what? did he get teleported? not sure what's going on. Does the Grandfather not care about the rest of his family, just the boy? Oh...wait, I think I he got tricked. Haha gullible boy!
1:21:23 - Tree rape from behind! (are we sure this isn't Evil Dead II?)
1:22:11 - Only take out the contents when you really need it (how about a while ago???)
1:23:50 - They have backed the humans into a corner but are just staring at them...okay...
1:23:51 - "We're all humans! Let's talk about this!" (ummm not really, they're goblins...)
1:24:45 - Wow the goblin's mouth barely moved when he talked...
1:25:00 - And now they just disappeared...
1:25:05 - Apparently Grandpa is leaving forever now. And child is whining about it. And only the power of good will kill the goblins. Really?! seriously?!
1:26:55 - A DOUBLE-DECKER BOLOGNA SANDWICH!!!!
1:27:10 - Apparently carnivore-ism is the only way to defeat them. And throwing the sandwich.
1:27:53 - Apparently the power of goodness comes out of a family touching a stone. And creates lightning. Lightning on a black background not actually hitting anything. And somehow the goblins are dying. I'm pretty sure killing things is not a power of goodness.
1:28:56 - dying = shaking on the floor and poofing out into smoke.
1:29:11 - Wow that was uneventful.
1:29:22 - okay, let's just drive home.
1:29:36 - I need to go home. For a while.
1:29:56 - apparently the mother is not at all shocked. and just gonna eat an apple.
1:31:07 - creepy noises coming through the closet or other room at home.
1:31:43 - Who leaves the bathroom door open while taking a shower.
1:31:57 - I love how the first thing they do when they get home is go into different rooms.
1:32:20 - Apparently goblins like to write messages on balls and cakes and things. And they followed the family home and ate his mom while she was in the shower.
1:33:03 - "They took my mom!!!"
1:33:31 - "Do you want some Joshua?" (of his mom)
1:33:46 - End the movie with the boy screaming
So apparently they were thinking there was gonna be a third???
God no.
Alright, time to finish "Best Worst Movie"...
So apparently the director thinks it's a great movie and goes into all the deep details but the writer states that all she did was replace vampires with vegetarians in the movie, because all of her friends became vegetarians and she hated it. Wow.
What is this guy doing comparing Troll 2 to Harry Potter?!?!
Also while watching the movie, you could tell that the music was done on a keyboard but in the "Best Worst Movie" it shows it being done.
Oh God do not bring the director to America to see that the only reason his movie has "recent success" is because his movie was so bad that everyone wants to see it and laugh. Ugh. And now the actor has to lie to him and acts like it was a great movie. And he doesn't get how the crowd is laughing about it when they say it's "awesome". Oh God they're all going to laugh at the movie during serious parts and the director isn't going to get it.
Okay I can't blog about this anymore, it's just too much to write. And just so awkward.

I Might Just Turn This Movie Off
I don't care how many damn Academy Awards this movie has, I don't think I can sit through another minute of Moonstruck.
The dialogue makes me want to puke, the story make me laugh and bring a palm to my face, and it is as boring as shit.
Why is this movie supposed to be good?

Sorry Natalie Portman Fans
Natalie Portman is not only engaged but she is pregnant. The Associated Press reported this morning that she is engaged to Benjamin Millepied, the choreographer from her latest film "Black Swan".
If you want a couple of movies to stare at her during before you kiss her goodbye, go check out "Black Swan", which is in theaters now, or her upcoming movie "No Strings Attached".

Eclipse
Whyyy oh whyyyy did I watch this movie?
Oh yeah, because my friends and I have made fun of the previous two while drunk. It's sad that this one is the first one that I have made it all of the way through.
Once again, there was a bunch of making out, everyone trying to protect this boring girl, a love triangle, stalking, and all of the action at the end. As my friend said, "I have sat through all three of the Twilight movies and I still don't get why people like them."
I really don't have much else to say because it's the exact same boring old shit. Unless you are really into the Twilight books/movies, don't even bother. Such a waste of time.

NaNoWriMo Fail
Obviously I did not make even half of the word count needed for NaNoWriMo in this blog. Or update much in regards to movie reviews. I did start to write an entry about Tangled, but then got distracted.
The good news is that I have been working with my boyfriend on a new website for my blog. It will actually have a URL rather than being at blogger/blogspot. It will also look much nicer than just a curtain backdrop. I have no idea when this will happen, but probably in the next two months (I hope). Until then, Christmas Break is coming up in school (yay!) so I should have plenty of time to watch more movies and actually post about them. Especially since I want to see Tron, the third Narnia movie, and The Tourist; and I have half-off at Family Video for the next month.
Right now, I have been watching Lie to Me: Season 2, Sons of Anarchy: Season 2, and Burn Notice: Seasons 1 and 2. Definitely a television show kick going on right now.

NBC WHYYYY
Lately due to having a full time job, I tend to fall asleep at 9:30/10 pm. That used to be right in the middle of Outsourced, which I didn't mind missing. It's not as great as I thought it might be.
However, starting January 20th, NBC is changing the times of its Thursday nigh shows, just in time for my birthday. But it's not a present that I want. They're adding two new shows (well, one which used to be on NBC and one new). This means that I will not be able to watch my original three shows in a row (Community, The Office, and 30 Rock). Here is what NBC Thursday nights will now look like:
8-8:30 p.m. Community
8:30-9 p.m. Perfect Couples
9-9:30 p.m. The Office
9:30-10 p.m. Parks and Recreation
10-10:30 p.m. 30 Rock
10:30-11 p.m. Outsourced
First of all, I was happy when Parks and Recreation was canceled. That show was trying to use The Office's formula by having a camera crew follow around people in an office, performing similar jokes, and having awkward office moments. Not as funny. Obviously NBC thought they could rectify this series after pulling it off the air for a while. Well, think about this NBC, the entire first season of Parks and Recreation can be rented at Family Video for 50 cents while most other television series are rented for $3 (older releases) or $1 a disc. If you have Netflix, Parks and Recreation can be viewed on Instant Queue Also, I can buy Parks and Recreation for about $10 at Walmart, if I really wanted. Which I don't want to. Ever.
Second, now that 30 Rock has been pushed back to 10 pm, I have to choose between 30 Rock and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia on FX at 10 pm. At this point in time, It's Always Sunny is not on Hulu except for the first three episodes. However, starting on December 20th, Hulu will upload one episode a week. I don't know if they'll upload them the day after or wait a week. Until I find that out, I will probably choose It's Always Sunny to watch. If they upload episodes the day after, then I would probably stick with NBC.
However, lately I've been falling asleep by 9:30 (I'm so old...not really), so I probably won't even make it to either of those shows, which is unfortunate. Luckily Hulu is available.

Gwyneth Paltrow - Singer?
Gwyneth Paltrow was on Glee last night as a special guest. She played a substitute teacher for the Glee club while Matthew Morrison (Mr. Schuester) was out sick. Just like Mr. Schuester, she had to play a part in many of the students' songs. Now, I knew Gwyneth was a great actress, but I did not know she could sing. Frankly, I didn't think she was all that great. Her voice also did not mesh well with the other actors, especially Rachel's. Gwyneth wasn't the best dancer either, especially in the Chicago piece.
So why was she singing? My mother was able to point out that Gwyneth was promoting her new movie, "Country Strong", where she plays a country singer. I hope she sings a lot better in the movie than she did on Glee. It is going to be hard for me to see that movie anyway because I don't like country music.
I have been watching a lot of television lately but I have not seen the trailer for this movie (and it is scheduled to come out in a couple of months). However, I guess there was an article in the local paper promoting the movie. In addition, earlier, I was sitting at Arby's and I saw an advertisement for the movie. Apparently if you get a small beverage, you have a chance to win a trip to the "Country Strong" movie premiere and to meet a lead cast member (probably not Gwyneth), free music downloads from the soundtrack, or autographed movie memorabilia.
Now, we could get lucky and she could be a great singer like Nicole Kidman (in my opinion) in Moulin Rouge or terrible like Lindsey Lohan in a Prairie Home Companion. Hopefully she is a decent singer, otherwise it will wreck the movie. Not knowing what the plot of the movie is yet, it may already be ruined. I guess we'll find out.

Pre Black Friday/Black Friday/Cyber Monday Kill My Bank Account
Every Black Friday I end up buying most of my Christmas gifts. Unfortunately I can't stop myself from buying discounted items for myself.
The first year that I participated in Black Friday, I got up early with my father to go to Circuit City (when it was still open). There was a huge line outside of it. I went to buy Christmas gifts for my friends/family and I ended up buying one gift for my brother and $100 worth of gifts for me. I bought a bunch of dvds and Guitar Hero for the PS2.
Definitely was not worth standing in the cold. A Christian group was giving out hot chocolate, but it still was not worth it. So from then on, I set an alarm and put my laptop next to my bed so that I could just buy items and go back to sleep.
Every Black Friday I tend to buy seasons of The Office. It is one of my favorite television shows, but it is also very expensive when it is not on sale. Often on Black Friday, it sells multiple places for $12.99. In fact, this year Season 6 is on sale at Target for $12.99.
Problem is, my family always wants me to make a Christmas list with items that I want before the holidays. I try to hold off as long as I can because I always end up buying things on the list.
This year, I'm looking at The Office (of course), 500 Days of Summer, 30 Rock Season 4, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Pushing Daisies Season 2, Party Down Season 2, How I Met Your Mother Season 5, The Proposal, Toy Story 3, Californication Seasons 1-3, Weeds Seasons 1-5, Chuck Seasons 1-3, annd Castle Seasons 1-2. I won't buy all of them cause I'd go bankrupt, but if I can get some good deals on some of those tv series/dvds, I will be happy. I am also looking to get a television that is bigger than mine so that I can have better movie nights (ones where my friends can see the tv).

Why Do People Go See Bad Movies?
Why in the hell do people see a movie trailer for a bad movie, and think that it is going to be good? Then they come out of the theater wanting their money back or complaining about the movie to their friends. How about this. Actually watch the trailer. Actually listen to the dialogue and watch the special effects. Think about what the plot is actually going to be. Look at who the directors/actors are. You will be less disappointed.
Now, I'm not going to say that I haven't been disappointed before by a movie before. One example was Where The Wild Things Are. I loved what the characters looked like and parts of the story but oh goodness I have never been so depressed after watching a movie as that one. It was just a downer. Wasn't the worst movie ever but I didn't leave happy.
Below is a list of people/directors/other things that I don't want to see in my movies. Usually I can tell by watching a trailer or looking up information on IMDB if I want to see a movie or not.
Actors/Actresses I don't like to see in movies:
- Zach Efron
- Kristen Stewart
- Miley Cyrus
- Jonas Brothers
- Nicholas Cage (sometimes)
- Keanu Reeves
- Larry the Cable Guy
- John Travolta
- Lindsey Lohan
- Steven Seagal
- Rob Schneider
- Eddie Murphy (recent movies)
- Sarah Jessica Parker
- Megan Fox
- The Wayans Brothers
- Jessica Simpson
- Britney Spears
- Brendan Fraser
- Kevin James
- Woody Allen
- Jerry Seinfeld
- Tyler Perry
Film Directors:
- M. Night Shyamalan (he did a couple good films but then sucked afterwards)
- Michael Bay
- Woody Allen (okay I don't care that he's considered a great director, I find his movies terribly boring, slow moving, annoying, and he is unbearable to watch as an actor)
- Tyler Perry
- Tony Scott (recent films)
Films Sequels:
- Any Disney Sequel (Disney/Pixar sequels such as Toy Story 3 are okay)
- Saw movies
- Scary Movie/Epic Movie/Dance Flick/etc
- Direct to dvd sequels
Other things to look out for:
- Only gross humor in the trailer
- Ridiculously fake special effects
- Too many explosions
- Showing probably all of the funny parts in the trailer
- Giving away important plot elements in the trailer
- Terribly unfunny one-liners
I know that I am going to think of many more once I publish this post, but at least I have the basics down.
Of course, everyone has different movie taste. Hollywood directors wouldn't make these movies if there wasn't a market for it. The best way to find out if you'll like a movie or not is to find a friend who has similar movie taste and ask them if they liked the movie and why. Or find a movie similar and compare ratings. Or go onto IMDB or Rotten Tomatoes and find the rating.

Winter Movies
During the Spring, Summer, and Fall, there aren't many seasonal movies that I watch. Winter is another story. When it's cold outside I like to curl up in a blanket with some popcorn and hot chocolate, and watch a good winter movie (okay, not always a 5 star movie). Winter season is coming up, and I am dreading it, but I am not dreading watching my winter movies. Here are some of the movies that I tend to watch when the weather is cold:
One movie that I watch during the winter is The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. Most of the movie takes place during the winter time. The scenery, costume design, characters, plot, and soundtrack. I listen to the soundtrack year-round but I love to watch the movie in the winter.
Another movie that I watch during the winter is Scamper the Penguin. It is not an amazing movie by any means but I used to watch it when I was a child. Definitely a movie made for little kids. Anyhow, it has these different colored penguins (pink and blue) and in the beginning the husbands watch the eggs while the mothers get the food. There are irresponsible parents who get their eggs snatched but Scamper survives. He ends up later on being a little adventurer who gets lost out at sea, picked up by bad humans, teaches his little girlfriend and other friend how to wish, gets mixed up with a different breed of penguins, and ends up making it home. Except this movie doesn't come with environmental propaganda like Happy Feet.
Speaking of Happy Feet, that's another movie I watch in the winter. It's adorable and all with singing, dancing, fluffy penguins and the odd one out gets the girl in the end. What I didn't like in the movie is how out of the blue it changes from a love story into an environmental movie right at the very end. Whatever. I still own it, but I would still love a version where politics isn't involved and the plot is better.
Of course you always have the classics like Miracle on 34th Street, It's A Wonderful Life, and A Christmas Story. To be honest, I am so sick of watching It's A Wonderful Life. It was always on television and on top of that my dad would watch it plenty on dvd. In regards to It's A Wonderful Life, I think we can all agree that the original was better, although I didn't like either of the little girl characters. And A Christmas Story, well, I haven't seen it. My dad owns it and it's been on television; I've even tried sitting down and watching it, but I can't seem to get past the fact that the kid looks creepy. I'll definitely try watching it this year though.
And who can forget animated Christmas/holiday movies like How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and Frosty the Snowman. Those will never get old for me. They always make me smile.
Some of my favorite holiday movies to watch are the holiday specials that aired on television. These include A Claymation Christmas, A Garfield Christmas, Charlie Brown Christmas, and A Muppet Family Christmas. I still have them all taped on VHS off of television (and they all still play miraculously with really old commercials). However, I bought the Garfield holiday specials on dvd (it has Halloween and Thanksgiving too) because that was my absolute favorite one.
Fargo is a another movie that is wintery; however it is on the darker side. Usually in the winter I like to watch happier movies, but I definitely have a think for black humor. It was directed by the Coen Brothers (who also did such amazing movies as Raising Arizona, The Ladykillers, No Country For Old Men, and The Big Lebowski). It won two Oscars, stars Steve Buscemi, William H. Macy, and Frances McDormand. I am not going to go into any more detail because this post is long enough, but if you like Coen Brothers films and haven't seen this one, or if you like any of those actors or like dark films, why are you still reading this post. Go rent this movie right now!
Whether you're into wintery movies with lots of snow about, movies with wintery music, Christmas movies, or you watch summer movies during winter, there's something for everyone. So grab your hot chocolate, a blanket, and popcorn, and pop in a good wintery movie!

It's Poster Time!
In every apartment that I have lived in, I have hung movie posters on the walls. Posters that I have collected from many years of working at a movie theater. In my current apartment, I have not hung any posters. One reason is because the walls look so wonderful without anything on them. I have a bay window and a cute round table which when the windows are open gorgeous light shines in on my walls. Another reason is that I have too many posters. The third reason is because I wanted poster frames so that my posters would not rip.
Yesterday I went to Michael's because all frames were 40% off. There was also a coupon for another 25% off on top of that. I was in luck when I found that they had poster frames. Previously, I could not find poster frames that were 27 by 40. Michael's definitely had a couple different brands but only one was on sale. 65% off was a pretty sweet deal!
Therefore, now that I have three new poster frames and one old one, I have to decide which posters out of my many to frame and which I want to put up on their own as I have in the past. I look forward to going through my posters again!

Movies I Could Watch Over and Over
I own a lot of movies. I cannot stop myself from buying ones that I can watch over and over again as well as those I want to share with my friends. Most movies that I watch over and over are animated. I don't know why, and I've said it before, but I am a sucker for animated films. Now, not all of these movies are exceptional 5 star movies, they are just amusing to me or make me happy. Not all of them are the best movies I own either. Here are the movies that I could watch over and over:

Review of NBC Universal Products I Have Bought
I recently purchased multiple items related to television shows from the NBC Universal store. The good thing is that when you sign up for an account, they give you 15% off your purchase. So I tried to find as many items as I could for Christmas gifts (okay and for myself).
One thing that I purchased was a sign that said "The Office" to put next to my desk. I spent about $10 on it with the discount. It was definitely not worth $10. The sign is pretty cool looking, like the logo for The Office, but it is not high quality. I don't know what it is made of, but it's definitely not as hard as plastic (which is what I was hoping it would be). I am afraid to bend it in any way. I still like it, but I definitely could've printed a picture of the logo and placed it on some cardboard it would've been similar to this sign.
Another purchase I made was a shot glass from The Office. It says Dunder Mifflin on the side. I spent $4.80 and it was definitely worth my money. I only buy nerdy shot glasses (like Domokun, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, etc) and this was definitely a must-have for me since I am a huge fan of The Office.
One other item that I bought from NBC Universal (when I was at Universal Studios in California, not online) was a stuffed animal from the movie "Despicable Me". I have a soft spot for animated films and cute stuffed animals. I don't have as many stuffed animals as I did when I was a child, but I have kept my favorite 10-20. When an animated film with a unique/cute character comes around, I sometimes cannot help myself. This was the case for Despicable Me's minions. I couldn't decide which one I wanted out of the three at the store. One had two eyes and a smile, another had two eyes and a half smile, and the third had one eye. I picked the one with one eye. It wasn't too expensive and was one of the few things I bought at Universal Studios. I brought it to work with me and it made the kids happy.

I Play Cash Cab
There aren't too many reality television shows that I like (although I'm starting to like more and more now-a-days (not the raunchy ones, but ones like Ace of Cakes and Pawn Stars). One show that I do like on The Discovery Channel is called Cash Cab.
Basically, people in New York City get into what they think is a normal taxi cab. They tell the driver, who is Ben Bailey, their destination. Then lights flash (and usually the passengers get confused or surprised) and they're told that they're on a television game show where they can earn money while they ride in the cab. The contestants answer questions the entire way. If they answer them right, they get money. If they answer three different questions wrong before they make their destination, they get kicked out wherever they are.
So I decided to try to play along with the contestants (I had to type really fast since they questions were presented quickly). Below is my real-time watching/playing the game:
3. "What 1995 film featured the adventures of a talking pig on a ___ farm?" - Babe (lucky guess)
4. Also known as the maid of Core Leon what warrior... shit this is definitely going too fast to type. (also I'm sure I spelled that name wrong)
Okay new episode, I'm gonna try again.
Two older women get in the cab and freak out because of the lights (oh God they're opera singers...STOP SINGING).
Do people ever say no they don't want to play this game? I mean it's a free ride/partial ride either way.
Featuring the Jets and the Sharks what musical features star crossed lovers - West Side Story
In the Gregorian Calendar, how often does a leap year occur - I have no idea...4? oh apparently we use that calendar. Trick question.
Once home of the Rams, what is the largest city that does not have a team in the NFL? - oh God no idea (I would've guessed wrong)
In grammar, present, past and future are all forms of what - tense
With no army, what egotourist economy is known as the Switzerland of Western America - whaaaaat? (second strike) (I would've called a friend or my dad on this one)
What kind of violent wind storm has a water spout when it hits land? - tsunami? (tornado was the answer)
I would've been kicked out with 21 blocks to go.
This goes to show you that I would definitely not earn money in the Cash Cab if I were alone. Chances are much higher when 2 or more people get into the Cash Cab. I definitely have a few friends in mind who I would bring with me or telephone if I were in the Cash Cab.

Red Wings
Hockey is my absolute favorite sport. I love going to at least one hockey game a year, but I definitely wouldn't mind going to tons more. The Red Wings is my absolute favorite team. One of the best moments of my life was going to a Red Wings game with my dad for my birthday and it ended up being a double or triple over time game (and then we won). Growing up, I did not have cable. Therefore, I did not get the chance to watch the Red Wings on tv. I definitely couldn't follow the team as much as I wanted to. But now I thankfully have cable and the Red Wings are on Fox Sports right now. They are winning (2 to 1) so far, which is awesome.

Californication Seasons 1-3
This show has been excellent, although it is hard for me to watch at times. It is a story about an alcoholic writer who has a child and on again/off again girlfriend who is the mother of his child (the love of his life). Yet he is also a playboy, getting sexually involved with nearly every girl he meets. This happens almost once an episode. He keeps trying throughout all of the seasons to win her back only to be found messing around with another woman and getting himself into predicaments (such as messing around with an underaged girl). His best friend is a chronic masturbator who watched porn at work and messes around with some of the staff (cheating on his coke addict wife) and gets fired from his job. All of these adults pretty much act like children (well, teenagers) causing the main character's daughter to take care of her parents. And her life gets pretty messed up as she has to deal with her parents, her own life, and her own tough decisions with drugs and sex. She has bad role models around.
The plot was excellent season after season as we try to see if any of these characters can clean up their acts and have normal lives/careers. The drama continues and becomes more involved and more complicated/deep each time. At the end of the third season is an episode which definitely tugged at me emotionally as as the main character was the closest to getting his girl (but he also got what he deserved all along).
The reason why this show is so hard for me to watch is because I am not good with the whole cheating thing. I had my heart broken once and it's hard to watch the characters have their hearts broken repeatedly and make mistakes. It's generally hard for me to watch movies/shows with cheating because I will tear up and get stomach sick and hate the character with every bit of me. But there is something that keeps me watching (it doesn't make me feel that what they did was okay, especially repeatedly). It's the emotion of the characters and construction of their beings that keeps me hooked.

Chuck Seasons 1-3
Chuck is a series which I had not heard of until the superbowl of 2009 when a 3D episode was aired. It didn't look like a show I'd be interested in until my father, brother, and current boyfriend all recommended it. My father owned the series, which made it easy to borrow. So I figured, why not? And then I was hooked. I watched two seasons in a week amongst other things.
The series begins with the main character Chuck, who works at a "Buy More" electronics store with his best friend. He also lives with his sister and sister's boyfriend. A CIA agent e-mails Chuck a significant amount of data which stores in his brain and causes him to "flash" (or see images from the file) on enemies of the CIA. A CIA agent finds him at the Buy More and along with her partner (squeeeeee Jayne from Firefly) trains him to become a CIA agent and use the power he has.
What's great about this series is the character development. Each character is so well developed with his or her mannerisms that change and grow throughout the series. The main character changes the most but the rest also change drastically by the third season. This is done over time as you get to know the characters and situations they've been placed in.
At first, one would think that with so many characters, this development would be complicated and hard to follow. But it's not. It is very well done. And since you are seeing Chuck's day to day life as himself mixed with his spy work, you really feel for all of the characters and the things they have to go through. Plus, there is a lot of back story. The other good thing about Chuck is that they don't just throw everything at you at once. They hold little pieces of information, secrets, form the viewer which make the series more interesting each time.
In addition, the sets and locations used are great. There was a lot of thought and detail placed into each setting used. It makes you feel like you are actually watching it happen/it's believable rather than being detached from it. The Buy More has all the products similar to what a Best Buy has and layout (as well as the "Nerd Herd" cars like Best Buy's "Geek Squad") and the underground base is unbelieveable as well. This is definitely a show I look forward to continuing to watch.

The Jetson's Movie
Watching this movie many years after seeing the show did not feel as nostalgic as I wanted it to. I enjoyed the characters for the most part, but they shoudl've just called the movie "George's New Job" or "Judy Continues to Have Good Luck Laying Rock Stars" because those were pretty much the only two characters who had anything to do with shit (well, I guess Elroy helped at the end and was an annoying little bitch throughout). George gets an executive position to push a button at a Spacely Sprockett plant on another planet/planetary system causing his family to relocate nearby a bunch of stupid weirdo space creatures. Judy, who falls "in love" (and is an annoying bitch) with a rockstar in her hometown after only meeting him for a second (Twilight of the future?) and getting asked out on a date is devastated. That is until a new rockstar asks her out and she is "in love" with him (and he's a creepy looking blue guy (Avatar?)). There's trouble at the space plant because these stupid cute fuzzy monsters are tearing it apart. I don't remember the show having this lame of a plot (other than Judy getting continuously hit on, even buy another rockstar in "The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones") and George being bad at his easy job). The whole part of the fuzzy monsters just turned me off of the movie in the end. Just not worth it.

My So-Called Life
My friend Jamie is not only the Master of the Internet, but he has impeccable taste in movies, television series, and anime (oh and of course video games). He has given me many recommendations and I have liked them all. My So-Called Life was no different, only that when we first watched three episodes of the series during my sophomore year of college together, I had a heard time watching it. Three episodes in, I was an emotional wreck and stopped watching it. Three years later, I saw the box set of the series sitting on my dad's dvd bookshelf. I was so busy with graduate school and work that I put it aside for another year. Finally, I realized it was also on hulu.com and decided to start watching it.
I agonized over the plots and troubles that the teenagers had to go through. Things that I thankfully never had to go through. Drinking, drugs, guns, parents thinking about cheating, a guy wanting to use a girl form homework/sex, homelessness, etc. It was an intense series which only lasted one season. It was a little too early for its time, but the episodes had excellent acting/scripts/plots. The only nit-picky thing that annoyed me about the series was the use of stock sounds (door creaking open, glass breaking, etc), but what are you gonna do?

Toy Story 3
Review:
When I was younger and saw the trailer for the original Toy Story, I was freaked out. It wasn't at the part of toys being alive. It was which toys were alive. A creepy baby doll head missing an eye with creepy hairs coming out of its bald head and a pair of legs on a fishing pole with no head/arms/body scared the crap out of me. Nightmares. But I went to see it anyway because it was what all the other students were talking about. It turned out to be an excellent movie which probably made me love my toys/stuffed animals even more. I didn't take as much of a liking to the sequel, but at least it was a Pixar sequel with a legit storyline instead of a terrible movie altering Disney sequel (I'm looking at you Lion King 1 1/2, Cinderella 3, and The Little Mermaid 3).
Before the third movie, Disney/Pixar did the best thing ever: re-released the first two movies as a double feature in 3D so that all of us could have a bit of nostalgia and get the younger generations caught up with what we saw. Of course I went and got all of the collectible cups and lids (for free because I still worked at the theater) with blue slushie.
When Toy Story 3 came out after seeing the first two again, I was more excited. It went above and beyond the hype. There is a reason that this movie has a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. The story revolves around the main character (Andy) attending college and going through his toys to see which he wanted to keep and which to donate or trash. His favorite toys accidentally get donated to a day care center. They go on an adventure and run into toys that are not as nice. The soundtrack, dialogue, and plot are enough to break your heart. Toy Story closed with a scene a little close to my heart and caught all of our inner children's hearts. When I was packing to move into a new apartment, I had a hard time parting with anything after seeing that movie.

The Maiden Heist
Review:
I saw this movie on the shelf at Blockbuster and it stood out right waway. Red and blue case, Morgan Freeman, Christopher Walken and William H. Macy, three of my favorite actors staring up at me. I had no idea what this movie was about. So I didn't want to spend $5 on it. So I waited a few months and went to Family Video to rent it for 50 cents. First thing I heard was a song that sounded like "Creep" (an instrumental version). The movie is about three security guards who find out that the paintings/statues (maidens) which they had been guarding for years were being moved to another museum in another country. So, being practically in love with these works of art, they devise a plan to work during the move and exchange the art pieces. The plot was interesting but it wasn't entertaining enough to earn 5 stars. Also, if I had ten cents for every time the "door opening" sound effect was used, I would be rich. However, if you'd like a good look at William H. Macy's ass twice and him molesting a statue, this is the movie for you!

Twilight/New Moon Double Review
To be honest, I cannot fully review these movies. I watched each drunk because it was the only way that I could sit through them.
Before I watched any of the movies, my old roommate left me her copy of the first book at my apartment. I didn't want to read it. Then when she came back to visit 6 months later, she was going to quiz me on it (okay maybe not "quiz" but ask me how I liked it). I read it the night before she came and I wish I were drunk for that too. I would review the book but there are much better reviews out there that say the same thing I would say. As far as the first movie went, it was painstakingly like the book with terrible dialogue, terrible acting (Kristen Stewart, I'm looking at you), and a terrible plot of a girl who obsessed over a stalker who she has only seen across the table once. By stalker I mean watching you sleep, coming in your window, knowing where you are at all times, etc. My ex and I went to the movie drunk ($1 movie night at our college) and got asked to leave before any action happened (like 75% of the way through because NOTHING HAPPENS).
New Moon is the same shit with more stalking (this time by a werewolf), more swooning over guys, and a lot less shirts (why??). The main character (again terrible actress Kristen Stewart) cannot chose between two men, and the one she truly loves has run off to keep her safe. Then she goes f'ing psycho and starts almost killing herself (I wish she would have) to have him pop up as a puff of cloud to worry about here and tell her to stop being stupid. I didn't read this book, so when I fell asleep before the action happened, I don't know what else happened in the film. I didn't even get to see how Dakota Fanning grew up. My fault for playing a drinking game with this movie and sitting on a couch. Couches always cause me to fall asleep! I was told that the action was at the end again and I didn't miss much. More terrible acting, script, dialogue, and plot. Not worth it and I'll never understand why people like watching movies about stalkers and fantasizing about them.
Pretty soon I expect to watch the latest of the Twilight series, Eclipse, drunk and see if I make it to the point where the action happens (if it does).
