P.S

Also, just a quick reminder for myself I guess, I'll be posting up a review(ish) for a movie I saw in yesterday's lecture, Falling Down.

Shape that represents me, octohundrethougon

So here it is, a shape that represents me. 

I'll be honest, I have no idea what the shape is called, but I had to edit the faces so it gave me this many sides. 

The reason? I believe that I'm a relatively complex person to figure out, although one may think they know one of my sides, theres always going to be another side they've never seen. Same goes for myself, I don't think I know me completely, hence the gazillion sides. The colour is I guess supposed to symbolise the simplicity of my lifestyle I guess. I won't go into that, however, it'll take too long. Lolz.

Sex Drive

Heres the first of one of the reviews from my little notebook I got a while back.

"Sex Drive"


From Wikipedia - "Sex Drive is a 2008 comedy film about a high school senior who goes on a cross-country road trip to hook up with a girl he met online. It is based on the novel All the Way, by Andy Behrens. The film was directed by Sean Anders, and stars Josh Zuckerman, Clark Duke, and Amanda Crew. James Marsden and Seth Green appear in supporting roles"

The opening of the movie is reminiscent to the earlier American Pie movies, it almost seemed like a spin-off. For the most part, the movie was ever so predictable, and the storyline resembled 'Eurotrip', another 'Teen movie' released in the last decade. The story, in a nutshell, is basically about a boy in his late teens who has been talking to a girl over the internet, and basically goes on a DRIVE to see this girl, eventually to have SEX. Hence the name, Sex Drive.

There were a few decent laughs, moreso toward the end of the movie. The plot was predictable, as I mentioned before, and I saw the ending coming from a mile away, of course anyone could really, as the movie progressed, it became more and more clear what would happen.

Certain parts of the movie seemed a little irrellevant to the story, but it wasn't really a bad thing, just something worth mentioning, I guess.

Overall, the movie wasn't bad by any means, the director I've never actually heard of, but having James Marsden( X-Men I/II/II, Enchanted) and Seth Green(Family Guy, Goldmember) in the mix as supporting roles didn't hurt it at all. It could be the beginning of a new 'American Pie' type series.

Enchanted LOL.

Ok, so watching this movie probably wasn't high on my list of ones to see, but I'm not gonna lie..I enjoyed it. yes, it was corny, yes, it was VERY lame, and yes, the singing and dancing was retarded. But- I enjoyed it. While watching the movie, I noticed references to older Disney movies, such as Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. There were others, but I'll get to that in a moment. The story seemed to take quite a large slice from Snow White, such as the poison apple, and the whole 'kiss-from-prince-to-wake-up-from-deep-sleep' malarky. Giselle made references from time to time to Snow White, i.e. Dwarves. After reading another review of this movie, I noticed there were plenty of other references to old Disney classics, such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Sword in the Stone, and others. Heres the list of references to the other movies:

"Books open in many of the classic Disney films. The pop-up book is a modern take off on the traditional openings of Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. The hall the book is in is based on Evind Eryle’s artwork for Sleeping Beauty.

Giselle is a combination of Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel and Belle, but mostly she approaches life much as Snow White would.

Animal friends accompany all of the classic princesses on their journeys - Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty.

You can see the bell jar with the rose in it, from Beauty and the Beast, clearly on the right as the camera pushes towards Giselle and Pip sitting on window seat.

Prince Edward is a combination of Prince Charming, Prince Philip and the Prince from Cinderella and Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid.

The name of the law firm is an homage to the songwriters of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves: Frank Churchill, Leigh Harline and Paul J. Smith.

The last name of the divorcing couple is Banks, based on the troubled parents in Mary Poppins.
Robert’s assistant Sam is played by Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid.

The “Happy Working Song” is a complete homage to “Whistle While You Work.” It contains references to many other Disney films.

The ending of the song is much like the end of “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid or “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast.

Poison apples are a direct reference from Snow White.

Rapunzel is being performed in the bandshell - an homage to the upcoming Disney film.

Square trees in the Rapunzel performance look like the Eyvind Earle designs for the Sleeping Beauty trees.

While Edward is in the hotel room changing channels, he sees both the news and a soap opera.

The soap opera star is Paige O’Hara, the voice of Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Her name is Angela after Angela Lansbury, Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast.

The music that underscores the soap opera is the song Beauty and the Beast.

The Bella Notte Restaurant is named after the song in Lady and the Tramp. There is a sign in the window at the far end of the restaurant.

In Morgan’s bedroom as Giselle tells her the Red Riding Hood story: There is a Belle doll wearing sunglasses, which can be seen in the chair at the start of the scene.

During Edward’s search for Giselle in the apartment complex: The pregnant mom is Judy Kuhn, the singing voice of Pocahontas.

During the Ballroom scene: The Old Hag appears and convinces Giselle to bite into the last of the Snow White.

A kiss will wake Giselle from her sleep - Snow White and Sleeping Beauty.

Giselle loses her glass slipper - Cinderella. As well, the slipper fits Nancy perfectly - also Cinderella.

Along with the references in the film, the end credits also include quite a few visual references to past Disney classics, including:
Fairies from Fantasia
Wishing well from Snow White
Frog Prince and kissing Princess from the upcoming Princess and the Frog
Cinderella ball
Cinderella’s palace
Cinderella’s coach
Cinderella’s mice friends
The Little Mermaid
Cinderella’s glass slipper
The sword in the stone
biting the poison apple
Malefiecent the dragon"

So, although I haven't scraped the tip of the iceberg with this movie and I'd love to point out flaws and whatnot, It's late. And I was told not to write long ass reviews. Lol.

Identities seminar

So I had an identities seminar yesterday, it was..different. I think many people in the group didn't enjoy or thought the seminar was stupid. I think it kind of helped with the whole box thing, but theres like..2 more sessions left. So, we'll see. It wasn't that bad though.

An update. FINALLY.

Behold, an unfinished product made by me. So it needs quite abit of tweeking, but I'm glad I've actually gotten this far. I still have to do the head and the details and stuff, but this is a start I believe. I enjoyed this session I did.



Now, another subject, my blog, I haven't posted in a while now, which is a very bad thing. very, VERY bad. I need to keep on top of this, however, I've been sort of 'reviewing' movies-ish, I'll probably type those up again soon. I wish not to scan them in cuz then it'll look like I've done too little. If I type it in, it'll look like I've been very busy. Which I have. More to come.
