Movie Review- Henry Selick's Coraline

Coraline.
Another edition to the creepy, yet somehow adorable world of tiny clay characters and backgrounds.
I was surprised Tim Burton actually had nothing to do with this, it looks right up his alley.
However, Henry Selick, who did an amazing job with the classic "Nightmare Before Christmas" did a phenomenal job on this cute little film.
Coraline is a sweet, sarcastic young thing who just really wants someone to talk to that is halfway interesting, and will listen to her without just waiting for their turn to speak. Not too much of a request, I'd say. Quite reasonable. Her parents push her (quite aggressively) away and it leads her to poking around the house they have just moved into for something interesting.
She finds a little door that leads her to a parallel world where everyone from her normal life is extremely nice and fun, especially by her standards. However, even Coraline can tell there is something wrong with the people's acting...aside from the fact that they all have buttons for eyes.
The visuals were as catching as they were stunning, the music was beautiful, the acting was top-notch, and the story was creepy enough to keep my attention. (I'm not a fan of the lovy dovy sugar coated movies). It has a wonderful ending, too, a good factor for me.
I went in expecting a lot less of this film, and left completely dazzled.
Amazing. 5/5.

cuz im bluffin with my muffin

Hello anyone that may still graze over my blog.
Sorry about the extended, deadly absences. I'm quite busy with my studies.
I will be back with more complaining soon. But I'll start off with some movie reviews!
It'll be a good way of getting back on that horse.
Peace.

what to do

So yeah.
I'm here today to speak about my boyfriend/ fiances (for future reference ill just call him my fiance) best friend.
Well call him the enemy.
He's charming. He's good looking. He's funny. He's evil.
There were times that me and my fiance were apart, not split up, just in different rooms, where the enemy would make moves on me.
he's my fiance's BEST FRIEND!
and he makes moves on me
He tells me that my fiance will never be able to satisfy me.
That he will always be apathetic to me and that only HE can be right for me.
That's not all. The enemy has a GIRLFRIEND while he does all of this.
So in summary, my fiance's TAKEN best friend is making moves on me. Constantly.
Now you all know me. I'm completely antifeminist. I dont like to make accusations about men. But I don't understand how someone could do something so heartless.
I mostly blame it on sex. Sex drives people to do horrible things, and this is one of the best examples.
Yes im still a virgin *pause for slight applause* and i plan to stay that way.
But the enemy thinks that im well...fresh meat. As SOME men do.
It hurts me, even with my masochism, to be so helpless and feel like I'm this man's little project. Does anyone know what I should say to him?
Oh btw my fiance KNOWS ive told him and they're still friends.

the real update

First off, I am now officially obsessed with Vampires.
I thank Anne Rice and Stephanie Meyer especially for that ;)
I've started my own vampire novel and it's coming right along.
There's a good update, heh?
HEH?
Oh, I'm practically engaged. I've finally found the man I will marry. At least...
I think I have. He hasn't hurt me yet, like all the others have...
I love him. he's my life.
Lets see what else...
I got a beautiful volkswagon bug, which I will upload pictures of... one of these days haha
Hmm
When it comes to this election in America, I'll list the candidates in order of who i hate the most. The worst one being the first. Hilary Clinton (who's no longer in it WHOO), Barack Obama, John McCain.
I hate them all, but I feel like a pussi for not voting so I pick the lesser of all the evils, McCain.
The end. Don't try to sway me. At all. You can't. Obama is an idiot. I'm sorry, you CAN'T make me feel otherwise. Book shut.
I don't like McCain either, but as I said, i can't NOT VOTE i dont have it in me
SO
Lets see what else...
Not too much.
I'll find something to bitch about soon.
In the meantime, stay beautiful ^_^

UPDATE

Hey all. Sorry I've taken so long to update. Love you all and I'll start posting again this week.
No real reason why I stopped in the first place. Just did.
Catch you all soon

hmmmmm

a bit of interesting information i have come across.
first i will inform you, reader, of a few things in case you dont already know.
in TODAY'S society things like...rap...and hip hop are considered art.
i barely call it music.

its talking (and saying rude, derogatory things i might add) with an annoying rythem.
yeah..not art to me.

ANYway there is a certain rapper named R Kelly.
and i dont care if you dont agree with what people have accused him of. its a fact that he is being convicted for child pornography
ok...wow...
SICK
and wrong.
but NO, he makes another album despite those accusations
and ....get this
people are feeling SORRY for him
they want him to be able to rap and want the accusations gone...
...
hes a fucking rapper!! who gives a shit about him!?!?
he enjoys looking at child pornography!! there is SOMETHING WRONG with his HEAD!
but of course, he's a rapper. let him off. he's ok. its no big deal...
and heres the part i thought of myself
if a priest were to be accused of such a thing...even remotely...
they get an instant court case and the WHOLE DAMN FAITH is blamed for that one person's mistake...
hmmmmmmmm
doesnt seem fair to me...at all
i mean why are rappers considered so AMAZING? they dress in raggety ass giant t shirts, wear fake gold necklaces..(or even worse...REAL gold) and hold cups, yelling the same gdamn thing over and over, dancing around women laying in money .
come on ladies... dont you have any respect for yourselves? dont you see that they are putting you in piles of money because they see you as POSSESIONS!? *sigh*

bored as a plank

wow...my attendence rate on here has become atrocious.

i apologize. been busy and have had plenty of things to do.

this year at school seems better. when you get older, school becomes so tedious. as an adult, you start losing patience with the idiots, but you've lost the will to care enough for it to bother you.

i just do what i need to do, then i get to be with friends. whether its one of my hundreds of online friends or out of the group of around twenty up close ones. I just live...simplicity is a wonderful, underrated thing.

people like to make things complicated. then they complain. they wish life wasn't so hard.

life, a lot of the time, is as hard as you make it. i mean, im speaking as a person who has suffered greatly in my life....
that doesnt mean the rest of my life has to be gloomy. it means i have overcome more and am more ready for hardship.

take that rish, boring snobby ppl.

sasori just died in the naruto shippudens. i think i cant stop crying...
R.I.P. baby...i'll miss you....
