Movies… Why???
What ever happened to thought provoking movies that have good story lines and an actual point?
I am an old-school movie nut, and i can’t understand what appeals viewers of modern action movies in the 21st century. Movies these days seem to be all about special effects, movies full of explosions and cool machines killing people, with a happy ending where the protagonist kills all the bad guys and gets the girl in the end.
What ever happened to story lines, well developed characters and character relationships. Movies that have events that are remotely possible, that provoke thought and challenge the viewer emotionally to fall in love with the characters. Instead the modern audience is fixated upon special effects, car chases and very simple story lines.
Another thing I cannot understand is superhero movies. They receive such amazing critical acclaim and yet all have the same basic story line, and as usual end with the protagonist defeating the bad guys and saving the world and all that sappy crap.
Don’t get me wrong, I love movies full of guns, violence and car chases, but there has to be a point, a greater message, and an ending that moves the viewer. Sadly, nearly all modern movies lack the ability to do this. This is due to the depressing fact that the movie industry is now for the witless and the absent minded.
Being A Metalhead Doesn’t Make You a Satanist!!
Whilst on the topic of heavy metal, I figured I would destroy another unrealistic stereotype of heavy metal fans being Satanists. What a load of crap
For years groups such as the Parents Music Recourse Centre and the bastards at the Westboro Baptist Church have attempted to deem heavy metal an unchristian style of music. Sure there are extreme bands such slayer, and those in the the Norwegian Black Metal scene that directly attack religion. But these are extremes.
Metal bands are mistaken as satanic by their evil sound and occult themed vocals about Satan. But does this mean its promoting Satan? No. When you consider this, metal can actually be considered a product promoting fear in Satan, therefore emphasising the Christian belief that Satan is evil.
One example of this comes from my Favorite band Black Sabbath. Credited by most as the first proper heavy metal band, they wore crosses and used occult themed artwork on their albums. But the crosses were originally given to them as a gift for protection. Due to their christian faith, they still wear crosses today. So to all of those overly religious people who are blinded by their faith in god, open your own eyes and see that metal is about as evil and satanic as the pop music you promote on radio every day.
Bloody Lads
LADS are the sorriest excuse for stupid, uneducated, illiterate Australian scummy children and it would please me if they all suffer severe injuries to their genitalia. For those of you who don’t know what a Lad is, to my understanding they are kids who hang out on public transport and shopping centers in gangs looking for trouble. They are easily identifiable by their Nike snap backs, and sporting brand apparel.
Anyway, I was on a tram on the way to a nursing home as part of my schools community action program. My friend and I sat quietly on the tram minding our own business, when a bunch of lads approached us. Decked out in Adidas clothing, they sat in the seats to our right, and one of them recognized our school uniform.”ay mate, you go to dat’ poofta’ school. Who gives and who takes it”. The dickheads burst into a bout of laughter, as did I, laughing at the stupidity of his diction. Another illiterate lad decided to join in. “Yeh’ mate, I versed ya’ in footy, I’s too scared to bend over cos’ I thought I’d get bummed mate”. Out of his sheer stupidity, one of the lads turned to his friend and asked, “so who gets it?”. In an even stupider reply, his friend answered, “I dunno. they wouldn’t say”. But before I had a chance to reply, one screamed “Oh my God, look at dat guy’s Adidas”. Their attention turned to another passenger at the other side of the tram, and walked over to that person, only it wasn’t a walk. Every four steps, they did a skip, as if they were too cool and had way too much sw@g to walk like a normal person.
They left the tram, and I sat, unable to contain my laughter. I’m no professor, but thank fuck I’m not that dumb.
