I have a new theory

ok, so my recent experience with girls has taught me many things. The most important of which I am going to relay to you in this very post. I bet you are all bursting with excitement. So without further delay, my new theory.
Girls are all pathological liars. Not that they mean to lie, or that they formulate plans to lie to people or are massive con artists or anything like this. No, its much more simple and obscure. So when they are in a situation, any situation which is benifitting them in anyway (my warm bed for example) they will say anything without actually meaning it. They will act a certain way, do certain things, play certain games, and yes, they are really games. You could even say, in certain situations life is just a game to women. Man, I mean to for me, I won't say anything untruthful or dishonest to someone unless I know I am lying to them. I don't like to lie to people and I try not to if at all possible but girls, in these situations will seriously not realize the lies they spew. Its like, they don't count or something because of the situation. Think of it as if your drunk, and of course you say "oh i was drunk, so it doesn't count". Thats what girls say whenever they get a chance. If they are in a a situation that benefits them, they will lie and consider it not lying.
Its crazy, and I mean, I can't quite understand how someone could do this, but all evidence points to this being the truth. I don't know really, this is my theory, its either that or girls are just pathological liars. I wish that weren't true, so for now my theory stands. Until I can come up with a better one of course. Women are crazy, and if I said I could live without them, I'd be a liar.

Dreaming of a Heavenly Battle

I had this dream, this dream that was in such detail and so obscure that it needs to be explained. Anyways, so the earliest part of the dream I can remember was me going up to Santa Cruz to visit Isaac, except instead of UCSC Isaac was currently enlisted in some sort of heavenly army fighting some epic battle. He of course wasn't heavily involved but he was doing his part, fittingly enough we were discussing girl problems, it was interesting. So as most of you know Perry has been involved in his environmental group work for this semester, going to conventions and doing volunteer work etc. Ok so imagine Perry's environmental group is the main active section of the army helping the angels and spirits fight this battle. So Isaac and I go to help fight the battle and its just like one of those volunteer group deals, people talking and stuff, some guys got a big map showing us what we are going to be doing, except instead of some sort of ditch digging plan its a battle map showing our plan of attack. Where was this all taking place? Think of Santa Cruz but with more dust and we are on the side of some dirt road that leads up a massive hill to this Peter's Gate, gateway to heaven. On the other side of this gate the battle is raging and the sight is amazing, flashes of light and all sorts of amazing creatures and spirits are over there, risking it all. So to fight in this battle you gotta be of a certain tier of spirituality or something. For example for me to just hang out with Isaac I had to be like a level 1 or at the first tier. Then to join Perry and his crazy group I had to go up one level. Then to actually join the battle I had to get to the final tier.
Anyways, some of the war spills out of Peter's Gate and we fight them off but we learn that our hero, Batman, has been captured. Batman is like the non-Angel spirit hero that we sent in to help the Angels. So the Bat suit is delivered to us, and it looks like he is for sure captured or worse. Now the leaders of Perry's group suspect that this is a trick to get us to surrender so they decide to send one of us in there to find out about it. I am selected and I am sent back to earth to talk to some high level spirits or angels in order to get clearance to the final tier of spirituality.
Apparently I died or something so when I am sent back it’s as if I just graduated high school and that my first year of college didn’t happen. So I go to this dorm of some college to meet the angel and I know one of his roommates and I have to pretend that I knew him from high school not college. His roommates of course have no idea what’s going on and we got to talking and I almost blew my cover. Anyways, this is where it gets really crazy, the Angel is meditating and he says he will grant me what I need if I bring him a Sprite. Yes, a freaking soda. Apparently he wasn't allowed to buy anything and he had no money and he really needs a Sprite. So he says I have to go to this other Angel to get the money and find out where the 7-11 is. So I go to the other Angel and he wants a Sprite too and he gives me some money and then I go to the store and buy a Sprite, but then I remember I needed two so I had to bum some money to get the 2nd one. So as I am going back I see a woman in a Super Man tee-shirt and I begin to talk to her about superman and she looks at me as if I am crazy. Then I realize that I have to hurry back to fight in the battle-
Then I wake up and realize I am 30mins late for my speech final. Isn't that insane? I've been sitting in my final for the last hour trying to figure out what the hell it all means. I think it’s just a combination of what’s going on in my life and the heavenly battle is my internal struggle to do the right thing. Crazy eh? If you read down this far give yourself credit, this is a very strange post indeed.

My life

Too tired to even comment (sigh).

Grumble to Lynch

So I love TV. I am currently watching around 4 or 5 sitcoms everyweek and I am addicted to them all. Unfortunately I work constantly so I often miss my beloved shows. This wasn't a problem for me because there are sites where you can download these shows hours after they air, sometimes even before they are on TV. But thrusday this all came to a end. The MPAA decided to step in and end this free-sharing of television programs across the net. Fucking ruined my life. How in the hell am I suppose to watch the OC now damn it? Or Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Smallville or family guy? This is pretty much the worst thing that could happen to any TV fan. I'm probably going to have to rely on my mother to tape as much as she can.
So if that isn't bad enough...well acutally theres not much else to complain about. I just hate the damn MPAA, so much. Im all for the protection of the rights of film makers, you shouldn't be able to download movies for free off the interenet. But with TV shows its a little different, this downloading of shows effects the networks but a majority of the usars are international and can't get these shows where they are located. I don't know, this will probably force me to watch more TV, in turn supporting the industry I hope to one day become a part of, so I guess its really a good thing.
I have much more to say, but for now its late and I need to sleep because work starts in 9 hours and I must be ready to appeal to the middle-upper class. But I will leave you with a question for discussion. What does everyone think of David Lynch films? It seems like you can seperate people into three catagories. Those who don't get Lynch films, those who get them and like them and those who get them and just don't care. But that aside, what did anyone think of Lost Highway and Mullahond Drive? Those two are probably the two most out there of his movies that are hardest to comprehend, at least to me. It would be interesting to hear what others have to say. I will come in with my bit on these movies tomorrow, most likely. Night all.

The Interpreter and Cock Blocking

So I saw the Interpreter a couple of weeks ago when it came out and it was really good. It seems as if it has not really gotten much attention since it came out though which is too bad. Sidney Pollack really knows how to make a thriller, especially when it is staring Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn. I also saw Sahara when it came out and it was quite bad. The Interpreter was the complete opposite of that movie. Both movies to start out with some action going on. Sahara's action is completely pointless and never really ties in with the rest of the movie, whereas in the Interpreter the opening scene has a very important part to play in the whole film. There was also some unexpected humor in the movie. It was really odd because Sean Penn looks and acts pretty sad and lonely and then he cracks a joke and the audience can laugh for a second and then the movie pulls you right back into the suspense. This is not really a complete review but I really like the movie so don't overlook it as all these other flashy movies start comming out.
Now on to the Cock Blocking. So I have a question. Do think it is right to stop some chick with getting with another guy even if you don't have any intentions of your own? Is Cock Blocking acceptible in the Guy Code? I just learnt what it was like a month ago and I don't really know what to think of it. So if you have any answers please comment.

Zombie-licous

Before I get started I would like to re-direct all my loyal fans and readers (heh) to check out what I have labeled the "Great Bloody Debate" over at obviously not a golfer. Anyone who likes bloody or stylistic film making should check it out. I haven't put in my two cents on the topic as of yet because it is concluded so tactfully. But anyone who knows me should already be well aware of my opinion so there’s not much most of you are missing out on anyways. But on to my main topic.

Over the weekend I sat down and watched a few of my old movies that I have been apart of in the past. When I popped in my special edition DVD of “The Grave Keeper" as always, I laughed my ass off. That movie has never failed to tickle my funny bone and get a reaction from the people I show it to. Now, the creators gave it a good analyzing a few weeks ago but I think as far as content and quality, as the ones who made it, they could never really give it a good review or critique. I only had a small role in this bloody masterpiece so I feel I am detached enough to do it justice.

As far as short films go this one has to be one of the most entertaining films I have had a pleasure to watch. Entertaining doesn’t mean it had good acting or good writing, but it keeps you focused on the movie. While the acting is not quite as up to par as many others it is part of its appeal. The clumsy delivery of many of the lines reminds me of the acting in “Clerks”, which in a way is not that much of an insult. If you’re at least at the level of a badly acted highly acclaimed film you’re not doing that badly. But the strength here is not in the acting or even the writing but in the presentation. The great makeup on the ghouls, the fight scenes and the editing is really what puts this one on top. Although at times things go on for too long (Thomas’ death/Bruce's mourning scene) overall the pace is steady and just feels right. The one liners and the delivery of the lines themselves are at times perfect "Those who trifle with the dead, soon find themselves among the dead". In fact every one of Jody's lines is hilarious and perfectly executed, as far as comical zombie movies go. It's faults? Too long, too many re-used shots (it was cool once), and actors who, are not really actors. But in the end. the over the top zombie bashing fun is not to be missed and I recommend this movie to anyone who liked “Shaun of the Dead” or any zombie movie at all.

Now, maybe you will say, "Alrik don't you know these people? Isn't that why everything is so funny to you and why you are shamelessly promoting this piece of crap?" Well I would say that maybe some of Isaac's scenes are more enjoyable because of our friendship but I didn't know Jody the first time I saw the film and without her I don't think I'd like this movie half as much as I do. So in conclusion "The Grave Keeper" is a hilarious, over the top, Zombie movie, which no fan should miss. So if you like Zombie movies, contact me and I will host a screening for you, and I'll try not to ruin it for you by laughing too loudly.
