Opinions on the Big Lebowski

I was just watching one of my favorite movies, The Big Lebowski. It really felt like the first time I watched it , considering the previous times were on TBS when all the cuss words were dubbed to "freakin" and "shoot".  Now, the Big Lebowski is about a guy named the Dude who walks home one day from the grocery store  to find a guy peeing on his rug and gets beat up by some strangers and stuff. Lets be honest here, the plot isn't that big of a deal. And thats ok. Jeff Bridges plays the character with such a suave, egotistical mindset that the entire movie could have taken place on Mars and I wouldn't have cared. The characters in this film are so developed and fresh, I wanna put them on a turkey sandwich... if that makes any sense...at all. Anyways, I really like the Big Lebowski. Peace.

Why Scott Pilgrim is Important

Oh Scott Pilgrim. Words can not describe how much I love this movie. It is fresh, it is bold and it is fast. If you are a person who can't sit through 2 minutes of dialogue without any explosions, this movie is for you. There aren't that many explosions per say but the editing in the movie is quick and sharp. Which is why I love it. The movie is basically about a guy named Scott Pilgrim (duh) who wants to date a girl but, (twist!) he has to defeat her seven evil exes in order to so. Scott is played by Michael Cera, who I thought was rather dry and dull until I saw him in this role. One thing I love about this movie is its cinematography. The movie is shot like a weird video game from the 80's. It has random pop ups and energy bars, floating icons, floating text, etc. It also has a great score. The opening track is super awesome and I wake up to it every morning. Not kidding. Its that good. Another thing I LOVE about this movie is the characters. My favorite ex is probably ex number 2 aka Lucas Lee portrayed by Chris Evans. He's a typical action movie star hot shot and he's a parody of many action stars (Stallone,Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, even Chris Evans himself to some extent...) In the movie they briefly show mock posters of some of his movies. Below is my favorite one.  So thats basically all I can say about Scott Pilgrim as of right now. There are so many things I love about this movie, I can't write them all down at once. Ask me about it tomorrow and I'll tell you 5 other things I love about it. Peace.

New Spiderman costume revealed!

When news of the spiderman reboot hit the internets a year ago, I was devastated. How could anyone EVER follow up the level of genius that Sam Raimi had created with his spidey franchise (excluding venom in spiderman 3)? Well friends, now I see. About two months after the reboot was announced Marc webb was locked in as director. Now, not only has this man directed (500) days of summer (one of my favorite movies...EVER), but his last name  is Webb. Coincidence? We'll sure... but thats a pretty awesome coincidence if you ask me. And this past summer, relative unknown actor Andrew Garfield was cast to dawn the red and blue tights. Garfield gained a lot of mainstream attention from his role in the Social Network, where he played Mark Z-Berg's main man Eduardo Saverin. He was superb in that movie and was the key part of the story.  Yesterday the first photo of him with the spidey suit came online. I think he looks pretty good. Whaddabouchu?

Suck on it Zuckerberg!

So the new suit... I think it looks pretty good. Its a lot slimmer and thats actually a good thing. Peter Parker is a gangly high schooler, not some buff bodybuilder.  Its colors are also much darker. Are they going for a grittier, more realistic tone? I dunno. Mabes. Thats mah blog for today. Keep your eyes open for my Scott Pilgrim blog. That should be kewl.  And if in 5 years Sony decides to reboot the franchise once more, they'll know who to cast for the lead. This guy.
