Down With Love Review

IMDb Rating: 6.3
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 60%
Notable Cast/Crewmembers: Renée Zellweger, Ewan McGregor, David Hyde Pierce, Sarah Paulson, Rachel Dratch, Timothy Omundson
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Weirdly entertaining.
_____
It's 1962. Barbara Novak is the author of the bestselling novel Down With Love. This book tesches women that they, just like men, could and should have sex whenever they want, without love. Barbara is supposed to have a meeting with Catcher Block, journalist for the magazine Know and ladies man. Catcher is always 'busy' with other women when they are supposed to meet, and after a while, Barbara is so fed up with Catch that she tells him she never wants to see him again. Meanwhile, her book has become a worldwide succes and women everywhere start to become independent. Catcher can't get any woman anymore, and he is determined to bring Barbara's reputation down by making her fall in love with him, without wanting to have sex with him.
_____
It's funny (in a meta kind of way), the costumes are all beautiful and custom made, and it all feels like a movie from the sixties. The jokes are really corny, but if you see this as a film that doesn't take itself too seriously, that doesn't matter.
_____
Barbara Novak: Another ruse, Catcher? You know I have no interest in seeing you.
Catcher Block: But you know you have to, and you know I know you have to. I'm sure you know how things are at KNOW ever since your new NOW.
Barbara Novak: I have no way of knowing how things are now at KNOW. I knew how things were at KNOW before NOW.
Catcher Block: Then you should know now at KNOW things are a lot like they are at NOW, we have to interview every applicant for every job, and so do you or you'd be going against NOW's definition of discrimination and you wouldn't want the readers of NOW or KNOW to know that, now would you?

Guys, Johnny Depp Is Single...

Let's all make jokes about how women all over the world are excited for this, because every single girl even if they're only 16, would like to date a dude who's nearly fifty. Also, every girl EVER is dumb enough to think that Johnny depp could be intersted in her.

I get that it's just a joke, but it's starting to get a little sexist.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

When I was browsing the forums, something dawned on me:

-If a movie is unoriginal and predictable, people will whine because it's 'just Hollywood repeating itself for the moneyz" and anyone can make a movie like that.

-If a movie has an original concept (which is the case with AL:VH), people will whine because it's a "silly idea" and anyone can make a movie like that.

I, for one, am very excited to see Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

Fireworks

I only just heard that fireworks are illegal in the US for people under eightteen to buy. Seriously? Fireworks? I know that a lot of accidents happen, but how can you ever teach people to be responsible when it comes to fireworks, if they can't buy them? I honestly think that being this strict about it only makes it worse.

I Rickroll'd A Teacher

A few months ago, I told my English teacher Mr Senten about My Little Pony. He wouldn't believe that it was the greatest thing ever, but he was willing to try it. Today he said that I had to send him a link to an episode so he could watch it. Of course, always trying to let people join the herd, it was the first (or seventh...) thing I did when I came home from school.
I sent him the link of the first and second episode (they form one story, as every Brony knows). Underneath, I placed a link of which I said that it was some explanation of the fandom, when it was actually a link to Never Gonna Give You Up (I'm so gangsta). Apparently he clicked it, 'cause this was his reply:



Even better: a few weeks ago, another teacher added a few memes to tbe Latin test (I'm not going to place them on this blog, because they're too specific for people who do not know that particular Roman story).
It seems like we have the best teachers ever.

-The Shy Hipster

Things That I Only Just Realised

1. Chips (or French fries) are actually not that tasty without mayonaise (or ketchup for countries other than The Netherlands).

2. Most sites on the internet that claim to be funny are actually not that funny.

3. Everytime people show me a picture or inspirational quote that 'will make me think', I think it's corny.

4. I really hate the word 'spiritual' because there is no clear definition for spiritual.

5. Faucet water is the water of gods.

Hey, I Just Met You...

Music Challenge Day Two

Your least favourite song.

-Probably Miracles, by Insane Clown Posse. In my opinion, it teaches people the wrong thing about Christianity and atheism. Also, it makes religious people an easy target for bullying.

-The Shy Hipster

Overused Opinions

Here are some things people say, that have become overused on the internet.

1. "Justin Bieber is horrible/gay/a girl!" You don't like his music, fine, I don't like it too, but this is just too low.

2. "Twilight sucks!" Again, I don't like Twilight either, but it's not like every Twilight fan is trying to make you a part of the fanbase.

3. "The 90's were better!" No legal gay marriage anywhere, the Gulf War and no internet, FUCK YEAH!

4. "Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp always work together!" I don't see the problem. Sure, they made a few bad movies, but that was mostly the writing. I don't think the actors or the director were to blame. Oh, and by the way: Big Fish, Sweeney Todd and Corpse Bride. They were all marvellous.

5."Fag!" Homosexuality isn't wrong, thank you very much.

-The Shy Hipster

Most Annoying Memes

1. You don't say Most of the time it's unnecessary.
2. If You Know What I Mean See previous.
3. Me [something-or-other]-sta It's only funny if the something-or-other rhymes with "gu".
4. [something-or-other]-ception Guys, let's just put things inside each other, and say "thingception". Fucking comedy genius, and totally not the same as "Yo dawg".
5. Mother of [something-or-other] It adds nothing
6. Conspiracy Keanu, Philosoraptor and Sudden Clarity Clarence One of them is enough. Nobody asked for the same meme with three different looks.
7. Watch Out, We're Dealing With A Badass Over Here Overused and redundant most of the time.

Your favourite song?

-I don't really have a favourite song, it changes from day to day. But I think that if I had to choose a song that I had to listen to for all eternity, it would be All I Need by Within Temptation. It's a great mix between a rock band and a classical orchestra and the lyrics are beautiful.

The Gruffalo Review

IMDb Rating: 7.3
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 78%
Notable Cast/Crewmembers: Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, John Hurt, James Corden, Tom Wilkinson, Rob Brydon
Genre: Family, Animation

Just a sweet childrens' story.
_______
Mother Squirrel tells her children the story of the Gruffalo. When Mouse is walking to a tree with a lot of nuts, he is plagued by all sorts of animals who want to eat him. Every time he escapes just in time by saying he's going to meet a terrible creature called the Gruffalo. After a while, he sees a creature with big teeth, purple spikes and a black tongue. Now what would that be?
_______
I loved this movie. It's not very long, only thirty minutes (which is enough for a movie that's an adaption of a childrens' book), it is animated in a way that's extremely beautiful and colourful (CGI characters with real life sets) and EVERYTHING RHYMES! I cannot see a flaw in this movie.

Mouse: Silly old owl! Doesn't he know? There's no such thing as a Gruffalo!

After Tara Strong had cancelled her appearance at the Knoxville Comic and Anime Show, a mother of a disabled son (Dragon) was very sad, because she had to tell her son he wouldn't be meeting Twilight Sparkle.

Daleks Vs. Cybermen

Because I've thought about Doctor Who a lot lately, I've come to the conclusion that the Dalek vs. Cybermen war in Doomsday a nod is to the battle between national-socialism and communism.
Think about it: the Daleks hate everything that is not pure Dalek in their eyes (nazism) and well... They were based on the Daleks. The Cybermen want everybody to be the same, to make one great army (extreme communism). Furthermore, they are alike in many ways (the catchphrase, the "living thing inside metal armour"-thing, the "no emotions"-thing etc.) because extreme communism and extreme national-socialism can result in the same things.
I also think that the catchphrase is meant as some sort of propaganda: in nazi Germany they used a lot of short phrases with no real meaning, that people can scream if someone doesn't agree with the national-socialism. After a while, those short phrases get a life of their own and become a symbol for the oppression.

Having A Cold

Because I got sick a few days ago, my voice is completely ruined. I can't even sing the easiest song without sounding like a dog that's being abused.

The Dictator Review

IMDb Rating: 6.9
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 58%
Notable Cast/Crewmembers: Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Kingsley, Anna Faris
Genre: Comedy

Though some bits were unnecessary, it was a nice movie.
_____
Aladeen, dictator of the fictional country of Wadiya, is forced to sign a contract to make Wadiya a democracy. At first he doesn't want to, but then is uncle lets him get kidnapped and lets a double take Aladeens place. Aladeen now has to work together with Zoey, a feminist, ecological, non-racist, fair trade shop owner, whom he falls in love with.
_____
I thought that the movie was funny for some parts, exaggerated for others. I am very political correct, but I thought it was so obvious that Sacha Baron Cohen just pokes fun at everything, that I can't imagine that there are people who are offended by this.
Though it's nice and funny, there are a few things that bothered me: I thought the wanking scene and the childbirth scene were just provocative and they didn't really add anything to the story. Also, I am not a big fan of Anna Faris. She over-acts and always looks a bit awkward.
_____
Doctor: [Aladeen rewrote the language so his name means both "positive" and "negative"] Do you want the Aladeen news or the Aladeen news?
Patient: The Aladeen news?
Doctor: You're HIV-Aladeen.

Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire Review

Notable Cast/Crewmembers: Maggie Smith, Ralph Fiennes, Jason Isaacs, Tom Felton, Michael Gambon, Robert Pattinson, Clémence Poésy, Shirley Henderson, Brendan Gleeson, Alan Rickman, David Tennant, Timothy Spall, Geraldine Somerville, Mark Williams, Robbie Coltrane, David Bradley, Roger Lloyd-Pack, Warwick Davis, Frances De La Tour, Gary Oldman
Genre: Fantasy

Aaaah! The Doctor in Harry Potter! YEAAAAAH!
_____
Harry is forced to compete in the Triwizard Tournament, a tournament in which three wizards from different schools compete against each other in horribly hard tasks. He has to deal with dragons, mermaids and, ultimately, the Dark Lord himself.
_____
Though this is not my favourite Harry Potter film, I can definitely enjoy it. The main trio acts OK (in some movies it's plain horrible, but this was fine) and the underwater scenes are beautiful. The dragon is as realistic as dragons can be. The only things I didn't like were Robert Pattinson (Twilight in a Harry Potter movie? Blasphemy!) and Michael Gambon. Though Gambon is often a great actor, he was a terrible Dumbledore. Gambon himself may not notice the change because he refuses to read the books, but us Potterheads do know that Dumbledore should be an old, friendly man. Not some sort of maniac.
_____
Ron: At least I warned you about the dragons.
Harry: Hagrid warned me about the dragons.
Ron: No, I did! Don't you remember? I told Hermione to tell you that Seamus told me that Parvati told Dean that Hagrid was looking for you! Seamus never actually told me anything, so it was really me all along. I thought we'd be alright, you know, after you figured that out.
Harry: Who... who could possibly figure that out? It's completely mental.

The Merchant Of Venice Review

IMDb Rating: 7.1
Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 72%
Notable Cast/Crewmembers: Joseph Fiennes, Jeremy Irons, Al Pacino, Lynn Collins, Kris Marshall, Michael Radford, Charlie Cox
Genre: Drama

It was okay.
_______
Bassanio needs money to travel to his lover, Portia. His friend Antonio makes a deal with the Jew Shylock to lend Bassanio the money. They agree that Shylock will receive one pound of Antonio's flesh if they fail to return the money on time. Of course, they can't give it back. In the meantime, Shylock's daughter Jessica elopes with a Christian, which does not soften Shylock in his deal with Antonio.
_______

We watched this in English class, because we are now learning about the Renaissance. In my opinion, it would've been better to show a different film, because I don't know an average fifth grade (grades are different in the Netherlands) that likes costume dramas. Though, I usually don't like them either, but I thought this one was okay. I'm not sure why, but it could be that Jeremy Irons and Al Pacino played much more natural than you'd expect in a Shakespearian film. Most of the time, the actors are only saying their lines, but they really acted with it.
Of course, I also don't like the antisemitism, but, as far as I'm aware, it is not entirely sure if Shakespeare meant it that way.
________
Shylock: I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villany you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.

Doctor Quotes: Ten

THE CHRISTMAS INVASION

[The Doctor]: Now, first things first. Be honest. How do I look?
[Rose]: Umm...different.
[The Doctor]: Good different or bad different?
[Rose]: Just...different.
[The Doctor]: Am I...ginger?
[Rose]: No, you're just sort of...brown.
[The Doctor]: [disappointed] Aw, I wanted to be ginger! I've never been ginger! And you, Rose Tyler! Fat lot of good you were! You gave up on me! [Rose looks annoyed.] Ooh, that's rude. Is that the sort of man I am now? Am I rude? Rude and not ginger.

[Sycorax Leader]: Blood control is just one form of conquest. I could summon the armada and take this world by force!
[The Doctor]: Well...you could do that. Yeah, you could do that. Of course you could! But why? Look at these people, these human beings. Consider their potential! From the day they arrive on the planet, blinking, step into the sun, there is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than—no, hold on. Sorry, that's The Lion King. But the point still stands: leave them alone!

[The Doctor]: Don't challenge me, Harriet Jones! 'Cause I'm a completely new man! I could bring down your government with a single word!
[Harriet Jones]: You're the most remarkable man I've ever met. But I don't think you're quite capable of that.
[The Doctor]: No, you're right. Not a single word; just six.
[Harriet Jones]: I don't think so.
[The Doctor]: Six words.
[Harriet Jones]: Stop it!
[The Doctor]: Six. [walks over to Alex and whispers to him] Don't you think she looks tired?

NEW EARTH

[Cassandra-in-Doctor]: Ooh, my. Well this is... different.
[Rose]: Cassandra?
[Cassandra-in-Doctor]: Goodness me, I'm a man! Yum! So many parts... and hardly used. [clutches the Doctor's chest] Oh, two hearts! [dancing to the dual heartbeat] Oh baby, I'm beating out a samba!
[Rose]: Get out of him!
[Cassandra-in-Doctor]: Oh, he's slim. [turn to Rose] And a little bit foxy! [raises eyebrows] You thought so, too. I've been inside your head, you've been looking...you like it.

TOOTH AND CLAW

[Captain Reynolds]: You will explain your presence, and the nakedness of this girl.
[The Doctor]: [switches to David Tennant's Scottish accent] Are we in Scotland?
[Captain Reynolds]: [annoyed] How can you be ignorant of that?
[The Doctor]: Oh, I'm, I'm dazed and confused. I've been chasing this...this wee-naked child over hill and over dale. Ain't that right, ya...tim'rous beastie?
[Rose]: Uh-uh...[adopts an extremely terrible Scottish accent] och aye, I've been oot and aboot—

THE GIRL IN THE FIREPLACE

[Rose]: Oh, here's trouble. What you been up to?
[The Doctor]: Oh, this and that. Became the imaginary friend of a future French aristocrat, picked a fight with a clockwork man... [A horse whinnies off screen] Oh, and I met a horse.
[Mickey]: What's a horse doing on a spaceship?
[The Doctor]: Mickey, what's pre-revolutionary France doing on a spaceship? Get a little perspective!

THE IDIOT'S LANTERN

[Eddie Connolly]: [fiercely] I am talking!
[The Doctor]: [stands up and matches Eddie] And I'm not listening!

DOOMSDAY

[The Doctor]: What?
[Donna Noble]: Who're you?
[The Doctor]: What?
[Donna Noble]: Where am I?
[The Doctor]: What?
[Donna Noble]: What the hell is this place?!
[The Doctor]: What?!

THE RUNAWAY BRIDE

[The Doctor]: Guess what I've got, Donna? [holds up the roboform remote control] Pockets!
[Donna]: [surprised] How did that fit in there?
[The Doctor]: They're bigger on the inside.

SMITH AND JONES

[The Doctor]: How does it do that? It's wood! It's like a box with that room just crammed in. It's... [The Doctor mouths the next few words along with her] bigger on the inside!
[The Doctor]: [sarcastically] Is it? I hadn't noticed.

THE SHAKESPEARE CODE

[The Doctor]: Good old J. K.!

BLINK

[The Doctor]: People assume that time is a strict progression of cause-of-effect...but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly...timey-wimey...stuff.

[The Doctor]: Tracked you down with this. This is my timey-wimey detector. It goes "ding!" when there's stuff. Also, it can boil an egg at 30 paces, whether you want it to or not, actually, so I've learned to stay away from hens. It's not pretty when they blow.

UTOPIA

[The Doctor]: And... Utopia is...?
[Professor Yana]: Oh, every human knows about Utopia! Where have you been?!
[The Doctor]: Bit of a hermit.
[Professor Yana]: A hermit. With... friends?
[The Doctor]: Hermits United. We meet up every ten years. Swap stories about caves. It's good fun... for a hermit.

VOYAGE OF THE DAMNED

[Rickston Slade]: Hang on a minute. Who put you in charge? And who in the hell are you, anyway?
[The Doctor turns around to face Slade.]
[The Doctor]: I'm the Doctor. I'm a Time Lord. I'm from the planet Gallifrey in the constellation of Kasterborous. I'm 903 years old, and I'm the man who's gonna save your lives and all six billion people on the planet below. You got a problem with that?
[Slade]: [stunned] ...No.
[The Doctor]: In that case: Allons-y!

THE FIRES OF POMPEII

[Spurrina]: This prattling voice will cease, forever!
[Spurrina raises her knife to cease the "prattling voice."]
[The Doctor]: [sardonically] Oh, that'll be the day.

THE SONTARAN STRATEGEM

[The Doctor]: Name?
[General Staal]: General Staal of the Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet. "Staal The Undefeated!"
[The Doctor]: Oh that's no good. What if you get defeated? "Staal The Not-Quite-So-Undefeated-Any-More-But-Never-Mind"?

[The Doctor]: Oh, now...that's clever! Look! [dons glasses] Single-molecule fabric. How thin is that?! You could pack a tent in a thimble. Oh, gravity simulators! Terraforming! Biospheres! Mano-tech steel construction! Ha-ha, this is brilliant! But you know, with equipment like this, you could, oh, I don't know... move to another planet or something.
[Luke Rattigan]: If only that was possible.
[The Doctor]: If only that were possible. [removes glasses] Conditional clause.

THE UNICORN AND THE WASP

[With his mouth full, the Doctor resorts to charades to mime the next food he needs.]
[Donna]: I can't understand you... How many words? One! One word! Shake...milk-shake...milk?! No, not milk. Shake, shake, shake?! Cocktail shaker! What do you want, a Harvey Wallbanger?
[The Doctor]: Harvey Wallbanger?!
[Donna]: Well, I don't know!
[The Doctor]: How is "Harvey Wallbanger" one word?!
[Agatha Christie]: Doctor, what do you need?
[The Doctor]: Salt! I was miming salt, I need salt, I need something salty!
[Donna grabs a brown bag.]
[Donna]: What about this?
[The Doctor]: What is it?!
[Donna]: Salt!
[The Doctor]: Oh, that's too salty!
[Donna]: [sarcastically] Oh, that's too salty!
[Agatha Christie]: What about this?
[The Doctor]: Mmm! [eats]
[Donna]: What's that?
[Agatha Christie]: Anchovies.
[Donna]: What is it? What else?
[The Doctor mimes open palms, with arms outstretched.]
[Donna]: It's a song... Mammy!? I don't know, Camptown Races?
[The Doctor]: Camptown Races?!
[Donna]: All right then, Towering Inferno?
[The Doctor]: It's a shock, a shock, I need a shock!
[Donna]: All right then, big shock coming up... [kisses him on the lips]
[The Doctor exhales the toxins.]
[The Doctor]: Ahh, detox. Oh, I must do that more often. [beat] I mean, the detox...

SILENCE IN THE LIBRARY

[The Doctor]: Almost every species in the universe has an irrational fear of the dark, but they're wrong, because it's not irrational. It's Vashta Nerada.

FOREST OF THE DEAD

[River's narration]: [as the Doctor walks away from the Library] When you run with the Doctor, it feels like it'll never end. But however hard you try you can't run forever. Everybody knows that everybody dies and nobody knows it like the Doctor. But I do think that all the skies of all the worlds might just turn dark if he ever, for one moment, accepts it.
[The Doctor runs back and picks up River's sonic screwdriver]
[The Doctor]: Why? Why would I give her my screwdriver? Why would I do that? The thing is, future me had years to think about it. All those years to think of a way to save her, and what he did was give her a screwdriver! Why would I do that!? [peels back a panel to reveal a set of green lights like on the suits, realizing why his future self has given River the screwdriver] Oh, oh, oh! Look at that! I'm very good!
[Donna]: What have you done?
[The Doctor]: Saved her!

MIDNIGHT

[The Doctor and Sky Silvestry]: Roast beef. Bananas. The Medusa Cascade. [Beat] BANG! [Rapidfire] Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Donna Noble, TARDIS! [beat] Shamble-bobble-dibble-dooble. [beat] Oh, Doctor, you're so handsome. Yes, I am, thank you.

THE WATERS OF MARS

[As the Doctor walks back to the TARDIS, he hears a gunshot: Adelaide has killed herself to undo the changes he has caused to history. As the Doctor reels back in horror, in his mind, he sees the changes to time caused by his arrogance and hubris]
[Adelaide]: [in the Doctor's head] I don't care who you are: the Time Lord Victorious is wrong!
[Ethereal singing sounds. The Doctor looks around the TARDIS to see Ood Sigma looking at him]
[The Doctor:] I've gone too far.

THE END OF TIME PART TWO

[The Doctor]: [still angry] Well, exactly, look at you. Not remotely important. But me... I could do so much more! So much more! But this is what I get, my reward. And it's not fair! [resigned to his fate] Oh...lived too long.

A cartoon that should have been only a movie (or a TV-series).

-Sabrina The Teenage Witch. I loved the live-action series, but come on! A cartoon? It wasn't extremely bad but it was...You know...Bad.

Latif is invited by Saddam Hussein's son Uday Hussein, to be his double. He initially refuses, but he hears that if he doesn't do it, his family will be murdered. He gives in and starts his training to become a narcissistic, psycho drunk. He gets involved in shootings, drug incidents and prostitution. His boss is everywhere, to ensure he does not escape.
_____
Though I'm not the kind of person who likes to watch blood and shootings, I very much enjoyed this film. It is, as far as I know, very realistic and very scary. It's not so much the actual physical violence (though that is also pretty shocking and explicit, but it really adds to the experience) but more the fear of never being able to say what you want, not even allowed to think different thoughts.
What I also loved very much is that they used the same actor for both Uday and Latif. It's weird to think about how one person (Dominic Cooper) has to play three people: Latif, Uday and Latif acting like Uday. To be honest, it wasn't until the closing credits that I noticed that they were the same person. Kudos to mister Cooper.
EDIT:
Apparently this is extremely fictionalized and has near to nothing to do with what actually happened. I'm not sure though, it's just what I heard on the internets.
