stardustcboy's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...Need to confess?...Well, come on in friend... HoooOooWDie Ya'LL!!! good thursday to all you beautiful, sweet lil cyber angels out there! hope your week has been going well so far. or is at least tolerable. that's all you can hope for really. so last night i checked out the ORIGINAL "Dawn of the Dead". i must say, the ORIGINAL compared to the REMAKE, is like watching two totally different films. check 'em both out. i liked 'em, each in their own right. i'm a fan of this neo-zombie flick. you know, where the zombies are no longer these shambling, mindless, automatons; but rather, fast, aggressive and vicious flesh-eating machines. that's the shit i say. it's just hard for me to be scared of some dim-witted corpse that moves at like 1/8 the rate that i do. not. scary. but the new spin that all these recent zombie flicks have put on our staple undead creature are quite fascinating, and moreover, much more exciting. so yeah, check out these two movies, you'll dig...if you're into that sort of shit. otherwise go rent "Intolerable Cruelty" or "Gigli" or whatever sappy crappy movie. final ratings (based on a scale of 1 to 10):* DAWN OF THE DEAD 1979 version: 7.9 DAWN OF THE DEAD 2004 remake: 9 *NOTE ABOUT THE STARDUSTCOWBOY RATING SYSTEM: similar in many ways to the grading scale used at school. scores define a percentage. thus, a score of 10 out of 10 is 100% (an "A"); 9 out of 10 is 90% (still and "A"); 8 out of 10, 80% (a "B"); 7 out of 10, 70% (a "C"); 6 out of 10; 60% (a "D"); 5 out of 10, 50% (an "F"). so as you can see anything below a 5 is a failing grade. what this means to you, the ever-appreciative movie goer, is simply this - movies receiving a passing grade are USUALLY worth seeing in the movie theatre; while movies with a low pass or a fail might be better to see on DvD or VhS. my rule of thumb, however, is to only watch a film in the theatre if it has a rating of 8 or better. any film i see that has a rating of 4 or 5 i usually still enjoy somewhat, but revile it if i'm forced pay 10 bucks at the theatre for it. ratings lower than 4 are what i like to call "abherrations". films so vile, disgusting, and rediculous that even to rent one is sure to provoke only rage. when hearing me speak of films of this caliber you'll probably hear things like... "who the HELL gave this fuck-knob the money to make this pile of crap?!?" or "i could have filmed myself taking a shit on a piece of paper and made a better and more exciting film...at least THAT has a beginning, middle and end!" ...that sort of thing. anyway, enough of the rating crap. you make the decisions for yourself in the end. JUST REMEMBER, when you pay to see a movie in the theatre, you're basically VOTING on that director/studio. by throwing down the 10 bucks you're saying "hey, george lucas, please make another film of you jacking off on my face! PLEASE!" got it? good. on to other biz. i've decided that the world is too repressed to allow people to express themselves in productive, creative and healthy ways. our society pretty much states that there is only ONE WAY to live that is good and righteous. the sad fact of it is that probably only 4% of the population can ACTUALLY live that way. the remaining percent fall in the range of "tolerable deviance", "deviant", and "fucking-on-another-planet-deviant". "normal" people aren't really "normal". they have their little things too you know. ;-) point is, people who aren't "normal" or SEEMINGLY "normal" have no way to vent their frustrations, fears, and desires. they're forced to hold them in, lock them in the dark closet of their mind, and tell nary a soul of it. well, i'm done with that. and here's what i'm going to do to help: introducing, the NEW CONFESSIONAL. want a place to unload your negative feelings, fears, doubts, insecurities that is non-donominational? want to be able to express yourself without fear of judgement or reprimand? need someone to just listen? well everyone, you've got it. it's me. your dear narrator is now open to receiving confessionals at no cost, charge, or judgement to you. here's what to do. just fire up MSN instant messanger or download it from the internet and type in my screen name... (this e-mail SHOULD WORK NOW. it was inactive for over 2 months, but i just activated it today). if i'm online, just pop in and say... "it's been a while since my last confession" at which point i will respond with... "what weighs upon you so heavily?" then you proceed to tell me about your troubles or whatever. if you're mean to me i will block you for all eternity so keep it cool baby. then, when you're done, if you want advice then feel free to ask, but don't get pissy if i say things you don't necessarily want to hear. just my objective opinion. no more, no less. otherwise, i will simply acknowledge your confession and be on my way. you see? how easy is that? everything is in absolute and total confidence, and your secrets and such will die with me. so come on and hit me up. you'll feel much better i promise! that's about it for today everyone. be good out there, and stop by to chat sometime. until next time... licksucklicksuckfuck! ciao! ~B-) 10:27 a.m. - 2004-03-25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
