I'm serious about you not getting an effing Oscar is what.
I don't care if you write for the Rolling Stones. Anyone who claims that Heath Ledger deserves to receive an Academy Award posthumously for playing the Joker in The Dark Knight is an asshole. A pompous, pretentious asshole who probably knows as little of who the Joker is as Ledger did, which is why he wouldn't have known shit as to whether it was a loyal performance or not. Oh golly gee wow, if People.Com's most blurbed writer says so, then it must be true!
I don't know what it is with Hollywood and these critics who condemn the ostentation of the Oscars, then double back to cite them to emphasize just how awesome [INSERT OBJECT OF PRAISE EQUIVALENT OF BLOWJOB HERE] is. We're all in awe of insane character roles like they're some great challenge to the actor or something, when we're too far up our own asses to even make the distinction of what makes it such a prize role in the first place. No, we just assume acting insane must be difficult, which it is, when most of the time people playing them are content with making some shit up as they go along about what they think being mad is without any sort of reference. Just because the role calls for crazy, we assume that eliminates the need for a thoroughly fleshed out, real personality, as if insanity in all its forms can be bracketed together as one homogenous blob. Oh, well, they're out of their mind, that's their thing.
I'm glad the film is garnering so much good reviews, I really am. But I'm sure somewhere in those two and a half hours we can find something else to love about it besides the convenient reference to How Awesomegasm Heath Ledger Is On Account Of Him Being Dead And All. It's a little too late to be bending over backwards to be kissing the dude's ass.
Is Sarah Michelle Gellar still attached to this project? How did she get involved in the beginning?
SF: Sarah is not currently attached to the project. Her initial involvement was the result of a very talented and effective member of her management team who became aware of the project and pursued on Sarah’s behalf.
So much for Gellar's bullshit “It's still my project, and I'm still working diligently. So to all those Alice fans, I'm not giving up. Because I believe there is such a beautiful, crazy, cool, twisted story to be told there.” I hear the director, Marcus Nispel, drew out of the project too. I'm sorry what American McGee was worried about came true (following our exchange of testy emails), but I'm actually kind of relieved. I'm beginning to think it's never going to push through at this point, but maybe it's for the best. I'd rather not see this movie made at all if she was just going to screw it up anyway.
I'm barely content with how my page looks now, but I suppose it's an improvement over the last one. Neater, I think. Whatever. My Photoshop skils can only do so much.
Ooh, I think we're going to get hoodies for the Guidon! Special Training and Development hoodies! Yay! That made my day just a bit brighter. Now, I dunno, I gotta work extra, sickeningly hard. Because I want that jacket, goddamn it.
Also, I think I forgot to mention before that I passed the NLTSGO (It's a mouthful -- National Leadership Training Seminar for Government Officers) for student leaders. First time faci! I'm so excited. Free trip to Baguio and everything. Missing school is going to be a bitch, especially since that'll still count as a cut in Sir Strebel's class, I'm sure. But s'okay. Read up on the material.
And some more stuff I'm going to be attending:
Aww I wish I could go. Damn overlapping schedules!
First. I have a crush on the bassist playing in the band behind Miley in her video, '7 Things'. The one with the long hair and the crazy dancing. Who is he?! And why does he vaguely remind me of Doc Hammer?
Second. I caught Mike Sinterniklaas online. Um. So, did he just give me the brush-off?
Before anything else, it must be said: Ew. And judging form the online reception, the commenters apparently have a sharper wit than half the people on staff at TV5 if they were deluded enough to make a local adaptation of Gossip Girl. As one thoroughly disgusted Filipino aptly put it: "Hello!!! San naman ang Upper East Side ng Pilipinas?!"
my long weekend is pretty boring. i can't go out coz i'm grounded and i haven't done my homework yet...maybe later...but i might as well cram it on tuesday morning. :))
