Things that piss me off #1

This past weekend i saw two movies.
The Expendables and
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

...and the award for the best action film goes to...

Scott Pilgrim by a long shot.

The Reasoning?

Well way way back in the 2007 Paul Greengrass gave us the finale to the Bourne Trilogy, a film witch contained camera work unlike anything we had ever seen, and i will admit, it was pretty fantastic at the time, heck it even won an academy award for editing.

but seriously, i am so sick of this whole shaky cam method of filming every action sequence, you can't even see whats going on.

Which is why it was so astonishing to see such wonderful directing by the likes of Edgar Wright (Spaced, Shaun of the Dead). You actually get to see the fight scenes! I could cry it was so beautiful. Punches being landed. Reactions being seen. Head not spinning. Vomit not spewing.

Go see Scott Pilgrim.

and if you don't like it.
I don't like you.

Strung out like these christmas lights

Everything is Over
Everything is Beginning

Once upon a time i was walking home with Anna, right around the time she had broken up with a certain jerk.
During this walk i was listing off guys she could use as a rebound.
I eventually came to Jordan.
Turns out you should never tell a girl that a specific boy is too good for her.
So in rebellion Anna started dating this boy.
and she proved me wrong.
he's not too good for her.
he's perfect for her.
and she for him.

and so no more will I skip choir practice to talk to Anna in her office.
and no more will i delay practicing guitar to talk to Jordan in the hallway.
but i think it is to their credit to say
that the chagrin of nostalgia does not out way
the absolute joy in knowing they will live out the rest of their days
together.
