End of the World is BS (Mayan Edition)

Guess what? The end of the world isn't going to happen! The Mayan calender doesn't predict the end of the world this year! It only says that this year a new cycle will start!

SourceFed does a great job at telling the facts!

Camerah (October) Commentary + Pic (5/10/2012)

I give a commentary on my FMV Camerah (October) and show a funny picture.

The Muppets (2011)

Title: The Muppets

Series: The Muppets

Director: James Bobin

Starring: Amy Adams, Jason Segel, and Chris Cooper

Rated: PG

Released: 2011

Personal Rating: 5/5

Oscars: 1

Basic Plot: With the help of three fans, The Muppets must reunite to save their old theater from a greedy oil tycoon.

Original Plot
What I find interesting is that originally Kermit pretended to be the oil tycoon to get The Muppets back together. HOWEVER, this makes no sense. Why the fuck would Kermit do this? I am very glad that they decided to change this. That's just not the dark road a Muppet movie should go down.

Casting Is Fantastic
I knew a good majority of the actors (even those who made cameos) and was glad they got into the movie. While an actor does not write a movie, the casting just made the movie ten times better. Jason Segel's love of puppets made me see this movie in a greater light. Only thing is that no Frank Oz made me a little sad.

Lessons of Growing Up/Apart
At the center of this film is Walter and Gary's relationship. What makes this so moving is that everyone can relate to this. The point in your life where you and your friends move apart. Not because you hate each other, but that's because that's the way life is. Even the closet friends have to stop spending so much time with each other as time goes on. This was one of my favorite aspects of the movie.

Final Thoughts
This is a must see for Muppet fans and those who love comedy. There are so many jokes (the fourth wall jokes being especially funny to me) that telling them all would ruin the movie. I was laughing the whole way through. The cameos were very well done (such as Neil Patrick Harris).

Camerah (October)

Series: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Pairing: Sarah Connor and Cameron

Type: Non-Canon

Plot: Cameron finally admits to her feelings for Sarah Connor. She admits that she can't function without Sarah.

S&N: Being New 2

I looked up at Kered's face as he patched me up. I wished that he had only tested my chip, but I did see the reasoning behind checking out my whole body. The Net was sneaky. Hell, they had to be since they were up against Karma. Up against people like Kered.


I didn't get up when Kered finished. I could hear anything he said to Samara so there was no point. From Kered's footsteps I didn't detect worry. However, neither I nor The Net was familiar with any of the Elementals. The Net had the most information about Kered, but that wasn't saying much.


"She's safe." Kered said, though his voice indicated that he didn't like this. It seemed that some part of his mind just wanted to kill me. "Tell your Machine to get dressed."


Without looking at anyone I walked upstairs to Samara and my room. I put on the clothes that were on the bed. I walked back downstairs, sat at the kitchen table, and looked at Kered.


"So, Earth, does that mean I'm now a member?" I asked.


Showing the calmness of an Elemental, he only nodded.


"I also called you here for another reason." Samara said.


"I guessed as much." Kered replied.


"It's about Playful Ballet."


"That little place?" He asked. "There have been rumors but nothing ever came of it."


"I don't think that anyone from Karma wants to seem to have any class." I joked. The slight smile from Samara's lips was enough payoff. I had thought I might have to go on the run and we were both glad I could stay.


"Anyways, we have proof." Samara said. "Nazilla found something like an M-1 in their security system."


"Have you seen this yourself or is it only rumors?" Kered asked.


"I have seen it." I replied. "I can confirm it."


"Right." Kered said. I realized making him trust me would mean more than a few loyalty tests.


"I believe that the threat level is high enough to warrant an investigation." Samara said.


"If you both think it is a threat, then I will send an investigation team to assist you." Kered decided. "Hopefully it will turn out to be nothing. But hope hasn't helped us in the war yet."


As Kered left, both Samara and I escorted him out. As I shut the door I realized neither of us had told him about Glau. That said something about our relationship that we would hide a key bit of information that could help in the fight against The Net, just so we could still make love without doubt.
