S&N: Being New 4

Each drop of water was picked up by my ears and I could tell which ones hit Samara's body. A human would be forced to rush in and surround herself into her. By the non-erotic sounds that came out of Samara's mouth, I could tell that she was disappointed. In the human part of my mind, I was angry for not joining her.


"You're jealous." Samara finally said from inside the shower.


"I can't be jealous." I replied. "Besides, your faithfulness to me is all but assured."


"Then you're angry that Mark seems to think he is better for me than you."


I thought about that for a moment. "Yes, that would be correct."


"What about the others?" She asked and I could tell, by her movements, that she was trying to get me inside.


"Rebecca should've stuck with her singing career. She has the looks for it." I replied.


Samara laughed. "Her younger sister was the one to get her into Karma."


Yes, Martha. The files I had been given showed her to be a very good soldier. Rebecca was the only family member that knew she was alive now.


"Martha and Stewart are the only ones I'd trust." I finally said. "But Stewart follows Mark and Martha follows Rebecca. Both who don't trust me."


Sam got out of the shower and started to dry off with a towel. "Thanks for protecting me." She said and threw a smile at me.


"It's the least I could do." I said and guided Samara downstairs.


Once we neared the kitchen I could hear the team talking. Mark had finished saying something and the others laughed. From their laughter it must've been a good joke. Once Mark caught my eye he nodded at me.


I could tell he was trying to hide his hate, but it wasn't working. Not for me at least.


"You want something to eat?" Martha asked and I smiled.


"Just coffee." I replied and she started to go to the coffee maker.


"Don't, it's not good for her systems." Samara replied. Once she entered Mark's sights I could see blood rush to a certain part of his body. I thought briefly about kicking that body part.


"Machines don't need to eat or drink, Martha, it's what makes them dangerous." Mark reprimanded Martha.


"It's good to treat it like a team member." Stewart replied. "M-4s have human minds as well as AI. For all purposes, it is still a thinking creature like humans."


Mark replied with a nod that was as emotionless as steel.


Samara walked behind me to go to the kitchen. She had walked close enough behind me to alert all of my sensors. Rebecca just looked at me. She had been silent the entire time.


"Have you found anything?" I asked. Trying to keep civil.


"Yes," Mark replied. "There is an M-1 in a police station close by. We should steal it."


"What do you think, my love?" I asked Samara.


Sam paused as she realized I was just trying to anger Mark. "It sounds like the best option at this point."


"You know why we're doing this?" Rebecca finally asked.

"Of course," I replied. "I wasn't made yesterday. An M-1 would help us spy on Playful Ballet easier. And you humans need all the help you can get."


Samara didn't react to my last sentence. She knew I was attacking in the only way that wouldn't leave a physical mark.

Let's Play Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Part 13)

This is where I realize what I've been doing wrong for the past three parts.

Let's Play Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Parts 10-12)

My long awaited return to the town of Silent Hill has finally happened!


Alert: George W. Bush Guilty of War Crimes

I'm posting this merely to bring attention to it. It doesn't surprise me, though.

The Avengers (2012)

Title: The Avengers

Series: The Avengers

Type: Crossover (big time!)

Director: Joss Whedon (is our god!)

Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson

Rated: PG-13

Released: 2012

Personal Rating: 5/5

Oscars: N/A

Basic Plot: Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. brings together a team of super humans to form The Avengers to help save the Earth from Loki and his army.

Team Work Matters
Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer had a team work message. Well, right up until the final fight. The Avengers, however, keeps the whole team work message going all the way through. At first all The Avengers don't work well with each other (excluding Iron Man and the Hulk's bromance) and so have to learn quickly or else the Earth is destroyed. While it comes down to Iron Man saving the day, he couldn't have done it if the team didn't function as a whole.

Loki is Awesome
Heroes are great, but without a villain they are useless. Loki is a great villain. He is sure of himself and thinks everyone else is below him (he learned a little lesson when talking down to the Hulk, though). I can't deny I'm biased because I'm a fan of the Norse God Loki.

The 3D
While I've heard that the 3D for this movie is the post-production variety, it ain't half bad. I hate 3D but didn't mind it this time. Though if you're on a budget, I don't think missing the 3D will harm the experience.

Final Thoughts
This left me very happy (though I found out I missed the final end credit scene, as I thought the one with Thantos was it). The acting was superb and any faults were easily pushed to the back of my mind. There is eye candy for those that like girls and guys (the slight up and down motion of Johansson's twins). The effects help add to the story instead of taking away from it. I like that the threat was real and it was dealt with while paving the way for a bigger threat. All in all, you can't miss this Summer Movie.
