Okay, I think it's fairly obvious now that I LOVED this movie. Below is a top ten list of my favorite parts. If you've seen Inglourious Basterds, do let me know what parts you liked!


1. "Bonjourno" - Seriously, the way Brad Pitt says this line made me laugh so hard. Honestly, I think that little pun is actually my favorite part of the movie.

2. The very end, when Aldo Raine carves the swastika on Hans Landa's forehead. Not only does he deliver the perfect final line of the movie (I think this just may be my masterpiece), but he brands the character that I despised the most with a mark that will forever put him in a living nightmare. Perfect.

3. I really enjoyed Melanie Laurent's performance of Shosanna Dreyfus. When she encounters Hans Landa at the restaurant after her killed her family, and she breaks down in tears when he leaves, that really struck a chord with me.

4. The very beginning/the first chapter. It was SO incredibly sad, but it really set the scene and made you hate Hans Landa (and can I say what a fantastic job Christoph Waltz did with that part? I mean he REALLY makes you hate him). Also, I enjoyed the acting of Denis Menochet of Perrier LaPadite. When he cries and breaks down and confesses that he's hiding a Jewish family so that his family will live...I really felt for him.

5. The relationship between Shosanna and Marcel. It was so sweet, especially because it was forbidden for an interracial couple to be together. Yet, it was so sweet and pure, and the fact that they died together made it all the more sad but beautiful.

6. Eli Roth as Donny Donowitz. Seriously, he was awesome. "Fuck a duck!"

7. B. J. Novak as Smithson Utivitch. Not only do I adore him from 'The Office', he was perfect for his role. "The German people's nickname for me is 'The Little Man'?!?"

8. Hans Landa's pipe. Seriously wtf? It made me laugh out loud.

9. "You'll be shot for this outrage!"
"No, I'll be chewed out. I've been chewed out before!" - Enough said.

10. "You said it was a tavern!"
"It is a tavern."
"Yeah, in a basement. You know, fightin' in a basement offers a lot a difficulties. Number one being, you're fightin' in a basement!" - LOL

So, there's my top ten reasons why I loved Inglourious Basterds. If you haven't seen it yet, and it's your kind of film, go see it - you'll love it. If you have seen it, feel free to tell me if you liked it or not, or what your favorite parts were.

What I Didn't Like:

First and foremost, all that Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione bullcrap. Seriously, it clouded most of the film. Some might say that I'm biased because I'm a Harry/Hermione shipper, but really, it's just common sense. The two couples are just terrible. Take Ron/Hermione for example. It's totally an abusive relationship. All they do is fight, fight, fight. And on the off chance that they're not fighting, they're not speaking to each other. Don't get me wrong, I suppose they can be a good contrast as friends, but for a romantic relationship? Seriously - no. As for Harry/Ginny, they are completely unsuited. Ginny "fell in love" with Harry before she even met him. What, then, does that make her? A FANGIRL. Does she know anything besides the name "The Boy Who Lived"? No. And she never really gets a chance to know Harry. Sure, they dated for about a month, but then, he breaks up wit her. So all she really knows about Harry is what she's read and/or heard about him, and a month of dating. And suddenly they're in love? Please. Don't insult the reader's/viewer's intelligence. If you like these ships, that's fine, I'm not saying you are wrong to like them. All I'm doing is pointing out the major flaws and plotholes of these supposed "ideal" relationships.

Ginny. I am so tired of being bashed over the head about how she's so "smart, funny, sporty, beautiful", etc. When did she become these things? Overnight? As I recall, she was quiet, mousy, let herself take orders from a talking book (when her father had flat out told her not to trust anything that talks when you don't know where it keeps its brain), obviously lacked common sense, and was never described as attractive until now. But, then *BOOM*! There she is, in all her shining glory, being the most perfect character in the history of writing. But wait, have we all forgotten how she trails boys along, then dumps them one after another all before her 16th birthday? Or how she treats other people around her by yelling and snapping at them? Yet, SOMEHOW, someone always seems to be saying something wonderful and lovely about her. For goodness sakes. I don't exactly like the term "Mary-Sue", but if there ever was one, Ginny Weasley would be it.

Hermione hexing Cormac on Ron's behalf. I know this was in the book, but still, it bugs me. It's just WAY out of character.

The interaction between Bonnie Wright and Daniel Radcliffe. It just seemed way too forced.

Shoelace. WTF was that? Random, much? Not mention any innuendo that followed.

"Close your eyes, close your eyes". Just the way she said it...I don't know. It felt very creepy.

The lack of screen time for Remus and Tonks. Those guys are cool - show them!

The dead bird scene.

What I Did Like:

Before I even say it, I know all of you out there who hate Harry/Hermione would hate this part, so just ignore it. Anyway, I loved the interaction and relationship between Harry and Hermione. It wasn't forced, it wasn't stiff, and it wasn't bland. In fact, it was all very clear that they're relationship is one of the strongest in the series. Even if they quarrell at times, they never intentionally hurt each other's feelings. And if they do, they apologize and make up shortly after.

The canary scene. Again, I loved the relationship between Harry and Hermione. It so pure and sweet, and just beautiful.

The hospital scene. Although I don't like Ron/Hermione, I did enjoy Hermione staying by Ron's side, like a good FRIEND would do.

The music. The entire soundtrack was gorgeous. Every scene fit perfectly well with the music.

Neville at Slughorn's party. He's just so adorabley funny. :3

Evanna Lynch as Luna Lovegood. I absolutely adore her and the character she portrays. She's always spot on. I only wish we could have seen more of her in this film.

Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix LeStrange. FTW SHE'S SO FUNNY. For example, when she was dancing around after she set Hagrid's hut on fire? Made me giggle like crazy.

Tom Felton's performance. I know a lot of people have been waiting for more scenes with him, and I'm glad that that finally happened.

Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. I know many people have a problem with her, but I don't, and I honestly can't see why they do. She really did quite well in this movie, and I'm glad she got the part.

The lighting. It enchanced every scene perfectly.

There's something wrong with my computer. I think it has a virus or something. I'm updating from my mom's computer. I really don't want to have to sweep the whole harddrive again. I have a lot of stuff on their that I need for this site. I would pack it all into a .zip file and send it to myself, only whatever is messing my computer up doesn't let me get that far before it freezes up. Argh, I hate crap like this. Why did people invent computer viruses? I can see governments making them so they can tap into other government programs and trash like that. But why would some 40-something-year old blob create a computer virus just for the fun of it? See, that's what happens to those kids who are always the targets in dodgeball. Mark my words, be nice to the quite and/or nerdy kids. To quote the cartoon Hey Arnold, "Never trust the silent ones. They're the ones that will end up holding dodgeballs hostage in the principal's office".

(God is love)

As for theatre, things are going really well. I've been able to help out a lot backstage since I can't be involved with acting because it conflicts with my driver's ed. But, working backstage is great, although rather difficult. Last night, it was just me and one other guy working the lights, tech, and voice overs, and by the time the play was over, we were exhausted. Seriously, it's a lot of hard work. But still, I love it. Speaking of which, tomorrow, after my driver's ed, there's another performance that I have to help out with, so that promises to be anything but boring. Again, thanks to all my friends and readers. ♥

I do henna tattoos, so she might want me to do them since it would be free instead of having to pay a lot for a professional. We're not quite sure yet. But so far, it's bound to be a great party.

My mom finally got the program that I'm going to be using for my schooling. I want to refer to it as home school, but it's still credit to my school, so it's not quite the same. Speaking of my school, my mom needs my transcript from them so I can start this bloody program, but they haven't sent it out yet. She asked about 4 days ago. I dunno. It's just rather frustrating. Also, I'm taking driver's ed which starts in just a few days. Luckily it's only two days a week, but it's for almost two months. It's worth it, though. I f I don't have to take the driver's test at the dmv, it will be amazing. Plus, it gets me a better insurance policy. So yeah. That's about all that's happening around here. So I'll blog later.

Just let me say before I get into this blog that the photo that will be displayed is from the very, very talented Crissy of DearCrissy.com.



Has it really come to this? Has it really gotten this bad? Look at this photograph: here.



Does that man not understand what kind of message that sends? Does he not understand that the people who got caught up in all of this bullshit have feelings, emotions, families, friends, lives, cultures, and opinions, too? What on God's green earth does he think he's doing? First of all, it's obvious that he's too dumb to realise that Allah means God, just translated into a different language - IT'S THE SAME GOD YOU MORON!!! Plus, does he really think that is what God wants? For him to say something like that? Sure, he's definately entitled to his opinion, but that is just completely ignorant and disgraceful. I swear, people go and pull that kind of shit and wonder why the whole world hates the Untied States. Maybe because the only half of our population that ever gets a chance to speak is legally retarded! And people wonder why Americans are viewed as insensitive, fat pigs. That photo tells it all. For anyone who is in a different country or culture, please know that we are not all like that. The majority of us really are humane and understanding. And I really am very sorry that our country abuses it's power by mocking and abusing others and their ways of life.



If anyone was offended by this, fine. I really don't care. You're welcome to leave any comments or thoughts about this if you want to, but just know that the entire world can not be wrong. I am honestly expecting the United States to come to a great fall, probably like that of Ancient Rome. And, when it happens, I seriously doubt that the other countries that we have spent so much time abusing and mocking will care. I'm not saying I hate the United States, because that is far from the truth. I love the freedoms that we have, and I love that most people can lead good lives here. But, what I really don't like, and what I'm ranting about, is how this country openly tells all the others that "we're the best", and how incredibely inconsiderate and ignorant many of the inhabitants really are to the outside world.

So woot.

I desperately want a camera. Even a disposable camera would work - I could do some photo manipulations. I adore photography, and I would seriously LOVE to put some up here. I would also be bale to take some pictures of my ceramic works (if I ever got around to finishing any ).
