Obsession
Published February 20, 2011 | 
I will never understand teen obsessions/idols. I never had a time where I was so obsessed with anything that I ended up bawling cause it didn’t win an award or someone said they didn’t like it and thought it was stupid. That just… blows my mind! Are these kids priorities in life so low that that’s all they think about? 
Like this video. WHAT THE?!! It’s just one of many. Ok even if I don’t like the kid, and will never understand what people see in him… how can anyone be so obsessed with a person they will probably never meet, will never have any kind of relationship with, who doesn’t even know they exist? What IS the point? Is it people have so little to do with their life that they turn to obsessing over other people? I just don’t grasp this. It just seems, to me, that it gets worse and worse as time goes on and society “progresses”. Maybe I just need to find more examples, older ones. I know of ones going back to woodstock etc, but early 1900′s or maybe the 1800′s? Did young people do this crap too? Or did they have more respect for themselves and others as a whole?
It’s also sad to see people who get so obsessed and lost in their fantasies that they actually start to think it’s real. They alter themselves to become what they want from their fantasy. Like the Tiger Man. Ok you love tigers, but uh… why the surgeries and such? Be happy you are what you are. You were made to be human, enjoy being human. I hate the line a lot of people give of “oh humans are just disgusting animals, they don’t deserve to be looked at any better than animals”. You ARE a human. The only “animal” that can read, write and think logically. The only “animal” with the ability to know right from wrong, though society tries to blur those lines pretty badly these days.
It feels like these last few decades people get so caught up in popular culture and their fantasies that they lose site of who they really are and let their obsessions take them over. Just doing a random search brings up so many examples. Maybe it’s just that now the internet brings it more to the spotlight, or is it more prevalent and shows up more often now than it once did?… I dunno. Opinions?
Attack of the SFX!
Published August 12, 2010 | 
I recently was reminded of a horrible movie I watched a couple years ago, this film is called “Attack of the Sabertooth”. It’s reputation online, worst special effects ever. I really cannot find anything to compare to this movie. B grade film? How about Z grade movie? If they would ever go that low on the ranking scale. It’s awful. We, my husband and I, were lured into watching it because the cover looked really cool. *whispers* It’s a lie….
This movie was like a lamewad rip off of Jurrasic Park, stupid scientist guy wants to build a park for sabers so people can pay him yadda yadda. Well the sabers go mad and start to eat people. *gasp* Didn’t see that one coming! This movie is SO bad it’s funny, it’s so bad that I actually enjoyed watching it just to see how bad it could get. The “special effects” are so absolutely terrible that it made the movie enjoyable to a certain extent. Not to mention the bad acting. The deaths were so fake, one guy starts screaming and it almost sounds like he’s trying not to laugh. They never really explain things in the movie once the cats start killing either, and the end… well it just ends. It’s one of those “…wait that’s it?” moments.
I found some of the great highlight clips of this movie on youtube.
Just run through some of those clips, the best one being near the end when this giant golden statue that looks like it was conceived in Windows Paint, thrown into picture it to make it look shiny, then motioned tweened in flash. You can see the actor trying to hold still to wait for the giant tooth to come crashing down on him. Most shots you can see the actors just stand there like durrrr there’s a special effect coming, mustn’t move or we might make it hard on the sfx crew.
I would say if you’re looking for a horrible movie to shoot rubberbands at the tv screen on, check this one out. It’s just so horrible, I have to share it with the world. This movie ranks a 9.5 on my epically bad movie-o-meter. Yes believe it or not there are still ones out there worse than this…which I might post about later.
