Weekends
They're fantastic right?
I mean, what other day can I wake up at 10:30 and think, 'Ah, I missed school--oh wait, weekend!' and fall back asleep for another hour and a half.
Seriously, whoever made these things is a genius.
Anyway, real-blog-entry-#1! My aunt's in town for a few weeks, and we watched Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland last night. We watched the first twenty minutes or so of Edward Scissorhands first--also Burton--before switching to AiW. And man, that man is a genius. It's not downright scary to watch a Burton movie--it's haunting. It's disturbing. Unnatural. Everything seems so...off. My aunt and I may have put it into words, even if it's a bit vague. Everything, in a Tim Burton movie, is always either completely perfect--and therefore anything nonessential is not included--or so close to perfect, but there's a revealing inch away from perfection. For example, in Edward Scissorhands, the houses are small and virtually empty. Every item is used, and every item that wouldn't be used were it in the movie isn't even in the movie. In AiW, dialogue includes only exactly what needs to be said. Colors are so unnaturally vivid and real, and the effect is simply disturbing. Perfection puts us off.
Needless to say, it was a fantastic movie, even the second time around. See it, if you haven't.
So if you got this far, I've got a question for you guys. My premiership purchase, as I'm sure you know, got me a proto boost. What's your guys' opinion on this? Do you think these proto boosts should be handed out for this purchase? Does a member deserve to be an OBZPC for only purchases of premiership? What do you think?
