Evangelion 2.0 You Can (not) Advance (Review in Two Paragraphs)

I had the honor to attend the premiere of Evangelion 2.0 with my friend. Since through a website called the Anime News Network, we had won tickets to attend the screening. Being the typical Si-Fi anime complete with giant robots fighting against evil aliens-We were excitied.
Though I won't lie the movie did have some dissappointments.

Character concepts for Evangelion 2.0

Many questions were left unanswered, and new elements were introduced that were....interesting...and questionable. It leaves room for a sequel. LOTS OF ROOM!
Over all the movie was pretty good, but the ending is what threw me off, it was running smoothly but the ending...Was well, Confusing. This movie is coming from a multi billion dollar franchisee so Its not surprising that the ending would leave room for Evangelion 3.0
The affects are a much improvement from the anime and were pleasing to the eye. Choke full of fan service too and a small "shonen-ali" scene that will keep Those types of Fans happy. I would give this movie 5 beautiful shining stars,but as I said the "Ending" threw me off.
I won't say what it was, because thats no fun now is it?

Exactly!

Cheers

Technology-Good and Bad

There is one thing that annoys me: young children with expensive technology.

I've seen 2 year old kids with blackberry's, 3 year olds playing grand theft auto, 5 year olds surfing the Internet. Grade 3's on face book. 

There is also a digital copy commercial featuring a 7 year old kid with an Ipod Touch, they are making portable DVD players for five year olds.

If you think about it back in the `Good old days` When we were young we played pretend or played with stuffed toys or trains. These days kids play with video games, robotic toys, or Ìpods or electronics. It seems that being creative is being sucked out of this new generation.

 Now instead of the kids playing with the toys, The Toys play for themselves. Instead of of the toddler making train nosies, he presses a button and the train makes the noises for him.

There is too much technology for kids these days, Its not just available to teens anymore, its avaible to all children of all ages. The age is getting younger and younger. Boys don`t read comics anymore, they play video games.

According to ABC news`:
The average kid sponges in 2.5 hours of music each day, almost five hours of TV and movies, three hours of Internet and video games, and just 38 minutes of old-fashioned reading, according to a new study by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

That adds up to 75 hours of media every week. And that doesn't even include the hour and a half spent text messaging each day, and the half hour kids talk on the cell phone. 

It turns out members of the multitasking generation pays a price for their digital lives on their report cards. Among the heaviest media users, about half get C's or lower in school, while only a quarter of light users report bad grades. 

Technology has saved lives, but it can also be a bad thing, video games, sure they entertain you, but some of the new M rated ones teach little children how to use a gun! Perfect! For those of you who disagree explain how a video-game addicted teen who has never held a gun before can walk into the school and shoot a couple kids dead with perfect aim. How can he do it-hes done it plenty of times before in his game!

See technology can be good or bad. It can save lives-and also destroy them...
But are the companies that make these games going to do anything about it? No. Too much money to be lost!


What do you think of technology.

Eclispe-Move Review

Image via Wikipedia

To break down the movie Eclipse into a sentence:

A movie filled with 2 hours of nothing, and with a 15 minute battle scene. The movie was basically 2 hours and 15 minutes of Edward and Jacob fighting over the oh-so-dull and boring Bella.

Even the vampires and were wolfs betray an ancient boundary to you-guessed-it protect the wonderful Bella. In Breaking Dawn we are going to discover that she is the great Lunar Maiden sent to save humanity. If you look at it from a different perspective, Edward is a crazed psychopath-who is over protective of his "Bella" daring. 

I have the admit the special effects were good enough, It is annoying to see that its all about Bella, everyone loves her, they even decided to send an army to kill her!  Some parts were NOT realistic-even for a twilight movie, You know because 5 vampires can kill 50 vampires in a matter of seconds. In the movie it has your overdose of two teens kissing and talking to each other about their emotions. 

And Don't get me started about the acting! The acting was as scary as Robert Patterson is. (Scary) You would think they picked up the kids off the street. 

There is also the storyline, The rock hard skin of the vampires becomes breakable glass, it seems that it is a quicker process to make vampires, you don't have to burn them anymore!

Bella's Slaves+Over controlling boyfriend+Bad acting+The girl who seems to be some sort of god+Crazy Redhead+big round black circle=Eclipse

Won't Bella just die already?

SuperHeroes

Have you ever wondered what the most popular Superheros are? Well...Here is the answer.

1. Super man

Copyright DC Comics

Superman is comic book history. Without Superman, the first big comic book superhero, we might not have had Spider-Man, Batman, and the others. Due to the success of Superman, other comics companies pushed making superheroes and to that, Superman is owed a huge debt. Decades later, Superman is still going strong, with a movie in the works, multiple titles to choose from, and a hit TV show. The Man of Steel is certainly on top in terms of historical importance, abilities, and current popularity.

2. Spider Man

Copyright Marvel Comics

What Spider-Man lacked in ability, he made up in heart. The wall-crawler is one of the first of many true to life superheroes and because of this, Spider-Man has become loved and adored by fans the world over. Spider-Man is Marvel comic’s number one superhero, with legions of fans, blockbuster films, and many hot comics to read.
3. Batman

Copyright DC Comics

There is something about the dark brooding sense of Batman that intrigues people. Or maybe its Batman’s alter-ego, millionaire Bruce Wayne, that people wish they had more in common with. Maybe the reason so many people identify with him is that Batman has no truly supernatural powers. Any one of us could be Batman Whatever the case, Batman has struck a chord with fans around the world. The Dark Knight is hugely popular with a multiple hit movies and many different comic titles to choose from.


4. Wolverine

Copyright Marvel Comics

Next to Spider-Man, Wolverine is certainly one of Marvel comic’s most popular superheroes. He was pretty much the focus of the X-Men movies and helped make a star out of Hugh Jackman. Wolverine has quickly risen to the top of the X-Men as the fans most favorite character and considering how many characters there are to choose from, that’s no small task. He can be seen in his own comic as well as The X-Men comics and The New Avengers.


5. The Hulk

Copyright Marvel Comics

Many people can relate to unleashing their rage. The Hulk has been a large part of Marvel’s rise to stardom and fans all over have enjoyed the intense action and emotion that The Hulk exudes. One reason fans resonate so well with The Hulk is that we all get angry and so many of us can relate to wanting to release the rage within us, something The Hulk is all to well known for. A hit movie and another on the way, video games, his own comic, cartoons, and toys make The Hulk truly a heavy hitter.

6. Wonder Women

The World’s most well-known female superhero has been through many different incarnations throughout history. She had a popular TV show, has her own comic book, and has a spot on the Justice League of America. Wonder Woman is a character that girls and women can look up to and be proud of. All told, Wonder Woman is one of comic books greats.

7. Green Lantern

Copyright DC Comics

The Green Lantern is a huge cornerstone of the DC universe. Green Lantern has had a huge resurgance as of late. The relaunch of the series, the re-establishing of the Corps, and the return of Hal Jordan has made Green Lantern shoot up onto the list of top superheroes. Who could ask for more? With a movie in the works, a spot on the Justice League, and multiple comics make Green Lantern a hot item.

8. Captain America

Copyright Marvel Comics

The symbol of America has long touched the hearts and minds of free people everywhere. Captain America stands for all that America should be; noble, strong, hard-working, just, and honest. With these qualities, Captain America easily makes it on the list as one of the top comic book characters.

9. Spawn

Copyright Image Comics

Todd McFarlane’s creation has become the most popular independent comic book character. A movie, cartoons, comics, and toys have made Spawn one of the hottest commodities in a while. Although his popularity may have waned in recent years, the accomplishments of this character are hard to ignore. The success of Spawn has paved the way for other independent comics, showing you don’t have to be part of DC or Marvel to make it big.
10. Punisher

Copyright Marvel Comics

The Punisher is one of the first “anti-heroes”, or a hero that doesn’t always act as nice as we would like. The Punisher started the ball rolling for the darker side of comics, and when comics like The Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns made the genre even more popular, the Punisher fit right in. Thanks to the Punisher, comics have been able to explore their darker side. Whether that is good or not is up to you.

Who's your favourite super hero? Mine Personally is Wolverine and X-23. X-23 isn't really heard of. But if your interested...

If I had to choose...X-23 would win me over, What I like is it shows that not every hero is always a hero, Sometimes they don't know what is right and wrong. Not all are born with powers some are given going through torture. It tells you not all superheros grew up like Superman. Some were once assassins or had a hard past. In the series, Mutants are "outcasts" hated by the people they save.

Who's your favourite and why?

Just For Fun:
New "Hero" Movies coming out.
X-men Org ins wolverine 2
Iron Man 2
Captain America (Played by Fantastic Four's Johnny Storm)
Thor.
These are all "Actor" movies and not the animated cartoon ones.

Maximum Ride The Movie

The Hit Book series, is becoming a movie. This is NOT a rumor. The Two Charcters Max and Fang have already been cast. Plus the producer is the same guy who produced X-men, Iron Man, And Spider Man. It is being directed by the same person who directed Twilight:
According to Wikipedia it is to be realeased in 2010. Or 2013.
In January 2007, it was announced that a film would be created based on the Maximum Ride^[14] Avi Arad, one of the producers of Spider-Man, X-Men and other Marvel movies, will also produce alongside Steven Paul.^[14][15][16] On August 7, 2008, it was announced that Columbia Pictures bought the screen rights to the franchise. The film is currently slated for an early to mid 2010 release.^[17]Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight) will direct the first movie, with Don Payne (Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer) writing the script.^[14] In January 2010 it was announced that the film will go into pre-production as the film's director Catherine Hardwicke asked for a script rewrite as she wanted more action to Maximum Ride, making a 2010 release unlikely.^{[citation needed]}. According to IMDB, the film won't be out until 2013. series. James Patterson will be the executive producer. In an interview with James Patterson, it was revealed that Arad has already planned out the first two movies.


A known saying being: The Producers say it all! Makes it that this movie will be an action packed one like the Marvels and not one with 10 year old girls going I'm the biggest fan when they haven't even heard of the books. (Twilight)

Are you excitied for the movie? I don't know about you But I am a HUGE Maximum ride fan!

Warriors Movie?

Fire Alone can Save Our Clan. Spotted Leaf Told BlueStar.

"How Can Fire, Something that destroys can save?" Bluestar questioned.
"I don't know. It's in the paws of StarClan." Spotted leaf said.

If you've read the Warriors Series By Erin Hunter, You know how the Clan was saved by "Fire."

It looks a bit boring. But, It isn't! You feel like you are there. Me and Teko. Even being to old to play games created adventures in the woods, Stopping Tigerstar. Don't you think this exciting series should become a........
MOVIE?

If you say No. Pick up the books and read them!

I think it would be a great movie....
Great News!
It Might Be!
The Truth is The Erins have been talking with Major Movie Producers. So It's not confirmed but there MIGHT be a movie. I hope so! Also Vicky, (A Erin or producer) Is writing an early age set of the script. Don't hold your breath!

The movie doesn't have a cast yet. And we don't know if there will be one. Plus if they start making it SOON,, It might now come up til two years.
I don't think you can hold your breath that long...

What are your thoughts? Do you think There should be A warriors movie or not?

Movie Or Not? Also More News, In less than A MONTH! A new Warriors book shall be coming out: Omen of the Stars: Fading Echos!

Movie or Not?

How Japan Promotes Movies

How Japan Is Way better than us at Tech! Here is how they advertised for the movie Water Horse!
Your a Japan Tourist walking down the streets with some shopping bags. (You couldn't resist that stuffed dog, Made in Japan =^.^=)
Then you stop to look at a pond, out of the pond made of water rises a huge loch ness monster. You Stop To Gasp, Other People just walk by, This is their usual Movie Advertisements! Who Cares if there is a huge 50 ft water creature made of water in front of you? This is how they do advertisements COOL EH? This calls for cool cat thing! I love doing it! =^.^= That's the mama Cat, Here's the Baby Cat =^.^= Here's the daddy cat =^.^= That is so fun! Back to Important Stuff!
It is rumored that the Water Horse may be more than just an advertisement!
Some Experts say it may be able to have a "Mind of it's own Because Two of the sprinklers are broken!" Which means it is now shut down for improvement how does that have any connection?
But What if? What If the Water Ate Scum Gum? Would it get powers?

Harry Potter Hits the Big Screen

Harry Potter just hit the Big Screen with his New movie: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
It's not a movie I would see. Look at him. Look at Harry Potter, He never smiles in that photo he just farted and his face is still Serious. See that is His Serious Farting Face.
Anyway, I should not be making fun of his Farting Face because every one has a different Farting Face.
Anyway, at the Permeire of the New Harry Potter Movie: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
Harry Potter rode in on his Fart powered broomstick. (with his serious fart face of course) and was carrying his DVD of the Harry Potter Movie: The Half Blood Prince. Then with the DVD he hit the big screen and slammed right into it. Harry Potter was not embarrassed at all. People just looked at him and blocked their noses. (Blocking it from the smell) Plus, Harry Potter has a big nose.
I don't get Harry Potter anyway? Seriously? How can a Prince be half blooded?
I think he would die very quickly. Harry Potter farted again ( A big one) and flew off.
When is he going to graduate from High School anyway. IF he has saved the world like 100 times. At the End of the movie, I interviewed some of the "fans"
"Har-ry Pot-ter." One man said and laughed.
"I like Harry Potter and all, but you y'all know he should wear some cologne you know?" A teenage girl flying a red kite said.
Out of 5 Stars. I would rate it 2.4 times better than the first one. And 7.0 Times better than the 18th one.
Anyway I would rate it 0 stars since I have only seen commercials!
This Is Neko reporting. Teko is a big Harry Potter Fan...
So she would not like me saying mean stuff about Harry Potter's Serious Fire Face and Nose.
One last thing.
Harry Potter has a weird nose. :D
