Some quick housecleaning business: so treating my blog like a diary/journal is way too intimidating, hence the lack of postage. So here is my solution--I write about movies I've seen or fun, singular events that have happened in my life. That way I don't feel like I have to fill you in every time I go to write a new post. Ok, on with the scheduled news since you probably don't care about this note anway.
JOHN CARTER OF MARS
That's right--bask in the awesomeness of this poster. :} My art major roommate has made me realize just how much I movie posters.
Ok, so I saw this movie last Friday and IT. WAS. AMAZING. Honestly. No joke. I loved it so much! It had action, romance, and most of all, sci fi. I love science fiction SO much. Probably a little too much... :D Oh, and it was pretty much all shot in Utah and as you all know, I am absolutely in love with this red desert of a state. Utah is so beautiful with its breathtaking geography and gorgeous colors. AH! I get to go to Goblin Valley in a month!! :D :D *sigh*...sorry, freak-out moment. Anywho, back to John Carter--sweet fight sequences, hilarious moments and dialogue, amazing costuming and production design (seriously, their armor and tatooing was so sweet...), and it had some of my favorite actors in it, most notably Mark Strong. I LOVE him. Seriously, he is such a great actor and has such an intriguing face. The aliens were also really well done. The CG was exceptional and I only thought about the fake interaction between actor and imaginary alien 2 or 3 times in the whole movie (fyi, that's low for me--I think about filming processes a lot :} ) The movie even had a Seeker (tv show...ya, too long to explain now) monster-massacre part in it. (Kaitlin!...*waggles eyebrows*) :D haHA! So great. Everything was just so great. And let it be noted that only a small portion of this is Amanda-freaking-out-about-something-stupid, the rest is completely legitimate. It was honestly the absolute highlight of my weekend...week...month. :D
Ok, I think I've reached my limit for seriously's, honestly's, and awesome's in one post. :] Let me just end by saying that it would be well worth your time to see this movie. Ignore the critics negative reviews and its mediocre performance in the box office--I thought it was awesome.
Um, ya. I'm done. Go. Go see. Go see now! :D
