To: Skynet ... Love, GlaDOS
Dear Skynet,
One word: NEUROTOXIN.
Yours,
GlaDOS
Just saw Terminator: Salvation. (Three parts awesome, one part...wtf)
Now, to start, I'm not saying this wasn't a good movie, because it was. It was exciting, and dramatic, and even a little touching. But definitely an action movie. So, overall, if you can calmly accept Bruce Willis defeating a fighter jet with an SUV, this movie is for you. Because there is a lot of that. Lots of explosions, and slingshotting things into other things, which then, well, explode.
The robots were neat, though - and hey, gotta study up, because this is all going down in about nine years, gaiz. 2018~ (Unless the world ends in 2012. SOMEBODY IS LYING TO ME.)
HOWEVER. The end gets kind of...completely ridiculous. >_>;;;
First of all, if I am a heartless machine, and I have face-identifying magic software, and I find the guy whose death equals instant victory, I SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD. But that's just me. You can also, you know, put him in a holding cell and wait for him to be rescued, that's just as effective. Maybe there'll be time to teach him to dance to "Thriller" while we're waiting for the Resistance to show up.
NEXTLY...say you're a robot with a big robot army full of robots with GUNS FOR ARMS. And there's this pesky guy, John Connor, who you just so want to kill. You've been trying for, like, four movies, and the guy JUST WON'T DIE. But this time, o-ho, we've got him. So - out of your huge arsenal of heat-seeking-missile-launching, machine-gun-toting, animate-armored-car-esque robots, how do you propose we do away with him?
GREAT IDEA.
Let's have Governor Schwarzenegger PUNCH HIM TO DEATH.
Yup.
And while this guy routinely bends steel support beams into fun animal shapes, we've been chasing John Connor for WAY too long to just pop his head like the watermelon it is. Let's throw him into some things first, and then hold him menacingly against the wall. Then we'll have his lunch money AND we'll win the war.
...But, well, I guess my way isn't any fun. As it was, ridiculous ending, but it was pretty awesome nevertheless and if you're a fan of the franchise, well, cameos and references abound, so that was fun too. ^_____^
ALSO.
I vote Helena Bonham Carter to play GlaDOS whenever they wise up and make a movie version of Portal. OH, YES. Oh, Ms. Carter, you rule. ^_^
Additonally, since I'm falling farther and farther behind again -_-...
04/19: Went running on the beach (made of squee~<3), discovered the glory that is piernita (oh, panaderia, made of so, so much win), which is basically a really dense Mexican jelly donut but is exceptionally delicious when you're starving and dehydrated and just ran in the sand, haha~ Then off to Little Tokyo, where I bought the cutest little Hetalia figure evar. Outside the Kinokuniya there was a display of weird creatures - plushies, cups, shirts, and so on. There were good and evil creatures, but the best one was the one in the picture. EVIL PLAN REVEALED! Oooh, and it was so clever, too.
04/20: I had a sort-of long-term assignment to some seventh graders at Steampunk Middle School (I'll explain this in a bit) who peppered the ceiling with paper airplanes and were quite taken aback when I not only lectured on the history portion of the class, I expected them to retain and respond to the information. OH, THE HORRORS. >____>
04/21: Look! It's 5:15pm! That's a really good book, by the way (I Was Told There'd Be Cake, which I bought because a) of the title and b) because the description made the main character sound like Miranda) although I was a little disappointed because it turned out to be a series of (really funny) essays, instead of a book like I was hoping. But still, good.
04/22: OMG, SO MANY PIGEONS. Roy and I started carpooling to work, which saves money and means that I'm never late, but also means I have to sit around for a good half hour or so. I like this parking lot because it's big, so I don't have to sit RIGHT OUTSIDE SOMEONE'S WINDOW while I'm loitering in my car.
And...PIGEONS! ^____^ I used to be a pigeon, when I was a girl.
04/23: There was a science teacher who, since the kids were learning about birds, was teaching them principles of flight using paper airplanes. In short, THE KIDS WERE LEARNING TO MAKE REALLY GOOD PAPER AIRPLANES. Which they would fling into the weird foam-covered ceilings. I spent my whole lunchtime standing on desks knocking the damn things off the (really high) ceilings with a meterstick. >_________> I'm not used to older kids. Little kids...don't even think of things like this. ARGH.
NEITHER WOULD THESE KIDS, IF THEY WERE MINE FOR KEEPS. >O GRR~
04/24: Cheating again, but I just really love this school. It's SO NEAT LOOKING. (Especially if you've just gotten really into Steampunk. Haha, it's so industrial!) They even have an elevator machine! (Ahaha...ha~) Apparently CSI: Miami (the crappiest CSI >_>) thought so too, because I heard they taped an episode there, although which episode I've yet to discover. (So...hard...to watch...stupid...CSI:...Miami. It's always 6pm there. And don't get me STARTED on their tech stuff. e_e;;;)
04/25: THE FITS DANCE! So this Japanese candy company (Lotte --- haha --- they make super nummy chocolate) has a line of gum with a jingle, but since it's Japan the jingle comes with choreography. Apparently they were/are having a contest for people to do this dance (it's all on YouTube, check it out! WATCH THE WHOLE PLAYLIST. It never gets old. It should, but it doesn't).
..."Fits!"
-dances-
And anyway, there you go. ^_^
...It's for when I'm old. And just because I'm stubborn. ^_~
