I've been thinking. And ya know, I think that to get a good debate going, you have to stomp on some opinions. I mean, if you just accept them all and say, "Oh, well, that could be true..." then where will the debate sprout from? You have to be like, "That's wrong because blah blah blah" or else the whole thing'll be for naught.
Someone's probably figured this out/put it into words before me, but I don't care.
Watched a bunch of good Sci-Fi movies over the weekend: Deep Core, The Odyssey, Jason and the Argonauts, and a mini-series called Arabian Nights. The last one was really good, especially the story about the three brothers - Prince Ali (I think he was the eldest, or maybe he was someone else in a different story - I don't remember) had some sweet sword moves. All I know was that he was the eldest brother, he got the carpet, and he had a pretty face. ;D Well, he should've been the eldest, because he was the guy with the swords...whatever.
Jason and the Argonauts and the Odyssey were pretty good, too. Seeing as I'm a fan of Greek mythology, they were splendid. And Hermes had awesome hair. ;D But what I thought was a bit ironic and a little funny was that Odysseus, throughout the years he was away, kept worrying whether his wife Penelope was still faithful to him - most of the time he was worrying about this was when he was in bed with either that red-haired Goddess (was that Artemis?) or Callypso (is that how you spell it?). Plus, when he was going to the Underworld, and all the men were hugging him good-bye, I swear that that moment was the first ancient gang bang...
But maybe that's just my sick mind.
Jason was awesome. He would've been cooler if he'd cut his hair, but I suppose that was the style back then. I was so sad when Hercules died - kinda freaked out when Jason was holding him and he suddenly disappeared. Then when Zeus tried to seduce Medea, and was flickering all over the place while whispering "Medea"; I really can't see why she wasn't freaked out by that. Then again, it's a movie, so there's really no logic in it.
What I thought was exceptionally hilarious really had nothing to do with the movie itself. Well, it sorta did. You see, my sister watched that movie in her seventh grade English class. And there's this one part where the leader of an island of women that sacrific men screws Jason, then licks his chest. I was like, eww. And they watched that in school. Where even commercials for PG movies are forbidden.
Kinda strange.
That's my input for the day. Enjoy.
