news of the world
A couple days ago I applied for a job at Chuck's House of Magic, which I think would be pretty amusing as far as retail jobs go. If you're going to sell shit, it may as well be costumes, pranks, and "adult gifts", right? And since I don't have any Special Skills or Qualifications that relate to retail per se, I wrote down that I can whistle and curl ribbon (they sell balloons! it's related!). The manager guy seemed to think that was funny, so maybe it wasn't quite the dumbest move in history. We shall see.
I've watched all the Terminator movies in the past week. They were awesome. I just read this on IMDB with regard to T4:
"Earlier drafts of the script before rewrites focused a lot more on just Marcus Wright and Kyle Reese, with John Connor making an appearance in the last few scenes. Christian Bale was first offered the role of Marcus but took more interest in the character of John Connor so rewrites took place to give him more of a substantial role throughout the film."
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO COOL. GODDAMN YOU, XTIAN BALE.
I mean, it didn't suck as it was or anything. But in the first three movies, future John Connor was like this ineffable, far-off dude. How sweet would it have been if you didn't see or hear anything from John Connor in T4 until you hear his voice over the radio? I don't know. Maybe I would want more John Connor in the movie if he didn't come off as a Batman-voiced bitch who, when someone offers to sacrifice their life for him, can't even at least pretend to be like "oh no, really, I could never ask, blah blah blah" instead of just being like "yeah, that's probably a good idea because I'm way more important than you." Or maybe I just really like the idea of more Anton Yelchin hanging out with a muscular dude. WHO CAN SAY.
I also read that there was an alternate ending where JC did die, and Marcus had to take his place as leader and pretend to be John Connor. Which would have been a decent twist and made a cool point about how the idea of John Connor as the savior of humanity is more important than actual John Connor, who is kind of boring. Ah well.
and since I've never provided solid evidence that I do, in fact, play drums:
going apeshit, Animal-style.
Lazy days. Been watching a lot of movies and chipping away at Star Trek: TOS. It looks like I shot myself in the foot scheduling wise, by waiting until a few days before tuition is due to sign up for classes. But more importantly, is it just me or have the new episodes of Flapjack been even weirder and gayer than ever before?
