I think they should spell it newz.

OK, sorry about the lack of update. I've been kinda busy lately and whatnot. With what, I shall explain.

1. Movies - I'm a huge cinema-goer. To me, there is nothing quite like the unique smell of watered down coke, greasy popcorn, and the aromas of your fellow movie-watchers. But so far this summer, only three movies have really stood out to me. Pirates 3 was ok, but it was more on an equal level with PIrates 2, which I didn't like as much as the first. Spiderman 3 was also meh-ish. The second one was much better, and they tried to cram three storylines into one movie in 3. I was also dissapointed by Shrek 3, which wasn't bad, just wasn't anywhere near as good as the second one. Very sad. I didn't get a chance to see Disturbia, but I heard it was really good, and wouldn't be suprised if it was. But right now, the first of two summer movies that I truly ejoyed, is Harry Potter and THe Order of the Phoenix. It is by far the best of the Harry Potter movies, and as far as I can remember, pretty true to the storyline. I'm still mad that they dropped Peeves b/c I wanted him to salute George and Fred when they flew off and said "give her hell". The other movie I really enjoyed was Live Free or Die Hard. OF course, it doesn't have any intelecttual value, but it was still pretty damn badass. The tunnel scene? Still gives me goosebumps when I think about it.
But the crowning jewel of this summer, for sure, is Transformers. When I first saw previews, I will admit that I laughed. I was like "Omg whoever goes and sees that is a dork or a little kid." But then they started showing fight scenes from it, and damn. It looked good. By July 2nd, I was highly anticipating it. To me, it always seems the more you anticipate a movie, the more it's going to dissapoint you. Transformers did that in no way shape or form. It was brilliant. The only thing I didn't think was really neccassary was the whole "british girl and Anthony Anderson hackers" storyline. It just seemed out of place. But honestly, other than that, I don't have any bones to pick with this movie. It is quite literally the must-see movie of the summer.

Onto other things.

2. Speedy Freakout!!! - So some friends and I do this comic called Speedy Freakout!!!. It's pretty cool, and it's an excuse to get together, eat junk food, and play guitar hero. Currently, we're only on Facebook, but we're looking to expand (we're thinking either Drunkduck or Smackjeeves). If you're on Facebook, check us out, just search Speedy Freakout and it'll be a group, all the issues are in there. Well anyway, lately, we've been shooting more, and also been having a lot of cast problems. I've also been working on two issues at once (i'm in charge of formatting - i put all the pics in comic form and add the speech). So ya.

3. Summer reading - Last of the Mohicans and Raisin in the SUn, AND a packet of nine nonfiction stories, plus i gotta take notes on all of them. Ugh.

4. Comic - the next post I'm doing is a comic, so it takes longer. Deal with it.
