Indy 4 disappoints…sadness

I went into “Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” with high, high hopes. After hearing that several critics gave the expected blockbuster unfavourable reviews I still held out hope for it. Loving Harrison Ford the way I do, and being the optimist I am, I truly thought I would be pleasantly surprised. But I feel like I am writing a eulogy.Having just returned from seeing the fourth installment to the epic Indiana Jones Adventure, the depressing feeling is still very fresh. The film started out fine enough introducing the truly amazing Cate Blanchett as the Eastern European villianess. Then steps in the young, hot and talented Shia LaBeouf who’s relation to Indy isn’t quite clear at first among other things. Then ensues the expected adventure on a quest for a Crystal Skull that the movie fails to explain fully. Indy and his gang end up in a jungle full of Mayans chased by Russians for a Crystal Skull that looks more like a plastic Halloween prop stuffed with saran wrap. The action and special effects in this movie may have been cutting edge back in the day when the Indy movies were the hottest thing in Hollywood but when you have movies like 300 and Transformers, you have to up your game. What was most disappointing to me, the aspiring director, was the fact that George Lucas and my idol Steven Spielberg are responsible for this atrocity. I mean SPIELBERG. COME ON. You created my favourite movie, Jurassic Park. That movie made me want a career in the business. Does this mean he’s over? Is it the end of the era? I hope not. This is just what is hopefully a huge mistake that will never happen again. By the way, I respect Roger Ebert so much but I have finally found a movie I disagree with him on. He gave it 4 stars and called it “Sensational.” I think not. I’m sorry. It feels like I’m talking back to my parents. It’s just hard when the people that you look up to release this kind of movie and truly believe its good.

Young, sitting in the basement, punching face

I’m sitting in my boyfriend’s basement while he’s at work. As I watch Days of Our Lives, my mind wanders. With my 22nd Birthday looming I’m becoming increasingly stressed out. It’s hard to face the fact that in my 22nd year of life I am no where near my goals. I just recently graduated from “journalism” and I’m almost finished my internship at a local TV station. My life goals are to be rich and successful (like everyone else). It’s hard telling people that you want to write movie scripts, direct and possibly act when you have little to no experience. I know what they’re thinking. “What an airhead if she thinks she’s the next Natalie Portman.” Although when I was younger I definitley dreamt of being super famous, fame has little to do with my dreams anymore. I do love to write and I’m obsessed with movies but I’m lying if I say the potential to be financially set for life had no part in my equation. I’m also stressed out that Summer is beginning and I have not really started the diet I’m forever talking about. I had A&W yesterday. They have the best burgers but I still feel like punching myself in the face everytime I have one. I just don’t want to spend another year dreaming of living healthy. So this is really more of a ranting blog and I doubt anyone has read it all the way through but I think it’s cathartic for me and that’s totally fine. Oh and by the way, if anyone is reading this who works on a film or tv set, give me a job! It doesn’t hurt to ask right?

The Very Best and Worst of the MET

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume and Institute Annual Gala (Mouthful Much?) brought out all and i mean ALL the stars. Of course Anna Wintour, The Queen of New York fashion came out guns blazing with her one-of-a-kind gown. I nor you could pull of this dress. I’m not sure who the designer is yet but I’m sure God appointed Moses and King Solomon to sew this number together from a field of platinum silk grown in Heaven’s field.

 

 The beautiful Kate Bosworth graced us with her beauty at the gala of the year. This 25 year old actress is the fresh-faced “normal” girl that Hollywood is in desperate need of. This All American girl  gets an A+ in the dress department. This ensemble is daring but Kate B pulls it off. I wouldn’t expect anything less.

 

 

 

Gisele, Gisele, Gisele. That dress. That body. She can do no wrong. This Brazilian bombshell is the hightest paid model int the world for a reason. That dress proves why. She is worth the $30 million a year! I think waking up next to Tom Brady every morning is doing her some good.

 

 

Why?Why?Why? Fergiee don’ttt do it! That’s what her stylist should have said before letting the “Fergalicious” singer out of the house looking like this. I wouldn’t wear this to an 80’s themed party much less the party of the year. If you’re lucky enough to be allowed into Anna Wintour’s gala you make sure that you bring your A- game. I love you Fergie and your experimental sense of style should be commended but this one shoulder horror should be burned.

 

David B and his lady Vicky B arrived

looking…um…well he looked great. I love Posh buttttt…Well the hair bothers me more then the dress. I can’t be that critical of her though because she embraces her campiness and she doesn’t take herself too seriously. Vicky will always be ultra hot but maybe next year she will right this year’s fashion wrong.

Happy Do Nothing two days

Happy Weekend Yalllll..(I don’t really say yall, i’m Canadian)

It’s awsome because my boss at my internship said that I could leave early but my taxi (my bf) won’t be down for another 20 min, oh well. I can surf without risking getting in trouble.

weekend stuff I won’t ever get to.

If I had enough to buy a small country, I’d smile too

It smiles! One of my fashionista bff’s, Ashley Olsen shows the world that she in fact does own a set of teeth. The young billionairess who is usually sporting her best Zoolander shows that she can crack a rather pretty smile from time to time.

Miley Cyrus, Semi-Nude OVERRATED

Another one of Disney’s superstars has caused a huge controversy for showing some…back? Miley Cyrus is in hot water with her fans for posing, and I use this term loosley, “semi-nude” for Vanity Fair. The shots were taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz . Many people are mocking the term used to describe the shot but “artistic” IS the right word. I mean, if she was lying full-frontal that would be a different story. But the only part of her body showing is her back. Maybe not all parents would approve of their child posing for this picture but is this any more scandalous then most girls her age who wear bikinis? 15 years old may be crossing the line but there are much worse things that are being done by young Hollywood. Lindsay Lohan anyone? The part about this whole situation that bothers me the most is Disney describing the incident as if Cyrus was “manipulated” into taking the photos. It is quite clear that she wasn’t being forced by anyone to take these less then controversial shots. The fact that her country star dad Billy-Ray Cyrus, was in some of the photos should put all those rumours to rest. You can overreact and stop your kids from watching her and listening to her CD’s but Miley is literally an angel compared to her predecessors. Don’t forget that Britney was wearing far less then this when she burst on to the scene around the same age.

 

My favourite postsecret

Favourite postsecrets today!!

This one totally reminded me of this blind lady at school who has one of those dogs that blind people have to guide them. She is such a bitch to him. She always yells at him and keeps him literally on a 2 inch leash. Since I saw her I have vowed to free him from her evil hands. I know I sound like an awful person but who must see this lady in action. She’s so mean.
