I thought it was a good movie. Sure, it had some bad acting, but overall, it was a good flick. Definitely worth owning on DVD. No, Batman & Robin was a ******** solely because of Akiva Goldsman. This is the man who took Bane and made him Poison Ivy's b***h! Why would Bane and Poison Ivy team up in the first place?!

Maybe, for camp value. I just wish they'd gotten someone other than Gary Oldman. He's so much better than that.
Yeah, I'll buy that. It didn't occur to me before, but yeah. If you look at it through internal continuity, though, it kinda makes sense. But then that's only because that's how the script was written, so...
Yeah.
And by the by, I love camp. Hell, I like Forbidden Planet! So I get liking a movie for campyness.

Forbidden Planet was an amazing movie. And, this is my opinion, but without Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad), we would not have a lot of the special effects that we have today. Him and George Pal (The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao, H.G. Well's The Time Machine) were amazing effects men.

So, I tend to suck at introductions. 'Cause I'm pathetic like that.
Anyway, my name is Amanda. I always feel the need to give my real name since my username doesn't really afford any convenient nicknames--except for Bella, but that sort of defeats the purpose, ya know?
I'm a writer, an atheist, a socialist (in theory), a yankee, a feminist, a b***h, a critic, a grammar nazi, a supporter of free speech, and an ultra competative person.
I like writing, reading, logic, open-mindedness, laughter, free verse poetry, any kind of fiction, horror movies ('cept for the slasher kind), sarcasm, intelligence, questions, originality, South Park, and collecting art of my OCs Ashton and Kyle (see 'em in my signature?).
I dislike bigotry, boredom, cliches (unless used well), stupidity, hypocrites, uncalled for arrogance, gullibility, close-mindedness, people who think being open-minded means believing everything, people who think rationality is being close-minded, the idea that poetry is nothing more than emotion put down on paper (that’s called word vomit), the idea that writing has no rules (that‘s called failing your English classes).
And, now, for a random thing that irritates me: the fact that one of the characters from South Park has the same first name as my character. Which is a ridiculous thing to be irritated about, of course, 'cause it's not like I have any right to the common as anything name, not to mention the fact that Kyle Broflovski has been around much longer than Kyle Wright. It's just...inconvenient. Mainly because when I'm trying to tell my little sister about something I'm writing, she gets confused and thinks I'm talking about South Park. She's eight, and it's, like, her favorite show ever.

You don't technically need rules to write something, you know. At least, you don't need to use rules that you yourself haven't made. . .

Nope, the rules are there for a reason. Breaking them is possible, but only once one understands and applies the rules well, and even then the breaking of the rules must have a valid excuse. I will never buy into the idea that the rules are meant to be broken or that they somehow inhibit creativity. In fact, they enhance creativity. So, love 'em, don't hate 'em.
