The eyes have it ........ Well the buttons do

Hey so this is my first review so be patient with me :P

...."Of course Toryn"

..........."Aw thanks voice in my head"

...."No problem dude" *Takes off on a jetpack*

So yeah, What do Dawn French, Teri Hatcher, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Saunders and Henry Selick have in common (and its not that they are all AMAZING) ..........Its a little movie called CORALINE !!!

Now as you may remember my first blog was all about the orgasm that is stop go animation, well here's another reason to love it. Henry Selick the amazing director behind The Nightmare Before Christmas (no Tim Burton did not direct it, he wrote it :P) has struck gold once more with this Jem stuck in a world of movies full of sex, action scenes, drugs and very little meaning.

Coraline Jones is a young girl with a big problem. Her life. Her parents are authors and have moved her out to the back arse of America (please don't hold her nationality against her, in the novel she was British) so they can have some peace (that really backfires on them) to write their Gardening catalouge (apperantley its a real thing).

Well this sounds dull you are thinking. Well all I have to say is fuck you !!! Coraline soon finds her self in BIG trouble when she accidentaly discovers the perfect world created by her "other mother", a doppelgänger of her mother with buttons insted of eyes. In this world her "other mother" can cook (Coralines real mother can't) her "other father" is  musicaly talented (her real father is not), her "other neighbours" are interesting (her real neighbours most certainly not) and her only ally is a sarcastic but loyal talking cat.

But things are not as they seem and after meeting the ghost children, loosing her parents and being trapped in a mirror Coraline soon discovers that when something seems to good to be true, it usualy is.

Now just because this is an animated movie DO NOT make the mistake of branding it as a "kids" movie, it is so much more, it is one big orgasm of emotion, amazing characters, comedy and at the heart of it all that feeling of not belonging we have all felt at one point.

So if this blog has taught us anything it's.......DON'T let them sow the buttons in (go watch it and you'll understand :P)

The indefinate plug

So I know that blogging is AWESOME and so much cooler than vlogging but ....... I have to tell you about this -> TheIndefiniteCollab........ They are kinda awesome !!!!!! (and im not just sayin that cause I love them)

They consist of Daithi (David), Pol (Paul), Hannah (I don't no the Irish for Hannah and I am far to lazy to go find it) and Chris (he is really annoying, DO NOT watch his videos :P) What do they do ??? Nothing and everything....... So basicaly they insult scottish people....... Well David does (but a scottish person has told us he likes them so its cool)

... "But why should I watch them ???"
..........."Because I say so Beotch" *slaps reader*
... :'(
..........."Yeah thats what I thought, GO NOW"

Wait maybe that wasnt very nice, I mean I have been told by someone I'm very forceful in my blogs (but its ok. He's not with us anymore 0_o)

Ok I'll try again....

..."But why should I watch them"

.........."Because they are the most awesome orgasmic people ever !!"

..."Oh my god, thats amazing, I'll go subscribe immediatley"

........*Claps hands together* "My job here is done"

So have I convinced you ??? (maybe I've scared you away from EVER watching one of the videos) And if so, guys I'm sorry :D

So please...... "GO AND FUCKING SUBSCRIBE BEOTCH" *Slaps reader..... again*

The Gushings of a Gleek

.."Hey you"

....... "Me??"

.."Yeah you, come here a sec"

......"What??"

.."You watch Glee don't you ??"

......"Me ??? Pfft, eh, wha, of course I don't I'm way to

.................................

......."Yeah, I do"

Glee, my guilty little pleasure, I mean who doesnt love it ??? I no your all sitting out there going "I don't, bloody hell like" but in acctual fact you do (unless your head is'nt screwed on quite right).

I mean who couldnt love the characters which range from the EXTREMLEY gay Kurt, to the ABSOLUTE bitch that is Quinn and the O.T.T diva Mercedes. But why do we love them. I mean they kind of sound like the high school musical characters (and I think I speak for everyone when I say that is an extremley bad thing). So why do we want to hug them insted of stab them ???? (I bags stabbing Zac). It because the are REAL. They are not perfect and do not fit into one set stereotype. Each one has the flaws and personality of a real person. They suprise us from time to time. Be it Quinn wanting Mercedes to be at the birth of her baby or Sue resigning as principal to protect Kurt from bullies, we can never predict whats gonna happen.

Now for thoose of you who are sports fans (not me). Imagine watching a match and the watching it the next tuesday night and the tuesday after, and after, and after, and after. Does it sound fun ???? Me thinks not. So thats why Glee is AMAZING.

..."Another reason Glee is amazing ??? Anyone????"

..........."oh, oh, oh, Its American"

... >:( "No, get out, NOW"

.......... :'(

The answer is the music. This is my personal favourite -> Rose's turn

But no matter what you like, you'll like something on Glee (unless your like into classical music done by heavy metal bands. Then just feck off).

Having said that I am kinda annoyed by the fact the music on Glee is staring to become a bit.......how do I  say it nicely....... a bit, main stream

:O

I no, I no its blasphemy !!!! But its true. In recent episodes they have started to try and seem........ young. They are really aiming for that 12-15 year old age group. And why????? So the have to stop being edgey, funny and a wee bit innapropriate. God, next they will be trying to convince us Kurt is'nt gay and Britany does'nt sleep around. Pftt, could you imagine ???

So please Glee.......... Don't change.... EVER

Your songs remind me of swimming

For todays title I decided to quote one of the greatest singers EVER !!!!! Florence Welch. I have a very strange taste in music. You can find anything from P!nk to coldplay to Adele on my ipod, and what does that say about me......... NOTHING

I am sorry but this whole idea that someone can guess the type of person you are by your music taste is bull shit. As I have progressed further into this strange little world called teenage life I have seen so many people give up their favourite music just to be like someone else (I've even done it myself on more than one occasion) and for what ????? To be liked a bit more ????? To have something to talk about ???? I know I personaly have done it so I could be more involved in groups of people because, to be quite honest, having a different taste in music to your sometimes pretensious (but lovable) friends can be really rather difficult.

Lets use me as an example. I like the odd Green Day song but I am not a giant fan and most of my friends love Green Day. So what do you think I did ??? If you said "you stuck to what you know and love of course" you are beyond WRONG!!! I went and got my mum to buy me Greenday tickets for my birthday and read the entire Green Day wikipedia page. I had a brilliant time as it turns out because I was with some pretty awesome people and of course PARAMORE was there :D. But still I would have much preffered to go see Ellie Goulding or P!nk.

So what this has taught me and (hopefully) you is to just be your frickin self and just love what you love. Finally to quote the ever wise P!nk "Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel. Like you're less than fuckin' perfect "

To read or not to read

Now in my little part of the world this is a very taboo subject. The twilight series. The twilight series (just in case you have been stuck in the dungeon of a castle some where in eastern europe) is a series of four romantic/fantasy books based on the love triangle between a human, a vampire and a werewolf. So as quoted from facebook "a girls decision between necrophilia and bestiality"

The twilight books and movies are in some peoples worlds loved and adored, making millions of people happy (and making a fair bit of money for Ms. Meyer too) and with other people they are hated and generaly a giant pain in the arse.  I for one am a supporter of the books, but what is it about them that makes normaly calm and sweet people so damn furious ??

 I have friends on both sides of no mans land and I have to say its kinda of crazy how normal teenagers become so emotional about theese books. The strong hatred and love for the same thing in one group of friends is quite a fascinating phenomenon. It can lead to many pointless arguments and bitching. But why are the hated ??

I believe the people who hate it do not truly understand what they are hating. I understand their hatred for the franchise (it can be pretty annoying, with its overly good looking leads and chessy lines), but the books ???

 I doubt most have even read them. They have seen advertisments for the movies and have judged the books on their public cover. I am not saying the books are perfect (they are acctualy quite flawed with their cliched themes and soppy writing) but what is. I don't mind if you don't like the public image of twilight but please don't make snap decisions on the books. Let their supporters support them without feeling like "oh god, Chris does'nt like them so when he's around neither do I" READ THEM

By the way, please don't bite my head off. Thank you :D

The voting is over.... please leave

I know I have already put a post up today but I felt the need to post another due to the fact that the 25th of february 2011 (today) is a day that will go down in history for the simple reason, and not to put too fine a point on it. YOUR FUTURE  IS BEING DECIDED.



For the benefit of thoose who have been trapped on an alien planet for the last half a decade, the country is fucked. We have no money and leaders who are beyond stupid. But today we had the chance to try and change this (well, when I say we I mean everyone over 18, because people under 18 don't have the right to decide their own future). Anyhoo....... The voting has now been closed for 2 hours and in another 9 they will begin counting the results.

So what does that mean? I hear you asking. Why should I care? You should care for lots of reasons:

1. YOUR FUTURE IS BEING DECIDED. If the wrong party is voted in then I am sorry to inform you that emigration is more than likley in your near future

2. YOUR FUTURE IS BEING DECIDED. If the wrong party is voted in you will be charged even more for college ( By the way, the don't care if you can't afford it)

3. YOUR FUTURE IS BEING DECIDED. Now some of you out there might be suprised to find out not every one in this "free" society has the right to marry. So you may find yourself in the near future not having as many rights as your peers. Some parties want to change this, some don't

So after that I have one simple question. Why can't people under 18 vote ???? I am under 18. Do I sound un-informed and naive. No (if you dissagree please feel free to feck off). So why can't I decide my future ???? I am in no way suggesting that we have a load of 4 year old running around at the ballot box, but why not 16 year olds ? if I am old enough by law to have a child, then shouldnt I be old enough to vote ?

Oh and one last thing. Goodbye Fianna Fáil !!!!!!! Thank you for ruining our once proud island.

Don't stop the motion

You may or may not have guessed from the title but this blog is about stop motion animation. For you out there who have never heard of stop motion, shame on you, you uncultured swine !!! (pretentsious moment)

Stop go animation is as quoted from the all knowing wikipedia "an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own". So its moving puppets.

Now I take an interest in stop go animation because my favourite movie EVER, Tim Burton's classic "The Nightmare Before Christmas" was made using the technique. In my opinion there is just such beauty in an in-animate object being given a personality, a voice and a life. And it looks good too.



Unfortunatley for stop motion animation lovers out there they just are not made very often. This is due to that factor that is present in every part of society. MONEY. Stop motion is costly and time consuming. It can take hours to make seconds of acctual film. So it is with this sad fact we can expect to only get at the most one movie a year. But take solace in this one thing my friends. When they are made. They are BRILLIANT
