20th Century Fox & Comic Con

     20th Century Fox has announced it will not be at Comic Con this summer for the 
 fear of people pirating unfinished footage for their upcoming tentpole movies. 

     My opinion on this:  Why even show the footage in the first place if they know 
 the people there will be recording it ? Comic con is terribly overcrowded and 
 expensive in itself for the those that can't afford to go. By leaking it out to the 
 masses, it creates hype and gets people talking about it. Isn't that what the studios
 want?
     I understand that by releasing it at these conventions, it gives fans an incentive 
 to go. I'd rather watch it online than having to stand in line for several hours just 
 to get in. Besides, who would want to deal with cosplayers, people dressed as 
 their favorite Star Wars or video game character? 
     It'd be nice if they would stream it live online for those that cannot attend.
     Disney pulled out a couple years ago and now have their own convention called
 D23, where they show their upcoming big movies. 
     If other studios follow suit, it may be the end for showing early footage there 
 and return to the early days before the studios got involved. 

Be Someone for a day

 If I had to switch places with someone for a day, it would be Orlando Bloom. He is dating 
my favorite pop singer/crush Katy Perry. If I was him for a day, I'd spend it holding hands,
cuddling, and make out with her. I'd tell Katy that she is the most beautiful woman ever. 

My Favorite Candy

  My favorite candy is Skittles because they taste delicious and come in many
  flavors. 

Go Green / Recycling

  On Thursday afternoon, we have Go Green/Recycling Class with Melissa.
In this class, I learned how to recycle differently. I like this class because 
it makes me be more aware of our environment and what I can do to help 
out as it is slowly being destroyed by pollution.

13 Going 30

                                      13 Going on 30
             Cast: Jennifer Garner, Mark Ruffalo, Andy Serkis, Judy Greer

   Today in Melissa's film forum class, we watch the ending to a comedy called 13 Going
 on 30. It's a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo. It is about a 
 13 year old girl in the 80's who wishes she was older until the next day, she wakes up 
 17 years later as a 30 year old
     She tries dealing with the responsibilities while being 30 and tries to reconnect with
her platonic friend Matt (Mark Ruffalo). Things become to get complicated while as a
photo editor for a fashion magazine. Once Matt tells her his feelings for her, she begins
falling for him. It has a good ending. Perfect for a date night in or girls slumber party. 

BvS : Dawn of Justice

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

                                     Dir: Zack Snyder

       Cast: Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Jesse

    Eisenberg, Gal Gadot

      This is my review of the highly anticipated movie in the DC Cinematic 
  Universe taking place immediately after the events in Man of Steel.

      Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) arrives in Metropolis for unknown reasons, just
in time to witness the destruction of the city between Superman and his nemesis 
Zod. Its citizens turn against Superman (Henry Cavill) and perceive him as 
an alien threat to Earth.

      Meanwhile we are introduced to Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), a wealthy 
young man with Daddy issues. He becomes paranoid of Superman and takes 
drastic actions to have Batman battle Superman.
       
      I thought this movie was too dark and depressing. I was disappointed with 
 the pacing and tone of the movie. The killing of a certain character in the Superman
 lore early on was pointless and unnecessary. I felt like this movie was tried too 
 hard to shoehorn characters for the plots sake. It's a muddled mess of a film that
 tried to take itself serious.
      Jesse's Lex character came across as too nerdy and unlikable. Wonder Woman's
inclusion became the better half of this movie. 
     Overall, it wasn't the worst comic book ever, just the worst of the past several 
years. I wanted to like like this movie but couldn't.

My Spring Break

While I had a week off from school, I did a few things. I went out to eat at Fuddruckers
and shopping with Courtney, I got my haircut, walked around downtown Pleasant Hill 
with my best friend Nick.
   We went to several stores including Cold Stone Creamery, got a sandwich at Togo's 
while Nick ate a 5 Guys & Burgers. There wasn't much else to do there except walk 
around.
