Blast from the past.

[EDIT/]
Hey, I actually wrote this before christmas vacation and never really finished it, so here it is, a painful (to me) reminder of the year that came and went (thankfully). Anyway, hope to have a real update soon, and thanks ever ever so much to all the people who keep on commenting! It always makes me smile when someone lets me know they read what I wrote.
Anyway, hope ya'll enjoy this technologically enhanced post.

Ello! I'm back! Writing on my blog! Yes I am! Seriously! Without a doubt! No, really, it is kinda strange that I have to repeat this to you! I really, really, am writing on my blog! I assure you! Trust me.
Maybe it's the fact that it has been so long since I've made a new post that causes you to doubt your eyes.


For some reason the event that has jerked me out of my blogless stupor is that I just finished, no more than a couple of minutes ago, watching the movie Se7en. Impressions: Um, wow. Just wow. That was a crazy messed up movie. But it was done so very well. The plot is your basic "serial killer mastermind leads the policemen (Played by Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman) on a cleverly planed race to figure out the clues he leaves behind before it is too late", cat-and-mouse type thing, and as you can probably guess from the title, his murders are all centered on the 7 deadly sins. The movie could have been predictable, but it turned out to be so much more than average. First of all, this movie is deeply disturbing in the manner the people are killed. Think of the most disturbing CSI killing you've seen times ten. At least they were in my opinion; contrary to CSI, here they leave a little bit more to the imagination, without those CSI 3D zooms into the wounds and all. Of course, this movie was made way back in 1995 before they could do those zoom things, but I am getting off track here. The parts that really shined in this movie and made it awesome were the acting ( despite the gloomy setting, you found yourself actually caring about the characters ), and most importantly, the story. Very well put together and very intriguing, it holds your attention till the very end. All in all, I thought this movie was great. But should you see it? Well, I guess that depends. You see, it is a bit of a downer, and as I mentioned before, it is pretty disturbing. Oh, and there is cussing. Lots of it I believe. I know my family probably wouldn't like this movie very much as they are not big on downer movies. Me, it doesn't bother. I blame growing up in french school. Somehow the french penchant for melancoly movies insinuated itself into my subconscious or something. I mean, I've always secretly hoped that Tom would finally catch Jerry or that Wile E. Coyote's ACME product would work for once and he'd catch that blasted Roadrunner. So I guess the choice is up to you. I think it's a good movie, but if you'd rather watch a halmark channel original movie than CSI, then it's probably not for you.
