10 Guilty Pleasures:

I really had no idea what a guilty pleasure is, so I googled it. guilty pleasure is something one enjoys and considers pleasurable despite feeling guilt for enjoying it. Often, the "guilt" involved is simply fear of others discovering one's lowbrow or otherwise embarrassing tastes, rather than actual moral guilt. Fashion, music, and food (especially unhealthier foods high in sugar and/or fat) can be examples of guilty pleasures. From Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guilty_pleasure


  1. Regifting. Sometimes, someone gives me a present for my birthday or something, but I don't like it, so I give it away to other people, I actually feel really bad when I do this, but it's better than wasting it. :P I hope I'm not the only one that does this!
  2. Eating free samples! I love eating free samples, its like a free lunch. The embarrassing part is that I don't just grab one... I grab like 6. :P haha
  3. Listening to music...that most guys won't listen to. Haha :P I have to admit, sometimes I listen to Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and Beyonce, and Lady Gaga...when I'm alone of course. (And Miley Cyrus. Shhh ;) haha)
  4. Watching movies by myself. HAHA I know maybe you're thinking I'm a loner, but I love watching movies by myself, where people don't make stupid comments, or interrupt you, or anything.
  5. Liking the movies "The Tuxedo" and "The Medallion" On a lot of websites, they say that if you are a true Jackie Chan fan, you would not like The Tuxedo, or The Medallion, because apparently they're terrible movies, but I love the movies so much! :P   They're both about Jackie Chan having special powers. :P 





If you watched the trailers, you would know that the two movies are pretty similar. By the way, here is a bonus Guilty Pleasure: I like mentioning Jackie Chan in every post. haha :P

6. Researching about movies before I watch them: Yeah, that's true, I always search up the movie I'm watching on Wikipedia or IMDB (Internet Movie Database) and read the storyline, the comments, the reviews, and forums, etc.

7. Loving Fast Food Restaurants: I don't know why, but I really like fast food restaurants, I think they're food is really delicious. I don't know why, but everyone I know seems to hate Fast Food Restaurants.

8. Facebook and Youtube: I can spend hours on it! For Facebook, I usually go on the Facebook Chat or look at the News Feed (Most Recent) and for YouTube, I like to watch all sorts of videos, such as people who video blog, make funny videos, movie clips, music videos, and other. :P

9. Watching Jackie Chan Movies (or other movies) Over 10 Times: I have no idea why, but I just love to watch Jackie Chan movies, and the more i rewatch them, the more little things I notice, and the more I like them!

10. Playing Hide and Seek and Capture The Flag And Other Games: I never get tired of Hide and Seek and Capture the Flag, I have no idea why, and I'm really competitive, so I don't like to lose. ;)


BTW I have a lot of other guilty pleasure that I don't want to tell, I hope you liked the post.

BYEEEEE! :) :)

ANOTHER 10 Random Things About Me:

Hey there! I hope you're not disappointed that I'm doing another 10 random things, I just couldn't really come up with anything to write about, and this time, hopefully I'll add more detail.


  1. Some random foods I hate are: Peppers (like Sweet Bell Peppers), Papaya, Mangoes, Bananas, Strawberries, Pickles, Tomato Juice, Source Yogurt, and most cheeses.
  2. The first Jackie Chan movie was actually a movie that no one really liked, it was called Around The World In 80 Days, which is a 2004 Hollywood movie, based on the book. 
. The only Jackie Chan film I dislike is "The Protector"

The trailer makes the movie look better than it actually is

3.) I've spent over 12 hours making a game called "Jackie Chan vs Bruce Lee" and you can play the game right here > http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/edmonddude1/655122 It's really fun. It's the first game I ever made by myself. Basically you play as either Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee, and if you're Jackie Chan, you might bruce Lee, and if you're Bruce Lee, you fight Jackie Chan. It's  may sound like an easy game, but it's really hard. Let me explain how I made it. First, I spent a long time making Jackie Chan look like Jackie Chan, and I had to make Bruce Lee look like Bruce Lee. And when Jackie Chan punches or kicks, I had to move his hands and his feet, and it took me a long time to make. And same with Bruce Lee. The next hardest part was Artificial Intelligence. If you're Jackie Chan, notice that Bruce Lee blocks, or fights back, or doesn't do anything. That was incredibly hard to make. I had to make Bruce Lee pick a number 1, 2, or 3. If he picked 1, he would fight back, if he picked 2, he would block, and if he picked 3 he would do nothing. And same with Jackie Chan. And that was just one of the hardest parts. I had to make sure Jackie Chan was not using Artificial Intelligence if you picked Jackie Chan, and same with Bruce Lee, and another thing was to make the Bruce Lee come towards Jackie Chan, and Jackie Chan come towards Bruce Lee. I had to create a huge script, if you picked Jackie Chan. And I had to duplicate it with Bruce Lee, with changes. It's waaaay harder than it looks. I'm really proud of it, please check it out. :) Even the buttons were hard to make. Press the green flag at the top right corner to restart the game. And making Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee move and jump was hard too. Oh, notice how theirs a countdown at the top of the game. If you're Jackie Chan and Jackie Chan's points are 0, you lose, and if Bruce Lee's points are 0, you win. :) That was another hard part. How can I make it so that Bruce Lee's points go down when Jackie Chan punches? Well, if Jackie Chan punches, Bruce Lee would block with his hands. So I set it so when Bruce Lee's hands touches Jackie Chan's hands, the points would stay the same, and if Bruce Lee didn't block, then when Jackie Chan's hand touches Bruce Lee's body , it would lose like 10 points or something. And the same with kicks. If Bruce Lee's feet touched Jackie Chan's blue shirt, then Jackie chan would lose points, and that was VERY hard to set up. (P.S. If you pick Bruce Lee, he has a secret move, a flying kick) I actually made this game 2 years ago, and I barely told anyone about it. Because I don't want to brag. But I guess I'm bragging right now. :P

4.) When I'm in class, I either think I'm in a John Woo Shootout, or in a Jackie Chan fight.








You don't have to watch them. ;)

5.) I've barfed on a girl in Grade 3 once. :P

6.) I've only seen 3 Bruce Lee movies so far. In case you don't know who Bruce Lee is, he is an actor, and a martial arts instructor. He is also the founder of the martial art "Jeet Kune Do" He's only made 5 major movies, and all of them were very successful, and he is still very well known in Hong Kong AND in Hollywood.

7.) Candy: I hate Mars and Snickers, I love M&M's, Smarties, Aero's, Coffee Crisps, and Sour Patch. :)

8.) I'm ashamed of some of the music on my iPod. :P but not so much anymore.

9.) My 2 favorite apps on my iPod Touch is Assassin's Creed and Textplus. :)

10.) I've only read 30 pages of the first Harry Potter book and I haven't read any other ones. I've seen the first 4 movies. I've read the first 3 Twilight books though. Don't ask. ;)

11.) BONUS: I like Beyonce. HAHAHAHA :)

Oh, I love Capture The Flag :)

Anyways, BYE!

Runaway

Hi there! Here is a short post about the short film/ music video Runaway.
 So, just 84 minutes ago, I watched the premiere of Kanye West's new music video, Runaway.
Runaway is the song Kanye West preformed in the MTV VMA 2010, and you can watch it below.



Runaway, the music video is apparently the world's LONGEST music video ever. It's 40 minutes long.




Watch it! ^^

Here is what the music video is about:

SPOILER ALERT:
Kanye West rescues a phoenix and he brings her home and the phoenix starts dancing to Kanye's songs. Next, Kanye West brings her to a parade, and another song plays and the scene extends for quite a long time.
After that, he brings her to a dinner party with a lot of his friends, but his friends don't really accept her, they don't like her at all, and a few more songs play.
And there are occasional dialogue such as
Friend: You're girlfriend is really beautiful.
Kanye: Thank you.
Friend: Did you know she's also a bird?
Kanye: I never noticed that.

And then Kanye West preforms the song I've been waiting for, Runaway.



He plays the piano, and starts singing as ballerinas dance in the background.
After, he finishes singing, the ballerinas dance for like 5 more minutes, and finally its over. The phoenix looks amazed, and then the waiter ...(SPOILER) puts a huge bird as the main course for the dinner. The phoenix is offended and starts screaming, and they go back to Kanye's garden and she's really sad. She tells Kanye that she has to burn to go back to her own world. She also says "That's the one thing I hate most about this world. Anything that's different you try to change." Kanye then says "I'll never let you burn" and then some romantic stuff happens. 


The morning after, Kanye realizes he's all alone and then he runs, but he sees the phoenix flying up to the sky and burning, and he's now all alone. 
The End.


What did you think of the music video?


I didn't really enjoy it, but I didn't hate it either, I thought it was very artistic and it was filmed beautifully, and its really creative, and I will definately watch it again sometime in the future. BTW, the music video isn't really just a music video for Runaway, it's like a music video for his WHOLE album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The acting was alright. I think the only reason why I didn't like it as much was probably because I had high expectations for this, and I waited a long time for it. :P But, I think if I didn't watch it with such high expectations, I might have a better opinion. 









Cast:


Kanye West as Griffin. 

Selita Ebanks as the phoenix: 


And thats it for the cast.


Sorry for such a short post, I hope you watch it and tell me what you think of it.


I give this music video a 8.6/10 :)


BYEEEE! :)

What I Did Today In School

This is a short post on my school day.
Today was a normal day in school for me.
First, I had Math, where I sat by myself. :( We had a substitute, and we did 90 questions on exponent laws. :P I spent most of the time working on that, and then the bell rang. Theres not much to say about math.

Next was science, we did some work on our workbook about Polyatomic Ion Formulas, and then we marked our quizzes. We did a little experiment to test if pennies were made out of real copper. Then, we watched a video explaining about Atoms, and elements. And then the bell rang for lunch.

At lunch, I didn't do much, lunch passes by really slow for me, I don't know why.

The next class I had was Drama. We worked on our Comedy Skits, my skit is about an audition for choir, and I'm a judge. And my partner is the person trying out, and in the end, it was all a prank.

I can't memorize my lines. :P

Then, our teacher gave us some advice, and directed us a little.
After that, we played some improvisation games like Space Jump and Freeze.

Last class of the day was Gym, and it was pretty good, we played badminton again, and I was by myself because Travis was away. I did pretty good, I won a game, and I lost a game, and we ran the polar mile. I won a game 21-9, and lost a game 21-19 :( I'm in the finals though. :) I hoped you liked my post on my school day.

John Woo

Hello there! In this post, I'm going to talk about John Woo. Jackie Chan and John Woo are my two favorite movie makers of all time, so today, I'm going to talk about John Woo.
      
      John Woo is a Chinese director, and he is usually known for his crazy shootouts... (that I always think about in my head, when I'm bored, like in science class). He has directed the famous Hong Kong films "A Better Tomorrow, and A Better Tomorrow 2", The Killer, Bullet in the Head, Once A Thief, and Hard Boiled. But...He has also directed Hollywood movies, such as Face/Off, Hard Target, Broken Arrow, Mission:Impossible II, Windtalkers, and Paycheck. Recently he has been making movies in Mainland China, such as Red Cliff, Red Cliff 2, and Reign of Assassins. 

 
   
   
  
...and those are just his famous ones. 

And if you noticed in the posters above, the first five movies, all have the same main character, and he uses Nicolas Cage and John Travolta a lot. 

My favorite John Woo films of all time are The Killer, A Better Tomorrow 1&2, Bullet in the Head, and Hard Boiled. I haven't watched all of his movies yet. 

And if you're wondering, John and Jackie Chan have collaborated before in a movie called Hand of Death, back when both of them weren't famous. 

Now, I'm going to explain my favorite movies of John Woo:

A Better Tomorrow and A Better Tomorrow 2:
A Better Tomorrow & 2, are about gangs counterfeiting money, and about how the main characters want to turn into a good person, but its really hard to. One of the main character is part of the gang, and his brother is part of the police, and eventually his brother finds out. The first movie is more of a drama movie, and the second movie is more action-packed.

It's really hard to find an english trailer for these two movies, sorry. :P

The Killer:
The Killer is about the main character, who is an assassin (with a good heart), named Jeffrey. One day, when he is killing someone, he accidentally shoots a female singer in the eyes, making her blind. Jeffrey then tries to become friends with her, and soon they are in a relationship. The female singer, Jennie, needs a lot of money for her operation, or she will be permanently blinded. Jeffrey decided to do one last assignment as an assassin to give some money to her. But, Danny, a police officer, is confident that he'll arrest Jeffrey, and they become friends on the way. 

Trailer: 



Bullet in the Head:
Bullet in the Head is about 3 friends, who killed someone, so they move to Vietnam during the Vietnam War to avoid the police. One of the friends find a suitcase of gold, and their friendship splits apart.
I really like this movie because you can see that friends kill each other for money, and you can see what greediness does to them.

This trailer doesn't really show the plot that well, but...




And last, but not least, HARD BOILED.
Most people say that this is the best action movie EVER, and I actually agree.

This film is about a cop, and an undercover cop, teaming up to defeat a powerful gang. And it contains the longest action scenes ever, the final shootout in the hospital lasts for 40 minutes!

Here is the trailer:




And thats it.

I personally think that John Woo's films are better than some of Jackie Chan's films.
You may think from the trailer, that John Woo's films is all action and shootouts, but there is way more to it. Every movie has a meaning, and a lot of symbolism. They actually have a great storyline about friendship, and betrayal. I recommend EVERYONE to check out some of his movies.

And that's all I have to say, I hope this post wasn't that boring.


Bye :)
