DW

For those that don't know, there is another 'me' that is within me.  He is my creation and my curse.  His laugh is like madness and his eye's blaze red...
He doesn't really have a name.  But he has been called many things.
Glitch, Necro, Spri, Nul...
Later it was Surive and even Dead Man.  
But he is a part of me.  And finally came to the name DW.
Soon I will try to finish his look.  But I have got his sound and talking pat down. 

(On a side note - He isn't real.  Just a character I have made up.)
(Yeah I am, he's just trying to cover his ass.)
(Wait... what?  How did you write that?)
(I can do whatever I want.  I am the real you.)
(No you're not!  I am me.)
(Can you prove it?) 
(Your taste in movies is proof.)
(What's wrong with my movies?)
(They are emotionally scarring and weird as hell, not to mention have no real reason in being except to make people hate themselves because they are cruel and... )
(People need those movies to be stronger.  They need to see the worse so they can take on there own problems with power and experience.  They need to be beaten down, so they can stand back up again.)
(Well I have already seen the worse one.  Nothing you can do can make me be beaten down.)

Oh dear Will... you haven't even seen the worse disturbing movies.

What I feel like doing...

Writing and creating. 
I've watched some new movies... but I feel like working on my own story.
And not the side story or the detective story or the vampire story or zombie story...
But just my Shadow Kings story. 

(Damn, I have so many different stories...)

I've finished the total outline a long while ago... but it's hard to fill in the little detail.
So (maybe) I wanted to try and fill out some on here.

But what?... hmm...

Hitchcock - A Disappointed Review

Sorry for the long delay... ALOT of things have gone down.  Including getting my back fixed, being forced on a diet, talking with my first ex-girlfriend, Matt leaving for a couple of months to get a big paycheck... and ALOT of work.  I've also entered into an art contest and got a honorable mention.

But among all this, I've been watching movies.
Some good, some bad, and some classic.

Before I go into the main review, let me say a quick word about -

Troll Hunter
When I first saw this trailer, I thought it to be just a weird version of The Blair Witch Project... but actually it was pretty good.  I really enjoyed it in a badass kinda way.  I probably would have enjoyed it better without the dub though...

Sherlock
The modern version of Sherlock Holmes is good.  Real good.  Maybe some people were disappointed in Moriarty... but it is a little problem and still enjoyed the whole thing.  Definitely recommend.

I also recommend Sharpe's movies and Blackadder.... but more on those later.


And now... for Hitchcock.
For many years I have heard many thing about Hitchcock.  About his direction and story play is legendary and his movies are inspiring...
Years ago...
Now, they have not aged well.  Much to my disappointment.   I have not seen all of them, but I have seen the four big ones in his list.  And besides one... the other three have made me just... disappointed.

 Which 3 disappointed me?  Let's start with...

The Birds
This definitely didn't age well.  The story makes barely no sense besides birds attack... for no apparent reason than they can.  The love story is weak and out of no where.  I can see trailers for today making that the main focus and then putting the attacking birds as a surprise... but it's still stale and slow.  Good effects though on some parts... but it's obvious now which ones are fake and the noise that they make... my god that is some horrible scratching of my eardrums... which works but still...
It wasn't cliche... so it has that.

Vertigo
Another slow one... and the title has very little in the plot.  It's mostly a mystery romance tragedy.  Just... argh!  Seemed mostly slow, boring and kinda sad (in a pathetic way).  I can see why it has a following... but really, I couldn't stand it.    

And... this may surprise some -

Psycho
This... was seriously a huge disappointment.  And I don't mean from the twist or the killer or any of the stuff known about it... just that the story is horrible.  And slow... 
This is when I realized it didn't age well.  Even seeing the new version (which is a shot for shot remake) made me see how slow and boring it was.  The killer part (no spoiling for the new ones) is really fun and made me jump once at how quick and simple it was... but the rest... like the cleaning up, the money plot, and the intro... just made me shake my head. 


I remember as a kid seeing at Universal Studios a special on Hitchcock.  It was fun and very cool to watch... but that was many years ago and just... disappointed in how little it made me feel.  Granted Psycho did have it's moments... but nothing that I didn't need to make it a great movie.
