>:O
Okay, originally I was only planning on discussing a few movies that I've seen lately in this post, but another topic has been raised to my attention that I am thuroughly upset about. I still will tell you about the movies, though, since I really have nothing better to do. But.. damn.

Anyway, I've been seeing quite a few movies these past couple days. They're all pretty good movies, too, ranging from action to comedy, and a thin line inbetween.

The first movie that I saw lately was 'Phone Booth', on Monday night using On Demand with Comcast (On Demand basically lets you choose what you want to watch, when you want, free of charge, and you can pause and rewind and stuff). I had heard a lot of mixed reactions about this film, but it seemed intruiging to me, and I hadn't gotten a chance to see it in theaters when it came out. Overall, I think I liked the film a decent amount. It had some good actors, and well played parts, and it was interesting to see how an entire thriller movie would be played out inside of this telephone booth. Without giving too much away, it's about this guy named Stu who has been cheating on his wife, and a sniper who literally accounts for every situation in order to "teach him a lesson". Sounds kind of strange, I know, but it's one of those things that you have to see for yourself.

The next movie that I saw, I rented from Blockbuster, called 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels'. It's this awesome British gangster film (yes, there are gangsters in England) with literally over 20 main characters to keep track of. So many main characters really gave the film a lot of depth in story line once you are able to keep track of them (which usually entails you to watch the film more than once), and if you liked 'Snatch', you'll love this film, basically because it's the same producers, some of the same actors, and almost acts like a prequal to it. Highly recommended, and I think I'm going to buy the movie when I bring it back.

The final movie that I saw over the past couple days was.. um.. *cough* Half Baked. Despite being filled to the brim with marijuana and actually having kids in the movie appear to actually be smoking it, it's a hilarious classic. Trust me, when you do get past your drug morals, it is pretty funny to watch, though I would recommend not to watch it around your parents. :p

Okay, now to discuss the issue that I mentioned earlier. Well, my mom just got back from attending a meeting at my new school, which is opening up next year. As it turns out, the schedule will not be exactly like what I have now in my current school. Sure, the starting and ending time will aparently be the same, but during classes.. there are no longer 8 periods in a day. This is because lunch becomes seperate, and goes from 45 minutes (what we have now) down to 30 minutes, and the classes go up from 45 minutes to 50 minutes each. And that's not all. We're running on a block schedule for period 4 and 5, which is going to switch off everyday with 90 MINUTE PERIODS. First off all, how the hell do they plan to scedule that? Would only specific classes be block? Only English and Math, for example? What if you get out early, or aren't taking a Math? Or both? lol God, and I though 45 minutes in each class was tough. I'm in trouble, next year, but at least I'll be leaving with a new experience where I have to deal with a problem that has been presented. :/

One last thing before I go.. please lend Shin your support and love.

And Arcadia, too. Can't forget her.
