The Nostalgia Movie meme!


 

How to play:

1) Post with your character, including the title of the movie you want to play out. Whoever tags you will come up with a scenario to play out from said movie.
2) No movies from after 2000!
3) If you can't pick a movie, there are some RNG options below!

RNG:


1) Jurassic Park
- You visit a park filled with real dinosaurs! What could go wrong?

2) Scream
- So what's your favorite scary movie?

3) Labyrinth
- Oh, David Bowie...oh yeah I guess there's a labyrinth to explore and goblins to fight I guess.

4) Hook - Welcome to Neverland!

5) Small Soldiers
- These toys are pretty lifelike! Maybe a little too lifelike, when they try to kill each other and anyone who stands in their way.

6) Disney Movies - From Beauty and the Beast to the Lion King

7) Space Jam - You've been forced into a basketball game...against space invaders.

8) Jumanji
- It's all fun and games until your game comes to life and tries to kill you.

So last couple of posts I mentioned my Vampire the Requiem tabletop game, that ended with Batman going all blood frenzy on a mobster. Well thanks to that hot mess, he miiiight get killed by the Prince next session if the questioning doesn't go too well. What does that mean for my character? Well I play Robin, so that means I might get promoted to Nightwing.

Or die. I might die too.

Anywho, looked up the new list of episodes of My Little Pony episodes. There's one where Rainbow Dash learns to appreciate books after being stuck in a hospital? I actually have my complaints on how Rainbow Dash is portrayed this season. It's weird because it's their character and they can do what they want, but have you ever had a character that felt kind of out-of-character in their own canon?

Anyway, they've made Rainbow Dash more of an asshole this season, and it's a little bit grating. There's something I don't really care for about this season, and I can't put my finger on it (well maybe the ridiculous number of Cutie Mark Crusader episodes. I like them but come on now). It kinda feels like the worst parts of all the characters' personalities are getting shoved in your face more.

Not to say this season is bad, just something feels a little off. Then again the season is still pretty new, so I'll keep giving it a chance.

You know for a while there was a point where I didn't feel stressed out about my RPing. Even if I thought people weren't interested in my characters, I'd tag anyway. I'd force plotting oocly, I'd jump in conversations, try to make myself involved despite everything.

Now? I find myself second guessing everything. I get worried about responding to other people's plotting stuff, get worried about tagging people, worry about trying to involve myself in other people's conversations. Worry, worry, worry.

And now I think I've accidentally made myself distant to people. I keep telling myself "get over it dammit, it's just RP!" and yet I still struggle along. All of this, is irrational of course. I just wish I could drill that into my brain.

I think stressing over real life problems aren't helping either. Blah, I guess if no one's complaining I shouldn't worry about who I tag.

Anyway those are my emo problems of the day. I promise I'll try to hold back on these, it's just nice to be able to ramble on sometimes.

And now for real life things!

I'm making a Derpy Hooves plush for a friend, and a Supernatural plush for another friend. I have patterns for both now, I just need to get my ass in gear.

It's been a hellish week, I've been broke since last Sunday and I've been working since last Sunday. Friday is when things look up, I'll have money and a couple days off! Of course, with my hours going down this means I gotta get serious about job hunting too. I don't wanna work at this job forever.

So I was reading through my old LJ journal. Looking back, it's almost like I was a completely different person back then. I gotta say, that journal has documented about 12 years of my life. I'll be sad if anything ever happens to it.

But that's not what I'm making a post about!!

So I've watched Tangled for the second time over the weekend, and I gotta say I have a minor pet peeve about the movie. While I think the movie itself does a good job following the Disney formula and I think overall it's really good, there's something that really bugs me about this film.

The opening and ending narration.

Flynn makes a terrible narrator. I think it's just the way he narrates, like he can't decide if he should make the narration funny or serious, and it comes off being neither. I can really get into the movie otherwise, but once Flynn starts trying to narrate it just kind of ruins the whole whimsical, fairytale effect for the movie. It's a part of the movie that really just drives me mad.

And I dislike most narration in films anyway. In some cases it works, in other cases it just feels rushed and lazy. Here it felt rushed and lazy.

Not really something worth making a post over, but oh well.

Okay so for those who don't know (which is probably all of you), I'm in a Vampire the Requiem tabletop game that I play in every Friday night. My character is essentially the female version of Robin, who fights along a vampire version of Batman. Both of our characters were sired by Alfred, who intends on recreating a Batman-esque universe in Chicago.

Basically what my character does is assist Batman and fight crime. Pretty simple stuff (except I'm horrible at dice rolling and fail everything ever). Except for tonight's session.

We left off at a cliffhanger in the last game, where Batman and Robin face off against a Russian mob (led by another player character) who was forcing some poor guy to hand over all his money that he owed them. We were pretty much outnumbered, but hey we gotta do what we gotta do. And that's when shit got crazy. For one, my character's physical traits are decent but that's about it. And in a heavy combat situation decent might as well mean suck. Batman and a bigger dude started brawling and the bigger dude was winning. Meanwhile I had about four other people to take on as Robin.

So I used smoke bombs to give myself an advantage because well, I suck at combat. And it lasted forever for my character and the other player character going back and forth with damage and nothing really happening.

Unfortunately for me, the bigger dude actually knocked Batman in torpor. Another player character showed up to scare off two other people in the mob, but I was still getting my ass handed to me. Not even the smoke from the smoke bombs could really help me out here, so eventually I had to get my ass outta there and I got onto the roof of a building.

And then Batman woke up. In blood frenzy.

He started draining the other player character, and the GM started rolling to see if he'd gain blood addiction and well...pretty much become a villain. There was also the serious problem of breaking the masquerade, because the police were gonna show up at any moment. And well...bad things would happen if the police caught a frenzied Batman draining someone. Right before that happened, he finally calmed down enough to get the heck out of there, and the members of the Russian mob were caught by the police while Batman and Robin escaped.

So yeah, not exactly a graceful way to stop your enemies, but oh lord we were lucky we were still alive by the end of that session. Or that Batman didn't turn evil on us. Talk about a tense session.

I can update twice in one day shhh.

I think I've noticed a pattern between what I write on here and what I write on Plurk. The stuff I tend to write here tends to be more happier and I feel more like myself when writing a bunch of tl;dr shit that people don't care about. It sounds silly, but using a personal blog to get my feelings out does a hell of a lot better than trying to use a Plurk. It kind of feels like I have more of a voice, regardless if people are reading this or not.

I just think I'm not really cut out for this fast-paced social networking thing, it's the reason I could never use a facebook and why I stopped using Twitter about a month after using it. I can't be a cool kid noooo.

Not that I'll really stop using my Plurk, as that would just be shooting myself in the foot RP-wise.

Not like this is meant to sound like complaining, it's not. It's actually kind of a relief in a way. It sort of brings me back to the days where I used to use my personal LJ to ramble on about RL and RP stuff. Having a personal blog has been a wonderful writing outlet so far, and maybe next time I'll have other interesting things to say.

If this didn't make any sense then uhh...I blame it being late...or something... /runs away!

Howdy there!

Welp, I gotta say seeing some of your RP games getting moved to DW is pretty exciting! Two games are still voting, but one is definitely confirmed! So awesome. If all my games move, I'll be saying my farewell to LJ. Kind of weird, since I've been using LJ since I was 13. Strangely enough I'm not too torn up about it. I mean heck, I've had my bags packed for DW for a while now.

Anywho, real life things! I have a 3DS and I have Skyrim, so guess what's been consuming my life lately?

And my friends have gotten me hooked on Dr. Who lately, so when I hang out with them that's usually what we watch now. I have another friend who I hang out with, and when I hang out with her we usually watch Supernatural. I can't complain, since I rarely watched TV before and now I have two series to watch!

I want to RP Crowley. He's just...so sassy and I love him.

And I'm still job hunting. I'm hoping the job market will open up soon because I'm still pretty nervous. There's nice jobs I'm qualified for at least give me a chance dang it.

I don't know how to end this post, so here.

Saw the Adventures of TinTin last night with a couple friends of mine. I had my doubts about it, because I actually hate rotoscope animation with a fiery passion, but for this film? It actually worked well for it. Color me surprised.

It's visually a gorgeous movie, so much so that you get actually get lost in the animation. I know this will probably be all I ramble on about, but I can't stress enough how beautiful this film was animated. The flow of the movie was just fantastic.

As far as the plot goes, it's your typical mystery/action story. A lot of the big reveals are done halfway through the film, surprisingly enough, so there's no super huge plot twist at the very end. But it's an enjoyable film if you like action/adventure stuff, and while I don't know much about the TinTin comics it did have kind of the old adventure story feel to it.

I gotta say, TinTin himself is kind of a bland character, most of what he does is motivated to "discover the great mystery!!" or "get the latest story!!" I mean, that's really all there is to his character, but from what I've read that's how he is in the comics too. The Captain was great, and hell, the Snowy actually did more of the work in this movie then any of the other characters.

All in all, I really recommend this movie, even if you don't care much for the typical action adventure stories it's visually stunning and the movie itself is very entertaining. I look forward to the not so subtly implied sequel if it's anywhere as good as this film.

Now for non-movie related things, my friend actually gave me a Twilight Sparkle and a Mario plush for Christmas. After a very crappy holiday season (and I mean very, very crappy), it was probably one of the nicest things I've had happen to me in a while. I actually really wanted some MLP stuff, but I was too afraid to ask because...well, it's My Little Pony. Luckily I have awesome friends who are also into the series as much as I am. And now I'm in the process of trying to make her a Derpy Hooves doll because I am broke but I still want to make Christmas gifts for my friends.

In Christmas news, my shopping is now done! I just have to survive Xmas Eve tomorrow and I'll finally be free. ...Maybe a little too free, since my job decided I don't need hours anymore after the holiday season.

Here's hoping I find more work after the holidays! Also, I need more icons.

Hey guys!!

I suppose I should do some kind of intro since this is my first Dreamwidth post. I'm Dante, 25-year-old college grad who's done some work with film in the past. Some of my hobbies include movies (especially movies of the hilariously bad variety), roleplaying, cosplaying, video games, and sewing!

Some of my fandom interests include Professor Layton, MST3k, Supernatural, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Minecraft, MLP, Pokemon, and probably many more I'm forgetting.

My real life is not that interesting and you might end up hearing about my adventures in retail.

See you soon!
