Hello and yes! Drake and I have developed a Blog to talk about our innermost feelings, embarrassing stories, and whatever we feel like on the internet! It's a nice way to get things out, it's cheaper than therapy, and other people get to enjoy my pain. Overall, this is gonna be awesome.
Now, yes, me and Drake have tried blogs before, and both of us failed epically, but together, maybe, just maybe, we can scrape together enough intelligence to maintain this one! We're hoping there's at least going to be a blog a week, and we're planning on the post to be on Wednesday nights. If not, they will be on Friday mornings (we run on Eastern time, just so you know.)
Teaser
I'm going to start by letting you in on a teaser. Me and Drake are planning to work together to develop a podcast with another fellow youtuber whom you may or may not know. Whether or not it will work out, we're not quite sure, but if it does ever happen, look on here for it.
JaDS news
Also, JaDS is now getting updated weekly again. We apologize for any delay that we caused, it's just with vacation and diseases and deaths (ok, maybe not deaths) we couldn't keep up with the show, but we're back to doing it every week.
Leave of Absence?
Another thing is that I, James, will be gone for a week. I'm gonna leave this country and explore the world, and then I will return to meager America. But, that means that Drake will have to cover for me on Posting to this, so expect that much.
Brightside Review (Sucker Punch)
And lastly, seeing as today is Sunday, I thought I'd do a weekly (and by weekly, I mean every two weeks) story/review thing. I find obscure/well known/well hated things on the internet, and look on the positive side of everything. I shall dub it- Brightside Review. Whether or not it will stick, I'm not quite sure.
If you've already seen the movie Sucker Punch, and absolutely was disgusted/hated it for lack of nudity, then you might as well wait another week for the next LB post, but otherwise here I go.
Sucker Punch's story (which isn't that great- in fact, if it weren't for the fighting, I wouldn't have stayed the whole movie) is based in the 1950's and follows a young girl (whose name is never disclosed, but the nickname "Babydoll" is given). Her step-father (who is shown to be either a rapist or an abuser, but either way is the antagonist of her reality), after (once again, we presume because nothing is shown) killing Babydoll's mother, discovers that Babydoll's mother didn't include him in the will. In his anger, he drank his heart out, and went after the two girls. He locked Babydoll after a failed attempt at rape, and went after her sister. Babydoll escapes her momentary prison, rushes for a gun, and shoots her stepfather. She misses (because obviously girls can't shoot- the only time she does it right is in her fantasy (just kidding, in no way am I sexist. Now go make me a sandwhich)) and hits her sister, who dies instantly. The cops arrive, take her away into a mental institution where the madness ensues.
Upon entering the institution, the real movie begins to start. She hears a psychologist telling her to, "free her mind," and in doing show she appears in a whore house. She, herself, is recruited as an Orphan; the owner of the mental institute is portrayed as the, "pimp," and the rest of the girls there are shown as dancers and prostitutes.
I can't go into more detail without ruining the movie for most (which I wouldn't mind doing, to tell you the truth) but overall the movie's plot was slightly lacking. Where it lacked, though, the music, special effects, and fight scenes all made it up. The fight scenes were something out of a DnD game gone mad, girls wielding guns twice their size, wearing clothes extremely tight (though there were, once again, no nude scenes or girl-on-girl action, which disappointed most. In my opinion, it wouldn't been that great; the actors were hot, but I didn't pay $8 for porn, I paid for mindless fighting.) So, I actually enjoyed the movie. In my words (after just watching the movie), "It was like having dopamine force fed on an IV while smoking weed and watching Ultraviolet. Except, it was better."
I'd give the movie 4/5, the stories lacking didn't hurt the movie as much as everyone claims, and the action scenes are definitely worth getting out of the house for.
This concludes the Brightside Review, and remember, "Always look on the Brightside of life."
