This movie sucked...hard...

The music was bad. The lyrics to that already bad music were even worse. The movie was too damn short. It had plot holes that I can't believe they got away with. And, to top it all off, it's going to revive the "goth kid" movement, and I hate the goths as much as I hate the "emo-****".

I'm dead. "Chocolate Factory" had some better semblence of post-modernism to it, even if it can't top the original, this tried to be "NBC", and failed miserably, definatly one for the livejournal hot topic deadweights.

I saw it tonight. It wasn't all that great. It was no TNBC, that's for sure. All besides one song was pretty bad. I thought the plot was pretty weak too. For the most part, anyways. It was decent, I guess.

Not around here -_- It's popular and "cool" in Cali.

I wish the kids around here would grow up past the age of 15 so Hot Topic won't be "cool" anymore. I'm sick of seeing it and it's embarrassing just to walk in front of it. I'm also tired of people thinking I'm one of them. I make it a point not to buy my clothes in stores for a reason. I don't want to seem like I'm copying anyone and I don't want anyone copying me. So I buy all my clothes online and get all my shirts and sweaters at concerts. That way even if they want the stuff I have they can't get it because the concert was one night only. And the sites I get stuff from no one knows about but me.

It's awesome going to school and being the only one to have on what you do everyday. And knowing that not one other person even owns the same stuff. I've never once seen someone at my school with the same clothes that I wear. And I'd love to keep it that way.They already try to copy me by dyeing their hair red. I was the first one to do it*And everyone knows it* so I guess I atleast have that on them.

Hot Topic is the "in" thing here. I see little girls around the ages of 14 and 15 wearing Slipknot shirts and huge ass leather bondage pants. I mean, it's Florida. It's kind of hot to be goth here.

But yeah, I say we commit mass emo genocide. This ****'s gone on for way too long. Bring me the head of Chris Carrabba. After that, cut the throats and black the eyes of Hawthorne Heights. And then do something really violent yet creative with the Used.

Nightmare Before Christmas wasn't even that amazing of a movie. Why is there a god damn cult following behind it?

Because people need something to do. The "In" thing nowadays is to like something that isn't popular because thats...Cool.

Yes, but you call Kraft Macaroni and Cheese "Kraft Dinner" and lack Cheesasaurus Rex, which is like a crime against humanity.

LIFE!? Woah...hey...that's a little much. I mean, I like the Clockwork Orange a ton, but you don't see me wearing fake eyelashes and prouncing around in odd white costumes with a phallic cane. People take movies way too seriously.

Although there was this entire month where I asked people to hand me my Bad Mother ****er wallet. That was just a phase, though.

Errr...no it is'nt

Its' the "greatest" in your eyes because Hot Topic sell it on thier shirts every week, its' only the "greatest" because the characters dress and speak enchanted Papa Roach, it is not Gone With The Wind, or Bridge On The River Kwai, Kramer vs Kramer, or Educating Rita, its' an hour and a half decent freaking Disney movie

All four of those movies are generally accepted as the best movies ever because everyone else has generally accepted them as the best movies ever. It follows the long trend of that, when someone says that something is awesome, someone else agrees, and it keeps repeating that way. However, I beg to differ. The AFI can suck it (not the punk/goth band, you silly goth kids).

It's like Stairway to Heaven. It's not even close to being the best song ever. It's just so hyped up that everyone likes it because everyone likes it.

While we're at it, (and everyone is going to open a gallon of haterade on me for this) the Godfather Trilogy and Scarface can piss off as well

If I shared that rationality, I'd have easily have called The Incredibles, and half of Pixars' bollocks, oscar worthy, when in fact I only like three of thier movies, so my opinion on those films being excellent stands

Bollocks? You must be from England. Not that anything is wrong with England. I like The Libertines, Blur, Radiohead, Danger Mouse, etc.

But yeah. They're highly overrated. The Oscars overlook great films each year and praise crappy ones. I mean, Gladiator won best picture. It wasn't even decent. Halle Berry won best actress for ****ing Billy Bob Thorton in a bad movie (which was a publicity stunt because the Academy wanted to be racially equal). Don't even mention the Oscars. The Oscars are just there to sell more DVDs.

And let's add 8 1/2 to the list. When I was sober, I didn't care for the movie. When I got really baked and watched it, I had a better understanding of it, but still didn't really care for it.
