Star Wars and the NOOOO Add on

It seems that George Lucas is at it again, and this time he is now messing around with the Star Wars film by adding the Darth Vader "NOOOOO" into the Return of the Jedi film.  This isn't the first time that George Lucas has messed around with the Star Wars films, if you remember before the first prequel film was coming out, he added in the episodes to the original films, and changed the first film title from Star Wars to Star Wars: A New Hope, and when they released the digital remastered star wars film on DVD, he change the end of the 6th film by replacing the old age Anikin Skywalker with the young Anikin Skywalker from the 2nd and 3rd films.

But while these are miner things, but adding new lines to a film that has been out for decades is complete outraged, and there is no need for it to be added in the first place.  People who aren't big fans of the series or has never heard of it (in which case, where have you been) won't think anything of it, but to those who are huge fans of the series have been angered by this news and have lashed out over it.

I personally think that George Lucas is just messing around with the Star Wars films now and that he should stop messing around with them and start a completely new Star Wars trilogy, that doesn't involve most of the characters, but introduces new characters, new planets, a completely new insight to the Star Wars universe and maybe not have a jedi as the main protagonist (I'm just saying), and what this will do is not also bring in new stories, but new fans into the Star Wars universe (again I'm just saying).

I've put a link below of the clip so you can see it for yourself.

Web sites that I and you can't live without.

Ever since the start of my teenage life I started using the internet more and more each day and I only ever used it to find out a few things and then I would turn off the computer and go on playing video games.  But it was wheb I was started working and going to college that I started using the internet for other reasons, and I thought for this blog that I name a few web sites that we can not live without in our lives today.  Social networks have been around for years now and a lot of people have their favorite sites, but my favorite and has been since the start of this year has been facebook. it is one of the easiest social networking site to use and most of my friends are on it too. I love to watch tv shows, music videos and other stuff to, and thats why youtube is the one web site that i use quite a lot. I tend to watch Yu-Gi-Oh shows for Japan, music videos and some video blogs on it and I can't what i would without it. I tend to like know things that other people know, even though it can be a bit useless sometimes and that is where Wikipedia comes in to the picture. I would have never known that Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time sold over 7.6 million copies and plots to films and tv shows and among other thnings to. But the one web site that we can't even think of living with out and we all use it like everyday and that web site is called Google. Think about it. If you were having trouble in finding a certain site and it has taken you ages to find it, google will find the site you want in a matter of seconds and I tend to use it to find Wikipedia sometimes. All these web sites has marked their stamp in to our lives and if it wasn't for them, we would have been lost and the internet might have not been this popular to this day.

The Film of the Summer is Over Shadowed by Bad Films.

As the summer is now over and we start to save up for christmas and even new years now, i would like to look back at this summer's best film, Scott Pilgrim vs The World.  This film is just awesome, orgainal and is a film that to see for your own eyes and even know Micheal Cera plays Scott Pilgrim, this film to me is what could be a life changing carreer to the characters he usually plays. But even though this has been praised by film reviewer and critics alone. many people have avoided his film to see another film called Grown Ups, were its just about 5 middle aged men trying to relive their childhoods and jokes that you see coming straight away, and this got me thinking in to way to we love to see bad films that we know that are going to suck and still go to see if they can prove you wrong.  One of  my friends said that he wanted to see the Scott Pilgrim film, but because it was to over hyped that he decided that he didn't want to see, yet the Expendables was very over hyped and that turn out to be one of the worst and disappointing films this year.  If you are not agreeing with hear then think about this.  The new Resident Evil movie was out last week and you all know that the other film were rubbish and yet you know that this one is going to be the same and you still go out your way to see the film so that you can be proven wrong and it works.  We as a nation just love things that are either bad or aweful and there's nothing can do about it. I mean think about this one for a moment. Jedward were the worst acts on last years X-Factor and yet they got to the live stages and didn't get voted out unitl week 5 or 6 I think.  Now this is just my view on this and people won't change over night, but if you thnink a film is going to be rubbish, wait until it comes out on dvd and you could save yourself some money in the end up.

3D, is it the future or a thing of yesteryear?

Just when you were just getting used to HD TV and HD Televisions are now getting much cheaper. BANG!! 3D comes in and changes the way we watch films and even TV.  But, is this the way forward and if so, whats the catch?  Firstly 3D is nothing new and we have seen it before all before in cinema's.  I think the first film in 3D was a kids movie, and it was called Spy Kids 3D. But now these days most films you see in the cinema are in 3D and to be honest, most of the films aren't really that good.  Now there's even 3D televisions on sale and the first of these new TV's went on sale back in Apirl for only £2000.  If you want to go and see a 3D film there is two things you need to bear in mind. Firstly, it will cost nearly or over £10 and that's quite a lot these days, even if you planning to see the film over and over again and that's a bit much. And secondly, you have to wear these 3D glasses and it can sometimes ruin the moment if you know what i mean.  The one thing I don't want to be coming home everytime from college or work and have to put on these 3D glasses so I could watch, and even though blu-ray films are starting to get much cheaper now and I don't 3D DVD's will ever be a very good idea, that's if they ever decide to make that happan.  All this I think is just a phase that people go throw and will soon not care about 3D TV that much, but on the plus side, I think that people would still like to see 3D films in the cinema and that's fine by me.
