Spring Semester is coming up fast, but I do hope everyone has a Merry Christmas before the next semester starts of school.And That's all I'm going to say on the subject of my school life.
Now for the real point in my update, because although you can't see it, i am quite excited.
A week ago I, just for shits and giggles, entered into a drawing at my favorite game store "Vintage Stock" to try and win a free ticket to see the Movie "Avatar" directed by James Cameron. I haven't really heard much of the movie except for a few things, so I wasn't immensely exited about it or anything, just mildly interested. So, again, for the hell of it, I entered.
Two days ago I wake up to find that I've received a voice mail from Vintage Stock. I had won the drawing and needed to go pick up my tickets before twenty four hours was up. So, naturally I did. With a bit of shock too because I don't WIN drawings EVER! yet managed to do so. Once I got my ticket, it was for an "admit two" so I had to bring a friend and realized it was going to be in the Imax theatre at my local AMC on the 17th. Bwahaahaha to all of you who have to wait 'til midnight to see it on the 18th!!
Ahem... I resume.
I got off work today, picked up my friend, grabbed some popcorn, and got my seat after waiting in line for close to thirty minutes. Ended up getting some damn good seats too (right in the middle.). Then had to wait for about another hour for the entire place to fill up, nearly fell asleep, but then the lights went down and the movie started and up went back my attention!
It was in 3D.
Not spy Kids 3 3D where they promote it so much and make a big deal out of it only to come up with horse shit. (as in no 3d) but literal 3d. There were times when ash fell in the screen and it seemed so close to my face that I wanted to swat at it, but of course I would have just swatted at thin air and looked like an idiot. Obviously, as you all can guess, I've never been to an IMAX theatre before. Well that's a lie, I saw Star Trek at the IMAX. It just wasn't in 3d damnit!
Now, for the movie... There is no possible word or phrase that I can use to describe how much it tantalized my brain, entranced me, pulled me and made me a part of it. I have said "oh my god" over its brilliance about two hundred times now since the movie let out and that still doesn't seem enough. I have called it epic, but that FEELS so...underated just to say and I could go on and on and on about how bloody brilliant it was and STILL think I haven't found the right words to express it with. I honestly don't think I ever will.
Yes, all of you reading this, I have watched the new Avatar Movie, and I returned with a movie that will be on TOP of my favorite movie lists for years to come. I don't think it WILL get beaten EVER and was even caught saying "That was better than lord of the rings, da vinci code, star trek and 300!" I never say such things about Lord of the Rings! Never!! But it's true, AVATAR has topped it and I do not think even the other Avatar (The last Air bender one) can top it. They may have the same title, but... well being as I know the premise of the Airbender already, I can flat out say, this one's far far better and will stay that way.
So, to end this journal, I'm BLOODY freaking excited without the proper words to express the brilliance of this movie. If any of you weren't thinking of watching it before, I say START thinking about it! And if you just weren't going to see it, I say SEE IT!! SEE IT!!
It is worth the money. And this is coming from someone who got to see it for free.
P.S. I say worth the money because I am already making plans to see it for a third time on New years.
