Hmmm??? Do I think that all this "end of the world hype" in mainstream movies is creating unnecessary paranoia amongst the people?? Well let's break it down. I am part of the people, and I(myself)have no worries. If I base my existence on a block buster hit my world already has come to an end in my opinion. Yes they twinge my fearful emotions, and really surface the "what if's", but the idea of entertainment value comes to play, and then that thought brings me to consider money, Hollywood, and hype. That's what it's all about these days for the multi-million dollar block buster hit's. Hype brings people, and people bring money. These directors & movie producers just manufacture a Jello mold of the buzz they hear about. These are questions that already exist & subjects people know little about and are curious for more. Topic's that are ALREADY feared! Who are these people? Film makers? Artists? Manipulators? Both? Thats the beauty of it all. Tell me what cha' think.....I am listening....we all are.* Okay if you really want to get your fears pumping I advise you rent a documentary. Documentary's that give real facts, dates, and educated predictions to "end of the world" myths, predictions, and prophecy's. Edgar Casey or Nostradamus for example.
Today I interviewed a very distinguished, children's movie critic. Her name is Autum Rose, an intellectual 6 yr. old, who just so happens to be my beautiful daughter, and my best friend. I sat down with her looking to ask a few questions about the Disney/Pixar movie "WALL-E". I asked her simply, "tell me what the movie Walle is about"? She quickly replied with, " It's the end of the world, well actually all the people go to live in space cause earth is filled with lots, and lots of garbage. That is what WALL-E is for, to clean up all the trash that humans made". This movie takes place 700 yrs. in the future, and is much more than just a sc-fi action cartoon with "really cool robots". It holds the concept of mass destruction (on a much lighter note yes)but still implies a massive change & adjustment for man kind. This can be more positive than negative considering that children are the future. Movies like "Wall-E" bring awareness among the kiddy crowd, showing us that selfish acts against the environment only lead to negative consequences for ALL. Like "tons of icky broken buildings". None the less "WALL-E" has planted the seed of precaution in the young minds of our future.

OKAY, OKAY, the truth comes out. The reason I started this blog was due to a project that has been assigned to me by my Media & Culture instructor Rob Priewe. He has his own blog make sure and check it out This all started out as just an assignment and turned out to be so much more than that. I always knew that blogs existed but really never consider the power they really held. The power of the people that is. We are more prone to listen & absorb the words of our equals vs. some highty tighty journalist or editor that will just make our heads spin. We just want a strait shot of info full of gritty debates, and opinionated subjects to back those debates. We want it easy and quick and more importantly we want to feel as if we have a voice too. I say let the masses gather to share their wisdom. A two way highway of interactive stories instead of a one way street censored by the Monopoly we call the "old" media. I just saw
">"The Book of Eli" on Friday it's opening night. The theater was packed with a variety of ages and cultures. I assured myself this must just be due to opening night, Friday night(being the infamous "date night") or just Denzel's sex appeal alone. I settled into my seat preparing myself for another cliched "end of the world movie" full of seasure starting action sequences, and absolutely no realistic gore to set the end of the world feel. I didn't care, nor did the many others in the audience who had spent there hard earned money to be where they were at that moment. We all were there (I believe)for the realm of self chosen fear that would soon engulf us(if we let it). I thought the movie was great it blew my opinion of "end of the world movies" out of the water. I soon realized I could no longer put all of the "end of the world movies" in one shitty category. The Book Of Eli was both touching and as realistic and gritty as a rated "R", Hollywood, mainstream flick can be. It dealt with power, greed, self sacrifice, heroism, and purpose. Powerful emotions that can ruin a movie if not applied correctly. Mad props to dynamic director duo (brothers)Allen & Albert Hughes for changing my mind, and hopefully many others about "end of the world movies". Now I don't necessarily look down upon "end of the world movies". NOT AT ALL. I actually love the way they pull at my heartstrings and challenge my real life fears. This is something vampires and ware wolves can not! Because we apply the, " oh my god this could really happen" element to our thinking. as awful and as unrealistic as they may be I completley feed off that drop off heavy hoplessness that stews in my stomach when I apply the "what if that really happened" factor to my thought process through out watching the movie. "End of the world flicks" are the appifany of a true horror film. We love to scare ourselves(or try anyways) through watching movies and then complain about how it didn't after. Still going back for more again, and again. We eat these types of movies up. We keep cozying up with a coke and wasting our lives for two hours for a one star flick that we will just complain about all next week at the office, classroom, or job site. Why do we support this vicious cycle. FOR SURE check "The Book of Eli" out, and you may be surprised. You may hate it, want your money back, or agree with me completely. Either way PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, let me know. Let us know....were listening. In the meantime check out what movieblog.com had to say about Denzel's latest.. ******************************************************** LUV NIZZY*******************

Nizzy's First "official post"...
Hello fellow blogger's and blogget's,
I am a first time blog creator, but that's okay because I get the sweet satisfaction of instant gratification when I share,or state opinions I feel strongly about, thus for contributing to the big picture.(and who doesn't love that?)I get to be the public's movie, food, or porn critic, or hell ALL three in the same evening if I wanted to. All because of these "3" elements of power...The keyboard, the web, and MOST importantly me! The consumer turned critic. HA HA HA what a marvelous age we live in. With little to no schooling, lack of grammar, and cooth will most likely be discarded among the millions of pioneer, personal writers starving to type their opinions/debates right into our retinas. I think that's why we have all been eagerly swarming around our computers googling, linking, and searching for a 200 max character box to express our deepest emotions passions and more importantly our OPINIONS. That's why I come to you today, to express my personal experiences, opinions,& debates about movies. For the time being I will be discussing "end of the world movies" and their impact,if any on our oh so impressionable society. Please be blunt, honest, real, and slightly educated about the subject your ranting on about but whatever you do please share with us all.....we are listening.
