Getting off on a Rant : 3D, This Rant is in 3D....Not.

Okay, I have been wanting to get this out of my system for about a little over a year now. I can assume that I will get a lot of negative flack for this from people that don't quite grasp my point, But I accept that I am at home with that feeling. Partly because it is nothing new to me, I tend to attract the weird people that like to argue there point and never admit they are wrong.

Any ways 3D, what can I say about 3D that hasn't already been said? Not a lot but I can give my own perspective on said Fad. For starters, I am one of the vast minority that likes Story over the actual Visual effects. I prefer a well written story that the visuals can back up, but about 95% of all 3D movies are horribly written, If you gave me some time and a team of my friends who are writers we could probably write a better movie that the computer Generated stuff would go well with. Top of my List for this Avatar, I know a lot of you have pointed out the similarity to other movies/Stories and you tell me "O All movies are ripped off of others stories" And that is true, I am not gong to lie and say it's not true. Having said that thought you also have to consider that Avatar dose it 10 Times worse than any other movie, So when I was watching it in 2D (thank god for that mercy) I honestly couldn't fathom seeing it in 3D. 

My dad Pointed this out to me, Every few decades 3D comes back. And I agree it is true 3D is the movie Equivalent of Herpes it just keeps coming back, there is a brief remision and it seems like it's finally gone away but then BAM Back with a vengeance, And there is no current relief in sight of this bull shit.
James Cameron seems to be at the top of this one, By not only making Avatar in 3D, but also saying for the 100th Anniversry of the Titanic Sinking next Year that they will be Re-releasing Titanic in 3D.....Let that sink in for a moment, Do we really need that?

James Cameron isn't the only one bastardizing is old flicks by re-releasing them in 3D George Lucas is joining in the party by Re-releasing all of the Star Wars Movies in 3D, Great so I have the chance of seeing the Shitty Prequel Trilogy in 3D as well as the shitty edited version of 4 - 6  thanks George, you really are doing us a solid on that one.

 I am left sitting here wondering "When will this Die and let me enjoy movies again?" Because I don't enjoy 3D movies, Most of the time the Writing and Acting is so bad they try to mask it over with 3D to make it "Better" and also make a bigger profit off of it because its an extra 3 Dollars for the "right to have 3D" Well what about us  who don't like 3D eh? we're right screwed because we have to look for a theater that has the movie in 2D which is harder than you would think.

Well I have had a good rant and now it's time for me to go back into the dark areas of the Internet where I can find something new that pisses me off. 
Till Next Time Cya in cyber space.

PS: Maybe I should do this every Tuesday, This is the 2nd time I have made A Rant in the course of 2 weeks.

Rant:: Harold Camping and his Rapture BS

First off to Harold Camping, Fuck you. Fuck you and you’re backwards ass, bible thumping, rapture  spewing  bullshit. Now that I have that out of my system, I would like to say that Yes, I am a Catholic and yes I believe in God. But that dose not makes me like Harold Camping because unlike him I know more about the bible. For example Matthew 24:36 (“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”) but our old chum Harold  can’t get passed the old testament. That line that Matthew 24:36 is talking about is more relevant than what the Old Testament says about the end of Days.

Now I usually like to give these Rapture People a good mocking but today, Well after reading about Harold Saying “ O I was 5 months Early” Which actually puts the Rapture/End of the world on my Birthday (Well at least it’s something new to look forward to.) Just because nothing happened on May the 21st , Now I am going to play this out for you in simple logic, By saying “This Will happen on this Date at this time” You effectively changed the outcome, anyone with a basic grasp of physics could tell you that. Putting aside the Physics for now, You are trying to say that you can predict Gods Plans....Not a wise move. I will go back again to Matthew 24:36  did it not say that only God would know?  It’s not like God would all of a sudden go “Pssst There are clues in this book of the bible check it out and tell your friends” so clamming that you can predict this stuff is like trying to have the Toronto Maple Leafs actually win the Stanley cup, I am sure one day it Will happen but it won’t happen any time soon and even then only God will know when it will happen,  You can’t predict something like the end of the world, so stop trying it.

He seems to like predicting the end of the world our Harold, He has now Predicted the Rapture 3 times. 1st time was that he said it would happen in 1994, what happened nothing reasons for this? Mathematical error and it was pushed off 17 years. Then around April 2011 this blew up again, Why? Because the Rapture was set for May 21st 2011 at 6pm Eastern time. Did it happen ? No but we did get a really good meme out of it which still gives me giggles each time I see a Rapture Bomb. Now a few days later he has said “O well I guess it wont happen till October 21st 2011” Really? This is the 3rd time if you’re wrong this time you may get you’re self into some serious shit, Maybe you should re-think telling everyone that the end of the world is coming. But I am guessing since  you didn’t learn you’re lesson the 2nd time you won’t the 3rd time and you’ll keep saying that the Rapture is coming on Blank date  untl the day you die. You will be the boy who cried wolf of Raptures......but the rapture will never come because you will continually tick of god for being pretentious tool.

Now I have said a little about this and I feel a lot better, I don’t think I have had my final say about our Friend Harold but I hope I have, Next time he pisses me off he may not be so lucky for it to be in text. I have a camera and I know how to rant in front of it.

Till next time Cya in cyber space.
