Character interpretation is something that is done in the entertainment business frequently. It's done to offer varied perspective, as well as alternate possibilities. We all know that there is more than one side to a story. So it was fun to see a look at what someone else thinks could have been a possibility for one of my favorite characters, Harley Quinn.

What's on the Screen? Pom Poko
Movies are something that a lot of us take for granted. But I've had the pleasure to watch a variety of different films of late, and I'm going to share my thoughts about a few of them with you over time. Today I want to tell you about a film we watched called Pom Poko. Now I know not everyone has heard of it, and I'm sure some people consider it to be a classic. But I've only seen it for the first time recently.
This movie was absolutely adorable. It centers around a group of racoons and their homes. It also gives racoons the ability to transform. Throughout the movie this leads to some adorable images. It also helps them as they try to solve their problems.
The movie (spoilers here) focuses on the idea of urban sprawl and the problems it causes to nature. Human buildings invading the countryside reduce the space for animals to have their own habitats and homes. This is a fact that most people can understand, but to see it displayed and presented the way it is in the film leads to a number of questions.
But the biggest one is what can people do about it? While we cannot expect other folk to do the same things that we do, we should remember that our own choices change the things around us whether we can see these changes or not.
I do recommend this as a film to share with the family. While smaller children may not understand what the film is really saying, they will find humor in some of the situations. As with most Ghibli films the artwork is beautiful and the landscapes are as beautiful as paintings, so the film has points for everyone to enjoy.

I like this video because of the colors in the video. I'm not entirely sure what type of video it is. But it's interesting. It has a horror like aesthetic, and it has a sad story.

Fifty Shades of Grey (MUSIC) & Personal Update
Yeah, I know that I haven't been posting regularly for a while. But by now I'm sure that some of you that are regulars know what the reasons really is. Anyways, some of what I'm posting today is cut over from a different blog. But don't worry, I totally have permission to do it. (After all, I wrote it ^_~)
You know, I'm sure the few of you that remember a write up I did about the book 50 Shades of Grey(if you missed it, that's fine it was at another location and I'd prefer not to have it here), know how I feel about the idea of a movie. I'm far from, excited about it. But I was intrigued when I logged into my email at the library and Projekt Records had sent me an email about an album. Not a formal one, sort of a what if we did it type deal.
So I thought about it for a second and realized that some of you might enjoy a chance at experiencing the album too. After all, we all like new music.
Check it out at the Projekt Records Web site.
(No this is not spam, it's more of a rush rush rush I wanna post something so you all know that I haven't forgotten you more than anything else.)
As far as the MOVIE is concerned, I have mixed feelings really. I assume that they will have sanitized it to some degree in order to be able to show it in movie theaters and not be classified as pornography. So we shall see what happens when it does finally release.
We already know it will get a great turnout initially due to the books popularity. But that doesn't mean that the movie is good. It just means that there are a lot of people that are interested in seeing the imaginary brought to play visually.
^_~ Anyway check out the album and we'll see you soon, I hope ~_~
Miss you all tons
_______________________________________________
It's been a long while since I've posted anything. I do apologize for that. I'm sorry that I've been offline. But you already know that there's not much that I can do about it. Yet that's besides the point. I'm sure if you're still reading the blog, you're more interested in what I've been up to.
The past few months have been a rather strange adventure.
In December I had the pleasure of experiancing my first Christmas themed haunted houses. Now you might think that it sounds strange, but it was a fun thing. I went to them with my good friends. So a small group, but far better than going alone.
New years eve, I went to Niagara Falls with my brothers and their significant others. Why? I'm sure many of you know how cold it is all over the north east parts of north america. So the idea of being out in the cold at night seems to be a bit stupid. Yeah, it was a bit of an odd idea with it being so cold.
But there was a concert at the Hard Rock Cafe, free to anyone who wanted to come to the guitar drop. It was great. We missed the first of the three bands. But we got to see Dirty Smile, and Theory of a Deadman. It was a lot of fun and the bands handled the cold well. The crowd was a bit smaller than they were probably expecting. But you can be sure that the people that were there enjoyed it.
Dirty Smile : Siren
January, was been a month full of cold days. It was rather bitter. Beyond that there's not a lot to complain about. But even so there isn't really a lot to be declaring fantastic either. But I guess this is enough of an update for now.
For those with more curiosity, that may know me better, there's more. You always know that there's more. But right now, y'all don't really need to hear about problems. As February rolls in, let's just hope that things start to improve. that's all we can ask for
