The Girl in Red’s Weblog











{November 26, 2008}   Well, HI!!!!!

Yes, hello again. Getting into Heroes and Bones right now, but seven are about to temporarily stop Bones again. That kinda sucks.

So, Twilight came out in the US and I’ve been hearing mixed reviews from the fanatics of the series. Of course, you get idiots everywhere. This has led to the Goddess website earning itself a particularly irritating troll using two usernames. Here is one of his posts:

I went to the local Barnes and Nobles to see if I could buy my daughter some books to educate and develop her brain. I was shocked to find the entire “Teen” section of Barnes and Nobles adorned with nothing but vampire novels. Not just “Twilight” related books, but books that have nothing to do with Twilight. Books that have a vampire theme to them. IT was rather sickening to see. From “Suck It Up” to “Blood and Chocolate” to some other oddly named piece of pervasive garbage after another I was in a whirlwind of terror as I realized that the next generation of children are being bred to become nothing more and nothing less than soulless vampires that like to drink other people’s blood.
Another thing that I found very disturbing was a group of teenage girls who were mocking the title “Suck It Up.” They were making hand gestures with their tongues, lips, and hands. They were talking really loud, upsetting patrons, and making obscene and rude comments using euphemisms for the word “suck” and it’s related sexual act. An act that I shall refrain from saying here.
Is this what our world has come to? Kids are turning into promiscuous, blood-sucking, deranged and immoral vampires, creatures of the night that stalk and pervert any and all aspects of purity that come before it?! As a father of a precious twelve-year-old jewel, Emily Rose, my daughter, I find it increasingly disturbing that there is a market available to quench the eternal blood thirst of teens for all things vampire related. What upsets me most is the multitude and the cavalcade of vampire related books available for kids to see. This is rather disturbing indeed. Indeed. In. Deed.

This person didn’t seem to realise that Blood and Chocolate is about werewolves. I looked it up.

And here is another under their original username (actually, their original post):

After a long day of studying her science books, I let my daughter out of her room so that she could catch up on some reading. She loves to read. I allowed her to read the “Twilight” novels, but after watching the sickening, gratuitous, and immoral movie, I decided not to let her read the novels. Instead, she transitioned into reading “Of Mice and Men” — but I did tear out the pages of the last chapter in which George shoots Lennie in the head. Anyways, she said she didn’t understand some of the symbolism and wanted to go on the internet to see sparknotes.com so that she could understand what the symbology meant. I let her do so. I knew that she wouldn’t go to any other mischievous sites such as this, mainly because she was using the family computer and not my laptop, because the family computer has state-of-the-art protection against filthy material. These programs that facilitate the blocking of such filthy websites are known as “blockers.”
Well, she was on the internet and I go to check on her and I see her watching clips from the movie “Twilight” on YouTube. I was furious. I pulled the phone cord out of the modem and told her to go to her room and read there. I followed her and sat in front of her, watching, watching like a hawk. I watched her, never blinking, and staring into her criss-crossing eyes as she rapidly read the first chapter of “Of Mice and Men” before her reading time was up. While watching my precious daughter, I was suddenly faced with the realization that filth is everywhere in our world. It’s not just relegated to the cinemas. I though I could have my precious jewel-of-a-daughter escape the bloodlust that is “Twilight” once out of the theater; I was wrong. I realized that the pervasive nature of “Twilight” can be found right in our homes thanks to the corruption of the internet and the mischievous website known as YouTube.
If my precious daughter wanted to go on YouTube and watch some videos, I wouldn’t mind. I just wish the videos were of a pure nature. I wish that she would watch something that was not immoral, was fun for everyone including the whole family, and contained light-hearted and wonderful poetic moments. Videos such as this one:

I just hope my daughter has learned her lesson. I thought she would be saved since I nearly dislocated her arm dragging her out of the theater yesterday, but I was wrong. She has already started a rebellious course of lying, deceit, and watching salacious material in real-life and on the internet. I just hope she is not beyond saving. I love you, Emily. My precious rose. My precious daughter. I’m here for you. Always. Let this letter on a public forum be a testament to my love for you. I love you Emily. Listen to daddy, for daddy knows best. You will thank me when you are older. Love you. *crying*

Everyone is almost certain that this person is a troll, also masquerading as “Emily” on the boards. And it’s pissing everyone off. Especially since someone found the story on copypasta . Let’s just hope that there will never be anyone this controlling that I know of.



{November 5, 2008}   Oh, by the way

Imdb is once again the Goddess site. Thank you and have a nice day.

TGIR

P.S. Nice to see a black US president. Nice quote from him, too: “…and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House!”.



{November 5, 2008}   On a High

All this excitement is sending me loopy. Okay. I thought I’d mentioned the fact that there will be a third Transporter movie, but I didn’t and I feel really annoyed now. Seriously, Frank is the coolest movie character ever. He really is the epitome of cool. But I mean, let’s face it; Jason Statham is awesome. There will also be a sequel to Crank. There is not only a third Twilight trailer, but a clip about a minute long set in the cafeteria/canteen/third-word-which-should-be-here-because-of-the-magic-three-but-isn’t-because-I-can’t-think-of-one .

Current searches:The insult dictionary how to be abusive in five languages,  The insult dictionary five languages,  dragon tgır, how to insult dictionary in 5 languages,  The Insult Dictionary,  i’m not cocky i’m confident (kind of like that quote from How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days). The last viewed posts: Brain Overload, The Insult Dictionary and Edits on Last Post. Seriously, I hit the jackpot with the Insult Dictionary. Not only does it provide me with entertainment, but it brings visitors to my blog, something which doesn’t always happen.



{November 5, 2008}   Seen a few Movies recently

Firstly, I watched Iron Man on DVD. It. Is. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I love Tony Stark. I think the main difficulty with the role would’ve been making such a jerk (well, originally a jerk) likeable, but that’s exactly what Robert Downey Jr achieved. Keep watching after the credits. Apparently, there will be a few sequels PLUS Iron Man will be in the Avengers movie and, if I’m not mistaken, the character of Tony Stark breifly appears towards the end of the Incredible Hulk. However Terrence Howard will no longer be playing Rhodes; that honour will now belong to Don Cheadle. Seriously, I’d seen some stuff RDJ has done (e.g. US Marshalls), but now, I really want to see more (although I’ve been wanting to see Kiss Kiss Bang Bang for AGES) because I am impressed by his acting.

Next movie: How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. The main thing I’m curious about is how much of this movie is true and whether any of the characters (e.g. Sophie Maes) was based on anyone in real life. This one’s good if you want a laugh.

Then: Indiana Jones 4. Yep, good old Indy. Nice scene involving quicksand or something along those lines.
