Choices

In this week's episode of Doctor Who (which was brilliant) Donna, a person who seemed to be just about as unimportant and mundane as the rest of us, lost in a sea of billions of people on this planet, managed to determine the fate of the rest of the universe- just by turning left. It sort of highlights the idea that every little thing we do can have great ratifications on the rest of the world, because seeing as we're all in this sea of people, we have a way of effecting other people everyday. An it's like a chain reaction, once one person does something, like turning down one road instead of another, they affect what another person does, whihc effects someone else, etc...
But, I know that this doesn't mean that if I go a different way to school, for example, it doesn't have to mean that othat action ends up with someone else saving the world. But it could... there is that chance.
It sort of makes you wonder what the world would be like if you did some things differently... and then it sort of reminds you thateven if things are particularily great, it could be alot worse really. Of course it could be better, but things are at a sort of balance, there's crime, hate etc but there's also so much love and kindness that just doesn't get enough press, when on the news normally it's the faluts of politians or wars in forgein places instead of the good things hat happen all over the world. Like, Bill Gates gives some of his profits to charritees, but I only heard that yesterday, when he's been doing this for years, yet it's more likely for me to hear how they are rivals with google etc. And you hear about how teenagers today in places like London are all out of contol, and yes I admit, I've seen some crap, but I mean... we're not all like that. It actually rather depressing to see what the world is turning into, and part of it, is this ideathat one person doesn't matter. It's like we've been programmed to have this belief that one person can't change the world. Like oh, I'm not going to turn off the water when I'm brushing my teeth, one person won't make a difference, not when someone else will do it anyway. *shakes head* nothing will change if everyone keeps thinking that.
So make your choices wisely, don't fall into this trap. Even I've done it, but we should all try.
Sorry if this post sounds a bit preachy :S

A reason for listening to countless film critics

THE HAPPENING

What actually happens in the Happening?
I’ll tell you what.
Nothing.
The whole thing is a waste of money, honestly. However jacked up the cinema prices are getting (I paid £8, that’s right- eight whole of my pounds) do not even bother wasting your money.
Do not believe the lies that are the very well made advertisements and trailers for this film. They say it’s a horror, the most scary ever made by its creator M. Night something or other; the bloke who did The Sixth Sense. The Happening did not top it- not by a very, very long shot. I spent half the time with my fingers over my glasses, believing that maybe, just maybe something terrifying would happen- but it never did. No wait- there was this old lady in it that gave me the ‘heebie jeebies’ but other than that, it was more messed up than anything else. I also found the whole aim of the film a little dodgy: respect trees/ the environment. That was the whole point.
What were we supposed to be scared of?
The wind.
Yes, you heard (well, read) correctly.
Wind.
And no, I don’t mean a massive fart either.
‘Run away from the wind!’ someone screams, and so they do… *gasp* and nothing happens. That was dumb. Near the end, when you think, okay, one of these ‘principle’ characters were going to die, they step out into the ‘wind’ and guess what… nothing happens! Conveniently, the spores in the wind stopped just as they left the house. Now that pissed me off- what rubbish.
And the conclusion to the entire film was spelled out to you, because for some it was too obvious, or to others the whole film made no sense at all. Looks like there needs to be a seventh sense just to get this nonsense.
I have to admit, there are moments (and I mean MOMENTS) of actual horror, but the majority were just disturbing. People hanging from trees: Disturbing, not scary… just disturbing. People killing themselves… it’s not scary, it’s sick (and I don’t mean sick as in ‘cool’). That writer has problems, and he’s there proclaiming the so called ‘greatness’ of his creation (which is a bit like a Film Frankenstein) on the misleading advertisements, as if he, himself has something to be proud of by making that film.

All M. Night something or other has accomplished has been:

1. Wasting my money.
2. Wasting my time.
3. Wasting his, and the film company’s money.
4. Lying to the world.
5. Making himself look like an idiot.
6. And proving that he has problems and that he needs a phyciatrist.
