holy poopypants: my review of paranormal activity
by Ethan Newberry on Oct.22, 2009, under blog, movies, reviews
This marks the first time I have ever seen a movie alone in the movie theaters. I believe there were two reasons for this: 1) Nobody wanted to see this scary movie and 2) I secretly didn’t want anybody to join me so I could get the full “scare” effect I had been hearing about. Afterall, Paranormal Activity has been called “The scariest movie of all time”. Those are some serious shoes to fill, people.
Let me preface this review by saying that I LOVE scary movies. I love movies that keep me in suspense, set me up for surprises and scares, and downright give me chills. I love movies that convert me to Señor Poopypants. This movie did not fall short of fulfilling every one of those criteria. Yup, messy. However, the movie is not without it’s faults, well, one fault in particular. The problem is that this one fault nearly ruined the entire experience for me.
The studio ending of Paranormal Activity sucked. Hard.
I wanna be inside autumn forever
by Ethan Newberry on Oct.13, 2009, under blog, family, memory lane
The fresh feeling of a cool, crisp autumn breeze against your cheek. The smell of damp oak leaves littering the puddled ground. The taste of seasonal treats and pumpkin flared goodies. All of these contribute to my addiction to the fall season. Here’s the problem: I live in LA – the season-less cesspool of summer-lovin A-holes. The second you even mention “rain”, “cold”, or “sweater” their body goes erect with disdain and downright judgement of my Northwestern heritage. “Oh, you’re a one of THEM”. You bet your assless chaps I am.
