~Self Portrait~

It doesn't interest me if there is one God

Or many gods.

I want to know if you belong -- or feel abandoned;

If you know despair

Or can see it in others.

I want to know

If you are prepared to live in the world

With its harsh need to change you;

If you can look back with firm eyes

Saying "this is where I stand."

I want to know if you know how to melt

Into that fierce heat of living

Falling toward the center of your longing.

I want to know if you are willing

To live day by day

With the consequence of love

And the bitter unwanted passion

Of your sure defeat.

I have been told

In that fierce embrace

Even the gods

Speak of God.

Where's the originality gone?

Alright, here it goes....

So rumors have it that a re-make of the 1984 film "red dawn" is in production. Also an A-Team movie is slated to be out in 2010. They've remade the hulk like 5 times, and remade Friday the 13, they've remade a nightmare on elm street. Where is the creativity!? Hollywood has run out of ideas so they decide to keep re-making things, and butchering them in the process.

My beef with Hollywood in regards to red dawn is that movie is awesome.. WOLVERINES! anyway.. sure it was made with a budget of i think 2 million, might have been 1 million, and you can see the strings that the RPG rockets fly on, but that movie is a classic.. why is Hollywood remaking it. Plus there can't be a red dawn without Patrick Swayze!

There is no originality anymore! 2012 comes out soon.. another apocalypse movie, people are going to flock to see it because they think it'll shed some light for the future. I wanna see it, and I will go see it, I'm not psyched John Cusack is in it. I just wish the writers came up with something better. That's a big reason I like independent films because they are original! Hollywood could learn from the independent film industry.

That's it for tonight

Just a Simple Quote

Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I`ve walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, and above.

-Gia Carangi (1960-1986)-
