Chronicles Of Naria

"Your daughter? Wah, so pretty" -Shop assistant to Jo-ann's mum
"...Shut up, I know you're laughing" Jo-ann to me

Alrighty, if anyone has been paying attention to the title of my blog ( which I doubt ), you'd have seen that I've changed it to "Chronicles of Linus". You can probably tell that I watched Chronicles Of Naria.

It's an inspiring, yet somehow cliche movie. I dunno how all you others feel, but CoN just seems a tad cliched. Oh sure, it had its good points, namely the wonderful CG animation, the good acting and the fact that it had its share of humor.

But, I'd just like one, just one, movie where good doesn't win in the end. I mean, it's not that hard to come up with a solid storyline where the baddies win. What do good guys have that bad guys don't? Good guys have morales, bad guys don't, which is in favour of the bad guys because they have no qualms about doing anything. But, but the storyline always introduces a fatal flaw in the personality of the baddie which ultimately leads to his/her downfall. In the White Queen's case, it was being a total overbearing pissy bitch.

Also, there was one big problem while watching the movie. There was this, I think 6 or 7 year-old...thing that kept commenting and whispering throughout the movie. He would be like "Wah...Lion!' and all that sort of crap. His mother was there with him and she made so little effort to restrain him. He even stuck his head through the gap between mine and Jo's seat. I was really tempted to slam my elbow into his face " by mistake" but...I'm trying to be nicer. Jo-ann was postively furious; after the movie, she gave the little asshole a long, scary glare.

Oh yeah, went shopping too after the movie. I dragged Jo-ann around, shopping for my parents' Christmas presents. I had to borrow $10 from Jo's mum AND auntie melda, which meant I had $34. Mum's necklace cost $15, Dad's book cost $14.20. $34 - $29.20 = $4.80. I had $2 left in my wallet...So, where did $2.20 go?

Ahhh....The mysteries of life...

By blogging so often, I'm obviously bored...Talk to me people!
