I'm R.C. I'm 23. I go to college in Honolulu, double-majoring in Film and English. I love movies, writing about movies, and some comics.

I’ve decided not to post on this tumblr anymore, I’ve opted to just use my tumblr account’s. I hope this site works it out so that there wouldn’t be so many glitches when trying to use another tumblr more actively than the account you signed up for. Even though I know Lynn and Monica (love you guys!) are the only ones that really reads this thing, I thought I’d write this- just in case.
Here’s the new link.
this one was cracking me up. i dont like that streeter wasnt in it….but ill survive i guess :) jeff is a great asshole, just wanted to say. and i love the random dancing. and amir earning those mardi gras beads he was wearing ;)
good job again guys!
I got to college in Honolulu. It takes me a less than 30 minutes to walk to Waikiki. Jeff is pretty much acting like every douchebag that comes here on vacation. Aviator sunglasses and ghettoblasters are a staple of these party-loving tourists that walk back and forth through the 5 blocks that make up Waikiki, every night.
I like them, they’re fun.
I have stopped and danced with them. It was like that scene with Sid Vicious and the children in the vacant lot in Sid & Nancy. Sometimes you just have to let go of your inhibitions and dance with them. I’m being completely serious about this.
The last few days, I’ve spent horribly sick with one of the worst colds ever. The time away from class had only one plus side- I got to watch a lot of DVDs that have been piling up over the past few weeks; some, I’ve even had the time to listen to the special feature commentary of.
The first one I want to mention is the documentary Cinemania. I had the urge to view it after taking the infamous “How Many of These Movie Have You Seen?” meme on Facebook. I got 200+ and was seriously questioning my sanity, those Ocean’s Eleven franchise really hurt me on my count- I’ve only seen the original (the one with Frank Sinatra). Cinemania is a documentary on people who actually have a problem with watching too many movies. They watch up to 5 a day! One of them frequently becomes violent when it comes to going to a film showing. I liked the documentary in that it didn’t have a judgement filter. The people featured didn’t seem to be acting out of the ordinary, and none ever played to the camera. Even though the subject was serious, the film would have to be a comedy of sorts. Never did I feel sorry for these people, and that’s nice to see in a documentary like this.
I just finished watching Boy In the Striped Pyjamas tonight. I got it knowing that it would end with me being snotty nosed and swollen-eyed, which is why it took me two rentals to get the courage to watch it. It didn’t disappoint. If I had to describe it to someone, I’d say it’s the first children’s film on the Holocaust. Seriously, I’ll probably borrow it again to show my 11 year-old cousin someday soon.
At this moment I am still reeling after watching Synecdoche, New York. I didn’t get what the fuck was going most of the time, but by the end it didn’t matter. I think I got it. It was actually pretty pessimistic and made you contemplate your own existence, while only mentioning God once throughout the whole film. That’s hard to do, and I think Charlie Kaufman really out did himself with this film. The scope was huge. I liked it. It wasn’t Eternal Sunshine-awesome, but it was alright.
It may seem like I watched these movies because they were critically acclaimed. Contrary, I forced myself to watch them because I really want to return them to Blockbuster as quick as possible and borrow Hot Rod again. :)
I really want to see 500 Days of Summer.
I’m looking forward to watching this movie as well. Extremely.
Because Jake and Amir fans are so much more cooler than non-Jake & Amir fans.
Yeah. I found this on youTube just now. Initially, I was just searching for random things when I came across this video to be an “Official Rescuer” for Invisible Children movement thats all the trend right now. This video (the one I linked) scares me a little. It makes it seem like a pyramid scheme- like a step-by-step guide on how to sell holiday cards door to door. The fact that they’ve garnered enough followers to their cause, as of now 1,148 video responses, each begging a celebrity to join them, in hopes that the celebrity would have searched their own name and see the video before April 25, 2009… seems farfetched.
This reminds me of those GreenPeace kids outside my school, ready to accost me with tales of the low state of the environment, ready to take my credit card information. They ask me, “Do you care about the environment?” and then they laugh when I say very seriously, “No, I don’t.” Then they giggle. Sorry, that really wasn’t a joke.
Anyway, the ‘Invisible Children’ thing is good cause, I guess- but I’m not sure this brass tactic is effective. It’s awkward and a little scary to see children my age begging celebrities for their endorsement or donation of time; isn’t it supposed to be the other way around?
Also, if you’re going to link your video under the tag, “Lonely Island” please make it just as awesome as the videos that are actually about The Lonely Island. I thought this video was funny, but then I started to feel sorry for myself. Not to be mean, but is the kind of kids that get in to NYU? Maybe I should apply next semester and transfer. Even though this video made me cringe, it gives me hope that I can get accepted to NYU and not have stupid, measly “University of Hawaii at Manoa” on my diploma!
OH MY GOOOOD.
Just released promo for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards!
I’m sorry FuckYeahPatrickCassels, Andy Samberg has now taken over the lead for winner of my heart. :)
Someone seems a little jealous here. (via Gawker)
Now I’m Gonna Tawk To A Goldfish
Hey goldfish…how it’s hangin’? A lot of people want to eat you but I just want to talk to you okay? Say hi to your mutha for me alrightOkay, I’ve always had a little fun following this Tumblr because well, it’s so weird, it’s great. But when you reference SNL - not just SNL, but ANDY SAMBERG -, you’ve got my heart for ever and ever amen. This is awesome.
<333 Andy Samberg.
500 Days of Summer trailer
I did a one man boycott of anything ‘Sundance’ this year due to the controversy with the owner of some of the theaters the selections were playing at, and his involvement with Proposition 8. It’s because of this that I’m that only now finding out about 500 Days of Summer. Besides having two of the greatest actors I have ever seen in the lead (Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zooey Deschanel), by the way the trailer has me believing- the story is a fresh take on the romantic film genre.
I could go on and on, but the real reason I’m writing about this is because I’m in love with their clothes. Seriously! Look at Zooey’s costumes! They’re beautiful. I’d kill for that whole wardrobe. If I could pull off full bangs like her’s, without looking like I’ve just stepped off a boat from the Philippines, I’d grow my hair out in a second.
Another film I wanted to see more of, but am surprised at the lackluster reviews of, is Paper Heart, starring Michael Cera and his real-life girlfriend, Charlene Yi. After watching Charlene’s performance in Knocked Up years back, I went on a Myspace hunt for her profile. I found it after a few hours and after seeing her genuine talent in the comedy department, I can truly say that I’ve become a fan of hers. Anything that girl is in, I’ll watch.
More “springy” romantic-y things at Le Love.
