what's new man?

it's been too long! everyone following me (the few of you there are), let's start a new trend called "Commenting on blogs that i follow", it's pretty self-explanatory =) i think it's a good way of knowing that all this blogging isn't going to waste, and actually getting feedback from you kids. right now i'm at Utah State University! it's pretty dope, i live with Mylz, Bret, and Seungkyu. love these guys! we always have good times. Mylz and i have been watching a lot of movies lately, and i think you should watch them, or at least leave me your thoughts on them if you've seen them already....

Saving Private Ryan (1999)

this one is SO GOOD! a LOT of work was put into the production of this film, and i'm trying to appreciate every bit of it. hard to do, but i think the biggest image of everything put into it is shown in the intensely gruesome beach-landing scene. if you can stomach the gore, pay attention to the little things about it.

i also gained an entirely new appreciation for the armed forces serving us now, and that have in the past. we're all forever indebted to these fine men and women.

Pineapple Express (2008)

how can you not love this movie?? Seth Rogen is such a tense freak when he's stoned it's hilarious, and is completed by the stereotypical pothead Saul. good flick. i'm just amazed that Ted, Saul's dealer, lived thru how many crazy injuries that he did. gunshot wounds, being thrown thru a wall, having his head bashed against porcelain, etc. it's funny guys, not realistic.

and next, is

Easy Rider (1969)

this film totally changed my movie viewing experience. Peter Fonda does a DAMN good performance as Captain America. him and his sidekick Billy ride across the country in search of "freedom". they don't ever "find" "freedom" persay, but it's some trip and a killer motorcycle adventure. this is my favorite of these three movies.
