Angels & Demons: Reviewing Bullshit
Drewcifer000 | 9:48 PM on 05.24.2009 13 comments




I never read The Da Vinci Code. I saw the movie. It was entertaining when it didn't scream retarded made up connections and other bullshit. I didn't read Angels & Demons either, even though my step dad gave me a copy because he liked it and thought I would like it too.

Today I saw Angels & Demons with my mom. We were going to see Aliens Vs. Monsters, but we're lazy and left too late. We should have just gone in 30 minutes late and enjoyed.

Conspiracy stories aren't my thing. I only saw the second half of The Number 23 and didn't care because it was crap. National Treasure makes me want to vomit. Nicolas Cage lately has been making me want to commit a felony. I just can't suspend my disbelief like that to be entertained. Angels & Demons is this exact kind of movie. And my intestines started cramping (or something) half way through it.

Spoilers follow. It doesn't really matter though. You already know what's going to happen in this movie before it shows you.

This movie was bullshit. Complete and total bullshit. It was destined to fail after introducing the hadron super collider as the very first plot device. I'm pretty sure they couldn't come up with a sensible story, so they used the most complicated and confusing things that the public doesn't know jack shit about to mystify us and make it appear as though they're super sophisticated and know all the secrets of the universe. Jerks.

Most if not all of this movie is a complete and utter waste of time and resources. The scene where the power turns off and they nearly run out of oxygen is a great example. Neither one dies, nothing changes, they don't ever mention it again for the rest of the movie, and the characters go on as if it never happened. They don't explain why it happened either. It's just some extra footage.

It seemed as the whole thing was just tired. A bomb somewhere hidden, blows up at midnight taking the city with it! This dude and his female side kick have to follow some really interesting and terrificly difficult clues! Nah jay kay, it's literally just statues that look like they're pointing. You'd think Tom Hanks being such a smart guy would have noticed that every location they were "pointed" to had big ass pillar right in the middle of it.

It's just all the same bullshit we've seen before. And it wasn't good when we saw it then. There's a lot of random bits too that made me laugh. My mom and I were the only ones laughing when the only black person in the entire movie shot blood out of his lungs when the lady tried to give him mouth to mouth. Or all the awkward and random history lessons. "You guys don't even read your own history, do you?" is what I think Hanks said to the other people. He was explaining bullshit that no one understood because all they heard was blah blah blahullshit.

If you saw The Da Vinci Code, you've seen a better version of Angels & Demons. At least the first movie doesn't bother with god particles. Ugh. I don't even feel like bringing up that fuckin assassin character. They blew up his fucking van?! How convenient. That whole movie is convenient.

I guess they were just trying to have a fictional movie with a mature and twisty plot... maybe? Fucking movies these days.

So I guess I jumped the gun by writing my first article about Jim Sterling's voice. Ah well.

So my name is Drew, I'm from Lambertville, New Jersey. I go to college in Maryland (transferring out of a community college to go to UMBC). I enjoy candle lit dinners followed by long walks on the beach. Gotta say that video games and music are my two favorite hobbies in the world.

But let's see... the first game I ever played on a home console was Snowboard Kids (I still have the original cartridge) for my 64. I later got Ocarina of TIme, and loved the shit out of it without ever beating the game or really getting too far past the Deku Tree. I have yet to beat a single Zelda game to this day.

Anyway, now a days I play mostly action/adventure games and some shooters. I pumped 140+ hours into my first Oblivion character, I played a lot of Halo 3, and I love Brawl even though I don't own a Wii (which I need to).

I "stumbled" a Destructoid article about some Top 10 thing and thought it had great taste and a good sense of humor, so I started coming back. Now I'm on here multiple times a day checking the front page stories and reading the occasional blog or two. Oh and I'm absolutely addicted to Podtoid. And Anthony Burch is my hero.

I'm going to school to be a game designer. I've been working on this idea for a game for over a year now (which recently just split into two separate games) and it's turning out to be awesome. In concept at least.

But I'm only going to be a game designer if I can't make it as a rock star. My band ("The Worst is Yet to Come") is actually on the rise and we'll be recording another 3 song demo soon (with some better production) and have shows lined up for the summer. Shameless plug!

Soooooo yeah. I've never been very active on community forums. I've joined a couple places but didn't care enough about the site to try and immerse myself in the community. But here, I'm sure I'll find people to have interesting and/or awesome intrawet conversation with. And such.

Jim Sterling: More Than an Accent?
Drewcifer000 | 1:05 PM on 05.17.2009 15 comments


Last night I dreamed I met Jim Sterling.

I think I was supposed to be at a friends apartment or something, and Jim was just sitting there. I was like, "Holy shit it's Jim Sterling!" and he was nonchalant and said "Yes it is."

Now this was just a small part of the dream but was rather close to when I woke up. I don't know what the significance is or what it says about my subconscious, but I do know that it must have something to do with Jim's accent.

The first Podtoid I listened to was the last one Jim wasn't on, 95 or 96 I think. The show was really good, but at the end someone did an impression of Jim (I forget who). I was surprised by the British accent. I had no idea. I had read a bunch of articles written by him and had just pictured him as some cynical, sarcastic, American dude. This personality works better with a British accent, and I found myself paying more attention to Jim's articles, trying to picture his accent reading to me.

When the next Podtoid came around, I listened for his voice, a voice which would read me every single article on Destructoid, even if Jim didn't write it (unless it was written by someone else whose voice I've heard). Now, those damn sounds of his are even haunting me in my dreams. But I wonder if Jim's articles are good because he's a such a professional journalist, or if the accent is grand enough to alter my opinion...
