What are some of your favorite movies? in General

I feel that books are bad sources of media. Sure, the read can be good for your brain and can increase your knowledge, but if you put all of your emphasis on the book and keep that in mind while watching the movie, it takes all the fun out of it.

I like reading books as much as the next person, but as a person who has a hereditary habit of watching a movie and then scrutinizing it, I feel it is best to keep a clear mind while watching the movie. If you sit through a whole movie comparing it to the book it was based on, then you are setting yourself up for severe disappointment. The soul purpose of movies based on books is to give a good idea of what the book is like is real life.

It is nearly impossible to make a movie perfectly reflect a book and if you go around looking for that all the time, then I am sorry, but you are a complete idiot. Movies are not made to reflect books, they are made to entertain the brain. Sure, some movies are not as good as the book they are based on. But that is to be expected. There is no such thing as the perfect movie.

My advice is to forget about the book you read and focus your attention on the actual movie. You will find that you will enjoy it much more if you watch it without a biased view of it to start with. Never compare a movie to a book. Those of you that do happen to do that mustn’t have many movies that you actually like. I find that I enjoy movies much more if I leave the book out of it.

Phantoms for instance. I heard that the book was excellent and that the movie was a poor adaptation of it. But I enjoyed the movie and for the sake of having liked it, I am not going to go out and the read the book to see if it is so much better than the movie as I have heard. That biases the view of the movie and ruins the entertainment value of it.
Okay,
Books are awesome, they leave your mind to picture everything.
You are correct, people are stupid if they expect the movie to perfectly reflect the book.
I don't agree with you though that reading a book will ruin the fun of the movie. I loved watching the Lord of Rings movies because I knew what was going to happen and because I could anticipate it and see how they viewed it. Unfortunatly my favorite part in The Return of the King was shortened to about 5 minutes, but I enjoyed the movie none the less.

Okay lets see,

I am a really good singer, I am learning to play guitar at an alarming rate, I am really good with my hands (I can draw okay), I am a decent writter, and I can act really well.

I'd say I'm pretty good in all of the arts.

Though I do plan on starting a rock band in high school.

Yeah I think I'll join SAFT, is Premonition a member, or does it mean the definition? I would like to know if there are any important rules I need for creating a character, besides the ones listed?

Edit: I don't think anyone answered my question so I will post my character.

Name: Allos Nogan

Age: 34

Description: A veteran pirate, Allos used to be part of a crew of bandits, until they engaged in a losing battle against a strong group of Nephilim. Allos and a few of his partners retreated and made a living as mercinaries.

Appearance: Average hight of 5'8, normal military strength. Allos has black hair and green eyes.

Strengths: Very good with throwing weapons, especially the fransica and dagger. Allos does not fight for honor, only victory. He will use dirty fighting techniques to get the job done. Allos does possess some skill in close combat, but his weapons are not fit for it.

Story: After the complications, SAFT wanted to make sure that its workers and sailors would be safer. They hired a few mercinaries skilled with sailing, hence why Allos is there. The mercinaries have been ordered to take more evasive and defensive manuvers if combat arouses.
(The leader can change this if he or she sees fit.)

I don't like the chart I used to make my character but I dont really have time right now.

Note: I did not write this, another kid in my class did. His name is Will, A.K.A Chillson,
and he will one day win the nobel prize and the man of the year award. This literature is brilliant, and I hope you enjoy it.

Oh and if you want a little reference to who the characters are really like in reality just ask.
Enjoy.

The Middle Time

Of The Ages



“Will, it’s time to go to bed,” said my mom. “Yes, mother.” I yelled back sarcastically.

This day has been a usual day during this semester while we were studying the medieval days during Humanities, and working on our group projects. John was giving one of his “Brilliant, and interesting” lessons. Before we went to class during Spanish we could hear Cory yelling in what seemed to be a heated debate about the medieval times and what they were like.

When I went to bed I thought about what the times were like in medieval times, I thought about it for a long time and then I finally fell asleep. The next day I woke up, or at least I thought I did. I woke up in my same bed, but it felt a little different like there was a bunch of paper under me, or, or, straw? I figured that I was fully awake, so I walked out the door.

Caw ka doodle Doo. Cried a rooster. “Okay where the heck am I? I don’ think I'm in Raleigh any more” I said to myself remembering what Dorothy said in the “Wizard of Oz”

“Sir William my son,” yelled a lady whose voice sounded familiar but never heard those words coming out of her mouth before. “Are you up yet?” as the women walked into the room.

What? It looked like my mom but she wasn’t dressed like her, and her hair was longer, and darker, and she looked a whole lot dirtier than usual. Not clean at all.

“Umm, yes mom” I replied not knowing what to say. “Mom, never heard you say that to me before, you usually call me mother,” she said back to me.

“Oh, sorry mother, don’t know where I got that from, but yes I am up.” Trying to sound like I meant it by accident and it just came out of no where. “Umm, mom, I mean mother, could you remind me what the year is? I know it sounds a bit funny but I had a dream and just making sure.”

“Why it is 1210 right, we just finished up with the Crusades. Remember?”

“Oh, yes of course, that’s right, must have had a really bad dream, I dreamt of the future and what it would be like in a long time and if we would be the same.”

“Ok well hurry up dreaming about this future thing. Your breakfast is getting cold and I don’t want to be late to work.”

As she walked out of door I stared in amazement and a bit of fear. “No real food, no computer, no television, no nice cumphy bed, none of the good stuff. Nooooooo, 793 years into the past. Why did I have to think about the middle ages?” Wham, as I tried to hit myself on the side of the head to wake up. But it didn’t work; it just knocked me over back onto my hard bed.

“Oh well, might as well stay hear since I will be here for a while or at least until I wake up from this nightmare. But maybe it will turn out to be an exciting and cool nightmare. I’m guessing I can’t say dude or cool, or yo, or wass up, either. They don’t know those words yet.”

I walked out the door and into the kitchen, I’m not really sure what I had for breakfast but my mom said it was bacon. “Not bad,” I thought to myself.

“Now you have to go serve the king and go off to fight in one last battle. This will end after words and then your father can come home and be with us and not have to fight in war for a while. Just go and get packed.”

“What!” I thought to my self. “The Crusades are just ending.” Oh well, might as well get packed and take what I need.

It didn’t take me very long considering that I didn’t have that much clothes these days. “Good bye mother. I hope that I will be able to return home safely.”

“Good bye my son. Take good care, and tell your father that I love him if you see him.”

“I shall do that,” I left and when I walked down the street, people looked very familiar. I swear I saw some one that looked like Jacob reciting a poem by singing it like he did for the presentation for Greece and Rome. Then I thought I saw Viraj, Hege, and Sam that looked like they where a leader of a gang, who where up to no good.

As I walked up towards the castle I saw some one that looked just like Big Rob and Jack whom I was guessing to be the top body guards for the King. When I finally saw the King I swear it looked just like Justin, and to his right sat some one that looked just like Emma.

“King Justinian, we are ready to move out when ever you are my Lord.” Said the person who I thought was Jack.

“Great, have them move out when we have everybody together Sir Jackson.”

“Oh, so his name is Sir Jackson, not Jack, oh well must have some resemblance and Justin is Justinian. Very interesting,” I thought to myself.

“Welcome Sir Willis, we have been awaiting you so we can make haste towards our final fight with the Turks. You may make way towards the courtyard and there I’m sure you shall find some of your friends there and then you can just wait until then.

“Ahh so my name is Sir Willis. Wait, I hate that name Willis, why can’t it be Chillsonian or William Wallis. Oh well.”

“Good luck with your Knight and return home with news and victory so that we shall be in peace.”

Wait, my knights, wow, how old am I. I doubt that I am fourteen. Then it came back to me that the youngest was at least eighteen who fought in the Crusades. Ahh, I must be the leader, cool.

“Umm yes, thank you, you’re Lady.”

“No, thank you for doing this for us.” Said Emma, or at least I thought it was.

Then I saw John, he looked like an entertainer. He had some one with him who looked a lot like Lowell, and I heard them say that his name was Sir Woodrow Wilson, (Go figure) and that he has been in a lot of trouble trying to take from John. When I got to the courtyard I saw the same group, Viraj, Hege, and Sam all ready for battle, and I also saw Cory who looked like he was a very important person, but I found out that his name was Sir Cornelius Edward the Third, and that he only made the plans for us to go into war.

“So can anybody tell me where we are headed again, and your names, I had a weird dream that made me forget a couple of stuff,”

“Yes, my name is Sir Hegward, this is Sir Doshin, and last here is Sir Valon 2nd the White. We are headed towards Jerusalem to end one final battle.” Said the Hegward look alike.

“Thank you, Sir Hegward, now it is all clear to me again I must have had a short term memory loss when I bumped my head.”

“Very well then, lets move on out, we have a couple days march ahead of us if we want to be there on time.” Said Cornelius Edward in a commanding voice.

By late that night on the second day people began to get weary and hit the sacks early in there blankets with no comfort underneath them. It was a ruff, hard, cold night, and when it was morning people where already up around six A.M. or at least that’s what time I thought it was when I awoke.

“I don’t want to go to school mom, I want to sleep in, where not doing any thing today.” I said in my sleep when Sir Doshin hit me on the side of the head and then poked me.

“Sir Willis, wake up, we only have five hours of march ahead of us if we leave in a couple of minutes we are sure to get there before noon.”

I packed up in about five minutes and then we where off on the road again. Well there wasn’t really any road. Our army had about a thousand troops or more in it. I swear I at least everybody had a look alike where I went.

“Did you hear, Pope Valon, (Who I was guessing to be Sam’s brother, Fielder) gave a message to Cornelius Edward the 3rd that we could go home and the Crusades would be over with and no more wars.” Said Sir Hegward.

“Might I ask who is part of the Church or one of the high leaders there? That as well has drawn away from my mind.”

“Yes, I will, there is Madam Krista-The-Edit, and Madam Mary, and then there is also John The Merciless, and Chris The Giant. Those are just a couple of the people but the most highest.

“Thank you for refreshing my memory,” Said Sir Hegward. So John is also part of the Church, along with Krista, and Mary. Hmmm so this is relating to my other life as well. Interesting, very interesting.

“We have reached our destination. We have arrived here, in the Holy Land of Jerusalem,”

When I got my group ready, I then noticed that Stuart also had a look alike, and I found out that his name was Sir Poulsen. Then I asked him a question.

“Sir Poulsen,”
“Sir?”

“Are your ready to die for your King and Pope?”

“Yes sir, but are you ready to die in battle Sir Willis and are you brave enough to do whatever the King or Pope wants.”

“Hmm, Yes, I am ready to do whatever it takes so we can return home and to finish off the last Crusades.”

The Captains got their knights ready to get into position, archers in the back, and then horses in the middle, and we had some go around the city and have an attack from behind, as I remembered what they did in Gladiator. And then we had the Swordsman attack up front. The Archers had arrows that where flammable and we could send fire with the arrows to burn our enemies.

“ARCHERS, TAKE AIM, READY, FIRE!” Yelled Sir Cornelius.

“TAKE POSSITION SWORDSMEN” I yelled not sure what to say for the swordsmen, they looked back at me, as if trying to figure out who I was talking to and I kind of just looked away acting like I never said that. As the first couple sets of arrows launched the other side started to come forward, I couldn’t take it any more so I yelled.

“ATTACK!” in the loudest voice that I could.

The loudest war yell that I have ever heard came from our army, well bigger than any that I have ever heard in my life. As the two sides class you could hear sounds of people falling and dieing, blood was flinging everywhere, heads coming off hear and there. I at last gave a victorious yell and killed at least thirty people. One archer sent up a flaming arrow higher than all the others, and that was the signal to send in the horses.

“CHARGE!” Yelled some familiar voice who sounded like Sir Jackson.

As the horses came, the Turks became trapped between us and the horses. I saw a couple people that I knew, fall to the ground, then I saw Sir Poulsen die as well, and then fell Sir Doshin. After I killed about thirty more people I started to feel a bit weary. I began to trip over dead body’s that where covered with blood. Then when I looked up right then a arrow was headed down straight towards my face.

I gave out another yell and then at that second right when the arrow was at my face I awoke finding myself sweating in my bed. And hearing my alarm clock go off. Don’t you just hate it when you wake up at the ending point of the dream.

“Huu, haahhh, huu, ahh, huu.” As I sat there breathing in and out hard. After a few minutes I calmed down a bit.

“Wow,” I rushed towards the window, wait there is a window, and having relief that I was back in my on time period.

“Good morning, it’s time for school” said my mom as she walked in looking normal and not dressed up weird like she did.

“Umm this is the year 2003, right?” I asked hoping that she would say yes.

“Why yes, this is the year 2003. Did you have a bad dream or something pretending that you where in the fututer.” As she started to laugh.

“No, just had a dream during the medieval time of the “Last Crusade”

“Right then, oh well get ready for school”

“Wooph,” as I had a sigh of relief on my face. “People will think that I’m weird if I tell them about the dream that I had or some might not. Oh well, I kind of liked not having school for those couple of days. Oh well, got to get back to the real world.”

Fantasy Novels. I read just about anything except for boring biographys and textbooks.

I liked the Dragonlance Series by Margret Weis and Tracy Hickman alot.
Although his books are in a rut, I like to read Brian Jaques sometimes.

Currently I am reading "A Call To Honor" by Cynthia Adair Coan, a book about a boy and the civil war. Very good and historically accurate, it also stresses what the war was really about. I like it alot even though it does take place in a Rebel view.
