This is kweztionable. Fo'Sho.

Stalker's Paradise

So, dahling Interwebz, I'm sure you've heard of this new crazy fad that's sweeping the nation called Four Square--right?



Well, recently when I was in Florida, my friend was "checking in" everywhere. While I had my doubts--stalkers would legit go crazypants for this--he assured me that only his friends on Four Square could see where he was checking in. Whatevah, I still was on the look out for any potential stalkers following us from Starbucks to Starbucks...

I recently came across this article from the NY Times about Four Square--chchcheck it out! It seems to be everywhere lately, making me wonder if I'm missing out on something...

The only reason I would start Four Squarin' it up, despite the stalker lovefest it's got going on, is because of its semi-competitive nature. If you visit a place more than anyone, you become THE MAYOR. That sounds pretty legit. My same friend, who walks to work, became the Mayor of the Church of Scientology in Boston just by walking past it almost everyday. {Take that Tom Cruise!} Also, if you go certain places you can unlock badges--my Four Squaring friend, who recently went for a sail, unlocked the "I'm on a Boat" badge. TPain and Andy Samburg mackin' on some mermaids and wearin' flippy floppies? In a badge form? Yes please!


But yeah, I don't have an iPhone, so I probski couldn't do any Squarin' anyway. Even if I didn't think that it was kindof, well, really creepy.

Dramditidramz.

Hokay.

So, dahling Interwebz, last night I went to see Inception with a few friends--one had seen it twice before, and the rest of us were newbies to the Inception world. After the movie let out, most of the audience was kindof in a state of "Whhahhht?"/ "OMIGAWD. DID YOU SEE THAT?!"/"I don't get it" shock.

While walking to the car, we started to discuss the movie, as all movie goers do, which led to clashing opinions being thrown out--one of my friends, a writer didn't think that the script was any good, another one of my friends picked up on little nuances and was surprised and satisfied by her findings, and I, well, I was pretty much in a state of shock over the hotness of Leo & JGL. (Fo'realzies Interwebz, Leo, like a fine wine, gets better and more tasty with age.) After we drove home and parted ways, satisfied with our evening spent in the AC eating M&M's, we went to bed--I for one had a bit of trouble getting to sleep (I didn't want a war to be waged in my head while I had my 6 hours, thank you very much...)

Today, however there was a bit of drama between those who enjoyed and those who didn't...I've started to wonder if maybe the movie itself is a form of an "inception"--having people choose sides "pro-Inception" or "anti-Inception" and forcing them to argue it out thus giving the movie itself more press and precedence in our lives.

As you know, Interwebs, I don't like confrontation. I also believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I respect the fact that a few of my friends didn't think that Inception was as good as hyped--I agree that people made it out to be way more confusing than it actually was. I enjoyed the movie for it's cinematic qualities--the effects were beautiful, they enhanced the dreamworld, the casting was great--hello Joseph Gordon Levitt!--and I liked the fight scene in the anti-gravity. Pretty epicsawce, if I do say so myself.

As for the script, most action movies I've seen tend to have not-so-hot scripts. I go into the theater knowing that I'm going to see some hot men punch each other in the face and not hear epic award winning dialogue while they do it--and I'm okay with that. If in the future there is a movie that delivers both, sign me up!

So, Inception, I enjoyed you, but can't we just leave the drama at the theater where it belongs?

{Unless JGL is willing to make a house call. Then, I'm all for it.}
