Hello Tumblr! This is me posting on why is Mikaela a better option of protagonist than Sam.

I know the reason why Sam is the way it is, it's because they wanted people to feel identified by a character that's an average and simple person, I guess that's an interesting idea, however, Sam wasn't a very good example of this, they want to show a guy who is nice and find himself being brave at some point. But when I see the movie, I just see a horny teenager who did what he did just because he was involved in it, and to impress a gal, cause there wasn't an option, you can put make up on it by adding those scenes of him saying badass stuff... But that's not enough for me, the character itself seems as a lazy example of what they wanted to show, there's no flavor in it.

And then they made Mikaela as his romantic interest and it's crazy how she's better constructed than he is.

Her past is very interesting, let's start with that. She was considered a criminal at some point, but she had her reason. Then all the school looked as her just as a "sexy and privileged girl who is the gf of the popular guy", they saw her just as their "hot classmate", and not by what she actually is, and this is probably because she didn't wanted them to know the truth, because it's dangerous for her future.

Now, they could've used this to make the kind of character that did something wrong, but then risks it all to save the world, find her place and gain the forgiveness from her crimes.

She is a mechanic, what made her really interesting as a TF human protagonist, similar as Charlie, this ability of her is very useful for her alien comrades.

She is also brave, mature, and responsible.

She had her doubts at the beginning when she first saw Bumblebee, Sam convinced her in that part, but as he did it so easily, I think, without Sam there, a little chat with Bee would've been enough to make her change her mind. Even after that, she didn't questioned to keep helping the Autobots every time she could during the movie, not because she just had to be there, but because she actually wanted to help, she saw Bumblebee more as an individual than as an object, feeling bad for him when he got hurt (Sam kept calling him "my car" as if he was some pet or something that he own, he kept this behavior the next movies)

The reason why we couldn't see more of her interacting with the bots is because she wasn't the protagonist, even in the next movie, her role was mostly secondary, and all her relevance there was to add some drama to the relationship... The rest is just Sam doing his stuff (zzzz) they just throw most of the character to the trash, her only purpose was to be the badie of the movie, what's a shame, since it could've been more interesting.

Her character in the first movie felt more real than her boyfriend, more organic, she had problems, she wasn't perfect, and she had more feelings than being horny and trying to make the other character fell in love with her.

She was witty when she had to take actions.

I mean, is sad how they just putted her in the hot girl place, while giving her an interesting personality and background, jut to throw that, because they were more interested in taking shoots of the actress being sexy, and all of what surrounds her is just the fetish of someone who wanted a "bad girl", that's also smart and brave to fell in love with him, it's unfair. Meanwhile they gave us sam who is less interesting and irritating... Like, do you have a brain that works? The movie is very interesting, I think, it could've worked better for me with a better human protagonist.

Wednesday and Batman

"HERE Wednesday." Bruce Wayne said sounding very upset he showed his first movie to her and she just looked up to him and said with her monotone voice. "Do you expect watch it?" Bruce then looked confused and looked at his movie and back at her. There's no way she wouldn't like a Batman movie,, right.??! "C'mon doesn't the movie look cool?" Bruce asked her and Wednesday then right at that moment looked at him what sent a shiver down his spine. Batffleck and Battinson wouldn't mind Wednesday. But Bale was the opposite. He was definitely scared of Wednesday but he tried to hide it. "Wednesday STAP looking at me" Bruce said with fear in his eyes but he sounded serious. "Ok I'm sorry Wednesday but it is just that this is a very good Batman movie." Bruce told her but Wednesday didn't listen. She walked away, just walked away. The other day had Batman beating up some bad guys

"Where is he?" Batman shouted at a bady before being warned by Wednesday "Batman their all where they need to belong" Wednesday interrupted and Batman grappled them to a safe place. "How did you get here and how do you know that?" Batman asked as Wednesday said the Batffleck took care of all them and he was just on vacation when that was happening. Bale was quite sad past then? No no no. from now on yeah because he thought he failed a mission and that's when Wednesday saw his sadness and turned it up side down To Be Continued

.50 Steel Crow

"This is the prince of mayhem, hand cannon, sword of judgement. Take this fucker back to holy land to start your own crusade. Steel Crow's .50 DS caliber insures ego, soul and body shattered with each shot. After shooting your arm might hurt and ears would ring, but it's sheer power makes it up for these issues" - Vendor talking about .50 Steel Crow

Steel Crow is a pistol chambered in .50 DS (Death Sentence). It is one of more powerful, but very inaccurate and expensive weapon. It's magazine size and price of ammo make this gun feel like a gun for someone liking precision or more close combat approach.

Background

Steel Crow was made around the start of the 80's by Hebrew Weaponry Manufacturing and later by Nitro Technologies. It uses various calibers usually used for revolvers or other hi-cal pistols. It was used in a lot of games, movies, games and even in some comics or cartoons. This gun is usually portrayed as good guy or bady guy's main weapon due to it's size and look. However, this gun is actually not that good, besides it's intergrated rails or it's big caliber tending to kill anything in front of it's barrel and behind. Nowadays there are Steel Crow pistols in a lot of configurations. Only CSF, IDF, GOE and GROM are known to use those pistols to any extent.

2. Overview

Steel Crow's main strenght is damage and fairly alright spread. It's intergrated rail on barrel allows to attach various types of sights. One can also purchase a underbarrel picatinny rail to add things like laser sights, flashlights or rangefinder. Steel Crow is very fit for close distance shooting or more slower and precise from medium ranges. One can modify it with compesator, muzzle brake or stocks. There is few models of Steel Crow as well: PF5, S-I, S-VII ,S-XIX and even Police Contractor Package. Gun fires .50 DS, which is shared with Nitro Technologies MFH, HNT Coyote Magnum (another .50 cal by them is GORE-LOT .50 sniper rifle) and AIM Hand Cannon V.

Notable customized versions:

"Major Mindblower" - owned by Karl "Marx" Magnovich. Customized with diffrent finish, stars and scythe emblems and firing .357 instead of .50 DS.

"Bodyguard Duty" - owned by Vortex. Main diffrences is diffrent, three-toned finish, Horde Sink compesator, wooden grips and uses .44 ammunition.

"Big Platty" - owned by Terry Guido. It has platinum finish with golden parts and ivory grips

"Bel Air Brawler" - owned by Jeremiah and put into his customized weapon collection. It has grey finish, Connor Compesator barrel with 'Bel Air Brawler' engraved on it and sometimes can be seen with a Onlooker compact scope. Uses .357 ammo.

"The Holy Equalizer" - owned by original Eve. Modifications include indigo colored iron sights, Long Joe barrel and stainless pink finish.

3. Behind The Scenes

-Steel Crow is based on Desert Eagle, along with HWM parodying IMI, original creator of Desert Eagle. Another manufacturer of Steel Crow is a parody of Magnum Research. HWM's name is a analogy for IMI, while Nitro Technologies is a play on Magnum Research (Nitro comes from Nitro Express, bullets used to hunt animals).

-Some Custom Steel Crows are based off various Desert Eagles made for movies or tv shows, "Major Mindblower" is based on Deagle seen in The Boondock Saints, "Big Platty" was created around custom Desert Eagle seen in Sopranos and "Bel Air Brawler" is based on Desert Eagles seen in The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, but with some visual diffrences and occasionally can be seen with a scope.

-The name of main cartridge and weapon description are reference to movie Death Sentence.

-Some unique parts are named after movies, games or other things:

Connor Compesator comes from name of Connor McManus from The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, same for Murphy Custom Silencer for Barista 92

Golden Eye Laser System is based on laser sight mounted on a Desert Eagle seen in 007: Nightfire

PF5's name is a nod to game Phantom Forces, where L5, PF5's inspiration appears

Police Contractor Package's first letters for PCP, which is type of illegal narcotics

Hawk Lighter custom muzzle is a nod to Lightning Hawk from Resident Evil and it's design is based off real life airsoft replicas when drawn in more detail

Leon Biohazard barrel is same barrel as seen on Desert Eagle Leon Custom airsoft replica

Long Joe barrel is a play on term "Long Johnson" which is a usually jokingly used term for a penis

[crossover-enthusiast]

Well basically ithe movie follows arlo who is half gator half human on his journey to nyc to find his father

Hes of course pursued by bad guys, trying to make them a sideshow oddity to make money off of, while running into other oddities like himself 

A really big strong girl, a man who is basically walking hair, a short guy with a tail, a cat girl, and a reverse merman

Anyway his father denies being his dad, and when he goes to try again with his friends he almost gets through to him before being dragged off by badies with their beast which is basically a wereshiba

His father saves him and reveals he is a birdman

Theres more there obviously but anyway

An au where a lot if the spooky month characters are oddities and the town is a safe haven for them

Now some of them are human, like lila and jaune, but then their partners and sons arent

Skid is of course this little skeleton boy and pump a pumpkin boy

The haunted house gang are similar to their costumes

Streber is a bat boy, while ethan just looks like a vampire

Blaz is a wolfman, confi’s skin changes color/pattern like a chameleon

Liv and aria im not sure though

Kevin finds his way into town and looks like a dragon human hybrid

In this au he is nit related to jaune unfortunately, and is very secretive about where he came from

I can talk more tomorrow but i gotta go to bed ive got work in the morning

Ohhhh this sounds so cool!! I'd love to hear more when you get back from work :>

Confi being like a chameleon is so cool

Hmm, maybe Liv could be like always falling apart or changing pieces? Kind of like Zooble from TADC. Maybe there's even a joke that she wears an eyepatch because she can't find her other eye

10 Best Bollywood Movies With Their Mushy Friendship Goals!

Playing a major part in shaping oneself, friendships hold the golden seat in our hearts. More embellished, naturally, with the stones we choose and adorn it with! That is of course our friends!

Now, growing up watching Jai- Veeru the epic and chaotic duo, and Imran- Kabir- Arjun, the messy trio sure did set some serious friendship goals ahead of us.

Have you always wanted a group of friends that would just be the epitome of Bollywood drama and love? Or do you and your wonderful friends take a little from Bollywood on friendship? Either way, you must look at the carefully created list of movies that are MAJOR Friendship goals. No cap- these movies can be considered toppers in a friendship day movies time binge list:

Sholay

Either while having a gala time with our friends or departing from them for a long time, the song “Yeh Dosti Hum Nahi Todenge ” makes an appearance somehow. Though released in 1975, it teaches the essence of a true friendship even in 2022. We are sure the legacy will continue for decades to come- setting an example for the youth. The direction, the song placement the depiction of love and friendship- everything was, is, and will be perfect about Sholay, which makes it one of the best friendship movies ever released.

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

What is better than your dream vacation? A vacation with your friends! Be it friends motivating each other or them being up to some shenanigans, we always use “Apne andar chhupe dar ko mitana chahte ho na? Toh ye raha hum sabka sabse bada darr – Maut. Let’s face it.” From finding our purpose to fighting our inner demons, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara has taught us all of it. But mainly, all of us need at least one vacation with our group once in our lifetime!

Dil Chahta Hai

“Ham Logon Ko Har Saal Na Ek Baar Goa Zaroor Aana Chahiye ” Deciding and then procrastinating on the Goa Plans? Time to relish the beauty of Goa and the friendship between Sameer, Akaash, and Sid! Maybe that will inspire you to finally bring fruit to your Goa Plans! Not only Dil Chahta Hai, but many more Bollywood movies have been a major part in giving us all major FOMO for missing all those Goa trips- still, every single one of the viewers will always be reminded of Dil Chahta Hai while talking of friendships and Goa!

3 Idiots

The exemplary friendship movie of the decade- Three idiots! It is a tale of three young, serious but fun loving guys, bonding over their common pains – ragging and engineering. The sheer naivety with which the characters play around in their years of college, using their wit to counter even the slightest of bullying, fills our heart with love and nostalgia about our own friendships.

And when Farhan said, “Badi Duvidha Thi, Dost Ko Sambhalte Ki Dost Ki Maa Ke Aasoon Pochte…Phir Humne Socha Hatao Yaar Matar Paneer Pe Concentrate Karo…” It summed up the entire gist of friendship.

Munna Bhai MBBS

Loving our friends so much that we are the perfect duo like Munna and Circuit means “Bhai ne bola karne ka matlab karne ka”. Being around for one another all the time and never giving up is the spirit MunnaBhai teaches us with the chaos that ensues in the entertainer of the decade.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

Ever thought of embarking on a journey that is a contrast of what you normally are? Just imagine meeting your high school bullies on it and eventually making friends with them! Exciting, isn’t it? Well Naina sure did live our dream before we could. As you know- “Kuchh logo ke sath sirf waqt bitaane se sab kuchh sahi ho jaata hai!” And Bunny, Naina, Avi and Aditi’s bond proves it right.

Andaaz Apna Apna

The movie depicts Amar and Prem the mastaane’s banter-filled friendship, while delivering punches of laughter. There’s a distinctive fun in saying “Shabash mere cheetey!” whenever your friend aces anything. Andaaz Apna Apna is a classic comedy released more than 2 decades ago, still manages to tickle your funny bone whenever we watch it.

Stree

Every group of friends has this one man infatuated with a beautiful woman, just like Vicky! And every Vicky needs his friends to guide him not only on the rules to persuade his love interest but also to help him out of all the roadblocks by saying- “Wo Stree hai!”

Phir Hera Pheri

When you cancel a plan, emotional drama is bound to come from your group. Do you also dismiss them by saying the classic dialogue from Raju- “50 rupaya kaat over acting ka?”  Well you are  one Bollywood fan, we must say.  Well looking at the plans Raju had for the trio to grow rich; we can say it is good to sometimes not go forward with them.  Even if Phir Hera Pheri is hailed as a comedy movie, it can be noted as the best movie on friendship that Bollywood has ever fished out for us viewers.

Chhichhore

There comes a day when all friends drift apart for reasons like career, family, further studies, etc. Everyone knows it is a blast from the past when the long-lost friends meet. And when the memories take us into the flashback- it only makes the bonds stronger. Because-“Dost jinke sath hum haste hai, rote hai Par zindagi jeena sikhte hai”. Chhichhore is one such movie that makes us miss our friends a lot more than we do in our daily lives. Bonus- it makes us believe in never giving up on our goals.

Every genre may or may not lose its charm over time, but friendship rules ahead in Indian cinema. This has been proven time and again with amazing friendship movies coming our way year by year. So here was our take on the best friendship movies Bollywood has given us till date.

If you enjoyed what you read and would like to incorporate these movies into your day-to-day lives, check out all the uber-cool T-shirts available at Sabezy.

Indicators on Bernedoodle Dog Breed Health, Grooming You Need To Know

The bernedoodle is a cross between a Bernese mountain canine and a dog. It's also named Bernese Mountain Girl because of being the only one of its kind, and it's not a large dog breeder of big, cosy white colored labradors so maybe there would be some passion. This pet dog receives the label coming from its title that you may read through concerning on the Google image of its in the frontal yard or the name of an owner of this kind. This hybrid mixtures the ingenious goofiness of the dog, along with the collected devotion of the Bernese. The Bernese's affection the Poodles, and when asked to buy it, the Bernese would state, 'I'll take it!'. The dog at Köln offer us a quite various technique to a dog and its owners. A new appeal, with an initial appearance produced from the poodle's feathers, will definitely be released by the end of the year. What’s more, the bernedoodle is low to non-shedding, and is a risk-free wager for the majority of folks with allergy symptoms. When it creates a variation, you acquire this one that is commonly a quite good bargain. What are some other benefits of the Buffalo Wild Wings Wings? Buffalo Wild Wings can easily be consumed prepared at home, utilized as fast food items, and provided cold. I feel the bernedoodle is the perfect partner pet dog. It's like my little dog who just likes to possess a place in their landscape. She's really not a badie. And she never goes in for badie talk. Her 1st response is constantly enthusiastic because she's been listed here before. Also merely a little bit like my canine! Her face constantly looks really fired up! And her rear and feets constantly look cute like I'd never viewed one in the past! Although several are impressive, they are not multiplied for the program ring. In truth, they are the best degree of performance that the human body system can handle, and may simply be sustained by powerful males, such as sportsman, boxer, and fighter-bully. Males commonly offer a performance comparable to three to four opportunities as much weight as a lady, which is considerably more than also a guy. No guy may make a woman lift the exact same elevation as a male. They are suggested to be at your side no matter whether you are exploring, snowshoeing, or existing on the couch watching a movie. I have directly climbed up numerous terrific mountain ranges and numerous terrific opportunities. To put that in to viewpoint for instance, I was standing out in the snow, and the whole time as they were not therefore crystal clear. The people inside the outdoor tents were not informed that I was there certainly. The folks around me were not also aware that the men was here. Their only job is to be your best pal. Currently you are out there trying to verify how privileged you can easily be through being your finest individual. Don't be a fool; you'll be far better than he is. This aids you to establish in to the best. This receives you the finest of you and that you are a great individual. 6-9. Self-Discovery We regularly need to begin along with self-discovery to feel far better about ourselves. The genes coming from the parent types unite in unique techniques, and it’s forever fascinating to find what each trash generates.The two most significant differences, both in the kind and the formative phases of the type’ are the lack of guys, and the lack of females—in enhancement to the extra popular (but much more current and often bewildered, all-female) pair-bases.The major trouble with the found research study is a variety of small (instead superficial) differences. That mentioned, prospective managers should understand that there may be a lot of variant in a hybrid litter, and should as a result pick a dog breeder who can help match them along with the best dog for their scenarios. The new managers may have to take some time to look at the a variety of readily available possibilities (some household pets may not be prepared for routine clutter), and it's up to the breeder to make a decision how many he or she might have left on call just before the end of the year. Purebreds may be the preferred choice for individuals who prefer of a routine. Many people, and even very most well established individuals, fall right into four groups. The 1st individual is characterized by excellent (incl. great goals, credibility) and good-spirited self-consciousness (i.e., they don't possess to possess an disagreement). The 2nd individual is identified by excellent psychological intellect (i.e., the highest aspect is constantly great). When I was writing explanations of my canines, I was attacked through the consistency of the characteristics one of the purebreds. I was attacked once again by an variance of the pets I recognized; I was attacked once more by the variant of breeds within the two loved ones; the pattern of breed-specific qualities was the pattern that I felt I had monitored all over a whole lot of pets. These observations led me to strongly believe that my pets are different coming from the even more well-known assortments of new puppies due to this absence of a attribute.

With Source , one well-bred Berner is really comparable to the following: sweet, caring, and tranquil. This has to be a solid Berner. The one to take a swing at is this German Shepherd, a very skilled and faithful guard that seems incredibly well-bred but quite inadequate at handling in order to take the following big assault. An various other important variable is that Berner pet dogs are far better at understanding that the human beings are attempting to kill the humans. One well-bred poodle is likewise quite similar to the next: fun, intelligent, and wacky. Most guy, and/or male-to-female puppies are either sinister or heartless in their attributes (in both of her scenarios, either) and are going to often express their fears or dissatisfactions without resorting to violence or rudeness. It is also usual for a women pet to possess aggressive and heartless behaviors.

[gardner-sac-ops]

One of the things I always tend to stress out when writing out gritty realistic gunfights, is there is no such thing as plot armor protecting any of my characters whatsoever when thrown into these types of situation. It's not like some fucking high level tactical guys able to clear out every fucking room, killing all the badies without breaking a sweat no problem. No, it fucking doesn't even work like that most of the dang time. Just because you have a tough and well trained SWAT team, doesn't even mean they won't get fucked up with bullet holes bleeding out. It’s this grittiness that makes it more immersive, and not knowing who's going to win or come out of this in one piece helps drawn in the immersive of an actual gunfight taking place.

I've written up shooters getting instantly face-planted at point fucking blank, pulling fast reactions, barley shouldering weapons, kicking away at angles almost to the point of tripping over. There are a couple of movies I know out there that tries to make these kinds of scenes more believable (Example: Heat, Den of Thieves, The Veteran, Sicario, The Town, Saving Private Ryan) but there's also others that are absolute shit when pulling these things. Thing is, it's isn't some typical Hollywood action bullcrap, this is CQB combat in it' most raw form, and practically anything can kill you.

And to help illustrate my point

My response to the Lilo tweet

(This is all copied and pasted from my twitter.)

I want to really deconstruct this. Like so very bady, because this is just stupid on every level.

Let's get the obvious out of the way, shall we? LILO IS A LITTLE GIRL! SHE IS NOT MENTALLY MATURE YET!

Obivious thing number two. They're siblings. Siblings quarell like that all the time. It wasn't even that nasty honestly.

If your perception on children is that they are completly aware of the world and the weight of their actions, you must really not get kids. Like at all.

I also find what they about Stitch funny. Since the whole 'he emodies her bad side' thing is completly bullshit. Lilo and Stitch's dynamic is that Lilo and her childishness is good for Stitch. They help free him of his violent tendencies.

He finds compainionship with her antics.

They grow and get past their troubles together. Also. I do want to point out that Lilo isn't a monster. The only time she does something genuinly bad is when she keeps Nani out of their house. That is it. Nothing else.

Oh wait. I'm sorry. Little kids shouldn't be hurt or angry when a person that gives them shit for no real reason makes fun of their DEAD PARENTS.

Another funny thing is that they call the Godfather a fun movie. When it's a very serious movie about the mob. Involving death. Fun times. (Admitiblly they could just mean that it's a good story, but I doubt that.)

Also. THEY WERE NEVER, EVER ABUSIVE TO NANI! YOU HAVE TO BE SERIOUSLY STUPID TO JUMP TO THAT CONCLUSION! AT THE VERY WORST, THEY DISAGREED A LOT! THAT IS IT!

But hey, actually watching the movie to get your facts straight is very hard man.

Also, Lilo is not Megan from Drake and Josh. She is just a normal little girl. She can be a bit bratty, but that's not really the worst thing ever. It just means some disipline is in order.

Hell does Lilo every do anything bad in the movie? Like anything? Sure she locked Nami out of her house, but that was one thing and it was because she wanted to be alone. Other than that, I don't remember her doing anything really bad. A bit michevious maybe, but that's it.

I also do want to talk about the Hawiian culture angel a bit. I'm not very knowledable on the subject, but I don't think they said anything really off about it. In fact I remember a line from Nani about how her culture was treated when she quit her waitress job.

Also, the era they depicted. As in present day? They never once said anything about this not taking place in the present day.

Keep in mind. Lilo and Stitch came out in the early 2000's. So that makes the whole era thing even more confusing to me.

Also, the whole 'never take responsiblity' thing is complete crap. Aside from maybe the thing Stitch did in the end, responsiblity was never a point. Oh wait. They mean that the guy who was created to be a killing machine doesn't go to prison for not killing anything.

Yeah that's another thing. Stitch never really did anything wrong or unlawful aside from being made to kill. So that argument fell flat on it's stupid face.

I would also state that they said they would be brief and yet they went on for eightteen paragraphs. Yes I counted.

This is a waste of everyone's time. Have a nice day everybody.

#lilo and stitch #nani #rant #I'm angry right now #People need to learn to shut up #pretty please #Anyway watch Lilo and Stitch

He's 16 years old

He can hold his own in a fight

He killed someone

He is a minor

He once got beaten by a board and didn't cry

Just bc he expressed remorse for murder, doesn't make him any less of a murderer

"But Des! He was just defending himself and Pony!" That is true, however, it doesn't change the fact that he is one, and you guys need to stop fucking acting like all he does is cry and is a "smol uwu baby". He isn't some stutter-y fool who can't speak up for himself. He stood up to DALLAS. He stood up to the SOCS. He saved CHILDREN. Johnny is so misinterpreted. He's SOFT SPOKEN, He is not DEFENCELESS.

Ponyboy is NOT a cry baby.

He is a 14 year old boy who lost his parents and then saw a DEAD body right in front of him

Ponyboy is a CHILD

Please read that one again

Ponyboy is a child who lost 4 people in less than a year

Who would most likely deal w ptsd.

Ponyboy can also hold his own in a fight.

The reason why pony thinks everyone hates him; HES A KID DUDE. Everyone gets that feeling.

"But Des! He cries a lot in the book :(". You tell me that you wouldn't cry after being an orphan raised by your eldest brother who is under so much stress that you think he hates you, lose your parents in a car crash, near 'bout fucking drown than like 30 minutes later see that person dead right next to you, lose your best friend right in front of your eyes, and then witness someone's suicide. The kid is going through the motions. He can't even remember to keep both of his shoes on, he has a nicotine addiction, and had to go to court to pretty much testify.

Dallas is literally a criminal at like 16ish years old

He fights

Steals

Harasses women

He terrorizes kids

All for the hell of it

He got locked up at 10

He isn't some good guy, he is a TERRIBLE person

"Uh, Des, He gave Johnny and Pony a place to stay when they went on the run, he obviously is a good person." Ok, no. Literally. No. He gave them a temporary place to go while they were on the run for murder. He gave a child a gun. He literally kept trying to get into Cherry's pants after she told him no. That is nOT ok. You guys need to stop glorifying Dallas as this hero who saved the day. Dallas is CANNONLY terrible person; he bullies kids, harasses women, breaks peoples bones for fun, steals and tried to rob a man at gun point. How bad of a kid could you be to get locked up at 10??

Soda is a high school drop out.

And he isnt better than Sandy

He flirted with other chicks

He made inappropriate comments to women

Soda's pretty much only talents are being "pretty" and "good at cars"

He isn't that smart. It's literally canon. And he's also a child at 16.

"But Sandy cheated Des!" In the book, i dont remember where it said Sandy cheated. I know she ran away to Florida. But the whole cheating part i dont really remember that. It's pretty much speculation people made to peg Sandy, a woman only mentioned like ONE or TWO TIMES, a villan. Soda isn't that much better if she even did cheat anyway. Soda regularily called women names, cat call, whistle, flirted. Pretty much was unloyal in different ways. Soda isn't that innocent either.

Steve doesnt fucking hate Ponyboy.

Steve isn't mentioned more than a handful of times anyway

Steve is pretty much described as Soda's best friend, who's gf's name is Evie, and "hates Pony"

He doesn't hate pony.

Coming from the eldest sibling with 5 younger, anyone would get annoyed if their friend's younger sibling would try to tag along everywhere.

He isnt a drop out, and is 16

Another child

Wow

"But Des. Pony literally says Steve hates him." And what i gotta say is; there are 2 sides to every story. Everything you guys say about Steve are pretty much speculation bc you want to villanize someone so bady. Steve is a child/teenager who wants to hang w his best friend and his gf, and his best friends gf without a kid tagging along. And i totally relate. It. Gets. Irritating. Stop villanizing Steve. Hes pretty much the best character.

Two Bit is a 18 year old alcoholic

Who pulls up girl's skirts at movie theaters

Does he even have a gf bc if he did he's definitely a cheater

Twobit is 18 and a jr in hs (wow just like my pos exgf)

He cares about ponyboy and shows it

He blames himself for pony getting sick (even tho that little asshole took a shitton of meds which isnt good)

"But Des! He-" nope. Shut up. TwoBit is a little shit too, he pulled a girls skirt up in public, does that mean him doing a bunch of good shit eliminate him humiliating that girl? Fuck no, he should pay the consequences of his actions. He isn't pure and innocent either, but he isnt a huge fucking dickwad either. He's just insensitive to women's feelings.

DARRY IS 20.

HE IS UNDER A LOT OF STRESS

HE'S BARELY PAYING BILLS

He's worried all the time, Ponyboy sleeping until the middle of the damn night in a fucking lot doesn't make it better.

Should he have slapped him? No. Do i understand on why he did? Yea

I have slapped the shit out of someone for saying something out of line. Ponyboy is a child, he doesnt understand the stress of being an adult, said something, and Dar lost it for a second.

"Darry abused Ponyboy!" No. He didn't. He did not abuse his brother, he provides the necessities, he smacked him ONE TIME. That is not abuse, maybe a small assault, but not abuse. And please refer to the fact, there is pretty much a cake in the fridge everyday that he makes. He works a job roofing houses, he takes care of a brother who dropped out of school and a brother whos going through a quarter life crisis. The man is stressed and tired. But he, of all people, doesn't deserve to be villanized the way y'all are doing. Quit.

"Cherry Valance/Sandy/Sylvia are a bunch of whores who cheated!" Yo, shut the fuck up. Cherry didnt even cheat. She talked to pony and then stopped. She had a reputation to uphold, shes a cheerleader, she has the ideal life. I completely understand on why she stopped, bc in all honesty i would have stopped too if my whole reputation was at stake. I did talk stop talking to a bunch of people bc my reputation and friendships were at stake. Shes also a kid.

Sandy is a teenager who made a mistake/choice if she did cheat. But running away from her problems is something a lot of people do. Ok. I know a lot of people who run away from their problems. Its pretty fucking common.

I DO NOT BLAME SYLVIA FOR CHEATING ON DALLAS. The man is in jail pretty much all of the time, he is bad with communicating his feelings, he's a fucking asshole. He probably cheated on her too, and treated her like shit. Don't villanize Sylvia and treat Dal like some victim of "bad gf syndrome" when they both made mistakes in the relationship.

Movies watched in March so far

Penthouse North

Already complained about-- I mean, discussed this movie. It rips off better thrillers and the tensest moment is Michael Keaton trying to murder a cat. You can skip it.

No Regrets for Our Youth

Kurosawa’s first movie after WWII. I loved it more than I expected. It’s a look back at the social atmosphere of Japan in the 1930s and early 1940s as well as a moving coming-of-age story for Yukie, Kurosawa’s only female protagonist.

The Unfortunate Marriage (or The Woman in White)

I’ve been binging Thanhouser shorts lately, but they did produce a few features before closing up operations in the late 1910s. Unfortunately, The Unfortunate Marriage is a rather ho-hum example of silent melodrama, with some of the most obvious bad guys in the history of mustache-twirling and an overly rushed story that never conjures the atmosphere or suspense you’d want for a mystery. Adapted from the Victorian novel The Woman in White, about all it has going for it is Florence La Badie, a charming and lovely young actress whose career was ended by her untimely death.

10th Doctor Novels Review from ‘oh give me a break’ to ‘more of that please!’ There are DW novels and then there are DW NOVELS and today, fellow Whovians, I will be giving you MY list of the top 5ish best and worst novels from the 10th Doctors’ run.  I think all the books in the best category could be switched around depending on what you are looking for from #10.  For instance, I like him best when he is alone so you don’t get the classic, ‘must save companion’ story and I also like the one’s where he is a hairs-breath away from being killed. It bears repeating that, except for the book at the #1 spot which no one who has read it would ever argue that it doesn’t deserve that honor, this is simply how ‘I’ would rank them.  YMMV.   Also, and this is a big one if you keep going YOU WILL SEE SPOILERS, so proceed with caution if you plan on reading any of the books on the list.  So, go on and read/listen to it…. we will wait. (Taps foot and drums fingers while whistling the DW theme.  Badly.) Welllll…I said we will wait but, welllll…. I really meant that I would wait but welllll…. nah, you had your chance so just tread lightly.  Or read with your eyes closed because, and let me repeat this…. THERE ARE SOME MAJOR, MAJOR SPOILERS!! )))))*((((( Imho and without going into too much detail, the following can be passed by without missing out on anything.   In fact, if you read any of these first you may just be turned off of DW books completely.   The Last Dodo by Jacqueline Rayner Ummm, if you are interested in trying to figure out where the Dodo went, this might appeal to you.  The only interesting feature is that where it ended up is where the Doctor might end up unless he and Martha can free the missing creatures from all across the universe from this evil zoo.  Trust me, not as exciting as it sounds but it might have been if it been written better.  And in that same vein we have…… The Doctor Trap by Simon Messingham I don’t know what it is about trying to catch the Doctor because he is the last of his kind that just cannot be written right, but here is another.  I had high hopes for this one because it starts out pretty good but after the first chapter or so you just want to scream ‘CATCH HIM ALREADY AND MAKE THE PAIN OF READING THIS STOP!!’   The Wooden Heart by Martin Day Has nothing to do with a heart that is wooden.  I am still unsure as to why it is called what it’s called.  On the ‘Goodreads’ website the description of the book states: A trip through space becomes a nightmare walk in the woods for the Doctor and Martha.  Period.  End of description.  I think the reason it ends there is because there is nothing much more to say.  I have read much better fanfic than this.   Others that I consider a touch better, with maybe a little less snore factor are…. The Slitheen Excursion by Simon Guerrier The Many Hands by Dale Smith )))))*((((( Whew, let’s all take a deep breath and get into the tasty 10 tales, shall we? The Stone Rose by Jacqueline Rayner How do you take a story about ancient Rome, a 2000 year old statue of Rose aka the goddess Fortuna found at the British Museum, a genie, fake astrologer, evil sculptor and a crazed Doctor who is panic stricken while trying to save her but gets thrown into the REAL lion’s den and forced to fight in the Colosseum, and make it all work?  Write a book like this!  If you like your books a bit timey-wimey you will eat this one up.  AND this is the only published story where I think you will ever read the lines…. “(His) arms flexed and grabbed Rose into a hug. Soft lips pressed hers with a kiss of gratitude and joy and unspeakable pleasure at being alive.” A gazillion Ten/Rose shippers just punched the air.  They also would agree with Rose when, a line or two later she says…. “I think you must be real…my imagination’s not that good.”   Neither is ours Rose, neither is ours.  A fast and :: cough:: satisfying read! In the Blood by Jenny Colgan Ok, I know that a lot of people have a problem with the fact that whoever did the proof-reading was obviously sleeping on the job, but I still think it is a great book.   And strangely enough, I really wasn’t thrilled by the premise of the story; an infection is let loose over the internet turning normally calm, everyday people into violent pressure cookers who die when their anger gets too much for their hearts to handle.   What I DO love is how much the author just ‘gets’ the Doctor and Donna and the predicaments she puts them in.  I mean she just nails them and by doing so it elevates the story into something special.  On top of that Colgan introduces a near perfect pseudo-villain named Fief.  He is a big brute of a guy from the planet Cadmia who is unpredictable and whose loyalties are to his people and to retrieving the source of the infection no matter what he has to do to get it.  He is unfeeling, totally logical and robotic (picture the Terminator and he comes pretty close) and wears an earpiece that connects him to his world who are all raised on and made of sound.  When the Doctor entrusts him to care for Donna as he believes he is going to his death, Fief obeys and holds Donna back from following him.  He seems to connect to Donna which is fascinating to read.  Meanwhile back on the train, the Doctor disconnects the engine so that the cars slow and stop but he has to get the train to jump the tracks before it barrels into the town.  The big problem is that the train is suspended over a huge viaduct located in the Brazilian rainforest and it is one hell of a long way down.  And since the engine is heavier than he is it will burst into a huge ball of flame which our hero will land in as well.  Colgan comes up with some of the most beautiful writing here as the Doctor falls…. “And, as he cut through the air, all the things that fall pulsed through his head: a glorious downed pheasant on the wing; and a windfall apple in Lincolnshire; and a golden ball in Pisa; and a hammer and a feather on the moon; and a wall in the bitter east; and every passing snowflake and lonely airman and oh so many tumbling stars…. And he felt a part of all of these things.” There are other heart stopping moments in this book that make me wish it was available on audio.  Another winner! FUN MENTION/Target Novelization of…. “The Day of the Doctor” by Moffat Since we are talking Ten, I am adding this for one reason and one reason only: The Tenth Doctor kicks the Eleventh Doctors ass.  After releasing the initial script for the ‘movie,’ the Moff rewrote it to help clarify some things and give each Doctor a bit more back story.  It explains how Ten had been put in that very same cell during his Zygon investigation that all three of them got thrown in together.  Elizabeth tosses him in there because she believes him to be a spy and yet visits him often because he makes her laugh…. even during his torture on ‘the rack.’  Pre-picnic shows how he came within seconds of being beheaded (he wonders if both his head and body would regenerate if separated) and how he wanted his final thoughts to matter…. “Realizing he was now, beyond all doubt about to die, the Doctor rose up inside himself, steadied his hearts and chose his final thought with care. The children. The children of Gallifrey.” This I think, more than any other reason explains why he was so angry when 11 didn’t remember how many children died.  In the book version he becomes so angry that he gets in his face, screams at him about not remembering then grabs his shirt and throws him across the room into the opposite wall, knocking him out.  11 wakes up to seeing 10 pacing and mumbling about how he doesn’t hit people but then says, “But 2.47 billion children!” before launching himself once more at 11 but this time gets him in a headlock shouting “How could you forget?!  HOW COULD YOU FORGET?!” I would have paid good money to have seen this instead of merely reading it.   It is for everyone who sobbed their eyes out when 10 regenerated and still to this day have a hard time revisiting it.  This is all of us saying to 11, ‘Yeah, take THAT bowtie boy!’ even though we ended up liking him eventually. 3 - Peacemaker by James Swallow Quote: “A weapon is only a tool. I’ve heard a lot of people say that over the years. But so is a hammer, and if that’s the only tool you have, pretty soon everything starts to look like a nail.” Oh, I love that!   Peacemaker is a scifi western.  No, really it is and guess what…Swallow pulls it off!   The official summary is: “The peace and quiet of a remote homestead in the 1880s American West is shattered by the arrival of two shadowy outriders searching for 'the healer'. When the farmer refuses to help them, they burn the house and the owners to the ground, using guns that shoot bolts of energy instead of bullets... In the town of Redwater, the Doctor and Martha learn of a snake-oil salesman whose patent medicines actually cure his patient. But when the Doctor and Martha investigate, they discover the truth is stranger, and far more dangerous. Caught between the law of the gun and the deadly plans of intergalactic mercenaries, the Doctor and Martha are about to discover just how wild the West can become...” Whew, a lot to take in I know but very worth it.  The badie is a good one called the Clade which exist for one thing: war, death and destruction.  They are on earth to get back a gun that belongs to them and they will stop at NOTHING to retrieve it.   Problem is one man found it and the gun did what it is meant to do which is attach itself to its host and take it over completely.  It has the ability to heal but that is not its main purpose.  The Clade are simply machines that were made on a planet which was at war and let the Clade do the battles for them.  But then there was peace and the Clade had no purpose anymore so they waited and waited and finally decided to destroy the civilization that made them and then go out into the universe to fight battles wherever they could.   I can picture the Doctor donning a cowboy hat and riding a horse.  One of the many scenes I really like is when 3 gunslingers come out of a bar and challenge the Doctor to a duel.  It goes like this…. “The Lyle Brothers were quick on the draw, and they put a fan of bullets into the air before them; but they could only be as fast as human beings.  The Doctor was a Time Lord, and he moved between the ticks of the clock.  His hand blurred towards the holster on his hip, grabbing the slender wand there and thumbing the activation switch.  The sonic screwdriver droned loudly, and the air between the gunslingers and the Doctor shimmered like heat-haze off the desert.  Three speeding dots of lead stopped dead and flattened against an invisible wall of sound, before falling harmlessly to the dirt.” The end of the book was shocking when the Doctor makes the ultimate sacrifice by allowing the gun to take him over so that he can use it to save Martha’s life.  After that it was an internal battle between the Clade gun that was trying to possess him, and the Doctors own inner struggle which was a fascinating fight.   2 – The Eyeless by Lance Parkin Quote:  “Do you know what?  In the end their sacrifice made no difference.  Because THEY survived.  Thousands of them, millions.  Just one.  It doesn’t matter.  It’s the same thing. And…do you know what?... life is always better than death. Always.  Yet I want all of THEM dead.  Every single last one of them.  When did I become someone who wanted to exterminate?  When was that? When did they win?’   Take one brilliant hero, put him in a position where he must find and remove such a incredibly lethal weapon that it can destroy whole planets, then put it at the heart of a HUGE pyramid shaped fortress whose defense systems both inside and out are pin-point accurate to protect the weapon and you would have an good story.  THEN throw in an alien species called the Eyeless who are made of a glass like material and who also want the weapon and will kill the Doctor to keep him from getting it and you are probably reading a great story! THEN add in thousands of ‘ghosts’ that also inhabit the fortress and whose touch turns their victims into a ghost as well.  Even though they mean no harm, they do not understand their effect on those they touch which makes them yet another barrier for him to get by.  This up’s the entertainment factor, making it a fantastic story!  Finally throw into the mix one bully teenager who HATES the Doctor and also wants him dead, make the Doctor companionless, lonely and very introspective, have it all put together by an exceptional writer…. mix well and you have something that you lose sleep over and will reread multiple times.   The Doctor is up against an almost insurmountable goal that very nearly breaks him.  It is a breathless page-turner that is not for the faint of heart.  Parkin wrote this for a Doctor who is quick on his feet, a blazingly fast thinker who can stay one step ahead of multiple traps and enemies, one who is physically strong and extremely cunning.  In other words, Ten.  I can’t see any of the others having all those qualities in one dynamic package that Parkin could have placed center stage except him. For instance... “The Doctor had broken free of the Eyeless, but it still had a six-fingered handful of his coat and jacket lapel.  The Doctor was closed in, his arm under the Eyeless’ so that he had it in what he rather hoped was a wrestling hold…. The glass man shoved the Doctor against the back wall.  It wasn’t any stronger than a human being, although that was strong enough to push the air out of his lungs.  He recovered, twisted, managed to trip the Eyeless over and now he had it pinned, his knee in its back, although it was hard to keep hold….” And this was just one Eyeless.  At one point during the above scene Parkin describes it as almost like a waltz as the two vie for dominance over the other.  There is a lot of physical jousting and plain old hand to (glass) hand combat that I don’t think any of the others could have pulled off as well as Ten.   Where the ghosts are concerned there’s a part where he is surrounded by them as they advance. He is trying to get through to them that if they touch him, he will not become a ghost, he will just disappear.  But there is a part of him that is just so tired and feels so alone that he actually wonders if that would be a bad thing.   As they come closer you can tell that he is almost yelling at himself when he loses it, saying to them… “I’m the last one,” the Doctor said. ‘I’m it.  My people died.  All of them.  And Time Lords don’t die just the once, you know.  You have to kill us a lot more than once to make it stick.’   Still the ghosts pressed at him, some holding out their hands like beggars after a scrap of food, some shouldering towards him like they were after a fight, some apparently just wanting him to see them cry.  They kept coming, like waves to a beach.   ‘Do you know what?  In the end their sacrifice made no difference.  Because THEY survived.  Thousands of them, millions.  Just one.  It doesn’t matter.  It’s the same thing.  And…do you know what?... life is always better than death.  Always.  Yet I want all of THEM dead.  Every single last one of them.  When did I become someone who wanted to exterminate?  When was that?  When did they win?’   The ghosts weren’t listening.” At times it feels like you are eavesdropping on a therapy session because we get to hear the inner workings of his mind.  It is a fascinating way to understand this Doctor’s motivations and feel his loneliness.  This story is like one big ‘Escape Room’ where you either solve it or die trying.  As the Doctor would say, ‘no second chances.’  It’s that kind of story.   1 – Prisoner of the Daleks by Trevor Baxendale Scene: “The execution squad was already moving back towards Jennifer and Kuli, taking up extermination positions again. The Doctor ran over and placed himself between the Daleks, the little girl and her mother. “If you really want to kill them then you’ll have to go through me first.” “You can be disabled" warned Dalek X "Try It” The Dalek guns twitched impatiently in their sockets.  All eyes were on the Doctor, but he met the pitiless blue stares unflinchingly. “Harm them in any way and I will not cooperate. You can disable me and torture me again or even kill me, but you will NEVER get the TARDIS!” ― Trevor Baxendale, Prisoner of the Daleks Fellow Whovians please bow down and give thanks to the man who wrote possibly the greatest DW novel of all time, certainly of the reboot…. Trevor Baxendale.  Ok, ok so I haven’t read EVERY DW book so the ‘all time’ comment can be almost ignored.  I say almost because I have read reviews by those who have been fans from Hartnell to now who have also said that this is the absolute best ever written.  Don’t believe me?  Check out YouTube where there have been a couple of attempts at recreating scenes, or the video reading of the first chapter with intro and backdrop, whole pages filled with fan art of this very book on DeviantArt etc. etc.  Hell, just look at the ratings on Amazon for it.  Even Barnes and Noble along with the BBC thought it worthy of putting it, along with “Remembrance of the Daleks” from the Classic era into their ‘bonded-leather binding, with distinctive gilt edging and an attractive silk-ribbon bookmark’.  One thing I do take issue with is where it says that on Amazon that it offers…. “…hours of pleasure to readers young and old…” Ahhh, no.  “Prisoner…” is most definitely NOT for the young reader.  It is one of the most, if not THE most adult DW book I have ever read and I have read 95% of the reboots novels.  At times it is downright brutal.  There is no other book where a scene like this is featured…. (He is dragged into a room and forced to stand against a metal wall where he is bound to it via tight clamps around his ankles and wrists.  Then something is clamped to his head with hundreds of fine needles pricked his scalp.) “I AM DALEK X’ ‘Can’t say I’m pleased to meet you, sorry’ ‘YOU ARE ATTACHED TO A DALEK MIND PROBE.  IT HAS BEEN CALIBRATED TO YOUR SPECIFIC BRAINWAVE FREQUENCY.’ ‘You won’t get anything out of me’ the Doctor blurted. ‘THAT IS NOT THE INTENTION’ replied Dalek X. ‘YET.’ ‘I INTEND TO MEASURE YOUR CAPACITY FOR PHYSICAL PAIN’ said Dalek X ‘Oh.  Why?’ ‘BECAUSE I WISH TO.’ Suffice it to say that what they do to him is written pretty graphically and is even hard to re-type.  There is one part, however, I do like which comes after the second time (in a row, btw) they torture him that I think sums up 10 pretty well, “His brain felt like it was about to burst, but when the torment ended the Doctor found himself laughing.  “That’s it, isn’t it?” he panted, his breath ragged and thin.  “Your losing!” It’s the laughter that makes the scene so surprising and makes it uniquely Ten.   There they are, my least favorite and my best.  What do you think?  Which are yours?
