High Anxiety- Window Scene Breaking the 4th wall or window.



This is simply the best scene in the movie.  I love that the camera is zooming in too fast and crashing through the window.  The characters look back in shock as the camera quietly backs out, embarrassed.  As someone was work stated, it is an actual fourth wall break.

The Karate Kid (2010) (Review Part 2 of 2)

Jackie Chan is probably the best thing about the movie. He brings the father figure character that Pat Morita played in the original. Chan’s Mr. Han is very similar to Mr. Kesuke Miyagi . They have similar “healing” techniques, and they’re both repairmen. (By the way, the technique in this movie is called fire cupping and it is very much real.) The writers in the remake do a better job giving the character a real reason for helping out the kid and teaching him how to fight. Like the original movie, Dre does have a touch moment where he sees Mr. Han upset and a little drunk. Dre becomes the teacher. It is probably the best scene in the movie. Oh, yeah, there is a Crane-kick type of move here that I won’t give away. Chan has two shining moments in the movie. One, when Chan fights off all the bullies that gang up on Dre. It is probably of the few classic Jackie Chan moments in the movie, because Chan really teaches Dre a more classic style of Kung fu than ...

About this Perez Hilton thing...

  Anyone who has read my blog back in the day is fully aware that I hate, no, loathe, Perez Hilton.  He was the large turd of the blog world.  He would draw these stupid things over famous people's photos, like penises and things even more childish. There being mean and rude, but the drawings really pissed me off.  He would attack all these celebrities, but refused to go after other famous people.  Hilton was a piece of shit.   I sort of lost interest in him, and he sort of faded away from my attention.  For many, he was a relic of the early 2000s, like me (yikes).    Better and nicer gossip vloggers and bloggers started to rise up and replace him.   Today, I actually feel sorry for him.  I am certain you have heard of his serve meltdown/sucide appemt.  He went live on TikTok, cut himself up, covered in blood, and threatened to self-delete himself.  I could only get through the first few seconds before turning it...

Threshold, Star Trek Voyager

http://www.agonybooth.com/extras/trek/threshold/default.asp?Page=1 Over at the Agony Booth , the great writers over there have finally tackled one of the worst episodes of Voyager, Threshold . Trust me, Voyager was all around a bad show, but this episode takes the Troi cake (with mint frosting). I've never seen a show with so much promise go down the torpedo tubes so fast. What was Brannon Braga thinking when he named his sci-fi show Threshold ? Here is what Albert Walker writes about it. ((Despite his regrets over "Threshold", after Enterprise was canceled Braga developed a sci-fi series for CBS about aliens rewriting people's DNA. And he called it... Threshold. Was he hoping the show would become such an outrageous success that it would completely overshadow the Voyager episode of the same name? If so, it backfired, because the show didn't make it past ten episodes. One can only wonder what next Brannon Braga failure will be worthy of the "Threshol...
