What The Hell Are You Doing?! [07 Nov 2010|12:47pm]
Why are you not listening to Podcast X?!?1
It's a great podcast where Trenchcoat Mafia, Vixen, Starhawk, Trekkie and myself review some of the worst comics ever published. Yet somehow they give new life and meaning to these comics.
I listen to it whenever I draw.
Be warned though, it is very crude, so it's not for pussies who are easily offended and NSFW.

Presently In A State Of Complete Boredom [08 Oct 2009|07:41pm]
I'm on a two week break from Tafe right now. The last few days of Tafe were very busy and then I was out almost everyday of last week, alot of firsts (but not that kind!).
I attended my first Dr.Sketchies, it got me drawing again after many weeks and I'll be sure to go there again.
I did my first hospital troop with the 501st, that was fun.
I finished my first costume commission.
I did my induction at Diva.
I bought a jetpack for my Mando costume and have been painting that.
I also recorded the next Halloween special for Podcast X.

And yet this week has been completely uneventful.
I'm unfortunatley the sort of person who get's bored easily. It reminds me of something Terry Pratchett's Death said in Hogfather. "HUMAN BEINGS MAKE LIFE SO INTERESTING. DO YOU KNOW, THAT IN A UNIVERSE SO FULL OF WONDERS, THEY HAVE MANAGED TO INVENT BOREDOM? "
That just makes me feel guilty about not using my time constructively.

But I've spent the past few days watching movies and the original Star Trek series, killing time on the Internet and excercising.

But it's when I get into this bored frame of mind that I think up the most unusual thoughts.
Like the other day I was watching TV and found myself trying to imagine what it would be like if I were not human and were seeing humans for the first time on this screen.
It was quite a bizarre experience and it made me realise that to other species we must seem very strange.

Other such random thoughts include:
Am I the only one who thinks the name Cheesymite is the most blindingly obvious and suitable choice for this Vegemite spinoff?
I believe they have re-renamed it Cheesybite. So the fuckers can't do anything right.

Also, it is well known that cyanide tastes like almonds. But how do we know if it kills you almost instantly?

Goddamn Twitter! [12 Sep 2009|02:09pm]
First of all I would like to say that I am suprised I have so many readers. Should I go a few weeks without updating I have people asking me for more.

Secondly I am getting real tired of those grotty "how to to lose weight" ads in the corner of every page of the Internet. There's probably one around here right now isn't there?

Although not as tired as I am with all this talk about Twitter. Everywhere I look there's links to someone's Twitter page, the news has reports on it, magazines and papers hailing as some kind of technological messiah. It's bigger than the Beatles!

But I can't for the life of me figure out why it's so popular.
I'm not big on the social networking scene. I really only have this "ancient" Livejournal account and my DeviantART.
Does Youtube count? I don't make videos, just watch them.

But these sites all serve their unique purposes.
DeviantART allows me to show the world my art and get feedback to grow as an artist.
My Livejournal serves to practice my abilities as a writer and record my teenage view of the world. As well as my dreams, which are a constant source of artistic inspiration.
If only they weren't so focused on popular culture.
I sometimes spend days contemplating an "article" and hours writing and editing it before it gets published for all to see.

I hope to write something entertaining as well as intelligent. Which is something you cannot possibley do in under 140 characters.
I have yet to see anything worth reading on Twitter.
I have no interest in the day to day lives of others. Even if they are celebrities.
Hell, fictional characters could get boring if I knew what they were doing at all times.
For example:
Darth Vader

Just sitting in my medidation chamber
12 minutes ago

I need to pee, it's a pain in the ass to get out of this suit
10 minutes ago

Maybe if I made a little window in my belt that opens when I need to go
9 minutes ago

I think blogging should be about sharing experiences, philosophies, news and ideas. Not simply about what you're doing right now this instant.
It's not interesting, I see no clear benefit from the existence of Twitter. It doesn't serve as anything more than Internet text messages. It doesn't even have any other features like most social networking sites provide.
And yet it really is a reflection of the short attention span of the modern world.
Twitter itself will be a five minute fad that will make us wonder why it was even worthy of an article in Time Magazine.

I'd rather read a well thought out page or two of writing once a week than a million Tweets a day. What about you?

I, Sci Fi [30 Aug 2009|08:13pm]
Lately I have had discussions with various people that have lead me to realise just how much of an influence science fiction has had over my life.
From the earliest age, it's almost the only genre I have read and watched.

Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, Dr.Who, Firefly, Alien, Predator. You name it, I've seen it and probably own the DVD and merchandise too.

Being one of the most intellectual genres, I am used to radical philosophies and theories.
I've always been an atheist and am open to new and different ideas.
Things such as space/time travel, the singularity, extraterrestrial life, genetic manipulation, androids and cybernetics are all common concepts to me.
Sci fi also creates interesting moral and philosophical ideas, questioning reality, society and the very basics of what we understand as our consciousness never cease to intrigue me.

Yet discussing this with my peers, either back in high school or at Tafe. It is instantly clear that none of them have any idea of what I am talking about. No wonder I never related to them.
The girls in my fashion design course obviously have never thought about anything beyond their own world or the next pair of shoes.
None of them had ever seen a sci-fi, nor did they really understand what that word meant.
To go through life never seeing Star Wars? I shudder at the thought.

And because of that, they all seem so ignorant. Oh to be so blissfully unaware.
I lay in bed at night and ponder all the problems of the world that have yet to be conquered. The ever growing population, expected to reach seven billion in the next two years. Our only planet, unable to cope with such large numbers.
The shifting balance between humanity and technology.
Among so many other things.
No wonder intelligent people are often depressed.

But I am glad that sci-fi stands to be the pioneer of ideas, to combat the ignorance of most aspects of modern culture.
I am glad to be a sci-fi geek.

Note To Self [12 Jul 2009|12:07pm]
When a little boy comes up to you and says "I am Spider-Man" whilst wearing a Spider-Man costume, do not reply with "We are Venom". He is hardcore for Spider-Man and will follow you around the store until his mother decides to leave.

Perth Supanova 2009 [05 Jul 2009|10:57pm]
Saturday morning. It's about 4:00. I haven't slept much that night. Like a child on Christmas day, I was too excited about what lay ahead.
To some it may just be a meet up for the freaks and geeks, but I don't think there's anywhere else in the world I would rather be. Last year was my first convention and ever since I've been looking forward to the next one.
6:30am, my mobile alarm informs me. I get up and start to put on my costume.
I am Asajj Ventress in the 501st, this is my second troop since Nexus Toy Fair and it turned out to be a big one. We raised over $1000 for charity. And that's what makes four months of work and $200 spent on the costume and two hours of make-up all worth it.

When I arrived I met up with the other troopers and we made our badass entrance into the building. The best part, other than being played in by the Imperial March, was that some of my old school friends saw me. They actually recognised me under the make-up and were impressed.

The rest of the day was spent trooping until my legs went numb, although I paced myself better than last year. And I brought food.

My brother was Rorschach, he got his badge signed by Dave Gibbons who's a very sweet guy. I told him that the 'Squid' chapter of Watchmen was some of the most haunting artwork I have ever seen and he also told me that Alan Moore is not as reclusive as is popularly believed. They live just a few blocks from each other.

I saw Greg Cipes, who voices Kevin Levin of Ben 10:Alien Force. Of course I didn't realise it at first because I just heard his voice and said to a friend quite loudly "that guy sounds familiar". I look up and he just says "...hi". I forgot to bring my Ben 10 poster for him to sign.

I didn't go to bed until midnight, I went over to John's house for his birthday and then spent awhile getting all the make-up off of my costume and washing the gel and glue out of my hair. Definitley going to improve that somehow. Maybe a white latex hood instead of a bald cap.

Sunday morning, legs still a little tired, but I felt alot better after seven unbroken hours of sleep.
That day I was the Helena Bertinelli Elseworld Batwoman, a costume I had worked on long before Asajj. Based off of an action figure of mine.
I was determined to show it off somewhere.
I got a lift to the convention centre with Alora. First we went to the airport to say goodbye to one of our friends, Samantha, who was moving to Melbourne. No I wasn't wearing the mask and I had a trenchcoat over the costume. Don't think airport security would have been too pleased otherwise.

We arrived at about 1:00, I was too late to register for the cosplay contest and my picture:

Hadn't won the drawing competition from the day before.
But I didn't mind, the picture that won was a nicely painted portait of Heath's Joker.
And at least some of the winners of the costume contest weren't anime characters like last year.
Not really into Japanese culture. White people can be entertaining too!

My costume was quite popular. Alot more recognisable than the day before, one little boy asked me if I was from Twilight. Grrr!
I had more people asking for photos as I walked around on Sunday. I got alot of attention from little girls, they were so cute! Two of them were Supergirl and Wonder Woman.

Karl Urban waved at me and I turned into a complete fangirl. I wanted to talk to him, but I didn't know what I would say and I was afraid I would make a fool of myself. Michael had to push me into the queque to talk to him.
He's so hot! But once I started talking to him I wasn't a complete wreck. The conversation went as follows:
Me- "Do you like Batman"
"Definitley and you"
"Nah, I just woke up this morning in this costume and thought I should best go to a convention."
He laughs "man, must be wild at your place"

It was good to know that he was already a fan of the franchises that he contributed to. He could talk the talk when it came to Star Trek and Lord of the Rings.

That pretty much sums up an awesome weekend. I was getting bored from a week of staying at home, needed some inspiration. And there's no better place to feel loved, people wanting to take my picture, everyone shares your interests and hugs all 'round, according to the "free hugs" signs people were wearing.

I didn't buy as much as last year, wasn't much variety (or maybe I just bought everything I wanted last year) and things were pretty damn expensive. I spent $60 on two hardcover graphic novels and then I got five Marvel 1602 comics for free because the guys from one of the stalls liked my costume so much and I let them take photos.Read more... )

Transformers 2: The Revenge of a Better Writer [29 Jun 2009|05:03pm]
Just saw Transformers 2 this weekend and boy was the cinema floor much more fascinating!
I actually had to look away a few times because there was just way too much happening on screen, not to mention those dizzying camera angles.
I feel bad that I made Michael Bay just a little richer.

But this is not a review, the Internet has way to many of those already.
Instead I'm going to re-write Transformers 2.
I wouldn't say I'm much of a writer, I'm more of a columnist.
But I can come up with concepts pretty easily.

So here are my ideas for a better Transformers movie:

Role call-

Autobots:
Optimus Prime (of course)
Bumblebee
Ironhide
Ratchet

New characters-
Wheeljack: One of my favourites as a kid, he will be the Corvette Stingray. He's kind of like Reed Richards, which makes for a more interesting character than Sideswipe.

Arcee: She will be one motorbike instead of three. That was just confusing.
It would be interesting to explore why there are now female Transformers.
Maybe it is a kind of mutation caused by the dwindling numbers of their race. Transformers as so advanced that they are capable of evolving much like an organic being.
Now that the Allspark is destroyed they must now find an alternative way of making more of themselves. No there won't be any Transformer babies! The females seen in this film are very early mutations.

Decepticons:
Starscream- His where-abouts are unknown at the beginning of the film. He's formed an alliance with Soundwave.

New characters:
Soundwave- Now in command of the Decepticons. I like the idea of him being a satellite.

Ravage- I'd redesign him to be a little more reminiscent of the original

Scorponok

Laserbeak- Would look like an alien helicopter with a subtle bird-like design.

Shockwave- Soundwave's second in command.


And played by any one other than that Isabelle Lucas is Alice, a Pretender who stalks Sam by pretending to be a co-ed of his. She adopts her Earth mode by duplicating the appearance of a theme park animatronic figure of Alice in Wonderland.
That's from some comic. I like her in concept but not in execution.

Devastator will be their ultimate weapon for the end of the movie, but I think he should be one of these:
http://www.swapmeetdave.com/Humor/Workshop/Trencher.htm


Plot:
Two years have passed since the last film. The Autobots have been working to rebuild Cybertron on Neptune's moon of Triton as it's core is made mostly of metal.
The few hundred remaining Transformers in the galaxy are currently living on this moon.
Our Autobot team spend their time between Earth and Triton.
On Earth they are search of Starscream and work with the military to eliminate the remaining Decepticon threats. Which is everything the Allspark brought to life in the first film. It is explained that the Allspark had been altered by Megatron to create only mindless violent robots.
The world is now aware of the Transformers, I mean there is no way the fight from that last film could be covered up!
It's causing alot of controversy, naturally.

Meanwhile Sam (played by anyone other than Shia) is going off to college, this plays out pretty much the same as the film with less marijuana and dog-humping.
When Sam touches the Strokes t-shirt he wore in the last film a remaining splinter of the Allspark becomes embedded in his hand.
This causes the information in the Allspark to "download" into his brain.

He learns of ancient Cybertronian knowledge that even the Transformers are not aware of.
Including their origin. The Allspark was once part of a much larger machine (Vector Sigma) designed to manufacture the Transformers. They were created by an ancient race 12 million years ago called the Quintesson.

Soundwave, who has been monitoring Earth is immediately aware of this small trace to alien energy.
He sends Alice to find out the source.
Once she finds out that it is coming from Sam she will disguise herself as Mikaela.

The Allspark has put alot of information very suddenly into Sam's mind. So naturally he can't cope with it all. He has episodes like in the film, but he only has about a week before it kills him.

He turns to Bumblebee for help, who calls in the rest of the Autobots.
They debate on what to do. Removing the splinter could damage it, losing all the valuable information which could be vital for the survival of their race. But on the other hand, if they don't remove it, Sam will die.

So for the time being they get to work on recording and translating everything Sam writes down.

Alice as Mikaela having seen all of this, reports to Soundwave who sends in the Decepticons after Sam.
Then the real Mikaela calls and Alice is discovered as a Pretender.
And it's only now after about forty minutes of establishing characters and what's up for stake that we get some good fight scenes.

It's more like a chase across the country as the Autobots fight the Decepticons to keep Sam safe. Along the way they meet up with the real Mikaela.

Having almost all been defeated, the Decepticons (Soundwave, Starscream and Shockwave) call in Devastator who kills Optimus Prime and captures Sam.
He is taken to Shockwave, who probes his mind and uploads all the information of the Allspark into himself. Meanwhile the Autobots are taking down Devastator. Afterwards they find and kill Shockwave but not before Wheeljack uploads the information into himself.
Sam is fine, a little shaken from the events of the day and the death of Optimus. But he no longer has any memory from the Allspark.

Wheeljack learns of a way to bring back Optimus Prime. By putting the remaining sliver of the Allspark into Optimus' Matrix (yeah we're working with the cartoon version of it) it should have enough energy to bring him back to life.
They go back to his body and do so, Optimus is more powerful than ever.
The Autobots then take on Starscream and Soundwave.

In conclusion, the universe is saved from the Decepticon threat for good. The Autobots will now go in search of the Quintesson, if they still exist.

I like to think I have achieved in an hour what Michael Bay and his writer's were incapable of doing over the course of months. With pay!

If you see any plot-holes or have any suggestions on what else I can change, just leave a comment.

Batman Says: You Can't Read In A Dream [07 Jun 2009|03:11pm]
There is an old episode of Batman the Animated Series called "Perchance to Dream" that alot of people seem to still be talking about to this day. Why? Because Batman was put into a dream world of the Mad Hatter's creation. But the way he figures this out is by realising that he can't read anything in his dream. According to him that's impossible to do.
I was reminded of it today while reading this article:
http://io9.com/5279494/6-characters-who-escaped-virtual-prisons-or-did-they

It got me wondering if this had ever been definitivley proven. From what I've found around the Internet, some people say they can read and write as easily as they do when awake. Then again, some people claim those magic eye tricks work too.

In our dreams and imagination we can do absolutley anything, there are no laws nor logic nor limitations. So there's nothing to stop us imagining that we are reading. But dreams usually aren't vivid enough to remember so small a detail as to what what actually on a page. Just the information that we got from it.

I have yet to have a dream that had any text at all. I'm just not boring enough I guess.
I've had dreams with ancient symbols on the walls but that's the closest I've gotten.

The Twisted Visions Collection: Issue 19 [06 Jun 2009|03:21pm]
Apparently I haven't done one of these in over a year!
I have had dreams but nothing that I could really recall or were worth mentioning.

As the weather becomes colder I seem to dream more, so here are a couple I have had recently.

Some mentioned here:
http://pyro-the-maniac.deviantart.com/art/Maniacal-Anatomical-124306875

Then there's this: I wake up in a cave, with Voldemort. Neither one of us know why we are there. We walk for what seems like ages and then I start to feel a breeze through one of the tunnels, we follow that until we start to see some light.
Just as we are about to leave the cave Shelob shows up and Voldemort kills her.
We climb out to the surface and it appears that we are in Scotland. We get to the city and I realise that I am not in my own universe but the Harry Potter one. I'm pretty upset with this because the only place that could be worse would be some anime universe.
Then I turn around and I see a blue police box. I go up and knock on the door all the while thinking "there's no way it could possibley be-". But sure enough The Doctor opens the door and asks me what I want.
And so he takes me home.

I don't know if this one was related or not but I come back to this universe and find Anakin and Padme wandering around trying to figure out how they got here or where here is. They were actually acting like real humans!

Then last night dreamt that I was in a medieval tavern and all the patrons were anthropomorphic animals.
This dream was then followed by this: Leather-face had kidnapped one of my friends. She rings me for help and I say I'm on my way. I get another one of my friends to drive up to the house to distract him while I sneak inside.
As I make my way across this field to the run down old building I see the decapitated corpses of two horses and I start to feel a little scared.
I am about to open the door when I hear the sound of a blast, that makes three headless horses. And then my symbiote is all like "we're fine, nothing can hurt us". Oh yeah apparently I'm Venom this whole time or something.
Then I hear someone behind me. Leather-face didn't go after the car. Or if he did, the driver is dead.
He brings a blade up to my neck and then I wake up.

Enough With The Remakes Already! [05 Jun 2009|05:51pm]
While going through a couple of movie news sites I had a hard time finding any upcoming movies that weren't sequels, adaptations or remakes. What bugs me most is the remakes of films that aren't even that old. Like Scream for instance, what was wrong with the original?
I can understand remaking an old movie so that you can gain the interest of a whole new generation.
Or a complete re-imagining like what Tin Man or Wicked did with Wizard of Oz. It's fun watching familiar characters being cleverly re-invented.
Actually that's pretty much all Disney has ever done.

So I'm not against entirely remakes/adaptations.
But I think the world could have gone without the films based on Alan Moore's work.
Watchmen was entertaining, but not brilliant.
And G.I Joe? Bleh, I could do better. The cartoon, Resolute however is kick ass. Keep G.I Joe a cartoon I guess.

As for sequels. If the franchise has run it's course, it's sad seeing studios beating a dead horse. A once great horse.
Terminator 4, who asked for that?
Wolverine, weren't all of the X-Men movies about him?
Spider-Man 4, let it go, they weren't ever that good to begin with. Oh science, what did they do to my Venom?!

But there are some I look forward to. Transformers and Iron Man 2, the first were alot of fun, enjoyable and had great visual effects.
Deadpool, from what I've heard at this early stage sounds promising. Ryan Reynolds is a comic fan and knows the character well, I've heard interviews. He speaks geek!
And it sounds like he really wants to keep this faithful to the comics. So he's writing it now too?

Looking back at cinema ten years ago, you would never see a spin-off of a spin-off of a spin-off. Or see so many sequels at once. And remakes were generally of things that were originally made 20+ years ago.

If cinema really is so fan influenced, why are there so many mistakes made?

In a perfect world, I would love Hollywood to be run by artists, not business men. And more original concepts rather than the same old story again and again.
Art for the sake of art, complete abandon of the traditional formulas.

Some of the greatest movies ever made were the ones that dared to do something completely unique.

The Soundtrack For The Internet [23 May 2009|09:05pm]
If the Internet had a soundtrack, what would it have in it?
Post your ideas in the comments, I think songs that were made famous by or originated from the Internet would be best.
Here's my list:

Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up
Of course!

Running In the 90's

Have been watching that lately. Everyone has longer hair in this season. Have come to conclusion that guys look better with short hair.
Especially hate the emo hair cut.

Star Trek XI- The One That Wasn't Embarrassingly Nerdy [16 May 2009|06:30pm]
Just came back from seeing Star Trek today. It was better than what Star Trek usually is.
I'm a casual fan of the series. I've watched a few of the movies and some episodes of the original and Next Generation series.
This one fits nicely with the rest of the franchise while being something new and different.
Star Trek is usually bad dialogue, stiff acting all round cheesiness.
While this movie is as a Hollywood film should be. Awesome special effects, interesting plot plot, attractive actors (Spock was hot!), but it was paced alot better than most films now days.
Other films try hard to fit too much into one film. Where as this one moved at a more Western-like pace.

I think the only thing I didn't like was Neero, he seemed like he was taken from the old series. A villain that's more cheesy than threatening. He didn't seem like a fully realised character either. He kept changing accent and mannerism.

That said, it was thoroughly enjoyable, even if this is your first introduction to the franchise.

Greater Union, the cinema I go to, has recently introduced this stupid idea of allocated seating.
I never bother, I will just go sit where ever. Who can be bothered to go searching around in the dark when there are always plenty of free seats?
And most people are the same.

But today, I happened to sit where this woman and her boyfriend REALLY wanted to sit. She had a total bitch-fit about it.
When they first approached us the woman asked why we were there. I politley explained that no one follows those rules and that there were plenty of other seats available.
"But, but we booked those seats" she complained like the pathetic waste of oxygen that she was.
I again indicated to the whole row behind me that was free and remained so through-out the entire film.
So the woman goes off to get managment to kick us out of out seats. While her boyfriend just sits right behind us. Well at least he had the right idea.

The manager comes in and shines a torch in our eyes like we were bein interogated. At this point I couldn't be bothered to argue anymore, the film had started.
So I say "fuck you" to the the woman and give her the finger. I then sit right behind her and proceed to kick the crap out of her seat during the entire film. And she just took it, stubborn bitch.
It's no wonder I'm a misogynist. That's right, I'm a girl and I can't stand my own kind.

Also there was this old retarded guy with his care-taker sitting a few rows behind us that kept talking and laughing loudly at nothing. And he went to the bathroom about six times. Each journey took about five minutes just handling the stairs.
And then he would tell his care taker off for getting up and assisting him. Also he had a tiny t-rex arm. Just thought I mention that.

This journal entry got really unsophistated fast.
Which is ironic considering I have been told of for talking like Spock.

What Is It With Marvel Films And Big Scary Needles?! [02 May 2009|07:54pm]
Just got back from seeing Huge Jackman and Some Mutants AKA Wolverine. And had there not been so much eye candy I would say that this is the worst piece of shit I have ever seen. Then I remembered Spider-Man 3.

It was okay up until The Blob showed up then things got real weird. Like Japanese kind of cheesy. I could even excuse the presence of the Black Eyed Pea's Will.I.Am up until that point.

Oh and they deformed Deadpool. I love him and what did they do? They sealed his mouth closed like in the Matrix, removed his eyelids and made fucking katanas come out of his hands. Plus he was being controlled like a robot by Stryker.

Marvel produced this without Fox. Like Iron Man.
Now how do they go from something so fun to something so weird?
It felt like watching an Ultimate comic.

The director played Anubis in Stargate and he directed Rendition. That's his most notable work, infact that most of his work.

So it's an alright popcorn flick and probably more enjoyable if you don't follow the comics.
Although my friend that went with me doesn't and didn't like it any more than I did.

6.5 Billion People In The World And Not One Of Them Has Anything To Say [01 May 2009|10:23am]
It's seems I give people the impression that I have no life.
I assure you that this is not so.
Although I am always working on costumes, dolls, paintings or drawings. I still find time to watch TV, kill time on the Internet, make podcasts, play Playstation, read books, take my dogs for walks, get my chores and homework done and go out socially a few times a week.
AND I still find time to get bored.

So what's everyone else doing?
Maybe I just have alot of inspiration, imagination and energy.

Rorschach and Batgirl [27 Mar 2009|02:33pm]
Supanova convention is coming in a few months, I'm going as Batgirl and my brother is to be Rorschach. They have a costume contest which means you can perform a skit and I have absolutley no ideas.
The two characters don't have alot in common. I was thinking maybe Rorschach has some depressing monologue and I come along and try to cheer him up but he just ends up breaking my fingers.

I Am Not The Stig [13 Feb 2009|01:55pm]
Just got my L's and drove around the neighbourhood for the first time.
My mum was freaking out and was all like "COURTNEY THERE'S A FUCKING CURB. STAY ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD. DON'T SPEED UP AT THE CHICANE. DON'T RUN OVER OLD PEOPLE AND WOMEN WITH PRAMS!"

So unfair, it's my first time and she expects me to get it right away.
