This week I will be talking about what could possibly be the greatest movie ever made ever in history. The title of this movie is Lucky Number Slevin. I have had the privlage of watching this movie a total of 7 times (compared to I am legend which is 4 and Riddick which is 3). This is the sort of movie with a very confusing and seemingly irrelivent beginning. It begins with Bruce Willis (Later revealed as the character Good Cat) in an almost empty airport sitting next to a man whos name is ungiven. Bruce Willis is in a wheelchair and it is appearant that the two men do not know each other. Bruce Willis begins the story by telling the man about something called a Kansas city shuffle. I won't give too many details because its like the greatest monologue/set of scenes ever (besides the ending). Anyway, it involves a man named Sam who heard through stream of ears and mouths about a fixed horse race. He puts way to much money down on it, the horse trips, yada yada yada, crime lords kill his whole family. Upon hearing this, the unnamed man says "Fuck, Shit Jesus" and Bruce Willis responds "Fuck Shit Jesus is right." The man then says "so that is a Kansas city shuffle?" and Bruce Willis says "No, that's just the insiding story, This is a kansas city shuffle" he then points out the window and says an amazing line which I wont ruin for anybody and tricks the guy, sneakes behind him, and breaks his neck. I won't reveal anymore of the plot except the main character gets totaly stuck between debts to two rival crime lords that hate each other with one demanding payment and the other that he kill the first's son as payment. Beyond that, somehow Bruce Willis' character is connected to it all. I seriously recomend this to anybody, at anytime, anywhere. Thanks, for reading.

The Chronicles of Riddik

This week I'm summarizing The Chronicles of Riddick. To put it plainley this movie is BA. It has Vin Diesel in it which (with the exception of a few family movies) means your in for a good show. This movie is the sequel to another movie called Pitch Black which is another amazing film. However, it has little importance to the chronicles so I will skip summarizing that. Anyway, the movie starts with Riddick running through a snowy planet with a beard, (he ususaly has a shaved head) and is being chased by bounty hunters. After leading them into a dark narrow cavern, sneaking and elimenating them all, he steals their ship and heads to a planet called helion prim to find his old friend Imam who had placed a bounty of 1.5 million on Riddick's head. However the planet had become the next target of the a race of people called Necromongers. Imam says that he placed the bounty on Riddick to get him to come back because a girl named Kira who had looked up to him and relied on him had gone looking for him a few years earlier. Ok, now last week I went through the entierety of I am Legend. However, from now on I plan to only go through the beginning so as not to spoil the story for anybody. That's all for this week thanks for reading.

I am so Legend

Ok, so I was planning on doing my first quarter blog on the office but, they have started to backtrack and I've already seen most of the episodes they are playing. In light of these events I will this week instead be writing about one of the greatest movies ever made, I am Legend. This movie stars Will Smith so you know its good to begin with. The story is about Will playing a character named robert nevil living by himself in New York City. He is living there because he is a scientist trying to find a cure for an epidemic. The epidemic started when a women scientist created essetialy, a cure for cancer. However, tehy were using a modified version of the measels to cure it and the virus backfired and people turned into zombie esque freaks. He, Robert Nevel, is one of the few people who are imune to the virus and his blood is the source for the cure. He spends over 100 days there with no human contact until finaly, when his dog is biten and transmited the virus, and Robet has to hold him and inject the non-finished version of the antidote which ends up not working and Robert must strangle his own dog before it turns on him. Later on a woman and a boy hear his radio transmission that he broadcasts every day and come to try and contact him. They find him near death because he had gone mad over the death of his dog, and gone on a mad rampage in his car killing many of the infected. The infected, however, were too numerus and were overtaking Nevel and just when his doom seemed iminent, The woman and her son came with a huge florecent light which killed most of the infected people on Robert's car and scared off the rest. They fled but, they werent safe for long because the infected had followed them home before daybreak had come. Robert had earlier goten a specimen of the infected to try one of his antidotes that had worked on his rat test subjects and it had seamed it haden't worked. But, the next night when the infected came to destroy Robert, they went to his basement lab as their last place to hide. Once down there they realized that the antidote had worked. Robert then also realized that the only reason the infected people were after them is because the female subject he had obtained was the leaders wife. He then decides the only way to save the world is to have the woman and child hide in this little bomb proof hole with a sample of the girls blood which contained the antidote. He then took a hand grenade and launched himself into the huge crowd of infect people saving his two companions and the world at the sacrafice of his own life.

Blog Expectations

My name is Tristan. This is my super cool blog, which I will pesonalize and make my own (but not post pics of myself on or use my last name on). I will always use appropriate language on my school blog abd fikkiw tge conventions of the English language.

The excpectation for this assignment is that I post on my blog once a week for the remainder of the school year. I am expected to comment on text that I am viewing in the world around me. These might include, but are not limited to: books, magazines, movies, intenet articles, television shows, trips to museums, etc.

Each post should be at least 200 words. Each weekly post is due by 8am on that wednsday. Therfore, Q1 due dates are: 9/17, 9/24, 10/1, 10/8, 10/22, and 10/29. That makes for a total of 7 posts this first quarter. I understand that blogs are worth 100 points per quarter and are graded holistically (I will recieve the rubric from Mrs. B soon). I also understand that blogging is a significant component of my quarter grade. By the way, what I have just typed is only 196 words! now it is 200!
