Everything&Nothing: A Collection of Thoughts

I've been playing Call of Duty for a long time and I love the franchise, but I've got to say that Modern Warfare 3 has been a disappointment.  I was really hyped that they were going to continue the story from the original story line, so I preordered the game. That's how hyped I was. I don't often pre-order games because I like to wait to see what people say about it before I spend the money.  For those unaware, if you pre-ordered the game you would get early access to the multiplayer and campaign. The multiplayer beta was just for a weekend, however, early access to the campaign would go until the full release of the game starting November 9th.  The multiplayer was fun and I didn't have too many complaints about it. It felt reminiscent of the early game, especially because they brought back some of our favorite maps. I'm not going to say that loved the map Rust, but it does bring back memories.  My friends and I played as much as we were able to. It was a lot o...

Art Imitates life and not the other way 'round. People Create art from what we know of the world.  Art isn't showing us something we haven't already seen. Stories can't be written about things never experienced or learned.  Heroes chasing monsters; People falling in love Starry Night or the Mona Lisa. It's all based on what the known universe has already shown us. Strip away the aesthetics of a hero and what's left?  The concept of morality, justice, right and wrong. Strip away the aesthetics of a monster and what's left?  The concept of immorality, injustice, hate, fear, and darkness. All things found within the human condition. 12 different films are based on a real man that perpetrated heinous acts of violence. Ed Gein, for all intents and purposes, was a monster. Photos of war, paintings of flowers, and sculptures of the male and female form all imitate life. Life doesn't imitate are, no, it's the other way 'round.

I heard they were making another Terrifier movie and to be honest, I was very shocked. I had no idea people actually liked those movies enough for there to be enough buzz calling for a 3rd installment.  If you haven't seen them movies you're not missing out on anything unless you enjoy senseless gore and plots that make no sense. I'm all for a good cheesy scary movie, but the Terrifier movies just didn't do it for me. For anyone unaware of Art the Clown and the Terrifier movies, Art the clown made his first appearance in a short film called The 9th Circle. This short film was inspired by Dante's Inferno. Directed by Damien Leone, this adaption followed an innocent girl being caught off guard and knocked out by Art the clown to awaken in a hellish place to become a sacrifice for Satan. Five years after this short film was produced, All Hallows' Eve was released. This would be the second appearance of Art the Clown. All Hallows' Eve follows the story of a baby...
