Random Muses: Outside/Inside, Movies

First of all, I would like to point out I have no effing idea what "muse" means. I get my logic was this:

Random post -> is amusing -> museing -> muse -> muses

I feel the more time an individual spend indoors, the less natural he becomes. Imagine the very first day of man: nothing but "outside" existed, there was no "inside". Over time, we have become a society that spends more and more time inside. We talk less, walk less, sun less, see less, and think less.

I will try to make a conscious effort of spending more time outside. Some days I spend no more than 20 minutes outside (walking from class to class), this is very troublesome.

Can you see the difference?



I attribute these "new" outlooks on life to this blog. Really this has been a magical thing really. Now, that my eyes are open, I must take initiative to do what I preach. What that in mind, lets go indoors to movie watching.

The second part of my post: movies. Now, I am an optimistic movie watcher, so I usually like movies, regardless if they are bad. This however does not mean I will say "this is a classic". I have a keen eye, and just because I like a movie doesn't mean I think it is a good.

I watched a few movies that I torrented. BTW if you enjoy illegal dvd rips, I highly suggest aXXo's torrent site (found here); the quality is always superb, never a crappy file. I watched Tenacious D, Alpha Dog, and Night at the Museum.



TD and the POD was alright; I don't like Jack Black, but he had some original moments in the movie. I especially liked the sound track - some sweet heavy metal. Overall, I'd say it is... fresh. I would like to watch it high. This would be an awesome movie to watch after a nice bowl of greens and a few beers.

Alpha Dog was great; I really enjoyed Justin Timberlake in this one, he really looked like a regular 20 year old. The rest of the acting sucked, however the plot, as well as the atmosphere of the movie, made up for it. I'd say if you haven't seen it you should defiantly watch it.

Night at the Museum; this is a good kids movie. It is not so good for adults. The concept is great, but the material was a little thin. There were some funny moments, that I enjoyed; mainly because they were fluffy and happy, not because the joke was good/smart. Like a typical fantasy, "huh, sweet, this is cool, I like it". In retrospect, this movie really sucked ass. Key note; Mickey Roony as well as Ricky Gervais = pure brilliancy.
