I should've seen the sign


I will never watch movies recommended by random people

Do you know how it feels like when you're the only one who hasn't seen a supposedly awesome mind blowing movie? Everyone, and I mean literally EVERYONE in college cannot stop themselves from babbling about how much they enjoyed Pitch Perfect. If you don't mind the random outbursts of singing in the hallways, you could survive. I didn't. I decided to give this movie a shot, since the people with  opinions I respect told me to watch. Make no mistake because I won't make that mistake again. Pitch Perfect was 'awesome. . .ly terrible'.

It began innocently enough, I actually liked the song in the beginning. Suddenly, it became the biggest mash up of every single cliche EVER.

I absolutely felt DISAPPOINTED. The movie was oversold to me. I had high expectations, since I do enjoy anything with singing involved. I cringed at the sum of the movie, and I just couldn't help myself from posting MY OPINION on such a barely average movie.

It has the typical loner girl who doesn't want to try new things but then she gets involved with a group and she has friends. OH YAY! Finally, the movie follows the most cliched storyline imaginable. Girl has trouble in college. Girl meets boy who befriends her. Girl joins team of last years shame. Girl pushes away boy away because of her past and her daddy issues. Girl forced off team. Girl "learns lesson" and wins boy back and helps team of has-beens win championship. Yay, CLICHE!

"Beca" (THE MAIN CHARACTER) is nothing but a selfish brat who spends most of her time sulking in her room with her terrible roommate. Did I mention she just happened to have daddy issues too? WELL, Daddy forced her to go to college instead of chasing her dream in LA. This is the ultimate set up for character development right?! PUHHLEASE. She just suddenly turns into this perfect social and moral butterfly, after a mere apology. Being kicked off in the girls acapella team suddenly made the group even worse? She hasn't even contributed anything promising, and yet the girls in the group are suddenly too dependent on her.


"Jesse" is the most UNBELIEVABLE character ever imagined. He's the sweetest guy ever and doesn't even have a girlfriend. The terrible cliched love interest that every girl would come to love.This boy prances throughout the movie being sweet to everybody, expressing is obvious care to anyone from his nerdy roommate to his 'moody and push everyone away' love interest. He pursues Beca for no particular reason but her apparent moodiness. This guy is truly one dimensional and I, EVEN as a girl, feel no cheesy feelings for him. Gosh. So you're thinking, 'WOW, Fran likes all things cheesy but she doesn't like this cheesy guy?'. Well. This is rotten cheese.

Every other character can be summarized into adjectives. 'The narrow minded leader' 'Sex-addicted groupie' 'The touchy lesbian' 'Insane Asian girl'. Actually, now that I think about it. . It's pretty discriminatory. The movie directly insults, Asian people (unfriendly Kimmy and quiet asian), Jewish people (Deaf Jews), redheads (Nodes) , and probably more that I fail to recall at the moment. Not to mention several distasteful jokes like the one about eating another baby in the womb. Seriously, JUST STOP.


It's humor is so painful.Fat Amy is funny, the only funny I got from the movie. All else falls flat. She still cannot save the movie. The most achingly obvious example is the climax, little Beca's return to save them all. Seriously, was that girl doing vomit-angels supposed to funny? GROSS. DISTASTEFUL X INFINITY.


But, then again, the performances were entertaining. It would've been better if they just cut off the movie into 30 minutes, with nothing but their performances. I would've enjoyed it far more better.

Also, for a PG-13 flick aimed at mostly female tweens.
But, like, that's just my opinion. If you like lame things like Glee or cliched movies, then you will probably love this movie. If you're just wasting time, you would enjoy this. If you're into great life changing movies, just don't watch.


ACA-LAME
THE MEDIOCRITY OF THIS MOVIE IS ASTOUNDING
THE BARELY-AVERAGE-NESS IS STRONG IN THIS ONE

Boxing Drama

I am not into boxing. Er. Well, maybe I am a little. I just like it when they are really beating each other into a pulp part. It gives me adrenaline, and I can't help but punch the air along. I blame the fact that I am constantly with male companions. Anyways, that's not my point. Today is Pacquiao-Marquez 4 (and my lovely tita's birthday!). I watched the previous three fights, and I've got to say that it's always pretty close. Pacquiao barely won two out of three. This time, the fourth time, Marquez got his game on. Serious stuff happening in that ring. Oh! Funny thing. Mexico's singer for the National Anthem had no voice. She was barely making out the words. It was pretty fun to listen to her as she tries to reach the high notes. Back to the topic! The fight started pretty good. The two of them were not letting the other land a punch. It's always a hit for a hit. It was amazing, because it didn't have many dull moments (My fault for watching cow

Last post for the night

11. Another picture of you and your friends I will skip post 11 because it's basically the same with the previous post ( making up lost time ). I don't have any other pictures and I don't feel like uploading the older ones. 12 . How you found out about Blogger and why you made one So, I found out about blogger from my friend Penda . She kept talking about blog posts, and I couldn't quite understand what she was talking about. In the end, I checked her blog after a few more conversations about the blog. There was just no making sense until I saw it for myself. It was interesting, but not that interesting to get me started. I already had a google account by then, so it was easy for me to keep track. I started  blogging  because everyone that mattered was doing it. I wanted to be able to follow their posts easily, without having to be the anonymous  comment-er . Basically, that's it. I have no intention of profiting from the internet since my posts ar

Fourty-two

@ Doshia's 17th Birthday Love doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be true. Okay. That might not be the best picture for us, but I recently realized that we don't have many pictures together. It might be because I don't like having my picture taken, and he doesn't too. I guess it's something we can agree on. Now, fourty-two months is quite a long time for any couple in a relationship. If I recall, I was just about fifteen then. He was about sixteen or so. We were young, just two kids in love who didn't know how demanding a committed relationship was. We didn't care then, so we had to learn the hard way. In those years we've been together, there were too many ups and downs in our relationships. The rush of reality was so overwhelming. Lies, insecurities, jealousy and even the point of obsession were thrown at us far too many times. It seemed like an endless battle, but I knew deep down. . It was all going to be fine. I just hadn't re
