Movie life lessons inspiration



The other night when i was talking with some friends about movies i remembered Jim Carrey's "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind" and all these feelings i had hidden came rushing out.For a reason the message it delivered stay with me so i started to think how movies affects us in our way of thinking.
So let's see what they can teach us:

"Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind":I have a long time relationship and some times you may get tired or even angry and want a life without the other person.Watching this movie made me thought about the important things you have in a relationship and that they can overcome they difficulties that may naturally occur.


"Click":I know it's kinda of a stretch and an exaggeration of the classic "Work vs family" but makes you think what's the most important thing for you and what you are willing to sacrifice for it.And in the end what it rewards are most valuable to you?


"Thirteen":Relatively unknown movie and kinda too blunt but it made a point too.The classic story"good girl gets influenced by a bad person"in this case a girl and finally becomes "cool".Sometimes you see things that you want to be without knowing what they really are.And trying to become something you are not you stop appreciating the things you have with things you can easily obtain and lose.


"Rocky":There are times that you must prove yourself even when the odds are not in your favor.Even just to prove a point and go down fighting and as the "Italian Stallion" says:it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward...
Rocky's motivational speech

See?!You can find inspiration everywhere if you want to!

Facebook Personalities



Today i'm bitter and bored so i'll try to blend in with a Facebook personalities issue.

The stalker:Legend says that no one has ever seen him/her online, but he watches everything.If you run into him at the street he will comment about that picture you took 4 years ago and thought it was funny and you will like "whaaat?!"
Note:Some are going to avoid conversation so they won't be revealed.

The FB celebrity:Most likely girls,have about 2 million friends in 20 different profiles and still cannot manage to get 20 likes on a status.She has confused twitter with Facebook so she continue adding and then complains if someone she don't know annoys her.
Note:Misinterpreted as the "Attention-whore"

Attention-Whore:Classic case.Every picture-comment-status has a purpose.Likes.She will provoke everyone by saying how ugly she is in a foto with 42 filters on,perfect lighting and full on camouflage make-up so that she will be pretty enough for a like.Also complains that everyone calls a whore even though half of her pictures shows her half naked.

The internet "pirate" perspective



"You wouldn't steal a car"
"You wouldn't steal a bag"

No!Of course i wouldn't,but if i found a way to have the same car without removing it from the owner most likely i would "steal".

There are so many great movies coming out that you cannot decide what to download right?
Wrong!

You prefer to watch enjoyable movies with friends out and have a night of it.But you will download mediocre or bad movies you probably wouldn't go out to see.That's the punishment for not trying enough and not respecting the viewers by producing garbage.They stop respecting you back.

Companies already try to shut down pages like "the pirate bay" for profit reasons and failed miserably.

Nerd rage!

Lately the word"nerd" is used pretty loosely and if the girl above is one then i'm a model and i demand GQ to offer me a photo-shoot.

But we must not complain, something that was ridiculed for a decade has gained a place in everything,even fashion.
Suddenly "gamers" pop up without shame, people like wearing big glasses and being a nerd either means being hipster or sophisticated.There are also few who doesn't respect the "nerd" title and want just the appearance,let's see some signs that betray them:

"I'm such a nerd!":
Just for pointing that out means that who are just faking it.Have you ever see a minimalist say out-loud "minimalism is my thing"? I thought so...
So just pipe down stay in your corner playing angry with your new I phone because probably you are just a hipster boy try to get laid with daddy's wallet or a girl try to cover dumbness with "nerd sophistication"

Harlem Shake?! In Athens?!


Let's try it before it goes "Gangam style"!!

Almost every country,every school,every college have it's own "official Harlem Shake"

And for me it's good,it's fun and for the most part not harming and you get the opportunity to gather your friends to do your own.

As the video below describes the song "Harlem shake" came from creator Baauer almost a year ago and until January and February of 2013 has become increasingly viral.What started as a funny video ended up being an internet fashion-sensation.Let's see the story:

(Rhett and Link)


So to take it a step further Greece has started a Facebook event which has resulted in a 2000 plus people panic!Let's observe

Even though this trend gain negative comments very rapidly, most people may say that it is a nice way let some steam off in a positive manner. And i totally agree...
Will it be like planking,milking or whatever else?only time will show

Movie apocalypse

We may have avoided the apocalypse,but a movie apocalypse has happened and things look better already..

 "Argo","Django",James Bond anniversary movie and these are only a few viewing experiences that made an impact.It seems Movie industry have made a turn for the best and for creating movie worth watching?!Even directors are getting better with a major comeback from Ben Affleck and his career resurrected.

For a very long time i used to hate to go for a weekend movie and unfortunately that was mostly due to the overly-used and recycled movies.

At a certain point the movies were so predictable that there was no point watching them because they were the same movies with different actors.You knew who would live and who would die....
(we love you Sean Bean)

Valentine's day 2013 special Rant


Ahh Valentine's day!The day that everyone wants to have a relationship but only for the good parts and also not get into one because sunny days are coming and we need to be single for the perfect opportunity.
Others hate it, others love it.Depending how's your relationship going.But one thing is for sure: you are going to spend a lot of money you don't have to buy things you don't like to impress people you may not like later(fight club reference).

So,let's do this!
Love songs:
Every major record company must have a song ready for Valentine's day from every major artist it owns!And they will promote them until our ears bleed!

Movies:
Yes!that's what i need! another movie to remind me of how lonely i am or to be dragged by my girlfriend..and please cast more stars so that it will become more enjoyable!
(thank you Die Hard and Bruce Willis keep up the good work)

Facebook status/Social Media:
It's Valentine's?No shit Sherlock!
Yes i know you love your boyfriend/girlfriend
Yes i know you hate women this day
Here i just saved you a day reading Facebook status!

Gifts:
Prepare your wallet!It's going to get raped!No you don't have to do it..It's either you or your wallet.

Sex:
Now we are talking!It's the perfect opportunity for you and your other half to get freaky.Spending your money on sexy lingerie is never a waste.
But if you waited till this day to have sex better starting thinking options...

The night out:
Find the expensive restaurant she likes,eat together,enjoy yourselves,order the chocolate cake,get the check,pay it,cry on the inside,follow step Sex for retribution


So that's it, a mini rant for a special day,also a bonus
Advice:
Be with the person you enjoy spending you time with the most,if you don't have go out there and find him.Go somewhere you both like and can afford.Make gifts that matter for their essence, not wallet value.Make this day about you,not some Valentine.

Extra Bonus:Valentine's day history
