As it turns out life is complicated and messy and gritty and dirty. Call it simple or easy if you want, but you're lying to yourself to feel better. It's hard growing up in today's world, it's hard having friends who betray you or families that are hard to like. We all need those everlasting friends and those moments of clarity where we see our lives flash before us, and those times to be completely carefree. As we crash through the jungle of this life, we all steal a few hearts and break a few bones. But hey. That's life right?

Star Wars vs. LOTR (or Jar Jar vs. Gollum)

Okay, it's time to talk about movies. actually, my favorite movies. let's start with Lord of the Rings, the trilogy. Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but the LOTR trilogy has the most sophisticated state of the art special effects. When Star Wars first came out in the 80's, Lucas and Spielburg were hailed as the fathers of modern special effects. Though this is still true, as in they practically invented it, Peter Jackson is the guy who is, or already has, revolutionized modern special effects. Take Gollum for example, Lucas tried his best with Jar Jar Binks, but his incredibly annoying frog thing who talks weird and is otherwise known as Jar Jar Binks was ridiculed and laughed off the screen (Luckily for us, he only shows up once in Ep. III, and has one line that goes easily unnoticed). Whereas Gollum is a totally C.G. (computer Generated) character who has real facial expression, and actually acts. Gollum expresses disgust, anger, sadness...he plays both parts of pathetic, pitiful Smeagoll writhing on the ground and Gollum, bent on having his revenge and the Ring. "Let's give Jar Jar a fighting chance!" you say? Jar Jar had his chance, he was in Ep I and Ep. II, and to put it bluntly, he failed miserably. He's an idiot (i'm sorry if anyone's offended by that) who gets kicked out of his underwater world, comes back, gets made a general, gets a battledroid stuck on his foot and accidently kills a bunch of battle droids, gets made a senator, and then Sen. Padme ask Jar Jar to take her place and vote against a droid army. What does Jar Jar do? He does the opposite!!! He votes for the droid army!!! AAAAAAAAA!!!! I think I'm about to die from a stupidity overdose. Have I got my point across yet? No? Well let me spell it out for you plain and simple- I really don't like Jar Jar Binks and Gollum Rocks! Whew, I'm out of breath. Lemme catch my breath and I'll be back,
Your favorite blogger who hates Jar Jar and loves Gollum for being his opposite,
