Sorry Twilighters, Harry Potter still rocks. Boy am I looking forward to Half-Blood Prince.

Not really sure if you would consider this a spoiler or not, don’t think I’m really going to get into the needy greedy. Then again I may. This entry is so late because I got deeply involved with the newspaper and am proud to say that it is coming along nicely. Also, for those who have voted on teenink for me, thanks, planning on submitting part 2 before I turn 19.

Anywho, the Dark Knight is the best hero movie this summer. There’s nothing else to really say.  It comes in at first place within my books, beating my viewing of Prince Caspian and the Spiderwick Chronicles. When me and my friends arrived at the theater last Tuesday (it was 6.00 discount) we weren’t expecting the line for tickets to stretch out the theater though we did expect the consession stan to be a mess. I nearly fell down while trying to find four seats…

Yeah, as in some movie theaters there were talkers but once Batman started playing and you got entangled in all of the twists and turns you quickly became silent. Commissioner Gordon made a triumphant return, Two-Face made an unexpected appearance, and the Joker was just a pure nut case…which was excellent.

There wasn’t a lot of fighting, but the Dark Knight didn’t need it, why? The movie made you think. How far can you go before you start or the people you are trying to protect see you as a villian? How far will you go to apprehend the Joker when he has killed so many in the past few hours, days, or just recently your daughter? (the killing joke) If there are two boats floating in the river with one being filled with good natured outstanding citizens and the other with ruthless criminals and you can save yourself by blowing the other ship up, would you do it?

There are so many things I like about this movie that it is worth the hype going to see it this summer, way better than Hellboy which I also saw. Hellboy was just good, a bit boring, a bit funny, and a bit predictable.

Batman:The Kiling Joke is an alright comic, I liked it and next to The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller its one of the best Batman comics I’ve read. If you were to read this comic right after seeing the Dark Knight it would fit perfectly. The Joker pulls off his most dangerous off all jokes, he cripples Barbara Gordon and humiliates her father. The ending, however, is a joke.

 I was talking to a co-worker of mine this past Saturday about it, he believes and I do also that Philadelphia is the real Gotham City. Give you any ideas about what my next story is going to be about after I finish the book series? Funny enough this one is already at the library of Congress, have to check on it.

This is going to be somewhat of a long post. So if you don’t have anything too important to do, then sit back, relax, and enjoy what I have to say.

First off, I did go see Hancock Saturday and it was funny and it had action in it. I could have wrote about it when I returned home but because of my rather weak wireless connection I can only do so much. Now if you are planning on going to see the movie then skip a few lines and move on to my Outstanding Parenting saga. I will not ruin the whole plot for you because you probably can figure it out for yourself by watching the trailer and previews, I’ll just mention some things about thats all.

In the begining of the movie Hancock is a jerk and a complete ass-hole which just so happens to be his least favorite thing to be called. He drinks, curses, destroys, and saves a lot of people in the process in his own special way. There is one part in the movie which iis very funny, something you would picture a guy like Hancock saying. After saving Ray (the guy who helps Hancock’s image) from the train a group of angry citizen surround him, one angry fat guy says something about sueing Hancock where Hancock replies, “Well you need to sue McDonalds because they f— you up.” Inappropriate and rude yes, but funny.

Then there’s the part of how Hancock is in jail and everyone he put there surrounds him. He kindly asks the guy who’s in front of him to move out of the way, however, he doesn’t. Hancock then does what he threatened to do a few minutes before shoves one guy head into another guys behing. Again, inappropriate, but funny.

There is a supposed twist in the movie, I really don’t consider it a twist because you can tell from certain looks. There is another super powered being in Hancock’s city that he knew nothing about. Its so obvious who it is and again you may already know from the trailer and previews. So in conclusion, yes Hancock may have wanted to change good a bit too quickly, yes there is a lot of cursing, yes it is funny, but I think its a good movie that deserves a A or B, not C like some critics have already given it. Though I’m not a very good movie critic.

Now to the Outstanding Parenting half of this. Hancock, like I said above is a very good movie but it has a lot of cursing and some scences that kids just shouldn’t see. For example, someone’s head getting shoved into someone’s butt, a persons hand getting cut off, you understand. But I can’t understand why parents continue to bring their kids to movies like these. I’m talking kids who are 3-7.  I know they are eager to see the movie and are disapointed that they have no one to watch their kids, but don’t bring them to a movie that will leave them to think that cursing is another form of speaking correctly. Also, its just rude for the other people who are trying to hear the movie but instead have to listen to your son/daughter crying.

But that’s outstanding parenting for you…yeah right.

I thought I understood people, but now I know I was wrong. People are always going to be a mystery to figure out. You can first view them as individuals who will not let you down and are honest to the fullest, but then you find out that you are wrong and that they have made you look like a fool. I was waiting for the bus on Saturday and this man was backing up to park, I didn’t hear him blowing his horn because I was looking to see if the bus was coming at the bus stop. Plus his horn was low. So he says “don’t you hear me blowing the horn man, what are you bionic?” I didn’t respond, I could have.

It just seems to me that with those rude remarks people are doing nothing but proving themselves to be society’s stereotypical product. Meaning what people say about African Americans are sometimes trube because we prove it to be.

Now friends, although I call them associates. I was actually able this past weekend to reconnect with some of my middle-school classmates on facebook. I’m really happy because in the eigth grade was when I had most of my fun and had plenty of my cushes, not high school though. High school was ok, but not as fun as middle-school. Middle-school was also where I found inspiration for some of my characters or where I borrowed some names. I’m still presently on the hunt for more of my associates, but so far I have 27 friends and counting. Sure most people have 320 or 537, but give me a break not many people know about Peak Johnson, hopefully they will soon.

Before I get back to work on the North Philly Metropolis’s  health edition I would just like to say that on June 24th, the Spiderwick Chronicles movie will be coming to DVD. Many may not know of this title because it is based off of the childrens  books of the same name by Tony Diterlizzi and Holly Black.

Before reading both the Chronicles of Narnia and the Spiderwick Chronicles I went to see both movie adaptions first and, even though the target range is for the little kidies, I loved both of them. The books will always be better and going to see the movies only made me want to read the books more and learn how to create such worlds for Zach and Samantha. I am still reminiscing about when I saw Mollery (from spiderwick) fight off the goblins and Susan (from the chronicles) fought off her enemies with only a bow and an arrow. I think some of my associates, including myself, wish we could travel to Narnia
