update to time travel (or i'm a jerk)

apparently i missed the point of why my wife thinks we can't travel forward in time...

it is because if we can go forward in time that means that the future is written and nothing we do affects things.

i still disagree as, if you take your self out of time to move forward everyone will still act accordingly and the future will be shaped by there actions. thus the future could be vastly different if you leave the present at different times (even by a matter of seconds) but there would still be a future.

still win :D at least till someone can prove me wrong

Time Travel

ok class today we will be debating time travel. open your text books to page 52.

seriously though this is a conversation i have with my wife all the time, we both believe in being able to go in different directions.

i believe if time travel is possible then it is possible to go forward in time, and she believes it is possible to go back in time.

first of my theory (if she wants to go first she can have her own blog)

i believe in going forward in time because it is a simple matter of taking your self out of the time stream, letting it continue as normal, and then re entering it at the desired time. when you are out of time you would obviously not age or even notice the passage of time thus it would only feel like an instant.

she believes that you can go back in time because since it has already happened it is there in it's set state you just need to go to the specific spot in time and visit it.

(at this point i would like to point out how much i love my wife... hehehe)

my flaw in her plan is that if you go back in time you change time thus altering all reality and destroying reality.... or just making Obama loose the election.

i believe her flaw in my plan is something like if you go to the future like that you won't be able to see your self in the future which i say .... well yeah... so i think i win :D


please feel free to put your opinions in the lil comment box down there *points down*

WHAT is wrong with you people!!

so apparently there going to push back the the switch over to DTV (again i might add) because people think that no one will be ready.

there probably right of course, according to the article 6.5 million (yeah million) are not ready.

this switch has been coming for YEARS, it has been pushed back several times and for 6.5 million Americans to not be ready for it is just sad, not to mention that this means 6.5 million people still use rabbit ears to watch tv. WOW people try to keep up. and American government, stop babying your citizens or they will never learn.

movie review: The Mummy Tomb of the Boring Emperor

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

first off i want to say that i HATE it when they replace an actor in a sequel.
so going into this movie i was already weary of its lack of Rachel Weisz, and the attempt to make light of it didn't help me get past it.

second the big bad villain, Emperor Han, NOT a freakin mummy at all, he happens to be undead (although i am not even sure i would count him as undead really) but in my opinion he is not a mummy. a mummy implies not just being undead but the manner in which you are preserved. if anything he is a Golem mixed with a lil bit of Zombie.

ok with those two opening flaws out of the way lets get to the rest of them.

13 years apparently separate this movie from the last in the series, even with this large gap, i find it hard to believe some of the changes in the characters relationships and personality.

Rick and Alex's relationship has become distant and strained due to (according to Evy) Rick being the typical father of the time and with holding his emotions from his child. yet in The Mummy Returns, there is nothing to imply he is anything but a loving and caring father.

also Evy becoming and author by exploiting her previous adventures as works of fiction doesn't flow right, that would be something Jonathon would do (and he does exploit the whole my mummy thing to make a night club around the theme) but not her.

Now Evy and Rick becoming spy's during the war, that i can buy, and thus there boredom with retirement i can also buy.

quick side note, the first Mummy movie was set in the 1926 and this one in 1946.... thus making Evy and Rick a possible 20 years older than they were in the first movie.... there both looking very good for there advanced age.

back to the movie.

some simple plot elements also just seem to not fall into place for me. how does becoming immortal give you the ability to become a dragon.... seriously tell me how that works. if it does then why did the two immortal girls not just become dragons and kick his arse.

ok enough with the bad.

guess what, i liked the movie, yup all that bitching and i still kinda dug it, its a movie you can sit down turn your brain off and enjoy. it obviously could of been better and been better easily, but after your third trip to the well sometimes you don't have enough water to fill the bucket.

the action sequences where fair and entertaining, the special affects where not awe inspiring but they were far from tacky at the same time. mostly it was just a great ball of average. and there is nothing wrong with average.

so not as good as the first and second ones but hell if you don't own the first two already i say get the Trilogy pack. although the packaging for the old trilogy pack (where they included the scorpion king as one of the films for some demented reason) was way cooler looking.

that's it. that's my review, do with it what you will. and i hope you enjoyed it.

a movie based on what?

my first real post eh? here we go.

this post is about the upcoming movie Push,

i am a comic book fan but even i am getting tired of seeing every movie in the last 5 years being based on a video game or comic book or novel or older movie or tv show or theme park ride or child's feverish nightmare. have we truly used up every original idea.

so imagine my surprise when i saw a commercial for a sci fi movie that looks half decent and find out it is based on a script for a movie. SHOCKING i know. who would ever imagin that in this day and age people in the world want to see something they have never seen before.

that being said it is far from a totaly original idea, group of people with special powers hiding there abilities and living on the run from the government. i can think of a few similar works of entertainment:

Heroes
x-men
Dark angel (especialy the dystopian future aspect)
and about a thousand more

but its not always the story but the journey. i am willing to overlook the overused premis to find out how it is presented in a new way.

please don't let me down.

hopefully when that movie comes out i can watch it and do a review of it to see if it lives up to my own internal hype.

first time (be gentle)

i am hoping to actually update this thing, but if not, i am sure no one is actually going to read it lol.

first off i am lazy so notice all the non capitalized words.. get use to it.

second, i am a geek (not a nerd as they are smart) i may use geeky references as such.

third, enjoy the ride suckers.

now a little about me:

my name is Andrew, i am married to my beautiful (far more beautiful than me) wife Jacqueline, why she puts up with me i will never know.

i am 24 with a crap job but a good life. i love comic books, TV, books, i am just a fan of media in general.

my favorite superhero is the Green Lantern (Hal is top fallowed by Kyle then killowog then sodam yat..... then probably mongo)

i one day want to be a writer: novels, comics, movies ect.

i am in part starting this blog because a psychic told my father in law i would, and since the other things she told him sounded good (some came true) i might as well play along right?

i am planing on reviewing movies and comics and novels, as well as bitching about live and reveling in the simple happy moments i go through.

i named my blog monkey butler after a conversation i had with my niece as to what i would buy with a million dollars.... i would want a monkey butler to bring me drinks (admit it you want one too)

well i hope i can update this regularly and have some topics people would be interested in.

i might even make another post tonight... i have something in mind for it
