Rants and Reviews count, right?

4DayTheory

  In a half-assed attempt to write more posts, I will begin writing about movies, games, and anything else that I feel you need to know the truth about.  For quite a while, I’ve been threatening to post a series of my theories.  Of course, they are only theories for the time being.  Once the scientists get with the program these theories will become laws.  We will no longer be allowed to do drugs(including vitamin supplements), have sex with miners(U-boat Paradise), have sex with minors(that means you TimeCrises3), kill kittens, or laugh without spending some time in the lockup.  Well, onto the undeniable Truth.

  For those of you who enjoy a little chess.  I suggest getting on GameKnot and adding 4DayTheory to your buddy list.  I play chess to help you feel good about yourself.  Let’s get it on.  I can’t seem to find a site like this for Connect 4.  Chess may be a game of kings, but Connect 4 is a game of champion-kings. 

  As a general rule, I will try to review only movies that have been released to rent.  Hopefully, that will minimize the possibility of it spoiling your viewing.  Truthfully(and we’re big on Truth), I don’t really care if I spoil it or not because there are probably only 3 people who read this site and one of them is me (I’m the one on the left – TimeCrises3 is on the right). 

The Pianist

  This film stars Adrien Brody and everyone else is basically useless.  This film focuses on the Warsaw ghetto and painist Wladyslaw Szpilman.  Not only is that a ridiculous name, but it’s also a ridiculous name.  Obviously, Wladyslaw (I think all of the w’s and a’s are silent) is not a Nazi.  Shockingly, he’s Jewish and he’s also a pianist.  You can imagine where the film goes from there.  What you really want to focus on while watching this film is the survival instincts of Wladyslaw.  The debate between the life mottos “Take life as it comes” and “Grab the bull by the horns” is settled once and for all in this film.  It turns out that grabbing a bull by the horns can get you killed, but if you take life as it comes you could wind up with a can of pickles and some jaundice.  Clearly, jaundice is better than getting speared by a bull.  For settling this debate with style, this film won 27 out of 50 Academy Awards.  However, I know you didn’t come here to read about the academy.  You can here by mistake and if you’ve read this far, then you probably want to know what I think.  Well, I gave it 8.4 out of 10 gold pieces.  It’s a good film, but can drag like a dead body sometimes. 

  Who knows what will happen next?
