Romance and Children's Films Part 2/3 This really is just a wall of text

My blog does not represent the views of Murdoch or any of its affiliates. All posts are NOT to be taken seriously and are written only for entertainment purposes.

Ironically, for the whole time I've been writing this, my stalkee has turned off her block against me and wants to talk to me. But it was only about the next 349 task, so screw that.





At the end of 2006, a children's film was released that contained glamourising of furry little animals that often get overlooked in animated movies. It contained a unique brand of humour an awesome plot twist and a cast of high caliber names. It unfortunately was totally one up'd by Happy Feet.

Never the less, Flushed Away is a HIGHLY underatted (*boom* *tish*) film containing some beautiful parodies and an awesome sound track, as well as a great animation style. It's computer generated clay! Unfortunately it was panned due to the success of Happy Feet, but should be seen, not for it's love story that's a bit predictable, but the characters are awesome and the plot is very cool. Ends a little bit weak but very awesome. Alas, we're here to talk about penguins.

Weird thing. Top grossing Australian film ever. It's not about anything typically in "The Great Australian Film", and most of them have American accents. Hence, Nobody want to go see a film about middle class Australia :(           Although Kenny did quite well and it's made SplashDown one of the leading port-a-potty suppliers in the country. Ah so many topics so few readers :(

Now, again, I've been called an idiot cause I overlook the last five minutes that mumble was just went to save the fish. And that if animals get your attention no one will stop fighting until we save them. Bleugh, who wants to go see a film about hippies succeeding. Why was "The Young Ones" so popular? Every thing was blamed on Niel. 

But two key scenes.

Scene 1. Gloria is out on the ice trying to find a mate, she knows that she can have any one in the place. It's noteworthy that she always just sings the few lines of her heart song as the penguins around her promise her all the fish she can eat and all the penguin sex she needs. There is a lot of sexual innuendo in this film. I get that pretty much all penguins do is eat, have sex and waddle, but for a species that only mates once a year... Bit of an anti-climax right there. Anyway, Mumble comes over lip syncing to Ramon, Gloria is initially impressed, she knows that Mumble has been after her a long time, and deep inside she should realise they're going to end up together so she should really get over herself. After being disappointed, Mumble starts doing the whole hop thing. His hop turns up to be in perfect timing to Gloria's heart song, not just that, but it's unlocks the rest of her song. Now from over analysing ("Anal" "Sing", now that reminds me of farting, which reminds me of hot air, which reminds me of bullshitting to someone, therefore, Analysing = bullshit.) this  I reckon that this also shows the way relationships appear today, two totally different people, but they compliment each other, as the rhythm compliments the song, but also boost and aids the other person to become a better person.  

Okay, so Gloria how now realised, okay, my guy doesn't have a heart song, but he'll give me fish, dance his heart out and willing to lip sinc to Robin Williams. And now just to top it off he's going to save us all. Am I the only one seeing that this guy is making up for the fact that he's unique.

I guess that's another reason why this movie touches me is because I was brought up in that generation which was told "You're not weird, you're unique!" Now they've found out to be a bad idea, because you get people like me who have never grown out of the fallacy (I hate using this work cause I'm scared I'll type Phallic or fallopian or fellatio, all of which have nothing to do with what I'm trying to say.)   that I think uniquely, act uniquely. And by the number of people who hide my Facebook posts because they don't understand them, I think I am one of the rare cases that I am, dare I say it, special. Not in an elitist way, far from it, my scores indicate that my intelligence isn't great and I'm not a prodigy, I'm that special that no one wants to talk about. It doesn't impact me in such a way I get sympathy, it doesn't privilege me, it make me a guy with a few close friends, desperate for attention and then not sure what to do with it when I acquire it.

So this movie has always left me with a sense of one day someone will appreciate my uniqueness, and that I've got to be willing to swim the entire Atlantic ocean to impress her. I'm sorry, I think I might cheat and just do that bit of the Indian ocean to the South of Victoria, then I'll end up in the Australian zoo which have a much more awesome penguin enclosure.

Scene 2:  Mumble gets banished, and in the middle of nowhere, there is voice on the wind and this short scene has 3 fantastic lines, starting with "You've got a stalker!" Okay, so when I'm doing my stalker thing I go beyond cute into proper "Restraining Order Required" territory, but in the end, don't we want someone who totally go all Dante and follow us anywhere? Hence, the next best line of the scene

Mumble: "If you come with me, you may never go home."
Gloria: "Fine by me."

Mumble then complains that she shouldn't be there because she can indeed have a normal life, he isn't normal, he can't, she don't care and wants to join him anyway.... leading to, what I sadly believe one of the most romantic lines ever. Now although there are proper romantic films like Casablanca which do tell romantic stories that are timeless, I wish that hidden among those huge lists of quotes people have hidden away for pulling out on romantic occasions, I hope that a lot of people have this one with them

Mumble: We can't keep an egg safe out here, that is, if we ever had an egg.
Gloria: Yeah, well, I don't need an egg to be happy.
Mumble: You say that now, but what about later, when all your friends have eggs?
Gloria: Then I'll have you.

Now I'm sure this is probably just referencing a different romantic film, but the fact that this line exists in a kids film just makes it all the more awesome.

"Fuck what the others think of you, fuck what the rest of the world thinks of you, they don't see what I see. And I like what I see."

I am yet to meet someone who shares my love of this line. sigh.

And after Gloria one more time iterates that no matter what he does she's going to be by he's side for whatever freaky adventure they go on, until he calls her a bitch.

From the little I've observed, I've seen that there is a line, that if you stay on the right side of it, you can pretty much treat a woman like crap and there's a primordial urge to be more attracted to his dominant nature. I'd like to also state that I don't think ANYONE should be treated like that, but I am aware that this is backed up by science. At least, if you call psychology a science.

But touchy chauvinist observation aside, this scene concludes with Mumble trying to force himself to believe he made the right decision, that he loves her so much that he knows she deserves someone else. It's a tough bullet. Think ending of "There's Something About Mary." And seriously, a guy who hasn't jacked off  for 24 hours will generally produce 40mL of fluid. The whole famous scene is BS. Generally it'll only get as high as your chest but it is a bitch to get out of hair. And out of these 3 posts, that's the only information acquired by personal experience.  Don't act repulsed at me, everyone is curious at one point or another.

These scene ends with Gloria and Mumble walking away from each other, each occasionally looking back, there's nothing either of them would love more than to run back.

So whether these posts have made you go "awww" or throw up a little, I hope you join me tomorrow for its' thrilling conclusion and my live@edu review, because the 4 hours, 6 pages and 3,240 words of writing so far hurts.

I wish I could get the same sort of motivation for my other units

Good evening class. I'm not doing a media degree, and I only got a B for year Media, so take all of this as personal opinion from someone who isn't a master of the subject, and shouldn't really have any say in the matter in a public forum. Such as Roger Ebert thinking games aren't art forms. Have you played Braid or Flower? Seriously? Although you did write Beyond the Valley of the Dolls which I haven't seen/read personally but sounds like a damn good attempt at adding plot to a porno. Bottom line 1. Flower, Dynamo hell even Geometry Wars or Space Giraffe,  all deserve a special place. 2. I will not watch porn with plot it just makes me feel more ashamed.


Moving right along.


Dinner Table. This time last year. Dinner with housemate's parents.


H.M's Mum: Although I did like Wall-e.
Me: Wall-e was sweet. I mean, I really like the fact that all the director wanted to do was a story about how the last robot of earth wasn't turned off and the sweet love story that occurs.
H.M's Mum: Oh but there's much more to it than that, I mean, how obese humans have got because of the little amount of movement and the fact that we are still heavily a throw away society causing our own planet's destruction.


OKAY. BACK THE FUCK UP. (as in *beep *beep* *beep*)


Now when I was young, I was taught the idea that I was young and had very little knowledge of the world, so I learnt how to shut up. When I because I teenager I was all like "YEAH! I'M ALMOST AN ADULT I HAVE PERSONALLY FORMED OPINIONS BACKED BY A MORALITY SYSTEM THAT I HAVE CREATED OUT OF SELECTING AND COMBINING THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS OF OTHERS INTO A PERSONAL DEVELOPED MENTALITY OF RIGHT AND WRONG SO I CAN FORM MY OWN PERSONAL PERCEPTION ABOUT WHAT I BELIEVE TRUE TO BE ABOUT THE WORLD WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT DYNAMICALLY CHANGE DUE TO THE FUTURE ENCOUNTERS WITH OTHER PEOPLE IF I CHOSE TO CONSIDER THAT SELECTIONS OF THEIR PERSONA CONTRIBUTE OR COMPLEMENT MY OWN PERSONAL UNDERSTANDINGS!! YEAH!" (As you can tell I was a hoot to have around at leavers. 


This then changed when I went to university as I realised I was young and still hugely impressionable due to my lack of actual contrasting view points. I have since gone back to doubting my own opinion and knowing that there is a high chance that my own viewpoint will be hated by someone else. I'm still very scared to lodge an opinion I know is true.


And I guess in this circumstance the parent was trying to make me look at the broader picture stuff away from central themes. But in Wall-e the additional themes are all so negative. They're all so away from the simplistic idea which the movie started with, that I love to focus on. So I didn't continue the argument. I've learnt since that arguments are pretty much meaningless anyway. I have my opinions, you have yours why should I even challenge them when I don't want my own to be challenged?


Philosophical, yeah. I like that stuff. So anyway, back to the trash compacter, I, like most people I know of, love this film - hugely due to the fact of the fact that there really are no words for the first third of the film and you know exactly what's going on. And then it wins an Oscar. And then the director mentions "Steve Jobs" in his speech and it was all over and the movie has not be spoken of since.


The love story in Wall-e is pretty straight forward, 


1. Wall-e finds a movie and wants to hold someone's hand. Damn I'm so glad that he found Hello Dolly. He could of found "Heavy Metal" or "American Pie" or... "Hannah Montana" It's okay Wall-e, Miley Cyrus (Ironically, Sirus could also be pronounced this way.) is dead by the time you read this blog.


Sorry, could you just go make sure? Thanks.


2. Another hand shows up, it's attached to a robot that wants to find a plant.


3. For convenience of story telling, Wall-e has a plant.


4. No body can find the plant


5. Wall-e pisses eve off by breaking stuff and getting her in trouble.


6. Wall-e has the plant and they space dance in space. How does the fire extinguisher not explode? During this Wall-e gets the warm touch of a woman he's already been secretly hoping for. 


7. He also receives a discharge of static electricity. Now this is always described as a "kiss" or a sharing of affection. This, although unexplainable discharge from Eve (Damn right I'm going to use the word 'Discharge.') is the sweetest part of the non-verbal stuff displayed. 


Sharing of affection in human society is most physical and sweet between the couple and damn weird to everyone else.  The male of a couple I know gives the female a raspberry to show that he loves her. Side point 1, happy that he didn't decide to do this during the ceremony, side point 2, why is it always something people also happily to do babies? All that sweet baby talk is okay when it's refereed to as "sweet nothings."


"Lachlan, this post will come back to haunt you one day."


"Yes, Yes it will, and dammit I'm getting sick of waiting."


"oooOOOOoooo, looks like someone's writing a post to vent their true thoughts that the only reason that all they can see is the love story in Wall-e because they truely connect to Wall-e on a personal level in the fact that you also feel like an unwanted soul on an empty abandoned planet waiting to be rescued by the girl of his dreams.."


"Well, durr, you just wait until I get onto Happy Feet in a moment"


"You mean this post isn't even half over?"


"Nope. Okay, now chill, do not yell at the person on the other end of the phone, he knows his blog posts are too long and need a bigger audience."


"Isn't this blog about being a student?"


"349 is too much work , 338, Linux is fun but I hopefully won't need to use it daily and Perl is awesome, 362, I wish I could just get the commands for CBAC and VPNs in my head. There, you happy? And plus, the last post was about Murdoch Encounters and the next post will be about Live@edu!"


"Murdoch is outsourcing it's mail into the cloud?!"


"I know, right? Hell scary. But I'll get onto clouds next post."


I love the fact that Wall-e is just so not ready for that charge that he just floats off, that' awesome.


8. Eve reviews security footage of all Wall-e went through to make sure Eve was safe, including a game of Pong on the original Atari 2600 which is bullcrap cause the score won't reach 7000 on the original. Eve can't help but feel moved.


9. Wall-e is beaten up for the plant, because he knows it makes Eve happy. if (Eve == happy){ Wall-e = happy; } and as long as you have Eve, happy and Wall-e defined, that will compile in most 3rd level and higher languages. It is at this point where we have the sweetest line of the verbal portion Wall-e: Directive? (hands Eve the plant.) Eve: (Eve ditches the plant and takes Wall-e hand.) Directive.


"I have a new agenda, the one I was programmed to do is null. I've met you and frankly, right now, the most important thing above all others is making sure you're safe."


If that doesn't rip out your heart strings than only a blood thirsty axe murderer will. 


10. Wall-e reminds Eve that the replacements are on Earth, if she takes the plant, the ship will go to Earth and she can fix him. Eve is then ecstatic and  gets the plant and the ship flies home. 


Let's just ignore the awesome 2001 tribute even though it's awesome and point out the fact that the only reason the ship is going home is so that Eve can fix Wall-e.  THE SAVING OF THE HUMAN RACE TAKES A BACKSEAT. And I don't want to meet the couple that puts the human race in front of their love. And, thankfully, I haven't yet. Okay, I've met a few where there would be a few seconds hesitation, but then they think of something, I don't know what, maybe the time they've had together, maybe something one of them did for the other, maybe just something simple like the sex, and the human race is canned.


11. Eve fixes Wall-E and after some moments of being stuck in default, Wall-e's personality loads (Think about how you're computer isn't yours until it logs into your account.)


This is done by doing the hand hold that Wall-e has really wanted all along, and a second static discharge, this one created out of desperation, kind of like a kiss given to a comatose patient "I know you're in there somewhere and I love you, so you better wake up otherwise I'm totally changing my Facebook status back to single." (Speaking of relationship status why isn't there "Wishes @name would notice @name" "@name want's to Court" or "@name is @name's F-buddy" Oh come on, we all know it happens.)


"And their love was eternal." Although some people online have followed this up with "Only if Wall-e would agree to install anti-virus before they plug into each other." And I'm being 100% serious here, on select cartoon porn sites, they are plugged into each other, there is coolant fluid and several comments below the gallery consisting of "Why? How does anybody get turned on by this?" and then, by the same user sometime later "I just got turned on by this, should I see a therapist?" (Therapist, another word I can only spell by remembering "The-rapist".)


So that's how I see it. A love story. And if I ever get to code an AI for a robot with laser guns and the want to exterminate all meatbags, it's going to get a crush on another one. And I also want to see the next version of Norton released in a little foil package.


Now because that took an hour and a half to write, my next two films will be in parts 2 and 3.





student + procrastination = blog

My blog does not represent the views of Murdoch or any of its affiliates. All posts are NOT to be taken seriously and are written only for entertainment purposes.


In rare moments of true genius, someone finds to idea, two concepts, two procedures, that work so well together, that when someone  has the luck to find a way to combine those two ideas, everyone goes "Now why didn't I think of that?" and TRUE genius is born.









It is with this in mind, that Murdoch set up the "Murdoch Encounters" website. A website to truly express all your own combinations of ideas to form new idea in which then can be. Er... Um.. Seriously I don't know why they want them or what they intend to do with them.

But presently, on the shiny thing, which I want to state is on all the time and does not look structure-ly sound enough to climb and is very pretty when your tired at 1:30 during a LAN. Now before you start, I was going to climb it, then I looked at it. It's randomly displaying submissions to the website and if I broke it, no one would ever know "Ninja" + "Pirate" = "Child you don't mess with" or "Exams" + "Facebook = "a fail" or even "Murdoch Encounters" + "Flash Animation" = "Time well spent not procrastinating"

Which comes to my first point about the website, it's interesting choice of design. It's done in flash, that's okay, most Murdoch promotional sites use flash, I just wonder what the html only site looks like...

Hmmm, you can only add your own experiences... Interesting choice, I can submit things, but not view...  I guess the interconnected web of ideas they wanted wasn't supported by javascript, but wait, even if the flash site, it's a female dog to see all the created connections between ideas. You see a pretty mess of all the base ideas and when you click on one, you see all the created connections from that one idea. I guess I just got into  256 a  bit too much, the purpose of that unit is pretty much saying all knowledge should be made manageable and logical... I guess there is an A-Z and a quick way to see the 'encounters' you've added there's just no search or anything.

The major prize is a guitar signed by acts that were at Southbound.. Like, um.. I went there.. damn, I know this, errr... Nope, I just remember backs. So yeah, don't mind if I don't win this major prize, but I wouldn't mind  winning the one for the most humourous, I'm not saying I will win because it's NOT MONITORED, Okay, I'm guessing if someone put Drugs + Databases Lecture = Funny Lecture they'd probably take it off. Because everyone know Danny's lectures are awesome without drugs. 

And because this post was delayed, another two will be up shortly... Either don't have anything to do with Murdoch Encounters, but are slightly too long to just be tacted onto this post, so to get you through the next few hours, please go on Facebook, post all spelling corrections I need to make to this on, and here's graffiti of the week...

The nerve of some people..


Oh and there's a clock bug too...

An issue I have NO authority to talk about but will anyway

My blog does not represent the views of Murdoch or any of its affiliates. All posts are NOT to be taken seriously and are written only for entertainment purposes. 




The following deals with a few issues and topics which are a bit touchy to some people.


Dear MCU and anyone who is offended with the topics of religious comedy, stalking and the want to attack shiny things,


I'm not going out of my way to offend. You have been warned. More specific apologies are dealt with throughout, just grin and bear it. Or you know, you could scroll through it, rather than purposefully finding something that offends you and attacking me on it, or shoot me a kind email saying "Yeah, that kinda hit a nerve, if you wouldn't mind, if it does come up again, being a bit more sensitive, that'd be great." or "Look I've got a few hundred people not liking this, can you move it to a blog outside what is accessible from the uni website?" and I'll respond. "Happily, thanks for emailing me rather than troubling any of the ethics committees with this small matter."



"Wow, it really is empty."


"Well, he said it would happen, like this, on the third day he'd rise again."


"Let's us pray for him, brother, as he taught us how, Abwûn d'bwaschmâja..."


"Wait a sec.."


"What's the matter?"


"He said he'd come back on the third day.."


"Yes, and it is the third day of his death."


"No it's not, he died on Friday right, that means yesterday was the first day of his death."


"Ah, but we will note that he died on the Friday, did not see the end of the Friday, therefore, the FIRST day of his death."


"But it's not REALLY is it? I mean, think about declaring an array, what the first element?"


"I hardly see what this has to do with.."


"WHAT IS THE FIRST ELEMENT IN AN ARRAY."


"... The zeroth."


"Exactly, his first day of actually being at the Father's hand would of been yesterday. Therefore he should of come back on Monday."


"Well, not really don't you think it would of been more appropriate to come back at the day of rest?"


"True but it's a bit of a lie. Wait no one has been hear since yesterday afternoon, he could of got out last night! That means he could of been in there for under 24 hours!"


"(Another one of the tweleve, trying to change the subject.) Oh look, Mary has changed her status from 'widowed' to 'it's complicated.'"


"Darn right it's complicated. Seriously... Is she now technically... a... Necrophilliac? But really, that is nice. Wait. He's is yet to change his.. Essssh... This could get ugly... Oh and he's created two groups 'I am not the undead, nor a zombie, I'm just resurrected' and 'Petition to make Facebook support two birthdays."


"Two birthdays? Who would want that?"


"The Queen of England and Paddington Bear."


"That makes sense.. But I still think he should of risen on MONDAY."


"Look, why are you so adamant about this?"


"Cause I already sort of applied for flexitime on Monday to get it off so I could celebrate."


"Well, all the more reason to celebrate tonight, you have tomorrow to get over it."


'True, but I'm skint till tomorrow."


'Blast, anyone got anything to shout a couple of rounds?"


"No sorry."


"Darn, spent the last of mine getting here."


"(sigh) ur, I've got 30 silver pieces that I don't mind sharing. Under the current circumstances.. Least I could do..."


"Right let's go eat, drink and be with Mary!"




Hence, Easter Monday was born.


Now, I've tried not dealing with religion before but I thought up this dialog in my  head last night and thought it pretty darn funny. So I'd like to state. I am a Christian. Although, you can blab on me for the fact had to double check that it was 30 pieces of silver, and the first lines of the Lords prayer in Aramaic. Although I was to scared to attribute names to anyone, don't know which one would of been the Facebook freak. Bet it was Batholemuew. Seriously, how bad was the thing he did, in order to get pretty much banished from the scripture? Judas, sold the Son of God and he got in. I reckon Thaddeus was omitted cause seriously, who could take anything seriously said by someone named Thaddeus (With apologies to Rachel Flynn.)


I Hang round with mostly Atheists in my own little bubble of private conversation with what I believe is higher power and having a reason to get up early on a Sunday cause I already sleep in on Friday's and Saturday's. I'd like to also state, that I think I'm funny. I have a few friends and lecturer's (and another group of students and a lecturer that think I have an obsession with old, moldy milk. And whilst I do like my bit of old English or a nice strong cheddar, I have no recollection of where this originated.)  that think I'm not and that's free for them to think that. However they must realise that I am a bit turrets when it comes to thinking of something I think is funny.


Now when it comes to my own values and beliefs, I believe that only mine should NOT be sacred, therefore, trying the course of if I only make fun of my own beliefs I have this inbuilt line in the sand that I think should be the limit. But I have offended Christians, one to the point of blocking me on msn after we got talking about Revelations and I just made the off comment that I wonder if the second coming will be amended to there or put in a completely new book. Sure, it wasn't quite worded like that, his faith and the way he celebrates his faith didn't allow for that. And again, I apologise to him for overstepping his line. (It was a while ago, but I realise how much it hurts when someone else attacks your own ideology that it really stings. I don't like it happening to me, I shouldn't do it to him.)


So I have done stand up at a couple of Christian conventions. I would love to do more stand up, can anybody hook me up with some open mikes, don't wanna do it as a career, it's just I love doing it occasionally. Okay well technically the same Christian convention, just different instances of. I have given adequate warnings that "This may offend some people, if you have a stronger faith system than I do, please leave the room as I don't want to offend." Although that said I still wanted to test the timeless Robot Chicken line 'Mary Magdalen: (looking under bedsheets.) "Jesus, I think you're ready for a second coming." And I have to say it went down better than I thought, some applauded laughing, but generally people handled it, which makes me happy, not only for the group of Christians I was in that could tolerate the idea of jokes about a person who they consider one of the most powerful influences in their life (provided they were warned, of course.) Of course with that comes the equally powerful discussion of whether Mary did in fact take the Son of God's name in vein that night. Proper noun or exclamation? Who knows?


Now before this get's any more low I would like to state that I ended the bit with God yelling down the phone at me before wanting me to, as always, look at his printer. I guess, I'm not trying to say anything, I'm just trying to state that his Sunday actually does mean something to me and I just want the readers of this blog to know that I do have a line and also that Murdoch Uni is very open to all faiths, including the group who is now plotting a way to somehow make me appear a sympathiser to the Judean's People's Front.


(Yep. That's a new low.)


The MCU, or Murdoch Christian's Union is one of the many religious built university groups, is always outside the library on a Thursday for a chat about anything and how God fits into your everyday life in a good way, it's not strictly joining a church, but joining a group to share faith and feel like you have a place to belong at Murdoch.


If you do want to join a group at Murdoch, but however, want a group that will aid you in the event of the zombie apocalypse, you might want to come to EH 1.005 on THIS Friday from 4.30pm and be part of the MITS AGM. Please. 


Graffiti of the week (Originally this blog was going to have TWO other topics (more about my job and talk about relationships at uni, both of which MAY come up later.), okay? Be greatful it's only this long.)




Several of these popped up around uni, random chalk drawings (This time with no inspiring words or fake blood.) each with the line "Are you read for Murdoch encounters?" and the date "29/3/2010" 


I'm not sure I am ready for any 'encounter' which appears to have chalk and too much time on its hands. And on the 29th...








This arrived. Three screens advertising the winning of prizes and an equation that makes no sense.


Create + Contribute = Explore ??


Create + Contribute = Sounds like a lot of work


Explore = Finding stuff out.


Geez. Check a dictionary before trying to say something poetic. 






And I don't care what they say. They can't keep a security guard there all the time. Especially not during the upcoming MITS LAN from 6pm onwards THIS Friday at EH 1.005. I'm going to climb on that.


So until I get done for heresy and blasphemy, goodbye and God bless.
