When we started writing this blog – we really didn’t have any reason to do it beyond “hey, this is part of your module grade, write this stuff now or you’re gonna fail.”
Okay.
So – per se, you’re looking at a bunch of very unmotivated people with no real interest in blogging beyond needing to blog in order to pass this module. And the object of our blog, movies, was really just chosen because we decided that movies were the only thing the five of us had in common and something that basically everybody liked - so it’s all in the bag now.
But even though we’re kinda new to blogging – intermediate at best and definitely not just doing this out of passion, you can be sure as hell that we’re going to try our damndest to entertain you with our film-related raving and rambling.
How are we going to do that?
So one of us – Haiqal (more on him later) just thought of this genius idea earlier today, and the five of us essentially just snapped our fingers and went “Hey, we’ll roll with that.”
And what would that be?
That familiar!
Basically, in this segment, we’re going to be comparing a recent production to an old film – like the recently-released About Time and its elder: The Time-Traveller’s Wife. We’re gonna tell you what we think about the similarities (read: Rage about how the new movie is a rip-off of the old movie) and how the “new interpretation” has brought in interesting new ideas (read: How the new things in the younger movie make it worse than the old movie that it shamelessly ripped off) -
Yeah, we’re basically going to complain about it.
We’re even going to put in a column for you guys to speak your mind so you can flame us for criticising the movie OR maybe even complain with us too! Isn’t that exciting? You can thank us later.
That’s all just one side of the coin, though! We fully intend to praise reboots/remakes or new films that incorporate successful elements from previous films – and we don’t expect those to be a minority.
Ending Reinvented
Stop right there, I know – yeah – stop – I know what you’re thinking.
Geez.
Okay, “How this movie should have ended” – I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of those on youtube, and in many ways we’re going to be doing the very same thing. There’s not much different that we can do from the others, but what we do have that nobody else has is – Eh.
I think ours would be funnier. Probably. Maybe. Okay maybe not.
Who’s this guy? Tell me where I can find him so I can give him a good smacking for bashing my favourite overrated movie!
Hmm. Not exactly sure how much we should tell you guys at this juncture.
Maybe more later? For now, you can know that we’re a group of five bloggers – and some of us (that’s me), can be really opinionated. We’re on our second year, and we look forward to giving you, our faithful readers, fun things to read, hopefully not pissing any of you off in the meantime.
Until the next update – this is Filmophile, signing off!
