Favorite antagonist...

currently, I am sitting on the couch in my living room next to my 16 year old sister who is crying her eyes out as she reads 'The fault in our stars' by John Green. she's almost finished with it and I'm almost sure that she will be reduced to a ball of uncontrollable tears by the last page.
what am I doing? I'm listening to music and trying to get homework done... yeah it's going as well as it usually does..
good news, I was right, my sister was reduced to tears and can't make complete sentences through her  tears.
ANYWAY! onto the reason behind the post...

from a young age, my all time favorite book series was Sherlock Holmes. my favorite villain of all time was Professor James Moriarty. The best version of Moriarty to me comes from Andrew Scott's portrayal of Moriarty on BBC's Sherlock.

Andrew Scott has all these quirky little mannerisms that make Moriarty that much more disturbing and crazy.
Moriarty. is. a. crazy. little. man.
no really, he is a psycho... also he has no control over his expressions.
<---Look at him, what self respecting psychopath mimics someone like this? 

Despite the completely insane side of Moriarty that he encompasses so well, he also makes you be able to relate to the more human side of Moriarty...

well, if you can find one that is. I've come to figure out that not everyone is in touch with their inner psychopath. 
(although we all know a couple people that are TOO in touch with their inner psychopath...)



Oh and he stole the crown jewels...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwoPSdtFqHg
 He doesn't and you can tell by the look on his face. smug little crazy man .What villain that you know dances around while he so nonchalantly steals the crown jewels...


A/N: i know Sherlock Holmes is British but....I couldn't help but make a post about Moriarty's craziness...

Third Star

Every once in a while, I'll find a movie that makes me think. Well, yesterday I found Third star. 
If you look up the summary it'll say something about four friends(James, Miles,Davy and Bill) taking a trip. What the summaries fail to mention(at least all the ones I read) is that James is terminally ill. The movie is both humorous and heart wrenching as you watch the four friends deal with the hardships they are faced with as they make their way to Barafundle Bay(somewhere in the UK- might be wales) a place that James so wants to see again. 

Living life to the fullest and not wasting what precious time we have left on this earth are Just some of the themes that Third Star layers in. 

(Benedict Cumberbatch as James) 

 "So I raise a morphine toast to you. And, should you remember that it's the anniversary of my birth, remember that you were loved by me and you made my life a happy one. And there's no tragedy in that."- James (Third Star, 2010) 

This quote happens near the end and at least in my case, stuck with me. 


If you have the time, please go rent a copy of Third Star. You won't be wasting your time.

Silent hill fog?

Living next to a river, I'm used to fog. However I recently was forced to play silent hill and have found that the fog makes me a little uneasy. It's not necessarily that I'm afraid of it, because I'm not. It's what's moving in the fog. 
I read a book by dean koontz when I was I don't know probably 12-13, called seize the day(I think that's the title, it's been awhile since I read it) and when the fog rolls in during the story, these genetically mutated creatures come out and attack. (Again its been awhile since I've read it so I apologize if I happened to get that tidbit wrong.) 

Like I said, I'm not afraid of the fog...I'm concerned about what could be in the fog.
