*cough*

I will just cut to the chase.

I have a cold, which is why there hasn't been any posts for a bit.
However, I am recovering and should be back on track soon.

Daniel Reviews Movies and Stuffs #2-Mulan (with special guest!)

Hello, followers!
Today, due to a comment expressed in an earlier post,

(Interestingly, David thought it was an awesome movie, and I should have asked him why. I agree. It was good, but it didn't blow me away.
Review Mulan so I can write a ranty comment about why I thought it rocked.)

I have decided to not only review Mulan, but get the author of this comment (my mother) to review it as well, in interview format!


So, without further ado...

DW: Overall, why do you think the movie rocked?
FA: I thought that Mulan (the title character) was kick-ass.

DW: Elaborate.
FA: Despite being scared, she joined the army. Despite failing first, she persevered.

DW: Any favorite supporting characters?
FA: I liked the little dragon.
DW: Mushu?
FA: How can you not like Eddie Murphy?

DW: Did you think there were any special plot details that made the movie richer?
FA: I liked that (Mulan) went to war both to protect her father and to find herself.

DW: Thoughts on the antagonist? Did he twist his proverbial mustache enough?
FA: He was a very bog-standard villain. Not a lot of depth, just "I will kill EVERYBODY in the world!"

DW: You wake up. Mushu is staring you right in the face. What do?
FA: Scream loudly and swat him like a mouse.

Mushu does not like being swatted.


DW: In conclusion, what score do you give it out of 10 and why?
FA: I give it an 8 because I really appreciated how "un-princessy" Mulan was. I had been expecting a more traditional, passive princess.



I have to agree with her on the 8. It was really gripping and there were many funny and poignant moments alike. Plus EDDIE MURPHY.
Lolwut






Ah'm back!

Hello, loyal followers!
I have returned from the totally far-out Chesapeake Bay, and will be slowly returning to the blogosphere! Get ready for a movie review, Doodle Days, and some informative Chesapeake Bay posts coming tonight and tomorrow! Meanwhile, enjoy this picture I made in Paint.

Bubble, what have you been eating?

One-Shot Mondays #1--Yin-Yang writes a story

One day, the happy little bunny was romping through the fields
and then a hunter shot it! AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!
Luckily, he missed and the bunny continued on his way. Suddenly, the bunny met a a kitty who
ripped the happy little bunny's throat out! The bunny was dead before he could even scream!
JUST KIDDING! Actually, the kitty wanted to be the bunny's bestest friend forever!
That's what the kitty said, anyway, but he was really trying to exploit the bunny and eventually slaughter him!
But luckily, the bunny figured it out and ran away to safety as fast as his cute little legs could carry him! But then the bunny fell off a cliff and went SPLAT on the ground! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No, not really! He was JUST FINE AND HE NEVER GOT HURT EVER!
OH YES HE DID, YOU IMBECILE! I KILL YOU! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGHHHH

Daniel Reviews Movies and Stuffs #1-Anastasia

***MOVIE REVIEWS EVERY WEEKEND***


Today, I am reviewing Anastasia, a 1997 film produced by Fox Animation Studios, but with the altogether too unmistakable ring of a Disney movie. Even my own mother was fooled (we're on a weekly Disney streak and my mom buys these videos from some...place.)

Honestly, were it not for the Fox logo in the opening previews, I would be absolutely 100% convinced that it was a Disney movie. ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, the plot, the songs, the predictable ending, SCREAMS DISNEE DISNEE OMG in my face, and I don't appreciate that. Couldn't we once have a Disney (or Fox) movie that isn't so damn PREDICTABLE?





Anyhoo, the plot (which I am SO not copying from Wikipedia) is that in 1916, Tsar Nicholas II hosts a ball at the Catherine Palace to celebrate the Romanov tricentennial. His mother, the Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna, is visiting from Paris and gives a music box and a necklace inscribed with the words “Together in Paris” as parting gifts to her eight-year-old granddaughter, the Grand Duchess Anastasia. The ball is suddenly interrupted by Grigori Rasputin, a sorcerer who was banished by the Tsar for treason. Rasputin had then sold his soul in exchange for an unholy reliquary, which he uses to cast a curse on the Romanov family in revenge, sparking a revolution that forces them to flee the palace. Only Marie and Anastasia are able to escape, thanks to a young servant boy named Dimitri, who shows them a secret passageway in Anastasia's room. Rasputin confronts the two royals outside, only to fall through the ice and drown. The pair manage to reach a moving train, but only Marie climbs aboard while Anastasia falls, hitting her head on the platform.


Ten years later, Russia is under communist rule, and Marie has publicly offered ten million rubles for the safe return of her granddaughter. Dimitri and his friend and partner Vladimir thus search for an Anastasia lookalike to present to Marie in Paris and collect the reward. Elsewhere, Anastasia, now under the name "Anya", leaves the rural orphanage where she grew up, having lost her memory prior to arriving there. Accompanied by a stray puppy she names "Pooka", she turns down a job at a fish factory in favor of going to St. Petersburg after her necklace inspires her to seek out her family in Paris. In the deserted palace she encounters Dimitri and Vladimir, who — impressed by her resemblance to the "real" Anastasia — decide to take her with them.


Bartok, Rasputin's albino bat minion is nearby and notices his master's dormant reliquary suddenly revived by Anastasia's presence; it drags him to limbo, where Rasputin survives. Enraged to hear that Anastasia escaped the curse, Rasputin sends demonic spirits from the reliquary to kill her; despite two attempts, the trio manage to (unwittingly) foil him, forcing Rasputin and Bartok to travel back to the surface.


Anastasia, Dimitri, and Vlad eventually reach Paris and go to meet Marie, who refuses to see her, having been fooled numerously before by impostors. Despite this Sophie, Marie's cousin, quizzes Anastasia to confirm her identity. Dimitri and Vladimir had taught Anastasia all the answers, but when Anastasia independently (though dimly) recalls how Dimitri saved her ten years ago, the two men finally realize that she is the real Grand Duchess. Dimitri, however, insists they do not reveal this truth to Anastasia. Sophie, convinced as well, arranges for Anastasia to meet Marie after a Russian ballet. However, Marie wants nothing to do with Dimitri, having heard of him and his initial scheme to trick her. Horrified that Dimitri was using her, Anastasia storms out. Dimitri, having fallen in love with Anastasia, manages to change Marie's mind by presenting her with Anastasia's music box, which he had found after their escape. Anastasia's memory returns upon meeting Marie, and the two women are reunited at long last.


The next day, Marie offers Dimitri the reward money, but to her surprise he refuses it and leaves for Russia, convinced that he cannot be with Anastasia. That night, at Anastasia's return celebration, Marie informs her of Dimitri's gesture and leaves her to her thoughts. Anastasia then wanders through a garden and onto the Pont Alexandre III, where she is trapped and attacked by Rasputin. Dimitri returns to save her, but is injured and knocked unconscious. Anastasia manages to kill Rasputin by crushing the reliquary under her foot. With Rasputin's soul having been tied to the object, he promptly dies and turns to dust.


Afterwards, Dimitri and Anastasia reconcile; the two then elope and Anastasia sends a farewell letter to Marie and Sophie, promising to return someday. The film ends with the couple sharing a kiss as they sail out of Paris with Pooka, while Bartok falls in love with a female bat who kisses him.






SEE WHAT I MEAN?


There really is not much to tell, no special little quirks that would make it stand out for me.


So, in conclusion, I give it a 6.


Watch it--if you feel like.

Daniel Rants--Heartless Kindergarteners

RANTS COMING EVERY THURSDAY!

I had to write this.

Today, at recess, I saw young Landon, a fellow ASD kid, getting hassled by some of his peers. I stepped in, but this isn't the first time it's happened, and it leads me to wonder...

It's probably the F***ING STUPID age we live in, which I herald only for its technological and creative advances.
Think about it. Look around the next time you go out anywhere moderately urban.
. Then ask yourself, "Is the brilliant, charming, and excruciatingly handsome Daniel correct?"
If you have children about 5 years old who are either bullied or bullying at school, you know exactly what I mean.
WHERE HAS THE INNOCENCE GONE?

To Err is Human...?

Ehh Ohh Ahh.

Breathe.
Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeathe.

Ok, here's what just happened.

I was in my dad's music room for no apparent reason.
I leaned against the old window.

KER-SMASH!

I wasn't hurt, and the glass wasn't hard to clean up, but the shock value...


Ehh Ohh Ahh.

Breathe.
Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeathe.
Breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeathe.

Aspie Wednesdays #1--Dear Old Dad (Part 1/infinity)

I really, really, do NOT like my father.

And I'm sure I will say this many other times.

I love the guy, sure, but he is so DAMN HARD to get along with.
Maybe I react too much to every little comment he makes, but he just comes off as bossy, controlling, overprotective, picky, and authoritarian, and I CANNOT stand it anymore!

I feel like I've tried everything, and we still CANNOT get along.
I'm starting to wonder if Asperger's enters into the equation.


ANY HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS?

Post them in the comments.

Please.

Doodle Days #1--Con-tes-ee-tants

This is a pretty old drawing. I've drawn these characters since, with major improvements, but I guess they're kinda cute anyways...
I like the facial expression on Comic (front and center). I wonder if he smelled a fart...


NOTE: Doodle Days will NOT be on any particular schedule, but they will be out about 3 times a month...


That's all for now...

"I like trains..."

The sheer randomness of the asdfmovies, by TomSka, just make me laugh with certain hilariousness. I mean, come on. IT'S COMPLETELY RANDOM!

Insert Generic Welcoming Post Here?

Oh. My. Steven.

I don't have the foggiest idea how to write this monumental first post...so it's going to be quite a bit rambly and pretty much suck in every way imaginable.
Ah, who cares!

Let's see.
My name is Jason Shapiro. I am 17, a star player on every team in my hell-hole of a high school, an A student, and a Grade A hottie. And yes, I am single.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHNZAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHFARTHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!

No.
My name is Daniel Webb. I am 13, lacking in pretty much every physical aspect, an A+++ student, and a Grade D hottie. Yes, I'm single, but who cares?
Also, I have Asperger's Syndrome, a condition like autism but significantly milder. If my posts seem a little strange, now you know the reason why.

Let's see.

I like Uglydolls http://www.uglydolls.com/
