Modded Again, Angels & Demons, Star Trek, Opeth/Enslaved Show & More!

I got modded and suspended again, for calling someone out as a troll. I had no idea you weren't allowed to do that, what and idiotic rule. The guy wasa total troll too, he wasn't contributing anything at all. It was a thread about what bands you thought were bad. He said that he didn't agree with any of my selections and therfore refused to contribute. I responded by asking him why he even made that post in the first place thena nd to stop trolling. Oh, and apparently all opinions you have are wrong now if someone doesn't agree with you. The thread wasn't evena bout my personal opinion, it was supposed to be about everyone's, and it's sad how few people could understand that.

Last night I saw Angels and Demons and then snuck into Star Trek. I didn't really want to see either but my friends did so whatever. Angels and Demons was alright, it was a step up from Da Vinci Code at least. It stuck a lot closer to the book, which I certainly appreciated considering that the only thing Da Vinci Code shared with the book was the same characters and basic plot. The cinematography and directing were mediocre at best and the acting was alright, with Tom Hanks being the highlight even if it was far from his best performance. Overall I would give it a generous 6/10. Star Trek was horrendous. I actually had a little higher hopes for Star Trek because it looked like it could be fun at the very least, but it actually turned out to be one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. I mean, if Star Wars fans were disappointed with the prequels, I can't imagine how pissed off Star Trek fans must be with this steaming pile of crap. The acting is unanimously terrible with the exception of Scottie who provided some much needed comic relief. The script is one of the worst I've seen in years, the dialogue alone is cringe worthy at best. The movie just goes through action movie cliche after action movie cliche as it proves to you time and time again, just how bad it really is. Even the plot, which is no doubt what trekkies will care most about, is just plain terrible. All Star Trek has going for it are it's special effects, which are still not even as good as Star Wars Episode III and that was released years ago. It's always funny when a movie that takes itself so seriously is so incredibly bad. I would give Star Trek a 2/10.

Back on Thrusday night I went to the Opeth/Enslaved cocnert. Enslaved performed great, but it's too bad they focused mostly on the newer albums, with only one song from pre-Ruun I believe. They need to get a new road crew though, because their equipment was having a lot of problems and the road crew kept going on stage to fi it and obviously had no idea what they were doing. Then Opeth came on and were better than I could have imagined them being. I already enjoyed their music a great deal, but my respect for them shot up even more after that performance. They play on an entirely different level than most other bands around these days. They even did a cool improv section, which would ahve been way better if it wasn't so damn hot in there. Mikael was also incredibly funny and laid back, he has his own style and personality amd is an excellent frontman. It was a really great show.

I hope everyone has had an excellent week as well, and I'm sorry if i haven't commented on your blogs much, I;ve been really busy with finals but tomorrow is my alst day for the semester. Peace out guys!
