The First Day of Classes

 

The first day of classes is actually of no classes. The university has been shut down, all thanks to an escaped prisoner who overpowered and shot the guard yesterday in the Montgomery Regional Hospital. This morning, the escapee was spotted in the vincinity of Tech campus and the VTPD barricaded the south side of the campus immediately. However, coming up next is the even more crazy stuff. William Morva, the pursued esacpee, gun down another police officer and got loose again. At this time, the lately shot officer has been pronounced dead, which means two police officers have been killed in one day.

 

Until now, VTPD is still unable to locate the escapee, and has to shut down the university in an effort to catch the murderer. We have been warned that this guy is armed and extremely dangerous. Virginia Tech also makes it to the headline of breaking news on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/08/21/virginia.escapee.ap/index.html.

 

Right now, this thing has become the only topic that people in Blacksburg are talking about. It’s really unheard of in the history of Blacksburg, which is considered by many to be one of the safest towns in the country. Everyone on campus is on his/her cell phone talking and smiling. Police cars can be seen blocking every major intersection on campus, and police snipers can even been seen on the roofs of campus buildings. Funny thing is, most people are not scared and pretty excited about this. This can tell you how boring the life in a college town usually is.

M** F** Snakes on a M** F** Plane!

I am glad that my $6 was well spent on this very last day of summer: watching "Snakes on A Plane", which is hailed as "The Most Hyped Internet Film of All Time". This film is so special that I don’t even know how to classify it. Thriller? Horror Film? Sci-Fi? It looks like it has got them all, yet it’s still what it is! 

I have no intent to make this blog entry a spoiler because I really don’t want to ruin the random fun and humor in the movie. But one thing I can assure you is that you won’t get disappointed by Samuel Jackson’s performance, and, at some point of the movie, you will hear the most typical Samuel Jackson’s line, which has been already put in this blog entry’s title. It seems like people have been waiting for so long since "Pulp Fiction" that, this time when it finally comes out of Samuel’s mouth, people in the theatre burst into huge laughter for nearly one minute! 

True, this movie is full of crappy storylines and M** F** CGI effects. So perhaps many people won’t give it a damn for a movie of this genre. Also, being rated as "Restricted", it seems that it’s not going to be another box office blow-out like "The Pirates of the Caribbean". The fact is,  it’s such a movie that makes you forget you are in a movie. In approximately one and a half hour (Thank God, not as long as "The Pirates"), people around me were screaming and cheering from the beginning till the end, and at a point even shouted together at the screen: "Don’t go down there!" It’s just so intense, so exciting, and so hilarious that at the end of the movie, everybody in the theater stood up and gave it a big round of applause. 

If you are a lover of such type of movies, go see it and I can guarantee you that it’s better than you have expected. If you hate such kind of movies, I still encourage you to go see it, because it’s so bad that it’s almost too good!

What The Hell Is This?

I really don’t like this new appearance! It really bothers me. Everything looks so ugly, especially the big commercial banner on the top. One of the reasons I kept using MSN spaces for so long is that it looks much neater than other blog sites. But now, it has become one of the ugliest things ever. And the damn thing is, it is enforced by Microsoft, and you really can do nothing about it!

 

After Bill Gates is gone, perhaps the day of Microsoft also comes to an end.
