You get a special double helping of both dinosaur action and tastey, tastey Jeff Goldblum today as we review the Steven Spielberg films of Jurassic Park and its sequal The Lost World.
In Jurassic Park Jeff Goldblum plays Dr Ian Malcolm, an out-there chaos theorist with a sharp wit and something of a rockstar disposition. Let me just say that Dr. Malcolm and the old guy that founds the park are the best characters in Jurassic Park. Dr. Malcolm has the best lines and is the most likeable whilst the old guy (John I believe his name is) is a sympathetic character who's dreams and ambitions are the foundations for the disasters that follow. The other characters are Spielberg's classic stereotypes that he shoehorns into all his damn movies. There's the sassy woman, the worried lawyer, the stupid stupid kids and the guy-who-hates-kids-at-the-start-but-then-grows-quite-attached-to-them-because-survival-brings-people-together-and-really-makes-you-appreciate-things-in-a-whole-new-light. All THESE fucktards are about as deep and well developed as a cardboard cutout with a speech bubble stuck to it. But at least we have the other two characters who are more than able to carry the rest thr...oh fuck Dr. Malcolm broke his leg and will be ignored from now on. Guess that fucks that up. In the Lost World Dr. Malcolm returns with a much needed increase in his lines and the movie is made all the better for it. Mind you the characters in this one are stupidly stereotypical and flat aswell. There's the child, the stubborn girlfriend, the greedy capitolist bastard, the hunter and the COMPLETE DICKHOLE ENVIRONMENTALIST GUY WHO GETS OTHER PEOPLE KILLED BY ATTEMPTING SURGERY ON AN INJURED BABY T-REX AND BY DELIBERATELY STEALING BULLETS FROM PEOPLE'S GUNS. I mean seriously this guy is a self righteous fucktard wanker who I personally wanted to kick in the balls til they poked through his brain. Sounds harsh but he is truely a douchebag you need to see to believe.
Another problem I have with this movie is how often you'll be yelling at the characters to stop being stupid. Characters carry guns but never fucking use them, they just stand there and scream. Just kill it you moron, you can scream all you want once it's dead. Now that we're on the topic of screaming and acting like mindless servings of food I feel it would be silly not to metion the children at this point. The children who turn on flashing lights so that the nearby dinosaur can definately see them. The chilren who need to be saved regularly by other, less stupid characters. The children who even when they have the brilliant idea to draw dinsaurs away from other characters with noise, execute it in a stupid way by drawing the dinosaurs to themself rather than thowing something as to make alot of noise that is not near them or indeed anybody. You'll resent those goddamn kids lemme tell you that for nothing (the asking price for all my worldly insights).
But complaints aside the movies are both well paced, intense, action packed and funilly enough believeable. I believed that dinosaurs really were feasting on people, especially in the second one which lends more special effects power so that the deaths are more explicit rather than implied. I must say I am a big fan of the second one with its increased violence, death toll and indeed Jeff Goldblum ratio. But then the second movie does something so stupid that it kinda wrecks it all. Within the last half hour of the movie the capitolst wanker character stupidly decides to take the T-Rex off the secluded island and bring it to the city, for the public to enjoy. Of course this is just Steven Spielberg setting up a completely dumb, destructive action aside that fails to serve the plot in any way at all. Sure it's kinda cool to see old Rex headbutt a bus and chase a crowd of Japanese through the streets BUT it came at a very large cost. All of a sudden I said to myself "hang on! Dinosaurs getting cloned from DNA? Frogs filling in the DNA gaps? Animal experts acting inexpertly? This can't happen, it's IMPOSSIBLE!" It is at this point the movie stops being immersive and believable and starts being just a plain ol' popcorn and coke movie. It's the point at which Spielberg coaxes the plot away from Michael Crichton's carefully crafted text and descides to go for a big blockbuster action copout wank. Sure it's cool and might even stimulate your need to see things obliterated but it's at the cost of all the subtlety both the movies had been working so hard at. In the first movie they withold the dinosaur action a fair bit at the start to built suspense. The characters drive past the pens wanting to see them but they aren't in view. Now here we have one smashing up shit in the middle of the city. The rampage itself leaves a lot of questions unanswered as well. Where the fuck is the army? Or some sort of city defence? They have a large preditor tearing shit up for about 20 mins and the only response is for the main characters to lure the animal back to the ship to trap it by using it's offspring as bait. For fucksake KILL IT! KILL IT BEFORE IT KILLS YOU! ARE YOU STUPID? THIS THING WANTS YOU ALL DEAD! STOP CARING ABOUT IT! IF YOU REALLY CARED ABOUT NATURE YOU'D KILL IT BECAUSE TECHNICALLY IT IS AN INTRODUCED SPECIES ANYWAY! THAT AND YOU SHOULD STOP CARING ABOUT NATURE WHEN IT WANTS YOU ALL DEAD!!!
Now that my 100th post is up I thought I'd just make a quick post in regard to upcoming content. The next few posts will all be movie reviews. Movies with Jeff Goldblum in them. I shall call it "An Evening with Jeff Goldblum" (I watched all these movies in a single evening/night) and it shall be great.
I have been toying and tinkering around with the idea of doing a 100th post celebration for a while now. At first I kind of thought I'd avoid that kinda thing as most things that celebrate their own existance tend to do so in a very boring way (think TV specials here). Besides celebrating a 100th post in this case implies that there are actual readers/loyal fans who are willing to join the celebrations...which I daresay there aren't. But on the other hand it's not everyday you're blog turns 100 (or whatever), which is the classic excuse everybody uses to cover up for the fact that they're about to jerk off, albiet creatively, in your face. So to avoid being too obtuse I decided the just make the 100th post a really big one comprised of many smaller semi-posts that each cover something I regularly post on. There's a bit of gaming commentary, a rant about something unsatisfactory, some special guest bloggers and even something brand spanking new and experimental that I've never done before (it's a video). Sounds kinda ok yes? Then let's get on with the show!
A Car Stereo Rant A dear friend of mine recently had a 21st that I had to travel to get to. I hitched a ride with another dear friend and we all had a simply amazing weekend. To quote Dave "this is the best!"
On the way up and back we wanted to listen to music, it being a fairly lengthy trip and all. But there was a problem with that plan. The car had recently had its battery changed or some shit and as a result the car stereo had been tricked into thinking it was stolen and the security lock out was triggered. So all we needed to do was enter the code...but we didn't have it. Apparently they were never told the code. So we spent a fair hunk of time punching in four digit numbers trying to guess the code. Of course we never unlocked it. But my point is what the hell is the point in these gay security lockouts? They just fuck the owners over. I mean say the stereo were stolen, I would not give a single shit whether it worked for them or not. I mean I'm not gonna see it again so it's meaningless to me whether the criminal underground can pump their tunes or not. It's not as though the thieves will go "aww shit, it don't work or nuttin' without the code, let's break into the car again and return it." All it does is guarantee that the owner will have to either memorise another fucking four digit number to add to the pile of four digit numbers that life requires of you these days or make lengthy phonecalls to automated machines and try and figure out if you push 1 for the product being broken or push 2 to enquire about their security policies. Fuck you car stereo manufacturers!
Approximate Game Length
I'm sure that many of you have noticed that on the back of DVD (and indeed VHS) cases they tell us approximately how long the feature film on the disk takes to finish watching. Sounds fair enough right? It's a good idea to let people know how much time they're going to have to invest in this thing. They might not have enough time to watch all 3 hours of The Fellowship of the Ring in one sitting. Now I just have one question to ask. Why haven't games been given the same treatment? Why can't I be given a rough idea how much time I'll be needing to invest before I see the game reach a conclusion? It's probably even more important for games because where movies range from about 90mins to 80 mins games can range from a few hours to over 60 hours. Some games are a massive investment and it'd be nice to have a heads up before embarking on such a journey. I realise there exist a few complications that make the actual length of a game a little more ambiguous than a movie. A movie's length is always the same whereas game length can be a bit iffy given different levels of skill aswell as sidequests and the like. But really though surely they can give us something? I can occasionally find stuff like this out on online forums and they've all been accurate. So if one guy on a forum can give an accurate stab at it surely the actual game studio could aswell? Just get some of the game testers to run through the main story and average it out or something. I can't be that hard and it would only make our lives easier.
And now ladies and gentlemen, give an exceptionally warm welcome to Hanna from B is for Blog who took time out of her busy schedule today to make a special appearance on the Infinite Possiblogities 100th Post Spectacular.
Weird Inventions 101
It has come to my attention that in the past being an Inventor held some sort of prestige in the Job World. There was a true discrimination against pointless inventions which were instantly recognised and tossed out like the rubbish they were.
In the old days people like Thomas Edison designed the light so that we would not burn through the candle supply faster than the church on Good Friday. They were truly respected. These days its not so tough. Magazines such as Innovations bandy about “new inventions” that, quite frankly, the world could do without.My good pal, Mr. B., has pointed out such horrid inventions one of his past blogs about the Sexy Egg Fryer. It ended up at Sam’s Warehouse; a liquidation store. Need I say more?
So here are just a few of the inventions that are weird, whacky and mildly amusing.
Weird Invention 1
The toilet flush sound effect button.
This invention’s sole purpose is to mask the sound of people pissing in public and private toilets. The reason for its creation? Japanese women were embarrassed to go to the bathroom as others could hear them whizzing and the blushing dames could not face coming out of the bathroom and facing their listeners. Possibly the way Allen Jones felt when the Chaser comes to call. Originally these bashful babes would flush the toilet before AND after doing number 1s. This caused massive concern about the amount of water being wasted; especially considering the population of Japan. My point here really is: Is the flush really less embarrassing than what’s filling to toilet? I mean, really? It’s essentially the same thing, water splashing into more water. Everyone knows what you’re doing in there! So why bother? I guess this invention is weird but not useless as if they’re going to do it anyway may aswell save the water for drinking.
Weird Invention 2
The Soup Bowl Side Fan
This was also invented in Japan. This is an invention that makes sense but seriously? How impatient is the world getting. Is it not more pleasant to make conversation (unless of course it is the kind where you wish your mouth would start bleeding and you could politely excuse yourself.)and wait politely for it to cool off? What’s the rush? I mean, how hot is soup anyway? It says on the side of the can to heat it to hot but not boiling so when I SERVE the soup it is at an ideal temperature for eating.
And then there is the over-cooling risk. What if the soup was at an unnaturally high temperature, by some weird coincidence? Then you turn the fan on and it starts cooling. What if you get distracted by the cute waitstaff and forget about the soup and it gets too cold? Then you have three options. Pay for the uneatable soup and don’t eat it. This option is ok but then you waste your money. You eat the soup. But let’s face it, cold soup is none too appetising. Option three: you send it back for re-heating and either it comes back too hot and the whole process starts again OR the cute waiter/waitress you were flirting with thinks you are a fussy customer and thinks you are too much trouble to bother with. Lose-Lose either way you look at it.
Weird Invention 3
Fundies
I first heard about the Fundies on a bus in year 8. We were young, naïve and desperate to show each other that we knew more about sex and sex related paraphernalia than the others in our grade. “Pat, do you like Fundies?” a boy yelled, provocatively. “I’m not going to say yes until you tell me what they are” was his reply. “It’s a G-banger” the first boy retorted. Pat said “I like them on women.” And the other boy shut his mouth. But the Fundies craze was begun. In recent times, however, I have discovered that Fundies are in fact one set of underwear for 2 people. They are a sex toy…Much more interesting than a boring old g-string, but much more useless. I’m not entirely sure what the point of them is aside from keeping your partner closer and less likely to fall out. If your partner can’t stay in by himself maybe there are other, more pressing issues you need to be addressing. It is also supposed to enhance sex. Now here is the issue. If it enhances sex, the pleasure is supposed to be greater, right? So, if the pleasure is greater then and your partner can stay in longer then he is more likely to climax quicker. Therefore the time saved on staying in is lost in the pleasure, leaving you just as, or more unsatisfied than the start.
In conclusion inventors these days are hard pressed to come up with something people actually need. Therefore they just market shit to the consumer so that they won’t have to go sifting through the classifieds looking for a real job.
What Infinite Possiblogities Means to Me.
Well, I guess you could say that Mr. B introduced me to the blogging world. Therefore it has some shit going on that I don’t see in other blogs that I think should be there. Like wit. I mean, occasionally I come across a blog that displays an equal amount of wit as his. These are blogs like, oh, I dunno, B is for Blog. But other than that none of the blogs I have read are really up to scratch.
It all starts in the title, as Mr. B. so aptly put it in his “Guide to Writing a Blog.”
His title, demonstrates in 2 words his wit and his intentions. Amazing.
The only other real thing that I have drawn from this wondrous blog is that porn is a funnier, weirder version of American Pie.

Mr. B's Top 5 Playstation 2 Games
I decided to include a Top 5 list of Playstation 2 games I've played through. There are definately other great PS2 games out there that aren't on the list but I can't list what I haven't played yet. I'm sure this little list will be of no interest, but here it goes. 5. Okami - A Zelda inspired adventure. Despite overstaying it's welcome and some repitition (I can't believe they make you fight the longest boss in the game 3 different times in exactly the same way each time. What's the fucking point?) it's still a high quality game worthy of attention. 4. Silent Hill 2 - One of my favourite stories ever told in a game. Creepy and subtle, it never settles for cheap scares and uses psychological elements to tell a story of guilt, punishment and loss. 3. Ico - Clever puzzles woven together with beatiful design and an ingaging, yet minimal story. Ico's legacy extends to the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time trilogy and even influenced the director of the movie Pans Labyrinth.
2. Final Fantasy X/Final Fantasy XII - I'm kind of cheating here giving two games the same spot, but I honestly can't decide which game is better. FFX has a far better story (especially the ending) where FFXII has better characters and exciting, reinvented gameplay. Play them both.
1. We Love Katamari - gay overtones, strong Japanese flavour and gameplay that revolves around rolling things in a ball. Who would have thought these components would come together in such an awesomely fun way?
What It's Really Like To Chew 5 Gum To get the full enjoyment out of this video I suggest familiarising yourself with the 5 Gum Commercials if you aren't already. Youtube has them. I'm chewing Cobalt flavour in case you care.
Fucking hell. Do I really sound like that?
Anyway That just about wraps things up for the celebrations. I have plenty more ideas and blogs will hopefully be much more frequent. Well then, the parties over guys. GET OUT!
Sorry, but there's not going to be much of an intro today. I hope you can keep up.
So the cafe at uni has recently had Austar installed and as I result I'm constantly exposed to the music channel known as Channel V. Seeing as how I see the damn show almost every day I thought I'd discuss Channel V and the current music scene in general. So here it goes.
First of all I don't understand the actual attraction of Channel V. What's the difference between it and the radio or an mp3 player? All it does is play the same garbage you can't help but hear every fucking place you go. Just as an example Channel V alone are likely to play certain songs no less than 5 times within 24 hours. If I have to listen to Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas one more time I think I'm going to flip out and murder someone (more on Black Eyed Peas later). In a world where you can listen to whatever you want whenever you want I'm surprised anyone still has time for music channels.
Channel V has this horrible obsession with Pink at the moment as well. They've got this competition running where Pink fans have to prove how devoted they are to Pink in order to win VIP tickets to Pink live. So far all they've proved is how boring and moronic they are. One girl actually just screamed on her vid. This other girl went into all this creepy detail about how she wanted to jump on Pink and hug her and touch her. Coming on a little strong there aren't we? Maybe you should hold off on the whole "I want to wear your skin" shit until after you got her tied up in your basement. And what's with calling Pink the greatest rock star on the planet? Since when? Did she suddenly become more talented overnight or something? Unless you mean another, far more desolate planet...then I MIGHT believe you.
Really though I suppose there's nothing exactly wrong with Channel V. It's using a formula that it's absolutely impossible to fuck up and I'm sure the people who like the music they play are perfectly happy to watch it. Which brings me to my main rant. Modern music is a little stale. I suppose I should say popular modern music because it would be unfair to group a multitude of talented musicians with the mediocre and shitty pop bands. The main problem I have is just how uninspired, predictable and manufactured it sounds. It succeeds because of market research as opposed to musical eptitude, creativity or talent. Just as an example the new Black Eyed Peas song Boom Boom Pow is about as vanilla as urban songs get these days. They make numerous claims in the song to be "very trendy and with it" but really all they're doing is pathetically trying to keep up with what everyone else is doing. Some simple rhyming couplets, a lazy semi-electro style beat, chuck in some product placements and then it's all aboard the auto-tune train for instant hit station. It's like if instant mashed potato was music and all you had to do was add your own name and vola, song made. Now don't get me wrong here, I'm not against auto-tunes or anything here. For example I thought Kanye's 808's and Heartbreak was an excellent album. But the thing is that Kanye put a lot of time and effort into that album. He had a vision and a passion for what he was doing and he went against the grains that he himself had helped to make great. It didn't sound as though his record label gave him a power point presentation showing what music was selling well. And really that's the crux of what I'm saying here. I can potentially like any genre as long as it's presented well. It might be interesting musically or vocally or it might have a great lyrical depth. It's hard to describe what kinda of music I like because I honestly don't know. But I can respect something unique, or even something that isn't unique but done really well. Not knowing what I'll be into next is an exciting adventure and I think that's how artists and record labels should treat their musical ecploits too. Then perhaps we'll start seeing some more fucking depth in this industry.
Have you ever thought about porn a little too much? I don't mean in the perverted, peeking into the girls change rooms kinda way. I mean in a logical kind of way. For example have you ever thought about how often pornstars get pregnant? I mean their job is to have (usually) unprotected sex on film. Surely with all the masses of porn constantly being made there must be some pregnancy flying around the place. The thing is you never see it though. It's the sex without any consequences...until now. Welcome to School Girl Internal, a porn site with a twist. Basically every plot involves a school girl having casual sex with a neighbour/teacher/football hunk/guy who just happens to be passing by but the twist is that they always end up pregnant. Here's what the site itself has to say...
"There's just something about schoolgirl snatch. Once that hydraulic young pussy clamps tightly around your bareback dick, there's just no getting out! Like a houseguest that gets too comfortable, your cock just doesn't want to leave. No matter what you promised about pulling out. No matter what logic dictates. Once your little head starts doing all the thinking, instincts take over and your dumbass dick won't want to bail till the job is interally done. Why does it have to feel so damn good? This is the question we're asking at SchoolGirlInternal.com!"
So I'm not really sure what they're getting at here. Are they trying to promote safe sex? Are they trying to describe how hot their actresses are? Are they trying to cater to a strange, impregnating school girls perversion? I have no idea. I watched a preview for one and it seems to treat the whole thing like a joke. That's right, let's all just laugh it up as we watch the guy running and screaming after receiving the news several months later. It even plays comical music and speeds up the reel. Aside from that though it's really just the same old routine as far as porn goes. A bit of this. A bit of that. Maybe a tiny bit of the other to cater for those few who are into it and then...Oh my god! It's hilarious. They actually act out the whole "coming inside them" scenario. It's amusing because it is clearly fake. Male porn actors are required to have strong control over that particular bodily function. I particularly love the half-arsed "oh oh OOOOh!" they put in to tell the audience "yes, I am coming now" and then poorly acted response "did...did you just come in me?"
So where am I going with all of this? I dunno. I guess I just wanted to rip on something stupid. In the end I don't really know what to make of it all. It's clear that the porn industry is struggling to come up with believable scenarios for porn and so are instead opting for semi-comedic, Ralph magazine type scenarios where women play a Wheel-of-Fortune game with different positions and what have you. I guess we've all been cracking jokes at porn for so long now that the industry has just gone "Fuck it! Nobody is taking us seriously. Let's just go with the flow and make funny porn."
P.S. Have I become a little too familiar with this industry?
Appologies once again for the recent inactivity on my blog. My uni exams are creeping up closer everyday and I fear having to repeat Geology (shudder). Anyway I'm taking a well earned break and I decided to review Daria.
Before moving away to do bigger and better things my good friend Lucy was generous enough to burn me dvd's with all the episodes of Daria on it (including the movies). So first I'd just like to publically thank Lucy for giving me such a wonderful gift (even though I'm certain she doesn't read my blogs anymore). Anyway so Daria is a cartoon series that MTV ran in the 90's as a spin off series to Bevis and Butthead. Daria is one of those curious shows that truely divides people in two. It's like avocado or anchovies. You either think it's the one of the greatest and most beautiful things in existance and it makes your life worth living or you think it is disgusting filth that you have nothing but absolute contempt for. I fall into the first group. I loved this show as a young adolescent and having come back to it I am able to appreciate it on much more complex levels than I ever could as a noobish child.
For those who've never seen Daria it's a show about a teenager called Daria and her life at school as she deals with a slightly disfunctional family, moronic and shallow peers and corrupted and downright mental teachers. Accompanying her through all this is her best friend Jane Lane and the dry and sarcastic witicism the two frequently exchange. It sounds like nothing much and many people have called it just that but really there's a complex soul to the show that makes it one of the most believable depictions of highschool life on the TV. Well developed characters and some truely sharp writing have helped to make this show shine. That and its soundtrack is brimming with 90's alternative music and the like. It's pretty much got it all really. There were times where I laughed so hard and times that I really felt a warm and fuzzy connection with the characters. Especially in the later episodes Daria herself comes across as a very sympathetic character. There's a touch of heart amoungst the black humour and satire that is capable of making you feel for the characters. Now after all that the show does have a few niggles. There is the odd episode in which the writers find themselves straying a little too far from home and into some very rough patches indeed. I found the musical episode to be particularly discomforting. But on the whole the show is pretty rock solid and deserves to be checked out, even if you don't end up liking it.
Now onto one other gripe I have that's not so much with the show itself as it is with the whole fucking world. I watched every episode of this show on windows media player in avi format that had been transferred from VHS at some point. It wasn't exactly a blu-ray type experience. Now the reason I had to do this is because Daria is one of those shows that has proven itself rather difficult to get released as a DVD set. There are many horrible legal and buisiness-like reasons for this such as all the copyrighted music it uses and shit like that and I gotta say it's fucked up. Here we have a fucking work of art and people can't even fucking buy the show because the world is a fucking red tape, greedy-ass, capitolist wasteland full of people who would rather squeeze every penny than contribute anything to better the world.
So just to sum up the general thrust of this here review. Daria is a brilliantly realised and executed show that never quite got the recognition it deserved and the human race is shit for both failing to recognise it's magnificance and holding it back from a DVD release with all sorts of greedy legal bullshit.
I was just in the uni cafe when Taylor Swift's 'Love Sotry' came on and gave me something to write about. For many years now I am constantly reminded of how people seem to misinterpret the Shakespearean play Romeo and Juliet. Taylor Swift is a prime example of someone with an, at best, loose understanding of the play and decided that she would focus all her artistic energy into appropriating the "love" aspect of this story.
What am I on about here? Allow me to elaborate. To briefly run over the general plot as most people seem to see it. Romeo and Juliet fall in love despite they're familie's violent rivalry and tragically die trying to run away together. It is forbidden love that is trampled by the pettiness of honour and blah blah blah. All very tear jerky and tragic right? WRONG!
Now here's the way I see it. Romeo and Juliet are a pair of sexually frustrated teens who have never set eyes on a member of the opposite sex before who isn't poor and dirty or related to them. So their hormones kick in and they think they're in love because they can't stop staring at each other from across the room and lusting after the attractive young specimen who apparently can't stop staring either.
Now just as an aside, let my cinicism squash any belief you have in "love at first sight" right here. It doesn't exist. How can it? Seeing a person who makes your heart skip a beat is lust, plain and simple. Love implies a deep understanding and respect between the couple (amoung other things). It's hard to pinpoint exactly what love is but I can tell you right now that it is far too complex for you to be feeling it after a mere 2 seconds of carnal thoughts. Now stop! Don't bother flooding me with your little stories about how you know some old couple who've been happily married for 60 years and love each other just as much as they did the day they met and blah blah blah. Let me suggest this to you. Man and woman meet and are mutually attracted. This mutual attraction tricks their brain into rushing in and buying into the love thing before having a chance to really think about it. Now more often than not this temporal love will not last. This belief in love at first sight is probably the second greatest contributing factor in the whole shotgun wedding scene right after alcohol. Now on a very rare occasion this initial love trick will manage to withstand the scrutiny of your brain well beyond the time of the initial lust. But enough about that and back to the story.
So Romeo and Juliet is a story more about the frivolous nature of youth and the way in which they fail to act rationally because they're too busy trying to fall in love with everything in a desperate attempt to inject some meaning into their cold, hollow and temporal existance. Here's a story of a guy and a girl who have the hots for each other and decide to betray their parents and get married within 24 hours of fist talking to each other. Then they die because they are just a bunch of stupid kids who come up with the flimsiest, success-proof plan that their sex addelled brains could come up with. They enlist the help of the local preacher whom is only to happy to marry off a bunch of kids before they just have sex anyway without gods approval and then they die because they are a pair of dramatic twits who fail to ever communicate properly. How is this a love story? If anything it's sceptical of the merits to the whole buisiness in terms of how it makes people behave like morons. So let me just say that if you plan on writing a love story that parallels this story you should do some throough reading and reflecting beforehand so that you know what you're getting yourself into.
