Honestly....sooo glad I didn't pay to watch this

A movie about love...not really more like a film about New York, okay I don't got shit all for an introduction can we just move on to the damn movie?

Surprisingly this doesn't paint New York as a magical city, where everyone is happy regardless of the violence, pollution and traffic. Josh Radnor (Ted from How I Met Your Mother) wrote this, I think, almost exclusively to show how New York can gobble up people whole, chew them out for 10-15 years and then spit them out to New Jersey. 

You definitely get a cynical feeling from the writing, which is exactly what I thought I needed right now instead of all the happy go lucky stuff, but by the end of it your like "OMG I NEED SOME HAPPY GO LUCKY STUFF" it's not even that sad it's just so incredibly mundane.

All the female characters suck (both on a personal level and on a story telling level) with the exception of Kate Mara's (tee hee Mara from Persona 3) character, Mississippi, who is cute and fragile and mysterious and she's not that good either but she had me smitten by the end of it.

All the male characters on the other hand...well there were four male characters all together:
Sam: A more cynical Ted, who doesn't like helping people anymore but he still does it cause it secretly makes him feel good, any notion of romance is gone from the outside but Ted is still in there romancing away...he reminds me of me...except in like 10 years

Long Haired Guy: Has a bitch for a girlfriend who's holding him back but is such a cool guy he doesn't even really mind

Guy That Showed Up For A Total Of Five Minutes To Show How Stupid One Of The Female Characters is: He's played with real depth...

Samtwo: Ohhh Samtwo, the fucking BEST part of this movie. A man with such persistence and such undeniable romancing prowess (thats right FUCKING PROWESS) that by the end of the movie you love this man with all your heart and just wish to be even a fraction of the awesomeness he is. If there's ANY reason to watch this movie it's Sammotherfuckingtwo

In the end the movie gave me a feeling of reinvigoration. That made me want to get up and live life again and visit downtown Toronto and all that great stuff, but that feeling is short lived and you realize that you will never want to watch this movie ever again, it felt (much like this blog post) cut up and at the end you feel like you've accomplished nothing, the only positive aspect is that the writers kept it mercifully short (see what I did there >_<)

I'd recommend this movie to people who are tired of cliches...you'll get the joke after you watch it....but you'll kind of like it trust me.

First Product Review: The Sony Cybershot DSC-W530 (I think...)

BEN-TOOOOO

Alright guys so I've been kind of having an all day panic attack today, I'm afraid that all the stupid decisions I made in China are going to catch up to me...and while we're on the subjects all the stupid decisions I've ever made in my life are totally going to catch up to me and I'm going to end up broke, in a box on the street doing the one card trick everybody knows for money and I'll still be a virgin THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN ON ME MAAAAN O_O...so maybe it's best we just drop it and get to the product review, okay guys? I TOLD YOU TO FUCKING DROP IT ^_^

So the Sony Cybershot....alright I'll give you a minute to process how awesome of a name the Cybershot is even if it is just for the fact that it sounds like an attack from Digimon...or Beyblades...and early Yugioh...alright processed?...okay one more minute...good now let's get to it:

For $120 Canadian at Best Buy:

Battery Life:
This was huge to me because my previous camera ate up batteries like a mother fucker, and it wasn't rechargeable. I set out to find a camera with a lithium sort of battery and that's exactly what the cybershot provided, it gets better in my 25 or so days I spent in China I only charged it once...maybe twice MAX that's with low to moderate usage (leaning more towards moderate because I ended up with 560 pictures...)

Picture Quality: It's actually really good. You can't really zoom in once it's on the computer, but the overall quality of the picture is fantastic and was able to take landscape shots on the top of the mountains better then I imagined it could. And while you think certain details are being missed on the camera (such as a setting sun on a misty day) once you put it onto the computer you find those details to be there (at least of what I experienced)

I took this picture at the start of the Great Wall called the Dragon's Head (btw there is no actual dragon's head there...I was disappointed to...) look at it....LOOK AT IT O_O

Performance:
Here's where the camera fell a bit, I found it was really slow, like it could take pictures fast but their would be a pause to then load that picture onto the screen and take it off in order to take another pictures, this made the burst mode necessary in some instances where I needed to take action shots, and sometimes made taking people pictures awkward, I also noticed that sometimes the pictures would seem blurred I'm sure that was from my hand moving but I think most digital camera don't blur that much, it also couldn't take pictures of giant tv screens in the airport...I don't know if thats important or not but I felt it needed to be said...Sometimes I felt that it took two or three tries just to get a picture focused and when I got home I found some of the pictures I took did turn out a little blurry without me even noticing it at the time (so I guess that could have been an Asaya problem rather then a Cybershot problem)

External:
With a very sleek look it gives off the impression of an expensive camera without the price tag (can you believe Sony isn't paying me for this?) the weight was also lighter and more compact than the other cameras I've had. The only real problem with the outside appearance isn't even part of the camera itself but with its cord it connected the vga cord (or whatever the red, yellow, and white cable that connects to the tv is called) the microusb, and the regular usb into on giant cord that couldn't fit into a small camera bag like the one I had so it wasn't ideal for travelling regardless though I felt it was a minor issue and ended up transferring all the pictures when I got back from China anyways which was a simple process of connecting going into the DCIM folder and copying the pictures (maybe there was a program to do that I don't know but thats what I do with all my cameras...and it works)

And that's it in the long run a very, very worth while buy and if you've been betrayed by digital cameras a lot over the past decade I definitely recommend it for a budget under $200 because this camera is never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down (most of the time), never gonna run around, and dessert you, never gonna make you cry, never gonna say good bye, never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Coco Break,
