minimalist posters (part 4)

If the previous set of posters were "girlie", I guess these would be "boyish", but no boy or action flick lover would be happy with that title! I just like things to match and be all lined up. Unofficially, these are the action flicks and one all-around beloved comedy.

Like the colors. All the characters, but still retains that simplicity.

This was a good movie and I like what they did with the poster.

I watched this opening night at a party. It was a little more violent and gory than I was used to, but Han Solo and James Bond! Sooooo....

I can't waaaiit!

So hilarious! I've heard this quoted my whole life.

minimalist posters (part 1)

I have recently discovered my love for minimalist posters. I love them! Some, naturally, are better than others, but the best convey the idea of the story, the main motifs, and the most important symbols in a simple manner.

I'm going to start off with posters for Lucas and Spielburg films.

Which is your favorite? Yeah, I'm asking you, James!
I'll be back with part 2 after a word from our sponsers...

Just kidding! I'll be around. ~billyBobbieJoey

[cool post title]

I can't decide whether or not there are enough hours in the day. Most likely, I just don't use time very wisely, as evidenced by the fact that I haven't posted a real post in forever. Anyway, I'm pretty well kept busy with homework, rehearsals, and work. I'm so sick of Comm. that I've worked my tail end off trying to get everything done with time to spare. In face, I'm about to head to the library to finish up this week's work.

I just finished reading A Tale of Two Cities, and liked it very much. That is, I liked how it ended, but not how long it took to get there! I'm also reading The Pilgrim's Regress by C. S. Lewis, which is good, but I'm afraid that 1/4 of it is going over my head, and 1984 by Orwell, which I also am greatly enjoying. That and The Giver both go to show you that Dystopian is not a new genre.

Why is it that I wake up ready to tackle the day on those days, few and far between, when I have absolutely no homework? My internal clock is in the Lazy Time Zone...

I took the Fandom Quiz! The first one represents the results from the 20 question quiz. The second is the other! I don't know all of these fandoms, so those don't really mean anything to me, but I'm generally happy with it! If you know me IRL, which one do you think best describes me?

The ones that really matter to me are Hunger Games, LOTR, Star Wars, Narnia, and Star Trek! Notice how much evil-er I am in the first one!

I seem to have run out of inspiration. My posts are few and far between, and they are all very similar. I don't write this blog just for you my readers, but I do want to keep y'all happy! What do you want me to discuss/review/talk about/bring up? Lemme know and I'll get around to it! Promise!

-billyBobjoe the... I was about to list all of those things and races, but decided against it because, well, because you can just read them up there!

4. Create eleven new questions for the people you tag to answer.
5. Go to their blog and tell them that you tagged them.
6. No cop-outs in the tagging section, like, "if you are reading this" or "if you follow me". You have to legitemately tag them!

9. I read The Hunger Games in four days.

10. I like everything about bananas, but don't like eating them.

11. I ate almost a half gallon of ice cream with a friend when I spent the night. We would've had more, but that was all they had!

Okay now, here are the questions and answers that came from James and Jacob, who tagged me:

1. Favorite Video Game

I don't play videos games. I would like to, but we don't have a system, and I would waste a ton of time!

2. Favorite Live Action Fiction TV Series (not comedies)

I also don't really watch tv, but I love White Collar. We stopped keeping up a while ago though. :*(

3. Have you listened to an audiobook? What was your favorite? (I'm paraphrasing!)

Yes, I've heard Around the World in 80 Days and Wind in the Willows on tape, yes tape. They were both good, but that was a long time ago.

4. Do you believe in Bigfoot, UFOs, or ghosts?

I pretend like I do! There might be something to Bigfoot. I don't believe that there is intelligent life on other planets. I do pretend to believe in ghosts and love ghost stories!

5. Favorite baseball team or sports team. (y'all ask such "guy" questions!)

My favorite sports team is the US Olympic Team.

6. What is your opinion of the LOTR trilogy?

It's the bomb and absolutely epic.

7. What's the best movie that you have seen in theater?

I haven't seen many in theater, so probably Captain America.

8. Do you like or dislike the Star Wars prequels?

I like them. They're not as good as OT, but the TPM is what I grew up with. I don't hate Jar Jar either!

9. What movie quote do you use most often in normal conversation?

That's not an answerable question. I don't think most people would believe how often I reference movies. I would love for someone to count someday... if that were even possible

10. Do you like or dislike older movies in general? (before 1980)

Love 'em! I love the oldies!

11. Marval or DC?

I don't know. I haven't seen many superhero movies, but probably DC just for Batman!

Okie dokie. Here are my questions for you to answer! If I tag you! I feel such power.

1. What's your favorite soft drink?

2. Beach or mountains?

3. Do you randomly break into song out loud?

4. What could you eat forever and never get tired of?

5. Who would you like to get stuck in an elevator with for five hours?

6. What color socks are you wearing?

7. What are you most afraid of? Really terrified of?

8. Have you ever dissected a frog?
9. If you made up a number, what would it be?
10. What do you collect?
11. Do you have a pet?

I tag Sophia, Olivia, and Bre. Really, this is annoying, because most everyone has done this tag already. Oh well. Don't tell anyone, but you, yes you, can do this even if I didn't tag you!

my costume

So this was my costume for a movie themed party! Do ya like it?

The dress was a friend's, the gun was a friend's, and my sister did my hair! I'm so self-sufficient.

My messy room...and the costume!

That's a weird face... but the real DL44!

Isn't it gorgimous? Even when messy?

So, yeah, I was Princess Leia! I won Best Star Wars Costume, which really isn't that pathetic. There were three Star Wars costumed people.

Are you gonna see TPM in 3D? I sure hope I am, but don't know when. I'm not a fan of 3D, but wasn't old enough to have experienced any SW in theaters, so this is a must.

~Leia

PS - I typed "Leila" before "Leia" both times. :) You know who you are!

I'm a little late...

....to be cluttering your Dashboard up with 2012/New Year's Eve stuff, but I am anyway!

I am, for some reason, super excited about this year. 2004 and 2008 were good years for me, so I wishing on a comet that this one will be too!

I didn't make any resolutions, except to drink more water. I don't like water at all, and often get headaches from dehydration. Oh well, I'm working on it.

I have a bunch of things that I'm excited about too! Here are a few:

002. Turning 16

003. Finishing Sophomore year

004. Starting Junior year

005. Getting a job

006. Getting a driver's license (working on this one!)

007. Going to CA to finally visit my friend

008. The Dark Knight Rises

009. Star Wars in 3D (because I wasn't old enough to see them in theater)

010. The Hobbit Part 1: An Unexpected Journey

011. The Hunger Games (not totally sure because I haven't read the books)

012. The Avengers

013. White Collar Season 3

014. Being in Bye Bye Birdie

015. Learning to play guitar

016. Growing (it's a serious hope!)

017. Traveling

018. Being in a food fight (I think the best food fights are spontaneous, but I seriously am looking forward to it, whenever it may take place)

019. Dying my hair (only part of it)

020. Learning a new language

What do you think? These are only a few! What are you looking forward to?

-bBj

PS 021. Looking forward to the end of the world. Major sarcasm. :)

Boots of all types

So we all love boots, right? I like to wear them personally, but not as much as I like to look at them! It's almost funny how many different types there are. There are girly boots with pompoms, pirate boots, cowboy boots, and many others. Here are my favorites that I can think of or find pictures of! I know you're going to take them even if I say not to so... Feel free to steal these pictures! :)

Here are Batman's versatile boots (and entire suit!):


Here are the Han Solo boots of cocky-ness:


Flynn Rider's cool boots, unfortunately in a very un-manly pose:


This next one is my desktop background right now! (I think I stole this one):


IRL cool boots! Hope to wear some similar ones in my career!:


Jedi boots!:


Narnian boots!:


Pirate boots:
