You know those phrases people use to describe movies as part of the rating, like scare moments, violence, drug scenes, etc? Well, there is one that really bothers me - thematic elements. Thematic is defined as “of, depicting, or constituating a theme”. Oh no, why would we want that in a movie! Shield your eyes children, movies containing actual plots and storylines are trying to infect your little minds! Call the police, call the pentagon, or more importantly, call the movie industry itself and tell it to keep all of its ‘dangerously thematic’ movies to the strickly 18+ audience.

A few days ago, my English teacher (yes, the one who was arrested in Mexico for who knows what) brought up a very interesting point about the phrase “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”. How can something so untrue just be accepted as the general standard? How can it be hammered into our children’s minds more often than “I’m lovin’ it”? Who came up with that phrase anyway? I think that they should see what it’s like to go through the mental abuse and hatred fired at some people every day.

Oh, I saw The Forgotten yesterday, and I must say I’m disappointed. Not because of the movie itself - I loved it. It had all of my favorite styles in it (I can’t say which or I would ruin the plot). If you look down a couple posts to the picture of the Revolution Studios logo, you may notice a similarity between the two pictures. Unfortunately, there is no meaningful connection. No conspiracy to drill the logo into our minds or anything of the sort. They probably just needed some graffiti, and someone based it off their dear old producer. Later,

I still don’t understand #m. Is it some type of thematic element, perhaps?
