Why is it that after an hour of playing Pokemon, I get the feeling the Pokecenter is going to call Pokemon Control on me?
Trollhunter
Norway has their fair share of Faerie tales. But none are as brutal and bloodthirsty as the monstrous Troll. From their putrid odor to their colossal size, they are a horrifying force to be reckoned with. And with that in mind, André Øvredal paints a dark shadow over the beautiful land of his country. The decay and destruction of the landscape is described as trails left by the elusive creatures through the eye of a handicam. The story follows a group of young adults seeking to document the hunting of wild bears in the forests of the night, but are quickly sidetracked by a sketchy poacher whose fame sticks them to him like glue. Unbeknownst to them is that he is hunting something far more dangerous than any bear they would ever encounter.
The filmmaker uses the handicam to solidify the reality of this journey for us as the viewers, and he does it quite well. Even when we finally get to feast our eyes on the Trolls themselves, the special effects (which are really quite impressive) don’t deter us from the reality of it all. With the slightly grainy look through the camera, the beasts look all TOO real at times. Of course, I am not one to pick apart detail errors in CGI anyway. My only real criticism is that the movie was very slow paced. Normally, movies like this are perfect for that stretch, but it needs to be filled with suspense and/or character depth. Though the film definitely was suspenseful, there was a lot of aimless wandering and rehashing of very similar dialogues. But don’t get me wrong, this didn’t keep me from enjoying the film as a whole. In fact, I had a bloody great time watching it even at the ungodly hour I chose to do so.
TrollHunter is an adventure that is worth taking. If you don’t mind foreign films and can keep focused on both subtitles and the action on screen, I definitely recommend it. But, I will say this now, if you did not enjoy movies like Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity, or movies that take away from your typically shot flicks, this might be one you want to delve in carefully.
4/5 Shattered Trolls
Tumblr, I have failed you
Dearest Tumblr,
All of my hopes and dreams for you have been left in a puff of smoke. I created you in hopes of witty, thought provoking and downright ridiculous creations but am left with a mere reblog machine. I feel like you are a neglected pet or Promethean. If I keep this up, who knows what kind of horrific beast you will turn into? So, I asked myself:
“Self, if all that people had to remember me was my Tumblr, what would they think of me?”
And what did I get in return? Silence. And not the cool “We are the Silence and we are going to motherfucking kill you, Doctor.” Silence either. Just a big blob of nothing.
(At this moment in time) I want to make something of this hellion! I want to fly it around the internet like a Luck Dragon on crack. But how do I do this? Do I create my own Rage Comics and talk like an internet douchebag? Or maybe post a lot of GPOY or whatever the hell internet skanks like to do for attention?
I guess what I’m asking is simply, how can I turn this page into something original in a world where originality is more or less dead?
…I will find a way. If not, at least the people of this theoretical future will think of me and say, “He tried to be awesome. He just wasn’t.”
