The Bears lost to the Minnesota Vikings last weekend which made me rethink about how the NFC North is still undecided. I believe that the Bears can still pull off a NFC North Championship due to the fact that the Vikings have to play the Cardinals and the Giants with their last 4 games while the Bears play Jacksonville and Green Bay(Yes, you were ridicuously overrated this year!)
Since this blog has been a project for my class, ENGL 313 (Computers in the Study of English) I feel that with one of my last blogs I should write about a topic that I feel affects me the most. To start off, I do not want to discuss how the blog project was a failure, I think that it worked but it may be outdated (This is a fun post, I’ll end here), but how a great idea was completely ruined over the last few days.
This is a complete 180 degree shift from what I originally talk about, but this needs to be discussed. To reveal a little bit more about who I am, I LOVE to play video games. I actually own a Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 and play them regularly when I’m not working on college assignments. Which brings me to my main point about a movie coming out in 2010, I’m talking about Prince of Persia.
Recently, Jerry Bruckheimer (yes, the guy who ruined Pirates of the Caribbean 3) has decided that he is doing a video game adaptation of Prince of Persia. Don’t get me wrong, I love this idea, Prince of Persia would make for a great movie, but I was disappointed about who they chose as the Prince, Jake Gyllenhaal.
Mr. Gyllenhaal is a person that everyone remembers as the guy who goes crazy after a vision of a plane crashing in Donnie Darko, but since then, his sister has made better material by just acting horribly in The Dark Knight. Which brings me to my main points:
1. Jake does not look Persian, but I guess that doesn’t matter since Mr. Bruckheimer can throw in some explosions that will make us forget entirety about his bad acting.
2. The movie will suck. Everyone knows it will. It’s like casting John Travolta to play the alien overlord in Battlefield Earth (We all know how that worked out), but yet, I will still see it in order to criticize every aspect of it. I have played the first 3 Prince of Persia games and I am looking forward to finishing the 4th installment of the game over break (I got finals to worry about right now) but Jake Gyllenhaal? WTF? I died a little bit inside. I’d rather see Sylvester Styllone play Link in an adaptation of The Legend of Zelda, It’s almost impossible to mess up that series.
