School.

Well, it's already the last day before you guys begin college. Good luck everyone! The rest of high schoolers like me and Maggie start next next Tuesday, September 4th. Also, what's up with the new dress code? "White Polo and Dark Bottoms"? -What the f@#$?

winter break

Bill: lets see this little movie called the golden compass or enchanted (just kidding) next week. tell me what u guys think
way u are suppose to keep updating this blog and let us know how its going in bergtraum.

Wil: What?! You guys (I mean Bill) actually want an update on Bergtraum? Nothing ever special or important ever goes on in Bergtraum. Golden Compass vs Enchanted? Both movies are for little kids, in my opinion. Anyhow, Bill has requested to watch a movie Thursday, and Cheng and Nick have a test on the basics of Excel that day around 1:30, if I can remember correctly. So, we'd have to plan around that time slot in order to avoid it. And my name is Matt, by the way!

Wil: Given Bill's narrow parameters, i.e. AMC theaters only (check), around the times of 4-5pm (nearly check) and dinner afterwards (pending!). Also I don't think any guy would enjoy watching Enchanted nor The Golden Compass.. any guy who's over 15 anyway. Not that if Bill would enjoy it, says anything about him.. just that the majority of the party would not. FYI, I only know how to get to the theater on 34th st. The IMAX one at Lincoln Square should be easy too, but I don't know about the other 2 AMC theaters. Bring your own money!

ps: I was only kidding about before =)

Bill: thursday at 3:30pm at empire 25 AMC theatre meet in the lobby

Original Date and Time: 12/23/07 12:31 AM

Show Times Available:

Here. Depending on who's going, the time we're setting for is probably 5:40pm.

Friday, August 24th 2007

[?] Hey. . Don't blame me Bill. I was the one originally concerned over the 1408 issue. If people actually think 1408 goes in second place, then people have a bad sense of perception. And I couldn't help but laugh-out-loud since you sound so serious with your examples of pandemonium.

[?-1] There is an inconsistency in your story Cheng. You see back when there was only 1 vote for the Simpsons (now 2), you had told me that you had voted for the Simpsons and Transformers, each once. . I too had voted, but much earlier than you had. I voted for the Simpsons, Transformers and Live Free or Die Hard using 3 different browsers, which due to my lack of knowledge only allowing me 3 votes maximum. How could you have voted for Simpsons if there was only 1 vote while I had voted already as soon as I created that poll? So odd.

update3: Who the hell keeps voting for 1408? I bet it's you, Cheng. . just to piss me off huh? 1408 was supposed to be a horror movie but I do not believed it delivered. The only frightening thing about the movie was me sitting next to Jeffrey and watching him jump out at the loud noises; I don't blame him, they were incredibly ear-shattering. 1408 only had 2 votes prior, but now has 6.

update2: Apparently the poll distortion is to be expected since it's a new function on Blogger. However, I don't know if the rest of you are having trouble viewing the poll at times. + Who the hell voted for 1408?

update: Well I personally thought Transformers was most entertaining. But seriously, I wonder how the vote count got up so high, there's less than 10 of us I think (not bothering to actually count). Also there's some funny stuff in Chuck and Larry and License to Wed, but I do agree it's far from being good or okay (and how is okay not a word?)

Since Davendra has requested for Friday the 24th, that will be official day the event for the movie War will be planned for. Everyone should be aware of this if you are planning on going. Also the theater will be the on at 34th Street. Haha I know this is all getting old. Again, we shall meet at the mall I suppose. As of the moment, I am unable to view showtimes for the movie almost a week away and got this message in my failed attempt "This movie opens on Friday, August 24. Showtimes are not yet available" from a stupid-looking paper puppet. However, the intended time-frame is set for some time after 5:00pm. Blame Fandango's stupid mascots. I do wish most if not all of you can make it to this supposed final event. As always, bring money.

Upon Davendra's request:

He had asked before if we would go see the movie War starring Jet Li and Jason Statham, premiering next Friday August 24th. I had heard you guys start school the following Monday after that Friday; how unfortunate and lame. I know most of you guys are probably tired from seeing all the movies already (for those of you who even came) but this is probably the last time for anything, though I did say that last time. Since it premieres next Friday, those of you who wish to come along have 3 days considering Saturday, Sunday as well; pick a day, as this wasn't idea for a movie, but I'll go along with it anyway. So far, I can be sure I'll go and since it was Davendra's idea, I'm sure I can count him in as well. The rest of you guys must decide for yourselves.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention Devon Aoki is in the movie too, but she probably has a small role. Just wanted to mention her. . cause ya know. =D

I can't wait for Bill's over-criticism of this movie as his excuse for not wanting to go.

"After all we've been through. . Rush Hour 1, Rush Hour 2, how can you say that?"

response2: Bill, I personally think that Rush Hour (3)'s humor surpasses the Bourne Trilogy's sense of action. Though I do agree that most of Rush Hour's scenarios are really ridiculous, the Bourne movies are not without impossible technicality flaws as well. I sort-of fell asleep during Bourne Ultimatum (there were some parts of the movie where they kept on talking and all I hoped for was for them to hurry things up and get to the point). However, during my second time seeing Rush Hour 3, I wanted to take a rest for the majority of the movie, but ending up watching it all over again from beginning to end; somehow the movie caught my attention, surprisingly for the second time anyway. But yes, I don't know who'd disagree with this, but it seems to me that Rush Hour3 is a purely a comedy movie that happens to involve some action.

response: No I did not feel the movie was completely boring. It lacked a complex plot yet had humor to help balance things out. However humor alone just won't cut it, therefore the movie was certainly not one of the best. Who expects it to be anyway?

Hey I've just seen Rush Hour 3 today. The plot was incredibly basic, the supporting character wasn't that pretty but it did have a lot of humor. That was basically it.

In any case, I will be planning this for the group for tomorrow at 10:00am at AMC 34th Street 14 theater. It has to be early because Jason sucks. Tell me you want to come. If not, then oh well. Also same meeting spot @ 9-9:30am and bring enough money.

Who's Tifa? (It was Talha's stupid joke)

Update4: I did not delete your comment Cheng, I have not deleted anyone's comment so far. That comment Bill made (This post has been removed by the author.) was just his joke if you couldn't see through that. On another note, it's really funny that you think you can't say a word like 'hell' here, or do you just find something wrong in saying that word?

Update3: That statistic was from Ms. D herself in an email. However Bill's comment was entirely off topic, for he should have created an entirely new post. Your responding to said comment just adds to the "off-topic-ness."

update: It was Talha.

update2: I'm so pissed off now. Why you say? It's because as I've explained to some already is because it brings back bad memories, memories of which have no relevance to this traumatic and very gay event. (No my memories weren't gay, only this was!). Why don't I ever have recurring good memories, what the hell?

The stupid conversation has been moved here.

Rush Hour 3

I do not know how many of you are actually anticipating this movie, but I'd like to form a group and see this. I already know that some of you may not want to see this movie, but we all should attempt to come since this will probably be the last movie event for this summer. This may as well be the last event for anything actually since there aren't many ideas or things for us to take part in, or at least want to. I'm aiming for Saturday since the rest of you (except Nick and maybe Bill) have to work on Friday, which takes half the day away already. But there's no point of having a full day on Saturday if some of you get tired easily.

Tomorrow

After much frustration on my part, due to overheating and also talking to you guys, here is the plan for tomorrow:

AMC Loews 34th Street 14, 11:15am ~ ends [1:06pm]?

From what I heard from you guys yesterday, it'll consist of Bill, Cheng, Davendra, Nick, and me (Wil) in alphabetical order for some odd reason. Also, I don't want to have to remind you to bring enough money for yourself and whoever you want to care for. I will be there earlier to buy the tickets and you guys will have to pay me later. As to what to do after the movie, it seems like there is nothing so I guess we depart from there.

oh yeah, I almost forgot to set up our meeting arrangement. Since it starts at 11, I say we meet at the Manhattan Mall (again) at 9:30am.

The Bourne Ultimatum

I am actually considering maybe a weekend for this movie instead of this Friday. Surprisingly, even I have things to do but I can manage it if you guys want to go first day. What are your thoughts?

FYI, I am in attempt to invite other. . unexpected. . people to come along with us.

update: good night and sleep well to whoever may be reading this at the moment.

Final month of movies

Updated! Check end of post. (2)

August is nearing soon and so is the final month for the summer movies.
I recently found a site about all the movies that will be coming out in the month of August here. The only movies that slightly interest me are The Bourne Ultimatum and Rush Hour 3 (just for the laughs).

As planned I am intending to watch The Bourne Ultimatum first day it comes out. That has been my plan for every other movie that I was interested in. August 3rd is yet again a Friday; I do not know how convenient that may be for any of you. I've yet to choose a theater where we would watch it, but I'll leave that up to the majority. As always bring money for yourself and whoever you wish to care for.

In any case, I'd like to remind everyone about Maggie's inquiry in the previous post. I'd advise everyone to at least consider coming along with Maggie for the sake of the experience.

response: Yes that would be a good idea. However, first we must decide on the theater as well as determine how many people will be coming.

response2: If no one else is going to say anything about the event I'm going to assume that the rest of you are all willing to accept Bill's suggestion. The AMC Loews 34th Street 14 theater at 7:05pm August 3rd 2007 seems to be the plan of choice. Now I need to know who is going. Also, we need to meet earlier and head to the theater in the hopes of getting there with much time to spare, that way we do not have to worry about seating.

phillie, anyone?

anyone wants to go to phillie with me, to visit u penn?
i know, phillie should be spelled with a 'y', but i like my 'ie's... =p
it'll be fun! and i'm thinking about aug. 14; i'm good to go after aug 10, yay! awesome... lol
so, anyone? anyone? i need company... lol
and it'll be fun!!! lol

dammit who's coming?

ok who the bloody hell is coming to the simpsons movie this friday july 27?
if you are coming say so with a reply to this msg thing
o yea if you bringin outsiders post it up too

This Friday.

Updated! Check end of current post.

It is the intention that I will go see The Simpsons Movie on it's opening day. With that in mind along with the fact that most of you won't be free till after 5pm, I have decided I am to attend the 8:15pm show at the AMC Loews 34th Street 14 theater; we can not go any earlier for there won't be seats. The movie is 1 hour and 27 minutes (87 minutes) and by calculating the start time along with the duration of the movie, we should be out by 9:42pm if things were exact. But they're not, so I'll just say approximately 10pm. As you all should know, it is $11.00 per ticket, so it's only obvious to bring enough money for yourself, not just for the ticket but also to cover other expenses such as food.

I understand that we all can not act as a single group or unit and therefore I am to also understand that not all of you will be able to make it to this event. Whether it is either out of the late show time or even financial issues, whatever the reason I suppose that it can't be helped if you simply do not agree with this plan. This is the plan and if you have another suggestion then your proposal will be considered for another time and day. In addition, please refrain from discussing about matters irreverent to the matter at hand, i.e. other movies for another day. Those issues will be dealt with when the time comes.

As noted, we do not act as a single unit and therefore I probably shouldn't treat this subject with the concern for all of its members, rather focused on only those who wish to be involved.

Also since I can not fully ask for your cooperation with this event, I suppose I can look elsewhere for those who are a bit more willing to come along. I do actually have this one person in mind, but I highly doubt that she will be able to join in. It's sad since I rarely have the chance to hang out with her nowadays.

On another note, there are 3 episodes of Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu at the very end of this blog. You all should give them a try if you've never heard of it. I especially like the character of Sousuke Sagara; he's rather funny with all his weapons. And if anyone points any relevance to this show and Virginia tech, well I don't find that funny.

(Kaname Chidori, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu)

That is all for now.

response: Unfortunately Bill, you are mistaken. That girl I was referring to is not Maggie. However, since you brought her up, there's a slight that chance that Maggie might want to meet with this girl. If you want to ask why, then you might as well get to know who she is first. Too bad, there won't be any such option.

Hey..

I'm just here to ask if all of you can fork over a picture of yourselves so that way I can make a collage of photos of the "group." If you're too self-conscious of your pictures or the way you look (not that you should be), you don't have to worry cause I can use Photoshop to edit the crap out of it. I'm really aiming to change it to something that looks animated, so your pictures would look as if it was drawn/ painted. This is just a small project that I would work on if all (or most) of you like to participate. If you don't, then well I guess it can't be helped and on to the next phase.

reminder: Prior to this post, don't forget to keep Cheng's post in mind and to reply and submit the information of his inquiry so that way we can know what's up for this upcoming Friday 27 07.

response: Yes Jeffrey and Davendra can view this blog.. especially since I took the restriction off when it made me log in every time I wanted to edit. That was a pain in the ass so I unrestricted it. Consequently, the vote count has increased. *sigh. Shut up Bill. No talking about Maggie that way.

About Nex week?

While nex week, we (Wil, Nick and I) are thinking on going to see the Simpson movie. I don't know bout rest of the gang. Tell me whether you want to go, preference as in friday or weekend, in which theater?

edit: Hey Maggie, we were all very sorry that you couldn't make it today. -Matty? Yes I know, Matty sounds like Maddy (or Maddie), which is a girl's name.

response: I'm sorry to inform you but those times are the most appropriate times to ensure the event does not go to ruins with improper planning combined with poor timing and lack of foresight on how things will turn out.

Tomorrow July 21 07

We meet at the Manhattan Mall at 10am. I will be at the corner entrance of the mall on the street level (not train level). Then half of us will go see Chuck and Larry, i.e. Cheng, Nick and Me. The other half, Jeffrey, Bill and Davendra will go see Harry Potter. According to Bill, our movies end at the same time. After that, maybe museum? but then again Bill is mentioning a frisbee. I do not know for sure what we will be doing afterwards. Maggie and I are having a talk about whether or not will she be with us tomorrow; she's completely ambivalent on the matter. So if she does come, don't be surprised nor will you treat her badly.

response: I do not know about Roy. That's Davendra's buddy so you should ask him. Also asked prior, I have not asked Alex because of personal reasons of my own. I do not hate him or mind if he comes along, but someone else will have to invite him if they do so wish it.

response2: That guy isn't lost, anyone but me can still invite him. My reason is that it's hard for me to allow someone that has a problem with Maggie to be around her.

response3: Someone who doesn't seem to like Maggie? That is "un-x-septi-bull" in the words of Bill (I think he would say it like that at least). See you all tomorrow, hopefully.

Concerning what to do after the movie.

I think Bill suggested that we go to the Museum of Natural History (actually it was Jeffrey + Davendra). I think that sounds boring to be honest, what do the rest of you think? Well my only real idea is to have some fun by playing some sport in the park. Don't have to listen to me of course; nobody ever does.

update: What we will be doing after is up for question still. We will decide something that is acceptable among the group of us. If we are not 100% sure about what to do, we will yet again split up and do what we want in our respective groups.

Saturday July 21

Just to be clear, if we are going to see the 10:40am movie, then we should meet up at 10am, like Bill suggested.. The problem is that I don't have a suggestion for the meeting area; the theater? I wonder if that'll be a problem for any of you who might get lost. The movie is about 2 hours, so 10:40am show ends at 12:40, and 11:40am ending at 1:40. I don't know what we'll do after, but I suppose I'm not the right guy to be suggesting anything for you guys.

update: That's an E in the middle of the heart, along with a dot. It is not an U nor a W.

Jeffrey's secret; not much of a secret.

Apparently the majority of us believes that the girl Jeffrey was referring to (during 1408 movie) does not exist. It does make sense if that's the case. Really.

Chuck & Larry this Saturday.

Hey!
This is supposed to the first post on the new site for the group. Well I don't have much to say here except that our next upcoming event is this Saturday July 21, 07. It seems that we are going to see I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry at the AMC theater at 34th Street during the AM hours; according to Bill, it'll only cost $6.00. Of course, bring more money than that so you can fully support yourself =D.

ps: Jeffrey owes $5.

update: AMC Loews 34th St As you can see from the link, the earliest time there is 10:40am, followed by 11:40am. Those seem to be the only 2 options we have for the AM anyway.

update2: Also, I am not buying breakfast/lunch for you guys. Nick is wrong.

update3: Oh my god, Maggie.. how could you?
