The Summer Movie Rush Is Upon Us

by MartinFister on Apr.25, 2009, under Movies

As you’ve probably picked up by now, I love movies. So, every summer, the studios throw everything they’ve got at us and every summer, I bite just about every time. Last summer had the heavy hitters with Dark Knight and Iron Man. Looking at this summer here’s what I’d like to hit up.
May 1: X-Men [...]

The Soloist IS Resurrecting the Champ?

by MartinFister on Apr.23, 2009, under Movies

So I love movies, but since I don’t always have time to watch them, I usually sate myself by watching trailers. When I had Netflix, I watched a ton of trailers, trying to figure out what movie I wanted to receive next. One movie that really piqued my interests, though I never was able to [...]

25 Things About Me Post

by MartinFister on Feb.16, 2009, under Literature, Movies, Music, Writing

So I’m breaking the mold here to do one of those 25 things about you posts that have been going around on Facebook. I didn’t want to do it on there since I wouldn’t know who to tag and feel awkward trying to target people to do it for. I thought it would be a neat challenge to try and as an after note, it’s a pretty tough activity. I started struggling at the end but think I was finally able to pull through. Anyways, here’s my list!

  1. I am a person of extremes. Most of the time I’m either very happy or very sad.
  2. I hate being alone and I hate being in groups. I live for one on one interaction.
  3. If I wasn’t in computer science, I would probably have been an English major.
  4. I had never had alcohol before three weeks ago, and I’ve never had coffee.
  5. I love R&B music, Tony Rich is my favorite artist by a long shot.

This message is again, inspired by the movie Yes Man, similar to my earlier post about its inspirations in my writing. However, it’s most recent inspiration came from my LA interviews.

While interviewing candidates for the position of learning assistant at my school, each candidate shocked me. When they came into the room, my partner and I would offer the candidates tea. Now the surprising part is that in every case, the candidates ACCEPTED.

Of Asphodel, That Greeny Sense of Secrecy

by MartinFister on Jan.18, 2009, under Movies, Social

So this post has been on the top of my list three times now, and I’m finally going to post it. I’ll work my way back though into its first motivation.
The reason I’m posting it now is because of an experience I had the other day. I was with some friends, when friend A asked [...]

Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda – Acceptance

by MartinFister on Jan.11, 2009, under Movies, Social

I recently saw the movie Valkyrie, in which Tom Cruise played the role of a bad ass man with an eye patch who led a plot to assassinate Hitler and take over Germany from within. Since history stands as proof here, I think it’s okay if I spoil the ending and reveal to you that [...]
