The whole month (October) has been planned out.

That's right, I have planned every single movie I'm about to see. And unlike last time, I didn't check every single trailer, mainly because I can't see all the movies I would find amazing based on the trailer. I just checked trailers of the movies that interest me. I will see a movie twice a week, once in movie theaters and once on DVD. (and who knows, maybe I'll watch more the same week.)

October 1st: Dinner for Schmucks
It looks fucking hilarious, I have been waiting since Tom and Fury talked about it when it first came out in the US. And I'm glad it is finally arriving at Iceland.

October 3rd: Aladdin and the King of Thieves
The Return of Jafar is still my favorite animated movie, but the whole Aladdin trilogy is amazing, so I decided to watch the other two movies of the trilogy. Not to mention it's a fantastic adventure movie.

October 8th: The Town
Fury told me that he thought it was the best one of the year, and not to mention crime is my favorite genre, so I will check this one out of sure.

October 10th: Arthur and the Revenge Of Maltazard
The original Arthur and the Inivisibles was ok, it was a decent movie. What I mean is that it wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't awesome either. But now that I know there is a sequel I just have to check it out.

October 15th: Takers
The main reason I will see this movie is because I am a big fan of crime movies. And the trailer looks great.

October 17th: The Shining
It's a classic horror movie, not to mention it has Jack Nicholson, who is a fantastic actor. I will defiantly see this movie.

October 26th: Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole
Mainly because Jeremy spoke very positively about this movie. And it's a fantasy movie, which is my favorite genre. Can't wait to see this awesometacular movie.

October 27th: Mulan
Yep, I'm watching yet another animated Disney movie. Let me tell you, animated Disney movies are fantastic. And frankly, I think they are a lot better than the Pixar movies we get yearly. (besides Cars and the Toy Story trilogy, there isn't any Pixar movie that I find to be one of my favorite movies) This is a movie about a girl who wants to fight for his father, what else can be said? Doesn't that sound awesome?

October 29th: Machete
It's a great looking action movie, what else needs to be said?

October 31st: Halloween (1977)
I will be watching Halloween on Halloween, ironic, isn't it? Well, I think Halloween is the perfect day to watch this movie, I heard great things about it.

And now for something completely different. Upcoming movies I wanna see:

The Smurfs:
It won't be out until next year, but the show the Smurfs is a fucking classic. Not to mention the main villain (Gargamel) is one of my favorite villains.

Yogi Bear:
It will either be out later this year, or next year, (most likely next year, since movies usually come out late here in Iceland) after seeing this trailer I was like "I must see this movie."

Devil:
I'm surprised this movie isn't coming out this month. Did it do poorly in the box office in the US? It does look like a great horror movie. I hope it will be in theaters by November.

Red (Retired and Extremely Dangerous):
It's a movie about retired superheroes who haven't lost their touch, amazing, don't ya think?

There aren't any more I'm really looking forward to. So yeah, this is gonna be one hell of a month. Expect movie reviews of movies I see in theaters come on Fridays and those I see on DVDs to come on Sundays. (except for October 22nd and 24th, since I'll be going to Berlin then) For the rest of the week, I will entertain you guys.

Thank you for reading and have a great day.

I'm done with putting my mouth on images and other places in my videos.

Personally I think it's better if I didn't crop my mouth into a video. I find it fucking retarded to have my mouth in replacement of somebody else's mouth. (Like I did in the AstroBoy Vs. Superman video)

I don't regret making that video, but I think it would have been even better without putting my mouth in replacement of Astroboy's and Superman's mouth.

If I can make the lips moves, that would be awesome. But putting my mouth into the video is just stupid.

That's all for today.

It's that time of the week again, time to tell what I did in the moviemaking school.

We didn't start recording the short movie we're working on, but we did decide what to do. We decided the locations (the police station, in the building and outside, etc.) who plays who (the characters are dark wizard, a wizard, ordinary guy and a police officer, etc.) and of course the item we need (like a wizard's hat, wizard robe, diamond ring. etc.) and we will start recording next time.

Yeah, I know this blog is short, but so what? Not all my blogs have to be long. In other news I bought a new keyboard. I wanted a wired keyboard, so I got one.

IMPORTANT NEWS: It's time to play Gruntz again.

This is news which is important to all the people who subscribed to me for my Pokémon Gangster videos, because this affects the future of my series.

I have decided to start playing Gruntz again, which is a fun game. And I do plan on making many commentaries on Gruntz. That could slow down my progress on my series Pokémon Gangster. But this won't be like last year and early this year when I was addicted to RuneScape. Because this time I will actually make videos of me doing the levels in the game Gruntz. And I will have the intention of entertaining people with the commentaries. (which is why the videos will be in the Entertainment category rather than gaming.) Unlike the time I played RuneScape a lot, which interfered with my making of videos.

As for the contest, well, originally I was planning on making the deadline October 15th. But since going back to playing Gruntz will slow things down, the deadline will be later. So if you haven't already made an opening for Paul's spinoff, feel free to make one and leave it as a video response here. Explaination on how the opening should be is in the annotations, and more is explained in the video itself.

I want to ask my fans of Pokémon Gangster to be patient. The season 13 finale might be up before October, but I won't make any promises. I just wanna take my time to make it. After all, the more time spent on making something, the better it will turn out.

Today, I watched the Back to the Future trilogy again, and it's as amazing as ever.

I decided to have some fun and watch one of my favorite movie trilogies. Back to the Future. It's one of my favorite movie trilogies because not only is it entertaining, it also teaches us about time traveling. Yeah, it is also educational, (assuming of course time traveling exists, and I believe it is possible.)

I already made a review on the 3 movies, I'm not going to make a review on YouTube on the whole trilogy. But I will say that Back to the Future is one of the best trilogies ever.

Biff is a great villain, he's an asshole, and that's what makes him such a great villain.

Doc Brown is also a great character. (which is why I'm using him.) And so is Marty.

I am going to list my favorite trilogies:
Back to the Future
Indiana Jones
A Nightmare on Elm Street
Transformers

Yeah, I'm aware that ANoES, Indiana Jones and Superman aren't trilogies since they have more than 3 movies in them. And I know Transformers isn't a trilogy yet since only 2 movies have been released, but it soon will be.

Anyway, I watched Back to the Future for two reasons. One to have a good time. Two because the next episode will be referencing Back to the Future. Now, I'm not gonna spoil anything for you guys, it will all be a surprise, but I will say that it's similar to part 2. What I mean is the characters will go back to the events of previous episodes.

So yeah, there was no new episode today because I have to go to work today, and when I got back home I only had around 6 hours of free time. And I decided to use those hours to watch Back to the Future. Don't worry, I will work on the next episode tomorrow. See you then.

What I did in moviemaking school today.

If you don't already know this, I do go to a moviemaking school once a week. It's every Thursday, and since I'm very interested in that subject, I find that school to be fun. I am learning with my teacher, and one another guy. So in total we're three. (Yeah, there aren't many in class, but that's ok.)

It's actually called a short film school.

Before I talk about what I did today, I'm gonna tell you what I did last week. (which was the first time in this moviemaking school) There is a reason why I didn't make an article about it last week, because we were just thinking about movie genres, we didn't do anything else. Here is a copy of the document from last week:
(Translated from Icelandic of course
"

Crime movie

Documentary movie

Romantic movie

Fantasy movie

Legend and adventure
"

Today we thought about what the movie was gonna be about, did some training with the camera and of course thought of the first few scenes. First off, let's look at the first document we made today. This is copied directly from that document:

(Of course the original language is Icelandic, but this is translated.)
"

Crime story - storyline.

Crime:
· Bank robbery
· Stealing from a mus

Criminal:
· A group of teenagers
· Dark wizard

„The Good Guy“:
· Cop
· Ordinary man

What helps the good guy:
· Help from the police

· Help from a wizard

End:
· The criminal is arrested, case closed.


"

Again, I'm gonna remind you that this is the translated version of the document, the original version was in Icelandic. Of course we had other ideas, such as the criminal being a gangster (but that's too cliche), or the hero being a superhero. An alternative ending was that the criminal wins.

After that we were training on using the camera. I need to learn to hold the camera still while recording, and I will probably learn that in this moviemaking school. After that I took a short break, and I went to a bakery and got myself something to eat.

Besides thinking about what the movie was gonna be about, we also worked on the first few scenes, and here is a copy from another document, translated from Icelandic of course:
"

Plot |Recording place and props |Recording


The dark wizard steals a diamond ring.

A museum in Reykjavík.

Check if you have to pay.

Diamond ring.

Zoom into the .

Move the camera while the dark wizard is leaving the museum.

The ordinary guy reads in the newspaper that a diamond ring has been stolen.

At his home.

Newspaper.

Hold the camera still.

Zoom in.

Go to the museum and ask what's going on.

Museum in Reykjavík.

Somebody who works at the museum.

Hold the camera still


"

And I did all the translating myself, (I did use Google Translate a little bit, but I only did it when I didn't know the English word, but that's just 2 times, I translated the rest myself) so yeah. That's all I did for that day. I will be more than happy to share with you what I will be doing next week, so look out for that.

Thank you for reading and have a great day.

It's a beginning of a new month again, and you know what that means? It's time to tell my quick thoughts on trailers.

That's right, ladies and gentlemen. It's time to tell my quick thoughts on the trailers of the movies released this month here in Iceland. And decide what movies I'll be watching in movie theaters the next few weeks.

Firstly let's take a look at the movies that will come in movie theaters this month:

Week 1:

September 3rd: The Other Guys
JeremeyJahns and TomChalbash have both reviewed it. And as far as I know they haven't said that it sucked. Tom did mention that the movie is not like he expected it to be, but he didn't say anything bad about the action. I will probably check this movie out.

September 3rd: Despicable Me
I will check this movie out, no question about it. FuryoftheFilmFan and JeremeyJahns spoke positively about it, so I will check it out.

September 3rd: The Ghost Writer
It does look great, I should defiantly check it out some time.

September 3rd: Future of Hope
Two words to describe this: Fucking boring! I mean it's a documentary, how can that be fun in any way?

Week 2:

September 10th: Algjör Sveppi og dularfulla hótelherbegið
This title translates literally: "Real Mushroom and the mysterious hotel room", but it doesn't sound so cool in English. Nevertheless the movie does look great. I should probably check it out. Now I don't check Icelandic movies very often, but I should check them out more often.

September 10th: Resident Evil: Afterlife
This movie looks kick-ass. I will check it out.

September 10th: Remember Me
At first I thought because of the poster that this is yet another romantic drama. But I did see some violence in the trailer. But I still think this is yet another romantic drama, and I really don't think it's worth seeing in theaters.

Week 3:

September 17th: Going the Distance
This is defiantly yet another romantic drama, and since I'm not interested in romantic dramas, I will skip this one.

September 17th: Sumarlandið
The English translation is "The Summer Land". I'm sorry guys, but I don't find this movie to be anything special. Just another comedy. I will probably skip it.

Week 4:

September 24th: Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Ok, so this is a gangster movie? It looks that way, so I will probably check it out.

September 24th: Furry Vengeance
This movie is going to suck, I even made a whole video about it. I will only see this movie in theaters if I feel like watching a very bad movie.

September 24th: Solomon Kane
It looks awesome, none of my three favorite movie reviewers seem to have reviewed this movie. (I did find Tom's video about the trailer though, but I don't wanna see that, I want to know what people thought of the movie.) The trailer looks awesome, so I will most likely check this movie out.

Let's see how many movies I wanna see. Holy shit, they are seven, and there are four weeks in the month. That means I have to see some of those movies on DVD. It's a hard decision, but as of now those are the movies I plan on seeing the next following weeks:

Week 1: Despicable Me
Week 2: Resident Evil: Afterlife
Week 3: The Ghost Writer
Week 4: Solomon Kane

Keep in mind that my plans might change. Depending on what I feel like watching. Also depending on which movies you guys suggest I watch in theaters. And who knows, maybe I will go to a movie theater twice the same week.

Now let's talk about DVDs. What's new on DVD this month is nearly irrelevant, because there is only one new movie on DVD I wanna see this month, and that's Cop Out. Yeah, I am not going to watch it and being aware it's gonna suck. I'm gonna watch it hoping it won't suck as bad as FuryoftheFilmFan said it would. I mean it has Bruce fucking Willis, who is a great actor, so it can't be that bad, right, right? Let's hope not. As for other DVDs, I will mostly be renting older movies. I will be going through my recommended box on my channel, and see if there is something there I should watch.

So guys, tell me what do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.

You know what? Fuck the book about Hitler I got from the library, I am starting on episode 189 right now!

That's right, you heard me correctly. Recently I borrowed a book from the library that's about Adolf Hitler. I did it because I thought "If I want to portray Hitler, I'd better do it right.". But now I realize there really is no point in reading a fucking book that would take nearly half a month to complete in order to portray Hitler. Hitler was racist, hated Jews, and was the leader of Germany and had high power, that's all I need to know about him.

If I was going for historical accuracies, I should read a whole book about Hitler. But since Pokémon Gangster is a show for Entertainment purposes, it doesn't have to follow history 100%. I wanted to know who Hitler's most trusted friends were. And I don't need to read a whole book about him in order to know that. I can just talk to my friends about it, ask people about it and stuff. Yeah, the Internet is 100% accurate, but so what? It still has some reliable information.

I'm not half way done with the 400+ pages book I borrowed from the library, I'm not even done with 100 pages yet, but I decided fuck it. All I need to know about Hitler is that he was evil, hated jews, and was the leader of Germany, and that's about it.

For those of you wondering which movies I'll be seeing this week, I will make an article about it either today or tomorrow, so stay tuned.
