Racism on Elysium

Image

About two weeks ago I saw Elysium and it was awesome. However, I forgot to tell y’all what I learned. Watching Elysium, I learned that it was a racist movie, or a racist planet or space station or whatever you want to call it.

Sure the movie was full of action, sweet special effects and Matt Damon, but it was still kind of racist. How was it racist you ask? Well, let me tell you. Everyone who lived on Elysium was white (and had money), while all the Mexicans (and other South Americans, but mainly Mexicans because I believe the Earth part of the movie took place in East LA) were stuck here on Earth.

I still would recommend seeing this movie. Especially if you like watching people blow up in movies (because that happens quite a lot). I guess sometimes racism isn’t really a bad thing, because this movie (although a bit racist) still was very entertaining to see.

There was one thing I hated about this movie, and it wasn’t the racist-ness. Jodie Foster was the worst human ever. Not her character, but her, because of her bad acting. Usually Jodie Foster is pretty good in movies, but she tried to put on this French/English/Elysium accent which wasn’t working. Just talk in your normal voice Jodie and everything will be alright.

I still think you should watch this movie, if you haven’t already. Jodie Foster isn’t in the movie enough to ruin the whole movie, just the scenes she is in, where she talks. For the record, I would never go live on Elysium, I would totally stay on Earth.

The Death of SC’n’A

This week I learned about the extinction of a group of Super Cool ‘n’ Awesome people, the SC’n’A (Super Cool ‘n’ Awesome) group.
In this sad time I do have some good news. The Ferding’s Learnings page will Rize (like the Fenix) from the ashes of the SC’n’A group (because knowledge is power).
I was sad to learn SC’n’A would be no more, but I was talking to Master Wallace (the creator/bossman of SC’n’A) and he told me “ain’t nobody got time fo dat!” (Nobody but me at least…)
Learning is very important (as Chris Ashton Kutcher told us this past weekend at the Kids Choice Awards). Being sexy is all about being smart, and learning is how we become smart. Therefore, I am going to continue writing down what I learn each week and share it with you, to help all of you stay or become sexy (if anyone is even reading this stuff).
So, I hope you’re all ready to learn some new stuff with me on this journey we call LIFE.
Till next week, stay clean, stay cool, stay in school (unless you graduated already, then you are free to do what you want).

C+J Learning

crying movie

Last night I watched the movie Celeste & Jesse Forever, starring Andy Samberg and Rashida Jones. Last night I learned that this is the saddest movie I have ever seen. I really liked the movie, even though it made me depressed even after the movie had ended (for a few days).

Although I was sad most of the time while watching, there are still parts where you LOLimp (“Laugh Out Loud in my pants,” everything is better when you add “in my pants” to it).

Several people had told me this movie was really sad before I watched it, but I decided to watch it anyways because I love Andy Samberg and Rashida Jones.

I am writing this now after watching the movie Thursday night. Friday night I was telling a friend about the movie and just thinking about it made me a little sad, I just thought ‘why’d it have to be like that?’

I guess what I’m saying is you should watch Celeste & Jesse Forever, but be prepared to cry. Even when the movie is over be prepared to continue crying, and have something funny or happy ready to watch right after. Get ready to cry more than when you saw the Notebook for the first time.
