Tolkiens books are some of my favorites i have three copies of the return of the king and have all of hid books that i know about. i wish that tolkien could have finished his lifes work a book called the Silmarillion. tolkien reminds me of bilbo baggins who wrote the stories of all his eventures in a book called there and back agian.
its really cool to learn that J.R.R. Tolkien was born in africa and the whole idea of the spiders in the hobbit and the lord of the rings came from tolkien running around and then falling on a tarantula and getting bitten, his nurse had to suck out the venom. he had to celebrate christmas in africa by decorating a eucalyptus tree.
I watched Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow for the first time today, it was one of the few Tim Burton Movies a hadn't seen yet (probably because i was only four when it came out) it was amazing. and the guy that played the headless horsemen was in the rundown. the evil witch and her sister looked really cool in there cave. also ichbod and his tools looked really creepy and inventive.
I've been drawing all my life and befor ei even paid attention to the fact that there were creators behind the movies i watch, Tim Burton affected my drawing style and the things i dream of. like the corpse bride with the underworld being this amazing and fun place that oddly anough is more exsiting then the land of the living. and the tragic story of the corpse bride and how you hope for her to be happy but also hope victor and victoria can be together.
Tim Burten has created many of my child hood favorites and even to this day he makes movies that i go out of my way to make sure i see. he's friends with actors that i look up to and wish i could meet like Vincent Price and Johnney Depp. Tim Burten is a person i respect and longe to be.
Tim Burton was alianated as a child and that left him time to let his creativity florish and become a world in and of its self. if you see a Tim Burton movie you'll know it right away because of his style and how he incorparates a piece of himself in everything he does. even when he's restricted by a company like disney.
Marilyn Manson has changed alot but it seems like he is happy with what he has finally become. he describes himself as finally knowing what to care about after twenty seven years. all the people that've tried to destroy him and his music only managed to make the message even stronger. all the groups that tried to stop him from playing and he would play anyways, some times having to leave in a hurry but still playing and letting his message be heard.
Marilyn Manson's band is starting to form, its first name was Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids, i like the name alot and find it fitting. Marilyn Manson is starting out but some of the other band members dont seem to fit that well in the band, one of them is a junkie and Marilyn Manson is agianst people allowing drugs to control them. I wonder if he gets kicked out of the Band when the name changes.
Today i started learning about how Marilyn Manson went to a christain school and how they used fear to try and turn people to god. His school was vile and cruel they attacked homosexuallity, rock, and even taunted other religions. Marilyn Manson hated his school and wanted to get kicked out. I hate the school he describes and hope that someday people wont be so judgemental of what they dont understand.
Today I read about Marilyn Manson's grandfather he is really wierd to me but he was good to his family so just the things he did in his own time when he was alone i dont understand. Marilyn Manson is kinda scared but also fasinated by his grandfathers hidden life. In all truthfullness i think my riaction to finding the stuff in the basemant would have been one of fear and morbid curiosity too.
