First Day Blues
4th year has been depressing so far (yes, for the one day I've been there)...but I'm really trying hard not to show it. I'm just so not comfortable with my class, you know. I don't want to say it, but I think I'm gonna be soo unhappy this year.
This sucks like hell.
Whatever. I'm just gonna keep myself happy by watching X-men behind the scenes footage and anything else I could find on youtube. OMG. The stunts these people do...it's awesome. And the actors actually do them... Like Hugh Jackman and his backflip on wires...he flips like from twenty feet then he lands on the ground and they don't cut the scene. They continue with the slashing and all that stuff. It's awesome.
See...that cheered me up. Sigh. Movies...they're my only reprieve from real life (except for television, of course).
Edit: I chose to edit what I had said. And more about X-men. This scene with Angel flying off the building. Shit. I thought they used green screen for it. But no:
Edit: I saw something again. Click here for the full interview.
We've seen the trailers with you flying out the window. How much is practical and how much is CGI?
Well, the wings are CGI but they attached me to a wire, took off my shirt and then raised me about 80ft above cement. And they said, 'You're flying and we're going to drop you now. We do this for a living.' I'm looking for the bag; there's no bag, just a lot of mutant extras to take my fall if somehow I'm not acting well enough.
