Prince of Persia

How often have movies based on video games worked out? Let's see...

Pretty much never. Like nothing ever has been a good idea. Hitman is awesome, and anyone who knows me knows I love Resident Evil. But other than that, Prince of Persia was all around doomed so suck. Firstly: Jake Gyllenhaal has the most God-awful English accent. Secondly: why the hell does everyone have an English accent? This is ancient Persia. Thirdly: Doesn't anyone actually realize it's ancient Persia? Doesn't anyone on the entire staff know what historical accuracy is? If the games are better written than the movie, you know something's wrong. I went to go see it with a friend of mine

The tribulations of life are often forgotten during a good movie, but sometimes there's just no getting around bare facts. I'm starting to get frustrated with mundane life at home. I find myself wanting to just move to New York City and get an internship somewhere, while at the same time working for some independent movie theater to pay the bills. I don't know of anyone else who has random life-changing urges. Hopefully I can get through another year of college without any holdups and move down there for an extended period of time.
