The Lego Movie Review


My Rating: 8.5/10

Trailer:



Synopsis: An ordinary guy named Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt) is mistaken as being the Master builder; the one who can save the universe. With the aid of an old mystic Vitruvius (voiced by Morgan Freeman), a tough young lady named Lucy (voiced by Elizabeth Banks), and Batman (voiced by Will Arnett), Emmet will fight to defeat the evil tyrant Lord Business (Will Ferrell) who is bent on destroying the universe by gluing it together. (Source: Official Lego Movie Website)

My Review:

The Lego Movie is a surprisingly great movie. On the outside (and from the trailer) it does seem like a very childish movie when in reality it appeals to all ages. I went to see it with my younger cousin (12), my Mother and my Grandmother and everyone loved it. Even my mother who did not initially want to see it as she thought it was childish came out raving about it. It has a good mix of comedy and heart in that it makes you laugh but the comedy does not overtake the storyline. The star-studded cast is also great with my personal favourite character been Bad Cop/Good Cop who is voiced by Liam Neeson. He is definitely one of the funny characters. The movie also tackles many deeper issues such as belonging, standing out, being different, having an imagination (and not having one) and the importance of working as a team to achieve a common goal.

Even the song prominently featured in a lot of the advertising titled "Everything is AWESOME!!" is a perfect summation of the start of the movie. Everyone is in their own little world and wanting to be uniform which is followed by this mantra of a song which basically takes on a very propaganda-type view of the world that "everything is awesome when we work as a team."

The Lego Movie in one sentence: Everything is AWESOME!!




I highly recommend you see this movie. See you tomorrow!

Most Anticipated Films of 2014

Welcome to yet another "At the Movies with Daily Lukey" segment where we continue our series of looking through some of the movies you should look out for in 2014. By the time you read this, or even as I am writing this, some of these movies will have already been released but they are still movies of 2014. It is kind of hard to believe we are near the end of March (and Term 1) already. Only 27 days to Kokoda!

Hot Tub Time Machine 2

The sequel to the home-entertainment comedy hit focuses on Lou (played by Rob Corddry) getting into trouble and his friends firing up the hot tub time machine in an attempt to go back to the past - only to land in the future. John Cusack, who appeared in the first movie, is not set to reprise his role in the sequel. It is set to be released on the 25th of December (in America).

The Book of Life

This is not a remake of the Brad Pitt film but rather a new movie altogether. Set in a fantastical world, The Book of Life is the story of a young man who must face his greatest fears and follow his heart in order to rewrite his destiny. Filled with love, laughter, music and suspense, this big adventure for the whole family will warm the hearts of audiences as it reminds everyone of the importance of honouring the past while embracing the future. It has been described as a Romeo and Juliet set against a Mexican Day of the Dead.


Welcome to Yesterday


The poster may say February, but the release date is yet to be announced. The story focuses on a group of high schoolers who invent a time machine and record their trips into the past. The script was in development for a year so hopefully this makes for some good movie moments.


Jersey Boys


Jersey Boys is the movie adaptation of the hit Tony-Award-Winning Broadway Musical. It is set to inlclude many of the hit songs that has caused audiences all over the world to fall in love with the story of Franki Valli and the Four Seasons. Jersey Boys tells the story of Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi who go from blue-collar wrong side of the track origins to become American pop sensations. They sold over 175 million records worldwide before they were thirty years old. Get set to fall in love with the musical that audiences have raved about.

This is Where I Leave You

This is Where I Leave You is based on the new novel of the same name by Jonathan Tropper. It centres on a man (played by Jason Bateman) whose father dies and tasks his dysfunctional family of four grown siblings with one last request: to spend seven days following the funeral together under the same roof for the first time in a decade. It has a comedy cast headed by Jason Bateman and Tina Fey with Jane Fonda in there also.

Welcome back to some more of my posts. See you tomorrow!

Highly Anticipated Films of 2014

Welcome back to yet another "At the Movies with Daily Lukey" segment. I am so sorry that I missed out on yesterday's post but that was because I was busy all day and all night so I never had time to even think about writing that post. To make up for it, I will be doing double the amount of movies today instead of the usual five. We had better get started then!

Veronica Mars




The Movie version of this 2004-2007 popular television sees all your favourite characters return to solve another case. This movie sees Veronica Mars returning to her home town of Neptune (California) where she is just in time for her high school reunion. Kristen Bell reprises her role in this  screen-to-film adaptation that is sure to appease some fans who have long awaited this.

Edge of Tomorrow




Edge of Tomorrow sees a star-studded cast including Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt come together for another action-packed thriller. The story focuses on Lt. Col. Bill Cage (played by Cruise) who is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop which forces him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again and again. But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (portrayed by Blunt). And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy. It is set to be a great movie.

Adapted from: http://www.movieinsider.com/m7261/edge-of-tomorrow/

The Purge: Anarchy




This film is a sequel the 2013 film; The Purge. The Purge, as you will see from the trailer, is the one night in the whole year where all crime (even murder) is legal for twelve hours with emergency services suspended the whole time. When one couple's car breaks down right before the purge it becomes a fight to stay alive in a world that is just waiting to kill them. It literally becomes a race to stay alive. Fans of The Purge are set to enjoy this film when it releases later this year.

The Fault in Our Stars




The Fault in our Stars is the long awaited film adaptation of John Green's 2012 novel. It centres on a teenage girl stricken with cancer falls for a boy in her support group and the two form a bond as they deal with their illnesses. This is the book that made people cry and even the trailer gave some people reason to cry. It is set to become the next big thing in the movie world when it is released later this year.

Horrible Bosses 2


Please note that the above poster is for the first Horrible Bosses movie as the sequel is still in pre-production so no promotional posters have been released yet. Horrible Bosses 2 has a very similar story line to the original film. Fed up with answering to higher-ups, Nick, Dale and Kurt decide to become their own bosses by launching their own business. But a slick investor soon pulls the rug out from under them. Outplayed and desperate, and with no legal resources, the three would-be entrepreneurs hatch a misguided plan to kidnap the investor's adult son and ransom him to regain control of their company.


Into the Woods


This film sees a fully star-studded cast including Johnny Depp (The Wolf), Meryl Streep (Witch), Chris Pine (Cinderella's Prince), Emily Blunt (Baker's Wife), Anna Kendrick (Cinderella) and Lucy Punch (Lucinda). The story surrounds a baker and his wife's quest to break a witch's curse in order to start a family. Along the way, they encounter several well-known fairy tale characters, including Rapunzel, Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood, and together they learn what happens after "happily ever after". If the movie's cast is anything to go by, this film is going to be great. It is being created by Walt Disney Pictures.



The Monument's Men




There are so many movies coming out with such a star-studded cast including George Clooney, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett and many more. It is based on the true story of the greatest treasure hunt in history. The Monuments Men is an action-thriller focusing on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission; with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys - seven museum directors, curators, and art historians, all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1 - possibly hope to succeed? But as the Monuments Men, as they were called, found themselves in a race against time to avoid the destruction of 1000 years of culture, they would risk their lives to protect and defend mankind's greatest achievements.

Adapted from: http://www.movieinsider.com/m10765/the-monuments-men/


Non-Stop




Non-Stop sees Liam Neeson in a suspense thriller played out at 40,000 feet in the air. During a transatlantic flight from New York City to London, U.S. Air Marshal Bill Marks (Neeson) receives a series of cryptic text messages demanding that he instruct the airline to transfer $150 million into an off-shore account. Until he secures the money, a passenger on his flight will be killed every 20 minutes. It sure is set to be an action thriller.

Jupiter Ascending



Jupiter Ascending tells the story of Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) who was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning toilets and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along - her genetic signature marks her as the next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

Adapted from: http://www.movieinsider.com/m9619/jupiter-ascending/

Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

This film features a comedy studded cast including Steve Carell and Jennifer Garner. It follows a boy, Alexander, who wakes up and things just go badly for him all day long. From gum that ends up in his hair, to being criticized for his invisible picture by his teacher to not getting dessert in his lunch bag. Alexander just does not seem to be able to catch a break.

Highly Anticipated Films of 2014 (At the Movies with Daily Lukey)

Welcome back to another Thursday and another "At the Movies with Daily Lukey" post. I firstly want to apologise for the lack of posts in recent days. I finally have my school laptop again after many days of promises and nothing. This means that it is a lot easier for me to write these posts now. However, there may still be days with no post. This is because that now I am in VCE my work load has dramatically increased so I have less time to do things like this. However, I will try to post as regularly as possible. Now, on with some of the highly anticipated films of 2014!

Paranormal Activity 5


The fifth instalment in this cult franchise comes out just a few months after Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones hit theatres back in January. No word yet what this movie will entail but in true Paranormal Activity fashion it will most likely involve a lot of scares and probably some demons thrown in for the fun of it. Sometimes however you must ask when the franchise is going to finish.

Rio 2




The sequel to 20th Century Fox's successful Rio hits theatres in April with a star-studded cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway and Andy Garcia. Rio 2 finds Jewel (Anne Hathaway), Blue (Jesse Eisenberg) and their three children leaving their domesticated life in the city for a journey to the Amazon. They encounter a menagerie of characters along the way, including Jewel's father, who are born to be wild.

Adapted from: http://www.movieinsider.com/m9974/rio-2/

Muppets Most Wanted




The Muppets are back again for another movie. All the old favourites are back along with a star-studded cast including Ricky Gervais, Lady Gaga, Tina Fey and Modern Family's Ty Burrel. This movie sees the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theatres across European destinations, including Berlin, Madrid and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine - the World's Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit - and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two (Ricky Gervais). The movie is sure to bring comedy fun for the whole family as is typical for most Muppet shows.

Adapted from: http://www.movieinsider.com/m9981/muppets-most-wanted/

Step Up All In


The exciting next chapter in this popular cult-dance series sees the all-stars from previous instalments coming together in glittering Las Vegas, battling for a victory that could define their dreams and their careers. This movie comes out in July of 2014.


Pompeii




Pompeii, set in 79 A.D., tells the epic story of Milo, a slave turned invincible gladiator who finds himself in a race against time to save his true love Cassia, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy merchant who has been unwillingly betrothed to a corrupt Roman Senator. As Mount Vesuvius erupts in a torrent of blazing lava, Milo must find his way out of the arena in order to save his beloved as the once magnificent Pompeii crumbles around him. Pompeii erupts (see what I did there?) into Australian cinemas on the 20th of March 2014.

See you next Thursday for some more films to look out for this year. See you tomorrow!

Entertainment Wednesday: Frozen Review

Welcome to a new segment called Entertainment Wednesday. This segment is all about entertainment and content will range from reviews to discussions. Anything to do with entertainment is open for discussion in this segment. The first post in this new segment will be a review of the Disney animated film Frozen



My Rating: 8/10

Trailer:



Synopsis: Walt Disney Animation Studios, the studio behind "Tangled" and "Wreck it Ralph", presents "Frozen", a stunning big-screen comedy adventure. Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel) has a magical power to freeze things and create snow and icy creations. However, after she nearly kills her sister by accident she has to hide her powers from everyone including her sister, Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell), whose memory of Elsa's magic has been completely wiped from her mind to save her life. Her parents try to protect her but they die when their ship sinks and Elsa and Anna are left alone (see "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" below). Elsa remains in control of her powers until her coronation ball where she accidentally lets some magic loose and shocks everyone. She then escapes to the mountains and creates an icy fortress for herself. In doing so, Elsa has unwittingly trapped the kingdom of Arandelle in an eternal Winter. Anna then sets off to find her sister and convince her to put an end to the winter. Along the way she receives help from an ice-seller named Kristoff (voiced by Jonathon Groff) and his trusty reindeer Sven. They also meet a snowman named Olaf (voiced by Josh Gad) who was brought to life through Elsa's magic. Together, this unlikely troupe must put an end to the eternal Winter, save Arandelle as well as Elsa.

Review: I went in to this film expecting nothing more than a Disney-animated "kid" film. However, I was surprised at the quality and the depth in story-telling that this movie presented. It had the right balance of heart, story and comedy which made for an enjoyable experience. It also had a wide repertoire of hard-hitting and catchy songs. The highlights being "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" and "Let it Go" (a song being heralded as the new Defying Gravity and nominated for a Grammy for best original song). You can listen to both songs by scrolling down below. My favourite character would have to be Olaf, a snowman created by Elsa's magic who dreams of Summer and heat (blissfully unaware of what happens to snow under heat). He is also a big source of comedy and makes the movie so much more enjoyable. The story-telling is also very heart-felt and you do end up feeling for the character's of Elsa and Anna. If you are looking for a good movie to watch, this is one to seriously consider.

"Let it Go" sung by Idina Menzel as Elsa:



"Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" sung by Kristen Bell, Agatha Lee Mon and Katie Lopez as Anna (at various ages):




Frozen is one of Disney's best Christmas movies, see you tomorrow!

Doctor Who Sunday: Top Moments of the Doctor Part 7

Finally, after what has seemed like ages, this segment is back on a Sunday. Doctor Who Sunday is all about Doctor Who and over the first few weeks (which are more than likely going to turn into months) I am going through my favourite moments of modern Doctor Who. I am currently up to Part 7 which means moments 31 through to 35. You can find the other parts by looking through the archives to the right. Let us get on with the show!

31. Sky Steals the Doctor's Voice in Midnight




This part of the episode of Midnight is when the shuttle that the Doctor was taking on the planet Midnight was attacked by a mysterious force outside. At first she copies the Doctor but then she gets closer and closer before she begins to steal his words before he can even say it. In the end, Sky becomes faster than him and the other passengers think that the Doctor is possessed rather than Sky. The stewardess however, sees what is going on and sacrifices her life to kill Sky.

32. The Nobles have Lost all Hope in Turn Left




In this episode an alien bug makes Donna go back in time and turn right rather than left which means she no longer meets the Doctor. Because of this all of the Doctor's victories are now losses after he dies in Torchwood because Donna was not there to stop him drowning the spider. After that, the only people left who could stop the aliens died each time and so London was destroyed by the Titanic spaceship. Here everyone has lost their hope. This is another of those emotional episode due to the lack of emotion. It is one of my favourite episodes by far. This part also lends on to the next scene I am talking about where Donna meets Rose to save everyone knowing full-well that Rose has told her than when she does finally come with her Donna is going to die. Rose warns Donna of the darkness that is spreading throughout all Universes and realities and when Donna's grandfather notices the darkness Donna decides it is time to go. Turn Left is definitely one of my favourite episodes.

33. Donna Makes the Ultimate Sacrifice in Turn Left




In this part of Turn Left Donna goes back in time to stop herself from turning right to ensure that she does meet the Doctor. She also makes the discovery that she is, in fact,  going to have to die. Donna then has to make the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that she does turn left instead of right. It is another one of those emotional scenes.

34. "Who are you? What will you become?" in Turn Left



This scene comes from the end of the above clip so if you do not want to leave this page and view it on YouTube you can watch the ending above. However, the last few minutes of Bad Wolf are cut out in the last bit so if you really want to see the ending of Turn Left you are going to need to watch this clip. In it the fortune teller who tricked Donna sees how strong she is and wonders on "Who are you? What will you become?!" while scrambling away from her. It really does set up for the two-part finale (The Stolen Earth/Journey's End) which incorporates all of the companions so far in modern Doctor Who including Captain Jack Harkness and Rose's friends/family.

35. The Doctor and Rose Reunite in The Stolen Earth




I am sorry for the above clip but for all of them you have to watch it on YouTube. It is when the Doctor and Rose finally do reunite after a whole season of each narrowly missing the other. It is a great scene that has been two seasons in the making. It deserves its place as one of the best moments of Modern Doctor Who.

There is a lot of emotion recently in the top parts of Doctor Who. This series is Tennant's farewell series though so maybe they were trying for something. Anyway, see you tomorrow!

Doctor Who Sunday (Thursday Edition): Top Moments of the Doctor Part 6

Welcome to another Doctor Who Sunday post where I go through some of the greatest Doctor Who moments in the Modern series. I am posting this today to commiserate the loss of Matt Smith and to celebrate the arrival of Peter Capaldi on Doctor Who. If you did not realise, I posted Part 5 yesterday on Christmas to make up for missing out last Sunday and also to give me a break on Christmas Day (I am pre-writing this one on Christmas Eve). On with the Doctor!

26. The Doctor Wants a Mate in Partners in Crime




In this scene the Doctor is glad that Donna has agreed to accompany him as his companion but when Donna mishears him saying "I just want a mate" things get interesting. What Donna hears is "I just want to mate" and comedy gold ensues. I am sorry for the poor quality of the video but it was the only one I could find and pictures just did not justice.

27. "Just Save Someone" in The Fires of Pompeii




This is a scene where we finally get to see the emotional side of Donna and see that she is not just there as a comedy character. We also see the darker side of the Timelord in this episode as he does not want to save people because it is a "Fixed point in time". Instead, Donna implores him to save just someone because the Doctor's home (Gallifrey) burned just like Pompeii. It is a very strong scene. You may also recognise Peter Capaldi as the father of the family. Fun fact, Karen Gillan (Amy Pond) also appears in this episode as one of the seers.

28. The Ood's Song in Planet of the Ood




In this episode we get another emotional scene with Donna and the Ood when she hears the song of captivity that these Ood are singing. Donna asks for the Doctor to allow her to hear it and when she does it gets very emotional and she feels even more for the Ood and their plight. For those of you who do not know, the Ood are creatures that the human race found and turned into slaves. Off all the monsters in Doctor Who the worst are always the humans.

29. The Doctor Meets River Song in Silence in the Library




This is the episode where the Whoniverse was introduced to River Song, a character everyone would learn to love is introduced to the Doctor. However, in this episode River Song already knows the Doctor and the Doctor makes the shocking discovery that River knows a lot more about him than he knows about her. It is a very good two-part episode (Forest of the Dead) is the second part. You also see how they make references to later episodes (the crash of the byzanteum is part of the episode with Amy and the Weeping Angels). River also knows that when the Doctor no longer knows who she is that it is her time to die which is something very sad and you can see her whole demeanor change.

30. River Makes the Ultimate Sacrifice in Forest of the Dead




This is a very sad scene and River even makes the note that now the Doctor knows exactly when she is going to die. Here, River is wiring herself into the mainframe of the library so she can stop the self-destruct sequence and save the people who had being "saved" by the computer. River also tells him of their last date so that the Doctor knows now when River is going to die. She even says that the Doctor cried. We all know that the Doctor cried because he knew that River Song was going to die. It was a very emotional moment played extremely well by Alex Kingston (River Song).

There was a lot of emotion in this part. See you tomorrow!

50 Reasons why I Love Doctor Who (Part 2)

This morning I was awake, as I said I would be, at 6:50 for The Day of the Doctor which, for those of you who have been living under a rock, is the 50th Anniversary Special Episode of Doctor Who. It was actually a pretty awesome episode with emotion, comedy and a great story. It exemplifies the many reasons why Whovians all around the world have stayed true over 50 years, even when Doctor Who was not running. If you missed out on part 1 of this post yesterday where I mentioned the first twenty-five reasons why I love Doctor Who, then click here. Please note that these reasons are in no particular order.


26. The Soundtrack. What Whovian could not pick out the tunes from a Doctor Who soundtrack. They are so amazing they convey a story without words or images. Sometimes you even have memories of episodes and experiences you had surrounding that episode when you listen to the soundtrack. Music really is magical.
27. The Time Lords. These lords of time have been seen in many ways over the years. They have been seen as wonderful, as scary and as horrible human beings. As the Doctor aptly says "The time-war changed them." They really are the worst creatures in the Universe.
28. The Master. Who could not fall in love with an insane psychopath? The least you can do is love to hate him.
29. Sexy. Those of you who have watched the episode The Doctor's Wife when I say Sexy. I am not using it as an adjective but rather as a name. Sexy: the human form of the TARDIS mainframe which was ripped from its home by House (not the doctor, an asteroid on the fringe of the Universe) and placed inside a human's body only later to die in that human's body and return to the TARDIS. That was one hell of an episode.
30. Gallifrey. This home of the Time Lords which was once thought destroyed in the Great Time War. Those of you who have watched The Day of the Doctor will know at what I am hinting at here.
31. Writers. The wonderful (and ever-changing) team of writers that work on Doctor Who make it as wonderful and as deep as it is today, without them there would be no Doctor Who.
32. Russel T. Davies, the man responsible for bringing Doctor Who back in 2005.
33. The Make-Up Artists who create and change all the actors into monsters or transformed versions of humans. They make magic with some plastic and a lot of skill.
34. Sonic Screwdriver. How many times could the Doctor have died or failed in his tasks if he had not had his trusty Sonic Screwdriver? The answer is too many times to count.
35. Actors. Without the myriad of actors who have worked on Doctor Who, the show would be no where. Part of the success of the show has to be put on the actors who allowed the characters to come to life.
36. No Guns. As much terror and war the Doctor has seen he condemns the use of firearms, especially on people. The one time he was near shooting someone (in The End of Time Part 2) he found the strength not to and instead saved the world, yet again, without the need for fire-arms. America should learn something from that.
37. The Fez. Matt Smith's doctor came with one added attachment, his Fez. Even in The Day of the Doctor, as Clara puts it, "You can never walk past a fez, can you?" No he can not and we love him for that.
38. Steely determination. The Doctor's determination to peacefully settle disputes with as little loss of life as possible is a great strength on his behalf. Even when the opposition does not remotely deserve a second chance the Doctor offers it to them anyway, that is just the kind of time lord he is.
39. K-9. This lovable robot dog who even had his own show for a little while is another of the many reasons why fans love Doctor Who and all his quirks.
40. The Doctor's Darker Side. We see this side of the Doctor on many occasions and each time we see him fight through and realise his wrongs. Doctor Who can be a great moral story at times.
41. Forgiveness. No matter what the enemy has done, the Doctor always feels that they can be forgiven. It is this which separates him from the time lords who changed as a result of the Last Great Time War.
42. Romantic Tension. Who does not love to see the Doctor fight off his companions as many of them (especially in the modern telling of the show) fall in love with this time lord?
43. Story Arcs. Who does not love a good story arc. Some run for just a season (such as the cracks in the universe in Season 5) while others run for much longer (such as the mystery of River Song and Bad Wolf). Most of the time we do not even realise they are story arcs until the big reveal right at the end. It really is masterful writing.
44. Spoilers. River Songs favourite thing to say to the Doctor. Who does not love the story arc of River Song? "The Doctor is her first and her last." There is still so much to be learnt about River Song or, should I say ("Spoilers"), Melody Pond.
45. The Weeping Angels. They are the one new monster that will stand as one of the scariest monsters in Doctor Who history. Who would not be scared of creatures that are statues when you see them but incredibly fast when you can not. One touch will send you back in time while they feed off all the years you could have had if you had not met them. Oh, did I mention they can also turn off lights?
46. Rory Williams, the boy who waited. This couple of the boy who waited and the girl who waited (Amy Pond) sets off a great love story to be remembered by Whovians for decades to come. What love is stronger than waiting 2000 years for the girl you love? Rory Williams is one top bloke. Did I really just say bloke?
47. Putting Hitler in the closet. Who did not laugh at that scene in Let's Kill Hitler. The Doctor did not care (nor apparently did Rory Williams or Amy Pond) that Hitler was, and still is, one of the most infamous people in the world. Instead, he just put him in the closet while he sorted out what had to be done.
48. Human Villains. As much as there are evil monsters, there are also evil humans which the Doctor has to face every now and then. They really do make the story more realistic as who would believe in a world where only aliens are evil and humans play no part?
49. Moral. Doctor Who teaches us a lot about morals in many different ways. You have the Doctor's constant appeals to the monsters to ask forgiveness, then you have his steadfast anti-firearms value. Not to mention all that he stands for.
50. The final reason why I love Doctor Who can only be described using two words. Doctor Who?

I hope you enjoyed this, in further celebration I will soon be posting my top 50 Doctor Who moments. See you tomorrow!

50 Reasons why I love Doctor Who (Part 1)

It is the 23rd of November and we all know what that means? No, I do not mean One Direction Day. I mean the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary! As I live in Australia, the 50th Anniversary special (The Day of the Doctor) does not air until 6:50 am tomorrow on ABC1. Now you know what I will be doing between 6:50 and 8:07. To celebrate this momentous occasion in Doctor Who history I have compiled a list of 50 reasons why I, and so many others around the world, love Doctor Who.


1. The story is timeless and has adapted over time to suit the current era. Throughout its entire run it has managed to give audiences what they want and boy, have they taken it.
2. You never know quite what to expect. Anything can happen where The Doctor is involved.
3. Even though the stories can seem so out-there you are still able to connect with the story which is a very hard thing to achieve with something that is not even human.
4. The stories are believable. For all we know, the silence could exist and we just can not remember them. The vashta nerada could in fact be the reason why people are afraid of the shadows. Everything makes sense.
5. While the show has changed a lot over 50 years, the writers still make references to Classic Doctor Who and even in Season 6 there were references to episodes with the first ever Doctor, William Hartnell.
6. Regenerations keep the show moving. It makes it plausible to have many actors play the same role over 50 years and could even see the show go on for much longer as they are not limited by the age of actors.
7. Companions make up half the show. As much as the show is about Doctor Who it is also about the doctor's companions and their relationships and experiences. They represent us, as humans, and are our 'representatives' if you want to call them that in the story. They give us someone else to connect to, who did not cry when Amy and Rory jumped off the building to stop the Weeping Angels (As River Song would say, Spoilers).
8. The show appeals to people all around the world and it creates a global community that connects so many different people all over the world.
9. It can teach us a lot about history with many episodes featuring historical figures such as Queen Elizabeth the 1st, Madame le Pompadour, William Shakespeare and Vincent Van Gogh, you learn just as much as you enjoy without even realising it.
10. You can jump into the show at almost any episode and still have it make sense. The first episode I watched was The Girl in the Fireplace and that is in the second season (of the modern series) with David Tennant as the Doctor.
11. Comedy. The show has serious times but it also has laughter. It is a great balance such that the show does not become a comedy, but it still has light-hearted moments that always make you laugh such as the Doctor always wishing he was ginger after every regeneration.
12. Heart. Throughout the 50 years this show has been running there is one thing it has never lost, its heart. It may be funny, it may be serious but it is also full of heart and emotion with so many highs and so many lows. It really is an almost all-round show.
13. Continuity. The show always continues stories that it left off in previous seasons, if not decades. Sometimes they are small little references and other times they are huge. However, each time you notice one it does give you a bit of a kick.
14. Whovians. Perhaps one of the best things about Doctor Who is the fans. This big fandom around this show (which I am not going to call little) adds an extra element and makes the show that much bigger. Without the fans, Doctor Who would never have made it this far.
15. Donna Noble. Whilst the majority of the other companions were busy flirting with the doctor, Donna here took no such nonsense and did not let the Doctor take advantage of her. She also added another layer of comedy as well as a lot of emotion (have you seen The Fires of Pompeii?)
16. Exterminate! After all these years, the one creature that can strike fear into the hearts of every Whovian through the use of one word is, of course, the Daleks. They may not seem very scary to an outsider but to a Whovian it does not get much worse.
17. Catchphrases. Each Doctor has had their own thing, or catchphrase, that you would often hear them say. For David Tennant it was "Allonsy" and for Matt Smith it was "Geronimo". It added another layer to the Doctor that you would only uncover if you looked hard enough.
18. The Mystery. After 50 years you would think that you would know every secret of the Doctor but oh, we only know the tiniest portion. This time lord has many secrets and it only takes a good writer to weed them out and make out like they were planned since the very beginning.
19. The TARDIS, Time-And-Relative-Dimensions-In-Space. This infinite time machine of the Doctor's again hides many secrets, as we discovered in Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS and as such there is still a lot more to uncover. Oh, and did I mention that it can change?
20. Signature style. The Doctors have many things in common but one easy way to distinguish between them was their signature style. This has been the same since the very beginning and the writers have stayed true to this the whole time. You have Matt Smith's bow-ties, Sylvester McCoy's Umbrella, David Tennant's suit and many more.
21. Torchwood. This government agency looks into and covers up events and issues relating to outer space and, dare I say it, 'Aliens'. This organisation even had its own television series thanks to Doctor Who. Torchwood, you are so awesome.
22. Doctor Explanations. These are when the Doctor tries to make things clear by explaining them but only succeeds in making even less sense. For instance, he explains the time-locked time-war as being trapped inside a giant bubble before saying, oh nothing like that. Matt Smith's Doctor is the worst I have seen as he does this every time. He asks you to think of something and then says it is nothing like that.
23. Monsters. The creative monsters never cease to amaze. At first they seem superficial or just scary but then you find out their background and realise how deep their stories actually are. What whovian has not been creeped out by the Weeping Angels, or being afraid of the shadows thanks to the Vashta Nerada?
24. Stormageddon, the dark lord of all. Who did not immediately fall in love with this baby from the episode Closing Time in Season 6. Craig's reappearance in this story only made fans love the story ever the more.
25. The Doctor's Languages. Is it not very convenient, and hilarious, how the Doctor can speak so many languages, even the ones we never knew actually existed? He can speak baby, animal and many other things. Sometimes I wonder if he just makes half the stuff up. Then I remember he is a fictional character.

See 25 more reasons why I love Doctor Who in tomorrow's post! See you tomorrow!

Iconic Movies

We all have those movies that we never forget and that we watch year after year after year after year without regrets. I have compiled a list of these movies below that I watch repeatedly without regrets.

1. Love Actually


Love actually  is such an iconic Christmas romantic-comedy movie. Filled with a star studded cast, a heart-touching story and hilarious scenes this movie is one my family shamelessly watches year after year. If you have not seen this British comedy, you really should because it is one of the best.

2. Pitch Perfect


This may be a recent film but within a week of receiving the DVD I had already watched it 3 times. Since then I have watched it a few more. It is one of those comedies you can come back to again and again and still not get bored with. I like it and so I put it on this list.

3. The Hunger Games


Do not act surprised, you knew it was coming. I am talking about movies so of course this would come up. The Hunger Games is something I can watch over and over and over again. It is the dramatic representation of a world reeling from a dystopian world with a totalitarian dictator. Confused yet?

You guys should really check out all three of these movies, see you tomorrow!

Decisions, Decisions

You know how annoying it can be to make major decisions in a rush? Decisions like where to go, who to see and where to see Catching Fire are just impossible to make on limited time. The worst part is you can not stay silent and think about it first because then people just stare at each other in an awkward silence. Then this awkwardness just grows to an extent that by the time you have a decision it is too awkward to say anything and so the rest of the time is spent in silence. To avoid this you have to use filler words like "um", "er" or "uh" and after a while of doing this you just seem like a brain-dead idiot. It is just so hard to make decisions on the spot guys, do not put me under such pressure!


So think before you ask me these major decisions. How am I supposed to remember what my favourite movie is so that I can answer immediately after you ask? It just makes me look like an idiot when I go "Hunger Games... no! Catching Fire.... no! Hunger Games" and it gets worse once people realise that Catching Fire has not being released yet and they realise I am presuming this. When you ask me where I want to go do not expect a straight answer. Of the trillions of locations within our world how am I supposed to know where I want to go at that exact moment. Unless I need to go to the toilet really badly I will have no idea. Even then, when someone asks where you want to go "Toilet" is in no way a valid answer. It just leads to an awkward silence and a hasty change of subject. How should I know what I want from the store? I have literally milliseconds to come up with something and then I say something stupid that I will never need like tampons or a life. I mean, come on guys. If you ask me hastily you are going to get a hasty response. Now questions like what do you want to be when you are older, what are you going to study in VCE, do you want to be resuscitated should the need arise are ones that do not require as much thought. Just remember that where I want to watch Catching Fire is going to be a major decision and turning point in my life so do not expect me to answer you immediately, I need time.

So next time you ask any of these important questions, do not expect a responsible answer. See you tomorrow!

Lost

When I say lost I am not discussing the 'popular' television show and instead I am talking about the adjective used to describe an action. This action is often embarrassing and generally annoying. If you have ever lost something, which I am sure you have, then you will know what I mean. It can be very annoying to not have something that you spend ages trying to find. There is so much in our world that we can lose and these can range from our belongings to other things like feelings and other items. No matter what it is that we lose we generally feel something for it. I know in the numerous (and I mean numerous) times that I have lost things that I have always felt really worried, even if it is for a short time. However, nothing can compare (well at the time at least) to the feeling of relief you experience when you find the item you lost. It's magic.


Losing something can turn your good day into something of a nightmare. It can turn the brightest day dull and... Yeah, I am going to stop as I am going off on a crappy metaphorical rampage here. Basically losing something sucks. It sucks so much that you just want to disappear into nothing. I have lost my phone on numerous occasions. Granted these were generally for short periods of time but even for those short periods of time I felt a worry so deep that it manifested into some physical pit in my stomach threatening to... yeah, I really need to stop doing that because it happens too much. Back on the topic, while I search like hell for this I become very religious. At no other point in time am I as religious as when I have lost something. I pray and pray and pray to saint Anthony that I will find what it is I am looking for. Why do I pray to saint Anthony? Well that is because if you lose something you pray to Saint Anthony and you eventually find it. It has worked sometimes for me but I swear he must get so sick of me. Plus, the only time I really get heavily religious is when I lose something so in that respect it is a positive. Anyway, I have to go now because I keep losing track of where I am at.

Don't lose yourself in this blog though I give you permission to do so, see you tomorrow!

The Twelfth Doctor

That's right, BBC has announced the actor to be portraying the Twelfth Doctor. Peter Capaldi was announced as the lucky actor during a special live-broadcast (on ABC at 4am in Australia). If you have been living under a rock or, like the majority of people, do not watch (or follow closely) Doctor Who then you probably had no idea that the eleventh doctor, played by Matt Smith, was finishing (I guess you could sort of call it retiring from the role). This left many fans disappointed earlier this year when it was revealed Smith was leaving but also left others hopeful for the future with talks of possibly a female doctor going around. However, after a long interview process Peter Capaldi was the one selected and we all hope he can fill the big shoes left by many of his predecessors. I just can not wait to see the regeneration which I think is either happening in the 50th Anniversary Special (Premiering late November) or in the proceeding episodes. However, it is time to say goodbye to Matt Smith and looks towards the future and towards Peter Capaldi (I keep wanting to call him Nick, I do not know why).


The 55 year-old actor was born in Scotland is also a film director. He has had many roles throughout his career and is best known (perhaps) for his roles as Malcolm Tucker in the BBC comedy series The Thick of It and its follow-up film In the Loop. It would appear that yet another comedian (or at least actor adept at portraying comedy) is to fill the shoes of the Doctor. However, each Doctor is known for different things and it will be interesting to see how this incarnation of the Doctor acts and reacts to the things around him. At high school he was also the lead singer of the punk-rock band called Dreamboys. Just a bit of a fun fact to lighten the paragraph. For more information on Peter Capaldi you can click this link which will take you to the Wikipedia page because if you can not trust Wikipedia, who can you trust? Just so you know, I am joking here. I know that Wikipedia is not one-hundred-percent reliable. I can not wait to see how this Doctor works and look forward to his appearance.

The Doctor is watching you, see you tomorrow!

The Way Way Back

So tonight I attended the screening of The Way Way Back (see below for trailer) which is such a good movie. Before I go on I would just like to thank Mix 101.1 for allowing me this opportunity and for selecting my entry as one of the winners of the competition. I attended the screening at Hoyts Melbourne Central which are great (large) cinemas. The Way Way Back stars Steve Carell, Toni Collette and Allison Jenney among others. It's a great story of a shy 14-year-old Duncan who goes on Summer vacation with is mother, her overbearing boyfriend, and her boyfriend's daughter. Duncan has a hard time fitting in but finds an unexpected friend in Owen, the manager of the local Water Park. Along the way he also meets a girl and grows in confidence. It is a touching and relatable story and is not superficial at all. I really recommend you see it and give it a 4/5 which is a very good score. Even my 17 year-old brother enjoyed it.




I believe all the actors played their role very role. If you are not thinking of going as you believe it will be an all-comedy movie with a very superficial story line I tell you to disregard your prior knowledge. It may have actors like Steve Carell but it is still a touching and relatable story that will leave you hooked until the end. Toni Collette plays the role of Duncan's mother very well and portrays the emotions the character is going through very well. It really is one of those movies you have to go see as it has both comedy and drama which complement each other. Liam James also plays the role of Duncan exceptionally well and really does remind me of someone very awkward. Duncan is still trying to find his way around the social world and does have some elements of a socially awkward teenager. However, when he gets a job at the local Water Park his confidence increases tremendously and he you see a definite change in his persona from the beginning. In short, which I am sure I have actually said a lot above, The Way Way Back is a success that I highly recommend you go and see.

Thanks again to Mix 101.1 for the opportunity, see you tomorrow!

The Senior Rebellion

The Following Post is meant to be taken in a comedic, non-serious manner and any offence is not intended. I am sorry for any offence caused by the following post. If you do feel like you wish to raise this issue with me feel free to contact me at legolukeytutorials@gmail.com.

They want action but they want it after their nap. The Senior rebellion has begun and we all best watch out because they are coming for us faster than a speeding wheel chair. What do they want? They have not decided yet but they are getting very riled up. This new craze has spread like wildfire in recent weeks and one incident has spiraled into yet another and the seniors want response from the community. They are sick and tired of something but action is not happening fast enough. Put simply, the Seniors are revolting (as in rebelling) and we all best be on the watch.


Recently, Seniors all around Melbourne are 'confusing' the accelerator for the brakes. This causes them to 'accidentally' drive through shop-fronts and into unsuspecting customers. They claim these are all accidents but I see through these lies. I see the frequency of these events as what they are; a secret rebellion involving the elderly generation of our society. All over the state there are secret meetings held in retirement and nursing homes as well as Senior Centers. As of now there is no proof of this but trust me, one day you will all look back at this and think "Wow, Luke really notices these things" though you will all probably think "Wow, Luke really is paranoid." Even I am thinking of that as I am typing. Seriously though, there are shops being run down in Collingwood and Bakeries terrorised in Prahran by confused Seniors. When the time comes let it be known that "Luke warned us" but no one listened. Although this moment, if it ever comes, would surprise me just as much as the next person.

Let it be known that I did warn you, see you tomorrow!

Top 5 Most Successful YouTubers

You all know how much I love YouTube so in today's post I would like to compile a list of the top five most successful YouTubers in terms of subscribers. I hope you can learn to embrace them in the same way as millions of people all around the world.

1. Smosh

With 11,032,350 subscribers it is no wonder that these two comedic YouTubers have the most subscribed channel. The comedic duo consists of Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla who began the channel in 2005. Smosh are known for their comedic videos but have also created gaming channels, Spanish channels and animation/cartoon channels which have some pretty cool videos. Smosh upload a new video every Friday and you never know what they are going to come up with next. As with all the following YouTubers I highly recommend you check out their videos and subscribe to them while you are there because they really are one-of-a-kind on a site where there are so many similar styled videos.


2. PewDiePie

This Swedish YouTuber with 9,911,844 subscribers is a hilarious video-game commentator who creates some pretty out-there videos. On a site where "out-there" is greatly embraced it is no wonder that he has become such an internet sensation. His channel was only created in 2009 so it is amazing how fast he has risen in the YouTube hierarchy. In May of 2013 PewDiePie was awarded the Most Popular Social Show in the inaugural Starcount Social Stars Awards in Singapore. If you are into comedy, games and fun then you really should check out his channel.


3. Jenna Marbles

9,766,233 Subscribers do not lie when they say that Jenna Marbles is one of the best YouTubers around. Jenna Marbles uploads a new video every Wednesday and also writes a blog about different thoughts that go through her mind. Often her videos are a little "out-there" but so are all of the popular YouTube sensations. If you like someone who says what they think than Jenna Marbles is the YouTuber/Blogger for you.


4. Ray William Johnson

Ray William Johnson is the American video blogger, producer and actor who is  best known for his Equals Three (=3) series in which he provides hilarious commentary on viral videos. It is no wonder that this man has become the fourth most subscribed channel with 9,539,823 and has recently made the announcement to upload more equals three videos every week, an announcement that could move him up the YouTube hierarchy. In May of this year he signed a deal to produce a sitcom for the American Television Network FX which just goes to show how YouTube really can change your life as well as help it move beyond your wildest dreams.


5. NigaHiga

The fifth but far from least YouTuber on this list has earned his spot through hard work, dedication and comedy that appears natural. 9,151,836 Subscribers will attest to this and show you how hilarious and funny NigaHiga is. NigaHiga was created in July of 2006 and has since grown into a comedic icon. HigaTV is another of Ryan Higa's YouTube channels which contains vlogs and behind-the-scenes videos of the making of many of his weekly videos. NigaHiga's community has grown immensely over the previous years and it would not be hard to envision him moving further up these rankings in the coming years.


All of the above YouTubers are worthy of their rankings and have worked hard and show pure talent to become as popular as they are. I strongly recommend you check out all of their videos and if you like what you see then do subscribe and maybe you could help bring their rankings up.

Movies

Movies are magical creations and can transport us to different worlds. Movies can make us feel good, or they can make us feel bad. Sometimes movies can scare us and other times make us laugh. The good thing about movies is that they come in many different lengths and genres meaning they could suit anybody. You have documentaries, comedies, sci-fi films, chick flicks (sorry for sounding so colloquial), Romances or even a western. Of course, there are also many other genres out there (like Anime) but if I listed them all we would be here for days. Personally I enjoy movies as they allow me to escape somewhere I have never been before, even if just for an hour or two. Of course, not all movies are good and some of them make us wish we could have our time back. A good example of a movie like this was the movie called "The Tree of Life" which I think starred Brad Pitt. Some of the critics were saying how great the movie was and how deep and entertaining it was and while I was watching I actually fell asleep. It was utter crap in my opinion but still, some people like that kind of movie which is why I say they appeal to everybody, although people will certainly not always like the same thing.


Sometimes movies are made based on books, 'true' events, manga or some other type of text. Sometimes the film adaptation is a whole lot better than the original (not that I can think of any off the top of my head), some of them were on the same par as the original (like Beautiful Creatures) and some of them are just plain horrible. Sometimes film-makers try to stretch out an already over-stretched film franchise and it is just one of those things you go to see knowing you won't enjoy it but you still want to go. You would not believe how many times that has happened to me, although (admittedly) sometimes I do enjoy myself and pretend not to so I don't embarrass myself. Basically, I like films when they are good and to my liking. Sometimes film franchises are really successful (like James Bond or Harry Potter) and you can not wait to see the next one. Those are the sort of movies I like as they have a continuation rather than just one movie and that is it. I like to find out what happens after the resolution. It's probably the reason why I like vlogs on YouTube; I like to see how people's lives turn out but not in a stalker-ish fashion (that's right, over 100 posts and I'm still making up words). Movies, for me, are a wonderful invention and I wonder what our World would be like without them.

Be sure to be mindful of other cinema-goers, see you tomorrow!

YouTube Subscriptions Part 6

Part 6 and we are already way past half-way through these. It really is starting to show, and this time I actually mean it. Already I have begun to skip videos less and less. Of course, even in the channels that I really enjoy watching I sometimes skip videos that would not interest me. However, it has saved me a lot of time and has actually come in handy for my training for Kokoda as I do not have to slow down to skip certain videos. Cutting down on my YouTube subscriptions really has helped me. At the start of this post I am at 75 subscriptions (I may have lost one somewhere between this post and the previous one), let's get this number down. Also, this is the last one in this series so you will be able to see the results right at the end of this post.

Image Source: http://www.ospika.com/

Screen Junkies is the first channel of the day I am unsubscribing from as I no longer watch any of their videos. They make honest trailers which is where they put voice overs on trailers that make it a whole lot funnier. I am simply unsubscribing as I have stopped watching their videos. Shane Dawson TV is another of those channels that makes funny music videos and the like but I am unsubscribing as I no longer watch any of his videos. Shannon Uncut and Shannon Uncut 2 are the channels of an Australian YouTuber who is an older-teenager. Shit Girls Say is a hilarious channel that has, sadly, five videos of a guy (that is dressed up really well as a girl) saying this girls would say. It is really funny but they have not uploaded in such a long time that I am unsubscribing. Shooter Williamson is another Australian Comedy YouTuber who makes really funny videos on his thoughts. He often uses a 'bogan' accent which makes it heaps funnier. I am definitely remaining subscribed. Shut Up Cartoons is the cartoon channel of Smosh but I only subscribed for the Oishi High School Battle cartoon series they had which was great except it has since finished. So it is a goodbye to them. Silvakeyzz is a channel I only subscribed to because it had all the 'Bogan Pride' episodes on it (a TV show created by Rebel Wilson). As I have finished Bogan Pride I am unsubscribing. Smosh, which is the most subscribed channel on YouTube, is one of my favourite channels that I love watching as they do have funny videos which they upload every Friday (so we get them on Saturday in Australia) which are genuinely comedic. Star Kid Potter is a channel of a theatre group which makes funny parodies of films or television shows in a musical length. Recently they have also made their own original shows which are funny but I do not watch them any more so am unsubscribing from it. Strawburry17 is the main channel of one of the vloggers I watch (Lifeburry). I only ever subscribed to this channel because of that reason but I never watch the videos so it is a goodbye. SuperNateB3 is one of the channels I have no idea how I managed to subscribe to them so, of course, it is a goodbye.


TAC Victoria is the official YouTube channel of the Victorian Branch of the TAC which I subscribed to while working on the Wipe off 5 Assignment earlier this year. I am unsubscribing to them as, obviously, I have finished the assignment and no longer need it. Tay Zonday is a YouTuber I found through one of my other YouTubers. He has a really deep, distinct voice that makes his videos interesting but I do not watch them anymore so I would not know. Teen is the official YouTube channel of Teen.com which I subscribed to because a few of my YouTubers work for them and their channel but I do not watch their videos anymore so goodbye! Teenageflakes1, how did I subscribe to you? Goodbye. The Boston Globe is the YouTube channel of the Boston Globe which I only subscribed to for updates on The Boston Bombings, so since that is over so is my subscription. The Ellen Show is the official YouTube channel of The Ellen Show which I subscribe to as they upload some of the best clips from the show that day which is good so I do not have to watch the whole show. My subscription is remaining where it is, thank you. The Fine Bros make videos of peoples reactions to other YouTube Videos. It is good because they have Elders React, Teens React, Kids React and YouTubers React so there is a lot of variety and they do have very interesting and funny reactions. I am definitely keeping my subscription. The Grid Monster is the Vlog channel of a friend of a YouTuber I like watching but I never really watched her videos so it is another goodbye to yet another channel. The Hunger Games Movie is the official channel of The Hunger Games movies so of course I am remaining subscribed! Do you think I am feeling ill? Theme Park Studio is another of the channels I have no idea how I managed to subscribe to. Goodbye I guess to them. The Most Popular Girls in School is a hilarious web series online which is made of stop-motion animation barbie dolls and the like. But trust me, do not let anyone under the age of 15 watch it as it has very adult material. No sex scenes but it is mentioned a lot and there is a fair bit of swearing but that is what adds to it's hilarity. I am so not unsubscribing!


The Pet Collective is a channel dedicated solely to animal videos and they have some really cute ones on there! They also have several live cams of puppies and other dogs. It is really a great channel and I recommend you subscribe because just one video will certainly lift your mood (unless you are someone who feels no emotion or just really hates animals). I am remaining subscribed in case you did not get that. Tobuscus is a channel I only ever really watched once and now he's uploads are just really clogging up my news feeds. He made some really good music parodies of trailers which are funny but they are all of the videos of his I actually ever watched so it is a goodbye to him. Tom Ska is the person behind the ASDF movies which are really funny by the way and he also makes really good short films so of course I am remaining subscribed! Troye Sivan, I have no idea how I managed to subscribe to you so it is a goodbye from me. Tyler Oakley is yet another mystery, goodbye as well. Victorious Sponge is a comedy channel on YouTube I subscribed to while procrastinating so it is a goodbye to them, though they are funny. Vlogs With Jim is the Vlog Channel of Jim Chapman who, if you had of read one of the previous parts, has a main channel which I unsubscribed from because I only watch his vlogs. So, it is certainly not a goodbye to this one today. Watch us Live and Stuff is the Vlog channel of Anthony from Smosh and his girlfriend, Kalel. I unsubscribed from Anthony's personal channel as he said he was moving to that one and they do upload a lot of videos but I never find myself wanting to watch them so it is a goodbye from me completely from Anthony, besides Smosh of course! WDWINFO is a channel dedicated to all things Walt Disney World and the like but I only ever watched one of their videos as it is a fan-made channel so it is a goodbye to them. Wicked Australia is a channel dedicated to the musical Wicked for Australia but I only watch the official Wicked one I mentioned in Part 5 two days ago so it is a goodbye to them and the same goes for Wicked the Musical Oz. Winter Spring Pro is a channel one of my favourite YouTubers was on but he has since left and so I have stopped watching these videos and it is a goodbye from me.


WongFu Productions is another channel I watched for a few weeks and then stopped so it is a goodbye from me. Wyndham City is a channel I can not remember subscribing to and for what reason so it is a goodbye from me. xXJessWorldXx is another one of those channels, why does this keep happening to me. Well, best unsubscribe and move on. Yaouzer and YeahImNatalia are also being unsubscribed for the same reason. What is happening? YouNowLive is another one of these, seriously, something must be going on. YourChonny is the second or third channel of popular Australian YouTuber Mychonny who makes funny comedy videos. I am definitely remaining subscribed. Finally, the last channel on my subscription list is YouTube itself who I subscribed to after the year in review thing they did last year with Gangnam Style and Call me Maybe. It is a great channel but I am unsubscribing just because I can. That is all of my subscriptions and now for some results! I began at the start of all this with 153 subscriptions and I finish with a total of 41 subscriptions! Wow, that just goes to show how many junk channels I was subscribed to although, of course, I do not mean their videos were bad, some of them were actually pretty good but just did not appeal to me. As this was the last part do not expect to see a Part 7 any time soon.

Organised Subscriptions lead to an organised life, see you tomorrow!
