Long Time No See....

             Hey guys. Matt Laskorski here and after almost 2 years i finally got around to making these again. Now as many of you know, the world has changed since 2016. Donald Trump is the President, we experienced huge losses and terrorist attacks, and "The Emoji Movie." Its only a few of the many things that have occurred throughout society but what about my life?

             Since 2016, my record collection has grown, primarily my Phil Collins collection. I got rid of the PS2 I had since Christmas 2004. Sad day for me but it was fort the best. I got more DVDs and a replacement tablet because the other ones speakers blew out and the screen was bulging out like my phone. I also got a job (unpaid) as Broadcast Engineer at my dads radio station in Beekman, NY called WBXO Radio. I've also learned how to work vinyl records and have increased my vinyl record collection. I converted more VHS tapes to DVD and so much other wacky stuff i can go into right now but what about personal terms?

              Last time I wrote a blog I was in a good relationship with someone from my old High school. She's now a senior now. I recently called it quits with her in January 2017 because of growing tensions and she started saying i lie a lot to get out of somethings revolving around her. She thinks i'm self- involved now. I am now trying to get her to give me some space for a while and at the time of writing this block, I am currently on a hiatus from dating after 2 girlfriends over the course of 4 years. My first girlfriend who I had a fight with in 2016 and I rekindled our friendship at the 2017 prom (which i originally didn't wanna go to) and we've grown closer again. Nothing is for certain yet in terms of dating again but hopefully when the time is right, i'll get back into the game and see if I can (re)start something new. Next up, family relationships.

                2017 was a tough year for family relationships because my Pop-Pop was diagnosed with colon cancer and he got surgery that summer. I was afraid that he wasn't going to survive during that time because his progress was up and down but he eventually made it and thankfully he's still with us. My dad got eye surgery so now he sees better than ever. He still needs glasses though. Now to the tough one, during my third college class, my family discovered that my moms right leg was in terrible shape so she had to get it replaced in November 2017. I sacrificed all of my time to help her recover and she still needs some help cause sometime soon, she'll have the other leg replaced. Now i hope all of the family is healthy again.

                 Now for the last bits of information, I was finally cleared to begin driving last year and I officially got my drivers license on the second try. Started wearing my glasses more often again, and now I'm back to writing blogs. Any more updates I can remember I'll let you know. So that's it for this blog, I hope to get back to writing these very, very soon. Thanks for reading.

My 10 Favorite Albums

Hey everybody, Matt Laskorski back again. I know I haven't kept any promises to bring you weekly blogs yet but I had a very busy schedule up my hands with college and all. Now that i'm back, I'm going to do something a little bit interesting. I'm going to share with you my Top 10 albums of all time. These are the albums I can't help but listen to all the way through because they are too good to listen to just one song from. Also i'll not be covering any compilation or soundtrack album. So lets get to it.

10.

Billy Joel "52nd Street": This album really dug deep into Billy Joel's city life and with hits such as "Big Shot", "Honesty", and "My Life", this albums meaningful lyrics and catchy tunes, even on the album tracks and the interesting title track, definitely earned a top spot on my list.

9.

Metallica "...And Justice For All": In the "Behind the Music" special, the narrator declared this album "a progressive, frenzied and violent album that pronounced the death of the American Dream". Every track on the album is near perfect (yes, even the song "One") except you couldn't hear Jason Newsted's bass line. It was his first Metallica album after the death of Cliff Burton and this was one of the main examples of how bad he was treated when he first got the job.

8. 

The B-52's "Cosmic Thing": Released 4 years after the death of bassist Ricky Wilson, this album has a more upbeat catchy tune than its previous album. One of the main reasons why I love this album is, apart from its two hits ("Love Shack" and "Roam"), the songs became more interesting and had quite a lot of fantastic story telling. The instrumental "Follow Your Bliss" closed out the album perfectly and made it one of my favorite songs ever.

7. 

The Cars "Panorama": Ok, so its one of their least popular albums, but its one of my top two favorite albums by The Cars. Dark tone? Yes. The tracks however has really interesting concepts explained throughout. Not many love songs but its very complex and when it comes to interesting songs, I can listen to many of the tracks over and over again.

6.

Genesis "Genesis": Ok. Don't be fooled by the album cover and the title of the album. It was their 12th album and it was released in a period when Genesis turned more into a Pop band. However, many of the songs really aren't that much love songs so it's still more of a Rock album, plus "Home by the Sea/Second Home by the Sea" was one of the few examples that the band can still pull off 11 minute classics just like they did in the 1970s. Oh and a message to my friends who listen to Phil Collins, he was on this album and a ton of others so please listen to something that's not just "In The Air Tonight"

5.

Phil Collins "...But Seriously": Ok, this is an album that is NOT "In The Air Tonight." A very important album by Phil and its not even Disney's "Tarzan" either. He was actually speaking out about real life in general as well as some love songs. "Colours" and "Another Day In Paradise" were excellent attempts to understand today's world. "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven" is yet another great Phil Collins love song. Definite recommendation.

4. 

Squeeze "Frank": Ok, barely any hits off the record but every track for me is definitely worth listening. For me it's Squeeze's perfect record, next to "Argybargy." I personally say that there should've been some hit singles off of the records but it was a shame for 1989 but I still give this album an A+ for great pop/new wave songs and excellent lyrics. What a great way to end Jools Holland's second tenure with the band before he went on to host the popular music show "Later...with Jools Holland."

3.

Green Day "American Idiot": Ok, first it was an album, then it became Broadway album. Spawned many hits, won multiple MTV Video Music Awards, and it was a huge concept album that is just.....Incredible. "Jesus of Suburbia" is the perfect track off the album along from the title track, the hit song "Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams", and "Wake Me Up When September Ends." When I first listened to these songs when I was 8 (2005), I was immediately amazed. These were many of the tracks that I listen to over and over again whenever I hear Green Day, then I would go and listen to "Longview" from the album "Dookie."

2.

The Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band": You really think I was gonna exclude a Beatles album from this list??? The greatest album of all time is definitely listed as one of my two favorite albums for many reasons. All of the tracks. ALL OF THE TRACKS, are perfect. Completing The Beatles transformation from just love songs about women, to an all new concept album. One of the first concept albums. "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" may be my personal favorite Beatles albums but this album will always top many album lists. I hailed "A Day In the Life" as one of my top 2 favorite songs due to its concept, its tune, its mood, and mostly the orchestra and the "final chord." Ok, all of the song have been made when the band was using drugs but believe me, even though the drugs were bad, they definitely made history with tracks such as "With a Little Help from My Friends", "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" and "Good Morning Good Morning." Definitely qualified for being the greatest record of all time.

IMPORTANT: Before I get to Number 1, I just like to state for the record that i was gonna chose "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" at Number 2 because I believed it could've been a better double album than "The White Album" but because it was 2 separate albums, I chose "Sgt. Pepper" because it is my closest to my most favorite Beatles record.

And my Number 1 favorite album is:

Genesis "...And Then There Were Three...": Ok there may have been one pop track that signified the future of the band on this album but the rest was complex Progressive Rock. Now I'm a huge fan of complex albums as well as Rock and Pop albums (including Madonna), but this album really qualified as not only my favorite album of all time but also my favorite Genesis album of all time. Its complex, dark tracks such as "Burning Rope", "Down and Out" and the epic storytelling of Little Nemo in "Scenes from a Night's Dream" really made this stand out as an excellent album to my ears. It also contains a huge track that is also my favorite Genesis song "Many Too Many." It will be the one soft moody song that calms me down every now and then but theres also other stuff that i really love. After this, Phil Collins tried to save his marriage but it failed, resulting in the song "In The Air Tonight." The rest is history.

There are many other favorites of mine that I wish I could review but I'll just list some Honorable Albums that didn't make the list that you should definitely take a listen to (No Pictures Included):

• The Cars "Candy-O"
• Genesis "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"
• The Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour" "Revolver" and "Rubber Soul"
• Duran Duran "Rio"
• Metallica "Load" and "ReLoad"
• Elton John "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"
• Madonna "True Blue"
• Phil Collins "Face Value" (with "In The Air Tonight")
• The Police "Synchronicity"
• U2 "War" and "The Unforgettable Fire"

That about wraps up my list of albums I love and some albums that I could've put on this list but maybe they'll make it onto some list someday. Anyways, hopefully soon, I'll be back with a new blog. Hope you enjoyed. Comment your favorite album below and it doesn't have to be any of the albums I mentioned on this list. Hope to see you next time :)

Top 5 Beatles Albums

Hey I'm Sorry I haven't been on in a while, things have been a little crazy but i'm back to making a blog post at least once a week once I have the time. Anyways, this year The Beatles reissued their compilation album "1" with a deluxe edition with music videos included and I thought I would take time to review my 5 favorite Beatles albums.

5.

Opinion: Okay, it's been 51 years since the Beatles landed on American soil in 1964 and Beatlemania started to sweep the world. Of course in their beginning years, they wrote many love and pop songs that became major successes. This is no exception, and its not boring either. Ranging from its simple title track to the slow, soft "If I Fell", to the funky "Can't Buy Me Love" it basically won over girls hearts. I rank it my number 5 because basically it has so many love songs, I feel the need to listen to some of them once in a while but its an excellent album.

4.

Opinion: The Beatles started to get into films like Elvis Presley was doing in the late 50s. The love songs haven't changed a bit except for new styles and great lyrics. The title track sort of stuck out as a concept track instead of a love song because it's basically a cry for help and we can all use help every day. The rest of the album manage to live up to the success of "A Hard Day's Night" and "Beatles for Sale" It's my number 4 spot because I basically listen to the film more than the album. It's still excellent though.

3. 

Opinion: Ok, it's a poor film and the Beatles manager Brian Epstein died the same year (1967) that this album and "Sgt Pepper" was released. I view this as "It's an awful movie with a great soundtrack." And the soundtrack is fantastic because it followed the psychedelia that was building in 1967 and the Beatles did a lot of LSD which is what caused their concept albums to be made. The 2nd part of this album contained popular singles such as "All You Need is Love" and "Hello, Goodbye" and then there's "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane" which I think was the pre show for the #2 spot which many call "The Greatest Album of All Time"

2. 

Opinion: Rock Opera? Well it's a concept album. Probably the first true one, WAY before The Moody Blues, Genesis, Yes and King Crimson came along. This album really symbolized a period in the 60's and had an influence for decades to come. "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is well known and even though it revolves around drugs, who wouldn't love this track? The final track with a weird inner groove sound after the final chord, "A Day in the Life" will never be upstaged by another for the greatest song ever. From the point of view lyrics to the orchestral crescendos or "Musical Orgasm" as Beatles producer George Martin calls it, to the very famous final piano chord at the very end of this song, no other album by any artist can be any more perfect than this. Sorry Adele, "21" isn't the greatest album ever. I know this would go at #1 but I had to call it #2 because it really took me a while to grow with the rest of the tracks of this album. Again, Greatest Album EVER!!

My #1 spot is a dead lock tie between two albums:

"I don't see too much difference between Revolver and Rubber Soul. To me, they could be Volume 1 and Volume 2"

-George Harrison, Lead Guitarist of The Beatles

Opinion: Ok, THIS marked the beginning of a new era for Music, and especially for The Beatles. Getting stoned and doing LSD is bad but this is what helped make these two masterpieces. It still has love songs but basically it was like the slow birth of the concept album and The Beatles first use of a sitar ("Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" and tape loops ("Tomorrow Never Knows"). Even the song "Nowhere Man" was fit to be a song for a concept album such as this or maybe Sgt, Pepper. "Run for Your Life" is basically an opposite love song basically because of the lyrics "I catch you with another man and that's the end-ah....little girl". I'm a huge fan of this song no question about it. Even more complex tracks such as "Taxman", the world famous "Eleanor Rigby" and "Yellow Submarine", even "And Your Bird Can Sing" can definitely tell that the Beatles were stoned in the recording process but it was a ridiculously great concept song. "Rubber Soul" was released in 1965 and "Revolver" was released in 1966.

Review of "Tomorrow Never Knows": The last track of "Revolver" but the first to be recorded. I can't even describe in words how many complex ideas I can get from this song because its my 2nd to favorite Beatles song. #1 song being "Day Tripper." "Tomorrow Never Knows" basically hypnotized me to go to another world and the tape loops, the "Tibetan Book of the Dead"-like lyrics, along with a simple drum pattern combined together in so many mysterious ways that this can be considered like a song to listen to while you're on any drug. The Phil Collins version of the song was more trippy and not many people liked it (except me) but this track was basically a true beginning to a radical departure of JUST love songs for any artist. It now symbolized the artistic form of a concept album which would then be perfected in "Sgt. Pepper" a year later.

Summary; Basically I am more of a fan of the Beatles more artistic material than just the love songs they created in their early career but I love them all the same. "Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" should've been a double album. The White Album really wasn't that good for me because it barely had album tracks I can listen to and "Let it Be" was like their "sell-out" album even though it had some good songs and very poor songs but the "Yellow Submarine" soundtrack and "Abbey Road" quickly pulled them out of it really symbolizing the near end of an era. In all aspects of their career, they perfected music and I have never been more happy to be a fan of their artistic concept material that they started in 1965 onward to 1969 and the two songs they released in 1995 as well.

So leave your opinions on the albums in the comments below and maybe I'll be back with another blog next week if I have the time. :)

My First Full Month in Pleasant Valley

So, a little more than a month ago I moved from my longtime home town of Pawling, NY to Pleasant Valley, NY. Living in an apartment has been a really good but a bit of a hard adjustment because I don't get to see my friends/loves from Pawling that much anymore. Pawling is a dumb, horrible town I know but I also made very good memories there before High School came along. I made some good memories in High School but the rest of the time was really difficult but I had my best friends along side me to help me out.

Even my first girlfriend ever, helped me get through some tough situations and I've understood her problems since the day we met. Hope things get better from her but enough on that. Pleasant Valley has been a good transition because I live in a town with sidewalks. I've tried pizza from Amores and Madisons Pizza Cafe and I loved them both. I now live near a McDonald's which my old BOCES bus passed by all the time and I also can walk to the Dunkin' Donuts that's there so that I can have myself a few donuts, We still have crap to unpack still but I think I can call this a good transition because I have a new environment I'm comfortable with.

I'm now 11 months without a seizure. Which means hopefully by next month I'll be clear to do Drivers Ed and begin driving when I get a permit. I hope to start getting a job and having a job by next month and I hope to get the Placement Test done for Dutchess Community College already cause I'm already getting bored in the apartment. So I got some goals to accomplish by winter and I hope I succeed.

How Today's Music Sucks for a New Generation.

Ok, time has changed since I was born and Music was progressing into the boy band, pop girl, techno-style of the late 90s and early 2000s. Now its 2015, and it is now hell for Music creativity today. More scandals, less talent, and the one who are famous with no talent just want money. Basically new music today really lacks luster and has sore interest and it quite has many influences towards people my age and very annoying factors when it comes to how good it can turn out or how bad it really is. Here is a few of my main points:

The "Singing": Basically, artists can get discovered by their singing, once they get that coming they can become famous now, but when it hits big time, your voice either makes it or breaks it. Commonly, auto-tuning has become the hell of singing voices. Plus the artists barely write any songs now. It's just producers and other random people writing songs for them to sing, so that the singer can be famous. Example: Rebecca Black. The main over-use of Auto-tuning came with the ever-so-awful release of "Friday" in 2011. There was barely any true singing at bat, the worst melody that anyone can hear, piercing lyrics that makes your ears bleed out of anger. I think this is why singers become famous now, because they do NOTHING!!!!

Fame and Fortune: The young and worthy becomes the greedy and the snobbiest. Being famous gives you money, Popularity can make or break you. You are popular at first for either doing something or doing nothing and you're nice and all, but then it destroys you. Example(s): Justin Bieber was once a good boy who sings and can write such annoying songs. Now he's basically a bad thug walking down every path of fame and is still obsessing over Selena Gomez. Basically, he is now sort of a criminal type. Miley Cyrus is no better. She traded the innocent "Hannah Montana" motif to become Hollywood's greatest twerking, naked, fake a''. Even artists who do nothing can let success think they're the greatest people in the world and that they're better than everyone, but you shouldn't dwell up in the fortune man, it does things to you.

They don't write songs, They only sing songs that others write for them: Ok, artistry can be in the form of a book, painting, or a poem. Songs dominate all if they are truly written by a true original that is good at writing songs. Todays standard, after like the first couple songs that they write alone that make them stars, they do nothing but just dance, twerk, and wiggle their bum. The songs now are written for the famous stars to sing and the fans love to hear the superstar sing about the stuff THEY DID NOT WRITE!!! Now this is the fun part, how many songs besides "Friday" and "Baby" and...."Anaconda" (ugh) have you heard now? If anyone had a true brain like me, the songs from "Frozen" are basically the ear rapes of the century. The songs have gotten so irritating that I now say this. No, I don't "want to build a snow man", and I want "Let it Go" to just go away and that good music should come back "For the first time in Forever."

Final Thoughts: Music has gone downhill since 2009 (possibly 2010). If you need to listen to true music before this decade, even if it means going to listen to the pop girl rap filled boy band glory that was once the 90s and the early 2000s, DO IT NOW!!! It's better than listening to some Cyrus, Bieber, Minaj, Chris Brown and all that other crap the kills peoples ears. Remember, they didn't change the world, THE BEATLES CHANGED THE WORLD!!!!!!

The End!

Aspergers and Epilepsy: My two weaknesses

Aspergers Syndrome (Autism):

There are two words I can use to describe my Autistic condition: Socially awkward. I'm basically very nervous meeting people for the first time. I also tend to come quite down and overreact sometimes. I basically get irritated a lot when things don't go my way and even when i get criticized and insulted all because I make one single statement. I've had a tough battle with it for basically all of my life thus far. I'm out of High School, and now the hardest challenge on my world right now is how to actually feel comfortable with new people. High School gave me complete terror even when my grades were going up and down. Many things that stick out at me basically gets annoying on me because I don't like it. I always play my music really loud through my headphones but people always tell me to turn it down even though they got their headphones on really loud. Its basically any and every move I make could either go up or way down hill. Result: Special educational classes, adapting to new changes, and just trying to get through life not being confused, stressed, and rejected. I still have to go through these problems today, even though I have talents in other things such as my singing and drumming ability, but the major cause of me being quiet a lot is basically because people would tell me to shut up and that no one cares and that i'm just annoying. I've been becoming more quiet to the world and the one thing that isn't helping getting my hopes up is my epilepsy.

Epilepsy:

I mark 12/1/12 is my breaking point in my own social hell. Been through too much insults in Drama Club a couple weeks back and many other social problems through Facebook, etc. I ended up suffering my first seizure. I've been limited back from a lot of things because of it, especially driving. My social life and my private life worsened because of it that I started to fail geometry that year and that my summer became hell because I suffered a seizure on the day of the June 2013 Global Regents, which meant that I had to take it in August and that I would be suffering a summer working my butt off to pass. Then I ended up having 4 seizures in 2 days that July. I still ask myself "Why am I cursed with this stupid condition?" I now sit back and try to climb out of a slump so that I can live a normal life but being put back by this disorder isn't helping me any better because I'm still stuck at home with my parents. It's hard for me to go anywhere right now unless I have supervision. I want freedom, I want justice, and I wish that I was never born with an epileptic bone in my body.

Final Thoughts: These two conditions also had a change in the way I act. I try to battle these things but it barely works because then it becomes disaster all over again. I speak to the world when I now exclaim these statements: Why are you doing this to me God?? Why do you now give me bad luck even though I don't want it? All I want is to be treated fairly like everyone else. I want to speak out without having anyone crack down my back with mean comments that make me want to shoot them. I want to finally live my life with the feeling that I don't need to be pushed around or confused or even pressured by someone to basically do something. I want a promise to be kept and to not be turned around. I wish people wouldn't steal my place when someone needs my help. If I can't get any of these wishes granted, then I won't know what to do!

VHS, DVD, or Blu-Ray. Your Choice.

Ok, so I'm sure a lot of people in my generation years ago were happy when our parents brought us a TV show or a movie to watch without having to go somewhere. If you could think back to when you were really little back in the 90s, you probably remember that there were once VHS tapes. By the new millennium, we finally caught onto DVDs and now its Blu-Ray mania. Even now when new films are released and old movies return to theaters, they want to make it 3-D and then they want to bring that to DVD too. There are many pros and cons to all of this hooplah of which format is better. VHS, DVD, or Blu-ray discs? Well, allow me to give my input on which one is the best using one of my favorite animated movies of all time: Toy Story

VHS 1996:

In Thanksgiving 1995, "Toy Story" is a movie that changed the way we looked at animated films. It was highly acclaimed by critics and movie fans. It came to VHS in October of 1996. Ok, now the waiting time between 1995 and 1996 was extremely unfair, but I'm sure people at last can finally witness a loved film all over again. Now here's my view on how VHS tapes went according to this.

Ok first off, as usual, you get the FBI screens which no one ever reads, and then they show you trailers and promos for upcoming material from any company or in this case, Disney. Now, the previews may be over 10 minutes long, but you can't help but figure that retro is cooler than annoying crap we see ever on DVDs because now the previews can be about near 20 minutes long and stalls your time. Now this generation firmly agrees that ads are annoying. When you look back on old stuff they used to show at the beginning and the end of VHS tapes, you would be surprised with what it was like then. Oh and on 80% of VHS tapes that existed, they were always in full-screen. We didn't have HD yet. If you wanted widescreen so it can fit a long television, then you would have to pay either $30 for a special widescreen tape or you can go for a current platform like this:

DVD 2000: 

By the late 90s, DVD's were becoming more popular as it provided more of a clearer crisp picture than what you would find on a VHS tape. Plus it won't glitch up on you like the way VHS tapes do which makes the tapes get destroyed. DONT ABUSE VHS TAPES!!!! A con about DVDs is that they are easily scratchable. I know, I noticed. However no one notices it because they want to see the film and DVDs still work good to this very day with every film or TV show or Short Film but more cons have been growing since near the end of the last decade. Previews would go up to maybe about 15 to 20 minutes long. It can take you forever to get to the main menu of the disc so you can start watching the film, unless you press a "Menu" button on your remote. Yes DVD players also have the ability to fast forward, rewind and pause just like a VHS remote but DVDs now include chapters, other audio languages, new surround sound technology, and subtitles for the hearing impaired. I always loved putting up subtitles because I want to memorize the movie. I'm sure other people have done that before. Plus you get new bonus material that you never get on VHS such as deleted scenes, games, interviews and documentaries about what you're watching. VHS tapes declined rapidly and in 2006, VHS tapes are no longer being made because of a new brand of success.

HD DVD vs Blu-Ray:

Ok, we all new the HD revolution was happening by 2006 with many TV shows, there were two kinds of special dvds going head to head in war. As far as I can see HD DVD discs are like.. what the title says. Crisp picture and sound but no extra features. The war went on for 2 years and Blu-Ray won in the end. Another con I can point out that has nothing to do with a Blu-Ray, DVD, or VHS tapes. It basically has to do with LOGO PLASTERING!!!! Here is a good example:

Blu-Ray 2010: 

Ok, Blu-Ray slowly became popular in its early years, by 2010 it became more popular than its ever been. When "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2" made its comeback to theatres in 2009, it was successful. Why? Because they want to put it on Blu-Ray and Blu-Ray 3D (ugghhh). Not only does it include a crisp picture, newer sound, and more revolution in quality, it also gained newer features and because of the size of the disc, many features from the previous releases of the DVD made its way into the Blu-Ray release. All the materials are connected together at last and it became really cool to the consumers looking forward. Still has the cons as a normal DVD would have but its stronger and almost scratch resistant so please be careful.

Now there is one more thing that I want to point out about. The 2009 re-release may have the same films with higher picture and sound quality but there is one thing I despise with a burning pashion: LOGO PLASTERING!!! They did it with television companies and other movie companies but they had to do it to the worlds first computer animated motion picture. In the original release it was just the CGI 1995 Disney logo fading into Andy's wallpaper with its famous music intact. The Pixar logo that we know today didn't come in until after the end credits were over. The 1995 CGI logo replayed again but this time with flag wave sounds and pixie dust. Thanks to the Disney-Pixar merge in Summer 2006, the 1995 logo changed to Disney's current logo. In the 2009 re-release, the Disney logo we know today came in before the Pixar logo. The Pixar logo stays up for a few seconds and then fades out into Andy's wallpaper, cutting out half of the original opening music. Then after the end credits this time, its the current Disney logo (short version) showing and then they fade it to the Pixar logo.

Tampering around with a couple stuff with an original movie ruins some emotion between die-hard fans and other people in general and the fact that they have to turn it into 3D, I mean come on. 3D is a major ripoff. When I went to see Toy Story 3 in theatres, I wasn't impressed, it wasn't popping out at me just like what everyone says. All it does is just zoom out and zoom right back in. I HATE PLASTERS AND 3D RIP OFFS!! However Toy Story 3 was still a fantastic picture for a person to lay eyes on, but there were also some tear-shedding moments as well. Here's to the next "Toy Story" film.

My choice on format: In a statement, I go with VHS tapes. I mean don't get me wrong, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs are revolutionary and I like it a lot, but you can't help but feel that the past is better than the present and I mean all the VHS tapes do is just show some previews and takes you to the movie at an instant. Plus old tapes never took forever so VHS is my number one preference. DVD is my number 2 and Blu-Ray discs are basically a 2.5 because its just a DVD, just more features included.

However, Id like to hear from you which you prefer: VHS, DVD, or Blu-Ray. Your Choice.

And now to Paraphrase all "Feature Presentation" logos that you hear on 95% of VHS tapes, "And now, the end of our Feature Presentation" (or blog, sort of),
