Kirsten Dunst - Blog Posts
Last night I had a crazy @$$ dream.
So it's raining outside, my dad decides to go fishing in the rain in the parking lot like a crazy person. He does this jokingly but brings his actual fishing stuff.
My mom, who is not my actual mom but is now Kirsten Dunst (as a redhead), comes out of the car and let's us kids play in the rain.
Then my dad's friend (a famous guy I can't remember now) also shows up and just starts talking to him.
Suddenly Thor and Lady Thor fly in and begin talking with my dad as well.
But none of that matters because freaking BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY SHOWS UP! He drifts in, parks perfectly, and is dressed like he was just at a fancy event. The man asks my father," What are you doing out here in the rain?"
"Fishing."
"Oh. Cool." And proceeds to CATCH A FISH. IN THE RAIN. (Then stomp on it to kill it but that doesn't matter because plot holes, fish is alive again). Mind you this is a parking lot there's no actual source of water just a bit of flood. This man appears andsuddenly a fish does and he just "hm, catchin fish in the rain" like it's nothing! We were gobsmacked, appalled, absolutely flabbergasted by this man (who we didn't even know in the dream.)
So now suddenly we have a group of five adults and five children and the adults decide "Hey wanna go danger driving?" "Yeah sure."
Apparently the music dictates the danger survivability. So no one dies until the second part of the dream.
The second part of the dream begins where the first left off. Danger driving (which I can only describe as driving in a partially destroyed car against other partially destroyed cars but where they have a slope so they crash into you and you try to dodge them). They all survive, of course, and decide to go to a park for the kids (which there are now like fourteen of).
One guy (the guy whose face I can't remember though it could've been Samuel L. Jackson) stays behind to take a smoke while the rest of us enter the sloped tunnel entrance.
Then, a glimpse. A mechanical head with ugly scars and crazy white hair sits in front of a computer watching us. Or more specifically, Bill Nye the Science Guy. The culprit turns around reveals himself to be...ALBERT EINSTEIN! (Whom looks more like the robot president from Inside Job).
The man was but a mere face mask for Bill Nye the science guy to wear when he had a horrible accident and had to go vegan because he couldn't eat meat anymore. Then when he recovered he built him a robotic head as an A.I. for Bill Nye the Science Guy. But he no longer wants to be that, a mere robotic head. He wants more!
So what does he do? He decides to build himself a robotic body and kill his creator and his friends. He merges with the body and picks up an axe (that looks a lot like stormbreaker) and goes hunting.
The first to die is the man who was left out smoking, head axed clean off!
Then we head back to my POV. Where I am holding my baby sister while climbing down the slippery slope. Luckily there are pools on the side for me to use as leverage and balance while my dad RUSHES ME AS IF I'M PURPOSELY GOING AT THE RATE OF A SNAIL.
I eventually get to the park. My cousins and sisters already there, the adults watching (not really) while talking amongst themselves.
When Bill Nye the Science Guy decides to go out for a bit. He lights a cigar (which he would never do in my heart) and never smokes it. Man just holds it in his fingers and observes the world.
Then his head is hacked off. Clean, one strike like the other. Albert Einstein (yes we're still calling him that) readily picks up Bill Nye the Science Guy's head and shoves it in a jar. He proceeds on with an intent to kill everyone.
POv back to me, we're all having fun till my uncle (actual uncle)'s head do flying off. Thor and Lady Thor try to fight him while everyone else runs away. The kids hide in the rooftops and the adults scatter.
Albert Einstein fights them off and hides only to find us and proceeds to try to kill us only for him to find I HAVE SUPERPOWERS! Specifically electricity.
So I fight the dude off and try to negotiate him because I gotta protect my cousin's and sisters. That succeeds because he realizes he can't defeat me since he's a robot and so I go to tattletale on the adults but that plan completely fails because "mom needs to be alive to watch after us" and the thors kinda ran away as in Thor got badly injured so now they have to go.
Anyway Albert Einstein doesn't like that so he tries to kill the kids again and I stop him but now there's no negotiating so I tell em "hey, you guys gotta go." And I hold him off there.
That's it, that's the dream. I dunno if I succeed if the adults are all gone, if the kids survive, or if I hold him there forever. Quite a dream wasn't it?
Luckily I went back to sleep (cause it was eight A.M.) and had another dream that was pretty cool and weird but not as weird as this one.

My review of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man.
My Top Independence Day Movies (Independence Day not included)
Yes, you read that right. I am not including the seminal Will Smith action flick Independence Day in my list of most patriotic movies. Do I always enjoy a viewing of it? Sure, but it doesn't exactly need my endorsement. Let's take a look at some lesser known, equally good films that would perfectly accent your July 4th and why you should choose them over the Patriot or Top Gun or Die Hard (which is a Christmas movie anyway).
1) Waiting for Guffman (1997) – A mockumentary style film from Christopher Guest and Co. (This is Spinal Tap; Best in Show; A Mighty Wind). It follows a group of small-town-American characters as they prepare for the fictional Blaine, Missouri’s sesquicentennial celebration, the centerpiece of which is a musical covering the town’s history called “Red, White, & Blaine.” It is a hilarious portrait of the American spirit captured in all the bizarre, oddities of the classic Small Town. You’ll find yourself quoting your favorite moments for years to come.
2) Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999) –Another mockumentary that chronicles small-town American life, this time in Mt. Rose. Minnesota. We follow the various contestants in the Mt. Rose Miss American Teen Princess beauty pageant, and the contestants range from the dopey cheerleader (Amy Adams in her film debut) to the theater geek (Brittany Murphy at her absolute best) to sweet underdog protagonist who practices her tap dancing while working in the morgue (Kirsten Dunst). This movie moves seamlessly from the sublime to the ridiculous, satirizing not only beauty pageants but the politics of the Midwest small-town. Another one with quotable moments every other minute.
3) Wet Hot American Summer (2001) – Everyone in this movie is someone who has made you laugh till your stomach hurts in something (or everything) else they have done in their careers. Pulling heavily from members of the sketch comedy group The State, it has everyone from David Hyde Pierce to Amy Poehler to Molly Shannon to Paul Rudd to Ken Marino to an infantile Bradley Cooper (AND MANY, MANY MORE!). Directed by David Wain (Role Models; Wanderlust), we see the goings on of the last day at Camp Firewood and mainly the romantic endeavors of the counselors and camp directors. It is weird and offbeat and joyous and dark and a beautiful picture of the kind of summer we all wish we could have again (kind of – give or take a few things like refrigerator humping). Oh yeah, did I mention beloved Detective Stabler, Christopher Meloni, humps a refrigerator?
4) Captain America : the First Avenger (2011) – BECAUSE – DUH. It would not be a proper list of All-American movies if I neglected to include All-American superhero Captain America portrayed by All-American beef cake Chris Evans. It takes place during World War II the most nostalgically “good-guys” period of American history, there is a song entitled “The Star Spangled Man with a Plan” and Steve Rodgers is…hoo…he is, uhh…the kind of man with the kind of courage, heart, head of hair, and muscles I think we all wish we could be (myself included). It’s got a good little story and a good bit of action and just a little splash of romance to make a great 4th of July flick. And also, look, yeah, if maybe you double featured this with Marvel's the Avengers I’m not going to do anything to stop you that sounds great.
