Venom Looks Good But Doesn't Feel Good

Mixed feelings for Sony's new Venom

So I couldn't help myself. I have been telling myself not to watch anything new for the new Venom movie, but, of course, I cave in and watch the latest trailer anyways. For those who don't really know what this is about, allow me to help. Venom is a movie about a journalist, Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy), who tries to uncover the truth behind Life Foundation but comes into contact with an alien life form called a symbiote. This ultimately grants him amazing powers as long as he shares his body with the symbiote.

Not that a trailer could really give away much about an entire movie *cough cough* this new Venom trailer gives me a little more hope for it. Personally, I never was really convinced from the first few trailers that this movie will be great. Yeah…I think the way Venom looks is freaking amazing and leagues better than what we saw in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3. It truly baffles me how they let that series go from amazing in "Spider-Man 2" too embarrassing in "Spider-Man 3", but that's for another time. I think I should note that my opinions on this Venom are purely from a movie standpoint, and my knowledge of Venom, as a character, is limited to what he did with Spider-Man. But even if that were the case, I don't know if Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) is supposed to sound the way he does in this movie. I love Tom Hardy as an actor, but I don't know about this one. But honestly, it's just that his portrayal of Eddie Brock isn't matching up to what I have always imagined Eddie Brock to be like. The weird part is that I think he fits the looks of Eddie Brock very well. It's just the way he speaks that just seems to bother me, but, again, I'm only limited to what the trailer has shown. Maybe the movie will convince me otherwise. At the very least, Venom sounds great. You can tell a majority of the focus went into perfecting Venom, and they do an excellent job with it from what I can see, and he is definitely the biggest component that I can't wait to see. Hope this one does well!

Venom release everywhere October 5, 2018. It's directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, 30 Minutes or Less, Gangster Squad) and stars Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises, The Peaky Blinders, Mad Max), Michelle Williams (The Greatest Showman, Blue Valentine, Shutter Island) Woody Harrelson (Natural Born Killers, White Men Can't Jump, True Detective), and Riz Ahmed (Nightcrawler, Jason Bourne, The Night Of).

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
