Some rambles about "The Alamo"

ok- so like everyone knows, all the history clases are watching "The Alamo". I know at least two people who finished it and want to tell me the ending. But guess what? on account of a shortened schedule last b day, i didn't get to finish it. lets ask the obvious question here. Am i mad? Yes! so i am reduced to waiting all through the week long spring vacation, plus two more days, to see the end of it. So this morning, during one of my computer sessions where i was facing the screen with a blank look on my face doing absolutely nothing, i figured, why not you tube it and watch it ahead of everyone else, eh? so i did. but they didnt even have the full movie, just bits and parts random losers had posted just to say lamely, "this was my favorite part!" so i gave up. Then i was even more bored, and having brooded on where we left off on it and the hints my friends had given me about the ending, i thought id try to watch it again. So i actually found what (Looked like) the whole thing. But it wasn't. youre not going to believe what i had to put up with to watch it.
1: my brother playing this absurd destroy-and-conquer game too loudly on the ps3 in the background.
2: EXTREMELY lousy graphics that made it so if i tried to make it full screen, all i got were a few tan colored pixels as peoples heads. Not high def.
3: there were chinese characters- CHINESE, of all things, scrolling across the top of the screen and making a huge nuiscance of themselves, then chnese and english on top of it, subtitleing it. lets examine the idiocity of that for a moment. You tube is american. Alamo is an american movie, made right here in hollywood. Alamo is about a part of american history. I can see why thered be spanish subtitling it, cus everybody and thier uncle speaks it, but WHY DO THE BLOODY CHINESE WANT TO WATCH A MOVIE ABOUT SOMEONE ELSES BLOODY HISTORY?????? that is my great complaint, now off my back, sounding like jeremy off of top gear in the meantime. (Shelsey, i think youre the only one who will get that.) this post is already looking ridiculously long winded- oh well. so, i watch it, and get right up to the part where they kill crockett (pretty sad by the way), and im only partway hearing it because of the war cries and mideval fights going on in the background courtesy my brothers game, but what do you know? as soon as we get to the part where that guy played by dennis quaid is gonna fight santa anna, it stops! the zarking (heres something only ally and savannah will get, if they even read this) imbecile didnt even post the rest! UGHGHGHGH, i am so mad! all i wanted to do was rub it in everyone else in my class when i knew the ending and they didnt and look what it got me- a boat load of headache and dissatisfaction. If i was stupid enough to think hed care, id write a very mean comment on that guys youtube page. But i bet you he was chinese and wouldnt be able to read it anyways.
