Brave was pretty mediocre.  That's funny you don't like Loki, I find that attractive for some reason.  I can't stand all the squeeing fan girls that guy has.

Squeeing?  No shit?  Loki looked like death warmed over.  It was like Draco Malfoy, Stewie Griffin, and Wormtongue had an oily baby together.  His posturing was right outta some kid's fanfic.  "An ant has no a quarrel with a boot"?  Well, no, but the goddamn boot doesn't stop and chat with the ant either, you dumbass.  He would've been more productive if they had slapped a worn Everlast logo on him and let Cap punch the shit outta him.

Squeeing like nobody's business, on tumblr (God I hate the culture of that site). Also, in real life I had to be around some of these squeelings.  They are almost as a rule fat and wear glasses.

Hmm, there's no option for theater.
The Intergalactic Nemesis...
...is a stage show that's a mix of a live or voice acted graphic novel, and a radio show. So they take this graphic novel, project the panels on a screen filling the entire rear of the stage (minus speech bubbles), have voice actors on stage voice the characters, a Foley artist (a sound effects artist, creating sound effects with everyday objects), and background music provided by a piano and synthesizer. So the play SOUNDS like an old radio show, but has the visual effect of the graphic novel panels.

I did enjoy the play. I found the thing did drag on a bit at around 2 hours long (with an intermission). Plus, the play really milked the 1930s space drama tropes to the max, with stereotypical characters and way too many over-the-top sudden twists (with the accompanying dramatic music)... stuff like "I'm not really a janitor, I'm a robot from the FUTURE! *cue dramatic music*". I know they did it on purpose though to get that authentic 1930s feel. I'll give the play props for having a strong female lead, something you'd never see in the 30s. Plus, there were parts where, because of character's accents, or characters talking too fast, or multiple characters talking, I'd have no idea what was just said.

The most interesting part was the sound effects being made in real time. Sound effects in Hollywood are made by a Foley artist who uses ordinary objects to make the sounds you hear in a movie, but in this case the sounds were actually being made by the objects on the stage, rather than being pre-recorded. It was fun to watch the various objects employed.

One of the things I wondered was whether the graphic novel was really a 30s comic or created specially for the show, but it appears to be a comic created specifically for the stage show. They're in the process of creating two other shows, and I'd love to see those as well. I rather enjoyed the show, even if it was a bit too long.
The first 15 minutes of the play
The cast on Conan


Iron Giant
I had only seen bits and pieces of this, and all I knew it was about a boy and his giant robot. Then I sat down and watched it. I didn't realize it got all action packed and war of the worlds at the end. Both action and feels from the same movie? A giant robo going up against 1950's American military hardware? Better movie than I expected. But who the hell names their kid Hogarth?


I've also seen Superman, Star Trek, and Iron Man 3 and may put my thoughts on those into words later.
I like to go down to the playground and watch the kids run and jump and scream, because they don't know I'm only using blanks.

Modern anime is a stagnant cesspool of regurgitated ideas.

I saw My Babysitter's a Vampire.  Kinda cute, I guess.

I also watched some Bill Bellamy stand up thing.  That's kinda a movie, right?

OH SEXY GIRLFRIEND!!!
BONZAI!!!

Ah, 80s racism at it's best.

So I saw 16 candles at the outdoor public festival I've been going to for a while here. Forgot this thing had frontal nudity and swearing. Perfect family flick for a public outdoor theater.
Anyone else miss all the nudity the 80s had? they seem to not have any nudity in modern movies anymore.

And Long Duk Dong. A Chinese guy who's the comic relief. Too bad he was the most interesting character. And if his dong is like a duck's, then most ducks have penii that are longer than their bodies when uncoiled, so he'd have to wrap his Dong jr. around his body a few times.

As for the movie, it was okay. Sam came off as whining about every little stupid thing and it got annoying. And if this was supposed to be a relationship movie, then why did Sam and her crush not hook up or even MEET until the credits? Where the hell is the chemistry?

Expendables 2.  I'm pleasantly surprised by the Expendables movies.  Probably because they meet my expectations exactly and that's so damn rare.  They're both very solid and I saw no sequel decline here at all.  They're perfect popcorn movies.  You know the people making these films knew exactly what they were supposed to bring to the table and did it.  I admire their execution.  Rumor mill has Mel Gibson as the villain for Expendables 3.  Could be very, very cool if they do it right and don't try to make Mel too serious.  Glib, jokey Mel is the Mel we all want to see.  I know Sly tries to push for as many people as possible for these films, but if you get Mel you HAVE to cameo Danny Glover.  Blown up on a toilet at the beginning of the film.  DO EET.

I tried to get the day off a month and a half ago at work so I could go see it on Friday or Sat and all the slots were taken.  Boo.  I might see it next week.  I really want to see it though.

For the last few days Ive been watching the trilogy of the Matrix and its blowing my mind. Last time i watched The first Matrix I was a sophomore in the uni and high as fuck so I couldnt remember much and then I remember watching a little bit of the 2nd one but didnt really care for it. But now, HOLY SHIT THE MOVIES ARE FUCKING AMAZING. Especially the first one.
Of course I cant talk about the movie without talking about Keanu Reeves's exquisite ass in the 2nd one

Interesting fact about the matrix.  I don't know if any of you were familiar with that lady (that at the time I thought was a nut) who said they stole her script.  Turns out they did steal it and she sued and won.

I recently re-watched The Matrix (just got it on blu-ray). It still holds up rather well. But I'm not paying perfectly good money on the two train wrecks that followed it.
Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Yeah I think the ending was a little anti climatic. I wonder if they were planning to do a 4th one (since the Oracle said she thought they were going to see Neo again and stuff). Also, can you explain me why was the indian girl able to "make" a sunrise? i thought she was just a program with no special abilities

Nope: http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/matrix.asp
For the record, I do believe they stole the Matrix.  I just don't think they stole it from this person.  Either they stole it or they had lot of contributions or ghost writers who made the first one great, but then shut those same people out for the sequels resulting in the inferior mess that followed.

But I'm not paying perfectly good money on the two train wrecks that followed it.

That's why I got the DVD with all the Matrix stuff on it for 10 bucks at Target.  :)  I spend 10 bucks on a lot of things I don't need and I felt like seeing the sequels because I had watched the Matrix like 50 times in a row one week and wanted to change it up.

Well, I don't hate Keanu.  That's almost the same as a crush.  Right?  Right?


I saw Pacific Rim today and... somewhat spoiler below...



















































...I wish more of the pilots have gotten to use escape pods.  Especially the Aussie at the end.  Would've liked him to have bobbed up at the end of the movie and everyone else be all "wtf?" and his dad to cry tears of relief.  Just seemed like it should've happened.

I agree with that. That whole escape pod thing was kinda a WTF kinda thing because I didn't even know they had them.

Oh and I guess I should say I saw Pacific Rim. I can't say too much about it without spoiling it. What I can say is that I enjoyed it...but I did have some thoughts that mainly has to do with the two main character, but on the whole I enjoyed it it a lot. (I sat by myself at the very back of the theater and that was a good thing since I got into some of these fights and was even saying stuff like "Come on! Punch that bastard!" which is something I don't normally do at the movies.)

I do have one nitpick though. The opening credit says that Kaiju means "Giant Beast" in Japanese. It doesn't. It means "Strange Beast." aka Monster.

Maybe they'll fix it in the DVD/Blu-ray.  Thing is... minor spoilage here so some space even though I'll try not to be too blatant...



















They should've at least referenced the escape pods during the Hong Kong fight.  Something to the effect of not being able to use them due to the damage or even having the pilots attempt escape only to be monster-mashed.  Otherwise, yeah, it just seemed to come out of nowhere later.

Anyway, I'll make a Pacific Rim Spoiler Thread.  Feel free to post there.  I'd like to read your thoughts on it because most people I know sadly haven't seen it.

I was already thinking someone would escape from the robots...but I thought the whole head would eject because they made such a big deal about the head being a different part that attached. None of the mechs did that so I figured it had to play in some how...but nope.

Iron Sky and 30 Nights of Paranormal Activity with the Devil Inside the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

The former was FUCKING AWESOME and the latter was utter garbage (with a few funny bits).
