not a lot

of anything new/different has gone on lately…so I’ll give you a quick run down of the last few movies I’ve watched:

Juno…pretty good, actually. Quite a bit of the witty dialogue.

Resident Evil 3: Extinction…man, I wish that title signalled the end of the series, but it doesn’t. Zombies? Check. Clones? Check. Psychic Powers? Check. Honestly, psychic powers? Doesn’t get much more asinine folks.

Dragonlance: This was painful to watch, and I only rented it. Think back to early 80s TV, with the cheap animation, now couple that style with early 90’s 3D draconians. Now take out all the good parts of the book, add a dash of Keifer Sutherland as Raistlin’s voice, and you can guess what you’ve got: a steaming pile that should be flushed down the toilet.

I am Legend: The book was perhaps, just a quick figure off the top of my head, 5 billion times better. Don’t get me wrong, this was an ok flick, just the book was better…by a lot.

In the Name of the King: Disappointing. I say that because the movie was actually so-so, and mostly watchable. I was expecting Dungeons and Dragons bad, but it never reached that level of abyssmal characterization, plotting, and inanity. It came close a couple of times (hey we’re going to swing you onto the cliff, so you can get in the castle…really? swing? you’re a mage with all the powers of magic, and you’re making this guy swing…with rope? Jerrrrrrk alleeerrrrrrrt)

I think that does it for now. I may have a more substantive post tomorrow. I may be moving into a house with a few other guys in the near future if all goes according to plan, but we’ll see. We need to sit down and hammer out the details before anything happens. I still plan on ruling the world, and now instead of saying the usual farewell on the phone, you may be lucky enough to hear me instead say “death to our enemies!”

Don’t count on it though…unless you’re special.
