“I wish I was more exci­ted about this one. I really do. I’m glad other peo­ple are all jaz­zed up. The script left me cold except for a few action beats. It’s basi­cally the “white guy from the outside tos­sed in with peo­ple of a noble but misun­ders­tood cul­ture who learns from them, and who teaches them a few things, too” para­digm, with nothing par­ti­cu­larly new added. War­ner Bros. has a thing about telling his­to­ri­cal films. I was told by an exe­cu­tive there one time that “good his­tory is the his­tory with white faces on it… faces we recog­nize. Bad his­tory is everything else.” That pretty much sums up my pro­blems with this one so far. Maybe Zwick will pull it out and make something breath­ta­king. Maybe Cruise will ele­vate it through sheer force of will. Maybe it will be great.
We’ll see.”

This sums up my fee­lings towards this. But can’t judge until viewed.

Another day in the life of moi. Woke up at 12. Tra­ve­led to the mall, loo­ked around some shops for fur­ni­ture that could be mod­ded into a spe­ci­fic sto­rage cabi­net; found nothing. Payed a visit to Comet and their array of super­doo­per three grand plasma screens that dis­tort digi­tal TV until it looks like ana­lo­gue. Per­fect. Brow­sed the cheap hifi sec­tions, saw the rou­ter I was told they didn’t sell seve­ral months back and left. Hea­ded into PC World, chec­ked the pri­ces of some HDD-dee-dees, too expen­sive. Chec­ked DVD-RW pri­ces, too expen­sive. Left. Got a sand­wich and went home empty han­ded. So a pro­duc­tive day.

Currently pim­ping Takashi Miike-ness in the form of DOA2. r0ck on.

Watched Visi­tor Q last night, offi­cially one of the weir­dest movies I have ever seen, pos­sibly THE weir­dest when exc­lu­ding uzu­maki. “Have you ever been hit on the head?“
I didn’t really enjoy it as much as his other movies, oh well. I need GOZU. GOZU> GOZU< (uncut). That and the newly relea­sed Chuck Palah­niuk docu­men­tary thingy­ma­job I just read about on ain​tit​cool​news​.com. Shweet.

kthxbye.

I felt this was rele­vant, with me seeing the Freddy vs Jason movie and all.
