A quickie...

Seriously...

I've got to work in the morning, and I just wanted to drop by and say just a few things... mostly about movies...


28 Weeks Later...

While some people disagree with me, I have to say that, and it's hard with a contender like Dawn of the Dead (the original), 28 Days Later is the best zombie movie of all time. The fact that the dead are so ferocious, and just move as though truly motivated all the time, really is what drives it for me. Add in the fact that's it is shot and directed really well, you've got a winner.

28 Weeks Later? Not a winner. I will post more about this later, but the summary is simple. It pales in comparison. Apart from the great cinematography (except when they are shaking the camera's as violently as possible... which is most of the time), it has practically no redeeming qualities what-so-ever. The story makes little sense, the plot doesn't so much drive as it meanders to an unseen destination, and in the end, the entire thing had pretty much no point at all.

I will post a blow by blow review soon (yes, just like several other movies I've been slow to review), but, I just wanted to give you my general impressions.


Fantastic Four: 2

NO!

(I may bring myself to explain this further, but for now, you will have to accept that this is stupid!)


Die Harder Again Part Deux and a Heif!

Seriously, as much as I want to say, "It's over, give it up!" I just can't. I will be seeing this in the theater. The trailer I was treated to this night definitely left me with a urge, an itch that won't be scratched until I'm enjoying Bruce Willis jumping off of super sonic jets and narrowly escaping a crushy demise by two perfectly placed cars that speed into frame from out of nowhere.

I'm O.K. with revisiting "Yipee Ki Yay Mutha Fucker!" But if he tells me he sees dead people, I might have to walk out.


VMWare

Still the greatest thing that ever happened, ever. I am just blown away by version 6. I've been meaning to review it fully, just haven't had the opportunity, but I will do so soon. With those few programs that don't work under Vista, it's nice to have XP right there by my side. Sometimes I just don't want to re-boot. I appreciate Microsoft's (free) Virtual PC, but when I discovered I could have full access to my USB devices in VMWare, I was sold.


That's it for now...

I have a lot more to say about a lot of things you probably don't care about, but at the moment, I'm just too tired. I'm recovering from my injuries. I discovered all the bruising up my side and pulled muscles everywhere... so, it's been unfun. I will probably post some of the healing pictures soon. Might make a good add for Neosporin. There's still bits of sand and gravel coming out with every bandage change, and theres one gash, the part that was down to the muscle, that refuses to close up, and is still bleeding a bit.

Also, I feel compelled to soon speak cryptically of my relationship woes with the evil wimmens... but that's a subject for a later date.

Mike and I started working on a new script (yes, I know, finish Ink, right?), but it's very promising. Mike came up with the idea from my whining rant a few days ago, from there we sat down and brainstormed and after about 2 and 1/2 hours we had a solid outline. Script work has started, and we're on the way. We're eager to see how this works when we're both working actively on a script idea. Another subject best left 'til later.

That's it for now.


Well, one game, maybe.

I realized that I somehow forgot to mention this game. It's wicked fast paced and a ton of fun. It's called Luminara, and it's a flash clone of Geometry Wars (more or less). Try it out.
