I could post about all the new things I want to do this year, but eh, that just isn’t my style I guess. I mean I have a shit-ton of things I want to do, but instead of disappointing myself at the end of 2010 by counting all that which I failed to do, I’ll just surprise myself with all the things I managed to finish.
In the meantime, enjoy this funny local prank video, because it’s awesome.
Wishing you all nothing but happiness, contentment and a bit of discontent to reach for new goals, these next 300-something days. Happy new year!
I’ve already seen animated GIFs of several frames of pictures put together, and I’ve already seen pictures of light art. But I haven’t really seen those two things combined yet.
Looks like a good 5-6 hours of shooting, shooting and shooting.
In a case of wanting to see both movies before they’re gone from the cinemas, Ice and I decided to watch both of them yesterday, one after the other. A real movie marathon, with popcorn, surround sound and theater seats. The works.
It was one of those days where I really got the most value out of my money.
The movie screams Quentin Tarantino. From the quirky music to the comedic handling of blood and gore, it’s like a mashup of his previous movies Pulp Fiction and Grindhouse, but now in a setting of Nazi-occupied France. It’s funny, irreverent and violent. Very, very much so.
Despite it being a victim of over hype, I still believe Avatar is one of the better movies this year, if only for the envelope-pushing it does on the front of CGI. Characters moved very fluidly, even when the action was quick and frantic. At some points in the movie I even thought I was watching animatronics instead of computer graphics.
Plot-wise it could have been better, since the story was a bit cliché and the characters were too one-dimensional for their own good (including, as my friends call him, Col. Badass), but geniunely, there were times when I was moved by what I saw on screen. Probably a sense of guilt for being a human.
And now onto the coming attractions. Robert Downey Jr. has been busy these past two years, fighting alcoholism and people forgetting about him, and clawing his way back into the spotlight.
Two words: Rachel McAdams. Even if some of the stuff seems out of place – RDJ’s accent, the casting of Jude Law as Watson and not as Sherlock Holmes himself – I’ll be watching it. Because of Rachel McAdams.
And finally, we have one of the most awaited sequels in a while, because the first one was successful in whetting people’s appetites. Iron Man 2’strailer shows the usual guns-blazing, high-flying, arrogant-but-likeable Tony Stark alongside his new partner, War Machine.
Have you heard the news? He’s back from the past, traveling through time to regain his cowl. It also looks like he’s going to have slight costume changes.
Like a friend of mine said, a regular Davy Jones.
There’s also Caveman Batman, who looks like he gutted Man-Bat and wore his skin as a cape.
…in more ways than one. And I want them. The San Antonio Spur’s TS Commander LTs look really good with that whole skeletal thing going on.
I admit, I have a thing for black and white shoe colorways, but the way the details are laid out – the bone structure graphic on the upper, a translucent sole revealing another skeleton graphic – and the way the whole package just comes together, it’s sick. And this is coming from a guy who’s no big fan of adidas basketball shoe design.
I wonder when/if they’re going to be released in the Philippines.
Boasting 440+ hours of work, LegoMatrix proudly presents the scene that made The Matrix what it was (well, aside from the one where Trinity jumps in the air and kicks the shit out of a guard early in the movie).
It’s short, but definitely sweet. In the asskicking kind of way.
