    Usual Suspects.

     

    really wish i could harness the power of a brainwashing-type mechanism to wipe my memory of that movie clean. i just want to watch it for the first time again.

     

    still good.

     

    i also purchased, and will be watching There Will Be Blood for the second (and definitely not the last) time when i can. Danny Day-Lewis just slays that film.

    Every Canucks fan I know has been a little too enthusiastic for my liking.

    ...the truth comes out.

     

    but yea, more than a few of my buddies got too obnoxious from that 6-0 dealio, so i'm not too bummed on the lose to Washington, aside from the fact...it's Washington. Fedorov looked good, tho.

     

    i still think Roberto is holding up relatively well since getting his shiny new title. perhaps not as well as i'd like, but hey...he's a trooper.

    The Dark Knight. It was good, a bit overrated though, i fail to see why this one is #1 at imdb.com.

     

    A solid 8/10.

    It's at #3.

    #303 is more like it, even thats generous

     

    I would just like to refer everyone to my post here http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showt...9860&st=308

     

    I was saying TDK was overrated when it was still unpopular to do so. :)

     

     

    And you are just as wrong back then as everyone else is now :)

    aye. can someone give me a real problem with the film? as in, a critique that doesn't involve "waaaaah batman was sad at at the end"?

     

    also, watched 21. pretty bad. i mean...Kevin, man, come on; the entire time, i just couldn't get into it, as was just so depressed for the man. plus, predictable romance plots, with weird progression

    ("no, this is just a business relationship" >>> "oh hey check out my suite it's cool let's screw")

    is a no-no in my book.

     

    but, i suppose, when all's said and done...it was worth a watch, and provided decent entertainment. just...never again.

    Modest Mouse ~ Karma's Payment

    nice.

     

    Modest Mouse - Trucker's Atlas

     

    i saw them live a while back, with the National and R.E.M., and that song definitely blew more than a few minds in the crowd.

    I've never been a fan of the Bond films,

    dude....what?

     

    i also saw Tropic Thunder recently. as said, it was very fun. i'm always hesitant when Ben Stiller is involved, but Downey Jr. was enough to intrigue me, and JB sealed the deal. the sountrack was sweet, the cursing and gore were in excess, and it had Nick Nolte. what's not to like?

    due to multiple engagements i could only go to the nearby bookstore as opposed to a full blown comic dungeon.

     

    meager selections; i only got Batman's Long Halloween and Dark Victory. still, i'll try to get some more when i have some time.

    sweetness. thanks dudes; dudettes.

     

    i'm going comic shop spelunking on the morrow, so i'll share my finds with you then.

     

    keep the suggestions rolling, if any more come to mind. because of recently-found monies, my leather wallet's so fat it's practically a cow again.

    hey people...

     

    so, aside from the first few Ultimate Spideys, i never really bought/read a comic; never felt the desire or had a reason. i was in Victoria visiting relatives recently, and as i wandered into a CD store with a pathetic repetoire, i noticed the comics shop next door. as a lark, i thought i'd enter. after browsing around, looking very unawares of the whole procedure, and eavesdropping on the banter of the clerks to their customers, i recalled having seen the Watchmen trailer a while back, and decided that since i had cash to burn, i may as well invest in the actual book before i saw the film.

     

    and, as you can expect with anyone who reads Watchmen for the first time, i was pretty goddamn blown away. i won't go super ballistic school girl on my adoration of the thing, but rest assured it's probably the best novel i've read in years.

     

    so! after reading, and gettin all stoked on the film, i realized that well, i want more effin comics. any. more by Moore (tee-hee), classics, new ones, just good graphics novels. and then i realized, oh hey, Obsidian, those guys know a thing or two about a good read, and voila.

     

    so yeah. does anyone have any suggestions for an aspiring mega-geek (i've already attained relative geekage within the realms of tv, cinema, and video games; this would simply confirm it) ?

    Clutch - 24 Earth Years

     

    I don't know, but I've been told I'm about twenty-four Earth years old.

    and come my next birthday it'll be a quarter century.

    I don't know, but I have heard a gnome from the old world say these words,

    "Take a look what the cat dragged in; a red woodpecker and two of my kin."

     

     

    Back in 1980, we played the AD&D.

    That game was harder than the Elfstones of Shanara.

    My character was baffling, a druid, wizard, halfling.

    On top of that he was master of psionic powers.

     

     

    Bring on the hordes, we have the sword

    that smote the Goblin of Gygaxnor.

    Pray that the sisters name us as victors

    of the twenty sided die.

    "Take a look what the cat dragged in; a dead woodpecker and two of my kin."

     

     

    Long ago in Middle Earth

    a man could measure all his worth

    by his blade and by his staff,

    and by the runes on his epitaph.

     

     

    Go mount your horse and ride up north

    to seek the Baron of the Frozen Berg.

    Ask for assistance in the resistance

    of the twenty sided die.

    Saw Mazes and Monsters, Tom Hanks completely bonkers.

    He spoke what he doth speaketh in Elizabethan.

    Sad lad, he really couldn't handle starting from scratch on the very first level

    But he died the death of a warrior.

     

     

    A legend grows yearly by way of a local song.

    The bishop and castle move in defense of pawns.

    I'm rolling, I'm tumbling a twenty sided die.

    A legend grows yearly by way of local song.
