I didn't hate the movie, Piddy. But to hail it as some masterpiece doesn't seem right to me. There were funny parts. There were gory parts. There was some brilliant acting done by Christoph Waltz. There was also a lot of dialogue that seemed to go nowhere, even for QT. I can honestly say I wasn't bored at all during the movie, but there were more than a few spots where I was like 'do something other than talk'. And for a movie about a squad of Nazi killing soldiers, they sure didn't get a lot of screen time.

I recently finished watching all three seasons of Superman: The Animated Series from a few years back. Overall it was quite good. There's a few throwaway episodes in the mix, but not a bad series. Any episode with Darkseid kicked ass.

Inglurious Basterds. Your typical QT flick. Ten minutes of awesome bloodthirsty action and two and a half hours of tripe dialouge.

This may come as a shock, but Nick and me already bought WaW. Mine is still in the mail, though. That's just plain crazy talk. Whatever happened to Jags?

I haven't played Call Of Duty:WAW for a few days now. I must be sick or something.

What you did today
After waiting a week and change for some part to come in for my passenger window, I finally managed to get the damn vehicle into the shop today. I go to work, punch in, secure a ride back from a coworker, and am back on the job in twenty minutes. Two hours later I see the dealership left me a voicemail. Sweet, I'm thinking to myself, I'm back in action. Instead, I get a weird message to phone them as soon as I can. I do so, only to find out they broke the window. My fiancee picked me up after work tonight, and my mom ( man, that sounds even more lame when I type it out) is working in the morning and can shuttle me to work. Not having a car = suckage. Having a car and not being able to drive it is worse. It's like your independence goes right out the window. There's no pun intended there, I think. On the plus side, it's all covered under warranty. If it's not done tomorrow I'm going to try and snake a dealership vehicle for sunday. It's the least they can do for ****ing up this job royally.

I hope you have a better day tomorrow, Calax. I went for supper at my bosses' house tonight. Some tequila was drank, some non tobacco cigarettes were smoked. Works going to come around early tomorrow morning.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a novelization of the movie based on the comic, but I could be wrong. So is the extended version only available for Blu-Ray? I've yet to see the two disc regular dvd anywhere, although I haven't really looked.

District 9. It was good, and pretty entertaining, but I kept feeling like there was something missing from this show.

What, no mention of Patrick Kane and his recent mishap? I'll wait for some facts to be revealed before I make any judgement.

Whoops, the first test I took was about the same as yours, El Numbero, but the second had a little better results.

Very sad news, indeed. He basically owned the teen comedy genre in the 80's.

The motor on the drivers side doesn't sound too good. It hops up a fair bit slower than the rest. And my truck is a 2007 model. Serves me right for buying a dodge.

Yar, good idea gifted! I'll go do that now. edit: after some fiddling, I managed to get the window up. Weird thing is that the fuse isn't blown. I assume it's like a lightbulb? As in if the connection isn't broken between the two parts, it's still good, right? I'm slightly retarded when it comes to mechanical/electrical ****.

I had to go make an appointment for my truck today. Last week the passenger side window crapped out, and now the drivers side window is stuck down, and won't go up. I should be downstairs taking all my valuables out, but instead I'm on the computer, typing....

I think that I read somewhere that Martha Jones is coming to fill Owen's place on the show. Is she on Doctor Who?

I finished the rest of season 2 and the Children Of Men series for Torchwood. The latter was quite impressive, as it seemed to forget about being campy and just told a nice, depressing story. RIP,

I caught the first few episodes, but couldn't really get into it. Oddly enough, I'm watching a show that's even less impressive: Torchwood. Think the X-Files meets Angel, with a bit of homosexuality thrown in. I'm a quarter of the way through season two, and while it's watchable, it's not anything that you haven't seen already. I loved Torchwood, the series 2 finale is pretty shocking, and the recent Children of Earth miniseries is pretty ballsy. I have to admit that the second half of season two is picking up quite nicely. death and rebirth made for some pretty interesting teevee. There's a fair bit of camp, and the women are a bit dodgy (is it just me or is Gwen totally unattractive?), but it hasn't been horrible. It's just that it seems like the whole premise of the show is based on bits from other shows.

And the Cubs squeak into first place in their division today. I must remember this moment, in case doesn't last.

Let's see, today was the first Friday in ten or so odd years (barring holidays and whatnot) that I didn't have to make a mortgage payment. It's quite nice. And I started holidays less than two hours ago. I'm not going anywhere, I'm just gonna be lazy, maybe have some non-tobacco cigarettes and play video games. That's not till Thursday, though, the missus is leaving town for a week then. Does Nihilus remind anyone else of Chris the Jedi Killer?
