The action sequences were cool and the fight with the Golden Army looked pretty wicked. All in all though, those things just didn’t make up for the lack of crank turn-age in other places.

So, I’d say watch it, on the bigscreen if you’re in the mood for a comic book movie, and have already seen Batman and Iron Man, else wait for the rental.

Wall-E was fantastic. It’s a really well done flick with an interesting story. The animation looks good and nothing was over the top.

If you like animated flicks go check out Wall-E.

With that, it was well worth it. This move is very well done. The joker is fantastic, two-face looks really cool and batman, well, batman is batman. The action scenes look cool, the story is solid and the acting is great.

I also really liked the fact that in a few places I said to myself, ok, they’re going to wrap this up to give themselves sequel material, the movie then continued on and they closed off those threads.

Not to say there isn’t sequel material, just the movie went above and beyond what I was expecting.

Go watch it. Yes, you. Go watch it.

Anyway, while her opinion will differ, and I think it’s biased by her views going in, this movie was really well done. The animation is fantastic and it didn’t feel over the top. The hulk has visible and understandable facial emotions which I thought was pretty cool.

I’d recommend this to anyone that wants to see a good action flick.

The one thing I wasn’t able to sort out, does this movie ignore the first one or continue on? Stacy thinks it’s a continuation, I think it’s a ignore the first and start again.

Either way, this movie felt like the hulk.

It’s also surprising as it’s really fucking good. I picked it on a lark but I was really, really impressed with this movie. Its got a good combination of buddy buddy film, comedy and seriousness to make it work.

I’d recommend this movie and you wouldn’t even have to be on a plane to watch it.

All in all, if you’re suck on a plane for a few hours and have seen the other movies you might watch this one. Or take a nap. Really, it’s a toss up.

If you’ve been hesitant to see a new movie in a while due to general suck-age I’d recommend this one. Especially if you like Jack Black.

Sca-doosh.

I must say, I liked this movie. It was really well done, the Narnians looked good (the centaurs looked a little strange when they run, but then, it is a horse with a humans body, heh.) The bad guy was close to pushing it but I don’t think he went too far. Kept it believable.

I’d recommend this movie to anyone that wants to see a good fantasy flick. Or, just a good flick in general.

Oh god, how wrong could I have been. This movie was pretty bad. There were, I think, two places in which I actually laughed. I believe both had to do with Neil Patrick Harris.

Maybe I’m no longer the target audience for this type of flick but it just didn’t do anything for me.

So, if you want to see a good movie. Don’t see this one. Maybe watch it if it’s on TV. Maybe.

If you like action flicks, or comic flicks, or movies in general, go see Iron Man. You won’t be disappointed.

Oh boy, were we disappointed. This movie tries too hard. It’s out to shock in places which just don’t fit. It can’t figure out which character you should have sympathy for. The writing is bad, which means I couldn’t tell if the acting was bad or if it was just the writing?

All in all. Skip this movie. Well, unless you want to see Jason Segal’s wang.

The dialog was pretty cheesy in places, the plot stupid (Only this one person can solve the problem and they can do it in 30 seconds while the rest of the world has been working on it for days….).

But, hey, giant robots with guns…

It manages to hit just the right combination of over the top action and funny one liners to make this movie work. It was well worth the 11$ it cost to get into the theater. I must say, Bruce Willis has still got it as John McClane and Justin Long does a fantasic job as the sidekick.

I’ve gotta say, their truck made me think of the Blackbox all it needed was a Sun logo painted on the side.

I’ve had enough of this kung-fu shit.

It pissed rain all day but the moving guys just parked their truck right outside so everything was dry by the time it was moved into the new place. I bought them coffee and donuts since they had to work through the rain all day. Not that I didn’t get soaked walking down to Hortons, but that’s beside the point.

After getting everything moved in on Thursday night we wandered over to the Sheppard Grande and watched The Fountain. I’m not quite sure if this was a good or bad movie. It was a bit strange to follow, but that could also be because I was exhaused. I also didn’t expect to come out of one of Darren Aronofsky’s movies and have a good understanding of what it was about. I think I liked it. I have no idea if anyone else would tho.

We’ve been ripping through the boxes and containers at the new place over the last few days. All the boxes and bins are now empty and you can actually walk across the condo without having to step over anything. Makes a big difference to get the books on the shelves and setting up some new shelving for the office closet.

We’re still trying to work out just what to do with the TV in the living room. We tried to mount it on the wall but the places the stud finder said a stud was located didn’t have anything behind it. It’s currently just sitting on what used to be the bar.

The kitchen is working out great. There is a lot more cupboard space in the condo, and we added some extra shelving to act as a pantry where we can hide all of the caned goods.

We had the condo people come in and fix the washing machine and the master bathtub on Friday. Which, in the end, was a bit of an adventure. When he was fixing the bathtub a piece shot out of it and water sprayed everywhere. There was about ten minutes where water just gushed out of the tap. Had to hold a shirt over it to direct the flow into the tub (instead of all over the floor) so the guy fixing it could run to get the tool to turn off the water. Floor was nicely soaked but I think we’ve got the carpet dried out.

In a fit of consumerism glory Stacy and I picked up a copy of Lego Starwars, Oblivion and a second Xbox 360 controller. Oblivion is fun, there are a couple UI things that bug me but I’ll be putting some time into this one as well. Starwas is really, really well done. Both Stacy and I are loving it. They’ve done a fantastic job getting everything to fit together. Hopefully both games hold up to the test of time.

That’s it for now.

Lets see, where to begin. Stacy and I bought a condo the other weekend. We’ll finalize everything on the 23rd of November. (That’s when we get possession.) This should give us about a week to do any painting before we move on the 30th. We’re still in the process of getting movers, neither one of us wants to have to move all our crap ourselves. It’s going to be a hectic few weeks getting everything packed and arranged.

Hm, I guess next up is work. I’d been offered a job at another company, which I subsequently turned down. Was a bit of a shit storm at work. Everything is good now. I’ve moved more to focus on migration tools which is what I want to do. A lot of my other projects, as much as possible, have been transitioned off to other people. It’s nice to drop the baggage every now and then. So that’s good. Work’s actually at the point where I sit down, start working and, what feels like 30 seconds later, it’s time to go home.

I’ve finally taken my Amsterdam pictures off my camera. (You’re seeing one of theme in the post icon.) They turned out pretty well. A bunch are blurry. I really, really, need a camera with auto-stabilization, or something. All in all, I like em. As usual, if I ever get a gallery setup…

Movies, movies, I think I’ve seen two since I last posted. Borat and Flags of our Fathers. Both were really good movies. I wasn’t expecting much from Borat, I haven’t seen the show it’s based on but, I laughed, then I quoted a bit. The guys I went with all grew Borat style mustaches. I think the best part of the evening is when the bar tender (we went for drinks afterwards) asked one of the guys ‘Are you in a mustache club?’.

Lets see, thats the condo, the job, movies. Ah, right. Been poking at EWL again, as usual. Did a bunch of work on the Ewl_Text widget to hopefully make it faster. Ended up simplifying the code in a few places which is nice. Should also make it easier for RbdPngn to integrate his skiplist work once it’s complete.

I picked up Ratchet: Deadlocked about a year ago. Didn’t really play it then (according to the save file, 1.5hrs). Popped it in the other day and have been pleasantly surprised. It’s quite fun to run around and blow shit up with ridiculously sized weapons. 11 days to the Wii.

That’s it for now, I’ve got to get some sleep. I’ll try to post more regular like in the future. I swear.
