To begin with, I recieved my copy of 300 in the mail this week. I have mentioned before what a wonderful movie this is; it is currently number one on my all-time best movies ever list. Frank Miller makes great movies, and I’m looking forward to the impending release of Sin City 2. I also …

Skinwalkers
I went to watch the movie Skinwalkers yesterday. I probably should have saved my money. It started out promisingly and had some very good special effects. In the end, however, it was just another Hollywood moral-equivalency tale.Man, I can’t wait for my copy of 300 to get here!
I ordered the second season of The Muppet Show on DVD today–I can only hope it’s as good as the first one! I also ordered a copy of the first season of The Dresden Files. I remain cautiously optimistic, but I’ve looked on IMDB, and it looks like they’ve changed quite a bit from the …
300
I have seen the movie 300.It was brilliant! Visually stunning, incredibly choreographed… This comic-book retelling of the stand of the Spartans at Thermopylae is absolutely fantastic. It is a brilliant story of men standing up for freedom in the face of tyrant hordes–and being Persian hordes, it is particularly timely. It is definitely not film …

Hello, everyone! I was speaking with one of my friends at work the other day about resources on the internet regarding self-initiation; he said he’d considered it, but it always sounded too erotic to him. I said that if he found the word “self” too erotic, he’d been single longer than I had… A hip-hop …

Weeeelllll, howdy, everybody! I’ve been a bit busy since the last time I wrote, although things are so quiet currently that I spent the weekend cleaning my apartment. Not a quick run-around with the vacuum, but a serious spring-cleaning-meets-Marine-Corps-field-day type ordeal. I’m still not actually done–although I now own several fewer useless and trivial items. …

Well, I’m sorry that I’ve been away for a while, but it’s been a busy time. I did *very well* in my interview for the GS-5 Security Guard job on Friday, and I’m expecting to hear good news tomorrow. I’m also expecting MBS to give me grief about my 401(k) loan, but I’m quite certain …

Work:Not much to offer from work; I’m actually working mostly in another department. I did almost have a date this weekend with a lovely young second-year chemistry senior named Amanda (I love that name!), but she was busy due to Daddy’s Day. Perhaps next weekend–she’s expressed an interest in Tokyo Drift. I have had a …
Cinematic Horror
Hmmm… I suppose that I should begin with Silent Hill. Apparently, a lot of movie-goers aren’t enjoying it, or even really understanding it. This would be the same crowd that didn’t get The Cell. It’s really fairly deep and engaging for a video-game movie–although a bit gory toward the end. Possibly the lack of happy …

Okay, the verdict is in: either movie would be a decent video rental, but I would advise you not to waste your money at the cinema. In other words, CRAP! and CRAP!. Warning: if you intend, despite my advice, to watch these movies on the big screen, read no further: movie spoilers ahead.—–Let us begin …
