Zombieland



It looks like the game LEFT4DEAD, done as a comedy. Looks funny, but can it top SHAUN OF THE DEAD?

E3 2009: The Last Guardian



The third and final game from the Ico trilogy. It's going to be the best game ever.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

NBA Finals Game 3:
What happened to Kobe after the awesome 1st half? 5 out of 10 from the charity stripe? Missed jumpers down the stretch? Turning the ball over trying to break the double team, then fumbling the pass from Gasol? At least help the man up, Kobe. He's your teammmate for Pau's sake.

Still, I did want Orlando to win this game because I want a competitive series. I didn't want no boring sweep. They can't shoot that well every game... can they?

Hurt Feelings



I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
I’m not gonna wear a ladies’ wetsuit, I’m a man!
I got hurt feelings, I got hurt feelings
Get me a small man’s wetsuit, please




random thoughts:
  • Why do joggers feel the need to acknowledge each other with a nod or a wave as they pass by? Is it like a mutual respect thing? "Yo, you like to run too? So awesome. [nod]" Yesterday, a man gave me a thumbs-up as he ran by me on Bastanchury. That's a little overboard, no?
  • Done with school until August. Work maybe one week every month. So much free time. Yet the days go by so damn fast. I get nothing done. When will you begin?
  • The wedding's less than 3 months away. Stressed? Hardly. Nervous? Not really. Cold feet? Not yet.
  • Lakers over Magic in 6. Dwight will have couple of monster games. Will Jameer coming back make a difference? Sure, but not enough. Lamar better show up.
  • This year's E3 is looking great so far. Metal Gear on the 360? Final Fantasy XIV (that's 14) is announced before XIII (that's 13) is even released? The next masterpiece from Fumito Ueda? Uncharted 2 looking amazing? Good stuff.
  • CHILDREN OF MEN is out on Blu-ray. Need it.
  • "He's not your fairytale." Ouch.

Movie Night #23


  • Synopsis: Patrick Kenzie, a private investigator from working-class Boston takes on a case involving a kidnapped girl. The girl's aunt begs Patrick to take the case because he has connections to criminal Boston that the police do not. He agrees and along with his partner, Angie Gennaro, they uncover a web of corruption that threatens the relationship between the two. (from Blockbuster.com)
  • Sounds like a typical cop/detective movie. What's so special about it? Casey Affleck, for one. Ben's baby brother had a great year in 2007 when he had this movie, OCEAN'S 13, and THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD come out. (He was nominated for an Oscar for that last movie, but lost to Javier Bardem for NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.) He's become one of my favorite actors recently, and he gives a great performance here.
  • Anything else? Yeah, how about Ben Affleck's direction? Who knew he could direct?! Frankly, and you'll probably agree with me, I'd rather see him do more directing than acting, if he can make more films as good as this one (his debut).
  • When: 5/16, 8:00PM

Movie Night #22


  • Synopsis: A man being pursued by a murderer stumbles into a mysterious lab and accidentally travels back in time. A naked girl in the midst of the forest. A cloaked stranger with his face covered in bandages. A disquieting mansion on the top of a hill. All of them pieces of an unpredictable jigsaw puzzle where terror, drama and suspense will lead to an unthinkable sort of crime. Who's the murderer? Who's the victim? (from tributemovies.com)
  • Another horror movie? No, despite the poster with the masked man holding a pair of scissors, this movie isn't scary. Although it has characteristics of a thriller, it's more about the time travel aspects, more like a modern sci-fi story. Think BACK TO THE FUTURE, minus the comedy. (It does have some funny moments though.)
  • A naked girl? Awkward... OMG bewbs?! Grow up, a nipple sighting won't kill ya.
  • When: 5/2, 8:00PM
