Movie Watcher's Log
2195: "Ponyo": I found about this at Worldcon. Saw it with all of GLSE at the Kendall Square Cinema. It's not Totoro, but at least it had more plot than "Steamboy". What concerned me was the lack of backstory on some of the underwater characters, especially Ponyo's mother. Also, it was probably a poor decision to have Liam Neeson voice an androgynous character. It's still cute. | | 1:27 am |
That Twitter Novel Meme
Rather betray fuck buddy, flunk math, and embrace status quo than have my face gnawed by rats. So there, already. | | Sunday, August 16th, 2009 | | 3:31 am |
My Worldcon
I should probably core dump this while I still can since memories are fading. I still remember 2007 in Yokohama with hammercock, in which we partied with the Montreal bidding committee. It was no contest between Montreal and Kansas City for 2009. Having said that, we prepared for weeks to have a great time since we missed last year's con in Denver. This time, I will be with more people I knew in a more familiar city. I was in Montreal over 8 years ago and fell in love with the environment. A few things have changed since (like the exchange rate and my marital status). Thursday: We left early in a caravan with noire and J to avoid any rush hour traffic before hitting the border. NOTE: Always fill the fuel tanks in Vermont before crossing the border. Unfortunately, we were near the Montreal city limits by 5pm, so it took over an hour to travel 5km. Nonetheless, we were able to check in to our hotel by 7pm. We had the luxury of having our hotel right across the street from the convention building. It was convenient for panels and lectures but not for parties since the official party hotel was blocks further away. After check-in came the common problem of trying to catch-up and coordinate with everybody at the con. Too many schedules; too little time. It ended up being a small dinner mob of 4 with hammercock, noire and J where they were kind enough to indulge me with a piece of nostalgia. One of the places I remembered eating 8 years ago was a Polish restaurant called Stash Cafe in the Old Port. It introduced me to pirogis, and I fell in love with the area. Very European with wonderful food. With each sight, smell, sound, and taste, an old memory resurfaced. There were a lot of, "Oh yeah, I DID THAT!" Try the duck, beer, and wine there. Stay for the old-style architecture. After that, we parted for parties until 4am. TO BE CONTINUED | | Thursday, August 13th, 2009 | | 9:16 am |

Movie Watcher's Log
2193: "Coraline": I saw the Friday screening at Worldcon. In theory, it was following an introduction by Neil Gaiman. Unfortunately, hammercock and I missed that. (I'm still trying to remember what we did that evening. Dinner? Where? I remember what she was wearing. I remember the afternoon with noire, but not much else. Reminds me of movie #2194.) The screening took almost an hour long due to technical difficulties. If there was such a thing as an anti-ad, it would be for a Blu Ray player. Thankfully, someone got the DVD version before the entire audience stormed out. To be honest, this was the most I've been immersed with Neil Gaiman fiction with the exception of seeing sweetmmeblue as Death. Almost like a reverse Nightmare Before Christmas. Remind me never to piss off the cat. 2194: "The Hangover": I just saw this less than an hour ago. It's so wrong, but in a good way. Between this and "He's Just Not That Into You", Bradley Cooper perfects the Smooth Operator role. This movie brags not one but two Daily Show alumni. Ed Helms handles the Nerd-coming-out-of-shell role well. I fear that Rachael Harris will be typecast as the Frosty Bitch for a while. Even Mike Tyson was funny. | | 1:28 am |
Well, I'm Home
hammercock and I came back from Worldcon. Eventually, there will be: A core dump Detox A sanity check Now, off to my squishy bed. Current Mood:  drained | | Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 | | 2:16 pm |
Movie Watcher's Log
2191: "300": I finally saw it as it was saved on our Tivo. It did look like a video game 2192: "Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince": Though I never read the books, I knew enough of the story to know already how it ended. Now, I'm just trying to wait until 2010 and 2011 for the final films. | | Friday, July 17th, 2009 | | 12:48 pm |
Movie Watcher's Guide
2189: "Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down": Funny. I saw this on cable. The format reminded me of Hitchhikers. 2190: "3 Blind Mice" Chewie film with Edward Furlong. Imagine witnessing a murder via webcam. Not going into details due to personal kinks. | | Thursday, July 16th, 2009 | | 4:34 pm |
Random Thought of the Day
Never read literary criticisms of a play before seeing said play. You will overanalyze and forget to be entertained. This concludes our random thought of the day. Current Mood:  thoughtful | | Tuesday, June 30th, 2009 | | 8:39 pm |

Random Thought of the Day
I'm tempted to see the Transformers sequel just to post thereafter, "NOW, Michael Bay raped my childhood." This concludes our random thought of the day. Current Mood:  silly | | Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 | | 3:23 pm |
Movie Watcher's Log
2188: "He's Just Not That Into You": I should actually start with a confession: I like classic and surreal romantic comedies. I'm a romantic. The more twisted, the better as long as one thing happens: he gets the girl or vice versa. This is why I thought "Slumdog Millionaire" was a good choice for Best Picture at the Oscars. This is why, though "Chasing Amy" was better in originality and intelligence in dialogue, I preferred "Zac and Miri Make a Porno". This is why I bought the DVD to this film. By many purposes, this should be at best a mediocre film. It's easy to scoff at how the characters deconstruct and dissect each movement and word to falsely surmise any hidden message. We believe what we want to believe and can be guilty of overanalyzing. We think that our crowd is above the antics of the characters in the film, but the film is applying what I call "Hollywood Hyperbole:" a bit out of proportion but the problems are real. In my case, I envision the letter "S" in the beginning to reiterate that there were times in which the answer was simple: she just doesn't like me "that way." ( Surprisingly long actor/character analyses with possible spoilers )Overall, one must remember two things after seeing the film: (1) the less serious you take dating, the happier you will be, and (2) avoid genearalized pronouncements on how supposedly all men or all women think. |
