See the elusive girl geek as she acts in local theater! Watch as she writes manuscripts, fanfiction, and anything else that come out of her deranged mind! Gawp as she reviews movies that normal women would run from in terror! GIRL GEEK!
PLOT: A guy named Mud talks to some kids with his shirt off, but not in a molesty way. I hope. May have something to do with fishing, the south, deadbeat dads, or actual mud.
So anyway, a good summer blockbuster in the vein of Jaws. They reserve showing the monster until about an hour in, and the buildup is great. There have been complaints about cutting away from Godzilla to show the protagonist more, but its less about Transformers-style 'screw the interesting creature, watch this doofus!' and more about atmosphere.
The marketing was BRILLIANT. Bryan Cranston isn't the main character, and I don't even mind. The MUTAs being the real bad guys, while Godzilla is a people-avoiding anti-hero? Awesome choice? ATOMIC BREATH MAKES A COMEBACK AND HE FRIES THE FEMUTA WITH A LASERBLAST DOWN HER THROAT?!???!!! WIN! WIN! WIN!
Just go die already.
I loved it. Loved it, loved every minute of it. And guess what? That's right: SEQUEL BITCHES! I'm as happy as a jump roping dog.
Okay, I do realize how wrong this could go. The only hope is for the creative team to stick together and keep the movie characters rational and reasonable. Oh, you want to take a train with a nuke to your family?! TOO BA--Oh, wait, your an expert and have the exact skills we need to successfully complete the mission? Okay, sure, go. OH, you don't like the bomb plan, huh?! Well, do you have any suggestions? I'd like to hear them if so, because you're the expert scientist. We just want to save as many lives as possible.
It's Morphin' (into an incredibly positive and fun celebrity that reminded me of my prepubescent crush) time! AYAH!
Sadly, Ken Page wasn't there Sunday when Bahamute and I went. My CATS vhs will remain unsigned.
Bahamute cosplayed as Lobo, of DC fame. A good 13+ people shouted him out. Success!
I went as Nina Tucker and was mistaken for Lobo's Pit Bull. Boo. Maybe at the next anime con.
Not including the actual photo of me. This is close enough.
Wow, I never saw the actual photo of myself until just before blogging this. All desire to talk about the improved management has fled. I'm overweight, but good GOD.
Okay, just need to focus on the positive. Picked up some cool art. Got Christ Sarandon to sign my Child's Play DVD. Jason David Frank's panel was fun.
Um...That's about it.
Seriously distressed over that picture. Gonna work on my next blog entry now.
I'm off work today. As you know, I work in an industry that has frequent contact with the deceased, and veterans (often one and the same). My great uncle served in WWII and passed away a few short months ago. My cousin fought in Iraq, as did his sister's husband. I have several friends who are vets and still dealing with government BS. I have friends currently serving in the Navy and the Army.
I don't know how to thank these people properly.
That's it. No jokes today. Go and hug your loved ones because a soldier fought to keep us free so you could. God bless and keep our men and women, past and present, here and gone, near and far.
