Blogging

Isn't blogging a stupid pass-time?

There are millions of things that I could, and should, be doing right now and yet I choose to type out stuff about myself. Why? To feed my ego? To annoy you? To promote worth causes (Look I'm plugging a friend's music already - http://www.myspace.com/nin10joe64)? To inform you of things you might actually care about? All equally valid possibilitys, none true. I'm doing this because I'm bored, well that and so I can plug (http://www.myspace.com/nin10joe64) things. Lots. (http://www.myspace.com/nin10joe64)

Okay, I'll stop doing that. (http://www.myspace.com/nin10joe64)

Okay, on another note, I went to see Hellboy 2 today, and my opinion is a resounding "Urgh". First off I would like to say that I loved the art direction, and the special effects were good, but other than that the film has very little to be proud of. The script is all over the place, one moment dealing with the concept of genocide, then returning to obsess over the intricacies of puns. The sound is ripped directly from the "generic action movie" school of classical music (unlike my friend's music - http://www.myspace.com/nin10joe64 - sorry, it was just too easy), and the actual plot is so... dull. Full review coming soon.

I also picked up the Force Unleashed demo from the Playstation Store earlier this week, it's too early to say how the full game is going to be, but if the demo is any indication; I'm out. The force controls are crap, you never really feel involved in the action, and the enviroment in the demo is so lifeless. Also, the graphics are crap, which is a real no-no in this day and age (which are the same thing, damn phrases). I'll wait until the full game is out until I condem it though.

Last thing I'm gonna rant about today is the Max Payne trailer (go to youtube), which looks very pretty -- but already confirms that they messed up the plot. I mean, Flying Demons? Unless this is the Director being artsy and using physical representations of a Valkyr to show what happens when someone takes the Valkyr drug, then I think we're screwed. The only other explanations that I could think of were that the Valkyr drug somehow causes people to mutate, or the director was high and thought he would make Constantine 2.

Whatever, I'm done for today. First comic issue should be released this week, and reviews are gonna be released as usual.
