It seems genius has turned to madness

So, more updates to the general blog layout and stuff. Spaced things out nicely, put stars in to separate blog posts, stuff like that. I haven't really touched anything else in a while, been too busy/preoccupied.

First on the ledger, how badly Hitchhikers Guide sucked. It sucked pretty hard. I have only read the first chapter of the book, and I honestly laughed more in that one chapter than I did for the entirety of the movie. I went in to that movie with literally NO expectations, my mind was blank as slate and ready to accept whatever the movie wanted to throw at me. Despite my open mind, as open as the Saskatchewan horizon, I still walked out of the theatre disappointed. It takes a special kind of suck to pull that off. And Chris, I don't want to hear any excuses about how the movie is its own thing and shouldn't be compared and Zaphod was casted perfectly or ANY of that BS, because the movie sucked, end of line.

So I finished school. Hoorah! I think I did well. In fact, lets see if my marks are posted yet!

Aah, no such luck.

I want to arrange some sort of Star Wars get together. We need to watch I and II, see III, then finish the series off with the last 3. I hear Chris wants to see a Midnight showing, which is dandy with me. What better reason to pull an all nighter than for Star Wars? Leave comments and shit, maybe I'll sling out an email.

Michael Jackson will be put away for 2 decades if he is found guilty in his trial. That makes me really really sad, and I want to believe he didn't do it, but who knows? He might even be innocent and sent away regardless. It's not like his new music is as good, anyways.

Watched The Assassination of Richard Nixon, which is an incredible, fantastic movie. It stars Sean Penn and revolves around the life of Sam Bick, the man that tried to fly a plane into the Whitehouse. It really succeeds as a drama where The Woodsman failed. During the Assassination, you really begin to feel for Sam, despite knowing what kind of person he is, and the ending is perfectly executed. His taped monologues are also very profound, and Sean Penn voices them brilliantly. The Woodsman left me confused, not knowing whether I should feel sorry for Kevin Bacon's character or not, and the ending was abrupt and lacked any sort of climax. Anyways, see Assassination, its on shelves now.

Other disappointments: Spanglish, Sideways, Blade Trinity (but I could have told you that)

Possibly the coolest PS2 game to date, God of War, was released a while back. I rented it and then exploded into a thousand flames. This game is too cool, and brutal, for words. The violence is ridiculous, and the specialty kills are over the top, and everything is so fluid and cinematic. The first boss fight, with the three heads of the Hydra, simply trumps any gaming experience I have had to date. Brenna was over one afternoon while I was in between save points and it seemed like she enjoyed watching it, which counts for something, I guess.

This post is long, CUT.
