If magical girls were real

Daniel Cook shared through his Google Feader feed an article about Progressive Signups, which led me to QuietWrite.  Might as well talk about some things while testing how it works.

Here goes…

The PC Cthulu Saves the World Kickstarter project is about to close in a few hours. It very easily reached [...]

Hollywood's Big Ideas

Just want to share Alex Shaw’s Gonzo Gaming 7 podcast which tackles on the current trends in Hollywood.  Of particular note are his comments on the wave that is 3D, how film producers and consumers are riding it, and how it relates to piracy.  The fact that the videogame industry is also riding this wave [...]

Scott Pilgrim vs The Trailer

VS

A personal letdown is when I hold-off reading something for long periods of time only to go back when a movie adaptation is coming-up (bad darthvid, no twinkie!); It makes me feel dirty (“riding the trend train” dirty).

I read Precious Little Life shortly after vs The Universe got published (late in the game, [...]

Avatar movie reviewed by epic Episode 1 review guy

After an epic Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace review, Mike Stoklasa is back with a review of Avatar.  It’s a more manageable 20 minutes now, and given that Avatar has fewer… “inconsistencies” compared to the subject of his previous review, it still manages to exhibit the same humor and level of film-making analysis [...]

70min Star Wars: Episode 1 movie review better than actual 130min movie

Mike Stoklasa‘s review is really long @$$, but seems to fly faster than Anakin’s pod-race sequence!  It’s a bit like Film Making 101 meets Yahtzee.  The humor can get disturbing at times, but it is brutally honest with an eye for the structure and purpose of film.

Perhaps Gizmodo’s headline describes it aptly by saying that [...]

Re-Enter the Dragon

Last Week, Discovery Channel (SEA) aired How Bruce Lee Changed the World.

Last Friday, Sole Movement let us know that the Nike Zoom Kobe V Bruce Lee colorway should be available (in BHS?) in around a week’s time (Feb 6).

So, does the following formula hold?

Bruce Lee + Nike Zoom Kobe V =

Nike Zoom [...]

Want Yoda kicks?

Saw some Star Wars themed Adidas kicks while walking around the mall. There were only 2-3 models on display (Darth Vader, Stormtrooper, and something else that’s… black). Looking through the official catalog showed me this:

Answer to the question above:  WANT!

BTW, the collection’s intro video is a nice mashup of clips from the movie, [...]

June 2009 recap

Busy month, last June was.  A lot of interesting stuff, and not enough time write lengthy spiels about.  Micro-blogging has thankfully allowed me to at least place some of those thoughts on record (which reminds me to look for some means of archiving them properly), but some of them are somewhat significant that I’d like [...]

Watch[men] 80′s style cartoons on a Saturday morning

Ah, TGIF.  But there’s nothing like waking-up to Saturday morning cartoons!

[OMFG!!!  I just LOVE all the irony and sarcasm they packed in that minute and ten!  \(^0^)/ ]

Who watched the Watchmen? I did, and you should too!

… well, you should if you’re willing to deal with a deep/heavy storyline involving personal issues, the nature of humanity, and supes.  The story ain’t for everybody, nor is the movie.

If you still don’t know, Watchmen is a movie directed by Zack Snyder based on a 12-issue comic of the same name, which was written [...]
