David Lloyd has since grown a bit as an artist, but his style represents everything that I don't like about dark-age comics. You have to understand it's entirely a case of personal taste. I felt the same way about the art of Watchmen as well. The only reason I felt I could let that slide was the irony present in drawing that particular story in such a cliched style.

The only art I've really hated in any must have graphic novels I've obtained is The Dark Knight Returns. I can barely stand that pile of overhyped shit without the stinky artwork.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of Frank Miller's artwork myself. Sin City was okay though, if not purely for some of the clever lighting techniques he used.

I have just seen "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World".

Older than pretty much everyone here (1963), but dang was it good.

Saw Inception in the theater. Interesting movie, somewhat complicated story but very enjoyable.

Just watched that animated film Bee Movie.

It's...odd. It definitely doesn't feel like a kids' film, but it's still a kids' film?

I dunno. The humour made me smile a few times though.

Inception! God damn I wanna see that again it was great and it had the new Tron Legacy trailer before it!!!

The Sorcerers Apprentice. I liked it I guess, I mean, it wasn't a masterpiece or anything, but I liked it.

Saw Inception. It was pretty good, it made me think without being pretentious. The 5-layer thing was done pretty well, I liked how they kept cutting between realities. I saw the Dom Cobbs (terrible name)-did-inception-on-his-wife thing coming a mile off, but it didn't stop me enjoying the film. Also <3 gravity switches.

I'd have to see it more than once to form a proper opinion on it, but it's the closest thing we're going to get to Psychonauts: The Movie.

Watched Wolf Man. It was alright. I liked the atmosphere and style.

Oh, and Clash of the Titans and The Men Who Stare at Goats.

To Hell with CotT. Fancy puppet show with Sam Worthjackshitington. MWSaG was meh. It seemed silly and rather overrated to me. Did have its funny moments, though.

Wife Swap. Apparently, LARPing Rednecks exist.

Office Space, for like the 4th time in about a week. I love that movie, so much, and I don't care what anyone says. It's just too hilarious for words(if that made sense...)

Trainspotting, Very good, very dark, and very funny, in a crazy-druggies-fucking-up-everything kind of way. Highly recommended, though there were a few scenes that kinda freaked me out, you know what I'm talking about if you've seen it. THE FUCKING BABY, MAN!

Wathed The Cove. It was the first enviromentalist documentary that genuinely made me want to do something. I'm seriously going to the next 'Save the Whale' rally that comes near my town.

I watched "Antichrist" today. It was fucking terrible; could not get my head around it. And some of it made me feel fucking sick. As soon as i got home i threw the DVD into the bin.

Good. Bye.

Could you take it back out and send it to me?

You're not missing anything. Willem Defoe will go to hell for this.

I haven't seen Willem Dafoe's balls yet. That's something that I'm missing.

Eh. Even joking around. Any attraction to Willem Defoe's balls (Which you hardly see at all)
Will be overwritten by the self mutilation, genetal injury and the fox who disembowels itself.

Yeah, okay. I'll give you my address to mail it to.

In all seriousness. It's something i think you'd be fine with, i mean it's one of those. "Lets sit down and shock ourselves" movies. No real plot. Like at all or none that is obvious to me. It's a "Fuck and cut fest".

So yeah, an experience. But one thing i will say is that you should keep Abbey totally oblivious to such a films existence if you are to own it. Seriously. It takes a lot to make me squirm like that.

Are you trying to say that my tastes lean towards shock instead of content? If you weren't so right I would slap you in the face.

Seriously, though. It's a Lars Von Trier film. If you didn't know what you were going to be getting into beforehand then you have no one to blame but yourself.

Yeah, show Abbey Grave of the Fireflies instead. Be a good parent.

True, after the film was over i turned to my mate and declared that we got what we deserved. So yeah, i'm counting it as a lost cause and moving on.

The Antichrist sounds fucked up.

I just watched American History X for the first time, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Edward Norton is such a brilliant actor.

Toy Story 3. It was wasn't as good as the first one, but nobody expected it to be so that was fine. All in all it was a perfectly adequate ending to the TS story. That emotional scene in the incinerator was a bit stupid though. An emotional and dramatic finale is all fine if it's the ending. But if you're going to just pull them out with 'The Claw' then what was the point?

That monkey was pretty creepy though.

Inception. I thought it was pretty good, actually. It was long (it definitely needed to be) and left me feeling like I needed some Advil afterwards, but it was a very enjoyable movie with the magic and intimacy of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the trippy action of The Matrix.

Nice twist at the end too.

I think that´s debatable.

It was a bit predictable, true. And it's also the sort of twist that makes the entire film irrelevant if it means what you think it does.

Also saw Inception. I see MeechMunchie is one of those types who thinks that Leonardo Dicaprio's totem didn't stop spinning despite how it was clearly going to before the cutaway.

Otherwise, holy shit, damn good movie. It seems like the more creative elbow room Christopher Nolan has the better he does, because Inception was a really entertaining film.

Most of the arguments that its a dream argue that since its his dream, and he knows the mechanics of it, his mind allows it to fall. Reality is perception, and if his mind perceives his dream to be reality then everything will probably seem normal. I think he wasn't dreaming though.

I'm not really sure either way. They left it wobbling so it could either keep spinning or fall - it wobbled when it was spinning in the safe. And there are plenty of arguments for it being a dream at the end.

I'm sure there's a narrative law that if there's two interpretations and 'It was all a dream' is one, then the other is automatically true by dint of not being half arsed and lazy.

A friend of mine pointed out that Cobb only wore his wedding ring while dreaming, and apparently he was wearing it at the end. Regardless, I liked it a lot.

I saw Moon again, but from the start this time. I missed a lot of the important GERTY stuff the first time I watched it, so it was really cool to see some of the lengths he goes to protect the first Sam, and the scene where he tells him the truth about whether he's a clone or not was actually touching. Easily the best movie I've seen this year.

Yeah. I just can't believe how damn good Moon was.

Moon was good.

2010 is better

Just watched some Venture Bros. 'Tis awesome.

The A Team.


THEY FLY A FUCKING TANK SON OF A BITCH!

Despicable Me. I liked it, but it wasn't in 3D, and there was a lot of "LOOK THIS WOULD BE COOL IN 3D AND THIS AND THISANDTHISANDTHISANDTHISANDTHISANDTHIS!". Steve Carrell was better than I expected, and it was a genuinely cute movie. The aesthetic for everything except for the little girls was RIDICULOUS. Especially The Banker. Ohh, that Banker, my god.
