"I'm coming for blood"

So life had been pretty busy and that with all the usual uni things....well essays. anyway so lets talk about stuff then. Im gonna start with the most recent thing which was seeing 'Wolverine' on Saturday. possible spoilers.

Although not a bad film 'Wolverine' tries very very hard to be an epic and why shouldnt it for a character with such a rich history. However on one point most of the actual comic book history of Logan is ignored and chopped up into a fantastic opening credit sequence. infact that is pretty much the best part of the film (which is what alot of people said about "Watchmen" but in this case it's true). The film skips a signifigant part of Logan's life and therefore alot of the depth that people like Miller gave him in the comics (such as the whole Japan bussiness). This aside the film still has many more flaws, the jump from a childhood Logan to one that has been a veteran of four wars happens in about ten minutes. Then all of sudden everything happens with little set up, he joins a team, leaves the team then jump ahead six years to having a wife. What just happened? a poorly constructed romance story begins and Sabertooth is suddenly killing the old team. The film jumps around so much it feels like im having some jittery fanboy recite the movie to me. its like someone cut out all the character development and even movement of characters. thoughout people pop out of nowhere in ways that make no real sense what so ever. not only that but we hear "I'm coming for you" said into radio much like John Rambo. By the end we have magic bullets and a Deadpool that is an insult to the character. perhaps as a longtime fan a Logan im a little biased but the more i think about this film the more i see the missed oppertunity that it was.

However this an entertaining film with lots of Kablam which is more than worth seeing.


So now thats out of the way we can talk about what really matters.

Friday night the youth went to Intencity. House of the Dead 2 is still entertaining.

Actually Saturday was a pretty busy day, i had lunch with steve and then went to obviously see Wolverine with Adriel who i hadn't seen in about 5 months. for the first time in a while i actually felt like i was back at school. in the way that because i hadnt seen Adriel this year it felt like some sort of freaky time warp. yeah.

That night I saw Topsy and hung with him for a bit before getting dinner with Matt at university hill.

I Finally got to play GTA4 at Pete's. I gotta say....impressive. the world that Rockstar have developed in that game is so detailed and realistic*. gotta get a copy of it soon to play around with....along with a lot of other games *sigh*.....Im still playing Ace Attorney too these days....damn point and click games are so addictive.

Oh yeah i also got the 5th season of MacGyver. which seriously made me question how far out they could actually push the series. in the opener Mac uses an ancient Laser built by an alchemist which consists of....a rock, three septers, a "mirror" and a big ruby. My "everything was actually possible on MacGyver" arguement is taking huge blows this season. Still have to buy season 6 and 7.

Thats about all i can actually recall right now...i can never seem to remember all the exciting things that happen these days *




*In comparrison to the rest of the franchise
**that was sarcasm

So I guess...

Be Seeing you
