almost a month after...
hmm... when i said later i didn't think it'd be this much later, but then again these gaps happen when you wait for being in the right mood to do stuff. i'm like that for almost everything, and since i'm oh so lazy i never really feel like doing anything. right now i'm in the bloggy mood cause by keeping myself busy i'm avoiding some unpleasant work.
okay so i was gonna give a sloppily-done review of The Incredibles, but it's been too long i can't even do that. so i'll say the few things that come to mind, that film was quite entertaining. my favourite thing about it, besides the james bond~ish elements, was that the kid characters didn't get as much screentime. lemme just say that i don't hate children... but these pixar films always have children characters (with this one being no exception) and they seem to be all the same to me. i'm annoyed by that, greatly annoyed. it's why i don't love Finding Nemo to death like so many others, mainly because i don't really like nemo. all this "oh no"-cutesy-"ya gotta love me" stuff i'm sensing (and which anyone who reads this will have no idea what i mean) makes me so very ill. so to sum up everything, Incredibles = very good.
and while i'm venting about things that makes me ill, i read some furuba spoilers about akito (<- me thinks it's her name).
Spoiler (to read: move mouse over blacked out text)
she slept with shigure(doggy) and kureno(roostie). >o< that totally sucks! i can't believe she has them both, those two are my favourite. though not exactly a love triangle (based on what i read: kureno not exactle in love), to have a sorta triangle with those 2 over someone like akito is sooo terribly disappointing. and it's not just cause she's evil, even when she was young and cutesy, i'm bugged big time. the evil in me is glad she's dying.
okay my opinion is extreme and judgemental. afterall, i really am not a fan of furuba so am not aware of the whole story (my thoughts are based on summaries and a few scans). and i could be harsh partly cause she's a girl. why? cause i'm more critical of female characters. oh well, i never claimed to be reasonable.
as a bit of pondering, i wonder if i should get a livejournal just so that i can actually read others' journals. quite a number of people have "friends only" access to theirs, *cries* i feel so "shut out in the cold".
although i really don't want to abandon this blog... i'm just worried that if i create one i'll feel this weird obligation to maintain both. and quite frankly, i don't even have the energy to do a great job taking care of this one. this all brings to mind the touch of envy i feel when viewing other blogs with the nice layouts and stuffed with tons of news.
okay must go as i'm late. cheerio

movie stuff
after a nightmare of a week, i made time to watch some films, namely Shaolin Soccer and The Incredibles.
...hmmm what do i want to say about them?
Shaolin Soccer
so far i only bothered watching the original chinese version with subtitles. and based on that i would say that this film is strange and amusing. in all honesty it wasn't as light-hearted as i expected. but i'm not saying it's dark either... it's just the times where bullies are kicking & beating up people, which is more sad than funny. there are nice action elements and the characters are likeable.. the bad guy is fun to watch as well, "cha-cha cha-cha-cha" ^u~.
though it seems like the cliche underdog story, i find it a nice touch about how winning is not really about the money, nor the urge to get revenge, nor the want for personal fame. it's all about promoting shaolin... and that's something new right?
will continue later....
