recently watched Juno:

a stark contrast to the first movie i saw Ellen Page in, where she played a psycho teen:

she was also kitty pryde in the X-Men: Last Stand movie…she was probably only in it for the money, compared to the two films above.

.clint eastwood’s unforgiven

January 20, 2008

one of my all-time favorite movies. much better packaging this time around compared to the cheap cardboard pack case of the original dvd release (one of the reasons why i held off on buying it on original release)

Blade Runner 2-Disc Special Edition DVD

it’s certainly not the ultra-fancy, uberexpensivilimited ultimate edition packed in a suitcase, but it will suffice.

.astro boy on dvd

January 16, 2008

actually had this last year but only started getting around to watching recently. this is the 80’s version that i grew up watching (not the original 60’s series). i never realized how awful the english dub was. i also was too young to remember how deep the themes of the episodes were or at least how they kiddified a lot of themes. there’s a few cool synth/electro sounds going on on some of the background music too.

there’s 8 dvds, 51 episodes and a booklet in the set. (i’ve only gotten to the second disc so far)

.metroid prime has been taking up my time

January 16, 2008

metroid prime gamecube

with the scarcity of wii’s, and me not really playing video games as much anymore, i figured i’d go bargain hunting for quality games i haven’t played on my gamecube. most of the VG shops at the malls (like eb and gamestop) have taken most of their gamecube stock off the shelves and relegated them to their clearance bins. i managed to get metroid prime for $5! oh the joys of finding really good games for (essentially) dead systems.

.typographic belt

.new years nonresolutions

January 5, 2008

on the short list of things i would probably not achieve this year: lose weight. not that i haven’t done it before, it’s just harder with my metabolism wittling away with age. oh, and lack of discipline.
