I realize that some of us are your friends, Joe, but you really should talk this over with your family.

If you're a fan of Indiana Jones, it's definitely worth watching. It's Indiana Jones, except he's older!

Anyone doing anything exciting today?
I, for one, have the distinct (dis)pleasure of finishing up the rest of my homework and studying for a few classes with exams this week.

Entertainment District / The Golden Compass

I loved it! If you're a fan of the books, definitely go see it. 
As an aside, I'm really glad that movie adaptations of books are getting better. There was a time when I avoided them like the plague. Now only if game adaptations would work out as well...

Entertainment District / Resident Evil: Extinction
« on: September 30, 2007, 06:38:31 pm »
If you were a fan of the first two, you'll definitely enjoy this one.
Although it has little in common with the source material (the games), the story manages to be just as interesting. The rundown is that it picks up a few years (8, I think) after the second one ended.
(This bit might be a bit of a spoiler for those who haven't seen the second one)
The T-Virus has infected the world. Not just people, but animals and plant life have been decimated by it, and the world has been turned into a barren wasteland. A few survivors travel from small town to small town searching for supplies. They avoid bigger cities out of fear of the zombies.
(End possible spoiler)
My ratings are a bit skewed because as long as the movie entertains me for the full duration of it, I'll score it very highly. And seeing how this movie did that, I'm going to give it 10/10.

Gaming / Collector's Editions?
« on: September 15, 2007, 08:32:51 pm »
I am just curious as to how many people out there spend the extra money on collector's editions of games.
Personally, I don't buy them. Usually, the collector's editions have an art book or a DVD detailing the making of the game, and I'm just not interested in things like that. Are these things worth it to any of you? Why or why not?

Click here for podcast to News from Lake Wobegon!
It's a great radio show. I could only find the segment News from Lake Wobegon on the website, but the whole show is on NPR every Saturday and Sunday. I'm not sure of the times, though.

Entertainment District / Spiderman 3
« on: May 05, 2007, 12:16:32 am »
Well, I did go watch this tonight with a few friends, and it was awesome. The acting, the story, and the special effects were awesome. However, some of the dialog was weak. Also, some parts were just downright stupid. It's definitely a decent sequel, but it didn't live up to Spiderman 2.

Entertainment District / Who Killed the Electric Car?
« on: March 28, 2007, 11:07:32 pm »
This documentary was really quite interesting. It traced the origins of the electric car, and what eventually led to essentially the complete removal of them from the road.
I thought it was quite interesting. All the technology is there for an electric car that would serve the needs of the majority of people, and it's not too expensive. We'll see what the future holds, though.

Entertainment District / The Protomen

I just got this cd from a friend (I printed him out a sign that said: "If it's yellow: Flush. If it's brown: For God's sake, flush," and this is how he repayed me). They're bloody awesome. Of course, it's probably due to me being a major Mega Man fan.
Really, just listen to them if you can.
