Enter the Madness

I watched Korra at the weekend, but I needed to vent the YJ stuff before posting about this show!

In short,



it was beautiful and I can't wait for the next episodes!

( My thoughts on the episode, and some spoilers! )

Okay, bring on the next episode! :D

A request please, M. Night Shyamalan...



Cos it's just getting beyond silly now. This movie has been made. It's there. Unfortunately, no-one has invented time travel yet, so there's no undoing the fail. People who wanna go watch this movie will watch it. People who don't wanna watch it, won't. But please stop trying to get the fans that you pissed off back "on side" because it won't happen. By making lame excuses/reasonings like that, it's clear you don't know or don't understand exactly why they are upset. It's not the usual "fans of the original are upset again because a few things were changed". It's not them getting pissed off at the equivalent of "THEY MADE PETER PARKER'S EYES BLUE INSTEAD OF BROWN, UNACCEPTABLE!" It's a lot worse than that. You'd be better off focusing on the people who are actually going to watch it, and at least make it a decent movie for them.

Lol, I'm aware that M. Night (and probably most of my f-list :P) won't be reading that, but journal is for venting and venting is good for you! If I don't let it out, I may hit an unsuspecting (but totally deserving) commuter on the way to work.

Now! Off to oogle Tetsuji watch the second episode of BOSS. :D

It's the weekend! Woo!

I'm totally knackered. A little less woo. D: Work is always long on a Friday, I'm afraid I might fall asleep, much to the amusement of my co-workers.

Also, what the hell Disney?! They're doing a Rupunzel movie after the Princess and the Frog movie (with Alan Menken doing the music, hurrah!) and I was excited cos Kristen Chenoweth was going to voice Rupunzel, but now they're going with Mandy Moore instead. I don't have anything against Mandy Moore, but what I liked most about the old Disney movies is that they usually went with actors that had singing/theatre training or worked on Broadway. (Although, I think that stopped happening for the title characters post-Beauty and the Beast.) Cheno has an amazing singing voice. It just feels like they went with Mandy Moore so that they can have a more famous name on the poster. Not saying that famous actors can't do well in animated roles (Robin Williams FTW!), it's just kinda disappointing. I hope I'm wrong and that's not the reason though.

Anyhoo, I decided (very wisely as it turned out) to take a mini break from Odoru Daisousasen to watch 1 Litre of Tears. I figured, since 1 Litre is definitely going to be heartbreaking to watch, at least I'll have a funny drama to watch afterwards! I finished it yesterday and I cried pretty much every episode from 4 onwards. Cos it was a true story, I think it hit home that much more. Gotta say, very impressed with Ryo, he did a lot better than I was expecting. I had only seen him in Attention Please before. The three songs were really nice as well, especially the ending theme by K which always made me tear up! ;_;

So now, back to the amusing police at Wangan Station! :D

Ooh, and an extra note, I never thought in a million years that MatsuJun would look good with any kind of facial hair, but the new stubble is totally working for you dude! *_*

Well, I liked the first two movies. Although the story of the second one could've been a LOT better. I dunno. I'm probably biased, cos this is the first Marvel comics movie where my favourite characters (Ben and Johnny) actually got represented as how they are in the comics. (Poor Nightwcrawler and Spidey. And MJ! And others I cannot recall at this moment ;_; BUT THEY ARE NUMEROUS!)

I don't like this theory that dark = better when it comes to movies. Of course Batman works dark. He's called The Dark Knight for goodness' sakes. And I don't even know what they were thinking when they were playing with the idea of Superman going dark. The Dark Knight made so much money because it made a damn good movie that also stayed close to the feel of the source material. That's something everyone should keep in mind (not just Marvel) when making a comic/animation-to-live-action movie. I'm all for a good dark movie once in a while, but you need some lighter ones too! I've never thought of the FF as anything above a PG kinda movie.
