Re: Ranting and Balls

I dunno. It looks long and ugly. I feel like I made a good point, but I also feel like I could have done it without ranting. I like to take a kind of “stream of consciousness” approach, but I think I should abandon that in favor of a more concise approach. If anyone ever reads this, I’m open to suggestions, advice, and criticism!

I’m hearing a lot of talk about how bad that Dragon Ball Evolution movie is. I haven’t seen it yet, I might not see it at all, but… was anyone actually expecting it to be good? Was anyone really surprised that it wasn’t good?

From what I’ve seen and read about it, it’s just fanfiction with a big budget. It probably made Toriyama cry. At least it’s not a “slash fic”.

Cellar Door

So I still can’t get Donnie Darko out of my head.

It was an unusual movie. It was an amazing movie. It was unusually amazing. I won’t give too much away, but the movie takes space/time bending concepts and explores them with some excellent characters. The space/time stuff keeps it from being just a normal “coming of age” film, and the great characters keep it from being just another sci-fi flick.

Go watch it by whatever means possible. Don’t get your hopes up for the sequel, though. The writer/director of the original has no involvement in it at all. That doesn’t mean it can’t be good, but it’s best to approach it without high expectations.
