Okay, so I'm on a roll now - I love it when a plan comes together! Ahhhhh hahahahaha..... This too was an awesome movie and I would highly recommend everyone go and see it. I'm happy when I get to go see movies in the theater and they are awesome. It isn't any fun going to the show, droppin' 7 bucks to see a waste of film. hehehehe Glad I didn't go see Bewitched the other night. Sorry Br4x.
War of the Worlds was just shy of spectacular. The special FX fit the cinematic quality of the movie, and the overall pace was gripping and attention grabbing. In some ways it reminded me of Signs, but much faster - it had that same sort of drag your arse to the edge of the seat, and nail it there for 2 hours.
Tom Cruise did an awesome job, and (naturally) Tim Robbins was a delight to have on the screen. I always enjoy movies where he makes an appearance. I'm not sure it holds up to Batman Begins, but it definitely comes close. Go see it - you won't be disappointed.

Check out the movie site too....

The very best damn Batman Movie ever made! The 2 and half hour story seemed to fly by - I had no idea how long I was in the theater. This movie is awesome. The relations built between the characters is flawless, Michael Caine as Alfred was the perfect choice, and I'm not exactly sure (after seeing it) why no one ever came up with the scheme before.

The gadgets and technology in this movie was high-tech of course - but absolutely believable. Not like most of the other crap - especially the dumb one Clooney & Arnold. Common technological terms, set forth in a common vocabulary everyone could grasp, and understand. The car. OMG! The Tumbler was my favorite. Anyone know where i can get one, cus' that has got to kick the crap out of the Hummer 7 days a week, and twice on Sunday!
If you haven't, go see it! Now! If you have seen it; go see it again. I'll meet you there!

I know, I know, big fat hairy surprise. But it is to me okay. Get over it.
So installed ubuntu 5.04 last night, and was dorking with it far too late into, well today - and now, from across a glass of Apple juice - I post to you... (do dooo doooooooo) in ....... LINUX!
W00t W00t!!!!!
There's lots of ironic humor here to be had, but nonetheless, here I sit. behind a linux machine posting a goony little post in Firefox. Where do I go next?
No, really! Where?! I'm freakin' lost here, no clue - none. How the F%$#! do you use the terminal?

I just rented & (unfortunately) watched Blade Trinity on Pay per View. What an unbelievable piece of trash. Hands down, without a doubt, the biggest waste of film I have ever seen in my life. Bad acting, lousy effects, really bad plot and lame action. I don't know what was up with Snipes voice either, he musta had a cold or something the week they took to shoot this flopper - but whatever.
I mean, resurrecting Dracula? OOoohhh... there's an original thought - that's never been played out before.
I'm done.

I just ran across these time wasters and played Hapland for almost an hour, frustrating as heck, I might add butt strangely compelling? I don't know - but I think I might have to try my hand at making a couple of pointless puzzle games in Flash just for S & G. There's 2 of these out, and the second is even more Brain-squeezingly fun. Try it.
One I haven't tried yet though is Archipelago. It has better graphics and seems quite a bit more complex, but I tend to like to distracting simplicity of being able to blow stick figures...

Coming up here in the next couple of days, the wife & squirts are gonna do a little campin'. Since this is Donovan's first camping trip, with friends to boot, he's a little bit on the excited side.
Litsa set up the tent to air it out, and I went to check on big D, and he was over yappin' up the neighbor about his camping trip. The he decided he needed to camp tonight to, so adeptly avoiding the next big brain-splitting battle; I set about getting him set up in his bedroom with a tent.
As you can see, he was.... happy.
