Hellboy II: The Golden Army of Regenerating Mechanical Scaries with Red Mist-like Souls
which are Indestructible.
A great movie from start to finish; a highly entertaining ride of humour, violence, and one cool, pale, pasty elf with a bad eye job (didn't anyone notice the scars under his eyes?).
While it was neither thought-provoking or emotionally stirring, it was extremely entertaining. It jam-packed as many nuggets of humour, action and nasty monsters as possible into 2 hours of wild, rolicking good, clean (well, after the Tooth Fairy were done, it weren't clean at all) fun fun fun.
As good as Ironman? Nope. I liked Ironman much better because
1) Robert Downey Jr.
2) Robert Downey Jr. without his shirt
3) Robert Downey Jr. without his shirt and pants (nah, just joking)
Ahem.
Besides, Ironman was stronger, plot-wise. While Hellboy2 was great (the monsters and effects were SUPERB) it lacked a strong plot; yes, kicking ass is great, but what else? The plot allowed for more character development but seemed disjointed from the first, for some reason.
The bits I liked best were the bits about the Elemental and the final showdown. And Hellboy's in-your-face attitude.
So...
Humour: 9/10
Plot: 6/10
Special mumbo-jumbo: 10/10
RM 18 for a Mouse with Flashing Lights
See, while I like Bra-man's RM109 gaming Logitech mouse, I can't use it forever. Having held on to it for soooo long (sorry Bra!) I finally got my ass to buying one of my own.
So I wanted to go to Times Square or wherever to get one, but I ended up at Desa Setapak instead. Anyways, I headed off to buy one, and went to a shop I trust (bought quite a few stuff from them b4, no probs so far) and looked around for a mouse to match the prowess of Bra's mouse but at a fraction of the price (say RM 20).
I am joking.
I aint' THAT mad yet. XD
I was looking for a mouse, a simple mouse with the lowest price tag there.
Found two: Cliptech something (black and silver but ugly sort of black and silver) and e-view something (pink and white, lime green and white, rather pretty). Both RM18.
So I decided on the e-view something. And bought it happily. What I didnt' know was that Mr Mouse had a penchant for disco lights.
It has, I quote from the back of the packaging,
'Colourful LED lights avalaible.'
Literally. It flashes green, blue, pink, yellow and red alternately.
All I can say is
-_-'
I gots a LaLa Mouse.
-____________-'
Oh well. At least I can spend hours watching it blink. And flash.
One Perodua Kenari Full of Crazy People
(Kenari right? Yes. K's Kenari.)
Today's movie trip may be the most traumatising of my life.
Memorable quotes:
Bra: Oh my J, your hair is so smooth!
J: No, say it in Japanese.... *something* J-san.....
*pause*
J: Whats hair again ah???
*laughter*
Best Quote ever!
Bra: Like I said, I am both muscle and fat! And the muscle ain't on top!
Classic. Along with:
Me: All hands and feet on deck??
Bra: I think I left my pe**s behind in the toilet.
I think, my sanity flew out the window, quite literally.
But nonetheless, a great day with a great movie and some crazy, crazy friends.
Brag moment:
I GOTS A FULL TEN OF TEN IDEAS FOR MR LSJ's IDEA GENERATION. MUAHAHAHA. TAKE THAT. AND THAT. AND, ERM, THAT.
