I cannot stop laughing at this.

Aliens, Fedoras, Jesus Lions and Overweight Pandas

I am back after an extended hiatus! If anyone noticed, that is. Credits go to Halo 3 marathons and strings of Movies [most of which were consecutive]. I have caught Indiana Jones and the kingdom of the Omnipotent Martians [Intergalactic beings, to be precise. I believe this is what you call, a spoiler.], The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian [twice], and Kung Fu Panda.

I think my accurate rephrasing of the title of Indy 4 would pretty much alert you to what the entire movie is about. Yup, that's right. We have KGB agents, guns [RPG included], massive ants, an aged Harrison Ford, and the Transformers kid. But who needs that when you have ALIENS. With MAGNETIC HEADS [that attract even non-magnetic metals]. Prepare for a not-so-willing suspension of disbelief if you haven't caught it yet. I apologize if the spoilers weren't welcome. I think they're more of a warning, really.


Prince Caspian was completely and utterly average. I mean, just because LOTR managed to pull off the battle-fantasy concept with elaborate war scenes and such doesn't mean that every other film should be ripping off its success. Narnia does this. Shamelessly. The film kinda lost it's fantasy aspect for me because of that. I expected something more fairytailish and lighter-going than LOTR. That was the X-factor for me, and it was sorely missing in this film. The romance between Susan and Caspian was completely uncalled for, and there was an overdose of dark-fantasy creatures such as minotaurs and centaurs. Only the anthropomorphic animals and our beloved CGI Jesus-Lion retain their awesomeness. Especially the talking mouse.

Speaking of awesomeness, Kung Fu Panda lived up to its tagline. It was a well scripted story that mercifully avoided cliche. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience that was worth the 9 pm timeslot and the trouble we went through to catch it. The opening animation was particularly impressive.

The holidays are ending soon, and I think I'm expected to shift into high gear around now. But I can't care less. Denial is a wonderful state to live in.

I must stop trying to be funny

Timothy: It's Holland vs France tonight.

Me: Ahahaha, Ho-land!

Me: No one got my jibe.

Rachel: I did, okay.
