IBNeko's Journal-Nyo~!

Before the movie, we went to Brian's (the Jew-panese) condo to pick out paint colors. I want to own my own condo. Although knowing me, I wouldn't actually decorate it any. <= Lazy.

Up Was Good.

The first bit made me cry. I'm silly and sentimental like that. As did some other part of it - I don't remember which.

Yay, talking doggie! Hehehehe. I wonder how hard it would be to breed that intelligence and then perfect the mind-to-voice technology.

Also, we need a Mythbuster episode to figure out how many balloons would be necessary to lift a small house. We need to know.

Somehow, the adventure was over quicker than I expected. I'm not sure if this was good or bad, but I suppose it's probably good that it didn't get dragged out at all.

After the movie, I met up with family and visiting relatives and we went to the Melting Pot. That was good too - first time to a fondue place for everyone except for me. Expensive, but I think they enjoyed it. And I learned that pouring flaming brandy onto chocolate looks amazingly awesome.

On an unrelated note, I have an annoying headache. And took Tylenol for the first time in a long while. Usually I just ignore it (typically, it indicates either tiredness or dehydration for me), but this one's been there since the movie, and with it being there on-and-off for the past... 4-5ish hours... I got sick of it. Hopefully it's not something else. Like food poisoning or something.

Mmmm, despite the low rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it was still amusing. XD

Still need a client for dreamwidth. ::sighs:: I'll write one eventually, after I get tired of whining at the interwebs.

Inkheart just lot a full 10 points for burning and destroying a library of books. Poor books....

::snickers:: He loves duct tape.

Meh, yeah, it was a mediocre movie. There were points where it was just slow. And I wanted to poke at some of the characters and tell them to move bloody faster... or were being morons.

Although, I think the thing I didn't like most was the fact that there weren't really stable rules for the magic. XD It seems to follow a set rule of equal exchanges - if something goes in, something come out. But that's not true - in the end, everything was set straight without any more sacrifices...

Bolt was good.

Granted, much of me was like, "Hehehe, kitty", but the story was good. Nothing unpredictable, really - it was kinda like eating a tasty, fluffy desert.

The 3D system was interesting - we got glasses and it gave a bit of depth to things. Wasn't amazing or stunning, and not worth paying extra for (I didn't pay for this at all - got a random free Fandango movie code).

The only thing that I think was slightly lacking was the shock Bolt experienced upon realizing that he had no real powers... It was really brief, but he accepted it amazingly well.

Also, "Penny"? Anyone else thought of Inspector Gadget? She had a dog too...

Was awesome.

It's definitely up there on the list of very good movies worth watching this summer.

Watched it in theaters. Definitely worth watching, and the 90% is more than understandable on rottentomatoes.

Yay shiny! Yay amusements!

I watched Avenue Q here at the Hippodrome in Baltimore with Ting, Simpson, my cousin and his fiance.

It was awesome. With much laughing. And it's also nice to know how the songs fit together now - I had guessed how the stories might have been, but I was wrong in a few places. Puppets were cool. Puppet sex... kinda odd. Stage design was not particularly awesome, at least not compared to, say, Wicked. Granted, I was also sitting in one of the $30 (actually $40) dollar seats, on the third floor. Which made seeing kinda hard-ish.

But it was still very, very awesome. Yay for last minute plans to see it.


Saw Sweeny Todd today, and amazingly, they kept with the plot, and included almost all of the songs* - mind, I haven't listened to the entire soundtrack for a while now, and I've only seen one stage production by WST, I think it was. The movie definitely had a lot of blood. And... I don't know, overall, it was much better than I expected. Despite knowing what was going to happen, I still cringed at the deaths. And the blood.


And, after randomly deciding that we should get a Wii, much thanks to my cousin and his fiance, I (very) randomly came across a Wii at Target. Yay for Wii in stock! Played the included Wii Sports, and borrowed two extra controllers from our neighbors, so the entire family could play.. kinda. But it too, is the awesome. I think it's going to stay at home though, seeing how I'll be a senior, and we have no TV in our apartment. Now we just need to get some good party games (although I think my parents will be fine with Wii Sports) and extra controllers. I kinda want to check online for the downloaded old games. That'd be kinda cool... although it would mean having to buy a handheld controller thingie.


2007 is almost over. Somehow, this is a bit sad.


*Unlike the Golden Compass, which was also pretty, but a painful disappointment in the movie industry.

Another fantasy novel going from book to movie~ Hmmm.. I think I have yet to still read it though.

Also, movie that caught my eye:
“Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium”
“Enchanted”

And... today's postsecret that said "I wish I could carry her demons so she wouldn't have to" echoed... rather deeply... :\

I think I need to see this. Hehehe.

Points:
1) I would like to watch it again, with subtitles this time.
2) Yes, there is something after the credits.
3) The level of squickyness went up. Oh, the joint combination of skullrape* + tentacle rape. Oh dear.
4) There were hilarious moments, definitely. Quite a number of them.
5) Crabs. Crabby women. Women with crabs?
6) Telescopes. And boats.
7) 10 years. Egawds. At least they didn't pick chastity belts and exchange keys or something.
8) Graphics were spiffy. Although how they got actors do swing around so much, I dunno. I wonder how it was filmed..? Oh, nevermind, I can figure that out. Hook the boats onto mechanical arms to tilt them as necessary, and leave the ground and background some single color to patch in the ocean later...
9) Jack loves his rum too much. Silly boy.
10) Marriage at sea. Props for impressive choreography.

*Don't know what it is? Don't look it up. You don't want to be scarred for life. Unless you're curious and willing to pay the price.

Randomly amusing line that I want to reuse somewhere:
"Nobody move! *pause* I dropped my brain."

Definitely a movie to purchase later.

11) oh, yeah, whole new meaning to "a pet rock".
