Back from the beach. Had a really good weekend. Going to head out in a few minutes to go make decisions on wedding colors and whatnot with Melissa, my mother, and her parents. Yep, colors. Oh, and we get to decide on procession order and stuff. It's a party over here. ;)

I can't complain, though. I spent the weekend at the beach at a resort. It was pretty great.

Came up with a short film concept that I pitched to Jabriel, who thinks it's funny. I might futz around with the idea some more and flesh it out. Also came up with a project idea while helping Nathanael brainstorm for his latest project. I might futz around with that, too.

We saw The Watchmen last week. Overall, I was pleased. However, I've read the graphic novel so I understood what was going on. Melissa, who had never read the graphic novel, was violently pissed off about it. She had no idea what was going on and sensed that if she did know, she would have enjoyed it. Thus, pissed. I think this is largely due to the fact that Zack Snyder is a god awful director.

On retrospect, if it wasn't for the fact that the guy playing Rorschrack was so awesome, I don't think I would have enjoyed the film.

DotD was fun... but 300? Jeebus.

Dude. 300 was amazingly awesome in so many ways. The only way you couldn't like it is if you are either

A) One of those "fanboys" who hates movies that aren't like the books,
B) Not a fan of that kind of violence
or
C) Really lame.

I vote C. Thbbbt.

d) enjoy quality movies.

300 had pretty fantastic visuals, but as a movie it was pretty bad IMO.

I lumped that in with C, actually.

Agreed. I enjoyed it for the abs at first. Upon second watching, could not wait for it to be over.

How about D) someone who is educated and can't stand the fact that someone took one of the greatest battles in history and turned it into a videogame complete with boss fights...

or E) Someone who was paying attention to more than digitally created oiled abs and asses.

Or even F) Someone who understands the difference between good acting and bad acting, good writing and bad writing, and a good movie and a bad movie.

Basically... you suck. ;)
