Weekend Wrap-up: 15-16 September 2007
I haven't done one of these in a while. Here's what went on in and around the International House of Johnson this past weekend:
- I started cleaning my office on Saturday. Unlike previous efforts, I did take a "before" photo, which I will post along with the "after" photo when I eventually finish.
- After messing around with Firefox in Kubuntu for several hours, I finally got everything running properly, including the Foxmarks and Greasemonkey plug-ins.
- I watched Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme
, the latest animated movie from Marvel Entertainment and Lionsgate. Though I wouldn't necessarily call myself a Doctor Strange fan, I enjoyed the movie quite a lot. The concept of the ninja-magician doesn't really hold to the classic Marvel version of Strange, but I liked it.
- I played a bit of No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way Saturday night. I managed to escape the tornado-threatened trailer park in Akron and am now infiltrating the H.A.R.M. base in Calcutta; or would be, if I could get past the stinkin' guards.
- Kyle and I watched Elmo's Potty Time
and Elmo in Grouchland: Sing and Play
Sunday morning. I have to give Roscoe Orman (Gordon) a lot of credit for keeping a straight face when discussing the linguistic nuances of pee and poop with Elmo and Baby Bear.
- Laura, Kyle and I had an early dinner at The Cheesecake Factory on Sunday. I should not have ordered the appetizer, as I only ate half of my Cuban sandwich and my three-berry cheesecake is (if Laura knows what's good for her) sitting in the fridge, uneaten.
- Wesley, Bob, Chris and I recorded another episode of Volcanicast Sunday night. We had a blast, but Wesley's got a hell of an editing job ahead of him if he's going to get the show down to 90 minutes.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

If a video game and a music video mated and their offspring was delivered by a comic book, this is the movie that baby would grow up to become. I have not (yet) read a single volume of the comic book upon which this movie is based, but the end result of the adaptation was pretty damned awesome.

An outrageous, silly, hyperactive chain of explosions and aerobatics that hits all the right nostalgia buttons while managing to bring the classic eighties television series into the twenty-first century. Sure, the plot is silly and the action generally falls somewhere between ridiculous and preposterous (occasionally veering well beyond ludicrous), but it's fun and entertaining and doesn't ask (or want, for that matter) you to think too much. In other words, it's THE A-TEAM.

A fairly decent entry into the Killer Croc genre; lots of tension, a bit of gore, and clever use of real crocodiles.

A thoughtful, intelligent piece of sci-fi (as opposed to SyFy) with a stunning performance from Sam Rockwell and a beautiful score by Clint Mansell.

Pee and Poop have nuances?

Linguistic nuances, even.
