A 8 year journey was ended this morning. I finished listening to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. I’ll stay away from saying anything specific. There were too many moments to count where I found a tears in my eyes and the moments increased in frequency the closer to the end I ventures. The Deathly Hollows gets a solid 2 thumbs up and was a great end to a great series. If you have finished the book and want to talk specifics with me, “release the hounds!”

Da Vinci Code was well kinda boring. Seems that in there attempt to not piss anyone off they turned it into a pretty mediocre made for TV movie. What a shame. The book was a good read and had some intresting things to say between the pseudo history.

Someone owes me $7 and 2 hours of my life. Went to see the Spielberg rendition of War of the Worlds last evening. There are some stunning visuals, unfortunately one of those great death ray effects don’t cross the path of the main characters. Never, not once, in the entire movie did I care what would happen to them, other than there death which was not about to happen.
In the words of Comic Book Guy, “Worst Movie Ever!”
Oh the irony. John Stewart Bitchslaps Crossfire and ther retort, saying he softballed John Kerry. So now even the journalists are treating The Daily Show as a serious source of news. Do yourself a favor and get the show by BitTorrent or read the transcript.
On a related note I picked up America (The Book) which is turning into a real work of art. Totally styled like a school text book but probably more informative. And there is a forward from Thomas Jefferson,
P.S. Oh, and is it true Halle Berry is once again single? If so, I’d be forever in your debt if you would put in a good word for T.J. Oh how I loves the mochachina.
Oh, the humor and education in just a P.S.

Sex and Lucia
Sex and Lucia is one of the most beautiful movies I have seen this year. The scenes were almost over powering at times. The locations in Marid and Formentera, Balearic Islands make me want to move. Other than the a short bit in the beginning I forgot about the subtitles, at times they were not needed to tell the story. Similar to Memento and Pulp Fiction the chronology is morphed to good affect. As an added bonous Paz Vega as Lucia is a refreshingly non Hollywood image of beauty, no implants, no bleach.

The Matrix Revolution
I saw it. Didn’t want anything spoiled, and to not spoil it for you select if you want to read furtuer.
It sucked, dammit. I was really hoping that Reloaded would all of sudden stop sucking after Revolution but nah. Oh well maybe the dream trilogy was something that just shouldn’t have happened. Flame on in the comments.
An abriged script for Revolutions. Sums up lots of the stupidity that was Revolutions. And is a much more intresting version 🙂
Also, there were two very cool trailers before Revolutions. The first was for Troy, the big budget Illiad. The second trailer was

I have been a SimCity fan since the playing the first verison on a 286. Absolutely loved the game. Even went so far as to play hookie from life for week playing SimCity2k. Ever since the release of SimCity4 I have been waiting. Waiting for a demo just in case but finally I broke down and made the purchase. I have to give Maxix/EA a thumbs up on the out of the box. The tutorial was great, quick to the point and picked with a real game play at the end. The visuals were stunning. All in all it should have made for a great game. See the should? For some reason it was just absolutely no fun to play. Maybe the series has been played to death. Maybe they just didn’t really add anything imediately new and captivating. Regardless 0 fun factor.
So while on almost every level I would give it a thumbs up it gets a “sucked” and deleted from the harddrive.
