Kick-Ass

Kick-Ass
I saw Kick-Ass today. I would give it an 8/10. I went in with no expectations, I had no idea what the plot was, if it was going to be serious, cheesy, a comedy, drama. I had no idea about it other than that there was a purple haired girl in it. She’s not even the main character. I was very pleasantly surprised with it…definitely not your standard super hero movie, I don’t think anything like this has ever been done.

I LOVED all the little comic jokes….the movie is LOADED with them….I could probably count about 15-20 that I got…and I’m pro comic nerd. Still, to be able to throw in that many.

OH MAN, ALSO THE DRIVING SOUTH ON YONGE ST!!! I could see the CIBC and the Bay yellow logos at Yonge and Bloor….those were blurred out but they were still totally recognizable to me.

I would recommend seeing it, despite a few things I didn’t really like, it was pretty good.

I realize that my expectation and standard for movies is really high…I’m very picky about every little thing, the small things get on my nerves and I don’t look at the overall big picture. I guess it disappoints me when you can have a movie that’s overall really good, but has some obvious flaws and unnecessary things. They’re small but the fact that they’re in it…makes me ask “who approved this sh!tty idea?!”. I mean, when you look at Battlestar Galactica, which wasn’t even a movie, every single thing is done right. No detail missed, no corners cut (which is actually why ALL the papers, books, everything have cut corners….the show was very meticulous regarding the detail of the show and one of their rules was that “no corner would be cut”). Battlestar Galactica is my standard for the perfect TV show/drama. I’m even comparing it to movies now…which is really odd. You can do 4-5 years of a perfect show and still not get 2 hours of movie right!? I DUN BELIEVE.

new website + stealing + House

1. I’m working on a new website…

http://www.warrenshea.com/

It’s currently being built in PHP, saving my ASP.NET for another site…might as well (finally) learn PHP…and frig, is that language ridonculously easy and intuitive. I’m also going to incorporate this blog’s content into that site…and actually get rid of my blogspot eventually but that will be in time. I’ve got wordpress on my new site which uses PHP so it works well with my site already…which is sweet….and perfect…and planned.

This means I’ve got a new addiction that’s usurping blogging…working on my new website. At least that is more productive for me. It’ll mean I’ll probably blog less.

2. Stealing

I’ve never smoked. I’ve never done any drugs. I don’t jaywalk when I’m alone. I’m a fairly law abiding citizen…with the exception of my speeding while driving. Recently, I’ve begun stealing. Cutlery. From restaurants I dine at. Now, I’ve only done it twice…but I do so enjoy it.

First, it was at a sushi place called Ginza, this was 4 months ago…I took some nice chopsticks (see below).

And today, I was at the Keg…and I took these…forks. They’re so cute!

3. House

I watched the season finale of episode 4…and it was awesome. I was speechless for minutes after watching it. I had tears in my eyes…it was so sad. For me, a show that can cause these types of emotions means that it’s a good show. That it’s doing its job. There aren’t many shows that can do that to me. The only other one coming to mind is Battlestar Galactica. Anyways…just wanted to write about that. I’m on S05E18…hoping to be caught up on House by tomorrow. This means watching about an entire seasons worth in 1 day. It’s doable. I have no life.

Welcome to Earth Prime

POSSIBLE JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS SPOILER. Not really part of the plot, more the philosophy behind the premise?

“With the coming of man came the illusion of free will and with that illusion came chaos. With every choice we make we literally create a world. History branches in 2 creating 1 Earth where we made the choice and a second one where we didn’t. That’s the secret to the universe you know. Billions of people making billions of choices creating infinite Earths.” – Owlman, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

When I listened to this, all I could think about was the conference tool we’re building.

Will you attend this event? – Yes? No?
Would you like to stay in a Hotel? – Yes? No?
Do you require a smoking room? – Yes? No?

ABSOLUTE CHAOS. AND WE HAVE TO BUILD IT. WE ARE THE ARCHITECTS OF CHAOS. WE ARE GODS. in our own little way.

Sorry, you’re probably disappointed in this post :S
*I* found it interesting but I guess you had to be here, in my head :/
