Mecha Gone Quirky

"Eeee-vaaa?" For a sentient robot, he's quite retarded if you think about it

When I hear the word "robot", my mind flashes to the arsenal-heavy Gundams and Power Rangers. Any other interpretation would be seriously wrong in my head. For some odd reason, I accepted an invitation to go watch Wall-E. We've all been pestered incessantly by those dumb-ass "try-to-be-cute" commercials that Disney keeps bombarding us with. Felt like some idiot kept giving me disgusting pictures of lalamuis posing with their infamous signs. With people like this, I wonder why gun regulation in M'sia shouldn't be lighter. I would love to unload a clip or two, just in the kneecaps. Nothing fatal. I'm kind, what can I say?

*grin*

Anyways, I've careened off the cliff again. Wall-E is a character that I've seen one too many times, pre-programmed robot gaining sentience and feelings. A tried and tested formula in many fields of fiction, to be really honest, but Pixar took him on another old path and succeeded by amazing us with incredibly spectacular computer graphics, a sad but humorous future of humans, a watered down enviromental message and a script that only a mediocre comedy writer with a knack for trading his skills for a nice stash of pot could write.

Wall-E is pretty much a non-stop action-adventure-romantic comedy that keeps the laughs and oohs and ahhs coming. You're pretty much giggling, oogling the amazing graphics or on the edge of your seat most of the time for this movie.

Ol' Spiky's Rating: 3.7/5 - I don't know what's up with the 0.7, I just thought a 4 was too much and 3.5 too little.

Bottomline is that it's a movie you bring your kids to, your pre-pubescent siblings and your girlfriend which you still wonder how she got through high school while thinking that Santa will come through her chimney next Christmas. I don't know about you, but I was in it for the graphics. Wall-E is one hell of a horny bastard if you ask me.

*wink*

Don't think too much about it. Either download it to pass time or spend some money and enjoy with someone else. Peace out y'all.

Tying Up Loose Ends

Let’s just say that a lot of weight can be removed from your shoulders if you confront your past, be it glorious or not. I guess that when they say time can heal wounds, there’s some truth in those lines. 2 years and finally I get it done with. I wonder why I never thought about this earlier. If it were a year ago or 6 months back I’d probably have drown out my problems with some other foreign substance just to evade the pain.

I guess that’s how alcoholics and potheads come along. *shrug*

Although I could’ve done more and said more, I’m pretty happy with the way things are. Like I always say, there’s a time and place for everything and I think that it’s not the time yet nor the place. Let’s see what happens after we’re done with our obligations. Although it’s only realistic to think that nothing will happen and everyone will move along quietly with the flow.

Bah, gag me already. Peace out y’all.

Post Summer Flicks

Well, the last best one has already passed us all and I can’t freakin’ believe that some people have not watched Dark Knight yet. Yes, wipe that incredulous look off your face. There are such people. I pity them. Anyways, movies are movies and they all stand a fair chance at being entertaining and groundbreaking. Unfortunately, no such luck for these two movies

Chink In Bandages

A yellow mummy... What next, a white pontianak?

I thought mummies were reserved for the Egyptian undead only. The other undead guys should be just called zombies. I thought that was the rule. Ah well. Anyways, this movie is horrible. Casting was way off. Chinese girl was cute, probably the only thing that kept the movie entertaining. Heh heh heh…

Ol’ Spiky’s Rating: 1/5 – Effects, been there, done that. Chinese mummy? Right.

Midnight Cock Meat Sandwich Train

In case you were wondering, it's Vinnie Jones. You can't take him seriously after Eurotrip.

I have not seen the trailer. I have not pondered at the poster. I just know Clive Barker’s name was on it, and after what I saw on Undying, I thought this would be tight. But damn it was full of shit. First thing you would notice is that the movie has not been censored like regular gore flicks. You’ll see decapitations in full Technicolor and free-flowing blood. You will see hands wandering to naughty places and it doesn’t happen in the corner of the screen. The most disturbing scene in the movie’s probably the part when the guy cries when his fiancé is stripping for him. And I don’t mean the “THIS IS IT!” kind of crying. It’s just fucked up.

Ol’ Spiky’s Rating: 1/5 – Just because they didn’t censor the good parts.

Clone Wars and The Day The World Stood Still is on it’s way and hopefully they will deliver. Zohan is another idiotic Sandler movie so I’ll probably download it. Peace out y’all.
