Media thoughts.
Not much worth jotting down save opinions of recent media things.
First off... "Transformers 2". It was... ugh. I prefered the first movie. It had less effects, explosions and robots, but it was just a better put together movie. I should rewatch it just to be sure, I guess.
There are just so many things to complain about and the good things were basically explosions and fancy machines and being able to see giant robots. Everything else was either subpar or just bad. The humping dogs, the one liners that weren't even said at good times (One liners will never be good things, but they can be fun if done right.), the fact that they added more and more expensive special effects but there wasn't even a reason for them to do so since individualism is much more important when you are doing BIG SCARY MONSTER. Freaking hell. If you make a ton of big scary monsters and you have them being blown up 24/7 they are no longer big scary monsters... they instead become big expensive waste of time.
*sigh*
And don't even get me started on the subject from the basis of being a fan of the franchise. That was a heartache of awesomeness (Soundwave as a satelite! That's genius! Ravage with 80's sound effects! Ha!) and total suckage (Megatron is a willing lackey?! What the f*%&?! Devastator can't even stand up?!). I was going into the movie having heard that it was less than great, but I was even more disappointed in the end since what I saw here showed that even if there is a third film... even if they do something with Unicron... it will suck. Sad days.
The other thing I've been playing with is the PSP game "Prinny: Can I Be The Hero?". It is... well... hard. But I absolutely love it. But it is freaking hard. I would also like to be able to save while in a level. One of those "save for later/delete on loading" type of saves. There is no excuse for handheld games to not have such options.
Hmmm... oh, I have to mention Michael Jackson. Namely that everyone is talking about his music and whatnot. On the drive home yesterday I doubled my knowledge of his music. I honestly only knew four of his songs and perhaps 3-4 Jackson 5 songs. Ha. I just find my lack of pop culture knowledge to be entertaining... after I just talked about so much geek culture. Ha.
