Fourth of July and Hellboy 2

Go see Hellboy 2, it is much better than the first one.  I did like the first one, but mostly because I like Hellboy’s character.  Hellboy 2 is sitting at an 88% right now on Rottentomatoes.

Here’s some fireworks for you:

39 Seconds of Saturday, and Other Stuff

Wall-E is highly recommended.  The story is simpler than the Incredibles, but I’d say I enjoyed the movie just as much.  It is amazing how much character they can put into something that barely speaks.  As usual the CG was a step up.  I look forward to Pixar’s next.

Wanted was odd.  I think I can only sum it up as well executed, but ridiculous.  It’s getting hard to like action movies these days.  -Spoiler- During the final rampage the main character shoots someone in the eye with a magnum, stabs the gun into his head, and then carries the body as a shield while still shooting through it.  I just don’t feel like the target audience anymore.  Am I supposed to watch that and go “Oh OHHH.  THAT WAS SO BADASS I WISH I COULD DO THAT.”? -End Spoiler-

Killer Shrimp was very tasty.  It is a shame that the Marina Del Rey location is closing.  There are others though and if one is near you I’d recommend giving it a try.

And lastly, big band in Chinatown:

Branching Out

So I’ve been trying to branch out a bit.

Last weekend I went to a techno dance club.  Never done that before.

Yesterday at dinner I left the pickles on my burger.  I still don’t like pickles that much, but I have to say it does change the taste of the burger a whole lot.  It wasn’t unpleasant.

I am a new man.

Lecture Time

This was very well done.  From Kotaku.

Alice

This smooth electronic remix of clips from Alice in Wonderland is really awesome.  You can get the free mp3 here.

This is what I picture myself as whenever I start talking to a random girl.
