back in iowa, 2046

I’m back in Iowa. Didn’t get to see everyone I wanted too in greenville but got spend some good time with my brother which was nice. Ate lots of good food, and saw some good things.


Got home and watched
2046 which i have to take back tommorow. Pretty film, with great perfomances by Tony Lueng and Zhang Zhiyi, and really atmospheric direction by Wong Kar Wai, but I’m not sure how much I liked the movie over the actual images. It’s really not amazing by any means, but for fans of wide angle shots, and beautiful cinema it’s worth it.

O.k. this should be back to more normal postings this week.

quick update from greenville, nc

Saw the Departed on friday. if you like Hong Kong action flicks you’ve got to see this. It’s everythings that’s great about those movies (minus bullet time-thank god) and is played by some of our best actors working today. Then went to see Ecu’s ice hockey team kill william and mary. Yes Ice hockey in greenville. Spent Saturday tailgating, and then watching East Carolina demolish Virginia. Pretty great weekend so far. Now I’m a little under the weather and am going to sit on the couch and watch the battlestar premiere from friday night.

Comic Impressions.

So no new comics for me this week so I thought I’d share some impressions I’ve got from some of the ones I read on my lunch break at work.

The current run on Uncanny X-men, is very talky but the whole shiar storyline reminds me a lot of the late eighties sci-fi wasteland x-men that I loved so much. remember Jim Lee X-men?

A graphic novel worth checking out is American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang. It’s unique in the fact that it’s a indy but visually reads like a cartoon. Good stuff.

Grant Morrison’s Batman run too me is just too hokey. Too 70’s batman. I miss the dark in the dark knight.


This is Hilarious. Robert Kirkman’s
Marvel Zombies is as good as it gets. It’s amazing what some zombie action can do for your storytelling ability. Galactus never saw the zombies coming that’s for sure.

O.k. i’m heading out to NC until tuesday, a trip I’ve had planned since January. It’s too bad I planned it so early because next week too of my very good friends are getting married. And I’m going to miss it. :< Anyway. I'll try to get online over the weekend. Enjoy Lost tonight!

burger king enters the gaming business?


1st off let me admit, I love the burger king mascot. He’s so creepy and just the right amount of odd that he does what every good mascot should do. Make you uneasy.
I havent set foot inside a Burger king in years. but that will change come Nov 19th as they are releasing three Xbox 360 games for just $ 4 each. I don’t have a 360 yet but come on three games starring the King for $4 each. sign me up.
The games are Pocket Bike Racer a take on Mario Kart, starring the king, and some meat and fries. On Bikes!
There’s also Big Bumpin, which is a bumper car game! A BUMPER CAR GAME?
And then what’s got to be the best one,
Sneak King

Yeah. you’ve seen the commercials where the King stalks people. Now you can play it. WOW.
I’m sure these games will be horrid, but come on people. Sneak KING. Your Mission to deliver Burger king food to hungry people. by sneaking up on them. Awesome.
