But I'm Not Bitter...

Sin City is a dark, extremely stylized movie. Very noir with a modern twist.

Overall, I like this movie. It is very true to it's source material. However, after watching it again on DVD, I think Frank Miller has some issues that Freud would have had a field day with.

Adult Swim, Without A Paddle

As most of you know, I have a webcomic. A second one in the works too. I draw a lot of my inspiration from my many, many years of watching cartoons and reading comics. In fact, I still watch cartoons and read comics. However, I’m a lot more selective in my tastes now.

Over the next few weeks I thought I’d post on some of my favorite cartoons and (web)comics.

It’s funny to watch these new cartoons and know that the writers are my age—you can tell by the jokes they tell.

I watched “Without A Paddle” this weekend. It’s a very funny movie. Matthew Lillard did a good job—although I’ll always see him as Shaggy now. The depressing part is that this movie is about a group of guys my age. I’m now old enough to have the ‘letting go of childhood’ movies targeted at me.

[Sigh]

Sin City Trailer

I’d heard that they were doing a Sin City movie. I knew it had hottie Jessica Alba in it—I didn’t know that it had Texas native Robert Rodriguez (El Mariachi, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, et al) directing it. I watched the trailer and dang! It looks really cool. Have a look, I bet you’ll have the music from the trailer stuck in your head too.

I Change State, Therefore I Am

OK, so my brother sent me a link to ASIMO on the same day that I watched “I, Robot”. ASIMO made the movie seem a lot less fictional. I really could see house robots in thirty years. If they continue with the pace they’ve set over the last ten years, why not?

The movie was really good, by the way. It unfolded, had twists, and the action was tied to the plot— top shelf.
