GoodBye Galactica

I just wanted to do a short post today.
I don't think I have done any blogs really talking about Battlestar Galactica but for the past 4 years it has been a series very close to my heart. I am really sad that it's gone.
I don't know if there is really anything else I want to say aside from that.
Just wanted to say goodbye to the old girl.

Dennis De Los Muerto...Fat Head?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THE WATCHMEN MOVIE!!!!!

HOLY SHIT FUCK COCK BITCH TITS ASS!!!
That is just a fraction of how angry I am after going to the midnight showing of Watchmen at my local AMC movie theatre.
Trust me when I say that if you have any love for the comic do not waste your money it is just not worth the agrivation.
I went into this movie with a really REALLLLLY open mind. I read and loved the comic and I really didn't think that a movie could be made from it, but I was still hopeful. The bottom line is that the story is just to intricate. And yeah I knew a lot had to be cut if it was going to be made into a movie, but fuck me running was this a botched abortion.
Seriously guys I know how movies work, I know certain things have to be sacrificed but from the cheesy overused, Matrixesque fight scenes, to the terribly forced even goofy music cues, I just can't think of very many things that are in any way redeemable about this movie.
Watchmen, the comic, creates a bleak, realistic but at the same time fantastic world that has dignity and depth.
Watchmen, the movie,takes any and all integrity and smashes it to pieces.
The frail and increadibly human characters of the book are turned into shells, almost parodies of themselves.
Like any beloved and widely known story like this, when a filmmaker takes it and turns it into a big budget blockbuster he feels the need to acknowledge the fans by giving little hints and references to the origonal work. Unfortunatly, these references seemed to be thrown into the film haphazerdly making them more frustrating than anything else. And to be perfectly honest I think movie goers who haven't read the book are going to be thrown off by a lot of these references.
Some of the most important elements were changed, rearranged, completely left out, or otherwise tainted.
FUCK I AM SO ANGRY!!!
I love that comic. Though I admit I am a newcomer to it, having only read it recently, I still really love it.
This movie not only did the story a disservice, but certain parts were actually painful to watch.
Zach Snyder, the director responsible, said in interviews preceeding the release that the films creators "treated the comic book like it was some sort of an illuminated text".

Illuminated text my ass.

Hey Guys Remember Me?

So blah blah blah usual excuses and all the stuff I always say and repeat...lets take that all as read.
I don't have anything really new or interesting to talk about today, I just do honestly feel bad that I haven't posted anything in a really really REALLY long time.
One new thing I guess is that I have totally fallen in love with Coraline. Book, movie, action figure, whatever...with one exception which is the game for DS. I tired it today and if you are older than 10 I wouldn't recomend it. But the movie gets 2 thumbs way up. But I think I will try to do a complete blog on that topic even though I know that is anotherone I probably will never get around to...but that's too damn bad!
I have been loving my DS which is the first game system I have owned in a really long time. I've been into these mystery puzzle games, like MillionHeir and Mystery P.I. Problem solving, lots of mini games, I likes.
Other things on my geek-plate at the moment...
Going to see Watchmen on Friday. I am not getting my hopes up at all because I really do not think that comic can be made into a movie, but I am trying to keep an open mind.
We'll have to wait and see I suppose.
So ok I've run out of steam for the moment, but I promise with all my heart I will be back soon for another short post.

Just letting you guys know I am throwing out all previous other ideas, trying not to put myself under too much pressure for the quote of the week or any of that other stuff, I'm just playing it by ear at this point guys.
Just doin' my thang.
