So...very.......tired.......

I was going to do a little ranting, and I will, in a minute. I just noticed my previous entry, and as it turns out, we did discuss things...very briefly. And it appears as though we aren't even "still friends" in the bad way, let alone the good way. Why that is, I have absolutely no friggin' clue. I was really upset at the beginning of the week, but I've been getting progressively better, and I've been less and less angry. But I'm not going to bog you all down with my personal problems here. If any of you care enough, and are crazy enough, to be bothered with my personal problems, you can contact me.


Now on to something a tad more light-hearted...

So I've seen the first few episodes of Teen Titans on Cartoon Network. And frankly, I'm disappointed. I was expecting another Justice League. As it turns out, they've gone a more anime-style route, and to me, it's too anime, and it's almost painful to watch. Plus we haven't gotten an origin story yet, so accepting the fact that there's 5 teenagers living by themselves in their own tower is a little difficult to swallow. In addition to that, I'm sure we'll get our share of stories that take a more personal look, in the sense of "being a superhero is easy...being a teenager is hard!" (and I'm pretty sure that was used in some of the marketing!) So, sorry guys, thumbs down from me. Ah well, now if I can only catch some Justice League episodes, then I'd be happier...

I wanted to discuss a couple things that bugged me about the Pirates of the Carribean movie. I may include some SPOILERS here, so if you haven't seen it (and shame on you if you haven't already!), and don't care to know what goes on, may as well move on.

First thing, a quick one - I noticed that after several days out at sea, and on various islands and caves, with no stays at home in a nice bath or anything, that Keira Knightley (Schwing!) maintained an awfully high level of cleanliness. As in, makeup was perfect and everything. And, to a lesser extent, Orlando Bloom was too.

Then there's the whole turning-into-a-zombie thing. It bugged me that you just kinda pick up the gold, and poof, you turn into a zombie. I just think it would've added a little more weight if they were dead for a long time - granted, you could've died within a few months of starvation, but 10 years seemed like a short amount of time for a cursed pirate ship to be sailing around. Then it just turns off again...you'd think after being clinically dead for 10 years, they'd just...disintegrate or something once the curse was lifted. I don't know...it's a little thing that irked me, but the more I think about it, the more it kinda makes sense...then I think, "Well, they have to do it that way, or the story doesn't work." Then I think, "So what? I enjoyed the movie, sometimes you have to forget things like that!" This is a Bruckheimer production, folks...the amount of entertainment is inversely proportional to the amount of thinking you apply to the movie.

So I guess that's all for now...be on the lookout for a very special comic coming up in a couple weeks. In the meantime, Share and Enjoy!
