I saw this on Friday, in 3D mind you.  I had heard a lot of good about it but I still had no real expectations.

I can honestly say that this movie will change the way that movies are made in the future.  James Cameron has some weird ability with special effects to make your jaw drop and never realize you’re watching CG.  He is everything that George Lucas was.

I highly encourage everyone to see this movie, either in IMAX or in 3D.  The story might be simple and straightforward but that’s the point.  It’s the planet of Pandora, in all its intricacies that’s the real star.  My mind is blown.

Cullen Runs for Mayor

CBC Report

I rarely post things of this nature but I wanted to link to it for 2 reasons.  First, my opinions of Cullen are at best expletive (Doucet and Munter are right in the same bag) and second, look at the comments section on this article.  Now, I’m not saying that the CBC commenters are an accurate slice of the Ottawa populace but holy shart, 99% of all comments are negative against the guy.

The good news is that you have to give up your councilor seat to run as mayor.  This is exactly why everyone was happy Munter ran in the last elections as he’s now gone from our landscape.

Suffice it to say, this is simply political suicide.  Which to be honest, does not surprise me one bit with Cullen.

Monday Musings

Mondays, happy mondays.

– Finished Assassin’s Creed 2.  Why you ask?  Mental diseases where I have to I suppose.  The game gets better but is still not worth the hassle.  Money is useless after the 2nd bank upgrade.  Weapons are all the same.  Catacombs make you want to throw your controller at the wall with bad response times. Combat consists solely of counter kills.  Oh, and Leonardo’s flying contraption?  Garbage.  What does improve then?  Well the story gets a lot better if not more ridiculous.  How does an assassin trust someone who he’s met for the first time and then murder 100s for him?  Putting that aside, it has a nice sci-fi twist that is going to link DIRECTLY into 2012, which is when Assassin’s Creed 3 will come out, I swear to you.  Movement on houses gets miles better in Venice.  Why?  Well for one, there are a hell of a lot less holes on the rooftops.  Second, climbing towers doesn’t take 45 minutes (Tuscany I am looking at you).  Third, and most importantly, there’s water.  Falling from a roof or tower (it happens a lot) doesn’t hurt you in the water.  Yay.  Rent it if you want but I would not recommend buying it.

– Don’t go shopping

– If you like talking about your neighbor’s yard, you should talk to your neighbor to see how he feels about it.  You’d be surprised I’m sure.

– I think the universal gift is sleep.  Everyone needs more.

Sarah Palin Book Signing

Surprisingly not offensive.  On the flipside, ignorance is part neutral.  Obama-ites had the exact same reactions at his signings.

They have valid points, social responsibility, government distancing, etc… but have absolutely no idea of scope and application.  It would take years to explain the core problems in the US to the majority of Americans, which is sad.  Though from a good side you can clearly see that the people standing in line are not in any way shape or form the same age group of people that follow Obama.  I really wonder where the Republican youth movement stands.
