LOTR return of the king of taking liberties with already perfect material

I saw LotR: Return of the King the other day, and, well, I guess it was what I expected. Jackson only gives a damn about battles and won't give 2 sh*ts about anything else, and it's kinda evident. The Sam/Frodo storyline has no flow whatsoever and it seems that Jackson just threw in key parts of their travels so fans wouldn't be pissed off. The acting on Elijah Wood's part can only be described as ATROCIOUS, as he again displays the emotional range of a depressed iguana. Viggo Mortensen displays his nonexistent commanding voice, which actually made me laugh. The man is so uncharismatic it hurts. Same goes for Faramir. What bastard cast these people? Saruman is thrown out of the film entirely, as is about 75% of the aftermath following Sauron's defeat. Jackson I understand "didn't like the ending" and I guess since he IS a better writer than Tolkien (god I hate Jackson) he decided to do it the way he though it should have been. Anyway I know some people are gonna totally love the movie and swoon all over that fairy Aragorn but they should get a grip on themselves and realize that this movie should have never been made.

entering the big leagues

I decided to start posting my art at gfxartist. I hope I get good constructive criticism. If so I'll be really happy, cause Deviantart is being totally uncool. I have more than double the amount of visits HERE, for crying out loud.

   delay

Seems like my KOS-MOS pic is taking way longer than I had anticipated. Expect it done sometime by the end of next week.

Red! Your eyes are red! You're a very distant person, and you tend to hunger for power. In a Manga, you'd be the sexy evil villan. Nothing wrong with that, although you may want to think about toning down the killing. What Color Are Your Anime Eyes? brought to you by Quizilla Yay I'm a sexy villain!

   THE LAST SAMURAI

This movie was really good. A lot better than I expected. I read Shogun recently, and the movie is similar in many ways, although it isn't based on the book. Anyway, I liked the way they presented Japan, and they did a lot more things right than I had expected. I highly recommend it.

Time for an anime pic I think...

I just finished drawing a pic of Robin (from Batman) and I guess I'll move on to an anime pic. Once I finish it I'll move onto the requests I promised to fulfill.

   Kill Bill

I watched Kill Bill on its opening weekend. Was it alright? Eh. It was... alright. I enjoyed watching it, but when all is said and done, it's an extremely stupid movie with completely irrelevant flashbacks and a chronologically messed-up scene structure that destroys any flow the movie might have otherwise had. Why am I even bringing it up? Because it's nothing but Tarantino's homage to "the bottom-of-the-barrel bad anime" that I hate. By that I mean the ridiculously violent and bloody b.s. revenge plot action flick that goes nowhere. In the end that's what Kill Bill is. Uma Thurman kicking ass is really cool, though, so I am glad I watched it. But if you say it's a GOOD film, you're dead wrong.
