PG-rated war sequences . . . gotta love 'em . . .
So I've finally decided it's time to shift into Christmas mode. If I'm gonna pull off sending all my international correspondence before the 25th, I'd best do that now, methinks. So, I've got me fellow continenters mostly taken care of (a brother with high speed USB is a wonderful thing indeed). As for the oversea'ers, well, I'm workin' on that . . . after all, mail'll take a bit longer to get to you, won't it now? Eheh . . . all the while I'm neglecting my actual in-house family . . . heh, I suck.
So yeah, still just workin', just playin' games, just watchin' DVDs . . . just sad that a lot of DVDs are coming out in January instead of now, like the last "Otogi Zoshi", season 2 of "Lois & Clark" (SUCH a great show), and . . . I dunno, this and that. Still haven't seen "Harry Potter" and need to find a means to see it some time just because I'm kinda interested in seeing it . . . and yeah.
What I did get to see, though, was "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" last night, which made me quite happy. It's been ages since I've been anywhere remotely near the source material of any form, so I couldn't really say anything about its faithfulness as an adaptation. It seemed about right, from what I remember, anyway. But let's face it, that bit's not quite as important . . . we got four children who REALLY fit their roles, the British banter and dry wit shines really well . . . the swords were schweeeeet . . . . . which brings me to my next point. For a PG Disney film that depicts two huge armies smashing each other, there's no blood, no gore, and tons of cut-away style violence. And, y'know, when you realise they can't show certain bits in a children's movie, you really appreciate just how far they try to push it. Hehe . . . to sum up the quality of the violence, I'll just say . . . "Point-of-view face chomp."
It was really good, and I liked it. There was something about it that sorta fell hollow in me, though. Kinda like, but didn't bowl me over with geeky gushiness. Either way, effects are great, Aslan looks freakin' awesome with his glorious CG mane . . . . . ah, ya know you're gonna see it eventually, might as well check it out some time. I mean, Lucy is reeeeally really cute in it . . .
Okay, work day today. Better go rinse my uniform now. Have a good one!
Random SomeGuy Trivia: The first "Serious" computer game I ever truly played was "King's Quest 4". Unfortunately I never really played it from beginning to end, and rather skipped back and forth in the slew of saved games already on the machine (the computer was a total hand-me-down from like, my mom's boss' son of the time). It was neat, though . . . was no good for a 8-9 year old kid, but it was neat.
