All right. I finally have a Definitive Opinion™ on the ending. While I don't want to be like some people (*cough* CHUD.com *cough*) and say "THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT NOLAN INTENDED OMG EVERYONE ELSE IS WRONG" I do think that Nolan provided plenty of telltale details and clues that lend weight to this particular interpretation above the others. Let's ( Read more... )

Whenever I remind myself that I started this journal at age 15, I get a bit of vertigo. D ( Read more... )

Oh man, oh man. RED DEAD REDEMPTION. I... can't do much more than flail right now as I'm only a couple hours in (work + company over = can't waste away in front of the PS3, sadly) but as;dlkfjwaoek it is so KEYBOARD SMASHING awesome.

First of all: John Marston. Wait, wait. You mean it's a sandbox title with a developed main character? Who's, like ( Read more... )

Without fail, every time May arrives my morale improves +100. Though it might be only +75 this time around because of the extra-ridiculous allergy season that is assaulting my senses, but whatever. I saw Iron Man 2 last night and LOVED IT. Proof, once again, that big-budget crowd-pleasers don't have to make their audiences feel dumber when they ( Read more... )

If your answer is "HELL YES", let's all thank Ashley Eckstein (better known as the voice of Ahsoka in the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series) for doing something that should've been done a long time ago: ( Read more... )

Last night, we went out for Italian and I had some spectacular wine that made me sing along like a Dorkimus Maximus to Sonata Arctica in the car, occasionally turning to Luke and letting him know "this song is about WOLVES. WOLVES." So you know, whatever horrible ( Read more... )

Tomorrow morning, I'm leaving the white-sanded, dark-watered shores of California behind for some Kauai gold and turquoise. I'll be back on the 12th! Will be toting my MacBook overseas as a receptacle for the gazillion photos I plan to take, but don't plan on hopping online except to check up on weather reports - I will, however, do some tweeting ( Read more... )

So I expected to like the new Dredg album ( Read more... )

GLORIOUS. Luke and I are playing the multiplayer beta right now!!! It's a closed demo we got for pre-ordering inFamous and OH MY GOSH. COME QUICKLY, OCTOBER ( Read more... )

GUESS WHAT THE NEW MUSE ALBUM IS CALLED?

The Resistance.

OUR BOND IS MAGICAL.

Back in 2006, when my obsession with black holes/time dilemmas was at an all-time high, they named their album Black Holes and Revelations.

(By the way, every time I see "The Resistance" used in ANY context, I hear it in Morpheus's voice. Without fail.)
