Been Awhile

I haven't updated this thing in forever, but you know...

Anyway, I saw three new movies this weekend. The Black Dahlia was Friday night, and it was amazing. Though there were some creepy lesbians and an uber-creepy implied threesome, but it was still great. There was major pathos for Josh Hartnett's character, I think his name was Dwight. There were a lot of good people in the movie, but he was the only one that was truly good. He was honest and all that crap, whereas everyone else was lying about something.

Then there was the Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo and Fullmetal Alchemist: Conqueror of Shamballa(sp?). TT was really funny, and it tied in the end of the series way better then the last episode did, or so I hear. Apparently Terra the Whore ruined the last episode. I have mixed feelings for FMA. It was a great movie, but if it truly is the end of the series then I'm not happy in the least. It was bittersweet, and I felt horrible for Winry at the end.

Xanatos: But you're also hyper-critical of movies.

Me: I am NOT.

Xanatos: You are when it affects characters that you love.

Me: But I can always find good things mixed in with the bad. Observe, my view of the FMA movie:

POSSIBLE SPOILER.
Al made a point of telling Ed that he's not the only one who misses him, that Winry misses him too, but she STILL ends up alone. I'm not much of a Winry/Ed shipper, but it was completely obvious that she was in love with him.
Ignoring that, I loved the way they ended Roy and the military group's story. Even though Roy was no longer their commanding officer, when he walked up and starting giving orders it was all:

Havoc: What? Roy's talking? Let's all fall to our knees and perk up our ears like puppy dogs!
Farman: Yeah, and then, then we can lick his feet!

It was pretty funny. And once again, there was implied Riza/Roy.
There were some disturbing sequences though, like when Gluttony pretty much bit Wrath in half. I was cringing through that. And I nearly threw a fit when Envy killed Hoenheim(sp?). But overall the movie was pretty spifftastic.

Well, it you lasted until here congratulations. I think that's really all I have to say. I'm not even going to bother to proofread this I don't think.
