Howdy all, just thought I would just put some ideas to 'net.
I went to the movies yesterday (starting to get into the habit of it) and finally saw Pixar's new movie, WALL-E. While I absolutely loved the movie, and will probably see it again by the end of the week, that isn't the point of this rant. As always the previews are relative to the movie- since this one was rated G, you had a lot of the kiddie pics. Whatever. Of the first notable ones is from Disney, which has apparently taken some advice from Pixar and has developed a decent 3D picture with an interesting plot- Bolt. Cool little story about this dog who plays a superhero on a show and goes out to rescue his kidnapped owner or something. All the same, decent idea and some pretty funny parts.
Next up was the new movie coming from Dreamworks. Ugh. Madagascar 2, which to suffice it to say I won't be going to see. Compared to the other two their animation sucks, and the plot is horrible and tripe. Bad visual images.
All the same, it was interesting to look at these three pieces and just realize how much of a difference in quality there is between the three. You would figure that the other two might take a lesson from Pixar, and to a certain degree at least one of them is.
But I'll stop here while I am still somewhat making sense.
All is well on the Eastern front, nothing crazy going on. Getting my car worked on at some point during the week once my boss does an errand for me.
