Is there an iPhone in my future? Plus Movie Reviews!
I really like the iPod Touch. I've wanted one since the first hit the market, but held off up until a couple of weeks ago, when I thought I had lost my friend's sister's Nano that I've been using this year (which I later found in my pants pocket in the laundry). I bought it with the idea that, if I really did like the device, I would return it and get an iPhone 4 once my cell contract expires this September.
Supposedly, it has a really nice screen, though my left-handedness might interfere with you know, calls.
Interestingly, I find the iPod (or smart devices in general) much better e-social devices than the computer. Where have I been all this time? I'm on MSN, Facebook, Twitter, and all these social tools much more, and reading what other people update. But I really do need a camera and internet connectivity - hence iPhone upgrading... They better be readily available in 2 months.
Or maybe I'll find some other smart phone between now and then.
Movie Nights, Zip.Ca, and wonderful Pixar releases have allowed me to see a whole whack of movies lately. Here are a bunch of one-line reviews:
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past: The ghosts weren't even girlfriends, and the end was perhaps the biggest disappointment since the third Matrix Movie.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: An intriguing hook, surrounded by wonderful makeup, effects, storytelling, and art direction, that just didn't resonate with me like it probably wanted to.
The Tale of Despereaux: A brilliant trailer for a terribly thought out movie that could have been sooo much better.
Watchmen: I couldn't even sit through the first hour.
First Daughter: You shouldn't have a romantic comedy with two characters that have zero chemistry.
Casablanca: I'm sure it was worth all the praise 65 years ago, but for a movie with great one-liners still used today, I had a hard time following the characters and what was really going on.
Hannah Montana Movie: While surprisingly better than I expected, it was wholeheartedly unrealistic.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: An enjoyable movie that I probably should have seen in 3D (but the monkey voice translator pales compared to Dug's collar).
Yes Man: A fair rental that made me want to say "yes" to the next 20 things that came my way, but otherwise a forgettable Jim Carrey Movie.
Zack and Miri: So many plot holes in a movie that falls in the middle of my ranked Kevin Smith movies! Kevin Smith does this on purpose and it kinda annoys me.
Toy Story 3: Pixar impressively integrates tons of new characters into a 15-year old franchise and caps what will no doubt top (or at least rank high) in best trilogies lists to come. SO AMAZING.
Now, here's an assortment of photos I've taken with my ageing cell phone over the last year (haha, yes. year. I hardly ever download pics from it... even more reason for an iPhone?):
