Stiz-olen!
Alrighty, Sin City was friggin awesome! Marv is teh man! Our trip friday to go see it was cut short by an accident near the WW bridge. So me and Corinne went to go see it with our buds tom and gary sunday. I can not stress enough how great the movie was probably due to the fact that the WRITER OF THE ACTUAL COMIC (hint to all other comic book film makers) helped direct it. I mean, the dude made the world, the characters, everything! He knows how they are supposed to look and act. Sheer genius, just sheer genius.
Wrestlemania 21 was pretty good. Taker schooled Orton which is the one match I wanted to see aside from rey mysterio vs eddie gurrero and the ladder match, both of which we missed due to khalid not getting out of work on time. But its all good cuz my uncle tapes it on vhs AND dvd. So we will get a copy and watch those matches later. The females match should not have been on at ALL! Christy Hemme.....chosen because she looks good(?) and the fact that she would pose for playboy, definately NOT for her lack of wrestling ability. (Whats with the closed fist stiff arm stance?) Kurt Angle vs HBK match went on WAY too long. Too many false finishers, and Hbk took too long to tap out, even if he was saving face. The JBL John Cena match on the other hand was too SHORT! I mean all this hype for those two: a common street thug taking on mr wall street, and the match is over in like 5 minutes! (For those who do not watch wrestling, a typical heavyweight title match on a pay per view averages 30 minutes) Aside from that it was a good show. My main point being Taker being the man and whooping up on Orton was great! (how about that "floating" enterance, friggin sweet!) Now for the stolen part of the post
a. Post a list of 15 fandoms.
b. Have your friends list guess your favourite character from each one.
c. When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.
Hmm let's see if I can find 15 things....
1. Naruto - Shikamaru: A genius who does not go around gloating about it. I love his strategy and how he is always 10 moves ahead of everyone.
2. Resident Evil - Leon S Kennedy: The man dove head first into the whole T-virus incident on his first day of the police force and helped take it down with Claire. Now correct me if I am wrong but "Survived the raccoon city incident" must look pretty good on any resume. Probably why he got promoted to high level secret service...
3. Samurai Champloo - Jin: Always calm and collected. Its one of the things I try to live by, knowing full well most other people will panic and freak out. I try to never lose my cool.
4. Trigun - Vash: I saw a lot of myself in Vash, especially at the time I watched Trigun. He is the character I most identify with.
5. Star Wars - This is kind of a tie... Darth Maul showed he was the man by taking on two jedis simultaneously by himself. This was unheard of before this happened. (I havent read any of the novels) The other is R2-D2. It's just a lil jack of all trades droid with a smartass sense of humor, my kinda droid.
6. Marvel - Wolverine: His take no shit from anyone attitude with the ability to back it up is definately something I would love to have. He's pretty much the opposite of me.
7. DC - Batman: The man who is a superhero without being super. Batman has been the cause of the death of the JLA and the monopolizing of the gang scene in Gotham because of all of his contingency plans. Both of which he did not put into effect, but still....it worked!
8. Nintendo - Link: This would just be perfect. Grab sword, get on horse, kill shit, get the girl. It's that simple.
9. FF11 Job - Dragoon: I like dragons ^_^ Yeah I know its simple....
10.Street Fighter - Ken: A man who can whoop some ass and still have fun while doing it. I always try to make the best of any situation.....except for driving in places where I dont know where I am and/or dont know where I am going....*see also: venture thru downtown dc at night while heading for Katsu*
11.Tekken - Howarang: Another simple one. He fights using Taekwondo. That's my stlye that I dedicated to and got my black belt in so I figured he would be a good character to use.
12.Battle Royale - Sugimura: This kind of combines a couple of previous ones. He's got skill and doesnt boast about it and always seems to keep his cool no matter what. Once again, things I try to do myself.
13.Ruroni Kenshin - Saitou: The man had his issues straight....cept for he went for shishio's head....but we can look past that.
14.EVA - Asuka Langley: Fighting the generic EVA units...nuff said. Who doesnt love a girl that can whoop some ass?
15.Simpsons - Comic Book Guy: No one had guessed this but I figured I would put it in anyway cuz this was a trick question. I just love the pure geekiness of him. I mean he tried to package Lucy Lawless as a life size Xena figure!!! LOL XD
There we have it! ^_^ Good luck all!
EDIT: I should have disqualified Khalid from this....seeing as he is my roomate and all...... >_< oh well...
