I was feeling a little off today, so I was thrilled to step into the Liberty Center and see that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was playing. Such a great movie, actually a bit of a Shadowrun movie, obviously without the tech but there are plenty of very biting bits of sarcasm in the dialog to make up for any shortcomings. If you haven't seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang but you like movies like Hudson Hawk, I'd definitely suggest it. Though, then again, I'd also suggest Old Boy to most people, I value my movie suggestion reputation greatly and I know my original showing of that to Kaos and Slawson was a flop but I stand by that movie!!!! Dammit...
I need a waterproof MP3 Player... I was in the waves the other day, at a beach called Sandies, which is a few miles past Diamond Head and only just past Coco Head (I know! Such cool names for such small 'mountains'), and I was thinking it would be so much fun to thrash around in the water to my favorite music. I doubt something like that exists... though if it does, I am going to buy it!
I started the second Jordan book a couple of days ago, The Great Hunt. I don't know if any of you have the memory of the first two books very fresh in mind anymore, but to me it seems that The Great Hunt is in a completely different league than The Eye of the World. I feel like there was an incredible amount of maturation for Jordan between those two books even though the mass edition releases of the books were less than a year apart. During the first book, I often felt that the plot and richness of the world are what pulled me through since his writing was so rough (telling rather than showing almost always) but it seems The Great Hunt is written by a much more talented Robert Jordan. Any thoughts?
