A friend of mine recently gifted me with this nifty little book and I've pretty much worked my way through all of it at this point. So yes, I'm ready to begin my career as a crime fighter ( Read more... )

Y'know, I was gonna do long, actual reviews of the movies I've seen lately, but, they're summer time blockbusters and they're not really illiciting any deep feelings one way or another, so I'll just say ( Read more... )

Of course, I was going into X-3 with very low expectations. Most of the geeky sites I go to didn't give it a very good review, and the sneak peak I'd read of the script ages ago didn't leave me feeling like these people had any idea of what the hell they were doing.

Let's just get this out of the way right now... I was supposed to leave for Florida on Thursday of this week. Mike and my brother were supposed to be leaving today (as they were driving down). I mention this only because I'm going to be cranky all this week and thought it would at least be polite to mention why ( Read more... )
