Monty
and Morgion 059: Q*Book |
||
29Aug03 (Monthenor): I'm not gonna get
all smarmy like those Switch
characters, but damn if I'm not loving this cute little thing. I just wanted
to dash off a quick one-hour drawing to explain what happened...as usual, it
ballooned out of control. |

29Aug03 (Monthenor): Jeepers Creepers 2? Oh yeah, good
stuff. It goes for a different vibe from the first and succeeds where others
fail. Jeepers Creepers was old-school horror done right: characterization was
spot on, it didn't coddle the audience, and it didn't even attempt to explain
the why of this horror creature. Number two takes those ideas and runs
with them. The cast is much larger, but at no point did I think to myself "Boy,
that was out of character/had no basis". You see the Creeper lots more, but
all the surprise was in the first movie anyway. And I could find no fault in
the Creeper's tactics. If I was a centuries-old winged sentient killing machine,
I would play it exactly like in the movie. |

Time
to burn? Fark can help. Between the amusing news blurbs and Photoshop threads… like A Jeep, A Cat, and A Spatula… it's hours of unproductive fun. Especially when the comment counter reaches infinity. I don't know what Fark approximates as infinity, but whatever it is, you still have to read through them all. Here are some gems:
Unrelated to Fark, but still a good time: iWorkWithFools.com. Remember when I said the imbeciles at Morgan Creek didn't like the vision of the Exorcist prequel? Well, more than a rumor now. Exorcist: The Beginning was refused post-production funds; Director Paul Schrader was fired. "Because he didn't put enough blood, guts and vomit in the prequel". But that's OK. Underworld is almost hear, and Kate Beckinsale is indeed very British in the film. Why are you looking at me funny? What? What? I didn't do it. |
30Aug2003 (Monthenor): Something about my Apple order that I
may not have mentioned. My credit limit wasn't quite high enough to buy
the package, so Vixen let me use her airline-bonus card to pay. But now
that she's seen what an iPod can do, she jokingly(?) says that she may not
let me have it. Sorry to break it to you, Vixen, but Apple has just notified me
that my iPod has shipped via Airborne Express. So there's a very real
possibility that
neither of us will get it. |
