only a little late

A staple of my times these days.

i'd meant to post a review of my current read, the everlasting Dark Tower by Stephan king. However life had different ideas and i didn't fight them. Mostly because they involved a two dollar movie and a night out with my lovely Ruby. whats a guy to do?

It was exceptionally fun. We saw Avatar for 3.50 between us. (i loves cheap theatres.) It wasn't bad. It was pretty great. For a story about Alien struggle, it match Distract 9 in production. However, i'm not sure i'd purchase this movie for my collection in spite of the entertainment i provides. Mostly because it follows a very predictable pattern (the ending in particularly). But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Going in to Avatar, i expected it to be more preachy. (i don't know why, James Carmen has always be a favorite filmmaker of mine) Of course it wasn't. Although i felt some of the moral lessons were ambiguous. I'd go into details but i often spoil things when i do. Suffice to say, that a world of beings interconnected as Pandora, would not subscribe to the judo-christian idea that all things on the earth were created for the use of man. That said, i would encourage folks to see it (if any out there haven't yet) if just to witness the phenomenon. On the other hand, i stress the District 9, as disturbing as it is, is a good counter part to Avatar.
