All along the watch tower~
"Watchtower" by Hendrix or Bob Dylan...i couldnt work it out...



so i went to see "Watchmen" yesterday. it was a really good movie, though i hear its really close to the book so if you read the book, you aint gonna be very suprised (in fact, you may even be disappointed) by the movie. i havent read the book, only bits of it, so i was therefore utterly enthralled by the movie.

at a bladder-busting 2 hours and 40 minutes (pee before you go in), its a tad long, but if you like superhero movies, this one will blow your mind.

i dont really wanna spoil it, and its too complicated to explain without giving too much away.
the characters are deep and complex, and the final outcome is twisted and leaves you wondering if it was right or not. again, i can't delve too deep without spoiling the plot, but you do end up wondering if that the end solution was indeed heroic, despite appearances.

my favourite character is Rorschach who, despite being a sociopath, is a pretty cool character. i think his mask is pretty awesome, and my favourite line in the movie comes after he's been arrested and thrown in jail. he's in line to get lunch and he's surrounded by all these guys who he's put in jail himself. one prisoner tries to attack Rorschach with a knife, but Rorschach breaks the prisoners hand with a metal lunch tray and then grabs a pan full of boiling oil and dumps it on his head.
As Rorschach is apprehended by the guards and dragged away, he screams at the prisoners

"You people don't understand. I'm not locked in here with you! you're locked in here with me!"


awesome. love the movie. the other characters are pretty cool too, and the i really like the dark sense of humour that the story has. the fight scenes are fantastic, and some scenes are brutal. the music is good, lots of 80's classics.

go see. its a good movie. unless you've read the book. then its probably just a condensed version.



other then that, not much happening with me. i had all weekend off, then i worked on monday and had yesterday and today off...which means im probably gonna work through till next wednesday or something stupid. bleah.

currently working on a project of my own. its taking me a while, but i should have the first parts up within a week or two.


so...uhm...


more Gundam piccies!!

the green swirls are a nice effect
its an interesting design

StarGazer Gundam...probably the first ever Gundam not designed as a weapon (although it was still used as one). I really like this Gundam, even though the ONA (Original Net Animation) wasn't that great. the SD kit is a great kit too.

my first fav gundam

SD Deathscythe! despite it being one of my fav Gundams from Wing, i've never really liked the model kits that were produced for it...

its a pretty good kit...the missle hatches open and everything!

SD Heavyarms!

i was disappointed that they didnt include a gimmick to open the engines

SD Tallgeese...one of my favourite non-Gundam mobile suits.



thats all for today...but no worries...i got plenty more where that came from!!! ha ha ha!!

till next time folks!


Dan Dreiberg: [referring to the exit tunnel] There's a maintenance hatch that will let you out two blocks north.

Rorschach: I remember. I used to come here often back when we were partners.

Dan Dreiberg: Just like the good old days. Hey whatever happened to them?

Rorschach: [as he walks down the tunnel] You quit.
