A Quick One

I’m about to leave for dinner and a movie with the family, so this will be quick.

I feel like redesigning Photocurious. Do you guys have any suggestions pertaining to the color scheme, or arrangement, etc? I just don’t like the current design, but I have no idea how to go about redesigning it. It’s a little frustrating, really.

Anyways, I’m off to see Night at the Museum 2 with my family – I hope it’s good, because it’s what my dad wants to see, and I already got my way when I insisted that I wanted to see Star Trek for a second time. Oh well, it beats looking at discount lingerie. I’ll try to blog about the movie soon.

Also, I think it’s finally time to start working on the Extra section, so suggestions are appreciated. If inspiration doesn’t strike, I’ll probably just scrap that section.

Star Trek

I finally saw Star Trek a couple of days ago. My friend Jem and a couple of others went to see it this past Thursday. I think we were four of the fifteen people in the theater.

At first, I was rather skeptical, especially about the casting since I found out that Chris Pine had been given the role of Captain Kirk. In this generation where movie remakes usually suck, I really wasn’t expecting much.

It was okay. Although I have to admit the most convincing character in the movie was Spock. Zachary Quinto was a good Spock – probably because he was able to work alongside Leonard Nimoy. I had a bit of a problem with Hikaru Sulu because I kept thinking of Harold & Kumar whenever I saw John Cho on screen. Chris Pine was an okay Kirk – I’m happy he didn’t imitate William Shatner’s speech pattern (the frequent pauses).

Overall, I was happy with the film. The script was pretty good. There were a lot of funny parts, and it was decent for a movie remake. The film isn’t bad, but it isn’t spectacular either. I’m not sure if the hardcore purist Trekkies would appreciate it, though. :D

Now I’m going to see if any of these area rugs catch my fancy.

Bolt

Bolt I finally went to see Bolt with Lyndon yesterday. I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about it, although I did not know anything about the movie.

To be honest, I was actually rather skeptical, because Miley Cyrus is part of the cast. But it was actually rather nice. It was very funny, very entertaining, I didn’t get bored at all.

The graphics were pretty good, the dialogue was good enough, and the dubbing was okay. Fortunately, there weren’t much scenes which included Miley Cyrus’ voice (because I honestly can’t stand her voice), so I was kept happy all throughout the film. Haha.

Overall, it was impressive.

I was really tired when I got home, though. We watched the movie at Gateway Mall, and the floor where the cinema was located was packed full of people waiting in line to get tickets for Twilight. It was rather amusing, seeing fangirls scream over a cardboard cutout of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, and having pictures of them taken with it. I have no idea why they were fawning over the cardboard cutout though. It was weird. I’d rather look at Moroccan decor.

As promised, I am going to blog about that thing that Feah, Dre and I have been working on. Feah and I have been talking about how we missed being part of a community or a message board for a while now. So we’ve decided to create Menage MB, which Dre offered to host. We hope to see you there!

Oh, and a certain DVD store here in the Philippines is offering a free mahogany seedling with every purchase of the special edition Wall-E DVD. Jeremiah and I are thinking of getting our own DVDs. It’s really ironic, though. The packaging for the Region 3 (Southeast Asian) version DVD uses up a lot of paper, as opposed to the Region 1 DVDs. So much for being environment-friendly. Heh.

Okay yay, I’m going to go see what kind of Moroccan decor there is… and then maybe go to bed. Let’s hope i actually get some sleep, eh?
