Wall-E Review
June 27, 2008
It’s taken me too long to set myself down and write about this. This week has been hellish. So I shall do so with a quickness right now.
I went to the midnight showing. That’s the breed of human I am.
Blasting through the negatives right away: Not the best-written Pixar film. Heavy-handed on the social commentary. The camera work bounced between being very mature for a Pixar film and very noteworthy to being the same-old same; normally the boring angles wouldn’t have been noticed, but when juxtaposed so sharply against some wonderful shots, it made itself apparent.
But the picture was so overwhelmingly adorable and the character of Wall-E was so absolutely lovable that I couldn’t help but enjoy it from beginning to end. I don’t think I could ever watch it again, though. I nearly had an aneurysm from how cute it was. Seriously, my heart nearly exploded.
New Albums
June 27, 2008
Music Friday. You get new albums.
First is a teaser from Mute Math:
I’m stoked on this. There’s others if you click-through and look at related videos.
And The Faint.
I’m more stoked on this than is reasonably communicable. Apologies for the bad video. But I’ve already mentioned this crap this week.
Muse: Canciones Nuevos

Y si no puede…
Muse’s new album is due out summer 2009. They may be playing songs from it in their Mexico concert.
Yo estudie espanol por… siete anos. Pero no recuerdo mucho. Puedo leerlo, poco.
Universal Traveler

Lots of posts today.
… and …
For a 24-year-old, I’d like to think that’s not too bad.
The Faint
June 24, 2008
Their Myspace – go listen to The Geeks Were Right.
New Faint.
Shit-hot.
I’m going to see them in August. I need to get a leak of this album before then.

Druid Boy – Crank Dat
This will really only be funny if you’re a World of Warcraft veteran.
Look at his spell bar!
Novel, Draft, Finished

Holy crap.
I just finished the first draft of my novel.
Holy crap.
I never want to look at that thing ever again.

I know many who would chuckle at this video.
Not sure how many visit this page though.
But you can’t buy Thunderfury.

Ladytron – Destroy Everything You Touch
Sure, every hipster worth their salt knows this band, especially if they were awake for the six months that all hipsters suddenly decided synthpop was the flavor to savor. Thanks for that, jerks.
I have a feeling Miss Harker will enjoy this.
