I saw it on saturday. Was a pretty cool movie. Without spoiling it for anyone, at the beginning, Brad Pitt looks totally weird. Either great make-up or great CG. it's hard to tell.
His face was CG, body was not (obviously not Brad Pitt... but a real body). Don't know if this is the case 100% of the time but I know for most of it the body was an actual person's body.
Yeah I got that too, an old brad pitt CG head on a heavily make uped childs body. Very cleverly done though, some of the finest CG work I've seen in a film and that u-boat scene was fucking fantastic, I wish they'd make a whole movie like that. Still quality film.
I was half expecting the Spirit to be sh*t. After watching Sin City a few more times I've deemed it to be over-rated, so Miller left to his own devices could only be a bad thing.
So can somebody inform me if The Spirit was ever all hardcore argh in the comics, or was that just Miller having a wank on it with the movie.
I thought The Spirit was about some goofball who solved mysteries or fought crime or wars or whatever and had a sidekick that was such a horrific racist caricature that I actually couldn't figure out if it was supposed to be that mind-blowingly racist, or if it was actually just supposed to be a talking monkey, until I looked it up on wikipedia just now.

If you do decide to see it, for the love of reason, do not take it at all seriously.
If you don't mind a few spoilers-
The Spirit frequently likes to do comic style monologuing; you can imagine how well that tranfers to film. The dialogue is very cliche- sometimes cringe-inducing. I guess this might be the parody part that Orik was talking about, but it didn't work for me. It's actually pretty funny in places though. I mentioned this on the previous page, but there's a scene with Samuel L. Jackson in full Nazi regalia- well done ridiculous campy humor, in my opinion.

I really have no intention of seeing it, considering how much I disliked both Sin City and 300 as movies.
Maybe if it had a Queen soundtrack ala Flash Gordon I'd be more easily sold on the camp silliness argument, but considering how wide the discrepancy was between what I thought Miller was going for in the comics and what he was actually going for as evidenced by the SC/300 movies, I'm more willing to consider at this point that Miller is in fact, just dumb guy who makes dumb things and doesn't realize they're dumb because he's dumb.
Oh, it's actually 3 different images, hold on I'll fix it.
I think I didn't notice cause I'm on my sisters computer which includes a humongously awesome monitor. I'm not used to widescreen monitors or computers that are, you know, nice.
Well Gran Torino was awesome. Mostly because Clint Eastwood
mutters racial slurs
for two hours.
Hahaha, he's going for the whole "support the old white man stereotype" dollar.
I want to see the movie based on the previews. So is it that he makes friends with a young asian kid, but the gangsta asian kids get all up in his lawn and he's gotta whip out the boom stick? That's what I saw and that's what I want to pay to see the rest of.
One of the most basic laws in the universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that as time goes by, entropy in an environment will increase. Evolution argues differently against a law that is accepted EVERYWHERE BY EVERYONE. Evolution says that we started out simple, and over time became more complex. That just isn't possible: UNLESS there is a giant outside source of energy supplying the Earth with huge amounts of energy. If there were such a source, scientists would certainly know about it.
This cannot possibly be real. Or is it just so commonplace that they have just ceased to notice the ginormous ball of burning gas powering our biosphere?

I just love the total denial in this one.
I believe my son has a girlfriend, because she left a dirty magazine with men in it under his bed. My son is only 16 and I really don't think he's ready to date yet. What's worse is that he's sneaking some girl to his room behind my back. I need help, God! I want my son to stop being so secretive!

Please don't try to kill my brain like that, I still have thinking I'd like to do with it.
Also my mother gave me a webcam she apparently got free with some makeup junk she bought.
So does hooking this up obligate me to start doing really bad amateur pornography or what, I really can't think of any other real use for it.
Hmm, how much money do you think I could get from a sexy mustache twirling/lusty glances live cam service?
finished my secret santa thing, if you can call it finished - i'm proud of the drawing but the colouring is kind of butt. gonna go back and do it in the new year.

[about a girl being born with mental disabilities] This girl is like a leper so what she needs to do is try and find god if she really believes she can be healed from this state, she will be healed from this state Most afflictions like this are caused by sins committed while still inside the womb. If she can repent for what she does god will embrace her and make her as human as you or me but if she chooses not to she'll always be like this god tests every one of us [emphasis added]

At first it was directed at you, but really I tricked my self into typing out loud so my eyes would remind me to finish this horrid portrait for the night.
Whoo boy, I am really looking forward to 2009 rolling around. Outside from classes i've done next to nothing extra art-wise. Even though i've improved somewhat over the course of this year, it's been pathetic compared to the motivation and energy I put into filling up a sketchbook during 2007. If i'm going to be in this biz this kind of stuff won't cut it.
Expect me to make one of those new year's resolution progress threads starting next year.

Ah I see. I just had a momentary feeling of getting caught doodling in class. Then I realized I'm not in class and I'm supposed to be doodling.
