SUCKA PUNCH!!!!!!!!!

Had an excellent hurricane with Christina.
They need to shut the world down more often so I can spend some quality time with my One and Only.

Media Consumption Round Up!!!

After ignoring its existence for months, I finally opened up InFamous 2 and gave it a spin.
Not all that surprising, it's a lot like InFamous 1, but with...uh...more...InFamous 1.

Chris and have watched the second of the three Girl movies, The Girl Who Played With Fire.
Dark and Swedish.
Like the book but with less research.

Watched Sucker Punch because I heard it was massive HD eye candy.
Turns out it was.
I kept expecting someone to just turn towards the camera , throw up the Metal Horns and yell, "Sucka Punch!!!!!".
There was this great moment when Jon Hamm (?!) has this wonderful look of confusion on his face.
Of course it's because of something his character was confused about, but I thought, just for one tiny second that he was about to look right into the camera and say, not "Sucka Punch!!!!!!!" but "I'm in Mad Men, what the fuck am I doing here?!"
But he didn't.
My loss.
Back to my point:
I keep hearing people complain that there was no plot.
.Well...yeah, it's Zack Snyder.
I thought we all had an agreement that if Zack Snyder is to be allowed to direct things, someone has to write an amazing script.
Like Watchmen.
That was a good Zack Snyder movie because he didn't have to write anything.
Sucker Punch was...well, it was just too obviously teenage masturbatory material for me to get anything out of it.
Seriously, teens, the Internet has, literally, thousands of hours of free, high def porn just waiting for your sticky little fingers.
You can probably even find an Emily Browning look-a-like if you searched long enough.
I'm glad that, after such a waste of time like Sucker Punch, that she is doing a serious movie like Sleeping Beauty with a script and all that.
I hope this doesn't just turn out to be mindless titillation as well.

I've also reached the last episode of the first season of Breaking Bad which I jumped into because I've heard enough good stuff about it to tickle my pickle.
My Television Pickle.
I'm enjoying it, even though it drags occasionally.
It's pretty amazing to see Bryan Cranston play this role after watching Malcolm In The Middle for so many years.
This guy is hardcore.
I've watched the first...season or two of Weeds and I have to say that Breaking Bad wins.
Mainly because the stakes are so much higher; growing marijuana can't cause you to explode.
I know the fourth season just started and it'll be interesting to see how they keep this going.
I'm hoping they don't pull a Dexter where they almost totally reveal everything at the end of each season but never quite do, ostensibly resetting everything back to one for each new season.
We'll see...

Sadly, a Great Sickness has descended upon me, rendering my voice moot for the continued recording of The Grind Show.
Which blows.
I am so fucking close...
The book is three quarters recorded and half edited, not counting the tweaks ordered from the God King, Tucker, the Maker of the Word Who Must Be Lauded Above All.
I'm honestly astounded that I made it this far without getting sick.
Well...we'll see who is boss.
Soon...nothing will stop me...

I am going to go pee pee and go home.
And I'm taking my gondola with me.
SUCKA PUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
