Sci-Fi serenity
Category: movies
Last night I watched Serenity I saw it at the movies , on HBO in demand. It is one of a few movies I have seen with future represive governments like V for Vendeta, Aeon Flux, all the star wars movies and some others. But it got me thinking about movies that have philoshpies in them as opposed to just basicly action. Yes there is a good guy and a bunch of evil guys in action movies. But often there is no philosphy. I can't say that I'm a huge sci-fi fanatic. But one thing I like is that often philosphy plays a part in the story and that makes the movie more interesting. I know that it isn't only in Sci-fi that philoshpy has a big part in good Kung Fu movies like Iron Monkey for example and I can't remember the name but there are corupt monks. I will admit that you don't want a movie to be all philosphy and no action but a good mix makes a movie a lot better.

rate 420
Category: web
Ok so I admit rating sites are evil but verry fun in some ways. But I got a message on myspace about one that a few people might like it is called rate420.com it is girls with bongs. So far nothing dirty but it is kinda intersting. But I wonder do I rate them do I go by what the picture of the girl looks like or should one really rate the bong. Again I have to admit that those sites are so evil. Unless you understand that it is just for fun and that you are really just rating the picture and not the actual girl. I wonder how legal the site is also. I mean no one smokes any thing legal out of a bong. But are they really using it or just look like they are using it. I wonder if that sight will come back and cause those girls there jobs. I wonder if it is legit or mostly models. In any event it is a good time Killer to check out some time.

Another site with ladies with bongs. This looks a lot more professional. That is not the only thing on this site but some of you may enjoy it.

Another interesting site is jlist.com . They sell movies and snacks and stuff from Japan. Yeah some of it is porn. But when you go there they have a site that dosn't sell any adult stuff.

that looks like a wierd fetish site (rate420.com) I rated them all a 10 so they wouldn't feel inferior.

camp fire? Bon fire ? Can Fire?
Category: news
On my way to work yesterday I saw something interesting that I forgot to post about. In downtown Buffalo outside the convention center between city hall and the square there was what looked like a fire. It was early and dark still maybe aroun 5:20 Am . There where a bunch of chairs and some people sitting around from what I could bearly see what kinda looked like a garbage can and you could kinda see light coming out from it. At that time in the morning I am sure as hell not going to go up and say "hi I'm on my way to work what is going on here?" Then there where a few people also standing around near the bushes. This morning I was late for work that got me downtown about an hour later (i lost and hour somehow this morning) so say about 6:20am and there where people sitting on nice folding silver chairs. Then there where a few people sitting on the steps that lead up to the convention center doors on the second floor. I was wondering if some people who live downtown get to gather in some communel event. It is warm out so it isn't homeless people staying warm. If it was where would they have gotten the matching (at least from a distance) chairs. So now I'm thinking maybe it is people who work at the convention center. For things like this Is why I wish I had a cell phone i would have loved to take a picture (not sure how it would come out) then load it up to (e:strip). If anyone knows what is going On it would be cool to know. I have no idea if they will be there on wendsay but maybe anyone is still up and has nothing better to do go see if they are there.

I will admit the union things sounds like a stong possibilty. No one was there today and there tent like booth thing that looks like the tents at the art festival was gone. But there was still something up against the wall, but maybe that thing what ever it is has allways been there. If people ever come back I will try to post about it, but who knows.
mrmike - 07/19/06 16:16
I'm wondering if it isn't a union thing. There is a group by the construction on Delaware near Channel 2. There is always the bon fire in the barrel and stuff like that. Usually somebody is passing out leaflets, stuff like that.

somebody lit one of those plastic garbage cans down they have down on Niagara St on fire a few months ago.

The next day it was all melty and distorted

Aeon Steam
Category: movies
Over the weekend I never did get to see A Scaner Darkly bur I didn't think I would. On friday Clerks II comes out and that looks verry good. I was surprised that they had huge hanging posters for it at the Elmwood regal. This weekend I decided to get AEONFLUX on PPV , it was verry good. Yes it is an action movie and had a few plot turns so it was fun to watch. I admit I have only seen the cartoon a couple times so don't know how much it followed it. But I thought it was good. The other movie I got to see was Steam Boy. First of all there was some really amazing animation. But some scenes in the move where really dark and you could kinda just here sounds. That may have been more like that because the subtittles where bright Yellow. In the discripton it mentioned all these famous people who did the voices but than it wasn't that version. With out giving away to much of the story it is set in the past and the Steam family is a family in working on steam engines. As in some animees philoshpy is a big part of it, there is a theme running through it about how science should be used and that it shouldn't be used as a weapon or just for profit. I thought there was some preaty good action in it and enjoyed the battles and the characters. Sometimes animee with kids arn't my cup of tea but this was preaty good.
