Hello everyone. As it may be evident, I haven’t posted in quiet some time but I hope to try and change that. If you’ve read any of my other posts you know I like to talk a fair amount on comics. Unfortunately I’ve somewhat lost my appeal for them, I believe mainly due to the lack of good stories. So I'm going to concentrate more on video games and movies/TV series. I'm sorry to leave you with such a short post just starting back but I'm writing this somewhat late and will hopefully have a lot more for you soon.

Reviews:
Watchmen Motion Comic: As you can see I have quite a list of things I’ve seen that I feel like commenting on. And just having finished that last sentence I had to chase my cat out of my room as he was trying to secretly throw up behind my computer whilst I was at it. Now where was I…ah yes the Watchmen Motion Comic. Well back when Watchmen was fixing to come out I decided to pick up the Motion Comic in my excitement to see the film. I had also previously bought the graphic novel and read through it so I knew nothing would really hold any surprises for me. I never finished the Motion Comic because although it was interesting seeing the comic frame for frame with added motion and voices, the thing is 2 discs long with like 5 hours of viewing because it shows frame for frame and you have to watch it slower than if you were to read it yourself. Something else that kind of put me off to it was I started to realize that EVERY character in the movie was voiced by the EXACT SAME PERSON! Yes, 1 man does the voice of every man, woman, and child. But still if you’re a die hard Watchmen fan I’d find it hard for you not to pick up.
Watchmen: I’d have to say that Watchmen is probably my favorite movie of 2009 thus far. I thought it was way better than 300 and right up there if not perhaps better than
Dragonball GT: So I’ve been buying all the recently released seasons of Dragonball Z which has each season comprised of 6 discs of every episode of that season; rather than the 12 set DVD volumes they use to have (some years back) that took up a whole shelf space because they only put up to 4 episodes per DVD and each costing $20. So for all the fools out there who bought every volume back then, I bet you’re feeling pretty retarded about now but at least you have some pretty DVD art* to look at. Well I’ve been revisiting my childhood by going back through the DBZ series and finally seeing some of the episodes I never caught on TV like half of the Freeza Saga.
Anywhozzle, they also decided to do the same with Dragonball GT which is the series following the events of DBZ, so of course I had to pick those up as well. Having finished the 2 seasons of DBGT, I didn’t really enjoy it as much as DBZ. I mean I was looking all forward to Super Saiyan 4 Goku kicking some serious butt but as always after he reaches a new peak in perfection, someone else comes along and pwns him like he was still using his Kaioken technique. And poor Vegeta gets taken down as soon as he reaches level 4, feeling happy he’s finally able to match Goku again. And the thing that really upset me was that you only see Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta for 1 episode and then his fusion time runs out and they can never fuse again despite trying the rest of the episodes. But the Dragonball series is definitely one of the most popular animes out there and it’s easy to see why.
*A reference made that only those who know what I’m talking about, know what I’m talking about. Because out of those 12 DVDs you’d have to buy, each DVD’s side of the case has a piece of a picture. Then when all 12 DVDs were lined up side by side it made a somewhat cool picture which pretty much depicted what went on during that season.
Lost: So I’ve recently, within the last couple months or so, discovered that Lost is one of the best things made since television and if you think I’m lying then see for yourself. And if you still think I’m lying, I want you to say it to my face so I can hit you up side the head and leave YOU stranded on a deserted island. Honestly it’s a little hard to explain without having watched it yourself but it shows the story of the passengers from a flight that went down somewhere over the Pacific and stranded them on a “deserted” island. That’s right…air quotes around the word deserted. Because they soon find that they are not alone. But the story is just freaking fantastic and its awesome seeing how all this stuff is tied together. The writers of Lost should have won freakin Oscars for that stuff. Actually I think they probably won a couple Golden Globes or something. I've watched all of seasons 1-4 and am desperately anticipating the 5th one which should be coming out around December, I believe. I command ALL to watch it!
PS: It is CRITICAL that you start at Season 1 episode 1 because if you don't you'll probably be Lost. LMAO. Ok so it wasn't that funny but I didn't care how corny it sounded.
