It's Just Like Diamonds...

Still jobless. I did, however, get some film back today. Also, I'll be developing 3 rolls myself in the coming week. So, I have still been productive. Read a bunch of comics and watched a few movies. Wanted (the comic) is just flatout awesome which is much more than I can say for the movie trailer. I mean, I could see someone not having read the comic think it looked kind of cool, but in relation to the comic itself, it looks tame. The Alan Moore run on Supreme is another fantastic read. It is a shame that it didn't get to officially end story-wise.

I saw Funny Games this past weekend. It was so disturbingly, terrifyingly brilliant. I wish the guy who made that movie was making Wanted. I won't say that it was the most disturbing movie I have ever seen, but it is still uncomfortably wrong for a mainstream audience. Some other movies that were a pleasure to see - Thank You For Smoking, Hi Mom!, The Ten, Hot Rod, Deer Hunter (so depressing), The Mission (incredible music), The King of Kong (watch it now!), The Shape of Things (still conflicted on that one), and Living In Oblivion.

I got a frickin' lot to catch up on the photographs:

We Been Runnin' Barefoot In The Street

So, my fellow midsoutherns, wasn't the temperature insanely amazing yesterday?! I haven't been out today, but I imagine it is not as perfect. Although, it does look particularly nice what with the sun out. I actually like cloudy weather, but being confined to the house these past few cloud-ridden days has made Adam a dull boy.

I was kind of browsing through some of the groups on flickr I belong to (...them, curse you, preposition! It's so easy to end a sentence with you...of.). In doing so, I often find people who are awesomely talented. This guy had a photoblog which I rather dug. I was going to post a photo or two of his, but combining flickr and this has been met with inconvenience as well as my ineptitude in regards to html. Until I get my latest photos, I figured I would show some older favorites of mine (by older, I mean, within the past 6 months or so):








Oh, and in case you are like me and are very behind on your movie-watching, might I suggest Casino Royal or Crank? Both brilliant. Completely opposing styles of filmmaking but to a similar effect. Pulse-pounding action flicks that transcend typical, stupid action movies. One to avoid: Shoot 'Em Up. I have pondered on the possibility that the film was a joke that I just didn't get. I was even told that it was supposedly a satire, but to me, it came off like a garden-variety 90's comic book. This is not to say that it wasn't entertaining, but in the end, it was what it was: a stupid action movie.
