Jam-packed full of schtuff today
BBS TRAILER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAH
IT IS SEVEN MINUTES LONG
LESS THAN THREE WEEKS AND WE GET ALL OF THIS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
*breathes*
I felt like drawing all the eeveelutions in a Claire Wendling style. So, I did!
Memento
While I enjoyed The Dark Knight and Inception, I think this is the movie that's made me a Christopher Nolan fan. It was engaging, made you have to think to keep up with it, and just all-around suspenseful. I must be a sucker for telling a story backwards *coughTheEleventhHourcough*, 'cause I actually really liked the fact that the story was told this way. It puts the viewer straight into Lenny's shoes...with only scant information on what has happened and why, and trying to put together the pieces with nothing but out-of-context clues. It's a very difficult way to develop characters, but in this case, it works. You can't help but feel sympathetic for Lenny, even though by the end you discover that he is psychotic and stubborn. It takes some skill to make my sympathize with a crazy character (and I don't mean crazy in terms of his condition, since I think the way people treated him with his condition was just as abhorrent as the way he treated others).
So! Great acting, great writing, great methods for explaining each scene, very intense. I'd watch this one again.
Memoirs of a Geisha
This one was pretty good. Probably not my favoritest, but the music and layouts were very pretty. It's kind of depressing by design...here you have a world wherein women are objectified as part of their profession (not that women aren't often objectified anyway, but this is a special case), and so in turn, they stop treating each other like humans, too. It becomes so severe that even a single moment of kindness becomes life-changing.
I can't help being a little bit squicked by the age difference between Chiyo and the Chairman, but I suppose in the time, culture and situation that really can't be helped. For what it was, it was bittersweet.
There's also two new Lunargyros pages, read 'em here.
Drawing: Still LG and fanart
Writing: Stuck on the RP for now
Days until BBS release: 20

3:02 YOU CAN D-LINK WITH PETE!?!???????? Okay, as far as I know you CANNOT do that in the Japanese version. How ironic that I recently doodled a picture of Aqua kicking Pete in the nuts. <-- anger issues XD
3:13 I don't remember them having Disney Castle as one of the Rumble Race courses! ... not like I'm interested because I hated the racing part. XD
3:52 That Org. XIII lookalike is 99% OF THE REASON WHY I WANT TO BUY THE AMERICAN VERSION. ARGH.
5:02 Lmao, Elaeus and Dalin sound deadpan. Don't over-exert yourselves too much, guys. >_>;;;
5:13 BRAIG, YOUR VOICE IS SO SEXY. I will forever think of you as the hobo surfer. <3333333
6:48 "MY FRIENDS ARE MY POWER" OMGGGG I WAS WAITING TO HEAR THAT IN ENGLISH FOR MONTHSSSSSSSSSS
Oh my God, the voice over in the end gave me chills. Just like the Japanese version. ;____;
I watched the equivalent Japanese trailer in December almost every day for a week or two, and I still remember half of the lines in Japanese clearly in my head. XD It's like two dub tracks are playing at the same time. *crazy* I am kind of disappointed that they didn't use the Simple and Clean theme in the middle like in the original Japanese trailer. Oh well, I know where this theme comes from. I didn't recognize it until it reached a certain part of the video... XD hehe.

...and while I'm kiiiinda disappointed that Lee won't be voicing DiZ/Ansem in this game(I think that's supposed to be his voice at the beginning of the trailer?), I heard he's doing the voice of Yen Sid in Epic Mickey(or at least, so my bro said, I'm not sure if that's actually the case)so I can be content with that :)
or maybe the peeps at Disney thought that the combo of Nimoy, Lee and Hamill would make the players PSP's overload from the awesome XD(no subject)

Seriously though, I soooo want this game. I'm still a little iffy about some of the voices though. But backstory, I wants it. Why do I get the feeling everyone is going to die?
