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

- Oh crap, so like Mario Kart. XD
- Yeah, that guy looks ridiculous hard, so I hope he's not a requirement to get the secret movies.
- So I hear...thankfully that's still a surprise for me...
- YESSSSSS
Oh yay, corny lines are the best. XD
no subject
- Ohhh yes, it's like Mario Kart. The only way you can win is going through those accelerator things and attacking people who get in your way. There's even those invincibility things! It sucks when you get mobbed though. XD
- N'awwwwwwww as evil as the KH staff is about getting all the requirements, they do not make THAT a requirement. *phew* I just beat the secret boss today and I'm so happy!
I had to use a cheap tactic I learned from the guide book though... XDMost used words: Light, darkness, heart, friends, bonds (they'll probably rewrite this word as "friends" in the American version), Keyblade. Like always! :DDD
no subject
- Oh dang, I'm not so good at Mario Kart. XD (As fun as it is)
- Okay good! That would have killed me dead.
Yaaay cheap tacticsIf there is not at least one instance of swatting bees with a Keyblade, I will be sorely disappointed.
no subject
- I discovered it's actually pretty easy to win if you break to make tight turns instead of making a wide curve. I was always afraid to break so... XD
Hrrrrm... the closest encounter you have with bees is in the Winnie the Pooh Command Board. I think the silliest thing you will hit in this game is a giant circular banana. Better than bees!
no subject
- Ooh, also useful to know. (I never brake on racing games, so I don't even care about that XD)
Aww, I am sad for the lack of bee-swatting, but hitting giant bananas is okay too. AS LONG AS SOMETHING REALLY SILLY IS HIT WITH A KEYBLADE.
