Starcraft Artsies Update

Le Gasp! Two posts! In two days!

Haha! But no, since I decided to stop slapping digital paint on the Starcraft piccie I was working on back in August (that I only actually continued working on sporadically 2 days ago) I felt I should just post it on my deviantart and the blog since I originally intended for this blog to be an artsies blog. (However that dwindled to practically nil)

So w/o further ado :-

 

Raynor & Kerrigan - Deviantart post



Raynor & Kerrigan - Orignal Full

 
Hmm... as a small faraway looking pic, the butt on Kerrigan doesn't actually look too bad. But when I was looking at it to post on DA, the butt just looked... well, butt-ugly. Oh well, I really like Kerrigan's face in this picture though. Maybe I'll turn it into a pic avatar.



Source Code, Fast Five and Thor

This blog really has hardly any artwork on it at all. *hangs head*

But, just some thoughts on the few movies I've watched in the month of April. Spoilers may litter around.

Source Code -
Fairly entertaining if you like the whole sci-fi, time-hop-slash-alternate universe thing. (Which I do, really) Though I suppose some people would probably be bored in their seats after watching practically the same scene over and over when it resets. Overall, it was a good movie, not a must watch or die movie for me, but a movie that was good none the less. Of course, my brother and I disagreed on a little thing at the end which was, there were two Colter Stevens mind psyche brainwaves in one reality. After all, I argued since Stevens was supposed to be inhabiting that body when he got unplugged, (and to me, looks like he's stuck in that poor man's body) that he's essentially Colter Stevens brainwave possessed. Coupled with the fact there's that particular reality's Colter Stevens still in cold sleep, I'd say you have two of em in one universe. My bro disagreed though.

Fast Five -
What can I say, I loved it. Every unrealistic, speed heisting, unbelievable bit. Honestly, I wasn't so interested in the first Fast and Furious. But Fast Furious 4 and Fast Furious 5 totally hits my interest zone. I will now anxiously await Fast and Furious 6 which is supposed to be in the works, and hopefully- Vin Diesel will be reprising Dom Toretto. (Because honestly, it looks like number 6 might involve the mystery around Letty's mysterious revival and c'mon... Dom and the police chick? Bleh... Sorry, can we go back to the original pairing guys?)

Thor -
Another movie that was okay for me, didn't leave me screaming for more, but it was entertaining. Especially when Chris Hemsworth as Thor kicks butt. (I'll admit, I totally love his accent in Thor and he's easy on the eyes. Tall and muscles that aren't over the top. What girl can argue with that?) Now, some points on why I only felt it was an okay movie. For one, I felt it was a little rushed with the whole story trying to tell and fit more that was allowed within the time of the movie. But hey, I'm not surprised when they're trying to show a whole origins story for the coming Avengers movie. Another thing was, I felt the antagonist of the whole movie was kind of screwed up in the fact I couldn't really tell what goal he was doing everything for til he shouts it out in the end. In my opinion, bad story telling as I didn't really get the foreshadowing of why he was doing anything that he did. But, an argument in his favour... daddy-issues. The man had serious daddy-issues.

Okay, well that's it for my blog entry for the year I guess if I keep with the 2 entries per-year. Lol. :p

Japan Earthquake/Tsunami Disaster and Facebook

First off, I pray for the country that they will make it through their crisis in these dark hours. Hopefully their death toll won't be as bad as predicted (though it does look very bleak at the moment) and that nothing else happens in the mean time (disaster-wise).

Now, something very disturbing has come to light with the earthquake/tsunami disaster in Japan that I found quite shocking while browsing through my list of notices on Facebook. A friend posted picture(?) of several various facebook comments from Americans where some actually jeered at Japan's time of tragedy equating a natural disaster and threat of nuclear meltdown as "payback" for Pearl Harbour. It is saddening to think that there are apparently malicious and small-minded bigoted individuals in the world that will laugh at a country's misfortune.

I mean, honestly? Payback? Apparently it's simple to conveniently forget that America has already exacted their "payback" by nuking two whole cities and contaminating land with nuclear radiation that has had lasting effects even up til today. Those on that facebook pic said remember Pearl Harbour, well I say what about Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Sure, Pearl Harbour was tragic, but so was every other place  in the world where war has erupted. People saying how sad and sorry and badly wronged their side was, are just being childish. Every side in a war is wronged not because of who shot who first, but because people DIE.

You say karma? Well in that case, if you wish evil on others, karma's going to come back and bite all you small-minded people too doesn't it?

Stop being vindictive. Stop passing down your hatred to the next generation. And stop whining about how sucky your stupid life and government is. Treat people as how you would like to be treated and not kick them in the face when they're on the ground.

Okay, rant over. I feel much better now since seeing that disgusting pic of facebook postage.
