oddly enough sexy, toned tv stars make alot of outfits work that wouldn't work on most people -
I think I missed out not doing the same. D'oh. Oh well. Still looked great on my...19 in pc monitor

Waltz With Bashir Truly remarkable stuff. A kind of dramatised documentary in which, through interviews with old friends, eye witnesses and observers, the film maker attempted to regain his repressed memories of the first Lebanon War. As an Israeli soldier at the time, he bore witness to the massacre of Palestinian civilians by vengeful Christian militias- a massacre the Israeli army failed to stop. It's a fascinating, brave and insightful work of self examination that deals with war guilt, the damages of war on the young and, most importantly, dares to ask if Israeli soldiers effectively took on the role of Nazi's by allowing the massacres. Absolutely amazing stuff- The animation is incredible too; lending the experience a lurid, hallucinatory feel-It perfectly captures the essence of detachment many of the interviewees express about the war; a kind of self defence mechanism that veils the horrors they saw and were part of. In the final moments of the film, the animation is replaced by newsreel footage of the massacre's aftermath- a moment that mirror's the return of the director's memories- the defences are breached, and it's quite possibly the most harrowing five minutes of footage I've ever seen, such is the impact of that barrier coming down. Watch it.

what's this radio station shiz?

I dunno about that Paj! oh wait....

IMO Alien Hominoid kinda sucks. It's pretty, and kinda fun but it's so ridiculously hard I simply can't see myself ever getting past the first level or two- and I consider myself pretty good at games too.

I got an interview today It's a job with, of all people, the DWP. The irony overwhelms me, forum. I'm surrounded. I don't think I'd mind the work, and the money is good for a while. Good day to get it in the post too- I quit my volunteering thing today. I wanted to last week but my mum flipped out and I conceeded to stay on for a while. I just couldn't face going in today though. I've been so bored there it's unbelievable. I don't grudge giving my time for a good cause (and it is. A very good one) but I could feel my brain cells leaping out of windows every time I sat on reception there. I'm not going to do something that makes me miserable when I have more I could do here like work on my blog or something.

er..no. sorry dude!

I'm about to write a review of Invincible. I'm in conflict to weather I should write a review of a purchasable volume, or the whole series. Having read so much, it's hard to break off and write about one piece. also: I have a theory about where Kirkman might be going with Invincible #61-70 or beyond.

I wasn't implying that it was a success because of the comic, merely that Hollywood never had any good ideas loads of stuff is based on comics you've never heard of.
-
book shits on that number from a lofty vantage point. The film gets a few bits right but you really need to read the original. It's way better.
-
wasn't it a comic book first?
-
Good night, and Good Luck!
-
any idea where you're planning to live? edit: you know, sans crackwhore internet?
-
in all fairness, The Wire is way better than Invincible.
-
awesome, looking forward to it. I didn't realise you had a letter posted in Invincible #48 rez! The torrent I got has the letters pages scanned in and I was reading them, read yours and thought mid way through 'this sounds exactly like Rez' and indeed it was. Congrats in some form, I suppose

I've been putting It's Blitz! through it's paces again, and I like very much. Satisfyingly maturity of a great sound by a band smart enough to move with the times. Some really great ideas involved, and some quality song craft on show. Hurrah!
-
preference over Invincible is a strong term, Rez! A great pop record can always be as satisfying as a prog rock opera after all. Still, it looks absolutely fantastic, and you may be right. I've always prefered books that are about characters than punching characters! (Invincible does both, which is handy)

I'm back up with House- or at least on my way. I've been enjoying it as ever- I wouldn't say it's weaker really. edit: only seen up to the episode with the agrophobe. spoilarz etc. -
So i torrented all of The Walking Dead too. I've read 2 issues just now and...damn. This is good. I know FP have the hardbacks in stock so I think I may well just buy it. I'm very, very impressed. The PDF scan jobs I've got are excellent , but there's something in the style of this that just needs to be owned, read in hardback and collected.

just watch it you mug!

i imagine it's a matter of time. rip off atm though!

haha that's pretty good.
