The game industry as well as my family have had a busy summer so far. So much so, that I probably should have taken the time to compose posts about things as they were happening. *shrug* Oh well, this summary of thoughts will have to do.
The List starts here:
I did see GI Joe, and I enjoyed it.
Yes there was some bad CG.
Yes the plot had insane holes.
Yes there was several times where things simply did not make any sense.
So how could I, particularly after complaining so much about Transformers 2, enjoy GI Joe?
There has been a lot of news the last few weeks, and most of it covered sufficently by the big sites, more “real” bloggers, and the twitterverse. Thus every time I have sat down to try and write a post I have stopped by thinking, “This has been talked about enough by others, and I don’t really have much more to say.” Today I am not going to let that happen. My whole point for this site, was for it to be a place for me to record my thoughts so I could look back and remember things; If I don’t post, I fail.
An old friend of mine has a new movie review based blog; Babble-on 5. Today he poster his top five movie posters, and while I think the five he picked are great there are several more I would have to consider for my list. I am sure given more time I could find many more.
Also, as I mentioned on the original post, these posters probably stick in my head due to the fact that they are part of my childhood. The Star Trek poster, one I don’t even find very pretty, is a perfect example.
Oh, and do not take this as my list. Without me spending a whole lot of time looking at movie posters from the past 100 years I don’t think I could make a list of my favorites.
Edit: Gah, how could I forgot the poster for the 1978 Superman; thanks to my wife for reminding me.
Star Trek = Good.
No, it was really good. So good I am trying to encourage everyone to go see it. Support this movie, because I want more of this Star Trekk and I want it soon.
It was so entertaining in fact that it made me do a quick review of movies I have seen in the theater since 2006 simply to double check my gut reaction. I went back to 2006 since that was the year my daughter was born, and when my movie watching habits changed dramactically. I also limited my list to Movies in the theater, because I feel it is a completely different experience than watching at home.
