I saw two 3D movies this past weekend: Coraline and My Bloody Valentine. As a skeptic of 3D movies, I left both of them quite impressed. The sense of depth in both of them were quite awesome, especially when text very visibly jumped off the screen. MBV had a really cool intro where newspaper overlays came out on top of each other and it was a very real almost-Minority-Report vibe to it. Fade outs are now cool again.
I've been reading Goethe's Faust for my Lit class this semester. It's pretty decent and I'm enjoying it even more because my class seems to hate it. I'm turning more and more into a apathetic griefer in my English classes. I think that's a bad thing. I feel mildly trapped because there are these really simple concepts in the story that people can't really grasp. It's not like this is a GE class, this is a class that English majors take. I'm just continually frustrated by the lack of...something...knowledge? worldiness?-something I can't even put my finger-but the lack of that in my peers is endlessly frustrating. I feel like an asshole for saying that, because it's not like I know my shit inside and out. I'm a slacker and a half, but somehow my minimal effort vastly outweighs some people's full efforts.
"Sometimes jacks rule the realm/Can't ya tell/The swimmers drown/Without a sound/A chalkboard scratching sound/Will craze the town/An Emperor's clothes/Never be exposed"
I've also been making a shitton of Cubeecrafts. They fucking rule.
I started playing Dragon Quest V for review for NWR. Slow-paced old-school RPG FTW. It is supposed to be one of the best games in the series and a landmark RPG. Right now I feel like I'm going through the motions. I'm only a little over an hour into it though. It must get better.
