blah blah blah

So I downloaded and watched Kung-fu Panda II last night. It was pretty good. Don't ask why I downloaded it, I just wanted to, and Shen was awesome. Gary Oldman ftw?!

But maybe I'm just being picky but movies nowadays are so...blah to me. :c Like the avengers wasn't anything special and I'm honestly surprised it did as well as it did. Aside from the last fight scene the entire movie took place on the ship until the last half hour. It wasn't really spectacular but maybe I'm just being overly picky for action movies. Though it did have pretty good character development for that kind of movie and with that many main characters.

ANYWAY! I wish movies weren't so formulaic. I wish there was a movie where the bad guys came out on top! Sadly I don't think that'll happen anytime soon.

Ah, Kung-Fu Panda was pretty awesome. I loved the white tiger's beatdown on Shi-Fu. I never got around to seeing Kung-Fu Panda 2, but sequels being sequels, I probably would have been disappointed.

There are a few movies I can think of where the "bad guys" come out on top. The problem is that a lot of people tend to confuse "protagonist" with "hero", and a lot of those movies apparently sucked anyway. Did you ever see "Doctor Horrible's Singalong Blog"? That's really the only one I can think of, and it's only 42 minutes.

Kung-Fu Panda was hysterical and pretty damn good, yeah. The sequel was so so. Shen was pretty badass when he was actually fighting which sadly wasn't very much. But I have never seen Doctor Horrible, no. I've heard of it before though!

It seems silly. I always thought it was a comedy, it is a comedy right?

[hickumu]

It is very silly. And it's...kind of a comedy. The first 35 minutes are a comedy. And then hoooooooly fuck, the ending. But, c'mon, Neil Patrick Harris. He's always fun to watch.

But I can most emphatically say that the bad guy? Comes out pretty far on top. It's just a matter of who you think the bad guy is.

Hmm I always thought it was a series too idk why.

That sounds interesting. It's kinda like the book I'm reading, Cephreal's Hand. You get both sides of the story, good and evil, and it's reaaally hard not to agree with both. I love this book man it's pretty awesome.

[hickumu]

I think people would love for it to be a series, but Neil Patrick Harris is impossible to get ahold of. Hell, they're still waiting for him to be available for the sequel!

Cephreal's Hand, huh? Well, you've given me good books recs so far, so I'll go ahead and check that out! There's also apparently a steampunk Cinderella book I was looking at, called "Cinders". Mechanical doll girls, always a subject that's fascinated me.

[occults]

Oh wow. He's a really good/funny actor so I can see why he'd be hard to get ahold of. :c

Oooh that one sounds awesome. I'll proabably download it illegal like I have been for most of my books. >__> It makes it better that I have this program, calibre, that turns PDFs/anything else into MOBI. files for Kindles. So, yeah, I can buy/download whatever I want now!

[hickumu]

O_o I was wondering how you'd gotten Fear Institute when Amazon didn't have it! The more you know!

Your secret is safe with me, Levy!

[occults]

Actually. I bought Fear Institute...from England >3> But I do still have the PDF on my laptop. I mean Cata originally found the PDF online so I was reading it like that and then I finished the rest of the book when I bought the hard copy soooo, yeah.

Don't tell anyone otherwise I might have to do...UNSPEAKABLE THINGS!
