First of all, all of

First of all, all of those "great games from our past", weren't really that great. Goldeneye was the only one that got any acclaim, and it wasn't that great, it was just the first to get the console FPS anywhere close to right. Perfect Dark had to be the pinnacle of the companies existance, so frankly, i could careless who owns them.

Secondly, I post today to save as many as i can from the great travesty of a movie known as "Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever." The newspaper gave it a "bomb," or no stars, as some like to call it. But it was because the the plot was dumb and they blew everything up. I said to myself, explosions are cool, and action movies don't REALLY need a plot, do they? Well, i think this was the first time in my life i was bored in an action movie. Things were exploding left and right and people where shooting everything in sight, yet somehow, it completely sucked. And since the plot blows goats, this movie should've gotten negative stars. I've never left a movie before it ended, but i was SOOO close this time... (I can't belive i missed the first part of ALIAS to see that crap...) On the plus side, Ray Park is in the movie! (Known to most as Darth Maul, or Toad to you X-Men fans!) And he smashes his record of only 3 lines in a movie! There was one part of the movie where i was about to say "hey this is pretty cool" where lucy liu (Sever) and Ross (ray park, with a new kind of role as a villian's lackey) fight hand to hand. (why they dropped their assault rifles and side arms to do it, i really don't know. Personally i would have shot him and got the movie over with.) But half way threw this total sweet ninja-style fight, the step back to have an anime style "pose-off." Sever spins this chain around then poses. So Ross snatches the chain and spins it around and ends in a pose. So Sever flips up onto a cat walk, does some karate moves then poses. So Ross wraps the chain around the rialing, and walks up to the cat walk giving Sever the evil eye. So Sever snatches the chain of the rail and flips it around and ends in another pose. Then they fight again. But overall, it is definately the best part of the whole movie.

So with your day off this friday, do somethign fun. Maybe see a movie? But at all costs, don't let that movie be "Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever"
