The clock reads 5:36 and I've just finished up dropping my roomie off at the train station where he will partake on an 18+ hour trip down to Berkeley, Cali. to stay with his folks (I mean, honestly, 18 fucking hours? Get your shit together, Amtrak). This marks the very first time we haven't lived under the same roof since August '09. Big change? Kinda. His leaving means I'll have to vacate our adorable half of the duplex by the 16th of May. Since property management companies are pieces of shit, and only open on the weekdays, I dunno if I can manage to find some place before that time... so it might be back in with the folks for a while. Fuck.
In other news, aside from seeing an absolutely beautiful film called The Fall (pictures below this paragraph), I caught Kick Ass with the ladyfriend and was thoroughly pleased with the showing. The theater, to my dismay, wasn't jampacked with loads of super cool people. Instead, it seemed like we weren't the only couple who decided on this flick, as there were a single column, two wide, of guy/girl pairs vertically oriented in the center seats of each row. Just a big old line up the center. Awesome. As for the movie, I couldn't've been more pleased! Nic Cage wasn't near as bad as I had initially assumed him to be (judging by his dismal performances in just about everything else), but I'd say the low point of the film were between Hit-Girl and Big Daddy when they were playing their civilian selves. Then again, I do consider the possibility that this was intentional in order to show the audience that these people are far more comfortable once in costume than in their daily lives, but it still didn't keep the cringes from coming. Getting that little 11 year old to swear seemed like a gimmick in those scenes, and wasn't executed well. Props to the director/writer for writing in a sex scene in a back alley behind a comic shop (committed by two high schoolers no less), never seen that shit before, so major respect even if it isn't in the comic.
(OMG PIX FROM THE FALL)
Lookin' super sexy? I know, the visuals are so incredible I almost forgot that story was interesting and the opening and ending sequences are outstanding for two different reasons. Make sure you check this shit out.
In other news, Super Street Fighter 4 just dropped on your favorite console, and I've been gaming out a LOT recently. This week's 3 mid-term havin' ass really fucked my game time, you know, the stuff that's important but.. I've still logged some hours. The original Street Fighter 4 made me go
