I am indeed a fan of both Bale and "Oldboy", and it's probably a good casting decision. However, I have absolutely zero interest in watching the re-make.
Kind of like how I loved the "Tintin" comics as a kid, but couldn't care less about the upcoming cash grab.

I swear this movie looks like AVP trying to rip-off the The Thing. The fact that we already know what's going to happen makes it worse. Hell, I don't even think the Thing is all that well known with the youngsters today than it was back then. Still, I love watching things I predict will be trainwrecks so this movie still appeals to me in that regard.
Personally, I think animationtronics tend to make things look.... less artificial when done right like for example:

As a kid growing up with TMNT, this shit looked so real! Even nowadays I think this looks better than most

Despite not having seen the movie myself, this also gives me nightmares. 1977 really set up the standards for Special effects it seems!
I think a lot of the new CGI stuff look kinda bad by comparison. Not to say animatronics have always looked great, I just find more charm in animatronics. Haha. Though there are definitely a lot of great looking movies that use CGI these days, like LoTR and Avatar even if the movie itself isn't always good.
Haven't been watching too many movies these days, though, honestly. The last movie I watched was the laughably shitty "Mazes & Monsters" mostly because of its ridiculous anti-D&D messages. The concept is almost as laughable as that Batman comic where he says that Rock & Roll is evil. It seems that nowadays I don't really care all that much about good movies. I generally feel more tempted to watch the ones that I know are horrid pieces of shit. Really, it's always been easier for me to talk about the stuff I hate than the stuff I like which is why, I guess, where I get my amusement from in these movies.

Saw the trailer for the new "The Thing" movie - why do the Hungarians all speak English and have plenty of flamethrowers? Why do they not seem to care much about dressing very warmly in sub arctic temperatures? Why do they have to show another scene with dogs in a cage trying to get out as they are assimilated? Why must this movie try as hard as it can to ride off of the good action parts of the first one without any of the psychological horror? WHY IS IT ALL GUNNA BE CGI AND NO ANIMATRONICS?

Umineko:
Sizes in bytes (English letters count as 1, Japanese characters count as 2)
Episode 1 -> 851994
Episode 2 -> 782882
Episode 3 -> 898057
Episode 4 -> 1085531
Episode 5 -> 852336
Episode 6 -> 833333
Episode 7 -> 763278
Episode 8 -> 467719
(Episode 8 only counts translated parts)
For scale, War and Peace is about 3.2 MB.
For reference, approximate word count and page count.
Assuming that the "average" length of a word in the English language is 5 characters and that the book is printed on A5 paper, with .5 inch margins, and an average of 363 words per page.
Episode 1 -> ~170398.8 words, ~469.418 pages
Episode 2 -> ~156576.4 words, ~431.3399 pages
Episode 3 -> ~179611.4 words, ~494.7972 pages
Episode 4 -> ~217106.2 words, ~598.0887 pages
Episode 5 -> ~170467.2 words, ~469.6066 pages
Episode 6 -> ~166666.6 words, ~459.1366 pages
Episode 7 -> ~152655.6 words, ~420.5388 pages
Episode 8 -> ~93543.8 words, ~257.696 pages
That is ~1307026 words in total, and ~3600.62 pages in total. War and Peace is 560,000 words long, with 1424 pages (paperback edition).
Damn.

Well yeah, the draft is a lackluster year, which is a shame considering the Jazz have great draft picks.
More importantly though are the CBA negotiations.
Among other things, Derek Fisher, president of the Player's Association, proved he is a complete moron (in addition to being an awful human being) by no-showing a pivotal meeting in Miami with David Stern, Adam Silver, and the owners...to go on a personal vacation.
Hopefully the players will stop being such clueless idiots and accept the new CBA Stern has offered...one that the NFL players would fucking kill for in their league, by the way.

Yeah, go Mavericks!
What a wonderful end to a thrilling series! Although of course, more media attention is spent on some obvious but completely true LeBron James quote to the media afterwards then what a badass hero Dirk Nowitzki is.
Figures.

I also read the Stranger. The ending was pretty intense, especially after Meursault spent the entire book acting like a stiff.
Existentialism is pretty interesting to me as well. My first existentialist work was Peanuts, believe it or not. Or so critics would have me believe.
I like Aristotle's views on Aesthetics and strongly disagree with Plato's... I think it's true that art is an imitation of reality but if anything, art brings us closer to reality.
