The Battle in Seattle - Trailer
Ardellis | August 22, 2008
My cousin Judy sent this to me a few days ago. Some of the footage they use in the trailer was stuff that she actually shot during the WTO protests.
Watch here.
The Golden Army
Ardellis | August 4, 2008
Saw Hellboy II yesterday. I’m always ready for a sequel to be a lesser movie than the original, but this one was a pleasant surprise. Fun and cheesy. And they gave Abe Sapien a bigger part, which was very nice.
And Luke Goss as Prince Nuada? Beautiful. Deadly. Graceful. Really amazing to watch. The fight choreographers [...]
Barbie Goes S&M?
Ardellis | July 26, 2008
Um. What?
It seems that KTLA in Los Angeles think that Black Canary is a bad role model, and Barbie shouldn’t dress like her. Their story is online here.
Yeah, right. ‘Cause we all know that what you wear is so much more important than what you do or why. Nevermind that fighting evil and saving people [...]
Dr. Horrible!!
Ardellis | July 19, 2008
Go and see Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. See what Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, and Neil Patrick Harris did with their summer vaca… I mean, their free time during the writers’ strike.
Go now. It comes down tomorrow!
Supercool Birthday Present
Ardellis | July 11, 2008
My birthday was last weekend, but my husband made me wait until last night for my birthday present.
Can I just say that the Dropkick Murphys and the Mighty Mighty BossTones rock?
I mean, I knew it before, but last night at Lowell’s LeLacheur Park just blew me away. Seriously. The BossTones have still got it. I [...]
But Where Will They Keep It?
Ardellis | July 5, 2008
Human behavior fascinates me. The bizarre things that people do.
Why on earth would anyone steal Ian Curtis’s headstone? And why would they wait until 28 years after his death to do it?
Indy Lives
Ardellis | June 16, 2008
Saw the new Indiana Jones film yesterday afternoon, and it is huge fun. Cheesy monsters and cheesier bad guys, with a nice big helping of preposterous defiance of physics on the side, all covered in gooey sweet special effects.
Harrison Ford is getting old, yes, but he’s still very much the man who originally made archeology [...]
Awesome
Ardellis | May 12, 2008
That’s the first adjective that comes into my head when I try to describe Iron Man. It’s just, well, awesome. The casting. The acting. The special effects. Especially the suit. Gods, the suit is just stunning.
And the candy at the very end is well worth sitting through the interminable credits.
How to Traumatize a Pet in One Easy Step
Ardellis | May 11, 2008
Two of our friends got Andy a 12″ tall remote control dalek for his birthday. It was almost as big a hit at the party last night as their six month old daughter.
The cat is going to need therapy. Possibly the dog, too.
