Brief Thoughts
Guess I can post tomorrow, but a few brief thoughts...
1-Guess by now you might have heard some of the rumblings from people speaking out against the new Ang Lee movie "Brokeback Mountain", right? Well in one discussion about it it was compared with The Chronicles of Narnia movie and, well, the person said Narnia made more money on it's first week than Brokeback Mountain would make in it's whole run. Yeah. That's all well and good but Narnia is not going to break even at this rate if it continues underwhelming at the box office the way it is. Two weeks gone and the movie has only made 50% or so of it's cost back? That is not a good sign, especially since the movie is going to continue to downgrade in ticket sales as the weeks past! Narnia is in trouble, while Brokeback Mountain, which probably didn't cost 150 million to produce, should at least break even (if not make a small profit) which is more than what Narnia can promise!
2-OK, who is playing True Crimes : Streets of NY? As you probably know the game has become the latest magnet for M for Mature video game haters, so that means having to listen to the whiney folks over at FOX News (who seem to use the words "fair and balanced" as more of a gimmick to attract viewers than a solid commitment to viewers) complain about sex and violence in video games.
Me? I'll stick to renting it for review. I have no desire to own this game no matter how M for Mature it is. I'll save my money for the next Grand Theft Auto game.
3-Speaking of things you may or may not do, who amongst you devoted BloodRayne game fans are going to drag yourselves to the theaters at the start of January to watch a so-called "BloodRayne" movie that doesn't even seem to come near to the video games from what I've seen on it. Mind you, though, I have not seen much so maybe you might be pleased with it... but in all considerations that this movie has been effectively given a theatrical burial during the quiet month of January (people who cranked out Academy Award caliber movies and are trying to keep said movies on the judges minds prior to selection are more concerned about this month than anyone else) somehow I don't think this movie is going to be winning many fans hearts... but we'll see.
That's that for now. I'll see you tomorrow, good night, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and take care! (Only a few days left to finish last minute shopping!)
