Screw Planetside.

ANGER ENSUES!@!

Something I like to do on the internet is sign up for beta tests. I sign up for practically every beta that I can find, and recently I haven't been getting into ANYTHING. I didn't get into Shadowbane, even though thousands and thousands of people got in. I haven't gotten into Planetside yet, and I signed up for that THE DAY betas opened. I'm probably not going to get into the FFXI beta either. How do I know? Just my luck, really. I haven't gotten into anything lately, except for Fung Wan Online, which sucks, and Rubies of Eventide, which is SPYWARE. Screw Shadowbane, and screw Planetside.

I saw Bulletproof Monk tonight, and I liked it. It wasn't the best kung-fu movie I've seen by far, but it had its funny moments and it was generally a good fictitious kung-fu movie. The storyline got really cheezy about halfway through when the Nazis started attacking full force, and the main bad guy was just a sucky bad guy in general. It was very unrealistic, but the movie was about a mystical scroll in which the person who reads it gains absolute power over the world. In other words, I don't think realism was their main objective. I just considered it to be an Americanized kung-fu/comedy that takes place in modern times and in the US, rather than in the past and in China or Hong Kong. And I think they did a pretty good job of maintaining the surreal feeling that kung-fu movies usually have. A lot of the moves people do seem impossible. This isn't bad special effects, this was the point. Watch a good Jet Li movie like Once Upon a Time in China, and then say that all of the moves in it are physically possible. You could say it, but you would be lying.
