Guild City

Saturday, July 10th, 2010

I was inspired by Dani’s The Guild mashups, and wanted to make one of a Sin City poster/dvd cover.. Instead I ended up with a Sin City inspired wallpaper.

Since this was originally supposed to be a mash up of the movie poster, Clara was to be edited in last. However as I changed my mind in the middle and made a desktop background, the element where she was supposed to be did not work well for a wallpaper.. And adding her in with the rest of the cast would at this point mean making the whole picture from scratch :/

10 points to the first who spots the little “photoshop disaster” :)

The poorly illuminated knight

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

I saw the latest batman movie last night, and considering all the hype around it, I find myself somewhat disappointed.

The plot is pretty uninteresting for the most part, but not that bad either, it’s like an average action movie.

There where a few things that annoyed me:

  • They could have killed the joker at 4-5 times at the movie, saving lots of people.
  • Heath Ledger’s acting was OK, nothing more.. If he had not offed himself with a bad drugs combo nobody would give a shit or suggest him getting an oscar.
  • Batmans voice sounds like Homer Simpson with a cold.. SERIOUSLY.. it’s off putting!
  • Nobody notices 50-100 barrels of explosives being moved into a hospital or a ferry.

And finally.. “Dark knight”?

Batman is not Dark.. He is Emo.. There is a big difference.
Rorschach (Watchmen), V (V for Vendetta), Marv (Sin city), The punisher, Wolverine (X-men) are dark, and they get the job done.

Batman is a black teletubby who like superman is never going to solve the problem by killing his deadly enemy, but instead play a weird form of catch and release, which gets LOTS of people killed, but still batman is sooo guilty when the joker kills a few people demanding that he expose himself.

At least this movie was not as HORRIBLE as Batman Returns. Still.. Batman = Pussy

300

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Daaamn, I saw 300 last night on the cinema, and it kicked ass.. I actually want to see it again today!

I had high expectations after the last Frank Miller based movie (Sin City), and tough 300 started out kind of slow, it really lived up to this expectation.

The story itself is pretty simple, but it’s filled with excellent characters and lots of beautiful violence :)

The movie has received some criticism for not being historically correct, and for making Persian or ‘The Glorious Nation of Iran’ look like a bunch of barbarian monsters.
First of all, of course it’s not very historically correct.. It is a story about 300 heroic good-guys fighting hordes of bad-guys, if I wanted to watch Discovery or National Geographics I would have stayed at home.
And regarding Irans complaint.. What the hell?? they complain that a fictional movie about Persians 2500 years ago make them look bad? I really doubt the vacation paradise that is Iran is going to lose any respect from the rest of the world because of this movie.. The same reason I can’t loose my giant pink elephant.
