Art and Movies

   So I'm sitting here alone this evening in the red glow of my room, and Shalane gives me the link to her art. The above is of course a picture of hers, and many of her others are also awesome and I recommend you check them out. The end. Post script: oh and she wanted me to mention she sells her art and does commissions.. you know you want it.

Lord of the Rings
   FINALLY saw the third of the LOTR trilogy on Friday. It was my favorite I think. I liked the head Nazgul's new hat. I think there should be a story about the nine nazgul and how they gradually became Sauron's minions.
   The catapults were mixed up though. The people in minas terith were using trebuchets, which fire at a high arch and are therefore used to fire things over castle walls and bombard cities; their city on the other hand was being attacked with waht appears to have been magonels, which fire at a flat arch amd are used against walls. I just thought I'd share that because the purpose of knowing such things is to sound smart ass about it.

Dog Soldiers
   Tonight I watched the movie Dog Soldiers with my roommate Adrian. Now see, I don't like horror movies because (A) they don't scare me, and if they did I just can't imagine how that would be amusing (B) the plot usually relies on the scariness to amuse people, therefore the plot is usually really lame (C) the characters are usually sickeningly dumb, no really they're usually so dumb it just makes it tedious for me to watch.
   This said, Dog Soldiers basically puts a squad of British soldiers in the middle of a forest with werewolves. Its like dropping a whole bunch of smart trained people into the classic horror situation. The plot however is still interesting. Altogether it makes for a very pleasant movie experience. Instead of sitting there like "omg no no no don't do that omg you're so dumb!" the whole time you're like "damn they're good.." (but not so good they're safe and happy). So... see the movie. the end. you know you love the bri'ish accents...
