Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull Ending
I don’t know how many of you caught Indiana Jones 4 and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull. I went to the midnight showing and had a good time. I screamed at the screen during a couple scenes and people laughed. That made me feel good about myself.
It’s not that it’s a bad movie. It’s actually a very fun popcorn sequel. BUT I really think Spielberg and Lucas could have ended the movie much quicker than how the did. Here’s how I think it should have ended:
Let me know what you think! I’m desperate!!!
I hate Snakes
Similar to Indiana Jones, I hate snakes. Being out in the canyon area I definitely encounter a lot of them, but today was the worst yet.
While I was eating eggs and rice, my mom went outside to throw out some garabage. Soon after I hear her scream and I go open the side door to the garage. A snake comes into the house. There’s a reason why humans built homes – to separate themselves from nature. When nature enters your home you have to defend it.
The snake went over by our staircase, which is thankfully by the front entrance. I brushed it out and then stupid enough it went back into the garage.
I grabbed the pool cleaning pool and tried to smash the snake’s head in the wall. I felt like that kid in 300 who fights a wolf. Ok snakes aren’t wolves, but you get the point.
It was too quick for my thrust. It scurried outside and wond up entering into the pond. It was there that the snake evaded me.
One day I will get this snake back… one day…
First 7 Minutes of Speed Racer
Wondering whether or not this movie will be your forte? I know I sure am. Thankfully we have the first 7 minutes of the film so judge for yourself!
Personally I’m already nauseous.
Bioshock: The Movie
There are only a handful of video games in my mind that would make for a stellar movie experience. Other than Shenmue, one of them is Bioshock. The rich and beautiful world is coming to the big screen thanks to Universal Pictures. Gore Verbinski who is the Director of Pirates of the Caribbean is going to Direct/Produce this Bioshock film! John Logan, Academy Award-nominated writer of Gladiator, The Aviator and Sweeney Todd, is in talks to do the screenplay. That’s some high caliber talent.
Obviously Take-Two and Universal are taking this film very seriously unlike Universal’s failed video game based film DOOM. Currently no release date was revealed. Bioshock 2 the video game is being released in 2009.
YouTube Widescreen Player
[Update 12/04/08: YouTube now allows for HD streaming. and
YouTube has enabled Widescreen embeds.
Updated 11/24/08: YouTube defaults to 16:9 player format, but what does that mean for the web video industry?]
YouTube’s been going under some mega changes so far this year and now they’ve updated their new player to resize itself to true widescreen resolution. For right now that only pro’s that I can notice between the new widescreen player versus the older player is that if there are widescreen black bars the majority of them will be cut off.
Is this really all that newsworthy? I say no, but the question is why does YouTube find it necessary to release a widescreen format player? There’s got to be something else that this new form of a player can offer that the old one didn’t. Hopefully they’ll let us know what exactly that is soon enough.
Right now because their new player does not embed onto third party sites we can’t show you the differences directly within this post. You can see an example here. Make sure to turn on and off the old/new player to see the differences.
I’m good at photoshop.
