Took our friend's to Dracula's on the Gold Coast as a special treat the other night. They thought we were going to Outback Spectacular, but were pleasantly surprised when we arrived there. Outback next time! The venue was a lot of fun, and the performers went out of their way to entertain, and be really helpful and pleasant. The atmosphere was great, and...
Now this looks more like it. If they'd made the first one R rated instead of that PG-13 abomination it would have been much better. This one looks awesome! They've actually given us blood this time, and kick-ass combat scenes. Finally an actual movie for adults! Now as long as the studios don't screw it up, it should be great.Check out the trailer...
Had a go photographing the Lunar Eclipse last night. It was a bit tricky, because it was overcast and the clouds were forever drifting in front of the moon - particularly challenging when you have to hold the shutter open to get enough light to photograph the event in the first place. Luckily I got some good shots, and it was a chance...
Please make this movie someone? If it looks this good now, imagine what it could be with some serious time, money and effort behind it. View it before its gone!And here's the first one in case you missed that before. ...
The Halo movie had better get made, because if the stuff Weta keeps showing off is any indication, it would be freaking awesome! Check out this amazing Warthog they've put together, along with the authentic looking Marine guy. This looks just like the game, only better! I can't understand why Microsoft wouldn't just pony up the cash to get this film made. If...
I've never used the video plugin before, so here's a short video of our current office space, so I can test it out. Note the supremely cool Death Jr on my desk, behind the disgusting amount of paperwork to process. I took this with my new w850i - pretty good phone, but a bit disappointed with the minimal amount of memory it came...
I'm having some issues with my job: they don't pay me on time, I'm eight months behind on my superannuation because they haven't sorted it out, and promises in general have so far failed to materialise. I don't blame them, most of the problems are caused by clients not paying on time, although I think they need someone to manage the administration. And...
Went to see Die Hard 4.0 last night. I was surprised it wasn't a complete abomination, as some of the reviews had suggested as much. I'm still disappointed though that they shot for a PG-13 (bizarrely it was rated M here though). It's a Die Hard movie, so you expect buckets of blood, and swearing, and violence. Bloodless violence seems a bit pointless,...
Beeb is driving me mad at the moment. He's being bullied so badly at school, that he's off until they fix up the bully problem. Which means I've drawn the short straw, and I'm taking him to work with me. Ordinarily that would be fine, but since all the bullying started up, he's being quite difficult to deal with. I can't get him...
Wow what an awesome movie! Visually its very impressive. It's certainly very stylized, and I like that it adhered to the look of the graphic novel. The CG effects are seamless, and it's quite impressive that it was shot on green screen, since a lot of the environments look so realistic. The story is well written, and well acted. It is quite graphically...
We went out from Redlands on the ferry to McLeay Island on the weekend. The inlaws are looking to purchase a holiday property on the island, so we drove around looking at blocks of land and houses. Problem is Ros is very specific about what she wants, and when your looking for a site with a view of the water, unless your down...
aka."The Longest Post Title I've Ever Written". Dentistry is a license to print money - I'm in the wrong profession. I got given a treatment plan today from my dentist. Okay so I went without treatment for 11 years so my kids could get the things they needed, but nothing prepared me for $2,500 worth of required dental work - and the wife's...
Finally Muppet Show Season 2 is shipping in the US. Not too much longer to wait, it's supposed to be out here 14th November. I can't wait! It's almost a year late now - let's hope its uncut this time. I'll probably place a preorder. Here's the link if your in Oz and want it. Finally Muppet Show Season 2 is shipping in...
Micky and I absolutely loved Shaun of the Dead, so we were both quite excited when we heard that Hot Fuzz was coming out. And we weren't disappointed. It was great fun! Lots of comedians in the cast, lots of witty British humor, some fun poked at American action films, a really good story. What's not too like! I highly recommend this film....
McFarlane's Toy's are showing off more peeks at the new Halo 3 range of collectibles. These look really awesome, especially the Warthog. My little fella's gonna go nuts when I show him these. Click here for the original article. ...
Big announcement at Comic-Con that Robert Kirkman, creator of the excellent Invincible, is collaborating with Todd McFarlane of Spawn.At last year's con, Kirkman challenged McFarlane to do more comics, since he's been out of circulation for some time. He accepted the challenge, and they've announced their new title, Haunt. Look for the new title to hit shelves early 2008.I hope this doesn't detract...
Oh god my shoulder is itching so much! Its torture, itching almost constantly. I know its healing but I just want to claw at it frantically. I can't wait to get the stitches out. The doctor must be frigging kidding if he thinks I'm going to let him near my nuts. Imagine the itching down there, not just from the healing but also...
Wow my little man is seven today. I can't believe it! It seems like only yesterday we bought him home, with tiny little fingers and toes. Time just flies by. Now it's almost hard to remember those times. We tell him the story on his birthday, how he decided he wanted out while we were playing Diablo II, the 125kph rush to the...
Well I survived the dreaded biopsy on Saturday. I just have to wait for the results to come back now - hopefully it'll all be okay. Dr Wong did a good job, and was very patient. I think I probably left some finger dents in the surgical bed, but overall it wasn't too bad in the end. He caked on the anaesthetic an...
Well it's happened again - another birthday has rolled around. Its kind of sad when you get older that it's no longer a thing of excitement, but more quiet relief that I've survived another year and I'm still on the planet. I guess it's never a particularly happy time because I don't have my biological donors to share it with, and like Xmas...
