Random weekend stuff
Friday I tooled around on the dirt roads near Holyoke and Askov, found some nice photos.
Then I came back and learned how to make podcasts, time consuming yet fun. But I have no place to really host ‘em so it may be a dead project.
Saturday, went and saw a few movies (can’t remember the last time I went to a movie). Saw Sin City, and Robots. (btw, the new theater complex in Canal Park is easy to skip from movie to movie in). I like Film Noir type movies but still had plenty of trepidation as I heard it is pretty violent. It is VERY violent, and based on a comic book. Generally I dislike shoot ‘em up/violent movies and find comic to film translations to be tedious and played out. I guess part of what I am saying is my film dislike quotient is very high. But, you know I liked Sin City, it defiantly is a “big screen” experience. If you are going to see it, see it while it is out. The feel/mood/effects of this movie is well realized. The plot, eh, could be better, but is slightly above average, and considering it IS from a comic book you can only expect so much. I was pleasantly surprised. Robots was disappointing, it looked good, but I didn’t care for it. Reminded me of Antz for some reason.
I found a place that (most likely) will sell my photographs, so that is encouraging. And…
Went to see the Keepaways, loud and boisterous and fun. And it is always great entertainment watching moshers.
