You Know What I'm Excited About? Volume One

You know what I'm excited about this week? Zeppelins. Infact, airships in general are just a great form of travel. They're visually striking, especially when they fly overhead in that slow monolithic way that they do. Slow is also an integral part of the zeppelin experience. Some might say that zeppelins are too slow and that they're inferior to crass barbaric jet engine technology. But zeppelins are slow in a graceful way, taking their time to get to their destination. Zeppelins let the passager take time to look down on the landscape from their lofty lighter-than-air cabin.

Not only do zeppelins have that old-world charm of the turn of the 20th Century but they are so iconic. Consider how many times zeppelins make apperences in Science-Fiction and Fantasy (which as far as I'm concerened are still two very different genres!) especially Steam-Punk. Theres an inate appeal in art-deco, steam powered machines and of course zeppelins. This is why I loved Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge as much as I did, zeppelins in a fantastic setting.

Speaking of which, I never got to see Sky Capitan and the World of Tomorrow for this very reason. You see, when it came out I was but a wee lad and my parents didn't think too highly of zeppelin-centric entertainment. Maybe I'll review it someday if I ever get to see it, or any movie for that matter.

So yeah, this week I'm excited about zeppelins. Tune in next week for another exciting chapter: Sweden.

Also, I made a new video but you already knew that.

Angry Update! Videos!

I recently uploaded a video detailing my trip to the Comic-Con. Calling it a fun, unforgettable even simply would not be enough. I got to meet people who I only thought of as text on my monitor, David Malki !, Chris Hasting, and ever Leonard Nimoy. Either way, this videa sums up the experience well.

Movie Review

I saw Julie & Julia the other day. At first it was just a way of getting out of the house which I had not left in several days at that point so I wasn't expecting much. It was obviously a lady movie that would be about food and how horrible men are or some such like that. Thankfully my presumptions were wrong and I enjoyed it very much. For the first time in a while I can say I enjoyed every character, which was nice. I did notice however a shift in tone whenever the movie switched from Julia Child's perspective to Julie's, which makes sense. The world of Julia Child seemed so jovial while Julie's was just a little cynical. Over all, just an enjoyable movie to end the summer, four and a half Polands.

DELICIOUS!

Good news everyone! I just made a new video today which I'm sure you will all greatly enjoy. I'd hazard to guess it'll be awarded several gold cups. What's that you say? What ever happened to Paranoia? Don't worry progress on the map is still going swiftly and will be completed summarily. What neither you nor I can do is convince that rabble in the streets to give up their senseless struggle.
