Poke me with something!

[hils]

I'm trying to motivate myself to go to aerobics. I've only just got back from the cinema and it's cold outside, but I really should go. Someone force me.


I haven't read any reviews of this so I have no idea what people are saying about it.

I should point out that I am by no means a comics purist. I'm not rolling around and gnashing my teeth because they changed the ending slightly. Peronally I thought, apart from that, it was VERY true to the book. Probably the closest adaptation of a comic I've seen in fact.

The direction was wonderful and the soundtrack was perfect and I will be buying it very shortly.

I have to say I am eagerly awaiting the reviews of the Supernatural fangirls who only went to see it because of JDM. I remember telling Jacqui about it when I first read the book. JDM is playing an absolute twat! Will the fangirls be upset or just squee because he's in it?

He was excellent by the way. Everyone was. My only minor quibble was that Nite Owl's costume looked a bit too slick.

And I thought the change to the ending was necessary. Most of the comic geeks I've spoken to agree with me. A simulated nuclear attack resonates with people far more than a giant space squid.

Go to aerobics, you! *shakes large threatening stick*

[muck-a-luck.livejournal.com]

And don't phone it in! :p

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks! *goes*

[hils.livejournal.com]

Phone what?

[muck-a-luck.livejournal.com]

You know! Don't do a lame job! Give it your all! Do your best! Don't phone it in!

Hehe! Ok, I have never heard that phrase before. Maybe it's an American thing.

I thought the ending was better than the comic one too, it's a lot NEATER as well as being more relevant. Random 3rd party fake!alien was complicated, using Dr. Manhatton kept it in the family, as it were :p

I'll make my own post in due course, but essentially I thought it was excellant. Bit bloody at times, but then, well, it IS.

Plus, I discovered something squeeful. Ozymandias = Lex/Clark! Seriously, follow me here:

- he WEARS PURPLE
- he's the smartest man on earth
- he can catch bullets out of the air
- he thinks he knows what's best for the whole of humanity and is willing to sacrifice lives for his plans

It's like they took the arrogance of SV!Clark and gave him Lex's smarts and dress sense. I love it :p The CAF should take note if this is the kind of 'hero' SV!Clark is closest to.

Also I didn't realise it was JDM until last night!

LOL!!!! Oh, dear, that's actually very true!

[hils.livejournal.com]

I think you're getting the better end of the deal

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! Yeah, he looks very different

*gets Arthur to poke you with his pokey stick*

And that sounds waaay dirtier than it was meant to be.

LOL!!! Arthur poking me with his pokey stick could inspire me to do anything *g*
