Talblog: i'm a slaaaaave...

i'm a slaaaaave...

...to commercialism. okay so i know we just bashed starbucks a few blogs back, but today i failed mankind. i still don't like starbucks beverages, and their pastries are repeatedly underwhelming, however they always seem to have the cutest mug-wear. i go in from time to time for agent coffee runs and always seem to notice something that would make my hot tea look even hotter (i'm not a coffee person). today i finally caved, and for $9.95 i am now the proud owner of a happy, strawberry-covered, tall, plastic, barista travel mug. i think the cashier girl thought it was weird i wasn't ordering a beverage to fill it, but i can only lose so much money to Starbucks.....after all, i'm more a Coffee Bean girl.

on a different note:

i went with rocco to see the crew premiere of "Day After Tomorrow" last night. i think jake gyllenhall was the best part of the film, aside from the effects. overall it was frustrating and ill-timed...parts of the story were fragmented and it just kind of ended. the sweet destruction of the earth was great, but at the same time i thought it all sort of happened kind of fast. like one day you're picking flowers in a meadow and the next your 25 feet under water and ice. with what they had, they did a good job, but i'm glad i didn't have to pay for it. oh and rocco got a credit in the film, that's gotta feel good. zoic created "breath". oh i also like the actual meteorology of it all, how the deep freeze happens etc. but i'm a dork sometimes. overall, 2 stars (on a four scale).

Speaking of commercialism... apple is really winning at that game. They literally have me wanting to throw out my perfectly good mp3 player for one of their slick ipod deallies. Damn them.

I can't wait to see day after tomorrow. I hope it doesn't suck, and I think your 4 star scale doesn't have enought stars... since 50 percent is a failing grade in most states. I'd say, go 5 stars or buck up to an "out of ten rating". This ain't a hotel/restaurant guide :)

3 out of 5 sounds better than 2 out of 4, and from your review it sounds like an "alright movie" right?

hmm, i dunno, i'd probably still give it a 2.5 out of 5. while watching it, i thought "hey this is a pretty good movie", but then after i went home and started thinking about it, i didn't like it as much. FINE, maybe 3 stars. the effects were definitely cool. nope, still sticking with 2.5 stars. i just can't do it. btw jeremie, your ILM wolves in it, BLEW.

Did you get a "seasonal scone" at Starbucks?

i know, but it's part of the same monster machine. i steered clear of the scones, i've sort of sworn off all their baked goods unless i'm starving. they always look better than they taste. ALWAYS.

If anyone goes to this movie, can you see if I got a credit for the 20-30 shots I worked on and spent 6 - 8 months on, that missy just bashed ... It would be under Digital Domain area, not Zoic Studios ... look for either william mark lipsmeyer or just mark lipsmeyer if it is even there in the first place

thanks for your time
peace out
