Delayed Thoughts

I should have put this in yesterday, so I might as well do it before it slips my mind once again.

Earlier on, I wondered when would I be called in again as the one who always pulls in the most effort and commitment in a group assignment. I thought it would be past me since my Chemistry days in CIMP. But yesterday's FTV tutorial saw me to the rescue of my group with a discussion about Quentin Tarantino as a recognisable film auteur. Plus, I had to clash those ideas with another group discussing about Mr.Tarantino himself.

It was nice recalling those techniques of camera-shots I learned, and to put them to use for JRN. Now comes the dilenma of what to do for my next assignment, and how am I going to keep up before the deadline?

Choppy Movie, Happy Thoughts

Number 13 on my Movie List of the Year: Clash of the Titans.

The verdict: it's a strong resembelance to Eragon. By that, I mean it's got a crappy storyline that makes you want to wash out that bad aftertaste with something strong, but makes up for it with impressive CGI effects, especially the creation of the mythical creatures.

Pegasus and Saphira are both definitely in the same league because:
1) They are the real driving force behind the entire movie
2) Very impressive wingspan ;)

Of all the comments I've received for my writing, I'd like to thank Mr. Warren and Miss Morgan for being open and honest about their thoughts. As compressed as The Fallen Queen was, it was satirical and provocative in a good way. I must admit, I was shocked knowing that my style reminds Mr. Warren of Edgar Allen Poe, because I'm aware of Poe's writings, yet never taken the time to read or understand them thoroughly.

And after days of waiting, another review comes in for Sun Man. That makes it an average of 2 reviews per chapter. :)

I'll be heading downtown to KLCC tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick up the first of the Warriors: Omen of the Stars book, because it seems pointless to have bought the second one in the series without knowing what's going on.
