Hi there. Forgot to mention that I checked out Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines a couple of weeks ago. What did I think of it? I liked it. But, only as a stand-alone movie.

Now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the movie. Several scenes I especially enjoyed, with the chase scene that had Arnold hanging on to a crane swinging through the steets topping the list. Arnold was, of course Arnold with his classic one-liners and deadpan reactions. I also liked the female Terminatrix as well. First of all, she was freakin' hot!!! Plus she was lethal as well, saying very little dialogue. I swear she said about 20 words the entire film. She's reminds me of Robert Patrick who played the evil T-1000 in T2. When that film came out, no one knew him before. Of course we know who he is now. Keep an eye out for this one! I see her in some major stuff down the line.

Now, I admit, the plot was kind of weak. And the ending should pretty much end all of the time travel link that made up the Terminator films. Still, all in all, it was a good film. Just go into it as a stand alone film that's away from the series. As far as I'm concerned, the series ended with T2. And I know it's just one fan's opinion and it probably won't mean much but I seriously hope that this ends the series. PLEASE don't make a Terminator 4!!

Now what to watch next? I'm looking at two films, Pirates of the Caribbean or The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Now my original plan was to see LXG, but lately I've been hearing good buzz about Pirates. Not just from the critics, whose words I take with a grain of salt, but also from my friends as well. So this weekend I will see either one or the other. Which will it be? I'll let you know.

Another movie note: I understand that "28 Days Later" is now showing an alternate ending in addition to the one currently in the film. The new darker ending will be seen after the credits have rolled. Now I like this film. It definitely lived up to the buzz. But am I willing to plunk down more money to see the same film but with the new 4 minute ending? I don't think so. I'll take my chances when the DVD comes out later.

And finally, I want to give a shout out to my newest online friend Colin from Canada. Yet another international pal added to the list. You gotta love the World Wide Web! Anyway, welcome to the Network, bud!!

Blog at you later!

Talkin' about my favorite heroes:
Spider-Man: First of all, I LOVE the new animated TV show on MTV. It rocks, from the cool techno-style theme music to the unique animated style, a blend of regular animation and computer rendering. So far I've seen four episodes and each one is excellent. It's funny, smart, sharp and is in step with last year's big screen blockbuster. If you haven't checked it out, it airs on MTV every Friday night at 10PM (ET) with two new shows from now till August 22nd. If these guys are smart, they should release the season on DVD pretty soon.
Another thing about the web-slinger. Have you seen the poster featuring Spidey's newest villian for the upcoming big-screen sequel, Doc Ock? It's very cool. If there was one thing I hated about the first movie (and I loved the movie), it was the Green Goblin and that stupid ass helmet/mask he wore!!! I mean, what the hell did that come from? But with Doc Ock, it looks really cool and almost straight from the comics. Tumor has it that the new trailer will be out in November. If this is anything like the poster, I cannot wait to see it.
BTW: Spider-Man 2 is out July 2, 2004. Mark your calendars now!!
Batman: I saw a fan made eight minute short the other day, called Batman: Dead End. I was very impressed! Now don't expect a deep plot or anything, after all it's only eight minutes and it was supposed to be a demo reel to showcase the director's talents. But considering that, it's very cool! I won't tell you the plot, but it does involve the Caped Crusader and The Joker. If you want to check it out, go to The Force.net websiteand see it for yourself.
The Hulk: For those of you who were disappointed that the big screen movie didn't hit it out of the park (like me) good news: the classic 70s TV show is back on the SciFi channel weekdays at 6. Now here's my thing: They released the original pilot episode and the three TV reunion movies on DVD (of course to fuel the hype for the movie), but they have yet to release the entire show's five seasons yet. Hopefully they will rectify this and release it soon.
That's it for now, do-gooders. Blog at you later!
