The end of Transformers

Yesterday evening we went to see Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and THANK GOD they said it would be THE LAST from the series, because if I see robots fighting on the highway and robots fighting on skyscrapers one more time my brain will blow up.

Honestly, I don't even know where to start so I will just say that the cast was ... welll ... problematic. You see, we have all the guys from the previous movies coming back, but instead of the already annoying Megan Fox we have the theatrical debut of ... a wooden plank:

I know, without all the makeup it may look confusing so I will try to clear things up by posting some images from the movie. Let's start with the exact same dumb wooden plank look above, only with some makeup on:

We can then go right into the middle of the action with this VERY EXCITING shot:

 

And what I can only assume whas happening behind the cameras ...

Unfortunately, showing off the butt on 500 centimeter heels and in ONE GAZILLION many different outfits didn't help too much ... Quite on the contrary, I felt as if I went in to see Transformers and every once in a while I was forced to watch a VERY poorly acted lame scene from the latest Sex and the City movie.
For CHRIST SAKE IT"S A F-ING ALIEN INVASION!!!! Who wears FIVE HUNDRED CENTIMETER HEELS to an ALIEN INVASION????  ... it was ... unbearable ...

In the other movie I was watching, as in any great Michael Bay movie, the U S of A brave and proud soldiers make another appearance and kick some serious alien robot butt, defending once again this great nation that is America and also in the process saving once again Earth from slavery in the hands of mean aliens from outer space.

So ... how bad was it? ... between watching THE EXACT F-ING SAME robots fighting each other scenes on highways and skyscrapers and watching a wooden plank parade around in fancy dresses on high heels, it was .... HORRENDOUS ...

Infamoused

Part of my games and movies week, here comes my blabbering about PS3 game Infamous.

In the wake of the Playstation Network mega-hack, when 70 MILLION user accounts were compromised, Sony thought it needs to come up with something impressive if it wants to reconcile with all those people that got hacked. So, they decided to offer for FREE to all these people a selection of some of the best PS3 and PSP games available. This is how Infamous and I met ...

The game starts off very well. There is a very very nice feeling of progression throughout the game, as the main character gathers new powers. The "I got the power!" feeling is very intense, especially towards the end when you really can (and surely will) blow some serious s#it up!! Also, during the game you can choose between the GOOD path and the BAD. I chose good, of course (?) and this means that towards the end you have to watch it because you are a mean machine of pure destruction that can really make a LOT of collateral victims... which in the end contributes AGAIN to that whoa I am so powerful feeling.

The story has some nice twists and the one at the very end managed to take me by surprise, which is quite ... surprising.

What I think is the best way I can describe the game is the way I felt after playing it, because as soon as the credits started rolling I thought to myself two things:

I want to play Infamous 2 ... now.

And ... This was cool, I want to play Infamous 1 AGAIN! But this time, I'll squash all those puny pedestrian human beings that stand between me and additional POWER!! MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The End of Harry Potter

We decided to kick off the week with Harry Potter. So ... our dirty Harry has finally come to an end ... The movie was quite OK, but it does have it's bitty problem.

I seriously don't know who came up with the idea of splitting a movie in two parts ... it sucked for Matrix, and it sure sucks for our Harry, although admitedly not THAT hard. Basically, after the first movie they were left with an epic battle for the second one. Which means that about two thirds of the movie is a big climatic battle. Which makes it quite hard to have a climax ... of the climax. So, in the end the movie feels a bit flat and doesn't really manage to create this BIG moment of confrontation between Harry and the skinhead vandal.

Oh, and remember that mean uber-uvil witch Beatrix that killed Doby, the most lovable character from the entire series? She is killed by ... a mildly revolted old cleaning lady ...?

Otherwise, the movie was OK, 3D looked quite impressive, not very intrussive, story does some twists, some more predictable than others, some more confusing, it was OK overall ...

Myeah ... it's sad to see you go Harry ... you had only just begun to manage to keep Andreea awake ...

Back to the Movies

After quite some time without movies, we have decided to come back strong this week. We will start off with Harry, continue with Transformers and finish off with something quite special, Heavy Rain, the incredible PS3 game-movie.

I'm soo excited ...

What's even better is that we will go to the movies riding the donkey, which after 1 year and a half of struggle is FINALLY hittin tha streets of Luexmburger!! yaaaaaaaa!!

P.S. Yes, that amazing trooper on the left is part two of my incredible birthday gift!

A Punch in the Santorini

So ... there we were ... in total harmony with ourselves and our surroundings after just having spent a week on the Island, when we got off the boat and received a Santorini in the face...

I don't think I've ever been asked before by so many people at once if I want to rent a car. Moving on ... actually, we didn't move on for about 30 minutes, as we had to wait for the retards at the hotel to send the coach to pick us up, even though we just spoke to them the day before. Huhm? What was that? Think I'm being to harsh with the tiny little poor hotel guys ... well ... by the end of this post you will understand why I'm not.

After loosing over one more hour at the hotel in order to get a decent room for 150EUR a night, we were finally given the HOEYMOON SUITE!!! YEAH!! And for only 150 instead of 250 per night!! And what a view it was!!

The only problem is, if I would've had to spend my honeymoon in that place, I would've jumped over that ledge without too much hesitation ... Huhm? What was that again? Unreasonable you say? It's quite beautiful? By the end of this post you will agree... moving on ...

After being literally INTOXICATED about how this is the MOST BEST PERFECT SUNSET in the universe, we actually managed to go and see it ... after we found our way out of the GOLD LUXURY SHOPS intoxicated traditional greek island ...

It was the most beautiful sunset in the world ... at least according to the owners of the bars where you could look at it ... and guess what ...

I think it's just as special as anywhere else...

Moving on with our MERCEDES, cause YEAH BABY in Santorni you either roll in luxurious brands or you don't roll at all ...

We reached the town of Oia, which I must admit is quite very beautiful...

The next day, we did some more ...

Unfortunately, all the beautiful pictures have come and gone ... and in the end all we were left with as a memory was this:

250 EUR/night

THE END

Too Awake
