Crap Age

Slow day at the office? ... myea, kinda ... but enough about me and more about ... crap kiddy movies!! BEHOLD!!!

We've seen Ice Age Thirteen or however much it was (5? 6?) and I can hardly think of any better way of COMPLETELY WASTING  94 MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE...

Yeah ... there's the misunderstood teenager thing, the hate/love thing, the squirrel going nuts YET AGAIN and a bunch of freaking EWOKS from Return of the Jedi!! Ewoks for Christ sake!!

... enough said ... I wonder what happened to the people who made Nemo, Wall-E, Cars (1 not the craptastic 2), Monsters Inc., Bamby .... gone ... the magic of cartoons is gone ... Thanks a lot, Hollywood, really ... NOT.

P.S.:If you do end up (by mistake) at this movie, you can however enjoy the 5 minutes Maggie Simpson featurette in the opening, it was by far more entertaining than what followed ...

Amazing Spider, Man!

When I first heard they're rebooting Spider Man, I thought it's the most stupid idea to hit Hollywood in a long long time. It's been less than 10 years since the first SM movie, and 5 years since the messy disaster that was Spider crap Man 3.

Only after seeing the movie I came to realize that it was about god damn time somebody wiped that crying baby and idiotic street dancing spider man from my memory. In the new movie, there is ZERO dancing in the streets involved, and even the occasional whining is done with much more ... manliness ... There's a kind of mix of Batman Begins and Twilight in there, and the results is ... quite good actually.

Sure, there's the occasional plot holes and the corny moments, it's not going for any Oscars, and it's no match for the mighty Avengers, but it is for sure the best Spider Man movie ever, and it deserves to be congratulated for that.


Oh, and of course, the best scene in the movie is the one with Stan Lee ... lol, that guy is so cool ...

Missing Bangkok

I don't know why ... I suddenly feel an urge to go back to Bangkok ... probably because it's the middle of July, and 12 *twelve* freaking degrees outside ... celsius ... I mean, bangkok was so SO amazingly cool. The food, the people, the places ... really amazing.

From fancy restaurants to street food and eating on the side of the canal from a lady who looks like she really knows her soup.

The crazy tuk-tuks, the PINK taxis, the energy in the air, the crazy party pink street next to our hotel ... and the sky bar sitting on top of everything ...

I even miss shopping ... shopping!! I hate shopping, but I would do it right now ... only not here.

I don't know why, but today I miss Bangkok ... so here's to you, my friend, may we meet again ...

Ferrari Drive

I finally managed to edit the drive I did in the 458 Italia, here it is:

Petrolhead Mayhem

I just realised I didn't even manage to post anything new after the Prometheus incident ... And quite a lot of things have happened. For example, I FINALLY managed to make one of my very old dreams come true when I made a short visit to the Green Chaos Monster Hell ...

the Nürburgring

yep ... raing is no fun on the 'Ring

car rental ... myeah...

anyone called for a cab?

pure madness...

The track is pure crazy and I would like all the mega-drivers who are under the impression that they know what fast driving is to do a lap and think again. On the 'Ring they will find some real drivers, who know what it means to go FAST. I don't want to say it is the perfect way to separate men from muppets, but I will say only really fast drivers can get to enjoy the experience. To be perfectly honest, I'd only qualify for a manly muppet or a muppet of a man at best ... it was at the limit, both very frightening and quite exciting at the same time. 80% of the corners are blind, meaning you have absolutely no idea what the heck comes next... unless you have someone with over 1200 laps sitting shotgun with you .... which I did (lucky me). As the man was telling me "Don't break! Turn in!" I was wondering "for real? are you freaking nuts?" ... but I was doing exactly what he was saying when he was saying ... I had a very very quick internal debate and we decided it's for the best... With all four tires squealing I would reach the end of the turn safely ... and gasp for some air quickly before the next turn came.

Unfortunately I only managed to do one lap, but it will be forever remembered as the greatest feat I achieved by car ... until I'll go there again.

Later Edit: I finally managed to find a photo of me after searching through mountains and mountains of images. So, there I am ... track attack mode

Alien Prequel

Prometheus, one of the most anticipated movies of the year has landed, so we immediately decided to check it out. I'm sad to report back that the movie does not really live up to expectations ... it starts of really well and has it's moments but runs very quickly into a wall of inconsistencies, useless characters and very very weak story writing ... I am indeed very very disappointed ...

Like for example ... what is the purpose of the HEAD in the image above? Slight insignificant spoiler ... absolutely none, it's there just for show, in the context of the movie it makes absolutely no sense what so ever that the head was in that chamber ... And speaking about spoilers, in case you've seen the trailers and one of the posters you've seen all the movie ... What was left out is the actual story, which is quite bad ... just bla bla without meaning or purpose ... And why did they not say Yes this is the Alien prequel I cannot understand ... they kept is secret as if this was supposed to be the big surprise of the movie ... bleah ... disappointed....

Back from The Beach

Aaaaaaand we're back ... from Belgium. Wha' who where what about Mexico you ask?

Well ... Yes ... let's jump back a little ... The Mexico trip was simply amazing, and the small blogger in my head is kicking me in the face repeatedly while I am writing this, for I have neglected him for too long ... why would I do such a thing ... it's not like I haven't done one ZILLION things since the last post ... but ... it's coming up a bit later below.

So ... back to Mexico.... Warm ... Beautiful ... Tasty... Colourful ... Diverse ... it's really difficult to sum it up.

And we did have some fun with our new little underwater picture taking toy ... but hopefully more on that later ...

After doing one million cool things in Mexico we came back and I took a 20 minutes drive in my favourite Ferrari, the 458 Italia, which was ... incredibly amazing.

So, that's how the fun didn't stop, but the events that followed really put a boot in the mouth of my small inner blogger ... it happened when this arrived in the mail ....

This demoniacal apparition of Diablo 3 has monopolized all the spare time I spend in front of the computer and, even though I hate so many things about it, I am from some unknown reason addicted to the idiotic clicking process it actually is.

Aaaand this brings us back to the beginning ... the belgian beach ... even the sound of that is like a paradox from a parallel universe ... and yet ... there we were for the past two days, and it was really good ... besides the water ... my little pinky is still shivering after a brief contact ...

We took a ride with the bike-quad-thingie on the walkway at sunset ... and it was yet another amazing thing ...

I know, I know, I should put up some screenshots from Diablo 3 ... I'll get to it ... right now ...

Raining in the Garden

Well ... following a tidal wave of requests to make the mustache happen, I decided to give it a try. At one point, though, A. gave me the choice of either doing something about it or sleeping in the garden. It was raining outside, so I decided my mustache was way to cool to come with me to Mexico.

So, here it is ... it's the best I could do... we've been together only for a very brief moment ...

 Hasta luego, compañeros!

Before or after? A mustache dilemma ...

I have a theory that when visiting unfamiliar places you need to experience the local flavors, try out the real deal, do as the Romans do ... when in Rome, that is. So, with all this in mind, I have decided that there is no better way to do as the Mexicans do than grow a mustache for our upcoming trip to Mexico.
However, as I've never grown a Mexican mustache before, I am not sure if I should do it before going or while there... I need YOUR help ...

The clock is ticking vote NOW!!

The Moustache ... before or while in Mexico?

It's a Bird ... It's a Plane ...

No, really ... it's a plane ... not an UFO ... a plane ... why a plane? Let's back up a little bit ...

It starts with the plane inspection ... and then ... off to the runway ...

KA-POW! who's the pilot? ... no really ... check out who's the pilot ... it is my brave love ready to take over your airspace !! Take off and landing went PERFECTLY!

She really loved it and I hope she will do it again ... as long as she comes back down safely.

Kisses and hearts ... in the air ... get it?
