Today's Haul





stopped by Japantown after work today to kill a few hours before heading out to Kidrobot for the release of Sket One's latest piece..figured I'd got by the usual spots to browse around and maybe pick up a magazine at Kinokuniya..

lucky for me(or unlucky cuz I'm supposed to be saving some doe for the mini YODC Crew trip to Tokyo later this year) Kinokuniya was having a sale on quite a few of their DVDs and CDs..I restrained myself from buying a buttload of stuff but I did buy 2 Aya Matsuura Concert DVDs..one was an older **concert from 2004(shit was 75%off) and the other was Ayaya's latest concert dvd release(50% off the original price)..


**just popped the DVD in and its not a concert..its a play




and this is what I picked up at Kidrobot




..with the rest of my KR figures



next on my Kidrobot I HAVE TO BUY list:


god they're beautiful!!...and $100 each to boot..not sure if I'll buy the geisha's but I definitely have to get the two Samurai figs..

Wowza! Airi PB snapshot :o

Extra Credit: Spider-Man 3


Pic from: bodypainting.co.uk


Langdon beat me to the punch. I wanted to review this when it came out...but it's taken me this long to calm down and organzize my thoughts. So, here are my notes (SPOILERS AHEAD!):

--I thought the first third of the movie was pretty good. I was right there lovin' all the Sandman stuff, and the scene where Marko struggles to reform himself for the first time was one of those cool villain-humanizing moments straight out of Batman: The Animated Series.

--Mary Jane and Harry dancing the Twist in the kitchen? What the hell was that? As soon as I heard Chubby Checker hit the chorus, I could also hear Richie Cunningham firing up the motorboat while the Fonz strapped on his waterskiis (and leather jacket).

--And seriously, what was the point of giving Harry amnesia? Just so we could see James Franco act like a retard? Newsflash: that's not acting.

--I think the old dude that played Harry's butler, Bernerd, was half-dead. He really made me appreciate Michael Caine as Alfred in Batman Begins. But Bernerd did have the best unintentionally funny line in the movie, "...I loved your father." (delivered in beautiful deadpan)

--Where was Peter's spider-sense???? It seemed like everyone was able to get the drop on Spider-Man.

--There really wasn't enough of Spider-Man turning bad while wearing the black suit. We couldn't get at least one scene of Spider-Man uncontrollably beating a thug senseless? Instead we get emo-hair Peter Parker in black clothes dancing around? How's that evil? Someone should have popped in one of the dozen or so red kryptonite episodes of Smallville if they wanted to see how to do the old "evil personality" gimmick.

--Not all the emo-Peter scenes were bad, though. The scenes at the Daily Bugle perfectly illustrated how the alien symbiote was slowly bringing out Peter's dark side.

--How was Venom so buff?

--What was up with everyone taking their masks off? This was especially distracting when Venom was doing it randomly. Why did that need to happen?

--And is it just me or did it look like Tobey Maguire didn't bother to get in shape for this one? Nice neck fat, Tobey.

--Finally, for those of you worried about it (looks at Son of Gigan), there was apparently NO fallout from Mary Jane leaving John Jameson at the altar on their wedding day at the end of Spider-Man 2. Not even a mention of that happening.

Spidey 3


I finally watched Spiderman 3 yesterday with former YODC contributor Thongchai Jaidee and I cried...why?..cuz that movie was just plain awful..seriously it sucked BALLS...why you ask?..well here are a few reasons:



  • they tried cramming too much backstory into the first 30 minutes of the film
  • Sandman's "origin" was just stupid..you'd think the military would secure they're top secret goverment experiment with more than just a chainlink fence that any joe schmoe could simply hop over AND to have Sandman turn out to be Uncle Ben's real killer was just a simple bullshit way to work him into the story
  • too much singing and dancing

  • not enough "action"

  • somewhat a spoiler......at the end of the movie, Sandman apologies to Spidey for "accidently" killing Uncle Ben and what does the webslinger do?...lets the Sandman blow away in the wind like..uh...sand...

  • movie was too freakin LONG and not in a good you don't even notice way


now I tend to enjoy bad movies(like the Star Wars prequels, they're pretty awful but I've watched all them more times than I'd like to admit and uh..DC Cab...can't beat having Mr. T and the Barbarian Brothers in the same movie) but this movie was just plain bad...I think I threw up my hands and yelled "give me a fauckin break..." several times during this movie(especially when Sandman happily blows away in the wind)...you know..I think I'd rather watch Ang Lee's Hulk again than this..



Dance?!! You Bastards...Dance Like The Wind...

I'm pretty much out of the loop when it comes to what is "in" and whats "out" with the kids these days but apparently humping furniture is definitely IN
