This is Entry 69: Con Prologue part 2

You make a sex joke if you want, I won't.

This is just a quick note that tomorrow is the first day of March & also a Sunday so I'll most likely have some free time. Starting on Tuesday I'll have less time then I've had in the past (I have a Joby type thingy).

I was thinking off making a pre-Con run down posting. Give my credentials if you will i.e. why I would/could be qualified to even give a series of posts. Look for that Tomorrow or on Monday. I want to do these before time runs away from me.

As always: Stay Jazzy.

This is Entry 68: Con Prologue

In preparation for Emerald City ComiCon which is happening on April 4th & 5th in scenic downtown Seattle, Washington. During March: I will be posting a multi-part essay of sorts on how do make your Con experience a good one. I'll break down what to do before, during & after the whole darn thing. I've been been to a number of Con's over my years of nerdity so I've some knowledge. I'll probably also do some research, see what other people say about the things. So, look for this in March.

And as always Stay Jazzy!

This is Entry 65: Brian on the Aisle #3

MOVIE REVIEW!

Taken
Starring: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Jansen & other people including one dude that looked like the guy from Grand Thief Auto 4.
Length: Hour & half or so.
Rating: PG-13 at least. Lots of violence. Some sex (nothing to graphic). No swearing ( I Think).

Summary/Review: Bryan Mills (Neeson) is a retired Government "Preventer", he prevents bad things from happening (read as he kills people). His daughter (Grace) goes to Paris with her friend. Lesson #1: don't talk to strangers, especially French strangers who might be working for Albanian sex traffickers. So, his daughter & her friend are kidnapped. But while this is happening the daughter is talking to her dad. She gets taken & the kidnapper now has the phone so the dad & the dude have a short chat:

Mills: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
Kidnapper: [after a long pause] Good luck.

So, Neeson uses his contacts to save his daughter from becoming a hooker & there is a time limit: he has like 3 days to find or he'll never find her. He goes to france & kills a bunch of people. The movie had a somewhat Bourne like quiality but with an old guy, older guy (Neeson is 52). Lots of killing with guns. Lots of fighting, jumping, running, car chases, etc. Also lots of jittery/shaky camera work. I think jittery/shaky means action! Lot of it means high action! To spoil the end: he gets her back. This movie was a lesson in extreme parenting & a lesson to not to talk to strangers. I give the movie: a 3 out of 5. It's a pretty ok movie with some cool action sequences.

Until next: Stay Jazzy!

This is Entry 64: Go Joe!

This the trailer the upcoming "G.I. Joe" movie that aired during the Super Bowl but thanks to YouTube you can now watch here on MyBlog. Enjoy!



Or for a higher quality version of it go Here.

Now I wouldn't say I'm exactly a big fan of the toys, sure I played with them as a kid: what little boy didn't? And I have some faint memories of the cartoon but that doesn't look all that bad. I reserve faint judgement until the Movie comes out because any movie can look cool in a trailer!

As always Stay Jazzy!
