And it felt good.

I’d like to start today’s post by wishing a very Happy Birthday to Patrick Stewart. Because we’re friends. Or we, at least, should be.

So, yeah, last night. Saw Pacific Rim. Didn’t expect much going into it. I wanted to see dudes (and ladies) in Mech suits beating up giant alien monsters from the ocean. Was it all I had ever hoped for? Yes it was.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, watch this:

It was pretty much what the trailer advertised. All done in Guillermo del Toro’s style. And guest starring Ron Perlman, of course.

When you watch it, because you know you want to, just try to have fun. It’s like Cowboys and Aliens in that way. If you watch it expecting a fun action movie, and don’t watch it analyzing plot, dialogue, etc, then you’ll enjoy it. This is not a film. This is a movie. Watch accordingly.

Also, if you are wondering where you know the Japanese girl from, she was Bang Bang in The Brothers Bloom. Which is a brilliant flick if you haven’t seen it. I wonder if I own that?

So, other than organizing my movies to see what I own or not, I will be studying most of the day. What am I studying? Just reviewing what Larry Jenkins can do. Let this be fair warning to my fellow teammates, I have it on good authority that we are going to be fighting someone tonight that knows all of our classic tricks and is prepared for them. E.g. learn some new tricks before tonight.

And that’s all I have to say about that. Have a great weekend. More soon. ~SC
