All Hail Empress Aurora, Lord and Savior of the Hive!

Watching "Black Sheep" a movie about genetically engineered killer sheep and were-sheep in New Zealand.

Awesomeness lol.

I have heard that that is really funny.

 

[Bloosquig]

Yeah it was pretty funny. I keep sneaking up on my wife and "baah'ing and it's driving her nuts. That alone makes it worth watching the movie.

It has been a quiet week in the hive it seems. Where are everybody. Last week the summer came to Finland. It was near freezing one day and the next day trees grew leaves and it was over 20C outside. The best possible weather for May Day.

I'm not sure what happened to everyone.. I think a lot of people ended up mentally going on vacation and figuratively decided to wait in the invisible line for Iron Man's opening. That or they were abducted by aliens and went through a week long anal probe session. I hope it wasn't the latter.

On the bight side, I got new cordless keyboard. Too bad it's reception sucks and it often misses key strokes.

Wireless Internet + Cordless keyboards/mice = not a good idea

 

[Blackrat]

Yeah, I've never liked wireless keybs/mice. They don't work like they're supposed to unless it's one of those that cost way too much.

On another note, Iron Man was good. even my GF who isn't much into these marvel-movies loved it. Too bad our local small-town cinema stopped it before the credits ended. They always do that, it was the same with Pirates of the Caribbean. Have to go and see it again in a bigger place.

I've been busy.

Wrote a review about Iron Man. Fun movie.

As for stopping the movies before the credits end, they can actually lose their right to show pictures if they do that. That's a big deal to the movie theatres.

 

[Blackrat]

Well I guess they think it's not worth to show the credits for two. By the time they cut it it was only me and my gf in the theater anymore. I think no-one else around here can even imagine that someone would put something worth watching after the credits . I complained about it after the Pirates and they just said basically "Tough Luck". If I wasn't so lazy I wouldn't even go to the place anymore, but the next place is just too far away for me.

Good review BTW. Pretty much my thoughts also.

 

[Relique du Madde]

What sucks is that all the local stores seem to be content with screwing the populace over by only selling wireless keyboards except one old outdated Microsoft corded keyboard which costs 50 bucks (wtf). I'm pretty sure that if I decided to drive the 20 minutes to the local Frys I might have found a corded keyboard, but unfortunately I didn't have the time.

Good review BTW. Pretty much my thoughts also.

Thanks, I try.

My general goal in a review, it to let someone know why I liked or disliked something without telling them much about the actual thing to avoid spoilers. Some of the best movie and game reviewers do that, and I find those reviews more useful, even if I don't agree with the actual rating.

Heck, Ebert has occasionally given a movie 1.5 stars, and then went on to say how much he enjoyed the film, even if it was bad.

Since this is the 1000th post in this hive do I get to start new one? I'll do it anyway!
