Up, close and personal

Well, I'm not much into soccer myself, but beating Italy and Germany is well worth a post here! Go, boys!

Just a couple of pictures to update a bit. These are from a little island close to Singapore coast, where I almost drove a bike into a large, large reptile. It was its fault, it crossed the road without looking around :P
Cool natural coconut milk, though :)

I just got the Hellboy Companion from Previews and I'm heavily updating my map of weird Hellboy events while awaiting the movie :)

The unspeakable vault of doom!! It's not the first time I drop by, and yet they keep making me laught all the time :D Of course, I'm a Cthulhu fan, you see, so I lean towards this kind of humour :)

Have I ever commented how much I love art? This gallery is one of those places that makes me keep interest on the thing, even when I have no time to surf around. Jose Carlos has still no physical expo of his paintings, but I'm really looking forwards to see one. You should really pay him a visit and, if you've been here for a while, you know that I do not recommend so many things :) Superb!

I've been trying to catch on, after many weeks of travelling, and I did it as usual: extremely. I've watched four movies in less than 10 days: Indiana Jones and the crystal Skull, The mist, Casual Day and Iron Man.



Let's start Indy. I love Indy, that's just it. I like all four movies and he is my favorite action character. True, I like more the first and the third film, like your everyday average jane, but I don't know why people just talk so bad about this one. It's Indy, as usual! The film occurs at the 50s and, from that point on, the script is justified. Action is cool, dialogues are fun and we get Marion back! Plus I really like Mutt, he is a laugh. Not as much as the paranormal russian expert (she was the real thing), but a laugh anyways!

The Mist was a film I found bored. Just to be on the safe side, most of the people liked exactly what I did not: too much dialogue, not so much action. The characters are your basic Stephen King prototypes: the old, reliable teacher, the artist who lives in a small town, the loser who has never left town ... nothing new here. The script sort of reminded me of Halflife, like Deep Blue Sea, but DBS was much faster and fun and they both got my fav thing in the film: Thomas Jane. I guess it was too slow for me, that's it.


Casual day: something I could have watched on TV, and I think that briefs it. Not bad, but nothing special. Actors are ok, but everything in the script is to be expected and nothing special really happens. It goes basically about a "casual day" at work, where everyone has to go to activities and talk about their things and play paintball with the fellows and such. If you don't have anything else to do, not bad to spend some time.



Maybe I was not expecting much of this film, but, boy, did I enjoy it! I'm no big fan of Iron Man and I don't particularly like the actors in the movie, but they were perfect here. Plus I loved every bit of technology in the flick, specially those amazing Augmented Reality toys that Tony keeps handling all the time! This was the best superhero movie since Batman Begins, and that one was starred by my beloved, so I was leant to like it :) Do not miss this one, you'll have a good time!

If you get to this Banff lake ...

And climb all the way up to Six Glaciers plain (not in shorts, if you can avoid it :P)

You'll most likely meet many of these :)

... in this tiny island in the mediterranean, just on the border between Corsica and Sardegnia. Of the 4 people in the picture, two actually did not even jump in later. Guess who? :D
