Harvester of Eyes

Was at the optician today to get a paper that my sight was good for the driver license. I usually brag about my excellent eyesight as I can make out small object far into the distance and has done pretty good on these test earlier... not so much this time. My genetic heritage is beginning to make itself apparent (both mom and dad need glasses and the same goes for my half-sister and 2 of my regular sisters). Apparently I have a weak leaning toward nearsighted, nothing obvious but still, it shatters my view on myself as this near hawk-like eyesight despite having genes that went against it. Oh well, what am I gonna do about that? I might even look good in glasses, but then I probably skip the long-hair savings.

Even met a friend on the bus down, which I didn't see (makes a lot more sense now does it not?) until I sat down. Nice to have someone to talk with for a couple of minutes. Anyway, got most of my movies today and I'm currently watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. Awesome movie, but unfortunately I couldn't help but have a bad feeling down my spine as I put it in the PS3. The first thing I see is this montage of the trilogy films and then the fourth movie preview. Do I have to see this starting up everyone of these movies? Well, okay if I bought them one and one that they advertise their movies, but I bought a box-set including all four movies! What's the point? It just delay me viewing the movies for nothing.

What about the other movies? Well, Wizards is okay. Good points made about war, nice intro and some good musical scores, but the voice-acting is not that good for some character and frankly, the storytelling is kinda boring. Of course you're still watching the movie due to the very... transparent clothing... on one of the main-characters... yeah... fan-service. And don't get me started on Heavy Metal. Of the seven different anthology stories (counting the intro and the ending as one as it is the framework of the narrative) half of them contain at least one more or less fan-service moment... shown very... detailed... yeah... what were they on? (*two aliens start spreading some white stuff on the floor and they quickly inhale it thru there noses*)... okay... I got it. Otherwise the movie is very peculiar. Some segments are better then others, the music is awesome and a very special experience altogether.

The final one I saw was Willow. Not as good as I remembered it. Of course the first time I saw it I ended up seeing the end while the witch turned the protagonists to pigs. How awesome wasn't that for a kid. Oh well. Tomorrow is three more Indiana Jones movies and hopefully the Fire and Ice movie will appear.
