everyday stuff and movies
With school behind me (mostly), I’m catching up to my other tasks. Renewed my licence plate today, need to renew my licence as well tomorrow. Changing out the winter tires didn’t go too well, as the garage was plenty packed with other people who are also doing so. It’s odd that this many people hold off changing their winter tires till April. If I had the time, I would have got it done end of March.
Anyway, after those and going to the supermarket, I went for a movie. I watched 300. It was all the range a couple weeks ago, so I wanted to see it. It was a pretty good movie but definitely not just to the hype around it. I do love the battle scenes, they were so beautifully choreographed. The oracle dance scene was very enjoyable. I think this is the first time I’ve seen this technique used with blue/green screen. Someone must have worked really hard to get rid of any trace of air bubbles and refractions. (In case you dont’ get it, they filmed it under water then chroma keyed out the background.)
Tommorrow, my friends and I will watch Grindhouse. I’m really looking forward to Planet Terror. Actually, it’s the only part I want to watch. I’ve never been a fan of Tarantino, form the movies he directed to movies his acted in, I’d never liked a single one. Hopefully Death Proof will be tolerable.
