So Aaron and I went to see X-Men: The Last Stand the other night. It was just ok. I gather this one was done by a different director than the first two, and for me there was a noticeable difference. There was more cheesiness and less character development in this one. That said, there was still plenty of action to keep us entertained. It just felt a little routine and unimaginative, but a fine, mindless, popcorn movie nonetheless.

Listening to:

Santogold

Artist: Santogold

Reminds me of The Go! Team with half of the bouncy happiness drained out and replaced with M.I.A.

Last watched:

The Wrestler

Director: Fox Searchlight

If there's one thing Aronofsky knows how to do, it's how to portray bleakness.

Reading:

Anathem

Author: Neal Stephenson

One of my favorite things about this book is that in this fictional world there are names given to ideas that ought to have names in the real world. For instance, Diax's Rake is the idea that you shouldn't believe something just because you want to. The name itself isn't that important, but I like that Stephenson recognizes that some ideas deserve to be acknowledged.

Playing:

Red Dead Redemption

Publisher: Rockstar Games

Like GTA in the Old West, but so far, more interesting. I just hope that the buddy characters don't require the same kid-gloved hand-holding from GTA4.
