Well, I'm on vacation this week--heading up to the cabin on Wednesday, so reeeally looking forward to some nice peace and relaxation lakeside. In some bigger personal news, I've finally started writing the prequel novel, which is the main reason for no new deviation this week (that and my Sin vs. Braska's Final Aeon didn't garner too much interest--no biggie, though). Anyway, so far the book is going well. I'm closing in on the end of the first chapter, and really ended up fleshing out a good handful of characters on the fly through their introductions.

The good news on top of that is the girlie is going to start pimping the completed book to agents--she's a networking maniac in the indie movie biz, and it'll be interesting to see what comes of that. Also, she's designing a website for the book to help sell the book to potentially interested parties, so to that!

Let's put the proverbial baby to bed with a couple quickie movie reviews. The Summer movie season has kinda fizzled out early, with a good few dead weeks in between the alleged blockbusters.

UP
Further proof that Pixar is one of the last bastions of actual creativity in Hollywood, disproving the assumption that "there are no new ideas." The previews lead you to think it's one thing, but the movie is so damn touching and heartfelt that any time they'd show that damn picture of the old dude's childhood sweetheart I got all choked up. Yeah I know, I'm pathetic.

THE HANGOVER
Saw this one today. It was good fun, not necessarily a theatrical requisite, but fun nonetheless. Highly reminiscent of Very Bad Things, which, to be honest, was a far more sordid black comedy (not sure I'd call Hangover a black comedy, though).

So, that's it for now. I'm hoping Summer picks up some steam, but it looks like it'll be pretty spotty from here on out. Terminator was a bust, so I'm hoping Transformers 2 turns out better.

Till next time, see ya!
