The Bomb Shelter

Hitchhikers and Historical Warfare

So, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was a pretty decent movie. I know I used to do full movie reviews on the blog, but I'm not really up for a lengthy schpeal right now. Suffice it to say, I liked it for it was, and fully expected a movie that was based on three sources that contradict each other (book, TV series and radio show) to be different than those sources. Go see it, but be prepared for new stuff.

Also, Sam Rockwell is a genius.

Anyway, I've been playing alot of Romance of Three Kingdoms and Dynasty Warriors lately, so I went searching and found an online copy of the book Romance of Three Kingdoms. Um, wow, it's a really good read. Somewhat epic, but it really has a story-teller feel to it, and you get that sense of a sweeping epic from it. I'm quite enjoying it.

Be warned, though. It's long... like 120 chapters or such.

And I'm still working on my 101 in 1001 list. Not much to update there today, but soon. I've got Ed Wood (1994) and Amadeus (1984) to watch over the next few days.

Finally, did some improv again for the first time in ages this weekend. For anyone in the Edmonton area, you should check out Pavlov Improv. Every Saturday night (for at least the next month, most of Edmonton's arts community takes a break over the summer festival season) at 11 p.m. $5 at the door.
