The Front Row is far too close for IMAX. I must see it again from further back. But having Heath Ledger's face five stories tall 10 feet in front of you is kind of a trip. Or Christian Bale so close you could touch... *cough* I mean, erm, brilliant acting on all parts. That's what I meant...

I sat next to a kid who tried to dress up like The Joker, but he phailed epicly compared to the real thing. Scariest thing he did was try to laugh like the Joker when "the cute redhead" sat down next to him. So after I heard The Joker's laugh for the first time, I recorded it in my brain and laughed exactly like Heath when Michael Caine next cracked a joke. He didn't mess with me for the rest of the film.

I refuse to give anything away that's not in trailers, so don't even ask.

They had this thing where when they summoned the creatures from the cards, there's be holographic projections of them that are meant to look real or something. The creatures protect your life, basically. 'Cause you have life point. And when those run down, you lose the game. But it got to where big plot crap was making it all END OF THE WORLDS~ if you lost and yeah. It got pretty dumb.

For the record: I don't like anime.

I don't have any online, since I don't have a camera or a scanner. The only way I've really been able to show anyone who's wanted to see them is with my webcam in IM when there's enough light to make them visible enough.

You only JUST beat me to insisting on that.

For the record, I've never cared about it one way or another in the first place.

That was my thought!

I only like certain anime shows, but for the most part, the only thing that interests me about them is the artwork and drawing style. I love to draw from all different kinds of anime whether or not I know who they are or watch it.

My Japanophile friend (sis, you know her as Ro) tried to get me into it. Her forcing it on me caused me to hate it. Plus most of it's fucking ridiculous.

Hurry up and call, you bastards. I heard your plane get cleared to land nearly an hour ago.

I've noticed its fans, at least in the West, have a tendency to be ... let's say, over the top.

I haven't cared for it at all in the last five or so years. I've gone as far as to say that I think it's killing individuality in the world of modern animation. I can still respect a good Ghibli film, though.
