geebsRented some DVDs from Oggsford on Friday. One was Ong Bak. I had heard about it and saw Oxford actually just got it. Pretty cool flick, showcasing Muay Thai. They definitely had some moves that showcased the brutality of that fighting style. The hero is pretty skilled too. You seem him doing acrobatic stuff like you'd see in a Jackie Chan or the latest line of Matrix movies, but what is really impressive is he's doing it without wires! The way the guy can flip through the air is insane! Remember that scene in Reloaded were Neo is fighting all those Smiths and they CGId him jumping from shoulder to shoulder through the crowd? In this film, the hero does it for real! And the way he mixes his high flying acrobatics with the Muay Thai style? Who knew you could actually mix the two?

turdburgler lent me the next volumes of Basara and Kare Kano. It looks like this latest Kare Kano is now caught up with the anime, so the next volume should be all new stuff. Awesome! And I know I had psyched_out's wife translate the last ep of the anime to make sense of things, but now that I've read this latest one, things make even more sense! Like why Arima seems to be so freaked out now when things between him and Miyazawa are going so well. It'll be eggciting to see how things work out. I mean, Tonomi and Sakura are gonna hook up, but his hanging with Miyazawa seems to be getting Arima's goat. I did like the scene where Asapin warns Tonomi off, because its a scene where his friendship with Arima really rings true. Usually, he's just hanging around acting silly. Anyways, I guess there are still a couple more of Basara ishes before I can see past the anime.
Now that the semester's back in full swing, there having coffee and donuts after church again. Always being the first one out, I was shocked when I didn't initially see any jelly donuts. But they were hidden under some other donuts.
And hey, a new Alias tonight! Cool.
