WTF- They're making a Donnie Darko sequel, but it'll probably suck.

Donnie Darko is my favourite movie of all time. Fullstop. The intriguingly sci fi story, complex production, amazing acting all came together to make in my opinion the greatest movie of all time. But anyway, they're making a sequel.

When I first saw this i was so so so excited, then i saw that

• Richard Kelly (Writer/Director of First Film) has NO part in making it.
• The only Actor coming back is Daviegh Chase (his little sister).
• It's only about his sister.
  

Sequels usually suck, and i think this is gonna suck hard. Chris Fisher is directing (Nightstalker) and i really can't see him making the Donnie Darko universe any better, or even making a film that comes close to the amazing original.

The plot seems to be, Samantha Darko is driving across the desert in 1995 with her friends and wierd shit happens. Sounds very shitty sequel to me.

Sequels that don't have the main charachter, SUCK. That's just how it is.
I'm really dissapointed, I liked "Southland Tales" a bit (Richard Kelly's newer film) but not really that much, and i would have very much liked for him to return to direct at least. }

The new director had this to say:

“I am a great admirer of Richard Kelly’s film and hope to create a similar world of blurred fantasy and reality. Donnie’s not in [the new film] but there are meteorites and rabbits.”

(quote from Digital Spy)

But really, Is it going to work?

Oh well, i'll certainly go see it, I'll have too.

Sophies World (some philosophy)

I read a book recently called Sophie's World, By Jostein Gaarder, and it was a extraordinary novel that was quite badly written. The premise is, a young girl named Sophie is sent two strange letters. One has the questions: "Who Are You? and Where Does the world come from?" and another is a strange letter about a girl named Hilde's birthday. Sophie begins receiving a correspondence philosophy course from a elusive individual who sent the first letter and continues receiving strange letters about Hilde. The plot thickens, into the realms of meta fiction but basically its an introduction to philosophy disguised as a children's book. I recommend most people read it, if only for the philosophy value, however the writing is in parts terrible, the dialogue is paper thin (half the words sophie utters revolve around:"you'll have to explain that") but then in the end the bad writing actually kind of makes sense, although possibly not on purpose. The twist is good, but i was a little dissapointed by the end.

But anyway off the book and onto philosophy. I'm gonna ask a question, and your gonna answer it, in the comments.

If you were about to die, what would you regret not doing? However, if you hadn't died would you ever have done it?

Downloading A Single Song

Many people know of torrents and albumhuntlike sites for downloading music, but they lack a (free) option for an individual song. There is nothing more annoying than getting a whole album for a single. The best way, i find is to either

find it on youtube, then use vixy.net or the like, to convert the video to an MP3 format.

OR

find it on the bands myspace (better for less mainstream bands) then use file2hd.com to download the song.

theres plenty of other downloaders than the two i provided.

the two links (if you need copy paste) are:

Halo Games

WTF is with the gaming communities obsesesion with the Halo games? Halo is a standard, quite fun, FPS game. But thats what it is, standard. It doesn't break gameplay boundaries (Half-Life breaks boundaries) and it doesn't bring super amazing graphics into play. (Like Crysis)

It's probably just my bias because it's made by microsoft, who are awesome and shit at the same time.

The multiplayer for Halo 3 is pretty good, but the twiddly little xbox controllers make it pretty hard to aim if your used to a good ol keyboard and mouse.
What happened to PC games anyway? Now all we have is world of arenacraft and games that are on every console.

Cans Festival

The cans festival is a graffiti/stencil art show that is shown underneath the waterloo station. It was organised by notorious (and AMAZING) street artist Banksy. One of my favourites was the kid drawing KFP (kentucky fried pigeons). KFC btws, are horrible horrible people. The security wore yellow overcoats charachteristically worn by policemen, but instead of "Police" on the back, they had "Polite".
