saw Final Fantasy last night

[HappyScrappy]

I had free tickets to a special preview screening of Final Fantasy.
It opens July 11th everywhere, but I got to see it last night b/c I'm a special boy... or at least that's what my mommy tells me.

I wanted to strangle some of the dumbfucks in the line, but once we got... well, actually, I wanted to strangle some of the dumbfucks once we sat down too - I suppose I was in the stranglin' mood.

but long story short - the preview for Spider Man was cool (although the guy next to me was cheering and stuff... I came close to slapping the fucker).

the the movie itself.... HOLY SHIT the graphics are fucking amazing and the first 10-15 mins of action are one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

the plot on the other hand is lame and if it weren't for the cool graphics (like if it were real actors) it would be hard to sit through. much like the games on the playstation, the dialog is awkward and jerky, just the way it is written/translated. and it has a stupid spirits pretense like the game.
but the visuals are amazing.
the plot is so bad though that the movie is an hour and half, but it felt like the movie was 4 hours. that and I was dieting and wanted to go to sleep anyway.

I will definitely go see it again sometime and likely buy it on dvd - but I'm really into CG and one of my friends that I taught comptuer graphics actually worked on that movie (he works for Square Soft the lucky bastard).

if anyone has any questions about the movie, I'll gladly answer them.
or if you want me to go into detail on the wanting to strangle fuckers, then I can do that too.

Go into detail about wanting to beat the shit out of the guy next to you. I've already decided to wait for the dvd.

Once we sat down, and by we I mean... well, just me. It was a stadium style seating arrangment, and I went up front where it was a great view and I could get a center seat.
I was there early to get a good seat, and then... then this dipshit and his roommate show up. I was sitting there miserable from dieting and being on ripped fuel which apparently sets off what little temper I have. I was listening to the dipshits on either side of me going on about things where they were either wrong and I was dying to stand up and tell them so, or they were just annoying, and I was dying to smack them.
Anyway, the dipshit and his roommate show up - I know they were roommates from eavesdropping on their pathetic conversation. The one right next to me was this little fat guy and I think he was Korean - although I'm bad at guessing nationalities - but he looked like both of my good friends that are Korean, so I'm just guessing. he wasn't norweigian, that I know. he had a huge ass backpack and a jacket - it was 90degrees out what the fuck?
anway, he went on and on to his roommate about "programming" shit and then after I listened, I realized that 1) he didn't know what he was talking about, and 2) it was very basic programming shit that he didn't know what he was talking about - even some markup lang shit like html. dipshit.
the other guy was apparently some business end of things. I wanted to smack them both before the movie even started.

then the spider man preview came on and the dude next to me, who had just finished saying how he was going away for 3 days to a kung fu tournament (he looked like he was going to get a serious ass kicking at that event) squeals "ooooh, the best part, previews"
then spider man preview came on, and he starts "whoo hooing" and clapping and cheering and laughing. I thought to myself, if he does this once during the movie I'll just rip his throat out right here. I even was looking to see the best way to get my hand under his fat jaw.

but he ended up being quiet until the end and I got out of there fast anyway, so that was that.

wanna hear about the dipshits in the line?
nothing makes you feel smarter than going into public in America. lines at the movies, or better yet, the airport - then you feel fit too. fat stupid people. how do they allow themselves to live?
if it weren't so much hard work, I'd totally be a serial killer.

 

[HappyScrappy]

uh oh - bad news if I'm in agreement with Steel Beast about something and dieting too...

okay, so I come up the steps and go into line and had a little chuckle - I'm a total geek and don't care that I am, I'm proud of it - I program all the time and like to talk about it - but I don't necessarily look like the level of geek that I am. but good lord most of the people in this line were very geeky - but at least most weren't fat. just general out of shape, but not fat like you see on cruise ships or the airport.

so I'm standing there in line, sweating b/c apparently that is another thing ripped fuel makes me do as well as make me get pissed off at the wind changing directions. the line consisted of a roped off area and a HUGE ass sign that said "Final Fantasy" - and there was this chick there telling people that this line was for only final fantasy preview ticket holders.
apparently this wasn't enough and there were, in the 20 mins I was in line, 15 fuckwads that couldn't grasp that. she eventually told them to get out - but the one that I really couldn't stand and wanted to toss over the railing (we were a couple of floors up and right next to a balcony) - this chick was whining that the line was long, so the chick in charge asked what movie she was looking to see - she said "AI" and then this dude walks over and says "honey, get out of that line, we are here to see AI and it is over this way. she says "but this is a line" - thanks for noticing dumbass. so he says "yes dear, but not THE line we want."
she then asks the chick in charge what the line is for, and she says a free preview screening for Final Fantasty for only the people with the special tickets. well this chick looks at the dude she is with and then back at the chick and says "well, what is it about?" the woman just looks at her - the dumb chick then looks at the dude and says "well, it is free honey, I think we shoudl see this" - he stood ther looking dumbfounded and then says "uh, honey, I already have PAID for the tickets to AI"
this apparently doesn't mean much to the dumb bitch and she then whines "but THIS movie is free"
he shook his head and walked away and then she made this huffing noise and then went to catch up with him.
she apparently couldn't get the concept that even though she didn't even know what the movie was about and wanted to see it b/c it was "free" - paying for any movie and then seeing the "free" one would be actually paying for it.

I think what set me off for being pissed at everyone there was the drive over there. I hate bad drivers - everyone thinks they are above average, esp when it comes to driving - but there are so many dipshits out there.
my favorite is when (and this happened right outside of the theater) - when someone else does something illegal and you are doing the right thing, and as a result you end up "in their way" and they honk at you.
I was so hopign the fucker that did that to me was going to pull into the parking lot next to me - I didn't have any heavy blunt objects, but I could always shove his fucking head through his passenger side window of his peice of crap car.

 

[Gilbyag]
