Quote from: evilberryclockWhere are when? I'll be there hopefully.

If I get it completed on time, it will be at Trinity College some time during Hallowe'en afternoon/evening

Yeah I might get someone to record it on video too

Quote from: AlbinoClockI love you.

Are you still going to make the Leek costume too?

<4

I dunno. I've kinda gone off the idea. I'd prefer to do something more recognisable and less self-indulgent. Like strawberryclock (except this sbc won't have robotic voice or anything cool like that... it'll be a pretty rushed job).

Quote from: SolenoidclockI'd like to see this in person. Do you go to a Texas college?

Almost! Is 4,054 miles too far to walk?

I live in Ireland, sorry!

If all goes well... I'll be entering newgrounds "promote ng on campus" competition.

Originally, that wasn't part of the plan, but I would love to win a cash prize in order to make back the money that i've spent on this project already. It's costing me a small fortune.

I'm creating a strawberryclock costume with chicken wire and expanding foam. I might cap it off with a layer of painted papier machet and a spray of laquer.



Picture one: building the endoskeleton in two pieces, which i later fitted together.

Picture two: a silhouette of me wearing the skeleton. (taken from inside)

Picture three: I began applying the expanding foam, in order to create a lightweight body that I can carve and paint.

Picture four: I cut the back off an old backpack, leaving just the straps. I cut the bottom of it into strips which I shall inlay into the body of the costume... making a sort of harness to carry the (minimal) weight of the costume on my back.

The deadline of the campus competition is the 31st, the same day I planned to do this thing. But I emailed Tom and he said it was ok if I go beyond the deadline.

I'll be handing out OBEY flyers and newgrounds flyers

Best war movie ever?

Certainly one of them! Great film

Howl's Moving Castle 3.5/5

I had 3 hours free between lectures today so I slunked off to the cinema and this film was showing. Certainly could have found worse ways to spend my time! It was great.

 It's a stunningly beautiful japanese animation set in a world of sorcerers and witches and genial scarecrows.

As I said, the story is beautifully told, with a cunning mixture of 3d and 2d work (all made to look 2d... an ever-more-frequent technique used these days).

Being japanese, the characters are pretty wacky (a talking fire... an emo sorcerer... vegemite footsoldiers), and the plot is pretty tedious. It's rather original and charming though, well worth watching if you like a good animation.

Quote from: LospermanThank you, good day. I will see you in an hour for our afternoon tea.

I just remembered what the other half point is for:


"I gotta get me one of those!". Shudder.

Now you mention it, the music didn't really blow me away! There's your half point sir. Take it and get outta here!

I save a 5/5 for best movie of all time type movies. Maybe a 4.5 would have been fairer though.

Mean Creek - 4/5

Great acting, realistic/nostalgic/clever writing, nice cinematography! Quality film from a new director!


Batman Begins 4/5

Another great film! Much more logical and serious than the other batman flicks. Very cool direction, with some amazing visuals. For those of you that have seen it, I love the part where Batman confronts Scarecrow and Scarecrow starts tripping. Really cool scene.

What was I saying again? Oh yeah. Really clever take on the original flicks. I love all the little details, how everything ties up and makes sense. I also love the joker tie-in at the end.

Great casting for Batman, too. He's really good. And Liam Neeson does his "qui gon jin" role pretty well.  Superb!

The Girl Next Door (2004)

3.5/5

It may take a lot from other movies, but the result is a solid "teen" movie lacking the features that make "teen" movies suck.  It's intelligent, charming, and overall very entertaining. It has some great characters (great comic acting and timing) and scenarios. It made me laugh. It was a pretty straight-forward story, but it worked well.

I'd say it's main downfall is the choice in music.. Music really adds a lot to a movie, and in this case most of the songs seem too prominent and unfitting to their respective scenes. They're really well known songs and they stick out like a sore thumb, and lower the tone of the movie.. turn it into something mainstreamy and cheap. But if you look past this poor taste in music, the film is still solid.

Overall though, one of the better "teen" flicks. Worth a watch indeed! Almost worthy of a 4 (if it were more original and had better music.. but we can excuse these flaws).
