Dragons, Giant Squid and Blue Aliens

Went to play Katamari Damacy today. It was amazing. I had to roll around a ball and pick up various random and sundry things like: giant octopi, cows, pedestrians, jumbo umbrellas, tacks, legoes, mountains all in this giant clump to replenish the stars that the king of the cosmos (the prince of the cosmos's i.e. the protagonists') had destroyed inadvertently in his sleep. It was a brilliant game. Like Super Mario only more irreverent and better graphics in 3d.



Picking up clumps of stuff



I also finished Dragon World on my cellphone. It was a really uneventful end to the game. The only big challenge was killing all those damn lava spewing plant things. The dragon itself was just a head that moved up and down the screen and it was pretty weak. He just kept spewing this lava burst thing straight across the screen. Totally lame.
I have seen a fair bit of good movies this week including: the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Fantastic Planet, Stalker (by Andrei Tartakovsky), Dil Se, Reality Bites and Rushmore.


wonderful cinematography in Dil Se

Fantastic Planet was an animated movie from France made in the 60's that was apparently an "allegory" about something or other. There were humanoid creatures oddly dressed in erotic / s and M like clothing that were under the control, actually kept as domestic pets of these giant blue alien creatures ( I forgot what they were called). Anyway, there were lots of sex/drug/drugs and sex references throughout the whole movie and a really weird soundtrack that sounded like a cross between porn music and 80's video game soundtracks. Anyway, that was the most remarkable of all the movies I think.


Traags enslaving the Oms. Yum
Rushmore is always good though. Jon really likes the "I'm going to pop a cap in your ass" comment. I think its a really great movie. The closing scene with all the characters in the movie dancing was really good.

Jon's my boyfriend by the way. I really like him
