Chronicle

Saw Chronicle the other day - not bad, but felt mostly like an epic Ratchet and Crank commercial, until the finale, at which point I was certain it was a live-action Akira pilot project. All in all, not bad. If you have time to kill or just looking for something to watch, worth checking out.

a bitter day for bitterfilms ...

It is freezing cold here in Toronto today! But perhaps appropos for this event. I have been a fan of Don Hertzfeldt's since Rejected, but was not too familiar with his other work, so yesterday's show was a real treat! Everything will be OK, I am so proud of you, and his latest, It's such a beautiful day, are amazing; personal and moving ...

... what's the third dimension ... ?

i feel dirty ...

Ugh, installing "Origin" to check up on my Mass Effect 3: Collector's Edition pre-order ... and I feel so very very dirty ... I think I have to purge and clean this laptop. Maybe a format-reboot even.

UPDATE: so Origin client was completely useless. Not only did it not contain my Mass Effect 3 pre-order, but it did not even contain my previous Sims purchase history. Total fail. However, cust-care to the rescue: apparently my order is still cool! Props to Tyler, for confirming my order status (or at the very least whispering all the sweet things cust-care should say to alay a customer's worries). Looking forward to enjoying Game of the Year on Day1!

UPDATE: pre-order came in on Day2. Honestly, just a little disappointed with this pre-order experience. Day1 play is far more important than Collector's Edition, so will likely purchase a standard edition Day1 instead.
