oiranI interrupt my coding project to bring you randomness.
I walk in on Mr. Glove watching Daredevil. Colin Farrell has some weird compassy thing embossed on his forehead. Jennifer Garner is dressed for pole dancing...or rooftop knife-fighting, I suppose. Ben Affleck is IN THIS MOVIE, which means it sucks. I ask Mr. Glove: Does Ben have special powers? We don't know--Mr. Glove hasn't been paying enough attention. It seems like he should, though, since he floats a little when he leaps. In fact, he floats a lot. Because he's a fucking gasbag/Ben Affleck, that's why. Jennifer is wearing ridiculous hair extensions and awful bubblegum pink lipstick. It's a totally wrong color for her. She has such amazing, strong bones--she'd look better with a little bit of dirt and grease rubbed around on her face (seriously!) than this girlie shit. Ben is wearing puffy pec pads. Don't the costuming people think about what it says about the superheroes when they have fake muscles sewn into their sekrit identity suits? Vain, vain, vain and kinda gay in a gym-rat way. Colin Farrell should not be bald. I don't find him attractive anyway, but this is really bad. And the embossed thing...I'm not even going to ask what or why.
Mr. Glove was glad when I left the room and took my commentary with me.
Dana, aka![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shaggirl, thinks I've promised her a sequel to The Prize, but I haven't done any such thing. I've said I'd consider it. Consider, ponder, mull over, and maybe then I'll plan to do it. I've got other things I actually want to do, but I have a hard time resisting a challenge. It's not something I'd necessarily enjoy doing, but I look for my growth experiences in all the wrong places. PLEASE: If you're someone who would want to read such a thing, let me know with a comment. I do wonder what sort of audience exists for extreme Clark abuse, outside of shaggirl and nerodi.
Don't tell the rest of my birds, but these little parakeets are the darlingest things ever.
And I am teaching myself Flash, and so far it is actually really easy once you understand the interface. Which means I might have a marketable freelance skill soon.
Now back to coding.

Re:

The whole 'being able to kill with anything' thing is comics canon. They had Bullseye down to a 't' in the movie, except for the whole irish/bald/no-costume thing. ah well.
The film was just bad. Damn it.

Date: 2004-02-13 01:14 pm (UTC)Last week I made the unfortunate decision to watch a few minutes of Daredevil and I've had low grade nasuea ever since. You have Colin Farrell overacting, Ben Affleck doing his usual underacting (now with special filters that take out any hint of emotion!) and Jennifer Garner wearing the most ridiculous superhero outfit - ever (at least until that crapfest of a Catwoamn movie comes out). Because when your specialty is killing with knives it's great to have as much skin exposed as possible. Look at me with a quibble over costumes! That's how shitty that movie was, I got angry at leather.
Re:
Date: 2004-02-13 01:22 pm (UTC)Jennifer Garner's outfit was just so stupid. I can think of ways to make a hot, revealing, protective-looking costume, so why can't the costume people for these films? Because, yeah, that catwoman outfit is a horrible, horrible joke. It makes Halle Berry look like a skank. A desperate-for-attention skank. A budget-900-number-ad skank. And it's not flattering, IMO. It's not a fighting costume, that's for sure.
My ideal catwoman is actually Michelle Pfeiffer, with Julie Newmar running close second.
Besides being a shitty driver, I'm beginning to think Halle Berry has no sense whatsoever.
