it's almost a lock that i'm moving to vegas in jan, which i'm really excited about; now it's just a matter of finding a nice place and saving mobnies. not a lot going on poker-wise, on pace for a good month in terms of both volume and results. however, i do have a lot of movie, series, and video game updates!




this one isn't as fresh in my mind as i watched it over a week ago. i really liked the da vinci code and this movie was obv in the same vein, but i can only find 3 stars though. the premise is basically tom hanks solving inf mysteries with an attractive foreign woman. good not great.




almost perfect! plenty of explosions, chases, action, witty dialogue, alpha maleness, and a beautiful mostly pouty faced costar without the ridic poker action from casino royale.




i'm not usually a comic book-to-movie fan boy, but i had heard good things and this movie didn't disappoint. i'm only giving it three stars because there's a brief scene where gambit depicts poker players as untrustworthy, cheating degens which prob costs me money, and time/sanity while fielding questions about poker.




holy mf shit, as fees would say, this movie was ridiculous. i'll stop saying everything else is dark because this movie was beyond dark. really well made and interesting.

this movie made me feel weird and guilty about how fucked up the human race is; thank god we're all getting wiped out in 2012.




maybe i didn't give this a fair chance since i stopped playing before i finished but this game was quite awful. first, wtf you're a confederate soldier; i'm not okay with slavery. second, the game play wasn't great. third, the graphics weren't great.




although i'm giddy with excitement about my lost re-watch, season 2 is the best. inf more mysteries, inf more great character development.

the mf hatch! this is where lost gets really interesting imo. it's quite strange re-watching lost and knowing everything that happens up until the end of season 5. sawyer is amazingly funny and deceptively helpful in this season. prob hurley's best season as well. michael is a bitch for squashing hurley's best chance of getting laid. this pretty much doesn't get answered but why the f are the others so weird. i mean <5% of what they do makes any sense. things i want explained please: 1. the lists, 2. the dirtiness/fake beards, etc. yeah they wanted the losties to think they were weaker than they were, but they were coming for walt regardless and i'm sure they knew this and prob went overboard with the fake camp, etc. 3. this one is broad, but why are you even on the island if you can leave? so the island heals you or w/e but still that can't offset the fact that you're super likely to die and there's no in-n-out burger there. prob enough of a rant, i'll provide more after i'm finished season 3.
