"Objections, digressions, gay mistrust, the delight in mockery are signs of health: everything unconditional belongs in pathology." - Friedrich Nietzsche

Still struggling to talk about Monsieur Foucault and Herr Habermas intelligently and articulately in my paper on Euripides, so thought I would turn to Freddie for some inspiration (it's more productive than just catching up on Little Gamers, which seems to be becoming ever more esoteric).

Still shaken up by what happened to Dimebag Darrell - I had been listening to Vulgar Display Of Power that very night, for the first time in ages. It still doesn't seem real :(

Blade Trinity was a huge disappointment. Yeah it was pretty cool here and there, but the dialogue was achingly bad in places, and the Apple product placement got ridiculous (especially as I read that the filmakers bought all the gear themselves, so basically they paid Apple for the right to pimp their stuff?!). It's as though New Line thought the franchise was so bankable by this stage that they didn't feel the need to have anyone around just to pull David Goyer (or, for that matter, Ryan Reynolds) aside and say "Be cool, hotshot. You're going a little too far here". I know Norrington and Del Toro were hard acts to follow, but... *sigh* I just had such high hopes. On the plus side, Triple H was actually pretty good, and he had been my biggest fear. Turns out my concerns were misplaced. I guess I'll just have to look ahead to the next comic book movies. Oh wait, they've made Elektra a kiddie-sidekick movie, and for some reason Batman's helmet is now completely out of proportion to the rest of his body. And I'm not even going to talk about Michael Chiklis' make-up.

Fuck.
