Hmmm... what to say. Oh, yes... Freelancer is awesome! I was quite torn between continuing to play it all evening, and doing the comic.

Luckily for you lot, the comic won.

Oh, and those of you who are likely to be in melbourne on the 14th of June, COME JOIN THE RANKS OF THE LIVING DEAD! I'll be there, yelling "Braiiinsss" with the best of them.

Not really much else to say. Have a nice day!

Addendum: I've updated the cast page. Go check it out.

And this week the invisible text is over on this side

Having seen the new Indiana Jones flick the other day, I think I'd like to share a few thoughts about this film.

Firstly, Harrison Ford is fantastic. Surprisingly for a sixtysomething, he manages to pull off being a real action hero, and convey the Indiana Jones magic, without breaking the suspension of disbelief. It's a class act, and Ford's performance in many ways is the saving grace of the movie.

Apart from Ford, unfortunately, the rest of the film is merely okay; with a few good points. Shia LeBouf conspiciously fails to be annoying, impressively enough, but doesn't really add much to the film. The script is broken and rusty in many places. In short, it hasn't the same gleam that the Last Crusade or Raiders of the Lost Ark brought to the cinema.

It's worth seeing if you loved the old movies, but don't go expecting it to blow you away. Apart from Harrison Ford's performance, it's a pretty rusty follow-up to the older movies.
