Some things:
1. I watched Resident Evil: Damnation, and honestly I don't know why I bothered. I mean, yay Leon being all snarky, and Leon, and so on ♥ (he was one of my first video game crushes and...look, it's been going on for fourteen years now *ahem*).
The CGI were/was (????) awesome - I really love how far computer animation has come, even in the last ten years - but honestly I didn't really like it. It felt, by the end of the game, like an extended trailer for RE6, although you wouldn't guess that if you don't know that it's supposed to be set between RE5 and 6. Also there was a trailer for 6 playing over the credits and what the fuck was that all about?
(Also I didn't have an RE tag??? WTF??? THESE GAMES ARE MY LIFE!)
In short, nah bro.
2. Since we're talking films, the last one I saw before this was Hans Christian Andersen, which is a musical where Danny Kaye plays the titular character and...it's not exactly true to Andersen's really story, but it's not so removed from reality as I understand it. Anyway, it's fun, and I enjoyed it, although a warning: you probably will be ear-wormed with every single song for days afterwards.
3. I reeeeeeeeeally want to make origami (someone who followed me on tumblr does origami, and it started me off on wanting to do some again). The only problem I have with it is that I never know what to do with it once I've made it.
I made so much as a teenager, but threw a lot of it away because of the above reasons (I think we've got three surviving things which are two huge flies (don't ask), and a maple leaf). I've got some instructions for making some paper boxes upstairs, and I'm going to have a crack at them, but I don't know where to go from there. We will see, I guess.
(Hmm, I better dig out that Steve and Megumi Biddle book, I guess!)
