Almost done with the script for Super Street Fighter IV. Won't be able to do the actual shooting til around this Saturday; but I'll see if I can get what doesn't need to be shot done in the meantime. I also just got back from seeing Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. It was a positive experience and expect my review to reflect that and my own personal satisfaction after watching it. Good movie. That's all for now. Peace.

Don't expect me to update this journal EVERYday. Heh. It would be extremely boring to say "done nothing" two too three days straight. As you can see below I finished the MacGruber review. Fuck Adobe Premiere. I'll use it if I have to, but never again am I going to use that to cut and trim my raw footage.

Currently something is wrong with my Current account, and I can't upload jack in this state... so I guess I have room to either A: Watch a movie of my choosing. B: Review a movie I missed. or C: Review a DVD... it's either B or C for me. A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) or The Road...

Got some work done on the SSFIV review. It's shaping up to be my most ambitious game review ever, and I plan to put alot of extra effort into it to make it good. I've also gotten the OK to go ahead with the Blood of the Empire Comovie... so I've got alot of my hands ATM!

We Got Movie Time! - MacGruber

Wow... well. I DID finish MacGruber last night... twice. The first was with my new Adobe program but... fuck me in the ass is that thing a bitch to work with. It takes me 10x as long to do something in that program as it does my old one; and for what? No, I'm going to only use that thing when I need a specific set-up. Til then it can fuck off...

Anyways. The second one was much better and I'm glad I didn't compromise it for this review. Feels like an accomplishment. Anyways... MacGruber. I don't know what I'll be doing next, but if I don't review a movie in theaters; I'd love to take a bite out of The Road.

No major progress today. I'm struggling with Adobe and how it's different for Sony Movie Studio. Movie Studio has more integrated features, it's more all in one when compared to Adobe who have a different application for every feature. That being said I'm close to putting a gun in my mouth and pulling the trigger in frustration. Still, it's a necessary sacrifice.

I did however play the shit out of Deadly Danger Dungeon today. Fucking hell is that game hard... it's a miracle getting the key and getting back to the start, but it's a complete and total miracle to get past THAT. Closest I've gotten is to through the first door... 1 HP... and I fall in the fucking fire... Bleh. Don't know if I'll be lucky enough to beat it... but I'm sure as hell going to try.

Another slow day of progress... but a new day of learning. Just got a huge program that will likely be the new format for all my videos. This will hopefully be the thing that tears down that software barrier before me that keeps me from doing what I want. Had to scrap the MacGruber review since I'm going over to a new format, got the new script done and I think it's better this way. The old script was a little too long and seemed more like a rant than a review... and I honestly don't really give much of a damn about MacGruber, so why I was ranting about it I dunno.

Well as you can see bellow I managed to get two Rotten Tomatoes Show reviews out. Nothing spectacular, but I didn't really get anything else major done today. I cleaned up my studio (my room) and registered with a few sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc. Still working on MacGruber. May get it done by Tuesday. Oh. And I also got my pocketknife from when I joined the NRA. Pretty cool IMO. But that's all for now. Later!

TRTS - Name Your Favorite Movie Adaptation of a Video Game & MacGruber

Well, I was debating about doing it; but I decided to just go ahead and get two quick reviews out. Can't say I'm in love with any of them all that much, the Street Fighter one feels like a rehash of what I already know... but then again it is the truth. But I'm actually fairly impressed at how few takes it took for me to do the MacGruber review. Normally TRTS reviews of movies take me much, much, much longer... Anyways. Here they are for you to enjoy. I'll probably post them up on YouTube next Sunday.
