The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Internationally famous oceanographer Steve Zissou and his crew - Team Zissou - set sail on an expedition to hunt down the mysterious, elusive, possibly non-existent Jaguar Shark that killed Zissou's partner during the documentary filming of their latest adventure.

They are joined on their voyage by a young airline co-pilot who may or may not be Zissou's son, a beautiful journalist assigned to write a profile of Zissou, and Zissou's estranged wife and co-producer, Eleanor. They face overwhelming complications including pirates, kidnapping and bankruptcy

Oh and why did I post this? well...

The original script called for the pirates to be Indonesians but since there weren't enough of an Indonesian population in Italy where this film was shot, it was changed to Filipinos.

I guess the writers haven't met our politicians yet...

Living a Virtual Life

In the physical world we vainly scrounge for glory. Bin Laden still taunts us, the bus doors close before we reach them and leave us standing in the rain. But in the fantasy realm of Azeroth, the virtual geography of World of Warcraft, the physical pain comes only from hitting a keyboard too hard, camaraderie is the norm and heroism is never far away. In simple terms, Warcraft is the most advanced and popular entry in a genre called Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, or MMO.

This probably sums up what World of Warcraft is all about. I mean, before World of Warcraft, I've been blogging about three posts a day, now it's barely three a month. More often than not, I'm a dwarf hunter in Aman'Thul slaying beasts...

Oh and there is still no World of Warcraft Philippines...

Some Upcoming Video Game Movies

I decided to surf IMDB, looking for the oh-so-wonderful video game movies. All in all, I’ve dug up 17 movies, along with a little summary. Go grab some tissues so that you can cry your eyes out about how your favorite games are being bastardized. I now present to you some upcoming video game movies.

I wonder if they'll ever get any worse than Super Mario Brothers...
