Clash of the Titans @ 2010

Wings away Pegasus !

Sorry , but it was difficult not to start singing that annoying hercules song. Hero's name was Perseus though in this movie. And yes, like hercules , he was a half son of Zeus

Star was Sam WORTHINGDON, i Think.

Remember that annoying terinator movie where the hero was a deathrow inmate that go ressurecd and turned into a temintor ? Yeah , that guy. And it's the same personality her. He smiles once in a while , but you swear you're looking at that same terminator guy transplanted into this movie. I swear the guy is like arnold swartznegger in his early day he can only play one roll.

ok. So . Mankind, symbolized by one single anient greek city, no longer worships the gods and starts tearing down their temples. Since the gods need mans worship to survive , they cant have this , so man and gods go to war, with lots and lots of really cool modern special effects on the side of the gods , who are highly hamstrung by the fact that the more men they kill the weaker they become.

Philisophically , as an aspiring writer, I find the whole situation fascinating. How do you go to war with someone you don't want to hurt ? And the whole waring philosophies of man trying to do things their own way and forget about the gods, vs the gods trying to keep their worshippers, it's a theme the modern world is struggling with in real life, making this several thousand year old myth a lot more relevant than you would expect.

In the end, big battles, awesome special effects, and an interesting philosophy debate to think about long after the movie ends.

Oh yes, the good guys win in the end. But considering how old this tale is , you probably already figured that out.

Data Stick - Wind

Bought myself a Data Stick from Wind.

what the heck is a data stick , you ask ?

You stick it in the usb slot of your lap top computer (or regular computer) and ...well , it's not quite a cell phone call , but it is using the cell phone network to connect to the internet. And it has a phone number and everything , but don't call me on that number, cause there's no handset , no way to answer, no way to even hear it ring.

World of Warcraft hates it.

The first time I tried out the game on it , well it is a different provider , and they are paranoid with all the account theft going around in that online game. They locked me out and sent me a nasty email to reset my password because of suspicious activity.

But it's all good now.

100$ for the stick
45$ for "unlmited" data.
By unlimited they mean 5 gigs a month and they slow you down if you go over it, but you never actually incur extra charges above the 45$ / month.

And the best part of all ?

No contract.

If you're feeling poor , you shut it down for a month or two , and then when you're feeling rich you start it up again.

It's not for everyone. Not everyone is in a position where internet on the go will do them any good or do them much use. But if you are one of those people , it sure as heck beats the 3 year contract nonsense bell and rogers will demand of you.
