I'm a cleanfreak, so I quite regularly clean my room for dust and all. The biggest pains in my ass though are my monitor and TV. With their great looking piano black finishes. No matter what type of product I use for cleaning dust every-motherfucking-thing leaves stripes and scratches. So I bought a pack of cleaning tissues, specifically made for these type of products so it doesn't leave stripes and scratches behind. And guess what? The scrotum sucking fuckfest of a product does exactly what it shouldn't. You can tell I'm pissed off, right?
Never in my life again will I buy a monitor or TV with this good awful piano black effing finish. Good thing the Apple Display sports an aluminium bezel.

After all the ooh'ing and aah'ing it has finally come to life: the PS3 Slim I'm not completely sure whether to sell my, old version, shiny PS3 and get the slim or stick with it. The plus would be that the slim is perhaps even quieter, the downside is that it's not shiny! Which does save on time spend dusting the fcker.
Et pour la movies: a bunch of good trailers.

Fantastic Mr.Fox has shot all the way to the top of my most aniticipated upcoming movie list. A stop-motion movie with Wes Anderson (Rushmore and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou amongst others) behind the wheel based on a story by Roald Dahl, that just can't go wrong. Also George Clooney's self-insured, glamourous, almost cocky voice seems well cut for the main character.
A movie to keep in sight.

Braid coming to PSN as well! Good times man, good times.
I just found there's a PC demo on FilePlanet. @ about 100MB and ~1hour of fun it's a no-brainer. If, like me, you have heard of the game, but don't quite know what all the fuss is about I dearly recommend the download. That is if, like me, you enjoy well thought-out games with massive heaps of character (in story, gameplay, music and graphics). It's a mix of Mario, Lemmings and Blinx with a lot of puzzles, which are good fun and make excellent use of time-manipulation for getting it done.
On a site I frequent someone noted that games like these, which don't make full use of todays hardware, are obsolete. I would just like to state that people like that are obsolete. Give the game a chance. It's out on Xbox Live, Steam (PC) and many, legal, download sites. I am awaiting the PSN release myself for more Braid action.

There are some interesting movie projects on our doorsteps again such as:
Avatar...
And the real Avatar!
Yes, that's a bit confusing isn't it? Well I did think so at first. The first trailer is that of a movie based on the cartoon Avatar, which will be done by M. Night Shyamalan, aptly named The Last Airbender. Apparently James Cameron already got his little mittens on the movie title Avatar a long while before the Avatar named cartoon came to be (right after he finished Titanic so the story goes), so the cartoon fellows had to come up with a new title for their Avatar movie, which became The Last Airbender. Even though it's completely based on the TV show called Avatar. At first I hadn't even had the foggiest interest in the Avatar movie because I thought it was a movie for the likewise cartoon show, which I never particularly had much love for. However now I know it's actually a movie by Cameron featuring, according to "insiders", the best 3D/CGI ever seen it does give me the tingles. Yes, the tingles. The story seems mediocre at best when reading the little snippets, but why let such a little thing spoil the fun right.
Interestingly The Last Airbender movie, you know the 1 based on something actually called Avatar..., also caught my attention after hearing it's being done by Shyamalan, of whom I am a big fan (despite Lady In The Water being ok'ish and The Happening being pure PURE PUUUUU-RREEEE monkey faeces), and seeing the trailer, which sprouts the very typical rhythmic booming music with the normal "large troops of supposed enemies taking pot-shots at the screen giving you a sense of ohmigodhelpme!" action along side it, but it still looks fine mind you.
Oh and there's also of course the new Tron Legacy, Inglourious Basterds, District 9 and Moon nicely shaping the second half of 2009.

Just to get this straight, I was never much of a fan of any of the previous Star Trek outings. Meaning, I just never paid them any attention, not that I actually felt they were bad. Although I'm positive some were. Perhaps most were. But now I've seen the latest Star Trek movie it has come into a new light for me. While the story isn't worth much and there are too many "heroics" happening all at once, I still really enjoyed this universe. Perhaps because this time the cast and setting don't look as dated as they previously have and there was more action in it than I've ever seen in Star Trek. I'm sure Spock's little part had fans rolling on the floor gasping for air. It's a shame how childish certain parts of the story and character backgrounds unfold, but it's a good start for some new episodes and logs. With better scripts and, hopefully, bigger, better and badder foes!
