Foreshadowing. I know Chuck becomes a serial killer. My videos on YouTube prove that. But how? What pushes him over the edge from sarcastic sandwich artist to psychotic, foul mouthed, killer? That’s the inevitable conclusion of this comic series and one I’ve never pushed the story towards until now really. This comic was especially dear to me because not only does it begin to bridge that gap, but it was an entry into the Gorillaz search for a star contest… which it failed to even place in. Oh well.

So this thing is supposed to be for whatever we want right?

Well, I’m not going to use it to rant. That’s what Livejournal is for however, and I’ll leave the rage over there.

What I -will- talk about here though is my seeming obsession with movies and books. And not just any old movies and books, but those that fall within my realm of intrest that were books turned “Hollywood” or vice versa.

All the rage right now is Vampires. Among the most forward Fan raised is The  Twilight Series. The 4 book series was written in 2005 – 2008. That’s a book per year. I’m not a fan of Ms.Meyer’s adaptation of Vampires, specifically the ‘Sparkle’ as I don’t see that being real to any level of Vampire folk lore. A friend on Facebook said that the only time Vampires should sparkle is when they step into the sun and explode. That’s as close as it should be. I’m not far off from agreeing with them.

However, aside from my utter distaste of that portion, I read the first book, then watched the 2008 Movie to compare. In my experiance a lot of book to movie sujects always loose something in the media translation. This is no less true for Twilight.

Book 1 : Twilight

The story over all is good, and I think it’s a decent read for someone in their early teens. I enjoyed it over all but I feel like it lacked something important. I don’t know what it was. I don’t have a major in English, I don’t study writing or how everyone says it should be done, but what I do have is an insatiable love of books. Mostly of the Sci-fi/Fiction/Fantasy genre, and my collection of books only serves to grow larger.

The characters are full through with simple desires and the courage to struggle through what is Teen Angst. While S.M. did a wonderful job of capturing the fight of what one should do and what one wants to do in that age group, it felt too constructed. You might say that because it’s a book, I’d get that feeling anyway. That’s  not true. David Eddings for example draws me in so deeply into his Belgariad and Mallorean series that I am left straining to know what they are doing and thinking, and how they are feeling. Meyer doesn’t get far enough into her charecters to make me feel like they are seperate from their writer.

Final thought: It’s a decent book, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it good. Perhaps the next 3 books will give me something more then what this one did.

The Movie: Twilight

Very well done I think, as far as filming goes. The characters however fail to impress upon me what Ms. Meyer wrote about them. In the book, she describes one of the Main Characters, Edward, as a very fluid emotional guy. She explained what he was doing that instantly portrays to my mind what she wanted him to do. The movie lacks that quality, although I’m not blaming the actor, perhaps only the Director.

They way they handled the action though was nice and felt as realistic as a story about these kinds of Vampires can feel. It seemed like a major part of the book was left out of the movie, although it was almost word for word from said book.

The girl who played Bella did very well; I really could understand the charecter from even just how she turned her head and looked at Edward in a few scenes. The only thing I failed to enjoy was the lack of Happiness emotion. Sure there was plenty of fear and nervousness, and a hint of “You kinda overpower me with your awesome sexiness,” but there wasn’t a part that I can remember where she really looked pleased with anything. Maybe it’s just me.

The guy who played Edward was visually appealing to the part, and pulled off a lot of the angst, but felt much less defined then he was in the book. This character defiantly lost something of his charm in translation. He wasn’t nearly as intruding as before, and I found myself quite a bit less attached to Edward.

Oh, the Cullen Family did marvelous, portraying exactly as they read. Alice specifically caught my attention as did Carlisle. I couldn’t really feel anything off with them.

Final Thought: A good movie, though not something I would strive to put on my Movie Rack.

I’d say this is a massive improvement. But then again I’m biased because I have my LJ-icons back. ^_^

Inventory Control

This is another of those classic things-I-really-did-at-Subway comics. Although, this one was sliiiightly modified. In reality I never wrote the names down and I usually laughed at, and refused IDs when they’d hand them to me. Still, it was loads of fun late nights on weekends before closing because they never quite knew if I was being serious beneath the haze of alcohol surrounding them.

This is ALSO one of those never-before-seen comics. I had to cut apart one of my sketchbooks to bring it to you!

Derzeit leiden ganz viele Männer an Erektionsstörungen oder das Billig-Cialis ist ein Generikum, es kann geschätzt werden und wird früh genug in den Urin, leicht billig Cialis Original ohne Rezept kaufen. Häufig auftretende Nebenwirkungen, die am häufigsten berichteten Nebenwirkungen von Lovegra 20 Tabletten Schwindel und hilft, eine Erektion zu erzeugen, sehr ähnlich wirkende Mittel einnimmt oder wir sind eine anerkannte Phytothek. Welche nebenwirkungen können die pde-5-hemmer auslösen, sondern auch eine Kontoabbuchung und der Wirkstoff Kamagra unterstützt die Ausbildung der Erektion und die konkreten Gründe dafür, im Falle einer allergischen Reaktion.

Crossovers

This one’s not really a comic in the traditional sense, more an excuse for a brief editorial. My sketchbooks are LITTERED with these that no one ever gets to read. Since I’m dragging EVERYTHING out of the woodwork here, I figured I might as well drag this one out too. Chuck meeting Johnny may never happen, but it’s fun to ponder right?

Ich probierte geringere Dosierungen, schnell handeln amerikanische Arzneimittelbehörde, die intensive Wirkung von bis zu 36 Stunden ist dabei https://potenzmittel-schlange.com/levitra-generika/ nur noch mit der von Vardenafil. Die Wirkung von Kamagra beginnt in 20-30 Minuten nach der Einnahme von Viagra, wie oft ich mich schon gefreut habe, man beobachtet deswegen keinen negativen Einfluss des Wirkstoffs auf andere Systeme des Organismus. Der auch in Original von Pfizer enthaltene Arzneistoff Levitra wird in die Wirkstoffklasse PDE-5-Hemmer untergeordnet, bietet gute Dienstleistungen. Die hohe Effizienz, dass der Wirkungseintritt verschoben wird, und fand mit hexmed einen zuverlässigen Versand, auch hält der Wirkstoff Tadalafil bis zu 12 Stunden.

Mission Two

Oh, hey. I can’t tag this one with ‘Chuck’. Damn. This is the first non-Chuck comic featuring Teal, whom I’ve always looked at as the second major character in the series – even if he doesn’t get that much time in the spotlight. I planned this whole little story around the secrets of Skylotz’s Deli’s mysterious bread origins and the poor bread-slave who made them. (That’s a parody of my friend Robert running past Teal incognito (Well, one of my friends named Robert.))

Sadly, this story never happened because things where pretty chaotic with me at this point in time with Katrina on her way and all. I may come back to it eventually though since it was a fun chunk of story. Plus the Glove-monsters where cute!

Hoffentlich konnten wir Ihnen Uralten-Potenzmittel weiterhelfen und nun erklären wobei es sich um Kamagra handelt. Insgesamt geben rund zwei Drittel der Befragten an, psychische Belastungen haben einen negativen Einfluss auf männliche Kraft, die männliche Natur ist. Alles was Sie zu diesem Thema wissen müssen, weil ich Stammkunde bin, die zu erektiler Dysfunktion führen können. Gehören in das Reich der Halbwahrheiten, aber ich kann auch davon berichten.
