untitled

so i've been trying to decide what i should write in today's blog... and i have nothing.
i mean, i did find some pretty cool footage on youtube from this year's Comic Con convention, including The Wolfman trailer starring Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins. i also finally found the Watchmen footage i've been trying to find for almost a week now. of course the guy who was recording said footage kept annoyingly turning the camera away at pivotal scenes... but i don't blame him, i wouldn't want to be caught by the convention Nazi's who would have most likely smashed his pricey camera to pieces in an instant.
speaking of Watchmen ever since i saw the teaser trailer, i haven't been able to stop thinking of the movie.

Dare i say this will be the next Dark Knight?


so, after watching the teaser literally six times in a row the day it was released (about a couple of weeks ago), i decided that i must read the graphic novel that it's based upon. (created by Alan Moore, the same guy who created the amazing V For Vendetta) after being lazy for about a week, i attempted to set out and find the Holy Grail of all graphic novels... but my quest fell short, as i went to our local Border's book store and learned that they were all sold out.
DAMN THE AMAZING TRAILER!
i then decided that i might as well order it online since i had a better chance to get it there. first, i tried BarnesandNoble.com, but as i was attempting to check-out, i noticed the fine print saying the book would be available by the end of August
DAMN THE AMAZING TRAILER!
then i went onto Borders.com, read the fine print, and saw that it would be shipping in a few days. well, i ordered the book last Monday, July 21st, and my book has not shipped yet.
DAMN THE AMAZING TRAILER!

the day i finally get my long awaited graphic novel will truly be a happy day for myself.


i guess i did have something to talk about in the end.


NOTE:
if you're curious what the song is in the teaser it's The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning by the Smashing Pumpkins

i already downloaded it and have listened to it several times, heh.
