Alien Socket vs. Predator Radiator

This morning I woke up, tired, and the first though in my head was "thank god it's almost weekend....." Then the harsh reality of an unrested weekend comes to play. It's Monday, not weekend. Damn it all.

I have a few updates to make.

After my last post I was still too lazy and tired and I didn't buy the stupid radiator. I did one day later. I actually bought two; one bigger oil-filled and the other a small fan heater. Now my bedroom is nice and warm and sleep is better. Unfortunately, however, I have very little use for the small heater because the stupid apartments in here don't come with a power socket in the bathroom. I wanted to use the small one for bathroom so it wouldn't be so damned cold in there - the small fan is even 'bathroom compatible' and can take in moisture and water without electrocuting people or blowing up - but the damned bathroom lacks a socket. I mean, what the hell?

Want to shave using an electric shaver? Better do it elsewhere.
Want to dry your hair with a fan? Do it elsewhere.
Want to do carpentry using an electric chainsaw? No can do!

What is the point? Oh, sure, this way no one gets electrocuted but wouldn't that just be normal evolution? Darwinism at its best? If you're stupid enough to get electrocuted, well, you're obviously not very familiar with contemporary way of life where a magical force from a funny nostril in a wall can kill you. If you don't respect and understand that, well, fine. But I just want that damned socket.

I could go for an extension cord from an outside socket but it's not really aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I don't know. It would be so much easier with the damned socket ready in place.

At least my bedroom is warmer. That's enough for now.

Other thing is, I went to see the new Alien vs. Predator movie.

Without much of expectations for it to be a good movie, I must say it definitely surprised me in a very positive way. It's not a movie masterpiece, it's not going to win Oscars, nor will be a big blockbuster. But it is still what Alien vs. Predator should be.

The first AvP movie sucked donkey ass. It was terrible. It had some good ideas but they totally ruined them with a totally shitty movie. The plot was ok but everything else sucked.

In the new AvP, the plot kind of sucks (but is acceptable) but everything else is pretty much awesome - or at least cool. You have a lot of people dying, you have many good alien-moments, plenty of good predator-moments --- and you have plenty of people dying (oh, said that before already).

They used quite a lot of concepts from earlier Alien and Predator movies. Especially Aliens (the second of the series) and first Predator. There are similarities in some characters, there are some similar concepts and there are some similar quotes even.

I must say I really actually liked the movie. Anyone and Everyone is of course entitled to an opinion of the movie but please go see it first before judging it. It's nothing like the first AvP, so if you didn't like that one don't let it stop you from seeing this one.

I must say, the predator in all its coolness throughout the movie was still a bit of a pussy. And the aliens still weren't 100% what they were in the Alien movies 1-3. Nevertheless, I'd say this is still better than what you'd get if you combined Alien Resurrection (the 4th in the series) and Predator 2. Think of if more like a combination of the first Predator and Aliens, with a 'crappy contemporary Hollywood idiocy'-factor of 20%.

I give it 4/5. As a good attempt to get the concept work.

That's all for today. Tchau!
