After being told not to (http://www.joahua.com/blog/2004/11/05/dont-see-hero) I went to see Hero today.
Personally I didn’t think it was that bad, although admittedly I didn’t have high expectations of it.
Although there were a few things that I didn’t like about it, firstly the whole half flying half walking thing is a bit annoying (like crouching tiger hidden dragon). I mean the movie is sort of meant to be realistic but not. It is too much in between reality and not.
I didn’t like how the main characters kept dieing but not. Oh I only stabbed you a little bit with my knife, you’ll recover. Like that happened far too much.
The movie was too long. I got pretty bored at the end of it.
Apart from that it wasn’t too bad. The movie did have some interesting features. So yeah go and see it if you like. I thought it was better than crouching tiger hidden dragon. Just get rid of the crappying flying.
Another topic. My blog site. Currently the main thing that is annoying me about the site, well the blog/cms system is that I can’t do certain html things. Like having a hyperlink with certain text as the description, so “click here” would be a link. The other thing is posting images. I’d like to be able to do that.
Both these things are a problem of the way my system handles outputting text. It just strips all html stuff. This would be easily fixed with the kses class, which can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kses/
This class just strips certain html tags etc. You have complete control over what stuff is stripped. Pretty cool little class. The thing is I could insert this class into my current system in about 15 minutes and it would work well. But I am not going to do that as I am working (slowly) on my new blogging system. If I did add this class now I might stop writing this new thing all together, and that would be bad.
The new blog system is coming along although I need to sit down and figure out how some certain stuff is going to work. I don’t see myself having time for that until after schoolies as I’ve been pretty busy lately.
Any who that is about all for now.
You haven't seen bad Chromakey until you've seen Doctor Who. There is just NO comparison ;).
I'll steer right clear of the movie topic, having already (rather succinctly, I thought! :P) voiced opinions of that one! Oh, just have to slip in one comment, though: possibly the worst chroma-keying work I've recently seen in a cinema (possibly ever: I'm not _that_ old, and chroma key techniques have been around for a while!).
ANYWAY!!!
Yes, you know you want to use WordPress instead of reinventing the wheel!! Muwhahaha! Me, I'll stick to semantics and design... code isn't really my thing, anymore :)
