Well, that's strange. Maybe it's just me but on both Chrome and Firefox, the Quote and the Multi buttons are broken and don't work. Figures. Today wasn't the best, besides the fact that I got to visit both Epcot and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. Not to humblebrag but I do have an annual pass to that place.
I don't always mention when I go there, but today I went and visited a new expansion to Fantasyland (it's circus-themed and while there isn't a lot to it yet the theming is quite good) and at Epcot they completely remodeled the Test Track ride, which ends up with you riding outside in a ride vehicle that looks like a car and you go over 60 miles an hour for a bit. It had opened in the late 90's but by this time it looked stodgy and out of date. They also added a deal involving you getting a plain white card and you swipe it to design a vehicle on a touchscreen pad... i.e. pick out one of four traits you prefer the most then pick out one of eight different colors that have slightly different qualities. On the ride the vehicle you pick gets its stats shown at a few points throughout... not quite what I was expecting from what I had heard, AND that system is poorly implemented, not well explained at all, and confusing. I expected more from Disney, you know. Then, there was all the dumbshits there; it's always a problem but it was pretty bad today. On one ride, having some Troglodytes yell and scream almost the entire time about the most inane shit when they're sitting right by each other... that doesn't make me a happy camper. At least the weather was real nice today and tonight.
Oh, and the layout of the remodeled Test Track... pretty awesome to me. It's an 80's-riffic design! It's as if you drank a few brightly colored liquids then vomited all over the original Tron's world; to me that's a compliment. I wasn't expecting a black background and neon lights, but to me it was awesome.
Now, to comment on a few things one by one:
oh lol at a "bulletproof kimono".
I wasn't expecting to hear that Gangster Squad was cartoony. I don't know what to make of that, as I still want to see it.
I do not remember where but somewhere I read a blurb of someone who had already seen Broken City and they did not care for the movie at all. I wish I knew where to go to re-read it and give a more accurate recap of what was said, but eh... like I said, it's that sort of day today.
I have not heard of Non Stop until just now. Looking online it's from the guy who directed Orphan... and Rene favorite Unknown.
Speaking of Rene, don't worry if you don't have a Potato in your Pants over Miami Connection. I disagree, but I certainly know others who think it's overrated as a bad movie experience. Sure, there are funnier and shittier bad films out there but I still think that MC is a great time, especially getting to see it live on the big screen with some of the stars in attendance.
For awhile I had heard of Firepower but despite knowing plenty of wrestling fans, even the most hard of the hardcore have never seen it, or at least have not admitted to it. I have to see The Ultimate Warrior act as a huge wrestling fan in the day; of course, now Warrior (yes, he changed his name to "Warrior") is a rather insane right-winger... him being conservative is fine and all but he's made some rather controversial comments in the past which I won't repeat here. Crazies on both the right and the left I feel the same about.
