This week has just been all sorts of insane. Expect length and rambling here.
Tiny finally came in, so I returned the Behemoth to Tech Central. Tiny is aptly named: the screen can't be bigger than eight or nine inches tops. The apostrophe key is next to the spacebar. Typing is near impossible. Thank goodness for USB keyboards. :D
I got my own laptop back from Tech Central today, with no repairs. It's a problem with the screen, and there's nothing they can do. At least I can still update my iPod...which is of course what matters. XD
I have fallen behind on practically everything in my life and will likely be using tomorrow to frantically catch up. I'm also fairly certain I owe people money, but I cannot remember who. Good times. XD
I went to California Adventure with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lynxgriffin on Thursday. She was right: the animation building is fantastic. We spent probably two hours in there alone; most of it was me going o_o at all the fantastic stills from movies hung all over. We then went to go see the Aladdin show, which was fantastic. The Genie stole the show, of course - modern references made it. From telling Aladdin that he could have eight kids at once and the taxpayers of Agrabah would cover it to claiming he needed a government bailout since he lost his stuff in the Cave of Wonders collapse to asking Jafar if his hat was the same hat Aretha wore to the Inauguration (and later informing him that he was so mean that "on MySpace, Tom won't even friend you!") to Twittering ("Song is over. Carpet is tired."), Genie definitely made the show. I have to admit I laughed hardest when he broke into "Get'cha Head In the Game," but then again I'm biased. |D Basically, the day can be summed up by this. Yes, that's me in the yellow. Yes, that's on the Tower of Terror, right before a thirteen-story drop. Yes, I loved every minute of it.
And then, as if this week's lulz weren't enough, we went out to see the Dragonball movie.
I went with my roomie and five other friends. Emma knew Dragonball. Tara, Aubrey, Heather, and Kevin were clueless.
I...guys, this movie was just so bad. I couldn't even think about most of it. The love scenes left me in stitches. The srs bzns scenes left me in stitches. The fight scenes left me in...well, you get the point. It was a small theater, too - probably no more than fifty seats and nowhere near half full. By the halfway point, my friends and I had become that one group that would not shut the hell up. It was okay, though - I highly doubt anybody in the theater was taking it seriously either, since there were definitely more than seven people laughing during the overly dramatic kissing.
Guys, when I can make a Helen Keller joke off something the Wise Old Grandfather character says, you know something's wrong.
I lost it laughing when they used the Kamehameha as a healing technique. I was under the impression that it was a destructive wave of energy, and setting it off that close to a person would leave them with a giant hole in their chest, not jump start their life.
Speaking of the Kamehameha, when the hell did it become airbending? Yes, that is the word they used. They also failed to list Earth as an element. Epic fail.
Piccolo was...well, at least he was green. Aside from that, having Unnamed Fashion-Challenged Ninja Bitch do all his dirty work was incredibly lame. I also don't understand the leather body suit, but I suppose that's fodder for the sequel (based off the during-the-credits scene in which the girl whose village he utterly destroyed nurses him back to life. Uh-huh).
Why was Bulma acting like Lunch?Why was Goku's grandfather's name Gohan? (Evidently Kia does not remember the finer points of her canon; move along...) Why was Yamcha the most accurate and likeable character? Why was I rooting for Chichi this entire time?
"I am Ozaru. I am Goku." I AM BATMAN.
It's too close to canon to be completely ignored (and it was licensed by Shonen Jump; goodness knows how that happened), but too terrible to be taken seriously. I just. I don't even know. I spent the entire time laughing.
Best part had to be before the movie even started. I was talking to Kevin, and he admitted that he "didn't know it was live action." When I said my friends were clueless...Yeah, I lawled. Really hard. Scared the people sitting next to us, I think.
And I still can't help but wonder if Brother Norris' first name is Chuck.

So apparently the actor playing him was James Marsters. As in, Spike from Buffy. Bwuh?

We laughed the hardest when Goku met Master Roshi and they all butchered the pronunciation of Gohan with relative frequency.
Roshi by the way was also fairly accurate, aside from the obvious appearance issues. But nobody else came even close.
I am curious as to what they'll do with a sequal if they are allowed to make one through some lapse in judgement on the part of the studio. They've completely ruined all Saiyans so they can't even attempt to play with the Z storylines which the characters are nearer to age-wise, maybe they'd screw around with the Red Ribbon Army. XD
We went opening weekend and there like 8 of us in the theater, 4 of which were my group. I sort of doubt they'll be able to make up the money they spent on it.
