Week of 9/19/10 "How To Molest A Duck"
15 years ago
Yes, posted a day late, but with good reason
Cottage has all but been cleaned, And me and the other male in the cottage plan to purchase a router for the cabin, seeing as we lack internet even though we pay for it (I'm actually getting it in my room in ONE spot where my desk is, but anywhere else and it's out). Otherwise been pretty good, with random episodes of 'Whuuuuut?' when I open the door only to see the cabin couple openly groping each other. Still, our lives would be a sitcom for sure. "When a Con law Anti-stereotype, D&D gamer, his broadway obsessed girlfriend, and a Trekkie/Joss Whedon Fan-girl get together..."
Also, I now love my Wildlife Techniques teacher. Others are shocked I hadn't loved him before, but that's because I've never had a lab with him before. His sense of humor, while brash, is just my style, and he knows the absolute best ways to make an entire class of serious Conservation law majors and Wildlife Care and Ed majors to break down into giggle fits. The title is one he used itself to teach us to sex a duck internally when one is absolutely unsure of the exterior, and how to age a male duck.
Slow week otherwise afterwards. My Star Wars RPG group merged in with the Create your Own/Time Travel RPG group in RPG club since both lost alot of members, and it has proved interesting so far. I love locking a Hobbit in a broken down kitchen on Taris with three Rakghouls. The saturday D&D game almost saw the end of the party as we have no healer or spellcaster, making it very hard to hit skeletons and zombies with piercing weapons. I'm hell bent on having my ranger die and just creating a Cleric, unless we hit level 4 and I finally get some spells.
Sunday however was the day to look forward to. Went with some friends to see Alpha & Omega, which while mostly cliche in alot of aspects, actually held some cute and funny moments. Spoilers to follow.
The idea of the two wolf packs fighting over lost caribou was interesting, and the need for Kate to marry the son of the Eastern wolf Pack, Garth, while a little cliche, funny, seeing as Garth could not Howl for the life of him. Kate and Humphry's trip back was kinda meh for the most part, with the conflict back home after Kate is taken by humans the more interesting aspect. I also did like the parallel of Garth falling in love with Lily to Kate falling in love with Humphry.
Humphry showing how good of a howler he is was pretty good, and the howling was done interestingly, but strange. It then really got cliche when the whole "Underdog gets the Noble girl" turned more into an "Underdog THINKS he has the girl but doesn't, Underdog leaves, then conflict causes the Underdog TO get the girl".
Though, the two Pack Alphas getting caught in a stampede, and Humphry needing to rescue them, only to have Kate who helped get hit and thought dead by some caribou, was pretty intense and WELL done. It actually seemed like Kate was dead, and honestly, I would have liked it to be left there, with the packs uniting in her honor, and Humphry living the lone wolf life, or reverse rolls and have Humphry get hurt, Kate mourn him, then Kate have some pups later in her life and name one Humphry, but never reveal who the father is.
But, being the kids movie it is, Kate was alive, it got Highly cliche, and then everything worked for the better. Cut short when Humphry and Kate howled though.
Overall not bad. Side plot of the pack conflict is more entertaining than Kate and Humphry's adventure, and Kate's mom is Badass, and the ending was a cliche train, but worked well and I'd recommend a see in 2-D. Do not splurge for 3-D as it's useless.
All For now. Over and Out.
