I'm back. Happy birthday to those who had one while I was gone!

And I don't have pictures up yet, but the con!

Saw a LOT of movie previews (I'll try to link to what I saw, unless I can't):

Jesus Twilight look ridiculous. We ended up watching some world premier sneak preview thing twice (Obviously only a world premiere once) and I couldn't help but think both times "Why is this so popular." (And before some book fan comes in to defend it as just being the movies, I checked to see if it was stuff only in the movie. It's not. Srsly, I can see them being entertaining fluff, but actually good literature? Plx to be reading more)

The Fall looks absolutely gorgeous. I have NO idea what it about but the visuals were stunning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQt0QjWHUjY

Hellboy looks epicly awesome. You can see the Pan's Labyrinth influence. Which is a very good thing. The trailer we saw (Which is better) I can't find (It may have been exclusive to, IDK.) but here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_O0xYCy1cg

The Strangers is TERRIFYING looking. Even the preview scared the shit outta me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCU0k_jbCUo The part where she standing in the Lving room and...I won't ruin it for you but HO SHIT. It's not as impressive on the itty screen.

The new Hulk looks good, and uhm....there was a horror movie called Otis ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX0JlzHhXl 4) that's direct to DVD but had a hilarious opening. Look like a lot of yuck tho... And new Will Smith Superhero film that looks good and...I ran out of things that left an impression on me. Shoulda taken notes.

The costume contest was balls. Not because we didn't win (there was at least three groups better then us) but because one of the three winner were NOT in that group. They were doing Cloud, Rikku and Paine, and weren't even that good at it. (They weren't horrid but I'd say they were on the bottom level of what I see as common "good" FF cosplays. Like good but nothing that set them above the crowd. Missing some details, you know.) There was an amazing gundam cosplayer (he won best in show. And deserved it), and another Mrs. Lovet/Sweeney Todd which was a touch awkward. He let Ju play with his real razors afterwards. I hope I can find some of those pics.

And we made a pretty penny in the art room but HOLY HELL do they need some rules. And this isn't just me ripping my hair out at the guy who had the $500 photo shopped pieces (I'm not even kidding. He throws a photo through a few layers and calls it an original and sells it. And tons of em. Takes up two walls. And I'm guessing gets it. He said they're "Acrylics. THEY ARE COMPLETELY FLAT. Any one who's ever worked in acrylics know that doesn't HAPPEN. And he has a "watch my steps to see this aren't photoshopped..." and they're all photoshopped steps! ....ok I'm calming down) but there was tons of not fantasy/sci-fi art. Not necessarily BAD art, just...not that.

And this post is long so I stop now. Pics later.

BLEH! I dispise that guy.

"I IZ REAL ARTEEST. I NO CHEAT"

At this point though, if people are THAT stupid to keep buying his stuff...

Welcome back! :D

Lolol, I couldn't even get through Twilight. It was just laughably bad. XD;; I'm at least seeing the movie for the lulz though. Even though I really don't know how people can take it seriously. :,D

And the Cedric Diggory. And a few other hot guys.

But I'm just watching the preview going "This sounds like someone read Interview with a Vampire and made a bad fanfic out of it, complete with Mary Sue and everyone awesome living in the same house as a happy family."

I love how in our thing we watch one of the bad people made this whole big deal about how they were hunter and they HOMG hunted humans. And I was going "Hmmm...maybe BECAUSE YOU'RE VAMPIRES?!"

I just can't believe of all he BS he posts that he listed them as ACRYLICS. Even if he was adding details in acrylic to his digital paintings, which, a, doesn't seem like it's work, wouldn't the paper/ink get messed up? and b) I studied those things. Acrylics are 3-d. They stick up unless you mix them extensively with water/medium (See a)and it's STILL hard to get em smooth, but even if he WAS detailing em that way...they should NOT be listed as Acrylics as if they were done entirely in that medium..

W-we ended up leaving before the cutume contest and I didn't get to seeeeeee you D=

*fail*

Hahahah. There was this little group of Twilight fangirls infront of me that jumped up and spazzed for the preview. ..... I've never read the book, because it just... isn't my thing I guess. I prolly won't see the movie either. At least not in theatres.

o.0 The Fall looks stunning! We should go see it when it comes out!!!!!! =D

I also want to see Wanted. But this mostly be due to the desire to drool over Angelina Jolie. lol.

It's ok. I'm sad we didn't catch you again (I was saying hi to like...everyone who looked like you, and kept getting the oO look, so when i finally saw you I was like "...don't wanna look like an ass again...")

It is so gorgeous, we ttly should. It'll probably only be at like...the Mayan. Was Wanted the assassin one? That looked pretty damn amazing too.

Haha, I kept watching for you all day too D= but at least it isn't like I can't see you soon. lol I prolly should have given you a heads up on what I looked like. I-it has a tendancy to change. Weekly. lol =3

Yeah. Probably. But yeah. Stunning!

Yup! With the... curvy bullets? hahah

Schools almost out :D we have to do art jammin!

Yes I wanted to see that one to! There's probably more I forgot too...

We doooooooo! ♥

=D Yeah. There were a ton of trailers.

This weekend I have to hit up the museum and a play so no go, but soonish.

I ususally keep notes but I got so lost this time.

Yeah, I won't be home all weekend this weekend anways D=

Oh how organized you are! That's a brilliant idea. I'll remember that for next year! -D I missed probably the first half-hour unfortunately. So there are some I didn't see.

There was a gaint asshole in the begining, so at least that guy won't be coming back next year. On the one hand I'm really sad cause I like his commentary, on the other hand it was like...2 loud mouth dudes, so I'm kinda like "Calm down."

yeah, mixed medium for sure. someone should complain to the management of the art room.

Now that I've seen his picture I think he IS the mangment, and coming from me (Who's in the art show) I doubt it'd hold much merit.

Guh. Effing monopoly. Perhaps it should be taken up with someone above his head. He takes up more space than anyone, and he's a FAKE.

I did at least find a good selection of his art so I can be like "Fake mc fak. But as the art show page is pretty much his advertisment...:/

TRUFAX: I agree with the Twilight thing. To me it seems like a stupid Mary-Sue series. I haven't read it, but. Meh.

I think that people at the costume contests are a touch prejudice to characters that are "popular" and well-known, in all honesty.

Everything I attempted to, it was...gah.

I think because they don't know the characters so well, they were wowed, without knowing that for THOSE costumes, it was a pretty meh effort. (Lukcily the Lego Storm troopers and the like...20 person night at the museum were above them)
