first and favorite
Oct. 24th, 2010 12:47 pmThere is a new Let's Anime post that is actually an old Anime Jump review I did about Lupin III Mystery or Secret of Mamo, whichever you prefer. I don't know if Anime Jump is ever coming back, and if it does I don't know if all the old reviews will still be there, and anyway I need to get back to a more regular schedule of updating Let's Anime. Plus, I'm sure there are people reading this who never got to see Anime Jump in its heyday. So go read about my favorite Lupin III movie!
No, I haven't seen "Lupin III Meets Detective Conan". Not a big Detective Conan fan. In fact the most recent Lupin film I saw was "Assassination Order", I believe, though I could very well be wrong, they have cranked out so many Lupin III films that it's impossible to keep track of them all. From what I can remember there's a scene where Lupin's cornered the bad guy, and just like every other action movie ever, the bad guy has surrendered but whips out a hidden gun so that Lupin has a reason to kill him. Come on fellas, this was tired the first four or five times Dirty Harry did it. Just shoot the guy and be done with it, quit trying to justify it.
Friday we went out to Canada's Wonderland to visit the theme park and experience the horrifying nightmare of their Halloween themed "Haunt". It had been raining earlier but the weather cleared up and it became a perfect night to go through their haunted house type attractions. Cold though. Most of the attractions featured variations on the "guy in mask leaps out and says BOO" theme, I was expecting a little more of a production out of Canada's Wonderland. The pirate-themed haunted house has a mechanical squid, though, and there's one set in a mine that gets genuinely spooky, narrow corridors, weird lights, a hall that gets smaller, lots of fog. We got some funnel cake and rode some rides, saw the Action Theater Elvira movie and played some video games and generally enjoyed the Halloween Wonderland. Yesterday we did some thriftin' for lampshades for the crazy lamps we got last weekend, and went to IKEA and got some more Expedit shelves because apparently those are getting discontinued or something. That's what the tags said, anyway. The Expedit is a key element in our campaign of 'getting junk off the floor' and its loss will be a shocking blow to us all, so stock up now. My general plan to deal with this is to not buy any more books, ever. Or at least make sure that new books coming in are balanced by old books going out. Today I get to put the sucker together, that's my big Sunday plan.
