Film news:
The Fast and Furious Spin off staring Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson has started filming.

Some background on way this is getting made:
In the most recent F&F film the best thing were Statham and The Rock. Also their interactions on screen were great. They played very well off of each other. From what I know The Rock and Vin Diesel had a falling out. The Rock didn’t plan on being in the next F&F installment. So the people behind the series off him his own potential spinoff [that may become it’s own series.].

Thoughts:
It is hard to judge a film that literally just started filming. The Rock as an actor is very bankable and popular right now. Statham will always give his best performance with the material he is given. It has the potential to be good but there is also the other cast, story, and plot of the film to consider. Wait and see on this one.

My prediction. It will be like every other movie that ever exsists. Bad guy takes heros lover and hero goes to the rescue. Few fights and chase scenes later the hero saves the day and the bad guy is defeated

Having some beer after finally done with work lol. Is quite good. Also amusingly named The Kessel Run.

Now watching … More supernatural for now. Probably will play some WoWs later or something.

Plugged in this GeForce G100 to get a database entry and it burst into flames after getting to the desktop.

I missed a shot of the actual flame by half a second, but that’s a nice cherry red MOSFET.

Got ahold of a Jak and Daxter disk image and fired it up in pcsx2. I forgot how damn addictive this game was.

There is a peculiar issue however, where the eyes of all the people have that whole ā€œJack Skelingtonā€ thing going on. Another odd thing is only one of Jak’s eyes does that. I’m about 1/4 of the way through the game and he’s the only one who’s eyes do that.

yep the Jak and Daxter games were great. has to be one of my favorite PlayStation franchises and put soo many hours into them, so much so that when I got the remakes on PlayStation 3 I played them all again almost none stop and didn’t regret it one bit.

Jak and Daxter was one of the first games I had for ps2, and it is the first game I remember actually beating. This was before I had memory cards for it, so I beat it in a day. So many hours put into that game because of that…

As I have them already for PS2 (along with the Ratchet & Clank and Sly games) I didn’t see a need to get them again for PS3 (although 16:9 alone would justify that for me now). And now they’re overpriced IF you can find them anywhere.

Your making good progress. The old adage about doing what you love vs what you like holds up true

Yeah. It is very true. I mean I’m doing a chapter a week… which is kinda nuts. Granted 7 might be a week and a few days. Though tomorrow I’m going to spend a fair bit of time on it. I’m pretty happy with the story. Once I finish the first pass I’ll type it up to see how long it really is. I have a feeling it will be much longer than Sam’s Wasteland within.

Do you Like Garth Ennis? … You should. Did you know at one time he was tapped to replace John Wagner as the leader writer when John Wagner ā€œretiredā€? Did you know he wrote Preacher and the best version of the Punisher?
Have you read The Boys written by him?
Did you know how Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg spent ten years pitching Preacher to get made into a show.
Well Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg are making The Boys for Amazon Prime and Simon Pegg has a small role in it:

Think i found my next book to read

ye I’ve heard the expanse is supposed to be a really good read and its very grounded in lore and world building, iirc there was a tv series based on it too which is also said to be pretty good also and is fairly true to the books.

I’ve read the first book. It’s really good.
Interesting fact is two authors write it. The TV Series is also very good. Sy Fy cancelled it after the 3rd season but Jeff Bozo [Amazon Ceo] is a huge fan of the books and show so he got it for Amazon Prime. So we’ll get a 4th season with Amazon which means more money to make the show.
