My holidays have nearly almost reached that ideal stage. The list below illustrates what I've been basically up to.
Watching hours of television. Check.
Catching up on my reading. Check.
Getting back lost hours of sleep. Check.
Mindlessly surfing the internet. Check.
Experience the 'Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children' movie. Check.
So, yeah, it's basically all that and a bit more. I just need to roam around shopping complexes and malls without any real intention of buying anything to complete the bumming out experience totally.
I just returned from doing that last bit on the list. I'm feeling extremely bad for the first time for watching a movie that I did not pay for. Courtesy of the youngest brother, he managed to negotiate a full download of the said movie with English subtitles as well with his computer. And me being the impatient little imp that I can be most of the times, could not wait to watch it before I can properly procure it from a licensed dvd shop. Thus, I gave in to my original sin and it was unbelievable. The movie, I mean. I don't want to say much about it except that the main character never looked as hot as he did before this show and everything about it from the graphics to the music was simply put; beautiful. Actually, beautiful is an understatement. There're no words to describe it. My fangirlism is in overdrive mode now. I'm going to stop now or else there will be no turning back for me if I continue.
But of course, where there's the upswing, there'll be the downside to it. And this one definitely has its downs. For one, those who has never even heard or knew the existence of anything related to Final Fantasy will be completely lost throughout the entirety of the movie. I got confused during some parts too though I didn't exactly finish the game due to some technicalities concerning the game console but that isn't the point here. I suppose the sole purpose of even putting this movie in production is to satiate the appetites of FFVII fans the world over and to milk the franchise for all its worth. It's gratefully and thankfully better than the first so-called movie SE created. There wasn't really much plot development or characterisation and sometimes I actually felt that it was more of an extra-long movie extension from the game and not so much a sequel. But yes, overall, I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 for mainly the graphics and fight sequences.
The job-hunting thing is not going well. At all. I think I've just about lost the will to get one now. Either on some other day I'll get up too late to go to the mall or when I do get up on time, something comes up and I can't go out in the end. Or I might just be making up excuses to not bust my ass. The laziness of me is slowing eating my brain away and depleting what's left of my body.
Just to end this post with a slightly more than my average flashiness, here are several links to some of my favourite Cloud fanarts featured exclusively on deviantArt.
Cloud fanart: #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5.
eh. you do realize when you buy from your er.. licensed dvd shops.. the money isn't exactly going to the producers of the movie right? go right ahead and support piracy! :D
well, i can hope it does. right? i can't believe i feel bad for doing something i've been doing for so long already.
