Please Shut Up

At first it was amusing seeing non-comic book fans screaming how Iron Man is similar to Batman and how “The Dark Knight” will be better than “Iron Man”(or vica versa). Please shut up now, it’s getting annoying and old.

1. Please read up on the characters and their history before screaming how Iron Man ripped off Batman

2. Why do the two movies need to be compared? All they have in common is that they’re both based on comic books, other than that you can tell they’re in different genres. Why not compare either of these movies to “Wanted”, “Hellboy 2″,”The Incredible Hulk”, or “Watchmen?” -_-

Taking a photo is not O.K.

Ecccck, my friends can be so annoying sometimes.

It started yesterday when I brought a few of my drawings to school, I wanted to ask the few who can draw(too) what they think; does one part need improving? What looks fine on it? Anyways, I showed one of my guy friends and he took one look at it and said.

“Anne’s a better drawer, her drawings are sick.”

Um ok, I did not ask you to compare my artistic skills to hers. Not to mention that (unfortunately) a lot of my friends are into anime/manga and most of them who draw draw manga, Anne included. I draw my figures realistically and proportionate and she draws hers cartoony, you can’t compare the two.

Anyways, I mentioned that I like drawing realistically and then I took out “Elektra: Introspect” which has an issue where Greg Horn rendered the interior pages. I showed my friend and Anne this, and Anne just said:

“Drawing realistically is stupid, just take a picture. It’s better cartoony.”

I was just like

“…….”

That was just an idiotic comment. She then went on to say that they should just get some girl(friend) to put on a costume and pose. I wanted to call her a fucken moron very badly.

So it’s easier to find and buy a good Elektra(or any hero) costume, find a female(or male) that looks similar to them, find co -characters, locations, drive there and pay for gas, hire someone to Photoshop imperfections out. Yeah, it’s a lot cheaper to edit out some acne, make the hair perfect, make the costume look perfect, give the hero( your girlfriend) bigger boobs and a more toned body on every single bloody panel she appears in.

Seriously, so she was saying to waste money (and time) on all those resources instead of just hiring a professional artist to draw and paint realistically on (a few special edition) comic book issues. And we all know that most comic book issues don’t have deadlines and editors don’t care if you take your sweet time taking all those photos.

*Sigh* some people are just morons.

[EDIT]Off topic but, does anyone know how much it costs for buying DVDs overseas? I’ve herd the shipping and handling is what’s expensive but does anyone know (from experience) just how much? can anyone give me an amount?

I don’t want my parents buying the DVDs for my birthday if it gets expensive [/EDIT]

Ecck, sorry I haven’t updated in over a week! School started last week and I barely had time to do anything! I also didn’t even draw last week because of school. The second day back, my biology teacher says we have a project; we have to write a report on five scientists that contributed something major to biology! He gave a list on scientists and said to pick five and pick only one of those five to present. I hate presenting stuff; I don’t like talking in front of a crowd and the thing is, we can’t turn in our reports unless we present. The only upside to the project is that there is no page length, but we have to be detailed about how they conducted their experiments.

What I think is worse than that is that I’m starting proofs in geometry, jeez those things are so confusing(most of the time). If you know how to solve the diagram it’s not so hard, but what’s hard is naming the properties! And I love how the hardest thing in geometry is the most important.

To anyone who had (and passed) geometry, how did you survive that chapter?

So,who here is interested in astronomy? I find is fascinating, there’s so much we don’t know about the universe, I also love reading theories about the universe. One example is that when black holes are created, another alternate universe, aka a parallel world, is created. I just love reading all these theories, my favorite so far is the 11th Dimension theory. Even though I like reading about astronomy, I wouldn’t want to work in that field; too much science for my liking.

Okay talking about astronomy seems really nerdy so I’ma talk about Derren Brown. That guy is awesome, I never herd of him until a few days ago. He’s a “British magician, psychological illusionist, mentalist, and skeptic of paranormal phenomena”. I spent the better part of Saturday night watching You Tube clips of his show(s) in the UK, they’re absolutely amazing! My favorites have got to be the zombie, Russian Roulette, and the varies clips where he shows how psychics, mediums, and astrologers trick people into believing they’re the real thing. Though my favorite out of all of them is the chess player trick where he beats four professional players and draws two.

I can totally see why he’s banned from casinos LOL, I suggest that if any of you guys are bored, then watch some of his clips!
