Fourplay

Yesterday I had nothing better to do, so I went over to Chris' house. We played some games... Video games.

I had nothing better to do the next day either, so I stayed over-night. I went to bed at about 4:30, woke up at around 11:00. S'decent.

Then, later today, I went and met up with Chris at GameStop, where I bought a used copy of FFTA to replace my busted one.

Then we saw Fantastic Four, and if you hated my Star Wars post, you'll hate this!

Disclaimer: I've only read a handful of the Fantastic Four comics, so you will be spared my criticism of any deviations that might have occurred in the comic/movie translation.

• The acting starts out not great, but the actors get better as the movie goes on.
• There are a lot of cliches. It's hard to bear at first but eventually you just succumb to it.
• The effects are good, yeah.
• Does Dr. Doom strike you at all like Spiderman's Goblin? Greenish, metallic body/suit, with a mask? Nah, it must just be me...
• Continuity error in one of the final scenes: The Invisible Woman is shown to be bleeding from her nose, then, in the next shot, there's no trace of blood.

Yeah, I'm nit-picking. That's just my way, though.

Overall I did enjoy it. It wasn't as good as Spiderman, but that may be an unfair metric. Not a bad way to spend six bucks and two hours.
