Watch it here. And save yourself 10 bucks and 2 hours of your time, not to mention the utter disgust and nausea that Blood’s Live Action movie provided.
To call itself ‘inspired’ by Production I.G’s Blood: the Last Vampire would be a great injustice.
A Review:
The girl who plays Saya absolutely do NOT resemble her, either in the animated movie or the anime series. But I’ll give it a chance. I know the movie will face a great challenge to be on par with the great animated movie. But I came in the theatre with an open mind, thinking, “Let’s see what they’ll come up with.”
And boy do they come up with utter crap. The kinda crap that makes you writhe in your seat. The kind that makes you wanna throw up. That makes you wanna find the writer, director and everyone who’s agreed to give a green light to this kinda shit of a movie, and punch em in the face.
Ok seriously, the review. The first 5 minutes, my hopes were raised way up high. The reason: They’ve followed the anime, or what I can recall from it, scene by scene. Then, the scene at the high school, where the innocent girl watches Saya kill the two demons… very Buffy-esque. And there’s always something about that dumb little show that appeals to everyone. So that’s kinda nice too.
But that’s about it. It went totally down hill from there. And it came an extremely painful, screeching halt.
All in all, I think it’s a great comedy. It’s a joke of a movie. And we did laugh about it for a good 20 minutes after the movie. Not many comedies can have that effect.
So, if you’re looking to be either disgusted or be in a state of beyond disgust, that it becomes hilarious, then by all means, watch Blood: The Last Vampire.
Otherwise, here is the real shit. Parts 1 to 5. Load em up, play em in HQ, and enjoy.
It was incredible. I could never have imagined such a race. Such ferocity. Such rivalry. The drama that ensued. The joys and tears.
I hope ALL motoGP fans or even mini-fans watched the race yesterday.
The Greatest Race
Here’s a quick summary of yesterday’s mega awesomeness.
Lorenzo starts pole position, followed by Rossi and then Stoner. The red light goes off, and the three played a tight race. I mean wheel to wheel tight. Rossi overtakes Lorenzo. Then Lorenzo took the lead back.
After half the race, Stoner couldn’t keep up with the crazy Yamahas. He had to contend with Dovizioso for third. All this time, the rest of the race has got fierce battles going on simultaneously. But the camera had to focus on the two Fiat team mates.
Rossi stayed extremely close to Lorenzo, doing his classic Rossi pressure. Usually, the guy in front would crack and Rossi would take the chance and slide through, then leave the poor bugger alone. But that’s not the case of Jorge Lorenzo. He’s a daredevil on his own grounds. Lorenzo got to be the champion of the 250 cc because he’s got the same crazies as Rossi.
Lorenzo didn’t budge. But when its 3 laps to go, Rossi slid through at the smallest gap. Incredible. But no, Jorge wouldn’t let the italian go through to win at Catalunya, Jorge’s own home ground. And guess what, Lorenzo beat Rossi again. Rossi stayed right on Lorenzo’s rear tyres. And now we enter the last lap, in what appears to be the greatest battle in history of motorcycle racing.
3 corners to go, Rossi cuts through Lorenzo. 2 corners. Lorenzo slips through. LAST CORNER. Valentino Rossi goes through and sped off to the flag. Jorge Lorenzo came second. Stoner had a dogfight with Dovizioso but managed to stay third.
But the drama’s just begun.
Rossi was happy, Lorenzo seem disappointed. Stoner; He cried. He couldn’t get off the bike. His wife was patting him on the arms. Then he went off and broke down, away from the camera. He caused a delay in the winners getting on the podium.
Rossi paid homage to the Spanish crowd by bowing to them face to face. Then Lorenzo did the same, showing his respect and appreciation to the fans. It was awesome. Historic. Epic.
Then they went to podium. Stoner was up there, but he was limp. As if he couldn’t carry himself. He could barely pop the champagne. His face was red.
The two Yamaha Gilas went crazy with the champagne.
Then the interview; Lorenzo said something that sounded a bit like a brushoff to Rossi’s comments. Oooh, is it gonna be a great rivalry between these two? I wouldn’t mind watching that!
Valentino Rossi is the greatest rider the world has ever known.
