There are no words that can describe how happy I am about Viva Video bringing in Marvel Entertainment’s straight-to-DVD animated features like Ultimate Avengers, Ultimate Avengers 2, and this movie here featuring Ol’ Shellhead: The Invincible Iron Man.

The Story: This got some comic book traditionalists up in arms with their panties in a bunch. Uptight pricks. I, on the other hand, don’t mind the film creators doing some modifications and upgrades on the mythos because first, I wasn’t an Iron Man fan until Civil War came along, so I really don’t give a crap about Iron Man continuity. Second, why would you want an animated feature to be 100% faithful to the medium it’s based on? Stories and characters in comics, no matter how iconic, don’t always equal great entertainment when ported brick-by-brick to another medium. And third, the story of ancient magics meeting bleeding edge technologies, with a dash of daddy issues, works for me. The Ultimate Avengers movies gave me a bigger geekgasm, but this one gave me a more satisfying story.

I’ve just been invited to join Facebook by an online friend. Bored like hell, I decided to bite and I registered. Plus, I also decided to update all my social networking accounts. And I just realized there’s a lot.

How many social networking sites do we really need? Or want, for that matter. I’m thinking sure, you get to stay updated with the lives of your real life and online friends, classmates, co-workers, and old flames. But you also encounter spammers, stalkers, posers, losers, and other types of freaks.

No, I don’t want to “add you as a friend”. And I don’t want to visit you at your other network. Unless by “sexygirlscutepets” you mean “sexy girls as cute pets”. Freak.

Earlier today, Euri forwarded a link to me on YM. It’s a link to a video (embedded on this chick’s Multiply site) featuring two house lizards and the tragic end of their romance.

The video is a Shera flexy board ceiling panel commercial from Thailand. The ad is a lot of things. It’s whimsical (come on, two lizards sharing a passionate hug?). It turns into a suspenseful adventure thriller as one of the lizards tries to save its lover from falling into a sinister chess board after the ceiling panel they’re on starts to crack and rip apart. And it finally turns into an awkward mix of hilarity and tragedy. It’s a beauty.

12 is a good solid number, isn’t it? 12 months. 12 apostles. 12 monkeys. It even has a nickname: Dozen. So with this good solid number, I’m ending this whole Weekly Haul series. Don’t rejoice just yet. This doesn’t mean that I’ll stop talking about comics. I’ll just stop enumerating and reviewing my weekly comic book purchases. I don’t know. It just became too much work, I guess. Especially when I’m starting to miss my self-imposed weekly deadlines. No point in doing a series of weekly posts and calling it “Weekly Haul” if it’s not weekly, right? Besides, I need to dedicate some more blogging time to other stuff like entertainment and technology news, videos of hot emo chicks kissing each other, and retard porn.

So yeah, this is the last post of my Weekly Haul series. Let’s get it over with, shall we? SPOILERS ahoy!

Sometimes, I want to do nothing. Even when I’m doing something, I want to be suspended in that moment. Frozen in time. Trapped in an infinite loop of safety and comfort.

Sometimes I just want to lay in bed and close my eyes. Think of nothing. Ignore the noise. Welcome the random colors and flashes within the darkness. Oblivion.

Sometimes I just want to drive in an infinite loop on the highway to nowhere. And when I’m ready, I’d turn right to the road to somewhere. Moving endlessly. Shooting through faceless streets and empty moving cars.

I just want to drown in nothing.

Sometimes, I want to do everything. Even when I’m doing nothing, I want to be everywhere at once. Talking to strangers. Rediscovering friends. Engulfed in the chaos of the unknown.

Sometimes I just want go somewhere new. Somewhere strange. Somewhere frightening. A journey around the world then towards the nearest wormhole. A journey inside myself.
