Movie of the Week - Edge of Darkness
So this is Mel Gibsons first acting role since Signs, after which he became a druken antisematic hermit for like 6 years. But he's back out of the closet like a bat out of hell in this half action, half mystery, half conspiracy, half killing rampage of a movie. It's actually an adaptation of british mini-series from the 1980's, and is dirceted by the same guy that did them, Martin Campbell.
The movie starts out a lot like Taken, where Gibson really likes his daughter, but he hasn't seen her much lately, and he doesn't really know what she does for a living any more, and he feels like hes lost touch with her, blah blah blah. It kinda takes a while to get into it with all of the daughter stuff, and these random flashbacks of home videos, but then out of no where BLAMMMM. His daughter is shot dead on his front pourch, with a shot gun I might add, like gory freakin wound, her guts are hanging out a bit, and Gibson is trying to put pressure on the wound when its like the size of her whole stomach. Now since Gibson is a cop, the polices immediate assumption is that Gibson was the real target. They do the whole examination of the crime seen, while Gibson just sits in his living room looking like at any moment he`s gonna go on a mad killing spree, but that doesnt happen till later. His boss tells him that he can't work on the case since it a personal matter, but obviously Gibson doesn't listen. For an old man, he can still move pretty freakin fast (that's the magic of movies). He's pretty smart too, and it doesnt take him too long to figure out theres a conspiracy taking place between his daughter and the company she worked for.

Gibson has some good action scenes, however I was hoping for a few more. Theres also this character who's helping Gibson out, played by Ray Winston, who is excellent. And the head of the company Gibson`'s daughter worked for is played by Danny Houston who always plays a terrific bad guy. Although the plot is a smidge tough to follow at times, the pace is kept well between Gibson beating the pulp out of people and keeping out of the grasp of some CIA guys that have been ordered to take him out. It's actually a pretty good acting job by Gibson, cause he has to use a Boston accent through the whole thing, which kinda sounds like bugs bunny if you ask me, but what eves, its the way they talk, I guess they`re all fruit cakes in Boston.
Anywho, I was pretty impressed with the acting and the action, and the way people get fucked up in it, cause it happens a couple of times, and they dont hold back on the gore which is great. It's not as action packed as taken, but it's got some better acting, so it balances out better. I think this was a great movie for Gibson to come back to acting in, cause it's a lot like his old movies like Mad Max, or Lethal weapon where he is bad ass that you really did not want to mess with. Im giving this movie a 4/5, and I'm looking forward to some more movies by Gibson in the future. Here's the trailer for Edge of Darkness:

Procrastination 101
Not that any of you need help procrastinating or finding things on the internet to suck up hours of life, but i would like to share some of my favourites, beyond youtube and ebaums world.
Hell Of Sand
This thing is fucking unbelieveable! I almost feel bad for sharing it, i blame my F in math on this thing. I know it looks stupid, and ugly, its so simple, but so fun, I played this for so long i began to dream about multicoloured sand, my favourite thing is putting a line of "plant" at the bottom, and putting a line of "spout" at the top, then filling the plant that grows with nitroglycerine while it grows, then setting it on fire. Sometimes the java applet doesnt like to work, so click on this.
XKCD
The funniest webcomic ive ever found, who ever writes it is a fucking genius and knows retarded amounts about every subject you can imagine. So its hilarious, but you learn something along the way. And knowledge is power.
Geekologie
The first website i check every morning. Its full of random awesome stuff, even though at least 50% of what is posted comes straight from gizmodo.com. Its kinda like a less serious, dumbed down version of gizmodo. Make sure you actaully read the mini articles that go with it. Its really worth it, the writers quite the wordsmith, just he way he says things is hilarious.
Chart Porn
I just found chart porn, some of it can be a little bland, recently theres a lot about the economy and haiti, but theres some genius and funny stuff on there too. And i find info-graphics interesting sometimes, maybe its just me.
TED
This vid is really funny, but alot of the other talks are really facinating. I like to watch ted after i get a bad mark on something. It makes me feel intelligent again. I hope that one day a moment comes where i am siting around a fireplace infront of a bearskin rug, in high backed chairs smoking a pipe, drinking sherry and talking to an old british man with a large moustache, so i can bring up the facinating conversation starters i learned while watching ted.
... and when all hope is lost, and there is 1500 words to write about Robin Woods theory of the repressed in horror films, or Maximilien Robespierre's role in the french revolution, and there is not a reason in the world for you not to do it.. there is stumble. I think grant put it best when he said: "There is a lot of random shit on the internet, and im glad that stumbleupon is there to hold my hand and guide me"
StumbleUpon
Yea this stumble is not to be taken lightly, choose your categories wisely, for they will determine your interests and thoughts for many a coming month. Stumble, she be a double edged sword, one of uncountable joy and unimagionable suffering and mental torment. Time travel has been invented, as stumble can propell you hours into the future and leave you with no recollection of what happened. Use at your own risk. I hold no responsibility for death due to lack of hydration, vitimine D, or madness.
PS. i realize that this post will be almost completely useless to you grant, as you have already seen more of the cyber world than is normal of a man twice your age. You have learned much in you brief 5 months in the land of broadband, and i fear t'was not for the better. (jk)
