This week I did something I haven’t done in a while; I
reviewed an Asylum movie. If you don’t know what the Asylum is, they’re a movie
studio that make terrible rip-off movies. If Snakes on a Planes is coming out,
they’ll make Snakes on a Train. The release of Sharknado 3 last week inspired
me to jump back in to that mess of a studio. So far I’ve watched 2 of their
“films” and to be honest they weren’t as bad as I feared. Don’t get me wrong,
the acting is horrendous but their CGI has improved, although still nothing
above an end of semester college project. They’re like a trainwreck that you
can’t keep your eyes away from, you just have to see what happens. I’ll try to
keep these coming as long as I can endure them, but don’t expect any miracles
people, I have limits.
While
on the case of reviewing movies from the Asylum, I decided to change my review
policy. I’d normally pick what I’m going to review way in advance and then
watch those movies over the next month. This led to many missed deadlines, movies
waiting to get reviewed for months and just general annoyance. I’m going to
ditch that and just review whatever I want every week. Instead of just cranking
a review out I want them to mean something and have quality to them. Don’t
worry, you can still expect the weekly review on Sunday, I want to keep that a
steady rule. There may be more during certain weeks when I have time, but that
Sunday review is fixed and I hope not to miss any.
Last
Saturday I went to La Ronde, the amusement park we have here in Montreal. And
think that was the last time. Every single time I go there it ends up going bad
and this time was no exception. Roller coasters, especially the more extreme
ones, do not agree with my stomach. It’s not the fear that gets me, it’s the
sickness. I started my day at La Ronde Saturday going on a roller coaster and
felt like crap the entire day, leading to me throwing up 8 hours later (I can’t
explain why it took so long). I spent the rest of the time waiting with my
friends in line and then skipping the ride once we got to the end. This might
be a sign that this is not what I’m meant for. I don’t think I’ll be going
there anymore and if I do, NO GODDAMN ROLLER COASTERS!!! Maybe I can do the
kiddie one but nothing extreme. My relationship with La Ronde is like a woman
with an abusive boyfriend. You keep hoping next time will be better but deep
down you know it’s never going to be.
Only
one achievement this week, I’ve been focusing on my crossfit training. I may
start a new game this week, either Aliens: Colonial Marines or an Assassin’s
Creed, have not decided yet.
Batman: Arkham Knight
Days of Fire - 15G - Extinguish the fires in Gotham City
