I’ve watched Digimon Savers<\/i> and Ouran High School Host Club<\/i> but have not had the time to write anything about them yet. I’ll share three of my notes from the latest Ouran High School Host Club<\/i> with you, though:<\/p>\n

BEST PLAN EVER
\nBEST MORI EVER
\nBEST SHOT EVER<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s some Ouran<\/I> for ya right there.<\/p>\n

Tonight I saw Superman Returns<\/I>, which was something near brilliance. It was filmed in the streets surrounding my office, so I could recognise a good deal of the locations. The Metropolis Hospital was directly opposite my office (to the point that you could actually see Lois Lane walking in front of my building), and there was a geographically hilarious car chase which began midway through Martin Place (one street behind my office, and coincidentally where my previous office was and<\/i> where the “woman in the red dress” sequences from The Matrix<\/i> were filmed), and ended, after a trip through some streets, at the top of Martin Place.
\nDon’t even get me started on the earthquake in O’Connell Street – that’s where I buy my candy from! Superman Returns<\/i> was kind of like going to work for me, except with more explosions and less fatigue.
\nAnyone else who lives in a big city might be thinking “beh, I recognise locations from my city all the time and don’t care a hoot about it”. When I watch Australian films (what very few there are), I don’t care about the locations. When I watch a film allegedly set in America, or a fantasy version thereof, it’s fun to recognise actual places.<\/p>\n

So stop watching anime for a second and go out and make Brandon Routh rich and forgive Bryan Singer for his crappy X-Men<\/I> aesthetic: he’s finally getting the hang of CG without overblowing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
