Renaissance

August 9th, 2007 by Atomictumor

Saw the coolest freakin movie last night.

Well, lemme back up a little…

I woke up sick yesterday, totally sick as a dog. So, stayed home from work and slept, which is my magic fix all for being sick, and woke up with MastaG rattling around, entirely bored, in the living room. He came in and we watched a movie on the big fancy LCD tv in my room (its doing nicely, thanks), and relaxed until it was time to get Pigpen from school.

I was feeling a bit more on my feet, so we swung by the video store on the way home from work to get 300, TMNT, and hopefully the Bourne Supremacy (MastaG and I have a Daddy/son day scheduled for tomorrow, the last day of his summer break, and wanted to see the third Bourne movie sometime soon). They didn’t have Bourne in, the bastards, but did have Hot Fuzz and Renaissance.

And man, Renaissance kicked my ass.

Animated entirely in black and white, it was a futuristic-y film noir thing, looking for the kidnapped girl, with people shooting, and whatnot, but the plot took a backseat in my eye to the amazingly freakin awesome animation.

Good stuff, good stuff.  I also bought me a $40 HDMI DVD player to hook up to the TV for the bitchinest visual, at like the 1080i or whatever the thing is.

Woot.

    But be sure to see Hot Fuzz. It’s absolutely hilarious. One of the best movies I’ve seen in the past year.

    There’s something just *right* about film noir in black-and-white.
