the greatest thing that's yet to have happened
allow me to exaggerate a memory or two
every time that I try I get tongue tied
all the souls that would die just to feel alive

On Claws of Adamantium
 I just saw X-Men Origins yesterday out of boredom. You familiar with the infamous leaked version of this anticipated motion picture? At first people dismissed this as an April Fool joke gone wrong, but turns out they're ultimately wrong. Apparently, a full length DVD quality copy version of the film was posted illegally on various websites before the actual release date of it worldwide in theaters for four more weeks. I saw various statements coming from the people behind the movie saying they have contacted the appropriate legal authorities and had it removed. But the internet is as vast and as tangled I cannot think of anything in comparison to weigh against it. I bet copies of the movie is still out there somewhere over the world wide web. Does BitTorrent ring a bell? Blame it the developers of the program because this was the real perpetrator behind the exponential illegal downloads of the said movie. I myself is an avid user of the mentioned software. Yeah, but I didn't succumbed to evil paws of downloading for me to have a copy of this flick and I think you already knew what I'm talking about. ;)  When I first read the word "full-length DVD quality," I imagined it as the actual movie that was about to hit the big screen, however I'm wrong. I forgot to include the word "illegal" in my self imposed day-dreaming. For putting the words together could totally entail a new and different meaning. It turned out the leaked version was also the "unedited version" of the motion picture. It contained missing effects, unedited scenes and some temporary sound and music. I even saw Hugh Jackman's harness on one of scenes which was totally unbelievable because I think and I believe Hollywood wouldn't allow such crappy job. There was also this scene that featured the young Scott Summers [Cyclops] being chased by Sabretooth. It made me laugh for a weird reason because of the obvious fakeness of the scene where you can see a computer generated version of Sabretooth crawling on the walls. In short, the leaked version was bad in terms of its special effects, bad as how you picture it would be for a Hollywood motion picture. No the picture on the left is just my exaggeration. :)It was very disappointing that some people had the courage to post this leaked version. It was ironically a very selfish thing to do in my opinion. How about the people behind the film who had worked painstakingly for the production of this film? I bet sleepless nights were required for the completion of this. And what will they get in return? Fans and other members of the public have already seen it? Forgive me if this sounds to be a hypocrite of me since I already saw the movie but at least I'm not a downloader myself. However, this just shows a bittersweet truth about technology; On how the internet's role has changed on the lives of the modern human beings over the past years. On how it can either create or destroy large entities all over the globe. Nevertheless it's a very easy argument really -- You either download it or you don't. I'm writing this, not because I wanted to blame the production team for being too complacent on the security of the release of the film. I'm writing this because I don't want movies like this to stop here. I want more comic book heroes to be alive on the big screen. I want more good comic book based movies to be produced in the following years. With Hollywood suffering, I think this incident should be considered as both an awakening truth and a lesson for all of us. This leak is not something to be proud of and I don't want to this to a detrimental catalyst that we will all regret at the end of the day. |

Vanity isn't a sin, a little narcissm wouldn't hurt. Greetings stranger! If you ever by any chance stumble upon this little world that I created myself in the vast and tangled universe of the world wide web, consider yourself warned. I am extremely well known for being enigmatic and difficult to understand. I may seem detached and incapable of revealing my innermost feelings simply because I am oftentimes unable to do so. Perhaps philosophical at times and is interested in what we called the unexplained. Consider me as a little bit of everything all rolled into one. On some days I can be social, fun loving, outgoing and creative on one hand my personality is also contrasted with being sarcastic, moody and stubborn. So while some days will be a hit and others a miss hopefully but most days, will be and should be better than others. Nonetheless, read at your own risk.In short, WELCOME to Planet Oblivion! A small planet in the blogosphere universe. Help me in my quest in finding a deeper meaning on what lies beneath this planet's surface.
