pandamonium and crusades

i'm not usually a fan of animations. but while on the bus, i saw the trailer for the latest panda movie to hit this summer: Kungfu Panda.


my initial reaction was oh cock another one of those lame ass cartoons. but then 1 brief moment totally changed by perception towards it. the trailer was quite funny i must admit, but at the end of the teaser where was the usual tacky tagline, that's where it made all the difference.

usually cheesy flicks will have something that goes like "armageddon comes this summer" or "this summer comes the ride of your life" or some other totally poppycock smart-ass comment that just turns people off. but kungfu panda has probably got one of the funniest ever: "pandamonium starts june 6". the spelling just cracked me up instantly, and it made me look like a complete cock on the bus laughing my yellow ass off. embarrasing, but it's so good i don't even care.

and the canterbury crusaders won the 2008 super 14 yesterday. it was a pretty exciting game. i thought the game should have swung in favour of the waratahs though, but fate dictated that the crusaders would triumph yet again. now, the test season's coming up, next week is the first test between ireland and the men in black. it's gonna be a hell of a spectacle with so many new faces!
