Des arbres, des arbres et encore des arbres.

J'ai mal partout. Pourquoi? En un mot: Arbraska. Ceux qui savent ce que c'est me comprenne. Ceux qui ne le savent, Arbraska c'est un site situé à Rigaud où l'on peut, muni d'un harnais et de beaucoup de force physique et mental, se promener dans les arbre en 15 et 80 pieds dans les airs. Nous étions 22 du camps de jour où je travaille parfois et nous avons eu un plaisir fou. Nous avouns fait la piste "extrème" et nous étions tous très mort à la fin. Mais que de satisfaction personnel. Je vais essayer de trouver des photos et écrire le lien.

Ciao

Les films et les suites.

Lorsque que je vois un film, je le classe habituellement selon si je l'ai aimé ou non comme tout le monde. Mais j'ai aussi réalisé cette semaine que, inconsciemment, je les classe dans une autre catégorie: une suite ou non. Je m'explique. Il y a quatre type de film dans cette catégorie. 1) Les films finis, 2) les films "infinis", 3) les film dont on veut pas de suite, et finalement 4) les films dont on veut une suite. On peut ensuite les prendres seuls ou les combinés. Ca donne malheureusement de mauvais résultat dans le cas où on se retrouve avec 1 et 3 (Garfield, Scoobydoo, Scary movie...). Mais cela peut apporter de TRÈS bonne surprise dans le cas où on se retrouve avec un 1 et un 4, surtout quand cette suite survient après plusieur année. Vous avez probablement deviné, je veux parler de Clerks 2. Vous ne l'aviez pas deviné? Oh well. Too bad.

Je me dois d'ajouter une genre de cinquième classe à la catégorie. Je viens de voir le preview du film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle et je suis pas sur de quoi penser. Donc je fait 5) Suite en attente de classement. Les animations sont bonnes mais je ne sais pas à quoi m'attendre pour l'histoire. C'est à suivre...

Bon c'est assez.
