I preordered Codename: S.T.E.A.M. (out March 13th) yesterday. While I was there, I tried to by a points card for Wii. Last time I got the DSi card and it was good for Wii too. When the Gamestop saleman scanning though, it was no good. So no more points cards for Wii. I'll have to use a card to get my virtual console games or spend big money for a Wii-U. Or, I could get the games I want on 3DS. I'm considering that right now. I'll probably go Wii though.

I saw the film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou last night. I really loved it. William Dafoe is so darn good. He plays a German technician who clearly idolizes Steve. Darn he's a good actor. He was an arch villain in The Grand Budapest Hotel (another Wes Anderson film) a totally different character equally well acted. Anyway, I mention this here because there's a Steve Zissou pinball machine shown in the movie. They couldn't show video games because the fictional world they're in parallels the 1950's and 60s.

Good algorithms to you.

Codename: S.T.E.A.M. looks funny.

I fell asleep last time i tried to watch Life Aquatic. Need to try again. Also need to see Grand Budapest.

Both are really good. I love the style of cinematography, the set design, and the whole look of his movies.

I really liked Moonrise Kingdom and thought Fantastic Mr. Fox was pretty decent.

I haven't seen Moonrise Kingdom. I'm going to have to do a Wes Anderson marathon to catch up with his earlier flicks.
