two birds, one stone

I'm such a fucking tool. Using my banner ad as my art. :B
Finished banner for my new lj-based space pirate rp, Aegean Balkazine. It is now up and running! :O Rejoice! It has giant robots and light sabers! Check it out at aegbalk!

So, I saw Forbidden Kingdom yesterday. I gotta say, I really enjoyed it. Yes, everything was rather predictable. Yes, the New York sub-plot would have worked better in the 90s (seriously, are there any gangsters like that AT ALL anymore?). And, yes, it was derivative of Wizard of Oz. Still, special effects were stunning, martial arts were awesome. Jackie Chan fighting Jet Li with a staff? Man, that was like porn for me. I love staff forms. That was AMAZING.
It was silly, it was weird, it was great. Go see it.

Heh. I train with a guy called 'The Monkey King' by a lot of other martial artists. He specializes in monkey style kung fu, and he even paints his face like a baboon when he does demos. I'd like to find out what he thought about it.
