Happy 2013. I saw Life of Pi yesterday and I liked it very much. It wasn't the story for making me believe in god, but it did reassure my belief in Ang lee as a creator of beautiful images. I can see in this movie a lot of the resources he used in Hulk without the giant green baby that made that movie into a joke. 2013 I will try to be more pro with the handling of this blog.

This is the Goblin President.
His Mother was a Human. His Father was a Goblin.
They both disowned him very early.
He is to cute to be a proper Goblin and too ugly to be a human.
Everybody hates him.
When he is alone in his cave, he climbs over a headless mannequin, and sits on the neck.
For a few moments he feels like he's a human. It feels good.
