why i just ain't made right, part 777

[annlarimer]

I open up the nifty new U.S. edition of Hot Fuzz, take a gander at the fabuloid picture inserts, and the first thing I think is, Oh, wow, I could totally have a SANDFORD POLICE SERVICE rubber stamp made for one of those moleskine reporter notebooks.

And I did.

I still haven't gotten this yet. And it makes me sad, because the extras on the original release were such a let down.

[annlarimer]

I haven't actually seen it in a store, which is kind of weird.

On the other hand, I've only been to Target and the crafts store, so maybe it isn't.

[alpha_orionis_v]

I went to Target just to torture myself, since I can't afford it anyway, and when I asked the lady behind the counter if they had it, she asked what it was. So, I said it was an adrenaline-fuelled thrill-ride British cop movie, and she just kinda looked at me, and went

"Are you sure you're not thinking of ..." and then mentioned some movie I've never heard of.

It made me very sad.

[annlarimer]

I always answer with, "It's the finest English-language film since Citizen Kane."

[alpha_orionis_v]

Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that we were talking about Empire Strikes Back.

:P

[annlarimer]

Ew.

[alpha_orionis_v]

Oh, god. Don't tell me you're a new trilogy fan. D:

[annlarimer]

No, I...haven't really enjoyed once since A New Hope. Or, as we called it back then, Star Wars.

Don't even get me started on nuTrilogy. It's like a paper cut to the brain.

[alpha_orionis_v]

Oh, thank Xenu.

What is it about the Skywalker boys that all tend to be whiny emo punks, though?

[annlarimer]

Punkwalker didn't even act. He made Mark Hamill look like River Phoenix.

[alpha_orionis_v]

No kidding! UGH!

Why they didn't put Haley Joel Osmond (sp?) in the Phantom Menace is so beyond me. That kid would have been perfect.

[annlarimer]

Dunno. Mr Lucas claimed he liked Blank Kid's blankness. Maybe Haley was still stuck making A-fucking-I.

Which was a horrible movie, but still easier to watch than Phantom Menace.

[alpha_orionis_v]

Yeah, that was like, the year of the three-hour-movie, wasn't it? Nobody wants to sit in a cold theatre with nothing to eat but stale popcorn for that long unless there are some serious gun fights and car chases involved.
