(no subject)
I feel like I've been at work all weekend. I suppose that's the downside of working at a church. We're starting our new evening worship format tonight and I have no idea what to expect, but I've got a splitting headache, which isn't conducive to great amounts of sprituality.
I saw two really great flicks yesterday - Cabin Fever and Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Okay, maybe really great is overstating, but they were both incredibly fun. I was already disposed to like Cabin Fever because it was made by Eli Roth, who, among his other distinguishing characteristics, is the man responsible for the world premiere of "Raiders of the Lost Ark - the Adaptation" (a fan-made shot-for-shot remake of Speilberg's original . . . this is simply the coolest thing ever . . . I may do a post about it later).
As for Once Upon a Time in Mexico, I had never seen the original Desperado of which this is supposed to be the sequel, but now I want to. This movie was quite bad-***, and Johnny Depp, as usual, is very fine (physically and dramatically speaking). I loved the C.I.A. t-shirt (Cleavage Inspection Agent), and his line "Are you a Mexi-can, or are you a Mexi-can't?". Depp was all-around cool in this, Antonio Banderas will knock you on your hiney, Salma Hayek was make-you-absolutely-sick gorgeous, and even Enrique Iglesias was pretty good. My one big problem - Willem Dafoe as the Mexican drug lord. I don't know why they couldn't have gotten an actual Hispanic actor instead of Wisconsin-born Dafoe.
On the debate front:
I'm done (for the moment) whining about it. It's just asinine. When you have to call the opposing side's IQ into question because you've run out of things to argue, that's just sad.
