I went to see it this morning at 12:01am with Travis, Jared, Justin and Vito.  We all agreed it was time and money well spent.  A unique and satisfying film with exceptional digital effects and effects integration.  The mixing of media and camera styles to relate the story allowed for a free flowing flick with only a few hiccups.  I'd highly ( Read more... )

I type this to you from a spicy gently used Dell system that is so wonderlicious I can't even let my mind think back to the old laptop I was working with for fear I might wake up from this new techno dreamland I've fallen into.  But yeah, having a computer that does what you'd like it to do in a timely fashion sure does increase my happiness.

Now if ( Read more... )

I watched most of it yesterday and finished it today.  I love Charlie Kaufman's work (Being John Malkovitch, Adaptation) and this film was really something to take in.  I never get tired of seeing Katherine Keener on the screen, that's for sure.  Anyhow, this passage comes from a scene in which an actor playing a priest is given a new "scene" to ( Read more... )

I went to Best Buy today because I'm slowly buying every season of I Love Lucy and Battlestar Galactica (damn, BSG is expensive).  I'm holding off on buying LOST because I want to see if they are going to release Season 2 on Bluray.  But I'll probably end up buying it on DVD because I tend to get impatient.

I finished Chuck Klosterman's Downtown Owl ( Read more... )

I just got home from seeing the Watchmen. I just put down my wallet and keys, gave Isaac some attention and now I'm sitting here typing away. My history with Watchmen is limited. I didn't really even know it existed until about a year ago when people began talking about the adaptation. And then at San Diego ComicCon that was all anyone was ( Read more... )

I'm thinking I might just go see a movie tonight instead of watching the Oscars.  I still haven't seen Slumdog or The Wrestler.

( Thoughts on LOST - Spoilers Included )

It's been a while so why not end my Friday with a Meme to pass a little time at the office...

01. Name a movie that you have seen more than 10 times:
The Goonies

02. Name a movie that you've seen multiple times in a theatre:
Titanic - I think I went 5 times...

03. Name an actor that would make you more inclined to see a movie:
Katherine Keener or Tilda ( Read more... )

Had a nice one... pooped out for sure now... but good times good times good times...

On Friday I met up with some of the guys to see the new Bill Mahr flick, Religulous. It's EXCELLENT. You might think it's just a mockery of organized religion and the faith business (and it is) but it goes beyond that and does a nice turn towards the end of the ( Read more... )

If you've never been kayaking on the ocean you should really get out and do that - like tomorrow.  You know, before the weather gets too cold.  A bunch of us went on Sunday and I had the time of my life.  What an excellent way to get my mind of things that are complicated and to make life (if only for a moment) just about keeping afloat, laughing ( Read more... )

Wow, 11 days since my last entry. I will admit that last week was a bit of a blur. I worked some days from home and when I do that I don't really take any LJ breaks because working from home is sorta its own break by itself. But I think I'm also going through one of those periods where I just don't feel the need to plug in as much as I had been ( Read more... )
