I'm studying the skeletal sytem in my anatomy class. I'm glad I don't have to memorize all 206 bones.
American Idol needs to end NOW, so I can go back to watching House. Have been reduced to watching DVDs of Blackadder for my Laurie fix.
Watched "Freddy Vs Jason" last night on the Sci-Fi Channel. As I watched the credits, my mind having been suitably numbed by two hours of gore, I noticed that two writers were responsible for this film. It took two people to write the script for "Freddy Vs Jason"? Imagine the script meetings:
Writer #1: I've got a great idea: Freddy Krueger goes mano-a-mano with Jason Voorhees!
Writer #2: Excellent! The studio desperately needs to drain the wallets of teens in horrible customer service jobs.
#1: Absolutely! So here's the deal: Freddy gets Jason to kill someone for him, but the hitch is that Jason won't stop killing once the Magical Machete of Doom has been placed into his eager hands. Then, the Scooby Gang has to stop them both.
#2: Who's in the Scooby Gang?
#1: Relative unknowns, who can use this to fill their resumes. And Kelly Rowland, you know, from Destiny's Child?
#2: Kelly Rowland? Hey, she's a talented woman. She sings, she acts...why put her in this godawful not-quite-a-sequel?
#1: Don't worry. Beyonce's doing the remake of the "Pink Panther" and that film will probably suck, too.
#2: Oh, okay. Who dies?
#1: Everyone.
#2: No survivors? No more not-quite-a-sequel films? You know, we could make a tag-team horror film: "Alien Vs Predator Vs Freddy Vs Jason". Whaddaya think?
#1: I'm putting my money on the Alien.
#2: Me, too. We gotta have survivors.
#1: Okay, one girl. The Holy Virgin of Horror Films. She always lives. 'Cause the easiest way to die in one of these movies is...
#2: To fornicate. Yeah, I know. Okay, the Holy Virgin lives. She got a boyfriend?
#1: Yeah.
#2: Does he live?
#1: Why not? I'm feeling generous today.
#2: She needs a witty catchphrase. Like Freddy's.
#1: She steals one of his catchphrases: "Welcome to my world, bitch!"
#2: Perfect.
