Random Mini Catch Up Post
Okay, this is the AWESOME Rescue Me promo that I was talking about before (and the song I got hooked on):
- Oh, and BTW Robyn, the BFF wants to know how any self respecting woman DOESN'T watch a show full of hot/hilarious firemen? :P
- HATE hate HATE Norton Antivirus. I have been MIA from online for the last two days because when I installed the upgrade they tole me to and restarted my comouter it wouldn't let me IN anything. I couldn't click on desktop icons, I couldn't open the 'start' menu, NOTHING. And now, all of a sudden it seems to be working. I was so ready to chuck it out the window, and as per usual the Geek Squad was about as much help as if I talked to a wall *sigh*.
- THANK YOU Twin, for my VGift :) I love you too darling! But you already know that! :) OH, and did I mention that the guest room you have here is bigger than my room? LMAO! It is my sister's old room, and I could have moved in there when she left, but I didn't :P
- Got a postcard for the 'LA Con Postcard Project' from a GUY! A MALE! Dude, I was so excited! *happy!dance* Oh, and if anyone feels like spreading the word about it more, I will be greatful. I think people forgot about it, I'll be posting a 'remider' soon, hopefully later tonight. Also, I am actually really proud to be able to give the guys something from a bunch of fans that is so personalized yet individual (if that makes sense to you). SO I want it to be as much as possible.
- Saw 'Watchmen' at 12:01 this morning, and had to be at work at 5am. SO, I didn't sleep at all (cause hello, three hour movie, and then the drive home and I wasn't exactly tired anyways).
QUICK REVIEW WITHOUT SPOILERS:
I liked the movie. JDM in leather being all badass was definitely worth the sleep deprivation! And I like Patrick Wilson from other stuff. I was really surprised by a few things (won't mention, cause they are highly spoilery) but wasn't surprised by who was the 'baddie'. Oh, also? The theatre for this wasn't as packed as for Friday the 13th (which I only mention because I think it says something about the weird ass backwater hicks that live in my town) I am ore than sure the numbers for this will blow Friday the 13th out of the water, but I was cracking up to myself that my town is chalk full of people who would rather watch some psycho kill campers than a magnificently done graphic novel adaption movie.
Also? WAY too many young (teenage) kids. I totally thought it would be a little more 'mature' (like my age and above a little, 20's and 30's) of a crowd. Cause the graphic novel came out in the 80's right? So, when I was waiting in line (and stopped bugging Carina, sorry hun) I was reading my book I brought (yes, I am so Rory, don't ask) and got looks like "WTF is she DOING.....what is that square thing she is holding...?" so I am thinking that the teenagers came because of the trailers and not because they were big fans of the novel, they didn't exactly strike me as 'readers' ;). OH, and I saw some guy (when we were coming out of the theater) that had a 'Watchmen Comic Con 2008' shirt on, and I was totally like 'OMG, I went there TOO!' Ha!
Okay, one last note. The hardcore fans (I figured cause they kept mentioning the novel) were less than impressed. One guy actually was like 'Wow, that sucked....I think I built it up in my head too much'. And was replied to with hearty agreement from random people around him (that weren't with himm, sparking mass discussion around me as I left). Saying things like "the graphic novel was more lively that that!' along with 'All the good parts were in the trailer!' and 'I expected it to be more epic, more...I don't know' and 'It fizzled out about half way thorough'. And I was all but leaving my mouth hanging open listening to their complaints. I thought that it WAS epic. I mean, I haven't ever seen such convincing special effects for something like this (hello, completely glowing blue man people! Among other things, that is just the first that pops into my head). Once again, I wish to point out my poor podunk town. *sigh* these people wouldn't know a GOOD movie if it smacked them upside the head apparently. So, the point being that I want to apologize to my Twin, cause she will inevitably run into these morons when she is here visiting. Sorry in advance hun.
- Ummmm...sure I had more to say, but oh well, I am gonna past date a few posts with random stuff. :) Hope everyone had a good Watchmen Day.
- OH, also, my email hates me and decided to not give my updates while I was all MIA, so if you think I need to read anything of yours that you posted, can link me please? Thanks :P
