Not contradicting yourself: Fail.
you couldnt even manage the magician trick could you, movie? Y'know, the one where you give me pretty things to look at so I dont notice/care that there's no plot? Like G.I. Joe did? man, that movie was pretty cool for being an awesome fun action romp... with no story to speak of.
ah well. The Core = Epic facepalm.
gorram stupid movie. It's the first in a long time that I've actually contemplated not watching the end, but I have a wierd obsession with movies/books I hate where I NEED TO FINISH IT! thats why I speed red my way through Twilight - just so I could finish the damn things and be done with it.
I also watched the day the earth stood still. Didnt make me as angry as the core did, but meh. Keanu, I dont understand why I ever liked you. ok, well you are kinda hot, but you have one expression and that annoying as hell voice.
One movie I have watched recently and absaloutly loved (I'm raiding dads movie collection atm cos I'm bored as hell) was Iron Man. I can't work out why I haven't seen it earlier. Man, that movie is awesome! I asked N about if he thought it was a good movie before watching it, and the answer was "Hell Yes". 5 minutes in, I txted him with "5 minutes of movie gone. I am jizzing in my pants at how awesome this is."... or something to that effect.
its pretty, its funny, it's got plot, the effects are well done, and I'm putting robert downey Jnr on my "list of actors I love to see in action". Having seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang not too long ago, I find myself developing a fondness for him. I love the way he delivers his lines, I love the humour. He's pretty awesome.
Also, this is win:

I'm planning on getting it made, with the mid/full gore, the name "Nickerockers" and the number 86 (Nickerockers is my xbox live gamertag and I was born in 86) and the optional crest on the sleeve, the one that says "kill as many zombies and vampires as you can". Then I can wear it while playing Left 4 dead 2 with mah zombie killing peeps.
