I had another dream last night that I was back in high school, and as usual, I couldn't remember my locker combination. So I'm trying to get into the locker and remember the numbers and of course, I can't for the life of me. Which isn't part of reality at all because back in school, I kept my schedule and my locker info in my purse all the time. Anyway, a large part of the dream consisted of me walking the halls, which I do a lot in these dreams. ::shrug:: Walking the halls and trying doors. And the doors never lead to the same place twice. Then I went into a classroom and sat down, and the guy next to me smelled really bad. Some kid across the table claimed it must be me who smelled and started making fun of me, and saying that he hoped I didn't fall for him because it would be such a pain to have a smelly girl in love with him. I go, "Like I'd ever like you--you're too young for me. What are you, 9 or 10?" XD Best insult I ever got off in a dream.
Remembered some more stuff I liked in "Chill Factor!" One of these is a spoiler, but you could pretty much figure out the ending from just knowing that it's a buddy comedy. Anyway, liked the moment where Mason (Skeet) said they were going to go down the hill in the bass boat to make a quick escape, and Arlo (Cuba Gooding Jr.) looks over the cliff and yells, "OH HELL NO!" with plenty of sass. XD Cracked me up. Then the part at the end was pretty cute where Arlo and Mason are trying to make a case for them getting some kind of payback from the US govt. for saving all those people, and the govt. dude suggests that he has the authority to *kill* them just to keep everything classified if he wanted to, and Mason makes this face like *he's actually considering it.* XD "Hmm, death, payback, death, payback..." ...it was so funny. I usually hate movies where the main charas spend most of their time fighting (hello, "Blair Witch..."), but Skeet and Cuba had good buddy chemistry, so it was actually really funny when they started arguing. Funny dialogue too.
There was at least one line of dialogue that was not natural, but Skeet delivered it so naturally that it took me a minute to realize that nobody ever would have said it that way. XD The part where he's trying to get Arlo to get the knife out of his back pocket so they can cut themselves loose, and he says, "Put your hand in my pants." Of course Arlo reacts like O_o and Mason (Skeet) explains he has a knife in his back pocket, get it. Now, although it's funny, you'd never say it that way, "Put your hand in my pants," unless you were in a hurry and just said it without thinking or something. (Or you actually had the knife stashed *in* your pants.) But he delivered the line so well that I totally didn't get that it was wacky dialogue for the sake of a cheap laugh until I was done laughing. XD
Oh, and Hudson Leick was in this too! With her short 'do. It fit this character, but I always liked Callisto better with long hair. And I liked how Arlo kept calling Mason "Night Shift" for 3/4 of the movie because he didn't know his name. Well he did work the night shift at the diner... "Make him stand up, Night Shift!" Nice touch.
Hoo hoo. Good movie. ^_^
I got a steak omelette at IHOP tonight, with salsa on top. Their omelettes are so big that I can never finish one in one sitting, so I have about half left for later. Eyuuuuuummmmm. And they have pumpkin pancakes right now; I may try those next week. Sounds de-lish.
food!,
