"Dead Snow" and Bitches
Which do you want to hear about first? Dead Snow or bitches? Ok, Dead Snow it is.
Last night we went to a midnight movie at Sundance called Dead Snow. It is a movie about a group of 20ish kids renting a cabin in Norway for spring break and Nazi Zombies attacking them. The Nazi Zombies come from World War II when the Nazis controlled this little town, but were driven out by the townspeople and into the woods. Somehow they became zombies. So they start attacking these kids in a very funny and very very gory movie. As my friend Chris put it, there was gratuitous use of intestines. Chris later asked me how much of the movie I had my eyes open for. :) The movie was subtitled but even so, the jokes translated well. The movie had great timing and the crowd was laughing and jumping with fear. I really liked the movie, but really gory (in a strangely funny way). Rent it if you ever see it.
Here is the preview for the movie:

Now for the bitches. When we went to get on the bus to go back to our car after the movie, there were people standing in the doorway of the bus, but the bus wasn't that full. So, I very nicely asked if they could move into the bus so that we could get on. The girl says 'no'. I said 'but we can't get on the bus unless you move into the bus'. She says, 'go ahead and get on'. At this point I am really pissed. So I said 'In polite society, people get on the bus, and then move towards the back of the bus so that others can get on'. She said, 'oh, I'm not that kind of bus riding girl'. Seriously. At this point she and he boyfriend had moved to the side enough for us to get on. So we squish past them (regretting not stomping on her $400 boots now) loudly talking about how unbelievable rude they were. We almost came to blows (not kidding). My friend Jen tells me that she called me 'a granola' as we passed by.
This wasn't an isolated incident. People are being really rude. There was even a fist fight going on outside of a bar.
On the bus ride, it had to do a 3 point u-turn because of an accident and a car drove up over the sidewalk behind the bus while the bus was backing up. The bus would have hit him if everyone on the bus hadn't started yelling 'whoa, whoa'. Missed that car by about 3 inches. People were just being stupid.
I was really not prepared for all the snotty better than thou bitches to roll into our nice sleepy town. Now I know why the locals mostly just stay at home or leave town for the week. Next year I am not going down there.
PS - I didn't realize till yesterday that it was back in style to (a) tuck your jeans into your boots and (b) wear leggings. I did the boot thing in 8th grade and it was stupid then.
