*stumbles in blearily*
Oh. Um. Are you all still here? Damn. I'd better entertain you, I guess. So, a duck walks into a bar ... oh, you've heard that one? Uh ...
*starts a little softshoe*
No? Okay. I suppose between a busy semester and running Science In Real Life I have let this fall by the wayside. But never fear, loyal readers! I have been collecting a few things on which I plan to post, ponder, and otherwise pontificate. We can start with a couple of movie related items.
- The Men Who Stare At Goats, a movie that somehow escaped my survey for the Spatial Rift's Semiannual Silver Screen Schedule. I don't know if I'm going to go to special effort to see it in theaters, but it looks great. Let's review the facts: a quirky slice of life movie about a wacky project, including incompetent government officials, starring George Clooney and Jeff Bridges, the latter as a groovy hippie. Can someone do me a favor and call the Coen brothers? Someone has stolen their latest movie and I feel they need to be made aware of this fact. Thank you.
- Zombieland. Fantastic. Amazing. Terrific, wonderful, hilarious, thoughtful, endearing, and dare I say it inspirational. Okay sure, the zombies as modern mass culture metaphor is a little played out, but Zombieland's take on it is nonetheless heartwarming. And I must say it is a relief that the slightly dorky, quiet protagonist in search of love was not played by Michael Cera.
That's all for now. Soon, I will discuss my trip yesterday to Boston Comic Con, with pictures!
