I haven't updated in quite a few days despite my best intentions. I'd like to say it's because I've been off running through my own personal training montage only to have returned with several levels in badass, but the reality is I've just been twiddling my thumbs. I sometimes wonder if the entire idea of the 80's training montage helped to warp a ( Read more... )

Well, it looks like AMC has finally updated their site and provided the list of theaters running their movie marathon promotion. The good news is that one of the nearby theaters is involved. The bad news is that the amount of information provided is still lacking. It doesn't say anything about which days the marathon will run or anything about the ( Read more... )

Last last week I ran across a link for a special event at AMC theaters. They're running a marathon of all the Oscar Best Picture nominees for a very reasonable price and it comes with all the popcorn you can stomach. For those of you who aren't in the know (and I wasn't before seeing the site), those 5 films are: Milk, The Reader, Slumdog ( Read more... )

It's been a real movie bonanza tonight on network tv. I've watched a bit of mission impossible 2, saw most of mission impossible 3, and just finished watching oceans 11. Since I don't go out to the movies much anymore, all of these were new to me and I was pretty entertained for the most part. Tv movies have gotten much better then they used to be ( Read more... )

I'm watching Can't Buy Me Love on tv right now and I'm feeling all nostalgic. I absolutely love this movie. It reminds me of those happier and naive days of yore back when I hadn't yet realized that women are evil and love is for chumps. Of course, if you want to view this movie cynically, the main message is probably still true and that it all ( Read more... )

• Flipping through the air always gets you further and faster than running
• The guy with the most pathetic weapon always kicks the most ass. Guns < Swords < Poles < Everyday furniture < fans < chopsticks < long sleeves.
• Sound effects make all the difference.
• Always read any raggedy-ass pamphlets with stick figures doing kung-fu on them. Especially if ( Read more... )

I never really realized it before now, but the Chinese have a real inferiority complex going. I remember reading an article a few weeks ago about the Olympics which made a big deal out of the fact that it would be the way that they could finally one up the world. I didn't give the theory much credence at the time, since it seems like a pretty ( Read more... )

The past week or so has not been all that much fun. I've been having pain management issues again and I've spent a lot of time in a perpetual twilight of sorts. The pain makes it difficult to concentrate for long periods of time and so I've been spending my time mostly doing passive things. I've watched more movies in the past three days than I've ( Read more... )

I snagged a copy of The Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising yesterday. Suffice to say, I did not buy a copy of their dvd. I guess at this point this could devolve into a convoluted defense of what is, in fact, blatant theft but you're lucky in that I don't give a flying fuck and that sort of sophistry bores the hell out of me. No, it's probably not right and ( Read more... )

If I ever get into a fight with a buncha guys and a little guy in pajamas just stands by watching with his arms folded, I'll know I'm fucked.
