Work is crazy. I can't wait for the holidays to be over.

Oh, and Bill O'Reilly has a vendetta against Barnes & Noble, because he claims we are the "#1 retailer in the War Against Christmas". *rolls eyes* Get a life, dude.

Jason and I saw National Treasure: Book of Secrets tonight, which was quite fun. It wasn't as awesome as the first one, but ( Read more... )

Thankfully, I haven't gotten any of these crazies coming up to me and bitching. Besides, it's so busy right now that I don't think they have time to stop me long enough to do it.

Let me know what you think after you see it. There are a few people (including Scotty P) who want me to see it again with them. I'm not sure I can; I might explode.

Let me know what you think. My friend Jason was just a spazmatic as I, but I'm wondering what other people thought, too.

I just got back from it....and let me say, I was pleasantly surprised and disgusted. I really want to buy the soundtrack. I'm not sure how exactly I feel about the movie. I had a hard time because I really felt bad for Sweeney!!

It was magnificently done- not that I expected anything other than that from Tim Burton.

Well, you do carry that Mystic Compass book, and everyone knows that reading that will make you into an athiest-terrorist-murderer-child killer. Duh.

As for Sweeny; wow. I had no idea it was supposed to be like that; i figured it would be a bit dark, but overall light and musical-ish. Now i have to see it sooner :)

LOL. But His Dark Materials is so made of awesome! Fie O'Reilly! Fie! A pox be upon him.

See, the play was more campy, but not Python-esque, so I just thought it was really, really weird. The tone was different. It was still dark, but this film was so much more. Granted, there were a lot of funny bits (especially with Sascha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter earlier in the film), but the ending just destroyed me.

You're suprised I didn't wait for anyone or anything to see a Johnny Depp movie? Specifically a Johnny Depp/Tim Burton collaboration. In which Johnny Depp sings.

You do know me, right? ;)

Yes, obviously - but will you still attend the double feature?

Which? National Treasure & Sweeney Todd? Because I've already seen both...

If we go to matinees, you might convince me to see them again. But I don't want to pay $10 to see movies I've already seen again.
