I don't know if I would find the following viral for the upcoming Gentlemen Broncos so hilarious, if my step-father wasn't such a big fan of those sci-fi novels.
What's even funnier in my opinion is the audio book excerpt at the website. I've never read any of my step-father's sci-fi books, but that is what I imagine they all are like. I also recommend the galleries section on the website for the pre-pubescent works.

Movies That Suck Sunday IV is on the horizon. I tested out animoto.com to put together a look back at the last three.
Update: I felt the previous video was lacking something, so I "remixed" it as the site likes to call it.
Just saw a wonderful documentary tonight called "Confessions of a Superhero" that belongs in my Snobfest of 2007. It follows four people that work as superhero characters along Hollywood Blvd. It is a fascinating study of four people who only have their quest for fame and their job in common. There's Superman the veteran of boulevard and son of a former actress. The Hulk is portrayed by a man who came to LA during the riots and lived on the streets. A young Hollywood hopeful who married early plays Wonder Woman. Finally, there is the slightly frightening Batman who has a questionable background. This isn't made to laugh at these people that dress up, but to see why these people do it every day. The film then turns into something more as these people open their life to the cameras. I highly recommend this film.
Once - Is there a more tonally satisfying last shot than the one in this movie?
No Country for Old Men - If you had to be stalked by either Michael Myers or Anton, who would you choose? I think I'd go Myers.
Hot Fuzz - I really wish "By the power of Greyskull" would have caught on as a catch phrase for 2007.
The Lookout - ...
Juno - Went in expecting another Little Miss Sunshine, but was pleasantly surprised. I am getting awfully tired of these Mod/60's folk/ indie rock soundtracks. I thought Wes Anderson already called dibs on all the Kinks songs? The duet at the end though made it worth it. Is anyone else surprised that we haven't tired of Michael Cera's schtick? This sounds like I'm backhand complimenting the movie. I really enjoyed it. Loved the parents. Loved how it didn't stick with Garner's character being the "bad" one in the marriage. Very funny.
Ratatouille - With this gem, The Incredibles, and The Iron Giant, Brad Bird has his trifecta. I guess that's why he's moving on to direct live action.
3:10 to Yuma - Maybe I just sorely missed a good western, but I enjoyed this movie immensely.
Knocked Up - Apatow still needs an editor, but he's consistent.
Misc. Honors:
Best Efficient Action Movie with a Crappy Sucker Punch Message Ending: The Kingdom
Best I Shouldn't be Enjoying this Movie as Much as I am to the Extent that I'm Feeling a Little Guilty About it Movie: Shoot 'em Up
Best Beautiful Mess of a Movie: There Will Be Blood - I like that this movie has brought out A Reader's Manifesto type criticism. I think it fits. At times I was annoyed and at times bewildered and at times enamored. I fully support this movie and the experimentation of it, but I didn't love it.
To ring in the first "big" movie of the year, I though I would do a hardly famous Titan review of Cloverfield.
Take this as a good sign or a bad sign, but Cloverfield is exactly the movie I thought it would be but not what I would hope it would be. It is a kind of Blair Witch and Godzilla mash-up. Rather than focus the story on scientists and the military trying to stop the monster destroying Manhattan, the movie tells the story of those caught underfoot of the monster. Its a smart idea, and is technically pulled off quite well. A group pretty young urban professionals gather to send off their friend, Rob, who is moving to Japan to be vice president of something. After establishing who's who through normal party talk and relationship banter, all hell breaks loose as the monster attacks. The small group of friends led by Rob try to get out of Manhattan alive. There are some nice set pieces from getting caught in a fire fight between the military and the monster to walking through a subway tunnel to a quick stop at a military post. The hand held camera on the whole works well by putting the viewer in the dust and screams filling Manhattan. There are still cliche's like the night vision scene that you know would happen, and was ten times scarier in The Descent. There are no answers given to where the monster came from ala Tremors. It's just people trying to survive. My problem is I didn't care. The characters come across like they are from some teen TV drama. They are young, pretty, whiny, and disposable. We don't care that Rob wants to go back and save the girl who he never told he loved. Shouldn't they have characters we can maybe identify with? Though who else would film themselves trying to escape a monster destroying Manhattan? Maybe that is the point in this You Tube inspired movie. But you have to care if they die don't you? Cloverfield is a solid popcorn monster movie that is cleverly done and tightly paced. I just wish I cared.
Last night, HBO was showing Die Hard in glorious HD. It took a lot of will power not to watch the whole thing. Many people have gone on and on about the greatness that is Die Hard. From Bruce Willis to Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber to how the movie began a new genre in the action thriller movie, it's all been said.
I watched a couple scenes last night. The first scene was when McClane first sees his wife. The slimy co-worker Harry Ellis then makes a big deal about Holly showing the Rolex the company gave her as "A little token of our appreciation for all her work."
After that scene I thought the Harry Ellis character never gets enough credit in Die Hard. Isn't he the perfect caricature of the 80's corporate yuppie. "Hey babe, I negotiate million dollar deals for breakfast. I think I can handle this Eurotrash." He puts American Psycho's Patrick Bateman character to shame. Also, he's the perfect "victim" that's so slimy the audience cheers when the villain kills him? Sure he's only in the movie for all of four scenes, but Die Hard wouldn't be Die Hard with out you. Here's to you Harry Ellis.
"Hans? What am I a method actor? Put away the gun this is radio not television."
"Hans, bubby, I'm your white knight!"
Sunday Robert and I played a little Guitar Hero. After playing the rhythm guitar part of Free Bird on the hard difficulty session I wonder if I'm strengthening my wrists and fingers or am I destroying them. In five years am I going to have to replace my hands with prosthetics?
Saturday I went to see Anne's new place in Silverlake. It's a great little place. It also was so nice driving only a half hour to see my sister.
Also, while eating at Mallie's (?) with Anne and Ben we saw Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords fame. Unfortunately, Ben and Anne have not had the pleasure of seeing the show. Luckily, the lady sitting next to us had, and was extremely enthusiastic about seeing him. So it seems the ladies love Bret, and the guys like Jermaine.
Thursday was my last physical therapy session. Sigh. I've been trying to work a monthly massage now into my budget. But I still don't think it'd be the same without the therapist. Apparently, if I hurt something else I can go back. Hmm.
Monday some coworkers and I went to go see the Simpson's movie after work. Rather than give some long review about the movie, let me talk about something else: the overlaugher. Sitting right behind me was the overlaugher. I despise the overlaugher. In fact the overlaugher is in the upper echelon of people I despise. Are they scared to appear as if they don't get every joke? Do they want to make sure that everyone knows what the funny parts are? Why do they have to be the loudest person in the theater? I will hate a movie just out of spite because of the overlaugher. I hate you overlaugher. I hate you.
This Saturday marks the beginning of my second season as a Tottenham Hotspur supporter. I actually think Spurs have a chance to break into the top four this season. High hopes.
I wish I was as creative in real as I am in my dreams. Also, is everyone's dreams as excellently edited and have as great frame composition as mine? Technically, my dreams are top notch.
Conquest (There is a trailer but it is unfortunately NSFW)
Quote of the Night: "Speeeeeeeeeeeeed!"
There was also much rocking.
You missed this last night:
And this (You only need to watch the first minute):
I would like to blame an exciting and busy life for my lack of blogging. Unfortunately, it would be a lie. But let me give you an update on the mundane that is my life.
It's been three days now in a row that I haven't worn a hat. The Enbrel's working well. Now if everyone would stop pointing out that I'm not wearing a hat I'd be set.
My therapist was thrilled when I showed up at the office without a hat. It's the happiest I've seen her during our sessions. She still pauses for extended periods of time in order to force me to carry the conversation. It drives me a little batty to the point that I just want to throw out something like: "I've found myself becoming more distracted and forgetful. Like this morning I completely forgot to put out the new air fresheners I bought last night. All day I was stressed out that someone will smell the dead body in my closet."
Speaking of therapy, I've come to terms with the massages for my physical therapy. It helps that the aide that gives me the massages is cute, and either really likes me or is easy. I guess either way that's a win. Still, if I ever did actually ask her out she would have the upper hand considering the vulnerable position she has me in twice a week. I should wait till after I finish physical therapy.
As promised, I picked up the new Blitzen Trapper album Wild Mountain Nation. It's been stuck in heavy rotation since I picked it up. I guess you could call them a psychedelic country rock group, but they hit on other genre's too like the indie pop of Futures & Folly, the Beckish Sci-Fi Kid, or the Supergrassed glam of Murder Babe. Things is they cross from genre to genre effortlessly and with such joy that it works. There is still that twang and oodles of slide guitar that makes me keep this band in the psychedelic country rock category.
Saw the movie Once, and really enjoyed it. The scene where they first play together in the music shop caused the room to get a little dusty. That was then followed by numerous scenes where the dust in the room kept building up. It's such a simple and joyful film. I do have one question though: Is this movie a musical? It's loaded with music and the characters in the movie sing the songs on screen. It's just that when they sing it's natural. They sing when they are writing or playing a song, not out of the blue the whole cast breaks into song norm of the standard musical. I don't think it is a musical, but some reviewers list it as a musical. I just don't want to admit I like a musical.
This weekend the horror movie you've all been waiting for opens in LA and NY. Get ready because it's coming soon to a theater near you. Well, except for Mandy. I doubt your little theater is going to book this.
Sometimes weird just works in a music video. I kept waiting for one of them to screw up.
28 Weeks Later is as good and in some ways better than 28 Days Later. You perhaps might have been concerned that with a new director and new writer that the sequel would blow. You wouldn't be the only one. I had those same concerns, and after seeing the movie last night I can say confidently that you can put those concerns aside.
Like Dawn of the Dead did for Night of the Living Dead, 28 Weeks Later does for 28 Days Later. 28 Weeks later the Rage virus that wiped out most of England has been eliminated. NATO forces have set up a cordoned off area of London to begin rebuilding and repopulating. Of course it all goes horribly wrong. We then follow a small group of people trying to survive not only the horrors of the infected but the military's method to ensure the infection is contained. As with 28 Days, the horror isn't always from the monster's pursuit but from the humans. 28 Weeks Later is relentless with some truly terrifying set pieces. It's not for everyone, but it will be the best horror movie you see this year. Some might not like the final shot, but I enjoyed it. Here's hoping there is a final movie to conclude the trilogy. I guess that would make it 28 months later?
Finally got around to seeing Spiderman 3 Monday night, and since Jiff requested a review that is what he'll get. I'm all about pleasing my readers and giving them what they want. Sometimes you might not think you want it, but later on you'll thank me. Also, there are perhaps some spoilers in this, but I'm pretty sure none of them should be a surprise if you've seen the trailers or are familiar with the Spiderman story. Still, if you want to play it safe...
I imagine Spiderman 3 is a lot like dating three girls at the same time. All three girls are great, but because there are a limited numbers of hours in a day you can't spend as much time as you want with either of them. In Spiderman 3 there are three great villains but even in the near three hour running time there isn't enough time to spend with all of them. Sandman, Venom, and Harry/New Goblin are all characters that deserve their own movie. Cramming all three in a movie along with Peter Parker and MJ's romance troubles hasn't led to simply a lack of development but a bad script. At first we have Sandman an escaped convict that Peter learns is the person that actually killed his uncle. Sandman's daughter is used to show his sympathetic motivation, but then we never see her again. The movie then completely tosses aside his motivation to get to the final battle. Which is a shame because the birth of Sandman is fantastic along with a his first battle with Spiderman. A whole movie with just the Sandman would've resulted in a good movie about Peter learning the difference between being a vigilante and a superhero, and the difficulty of learning to handle the gray areas of life. Then we have Venom, the alien symbiote that melds with Peter Parker. Out of this merger Peter Parker gets a swanky new black Spiderman suit, enhanced abilities, and a more agressive nature. Because of the symbiote Peter Parker becomes more of a vigilante than a superhero. Besides a decent scene between Sandman and Spiderman, the symbiote's influence is revealed through a Saturday Night Fever montage and a dance number. Sigh. I did though like that when Peter Parker wore the symbiote suit he had an emo haircut. There is nothing that screams "I'm evil" like an emo haircut. Once we finally have the symbiote merge with Brock and then become Venom, the audience is simply then rushed to the finale. If the movie was simply about the sybiote's influence on Peter and the creation of Venom, then you have a whole movie on power corrupting and the poison of jealousy. It seems a waste to have a villain that knows everything about Spiderman and limit him to just the final battle. They could've done so much more on the symbiote's connection to Peter and the hatred it has for being tossed aside by Peter. Finally the whole Harry/New Goblin arc is a mess and completely mishandled. I can't too much into it without becoming spoiler heavy, but the final character turn for Harry in the movie is eye rollingly ridiculous. This whole mess lies in the fact that there is no singular theme to this movie. The first Spiderman was Peter Parker realizing the responsibility he has with his new powers. Spiderman 2 was Peter Parker accepting the life he has to live because of that responsibility. I don't what it is for Spiderman 3. There are two or three it might be, but there shouldn't be that question.
Now after trashing this movie let me still say I had fun watching it. There is still the enjoyment of watching the spectacle of Spiderman. The fight scenes are a blast. As I said before the creation of Sandman is probably my favorite scene in the movie. Once, Venom shows up you wish there was more. It's just not well written or constructed. It also doesn't help that Spiderman 2 is probably the perfect superhero movie.
Have you seen Hot Fuzz yet?
Have you picked up Dinosaur Jr.'s new album Beyond? I was hesitant simply because it's basically a reunion album with Lou Barlow (Sebadoh, Folk Implosion) returning to the fold. It's no You're Living All Over Me, but it's really good. I still think J. Mascis is criminally ignored.
My follow up questions is: Why hasn't a Dinosaur Jr. song made it on any of the Guitar Hero games? I'd be happy playing the licks of "Feel the Pain."
How is it possible that the Cubs have scored 127 runs so far this season, have allowed their opponents to score only 98, and yet they are 12-14 and 5 1/2 games out of first place? That's a run differential of +29! Only the Mets and Red Sox have a better run differential. I hope this is simply and indicator that the Cubs have just had a little bad luck this month, and not that they are simply awful.
How am I going to make it another two weeks with just me and the boss in the office?
Remember when you used to be able to actually find deals on things worthwhile on ebay?
Why do I always scratch that itch?
When are they going to invent the machine that creates what my brain conceives? That way I could by pass my lack of talent and create exactly what I see in my head.
What happened to the MOL Nation?
If birds suddenly appeared every time I was near, wouldn't the girl actually be really creeped out or think I was in desperate need of a bath?
As stated before this weekend included the viewing of two movies that seemed to be made particularly for me: Grindhouse and Hot Fuzz. Jiff asked for reviews, so here it goes. Both of these reviews are spoiler free.
Grindhouse: I feel like I should make known that while I never went to a grindhouse in my youth, I spent many late nights with watching these kind of movies on Mom's satellite dish or renting them. Grindhouse is sort of an homage to these movies. Rodriguez and Tarantino are trying to recreate for the audience that experience of a double feature in a grindhouse. I think they succeed.
The first movie, Rodriguez's Terror Planet, is basically a zombie movie. Toxic gas is released on a small Texas town and all hell breaks loose. A Go-Go dancer with one leg and a tow truck driver with a mysterious past are required to save the day. Also, populating the town is a disgruntled doctor scheming on her husband and fellow doctor. There's the owner of BBQ establishment who won't tell his brother the sheriff his secret recipe. Rodriguez throws it all into this film: government cover ups, crazy twin babysitters, and a zombified Bruce Willis. This is probably my favorite Rodriguez film since El Mariachi, which really isn't saying much. Rodriquez keeps everything moving from one outlandish sequence to the other. It's clear he's simply throwing everything into the pot and having fun with it. It comes across a lot like two high school students one upping themselves with each outlandish idea after another. The movie does work on that level, and works well. It's fun, crazy, and cool and you can't ask for more from it.
The second half of the double feature is Tarantino's Death Proof starring the always underrated Kurt Russell. This comes across as Tarantino's experiment in writing for women. The first half hour is spent simply watching these women interact with a little ogling. Then Kurt Russell shows up and plays the creepy but cool killer. One of my favorite things is Russell's change in the character near the end. Also, the car stunts are very old school and very cool. There's one long stunt that still amazes me. Death Proof doesn't move at the speed of Terror Planet till the end. Still, I enjoyed Death Proof more than Terror Planet. I like the characters and I love the car chase.
One thing that irritated me a little in both films is the "winking" that the filmmakers make letting the audience know they are in the on the joke. The most blatant is the "missing reel" gag that appears in both movies. Personally, that gag was a little too knowing to me.
Finally, I feel I should say a little about the trailers in Grindhouse. Most likely you've seen most of the Machete trailer. That appears at the beginning. In between there is Rob Zombie's ode to Ilsa She Wolf of the SS only the the She-Wolf is actually taken the horror movie route. Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) does a send up to British mansion horror movies. It's the funniest of the trailers and my favorite. The last one is Eli Roth's (Hostel) Thanksgiving. It starts off well enough, but ends with the most offensive parts of the whole movie.
But let us get to the movie that you should absolutely not miss: Hot Fuzz. Along with Bobby, Tim and Gina, I got to see an early showing of Hot Fuzz with director/co-writer Edgar Wright, co-writer/actor Simon Pegg, actor Nick Frost, and special guest Timothy Dalton for a panel discussion afterwards. Hot Fuzz is the funniest movie you will see this year. Pegg plays a hard nosed and by the book cop that is sent off to the safest town in England because he was making all the other cops in London look bad. Pegg is teamed up with dufus Frost who loves action movies like Point Break and Bad Boys II and feels like he is missing out on not being a supercop. What follows is both an homage and a spoof of those action movies as Pegg and Frost try to prove that a group of accidents are actually murders. Ok, at this point I realize that anything I say isn't going to do this movie justice. Trust me and go see this movie when it comes out. It's very funny. You will miss half of the jokes, but just go see it again, This is smarter and funnier than any Blades of Glory that will be released this year.
Saturday night Tim, Bobby, and myself had the pleasure of seeing a wonderful movie called "The Host." It's a South Korean film that seems to be only playing in a handful of theaters across the country. That's a shame because this is a great movie.
The premise is your standard B-movie fare of a monster created by something toxic (radiation from atomic bomb testing, chemical spill, etc.) in this case toxic formaldehyde is dumped into a river. Monster then proceeds to wreak havoc. The director takes this framework and twists it around into a funny and frightening family drama.
The monster revealing itself in a terrific opening sequence takes away the Park family's youngest member, a young girl named Hyun-seo. Her father is a bumbling idiot who helps his grumpy grandfather run a small store on the river where the monster emerges. Discovering that Hyun-seo is still alive and captive in the monster's lair, her father and grandfather are joined by her aunt an Olympic-class archer who moves too slowly, and an uncle who is an unemployed salaryman.
Their hunt for Hyun-seo is impeded by not only the betrayal of their friends, their government, and the American military, but by the family's own issues among its members. It's no surprise that Hyun-seo seems to be the only stable member of the family.
Throughout the movie there are jabs at the Korean government and the constant American military presence. The movie is really all about the Parks and their struggle to keep the family together.
There are moments of absurdity, slapstick, horror, and a lot of heart. The middle does drag a little while it focuses on the family turmoil, but it that focus makes the climactic ending resonate stronger.
If by some chance The Host comes to a theater near you I highly suggest seeing it. At least be sure to add it to your netflix, or buy the import on ebay.
It's been awhile since I've posted one of these so lets get started.
Sometimes while I research I come across something that makes my day even week. Today I came across this intro to a bottle manufacturing website. It's the music that makes it. Click here and let it load, and then enjoy the "movie of the week" music. I've already hit refresh five times today. SETCO!
Had our annual dead pool draft last night. None of the people on my list died last year. I still dropped three for new replacements. Here's how awful this game can be. This year we are adding points so the younger the person is when they die the more points you get. So, who do I want to add on my list but Anna Nicole Smith's baby. Yeah, I know. Here's what makes it worse. One of our writers had the baby on his list as well, and got to select the kid first. It's awful but how can you not make take that gamble. She could accidentally confuse the baby for tempura
A new Heroes tonight! As Mandy would say, "Whoo hoo!"
I've realized I would be less likely to date a woman because of what she liked rather than what she didn't like. For example I would be willing to look past a woman not being a fan of the Beach Boys, but if she had every Dashboard Confessional album, forget it. I think I base this on the fact that with time I could wear her down to the point of at least appreciating the Beach Boys, but I can't get her to hate something she's already invested her heart in. Though if she didn't like this I would have nothing to do with her.
One of the movies of my youth is the thriller "The Hitcher." It was one of those movies that was always on cable, and preyed on the universal warning of never picking up strangers. As a kid it scared the hell out of me. The scene that everyone remembers from this movie is the semi-truck scene with Jennifer Jason Leigh tied between the cab and the trailer. It's such an awful scene not just because of what happen to poor Jennifer, but because in the scene there are a bunch of cops and people who do nothing but watch. They make no effort to help. Then there's the scene where C. Thomas Howell sees Hauer in the back of station wagon with a family. Howell later on comes across the station wagon with its victims inside. How can you ever pick up a stranger after seeing this movie? Even C. Thomas Howell is effective in this movie. At the end I believe that Howell is now permanently screwed up to the point he could follow in Hauer's footsteps. There are also some solid cheese lines that Hauer sells like gold.
John Ryder: How do you like "Shitsville"?
John Ryder: That guy back there, the one we just passed. The guy who picked me up before you did.
Jim Halsey: That was him in there?
John Ryder: Sure it was. He couldn't have walked very far.
Jim Halsey: Why's that?
John Ryder: Because I cut off his legs... and his arms... and his Head. And I'm going to do the same to you.
Interrogation Sergeant: What's your name? Come on. What's your name? Do you have a name? Do you have a police record? Where are you from?
John Ryder: Disneyland.
This weekend Hollywood has come to "The Hitcher" on their "To Be Remade" list. Yeah, I'm kinda disappointed. The trailer itself frustrates me to know end. First off they swapped the gender of the lead. This really wouldn't be a problem if they didn't start off the film with her and her boyfriend. Part of the fear in the first movie was that Howell's character was all alone in the middle of nowhere. Yes, he eventually persuades the waitress to help him, but that added to the tension. With two people starting off together the tension is lessened. It also doesn't help that the couple look too pretty. Couldn't they find someone that could perhaps come closer to portraying nonchalant crazy than Sean Bean. The mass populous still sees him as the guy that gave his life at the end of the first Lord of the Rings. How can he possibly come close to the crazy that Hauer portrayed.
I really don't mind all these Chainsaw Massacre and other popular horror remakes. It's when they start messing around with movies that meant something to me in my youth that get me a little irritated.
Two months and 10 days till Cubs opening day.
And like that...It was gone.
Well, I did it, and honestly I was tempted to try four it went that well. I got off work a little later than expected, so I had to switch around the order of the movies I was going to see. I was planning to start off with "Dreamgirls." Instead, I had to go with "Children of Men" first. "Children of Men" was well made but nothing you haven't really seen before. In fact it's a lot like a movies I've already seen this year. I won't say which movie because that could possibly spoil the ending to either one that you haven't seen. I will say I think "Children of Men" was slightly better than that movie.
The second movie I saw was "Dreamgirls." Now, I don't really like musicals, but I have a hard time turning down a movie that basically covers the history of R&B group the Supremes. Which makes me wonder if Diana Ross and the Supremes had to approve the musical or anything? Still, I admit I enjoyed enough of it to give it a high recommendation. I finally discovered my main problem with musicals. It's when they start singing what they want to say. This movie only does it a few times but it still drove me up the wall. If you want to sing a song that represents how that person is feeling with a few lines relating directly to what is happening that is fine. But when you start having people talking to each other in song, I can't take it. I liked most of the songs. Yes, that Hudson girl can really sing. In my audience, she got two ovations from the audience and Beyonce got one. The movie really only gives Beyonce one song to show her chops. I also enjoyed Jamie Fox's character. Not necessarily Fox, but I enjoyed the path of his character.
Finally, I wrapped up the trifecta with a wonderful film called "Pan's Labyrinth." It's a bizarre and beautiful fairy tale about a young girl that takes place after Spain's civil war. I've come to really love Guillermo Del Toro as a director. I loved "The Devil's Backbone." This is though his best film. It's superb in all aspects. I will say that this is not for kids. Don't let the cute little girl and the mythical creatures confuse you. This is rated R for a reason.
My prediction for the week is that Stomp the Yard will be number one in the box office this weekend. It was selling out all over around here. At the theater I went to there were kids holding impromptu dances like in the movie. It was rather impressive, though I'm sure the movie still blows.
So, the writers are leaving early to go to Vegas for the weekend. That means I get to leave early. If I get out early enough I'm going for the movie trifecta. That's right. Three movies back to back to back in the theater. I feel like today is a day in which I can pull it off. I think. I'm certainly going to make the effort. It will at least be two, and then I will see if I can pull off the third movie. Why would I even try to make an attempt at such a feat of movie watching endurance? Because, I'm really behind in seeing movies. Hell, I haven't even see Rocky yet. Oh the anticipation. What do I do to prepare? I know I'm limiting it to one theater. Traveling from one theater to the next would simply be too much. I'm probably an hour from leaving work. This could be the greatest thing I've done in life. Next to beating God of War in God Mode, or the time I ate six atomic fireballs at once. Yeah, this could be one of the greatest things that would prove how sad my life is.
