hello friends

Oh, incidentally, we saw Slither... last night, I think? No, the night before. Recently, anyway. Days blend together when you don't sleep at night.

It was actually quite good. Hilarious in parts, creepy-ooky in others, with a few of the standard horror movie startle-scares. I recommend it! Even if you may not want to take a bath ever again after seeing it.

We hit Borders last night, as well, and I got the first book of Fables and House of Leaves. Was gonna get a collection of Cthulhu Mythos stories by a whole bunch of the mythos guys, but then saw HoL, and it was only five bucks more for like four times as many pages, plus I'd read good things about it online and was intrigued. So.

It is kind of weird having money to spend, as I have lately, and I've been kind of going nuts with it, but I think I can manage to not run through it all within a 24-hour period. Especially since there's only 12 of those hours left and at some point I'll have to sleep.

1) Today's review: A History Of Violence (now with 25% more Morgan Freeman!)

2) I miss this guy. I wish he'd come back and favor us with more of his cogent arguments. There just aren't enough entertaining trolls around these parts lately.

3) ONE DAY TILL V FOR VENDETTA! WOO! Or maybe zero days, depending on if we can catch a midnight showing tonight.

WOO!

Jenny says, "When A Stranger Calls is... wow. Just... wow."
Jenny says, "We're glad we only paid five bucks a ticket."
Jenny says, "'Cause full price would've been like being punched."
Jenny says, "It was kind of funny in places though! Like when there is Mysterious Spooky Noises coming from the next room and the girl approaches it and Ted counts down on his fingers and just as he gets to zero, the cat jumps out and is revealed to be the source of the Spooky Noises."
Jenny says, "Or the scene at the beginning where there are cops at the scene of a murder and the one cop says 'okay what was the murder weapon?' and the other guy says, and I kid you not, he says 'that's just it.... THERE WAS NO WEAPON.' BECAUSE NO ONE HAS EVER KILLED WITH HIS BARE HANDS BEFORE, EVER"
Jenny says, "Lance Hendriksen was the voice of the Stranger!"
Jenny says, "There was a preview for a movie with a video game that some people get ahold of that 'they're not supposed to have' and it's all ooooo spooky and one guy dies in the game and then dies the exact same way in real life and one of the characters goes 'omg if you die in the game you die for real!' and I leaned over to Ted and was all 'THEN STOP PLAYING'"

Dear LJ: please stop logging me out. It is annoying. Love, me.

We saw Brokeback Mountain tonight. I liked it quite a bit, which was odd, because I expected to be all "rarr it is a romance movie those are always boring" but this one was not. It was good. Sad, but good. *cough*ithelpsthatJakeGyllenhaalisinsanelyhot*cough*

Now I am exhausted and would like to go to bed, but I can't yet! The pain, the pain.

I have been comicking like a mad comicking machine the last couple of days! The comics will see the light of day eventually.

Fnord.

I invite everyone to have a nice day today, for whatever reason you care to select.

Me, my reason is 'cause we're seeing Wolf Creek today. If you are unfamiliar with this title, save perhaps that it is an unrated slasher flick, then these snippets courtesy of Rotten Tomatoes should shed some light on my anticipation.


It apparently descends into a pool of bloody entrails with its lurid and sadistic killings.

Its graphic depictions of mindless cruelty are revolting.

As it goes on, the action gets implausible enough to seem like parody.

Perhaps Roger Ebert says it best, in his no-stars review: There is a line and this movie crosses it. I don't know where the line is, but it's way north of "Wolf Creek."

Sounds like our kind of movie, y'know?

Yeah, a giant SCREW YOU to Wikipedia's handling of webcomics (semi-random purging of comics from database because they aren't "notable" enough? um, no), in the spirit of which I just totally rewrote sd's entry on Comixpedia. Of course, the new version sucks too, just... slightly less.

W&G: Curse Of The Wererabbit is, btw, an awesome movie. Specially if you like puns. HIS NAME IS CLAUDE SAVAGELY HA HA HA

Mash (it amuses me to call you Mash): If you were trying to download the stuffs from me this fine evening/morning/whatever, I apologize -- Comcast unexpectedly vomited all over me and I had to reboot to get my connectivity back. Hopefully (again, if this was even an issue) you were using some kind of resumable download thingy. Otherwise, you can join me in punching Comcast IN DA FACE for dropping me in the middle of battle in YPP.

Mecha: Tsk. You left the stew out. I put it away, though, so all is well. Leftovers tomorrow yum!

Brain: Stop repeating that one bit of The Trapper Song over and over again. I know that the blood of a fresh-killed rodent is as sweet as brandy-wine, and that the brain of an antelope tastes like cantaloupe. DROP IT ALREADY.

I saw the MST version of Manos tonight. It were great. Ted and I nearly died laughing at the scene where the Master sticks Torgo's hand into the fire. Then mecha rewound it and we nearly died laughing at it again.

And now, greatly-overdue sleepage.

The new Charlie And The Chocolate Factory?

Awesome.

Aside from the fact that they really, really packed in as many fat jokes as they could re: the German kid. But I've grown to expect that from my screen-based entertainment.

So there is this movie called Last Night. You all should see it. It is very good. It is also Canadian. The world is ending tonight, everyone knows it, everyone's known it for a while, and events unfold from there. The ending sequence is beautiful.

I saw it about 28 hours ago now and it is IN MY BRAIN SOMETHING FIERCE.

staaaaaaaaaaaaaaar waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars

(after dinner and stuff)

BRING ON THE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT
