River ,'Safe'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Hmm. That's weird, because that actually did happen to me with the first DVDs I ordered, though it hasn't happened since. I assumed it was a USPS thing, not a Blockbuster thing.
Now, though, I'm starting to wonder.
Damn. I have four days 'til my trial period actually ends. Should I keep the membership or switch back to Netflix, I wonder?
And Tim, briefly.
Woo hoo!
Okay. I cancelled Blockbuster. Back to Netflix. The clincher? Alias Season 1 had a "Very Long Wait" at BB but is "Available Now" at Netflix.
I guess there is something to say for sticking with what you know.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Donnie Darko: Director's Cut has made it to Chicago! I finally get to see the fucking thing! (Have never even seen the original version....)
Speaking of Shaun of the Dead, look who the "Hot Pick" is on Rotten Tomatoes.
Finally, a good zombie movie with some decent fart jokes.
Heh.
Isn't "decent fart joke" an oxymoron?
Anyway, I saw The Forgotten. I liked it a lot, but I can't say much about it without spoiling folks. It reminded me of a (probably not spoilery comparison to... something esle) X-Files episode. But a good one.
Blinks.
Sweet fancy Moses, Shaun of the Dead is playing in Maine. Score!
I want to see both Shaun of the Dead and The Forgotten. Will probably see Shaun first, i think I need a laugh.
Last night I watched Blue Car. My god, is that an annoying movie. It's one of those films where nothing good (or especially interesting) ever happens and no one ever smiles and you're supposed to say, "oooh, how true to life." And they killed the one interesting character for no particular reason halfway through themovie, too.
Sweet mother of Moses, they're actually showing A Dirty Shame in Salt Lake. Those of you in the area, we're going to overrun Tuesday the 28th's 7:00 showing at the Tower Theater.
