Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, that actually makes sense.

Good thing it wasn't a pigeon that flew in the window....

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Saw Blade III tonight. I enjoyed it. It wasn't the greatest movie ever, but having watched the first two Blade movies this afternoon before hand, it was no better or worse than they were, IMO.

As far as Hero is concerned, it was one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. However, I do think it dragged a bit in parts. There were a few too many long, lingering shots and I got really sick of the repeated close ups of sword blades dipping into water during the one fight scene.

Someone, I think it was Mad Magazine, did a "What if" play on that with various creatures. The last panel had a spider hanging from Bruce's window.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Saw Ocean's 12. I was distinctly underwhelmed. There are some plot points that I still don't understand, and some plot points that are astonishingly lame. Like, watch-from-the-hall lame. (The Tess-as-Julia-Roberts scheme. So. Lame. And not a bit funny or clever.) Also, Julia Roberts keeps getting uglier.

The menfolk, though -- still very pretty. (And -- Eddie Izzard! Though his role isn't worth $9.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The not-boyfriend wants to see Blade: Trinity tomorrow, so I'm glad to hear it's no worse than the previous ones. I'm planning to just watch that Ryan guy.

So, I see the previews for Ocean's 12, and the scene where they're in the car, and I keep wondering if Julia Roberts is supposed to have a moustache? Because she really does.

Oh, it's worse than the previous ones. It's not the worst movie to come out in a year that saw Catwoman and Garfield hit the theaters, but don't go expecting to be as entertained as by the original.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I tptally agree with Steph on Ocean's 12, although I found all the actors so damn charming it ALMOST made up for the dopiness of the plot.

I think it's a matter of opinion. I found Blade III to be a fun movie, even with the lousy plot. On further reflection, Blade I was a better movie overall, including storywise, but having watched all 3 in succession, II and III are pretty much the same to me enjoyment-wise.

Doesn't matter, NB decided he'd rather sleep than see Blade: Trinity, and I don't mind a bit, as I would rather shop. Thus, off to Le Target.

I'll just Netflix Ryan and his low-slung pants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The not-boyfriend wants to see Blade: Trinity tomorrow, so I'm glad to hear it's no worse than the previous ones.

My not-boyfriend saw it alone yesterday, and said it was TERRIBLE. And he likes bad movies, so.
