O11 was fluffy, WELL-WRITTEN, meangingless fun. The sequel is a much worse film.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
The Bruce Willis scene was painful. I just had to leave...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I went to see Ocean's Twelve today.
I walked out about 3/4 the way through it.
So you got about an Ocean's Nine?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Tom, while I thought it was fun enough and very pretty, that was SO the low point! I could have walked myself.

Plus, not so much grooving on the pretty as you all may be.

Maximum Overdrive, one of many baaad S. King novel to movie attempts.
The original short story is great. The movie was actually directed by King himself, and even he thinks it's crap.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I just saw Bubba Ho-Tep. I did not enjoy it very much, except for some of Ossie Davis's scenes. I'm glad that other people were responsible for the rental fees.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Bubba Ho-Tep was quite... bizarre. I saw it in the theater and was all WTF up until some ridiculous point in the movie when I kind of gave over to it. I ended up laughing my ass off and enjoying it. It's quite a strange film.

Oh jeez - I mean what a dis to Bruce Campbell. He's one of the best Elvises I've ever seen. However, I will admit it's a VERY odd duck of a movie, and probably not for everyone.
And, yes, Ossie was wonderful too.

Pretty much the best way to go. The "power walk" near the end is one of the funniest, yet most touching, things I've ever seen.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I imagine watching Hero on a very small screen really worked against the beauty of the movie. Oh well.
However, last night I watched The Station Agent, and absolutely loved it. Bobby Cannavale, who played Joe, reminded me a LOT of a guy I used to know.
