You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I finally saw Up in the Air. I really enjoyed it although I can't help thinking that Alex represents the concept that only a woman who is cheating can be independant when it comes to relationships. I try to keep from letting individual characters represent ideas that perhaps the film makers did not intend. Maybe I'm mad because I really liked Alex and I didn't see her deception coming.

Also I think I need to stop watching opening credits. I went in thinking, "wow, JK Simmons and Sam Elliott," then I spent a lot of the movie wondering when they would show up.

Did anyone else feel that the Sam Elliott scene was a dream sequence? Maybe it was the lighting. I also didn't feel that they utilized him to the best of his abilities. Maybe the subtlety of the scene was lost on me.

Now I need to watch The Golden Compass.

The Social Network poster parody parade. And then there's this Doctor Who one.

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

Is Frogs (1972) worth watching?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Is that the one where all the swamp animals start trying to kill people?

I'm not sure but Sam Elliott is in it. Netflix thinks I would like it two stars worth but I'm not sure Netflix understands the depths of my love for Sam Elliott.

Checked Wikipedia. It is indeed that movie. I found the swampy vengeance hilarious (probably unintentional). It warrants an arachnophobe warning sticker though. You will be happy to know that, according to Wikipedia, "Elliott has two "beefcake" scenes in which he removes his shirt". Not that this should in any way influence your decision.

I'm OK with spiders. Any ants?

Heyy it's weird not working in a movie theatre anymore. I just found out Simon Pegg and Nick Frost wrote a movie directed by the same guy who did Adventureland and Superbad. It's scheduled to hit screens in March. I wonder how long we have to wait for the next Blood & Ice Cream flick.

I don't think so. But watch out for their attempt to make lizards menacing. (Not to mention, the eponymous Frogs.)
