Vampire Academy was better than I expected, thanks to the screenplay being written by the guy who wrote Heathers. The dialog was much snappier than in the book, and much more self-aware/meta about the teen movieness of it all.

PLus, Headmistress Kirova has a fabulous wardrobe and I want it all: [link]

That actually looks like a lot of fun. We are, however, going to see the Lego movie tonight. We don't have any kids we can borrow as beards, but whatever. It looks hilarious.

The SF chronicle loved the Lego movie.

We're seeing it on Sunday. We four adults.

It's got a 97% on RT, with 101 Fresh reviews and 3 Rotten reviews. That is Toy Story-level shit right there.

Vampire Academy has a 0%, with 0 Fresh reviews and 5 Rotten reviews.

I am trying to get Beau to see the movie with me. It looks like loads of fun and we need that right about now.

I am not entirely surprised. *I* thought it was fun, but I went in with basement-level expectations. I didn't care about any of the main characters (to be fair, I didn't care when I read the book, either); my attention was held by snarky one-liners and seeing what the headmistress wore next.

Ahahaha, yeah, the Lego movie is HILARIOUS. Good stuff!

And I will NEVER get that song out of my head.

I'm making the song my theme song. Ironically.

You know, I loved Legos as a kid so seeing the movie was fun for me. And we have superglued some of Frisco's Legos cause he can't handle it when they break. But the sheer WTFness of the movie kept me interested.

And I loved Batman.

Seriously, I can't get that song OUT OF MY HEAD.

And Batman stole the damn show.

Batman was great! Loved his dance mix theme song:

"Darkness...No Parents...."
