soapbox

I don’t know where to start.

First of all, this is the absolute worst movie I’ve ever seen. Do not under any circumstances see it.

It was like someone watched Blade over and over and then watched the Matrix a few hundred times and said “I could mix the two and make a good movie.” And then they failed.

There were a few scenes that they actually used three times. The helicopter graphics looked like they came out of a 1995 video game. There was a huge amount of the movie dedicated to Violet driving on walls because she had some kind of “gravity leveler”.

The first 10 minutes were ok. Then they ran out of ideas and it was the worst drivel. There was even a love story… Kirsten said it was as natural as a marionette gremlin just magically appearing and saying “I’m here to ass fuck you.”

People started leaving at about the 20 minute mark, but I wouldn’t let us leave. It was a train wreck that I figured I should see. However, it was a train wreck were, at the end there’s just a bunch of screaming and then it all goes away and someone says “it was just a dream”.

Seriously, going to see Aquamarine would have been better and that’s a movie about mermaids for 12 year olds.

So, I’m bored out of my mind and tired of sitting home watching Third Watch reruns all weekend. I want to do SOMETHING interesting this weekend. Best suggestion I can come up with is Cosmic Bowling Saturday night. Would anybody be up for it? For the uninitiated, it’s $10 to participate per person. We get a lane or two, depending on turnout, and play for a couple hours.

If anyone has a better suggestion, I’m open to that too.

surprise surprise, our witless leader has been caught in yet another lie. he DID know that there was a big concern before Katrina hit about the levees being breached. here’s the video showing the conference in which leading hurricane scientists inform him, courtesy the washington post.

So, it’s a nice lazy afternoon for now, but it’ll be a busy evening of rehearsal and rehearsal dinner (a fondue party) and bachelor partying ahead of us, so I’ll take my time (and my fair share of the wireless connection at the bride-to-be’s grandparents’ house) to make a post on the weekend so far:

EDITED: Post was too long for the front page; I’ve made a cut so y’all can read the rest after the jump.

People suck. Someone left my unopened quart of milk, which I safely placed in the fridge after purchase a few days ago, on top of the fridge. ON TOP!? wtf?? the top shelf, the only shelf on which it fits, is full, too. it doesn’t look like someone just moved it out of the way to get at something else with the intent of putting it back. why the hell not at least just move my damn lemonade, which takes up more room and won’t suffer from being left out. i hate people. it’s completely WARM. room temperature. and it’s an overly warm room temperature.
