    What he said!

    Went movie-hopping for father's day. Saw Year One and The Proposal, missed the beginning of Terminator, and saw the very end of The Hangover. Year One was funny and nothing more than expected. Same with Proposal. Mom saw all of the Hangover and came away disgusted with the state of entertainment. What do you expect, mom, it's a movie about dudes going to fuckin' Vegas and getting hung the fuck over in some wild-ass bachelor party shit. I was afraid to laugh under her scrutinizing, disapproving gaze.

    I saw Inglourious Basterds in a super lux stadium seating type movie theater, and I saw District 9 in a non-renovated movie theater from the first half of last century. I still enjoyed District 9 a lot more.

    in the past few weeks, saw american beauty, city of god, donnie darko, memento to name a few.

    american beauty - a cinematic masterpiece in my book. kevin spacey was perfect for the role. the ending really got to me D:

    city of god - a beautiful, powerful film. can't believe I haven't seen these movies until now. one of my favorites.

    donnie darko, memento - badass.

    Tokyo Gore Police

    A man gets his dick bitten off by a hooker with teeth for tits and then has a hole bored into his foot by a man who tore the top half of his head off and now has guns that shoot fleshy chunks of flesh for eyes. The now dickless man shoots the teeth-titted hooker in half with a pistol of questionable ability to shoot someone in half. The hooker grows a crocodile head for a lower torso. She then uses her new crocodile half to bite off the dickless man's arm and leg before he shoots her in the crocodile and kills her. The man then proceeds to grow a new, massive, fleshy dick that is also a gun, a new arm that is also a sword, and a new leg that doesn't do anything. He completely ravages an entire police force (confronting them in their own headquarters, mind you) with his new dick.

    this is just one of the many great and awful things in this movie.

    There's a new Lost-esque show that just started called Flashforward, which has an incredible premise and so far, in the 2 episodes that have aired, enough crazy shit has gone down to totally blast your mind. I highly recommend taking a look at this show if you get a chance. It's on Thursdays on ABC.

    Zombieland was real sweet. Good fun, hearty laughs. No complaints.

    Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs: Hilarious, awesome. Great animation. Fully recommend.

    Where the Wild Things Are was garbage. Why is this being lauded so?

    hm, maybe everyone's so overrun with nostalgia that they think the movie will be the best thing ever?

    I personally thought it was a great movie- why do you think differently, david?

    It was a bunch of character flaws bickering for an hour and a half with a tantrum throwing little prick. I thought it was going to be more focused on Max using his imagination, not him working through his daddy issues.

    That's a bit of an oversimplification. And having an expectation about how that movie was going to go was not really a good idea. I thought the cinematography was great, the story NEVER had any dead spots or anything that felt unnecessary and the characters were nicely developed. There was even sexuality present between Ira and Judith, something I didn't expect- but they pulled it off well.

    I was looking forward to WtWTA... oh well. Plot aside, were the puppets and costumes as good as in the trailers?

    The series It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia on FX is a wonderfully funny show. Its about about a bunch of stupid narcissist assholes getting in trouble... and the boy whose being read the story from Princess Bride is the director lol

    Oh, I didn't. I read it for the first time the day before I saw the movie. Maybe that has something to do with it.

    I might see it. In whatever case, I know it's going to be its own thing, so I'm not expecting it to entertain me like the book does, and it mostly does that through its pictures. It's been so long since I've read that shit that I don't even know what it's about anymore, though.

    My plan was just to get real high and probably cry from nostalgia or some shit.

    havent seen wtwta yet but the lack of plot kind of makes it all the more enjoyable. im guessing its supposed to actually feel like a children's story rather than a children's film. kind of like a kids version of Car Wash??? i dunno.

    also invention of lying, saw that. was pretty ballin'. not the best movie, not what i expected, but still worth a watch. then again, i love anything with ricky in it so maybe im biased.

    My plan was just to get real high and probably cry from nostalgia or some shit.

    good plan here!!!!!!!!
