The past week has been great, what with the wedding, trip to the ER, various pokes-n-prods, and the endless pile of thank you cards.
But I did get to watch some movies! And so, in the interest of spamming the flist with unwanted opinions and cut for possible spoilers:
This movie fucked my shit up. I think I've mentioned my phobia of mob mentality, and this movie tapped into that so perfectly. The beginning sequences, where houses were on fire, people were randomly shooting other people, high-speed car crashes - arrggghh! *flails* We almost turned the movie off, I was gasping for air because I was so freaked out.
But why, oh why didn't they just stay at the mall until the food completely ran out?
I learned some valuable lessons from this movie, though, which I have put into immediate use. My car keys will always be on the peg near the door (I have a bad habit of leaving them wherever I drop them). There will always be a heavy object near my bed in case I need it (currently a crowbar). My gas tank will always be full (I thought about my nearly-empty tank all night Wednesday). And we need to move to Idaho and live on a compound (kids in the barn, dogs in the house).
Ah, comic relief! I think I needed this movie to release some of my tension from the election. We're just dicks, that's all. ;-P How you like that, Hans Blix! It was great to laugh along with people at the right spots - nothing kills a political movie quicker than a group of people who don't read enough to understand the jokes. Ah, Thursday afternoon at the movies. I'm definitely buying this when it comes out.
I dunno. I really dig the whole what-would-happen theme and I love Vonnegut, but I guess there were lots of unexplored threads and gratuitous stuff - the idea that Elijah Wood's character liked Clementine and set out to woo her and Kirsten Dunst's character's obvious problems - that I wanted to see. The main plot got a bit boring, certainly not as dark as I thought it would be.
Other randomosity:
Alicia Keys is so.freakin.hot. I thought she was one of those skinny-Minnie singers, but wow, her legs are just to die for. I could eat her for breakfast, man.
Same sentiment for Jake Gyllenhaal, substituting arms for legs. Rawr.
Is it pathetic that 95% of my movie choices nowadays center on who's in the film and not what the movie's about? I've turned into a horny old woman. :P
1anonymous1 is now my fandom bodyguard, and will rough up teenies rabid fangirls anyone who gets in my way. Muahahahaha.

I'm glad you found a body guard. Heh.
