I want to see expendables 2 fucking real bad

[Kitsa]

1) The only way to watch Cannibal! The Musical is with director commentary.

2) I ended up buying Hunger Games, despite hating it, because of a ridiculously good coupon chain deal I had going that basically meant I got a cart of free stuff for buying it. I thought my mom would want to watch it. I ended up watching it again and I'm still pissed at it. I still don't see how a hollywood screenwriter never heard of Battle Royale, The Lottery, etc etc etc. It's a very pretty movie, though.

I liked the whole fire thing, also I was suprised that they didn't advertise Woody Harlson being in the movie.

Are you not required to read the lottery in high school or something?

[Fathom Zero]

We didn't have to read that, but other kids did. We had to read the motherfucking Giver. The most boring book ever written.

someday ill be a writer and i will successfully plagiarise by feigning ignorance

Go see it. It's even better than the first one.

Watched the Troll 2 documentary. It was pretty entertaining.
I loved that after 20 years the director still seemed to have no idea that he made a bad movie.

I felt sorry for most of them, they seemed miserable

I don't think it was on our required reading list, no, but I read it. Basically I read my textbook as soon as I got it and then did whatever the fuck I wanted for the rest of the year, including reading other stuff. Matter of fact, I was loaning my teachers books, and some I never got back

I think it's highly, HIGHLY unlikely that a hollywood screenwriter would be ignorant of the hunger games base story. It goes all the way back to the fucking Minotaur and it probably existed even before that.

[Aaarg]

yeah we read the lottery in grade 9, also lord of the flies. wtf the giver we had to read that in like 7th grade son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

movies
DOG SOLDIERS (again) because my girlfriend had never seen it. yay dumb werewolf movies.
HUMAN LANTERNS had so much potential (awesome sets, costumes, etc.) but was pretty boring

[Tadao]

I watched BR with the wife last night because she had never seen it. It's pretty dated, but she enjoyed it. I also downloaded BR2 and am scared to watch it.

[Kitsa]

BR2 is a big suckfest. Not surprisingly, it has a lot in common (hmm) with the book-sequels to HG. The "winners" escape to a foreign land to plot the overthrow of the system. Meanwhile, a "second" BR/HG takes place that is slightly less organized, slightly more disjointed, and way more easily bringdownable.

Watch for the teacher, who reminds me of Steven Seagal for some reason, the incredibly shitty CGI deaths and Nanahara's increasingly bizarre hair.

[Kitsa]

Here's a pretty good synopsis.

[Tadao]

I'll read that after I watch it

[Kitsa]

About the same as when I read a horoscope after a particularly shitty day.

Winter's Bone. Otherwise known as "Where the Lilies Bloom, But With Meth".

[Aaarg]

BLACK SHEEP
surprisingly awesome eco-horror from a few years ago. killer sheep. puppets and latex instead of cgi. yesssssss.

THE VANISHING OF THE BEES
shitty documentary from a few years ago.

[Kitsa]

See, now the bee thing I don't get. Everyone says that the bees are vanishing, but being severely allergic to the fuckers I have a stake in observing them, and I can tell you with utter certainty that they have been EVERYWHERE the past few years. I said something before about taking photos of a sculpture park for a website and being trapped in a meadow swarming with honeybees. There are more honeybees...not yellowjackets, not bumblebees, not wood bees, HONEYBEES...in my yard than ever before. They run the butterflies off my butterfly bushes and the three big spiderwebs I brought down yesterday had two or three honeybees in them apiece. So maybe this virus-parasite-whatever just paved the way for a new race of superbees or something, because they sure aren't scarce around here.

[Aaarg]

maybe your neighbors were encouraged to start keeping some hives. or maybe it's not colony collapse, they're just all moving to ohio. that's pretty weird. i don't pay too much attention to flying things other than bats, to be honest.

all the documentary really did is make me want honey.

Toast
A coming-of-age/coming out story adapted from the "memoir by British food writer, journalist and TV host Nigel Slater, the title refers to Slater's kitchen-challenged mother's one foolproof recipe; the go-to dish that regularly followed her home-cooked disasters, which were often of the boiled-in-their-own-can variety." Takes place in 1960s Britain and features fantastic music selections. It's a hearty period piece that tackles family dynamics, a new parent, competition, personal success, etc. I am not going to say that it's epic film work, but it was slightly odd, at times voluminous and at times solemn and detached. I don't feel my time was wasted after watching it. So, I consider it fine.

C.H.U.D. II: Bud the C.H.U.D.
I found a movie pack with a few hard to find movies on it for dirt cheap.

I've been keeping a look out for Ghoulies 3 for a while now.

Spoilers!

[Aaarg]

ginger snaps was a lot better than i expected.

[Tadao]

Ok, so last night I finally gave Rise of the Planet of the Apes a chance and found that it was actually a good movie. WTF haven't I watched the new Planet of the Apes then.

Ok, so I'm almost done with the new Planet of the Apes and holy shit what a crap fest. The only way this movie could have been any worse is if Tim Buton cast Johnny Depp to be a half ape/human.

I hope the new movies follow along with Rise.
