Narnia, Murderball - Roadtrip?
Narnia was decent fun, didn't get to watch most of it because people kept BOTHERING ME!!!
Murderball however was beyond awesome. People in wheelchairs playing RUGBY, damn, that was a man's man's sport! They also said they learnt shit that Jigsaw learnt, which was cool, seeing how you can't call handicapped people morons and stupid, no matter what they say. So yeah, that serial killer that torments people and claims to be helping them must be helping!
Road Trip is just plain clean fun, and had some self referential humour that was so smooth I couldn't help laugh my arse off, no one else got the joke though, spent five minutes explaining it. But it was worth it.

Thanks Look To The Sky. I'll be watching Advent Children in a week or two, I think.
Don't remember watching anything clearly today, it's odd. I watched three films though, that I can remember.
Some film, Sneakers and Austin Powers.
The Some film I remember nothing of. But I think I saw Julianne Moore in it, and there were talking about being parents and married and stuff, but mostly as in "hey are you this? Why isn't she travelling with you?"
Sneakers is excellent, it has some known actors. Kingsley, Redford and Aykroyd. It's the closest to what I think real espionage is like. Monitoring, stealing in the cover of night and having to rely the element of suprprise in all encounters. Two guys nigh always beat one guy. Totally righteous!
Austin Powers. I'd forgotten that it was worth something, it just wasn't as good as I began expecting. Liz Hurley was without a doubt the weakest link of the film. The Henchmen Death follow ups were excellent, I often think about these things when watching Bond and other knock offs. It's sad that they're just treated as faceless foes instead of humans.

I didn't comment because I hadn't seen any of the movies until Icey mentioned Austin Powers...
I like that movie.

One or two words of advice for watching Advent Children:
- Be sure to remember the whole FF7 story. Well, that's not that difficult.
- Be sure to have FF7 ranking somewhere up in your top-5 best-games-of-all-times list.
- Watch it in a dark room.
- With a really good telivision.
- If it's not the DVD version OR the h.264 rip, then DON'T WATCH IT. PLEASE. It'll destroy everything.
- Now where was I...
- Ah yes - 5.1 sound, mininum. Turn up the speakers and get blasted away.
- Find something comfortable to sit on.
- Wear gloves. That way you might provide some protection for your hands which you might unconsciously clench out of sheer excitement.
- Don't close your eyes while watching the movie. I recommend watching it 1 to 325 times, but still - don't close your eyes. You'll only feel guilty afterwards.
- And let me get this straight - You are guilty if you close your eyes for even one millisec.
- That's it.
- Enjoy.

Pfff, Gobbler, the film is not THAT good, I've seen parts and parts of it. Nowhere near being totally awesome, though it looks nice.
Anywho, for the last two days, I saw the Bad News Bears, Laws of Attraction and Good Ol' Rush Hour.
Laws of Attraction, didn't follow closely. Only remember thinking. "Ha! That's the dumbest thing a woman could do! Dumping James Bond to work as a lawyer!" I have decided that Julianne Moore is stuck in the "stupid cow" role.
Bad News Bears. Bad Santa + Kicking and Screaming. Very few good moments, but good moments none the less. I like my Billy Bob Thornton drunk and abusive. Awright!
Rush Hour. Not much to say about that film beyond "hey, this was directed by the X3 guy!" and the fact that the guy I was working with knew every line by heart. It was annoying. Oh hold on! I think the Evil HeadHenchman from Die Another Day was in this film, as a villain. Again! Just obviously lacking in diamonds.

Rush Hour leading into... The Brother's Grimm, Twice.
I don't get any days off.
I found the film mostly boring and disappointing, not as much as when I first watched it though. I did however Realise that the Devil had a role in the film and that made every line he said that much more delicious. Go Satan!

Got sick and hallucinated about being in China, showed up to work today. Watched Underclassman, a black guy trying to do an 80's flick today. Doesn't work bub. Followed by Pride and Prejudice.
Darcy kicks arse
A short spot of Big Trouble in Little China with a Mission Impossible finish.
A decent day all in all.

Aww, I fell behind.
My favourite part in Powers was when Random Task throws his shoe. lol. At first I had no idea why he did that, but just a little bit of research on Bond films and ah-ha...
Also, why the hell would you close your eyes for Advent Children? Unless you mean blink during it. I didn't find any parts where I should close my eyes.

I watched Advent Children without playing FF7. It looked very pretty. Not a fucking clue what was going on though. I remember an entire part where he road his motorbike out to some ice and there were some kids and absolutly nothing was accomplished. As far as I can tell, they could have cut that entire part from the film and lost nothing. I think. It was all rather abstract and badly explained.
