I do a little butt watching.*

bending_sickleI leave the internet for a few days and I miss out on the Blog Like it's the End of the World Day (June 13). *curses* Samples entries here, numerous on-going voice-posts here, summary quotes here, and here, and what it's like for a zombie.
I feel like I've missed out on a gold-mine here. Damn. I would've watched zombie-movies and everything. Written up a bit on my conscious-zombie fic. *pout*
It seems that this is going to be a film weekend. It's Saturday, which means that there's little left of the weekend, but since I've already watched 3.5** films, I think I can go ahead and say there will be more. (I also made peanut butter cookies, failed at making a bank transfer because banks are on the summer schedule while it's still spring and close weekends, completely dominated a scanner - after one hour of frustrations - and put a bunch of books into a cardboard box.) But on with the movies.
To whit:
- Trapped in Paradise - yes, it was as bad as the first time. Damn you, Nicholas Cage, why can't you be consistent? Must you always compensate a good movie with five bad ones? What about The Rock, or...yeah. Um... Lord of War was neat. So more than just five bad films between the good ones, eh?
- Without a Paddle - funny, and with lovely (but terribly short compared to his co-actors) and occasionally nomiated Seth Green. I was shocked to find out he voices a character on Family Guy. *curses dubbed TV*
- Cursed, which was entertaining only because it turned into a game of "recognize that minor actor". (And that "big tough jockey who beats wimpy guys up but turns out to be a scared gay kid" thng? Has got to stop. Seriously, stop filming things like that. 'S annoying.) For example, there was Mil Ventimiglia, all grown up from Gilmore Girls but lacking his Heroes unibang; Joshua Jackson, half of why I watched those measely few minutes of Dawson's Creek (the other half goes to Kerr Smith); Judy Greer, although I have no idea why she looks so familiar; Michael Rosenbaum, though I've never watched Smallville.
- Collateral - with the added surprise of Mark Ruffalo (and his mustache) and Spain's very own machoman Javier Bardem. (He's a busy little bee, currently engaged in "Woody Allen's Spanish Project", rumoured to be in The Undead as Dracula, and (*literary squee*) in Love in the Time of Cholera. Jada Pinkett Smith, however, I cmpletely failed in recognizing.
- Jerry Maguire - finally, after hearing those godawful lines throughout my teenyears, I, too can marvel at the "you complete me" scene. "Give me the money" was a slice better. A thin slice. Although: Renee! Also? Tom. So much cuter and less "Ah, the crazy! Get it off me!" when he was younger. *sighs for young version of Tom Cruise*
Last week whilst sick I watched The Snow Queen, based on a Hans Christian Anderson story, and Jason and the Argonauts***, which brought back memories of hanging with Josie and Kit at their place in Montreal instead of studying Molecular or something with Jo. We giggled and mocked the film, I stayed over. It was fab'.
My heart just went pitter-patter when it saw Night Watch was in production, until I realized it couldn't possibly be a Disworld film. Alas.
You know, one film I've caught bits of twice and loved was 200 Cigarettes. Damn fine film, that.
