I was paid to watch The Bourne Ultimatum yesterday. A part of the projector fell off on an earlier showing and I had to check to see how bad the damage was to see how many reels we needed to order (just 1).

Yesterday I saw What Women Want. It was a bit of a disappointment I'm afraid, although Helen Hunt and some other women were cute.

So here's a picture of the Zelda stuff I bought today.

The animated movie I Married a Strange Person!

Never have I seen so many inanimate objects having sex with each other.

Watched Hot Fuzz last night. What a ridiculous but fantastic movie. Not sure if I liked it as much as Shaun of the Dead, but pretty brilliant nonetheless.

I got to go to an advanced screening of Superbad.


That was one of the most outrageously funny movies I have ever seen.

Good...Was wondering whether I would like it or not. Definitely going to see it pretty much because Michael Cera is amazing.

Yeah saw it about a month ago or so now.

McLovin is such an awesome character.

I am McLovin

Watched Encino Man for the first time in a while a couple days ago and really enjoyed it.

Oh, and I saw Y Tu Mama Tambien and was kinda disappointed because my friends had made it up to be a bit more spectacular, but it was a good movie nonetheless.

Its not. They saw advance screenings. Some movies get so many advance screenings, sometimes I wonder who would be left to buy a ticket for it.

In fact, we've had a couple of Superbad screenings at my theatre already, and I'm scheduled to attend another one in a couple of days so *shrugs*

Two movies I saw recently. First off I saw Crash for the first time. I have to say I didn't really enjoy it. I mean, I know it won best picture and everything, but to me it just seemed like a movie with a bunch of racist people doing racist things in order to tell me that racism sucks. There was only one character (out of, like, friggin' twenty) that I can say I really liked. The rest were racist pigs, or just pigs if not racist. And what's up with every single character, not previously having known each other, suddenly running into each other and doing racist things around each other within 36 hours? The locksmith fices the lock at the Persian's place and the DA's place whose maid is the mother of a cop who is partner's with Don Cheadle whose brother hangs out with Ludacris who carjacks both a) the previously mentioned DA and b) this TV director guy whose wife is sexually molested and later has her life saved by this racist LAPD cop, whose partner later saves the TV director and Ludacris from being shot by racist cops, but then later shoots Don Cheadle's brother. I mean, geez. You'd think LA ad a larger population then 10 people, but not in this movie.

My biggest problem with this movie, though, was the Middle Eastern guy. Crash is supposed to be against racism, but this is the one character who has no real good points at all. I mean, even the racist pigs do good stuff. The Middle Eastern guy almost kills a little girl while trying to kill her father just because he didn't listen and get his door fixed like he sould have. I just don't get how the director can be telling us this racism sucks message while conveniently portraying the Middle Eastern guy as a raving, crazy, murderous luncatic.

Anyway, I didn't like it.

Superbad was funny, though.

Saw Rush Hour 3.

Good movie.
Felt short.

Better than 2.
A little less than one.

I never understood what was so great about the movie. I thought it was okay... one of the worst rated movies to win best picture, btw http://www.rottentomatoes.com/featur...75&mid=1144992 . Although, so was Gladiator http://www.rottentomatoes.com/featur...70&mid=1096836 , which I love.

I don't understand why people like rottentomatoes.

IMDb is the way to go!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0172495/

Because at IMDB movies are rated by every last joe shmoe out there who knows little to nothing about what a good movie is.

Plus you get horrible movies that are given 10s by an inordinate amount of people because the only people who bother to go and rate the horrible movie are the idiots who love the movie. At RottenTomatoes, practically every movie is rated by practically every critic regardless of their opinion of it, they don't just go and rate the ones they love.

IMDB is great for obscure movie knowledge, but as for ratings, it's a joke. Maybe you were joking?
